Chapter 1251 The Future Six Years After 180

180 six years.

This time is neither long nor short.

A full nine generations... It is enough to turn a dynasty from prosperity to decline, but probably not enough to make the Misty Continent unrