Chapter 3616 Divine Mark
The maze-like corridors constantly have new forks in the road.
If there is no map, you will definitely get lost here.
With Napoli leading the way, they are not at risk of getting lost. However, Angel discovered that Napoli did not seem to take the shortest shortcut recorded in the crystal ball.
Instead, he took some detours.
Facing Angel's curiosity, Napoli explained: "The route that seems to be the closest in the map may not be the shortest in time."
Because some routes have to go through rooms.
And the rooms marked on the map are of uniform size. The map only tells the reader that there are rooms here, and does not indicate the size of the room.
Therefore, some rooms that look small are actually very large, and there may even be space extensions and layers inside, which are as large as an entire city.
Passing through the room is not necessarily the best route.
"Generally speaking, it is best to choose a corridor rather than passing through the room." The road led by Napoli is a corridor from beginning to end, without passing through any room.
It looks like a long detour, but in fact, it takes much less time than the so-called straight shortcut.
However, because they have been walking in corridors, sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, sometimes uphill and sometimes downhill, sometimes turning and sometimes sitting on slides, it really feels like walking in a maze.
Anyway, even if Angel had a map in his hand, he felt a little dizzy.
Later, Angel simply stopped thinking about the map and just followed Napoli.
There were not only them in the corridor, occasionally there would be crystal-eyed people or Piruxiu passing by, but they were basically in a hurry and would not stop at all.
According to Napoli, these people are almost all smelting workers in the embryo factory.
Specialized in material smelting.
The smelted materials will eventually be sent to the production area, where the craftsmen will make the final mold.
The work intensity of the smelting workers is actually heavier than that of the people in the manufacturing area. They will select and analyze the materials and finally smelt the materials.
Every step cannot be wrong.
Moreover, the better the selected materials, the higher their yield rate will be. The more good products they produce, the more rewards they will get.
Therefore, in order to improve the yield rate, many smelting workers will find someone to specifically monitor the materials at the unloading area and select the best quality materials to improve the yield rate.
Those who are in a hurry on the corridor are all going to the unloading area to pick up goods, so they will naturally not stop casually. If they are late, they will not be able to pick up good consumables.
Originally, they thought that they would walk smoothly all the way to the production area.
But at this moment, they passed a slightly dark corridor and were stopped by a black-haired man.
When they were far away from the man, Angel noticed him, because he looked like a smelting worker, but he did not go to pick up goods, but kept wandering outside the corridor, looking like he had encountered difficulties.
When they approached, the black-haired man immediately stopped them.
To be precise, he stopped Napoli.
In Napoli's puzzled eyes, the black-haired man pulled down the gray scarf around his neck, moved his mouth, and the fragmented sound floated into Napoli's ears.
After speaking,
The black-haired man looked at Napoli eagerly with a trace of guilt and expectation.
Napoli sighed deeply and rubbed his temple helplessly.
He did not reply immediately, but walked to Angel: "I'm sorry, he encountered some smelting problems here. I'll go in to help him and come out soon..."
Napoli's tone was full of apology, and his voice became lower and lower: "Or, you go first, I'll come to find you later..."
Angel: "It's okay, you go to help him, we'll wait for you here."
Hearing Angel's response, Napoli breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll be back soon, just a small problem, I'll be out in a few minutes."
After speaking, Napoli nodded to the black-haired man, and the two walked quickly into the door on the side of the corridor.
The door was not closed, and Angel could see from the outside that there was an extremely large space inside.
In the center of the space was a huge deep pit, with a large amount of magma flowing in the pit, the temperature was extremely high, and there was even a burst of flames rushing straight into the air.
Even though the gate was far from the deep pit, Angel could still feel waves of heat sweeping in from inside the gate.
The black-haired man, with Napoli, walked around the deep pit and headed upwards.
There should be a smelting table above, but because the distance was too far, he couldn't see the specific situation.
Angel simply retracted his sight.
"The man just now was a Seto." Laplace said softly.
Seto? Angel was stunned. Is he from the same tribe as Kaisha?
The biggest feature of Seto is the special lines around his mouth.
The black-haired man just now had a gray scarf, which was very high and covered his lips. Therefore, Angel had not noticed his identity before.
But now thinking back, the black-haired man pulled down his scarf when he spoke, and indeed saw some strange lines around his mouth.
So it seems to be Seto.
Angel felt a little emotional. He didn't expect that the first living Seto he saw was actually met here.
"By the way, I remember Napoli said before that the smelters and craftsmen here are assigned according to their ethnic groups. Since we encountered Seto here, doesn't that mean that the Changhuo tribe is also nearby?"
The Seto people are a subordinate group of the Changhu tribe, so where the Seto people are, there are probably Changhu people.
Angel looked back at the dark corridor, and there were several closed doors. Maybe behind the door was the territory of the Changhu tribe?
Laplace: "Are you worried about the Changhu tribe?"
Angel: "Not worried, but afraid that they can't help but incite."
Laplace shook his head gently: "Don't worry about this, I just asked Gleipnir, she said that the Changhu tribe has its own embryo factory."
The Changhu tribe is best at inciting war, and their military industry system is also among the best in the entire Bairijing domain.
Therefore, they can completely rely on their own people to support an embryo factory.
Since the Changhu tribe has its own embryo factory, they will naturally not send people to other factories to make trouble. Therefore, even if the Changhu tribe really can't help inciting, they can only digest it internally and can't incite outside.
Laplace: "I'm actually more curious about why Seto is here. Generally speaking, wouldn't they be more suitable in the embryo factory of the Changhu tribe?"
This is also the reason why Laplace just pointed out that the black-haired man is Seto.
Angel: "Gleipnir doesn't know either?"
Laplace shook his head: "She doesn't care about the distribution of these tribes. This is what Naples is in charge of."
Angel: "Then wait for Naples to come out and ask him directly."
Laplace nodded and said no more.
...
While waiting for Naples, Angel asked curiously: "At the beginning, Naples asked Gleipnir for divination, but there was no result at all?"
Although Angel himself can't do divination, he knows that divination is actually to trigger "intelligence", find key information, and finally perform spiritual synaesthesia.
Naples's request is to find his own tribe, and he himself is the biggest witness and material evidence. With such key information, spiritual synaesthesia should not be a way to get nothing, right?
Laplace: "Gleipnir did not divine his origins, but there are some inside stories that Naples does not know."
Angel's eyes lit up: "What inside stories?"
Anyway, Naples was not here at the moment, so Laplace did not hide anything and told him all the information he knew.
Two thousand years ago, after the dragon baby incident, the Hundred Dragon Kingdom invited Gleipnir to do divination.
This divination was very crucial, but it lacked some necessary ritual props.
At that time, it was Naples who helped Gleipnir to make arrangements, and finally exhausted all the energy in his divine runes, and only at the critical moment did he refine the corresponding ritual props.
Although Gleipnir did not say it, he was convinced in his heart that he owed Naples a favor.
Therefore, when Naples asked her to help divine her own tribe, Gleipnir immediately agreed.
I wanted to repay Naples' favor, but...the divination result was wrong.
She could not predict anything, as if Naples' life was a mystery.
"At that time, I was also a little surprised when I heard about this. Because Naples himself is here, it should not be difficult to predict his origins."
Because of similar divinations, Gleipnir has encountered more outrageous and difficult ones, such as some people just holding a hair, or clothes stained with the other person's breath, hoping to predict the other person's origins.
And facing such difficult divinations, Gleipnir can calculate accurately, not to mention that Naples himself is in front of him, it should be easier.
But the result surprised everyone.
"Although Gleipnir tried all kinds of methods, he could not predict Naples' origins. But she also analyzed some deep reasons through some side details."
She originally thought that Naples' life might be very unusual, and was protected by some powerful force, which made it impossible to perform divination.
So, she expanded the divination terms, not to divine Naples' specific life experience, but to use Naples as a base point to find the ethnic group behind him.
But even so, she still didn't get any results.
This is very strange, which means that not only those who are related to Naples by blood can't divine, but even those of the same ethnic group who are not related to Naples can't divine.
In this case, Gleipnir only has one possibility.
The ethnic group behind Naples, or the civilization and world he lives in, is very special, surrounded by mysterious power or similar powerful forces.
In other words, all ethnic groups, without exception, cannot be divined.
A powerful force that can cover the world and cover civilization, Gleipnir can't peek, and she doesn't even dare to say more easily.
Because Naples is the person involved, she is likely to be targeted by the powerful force behind his ethnic group as soon as she speaks out, breaking the "taboo".
In this case, even if Gleipnir analyzed some secrets, she didn't dare to tell Naples.
She just said that she didn't get any information from the divination.
This also means that she didn't repay the other party's favor.
Although Naples didn't say anything, Gleipnir felt very guilty, which is why Gleipnir's attitude towards Naples was softer than anyone else.
"The power that can affect the whole world..." Angel's eyes flashed with surprise. This kind of power is at least above the legendary one, right? Or, stronger?
In this way, Naples' life experience is really mysterious.
Originally, Angel was just curious about Naples' origins. But after listening to Laplace's story, he was a little itchy.
"Since there is no way to determine his origins through divination, can we find out his origins by comparing the unusual places on Naples?" Angel asked.
"Gleipnir has done it, and even Naples' master, Algaron, has made similar comparisons." Laplace: "The final result is that Naples does have something different, but only Naples has it. They have not seen anything similar in any other tribe."
Therefore, there is no way to find out his origins.
Angel asked curiously: "What is it that only Naples has, and no one else has it?"
Laplace was silent for a moment, and gently uttered a word: "... Divine Rune."
Divine Rune?
Angel's eyes flashed with confusion. He vaguely remembered that Laplace seemed to have mentioned "the energy in the Divine Rune is exhausted" before. Is the Divine Rune here unique to Naples?
Laplace: "The divine pattern, in fact, you should have seen it before, it is a pattern on Naples' arm."
Angel recalled that there was indeed a pattern of a hammer and flame on Naples' arm.
However, when he first saw it, Angel only thought it was a tattoo and didn't think much about it.
Unexpectedly, it was the divine pattern? Is it the unique place of Naples?
Laplace nodded: "Yes, it is the divine pattern."
Naples' divine pattern looks like a tattoo, but it is actually a very strange organ. In Gleipnir's words, the divine pattern is an external energy organ.
The source of Naples' power comes from the divine pattern.
According to Naples, after he became a hollow man, he lost all his memories, but he did not lose his power. Because his power is stored in the divine pattern.
When he "communicated" with the divine pattern again, he found his ability.
In simple terms, he can obtain the "skills" and corresponding energy stored in the divine pattern by communicating with the divine pattern.
As for the "communication" here, how exactly it is communicated, Napoli has no way to describe it in detail.
He can communicate naturally, so he can't explain how this communication is done.
It's like silicon-based creatures, no matter how hard they try, they can't make carbon-based creatures understand their ideology and lifestyle.
In short, communicating with divine patterns is something Napoli is born with, and outsiders can't learn it.
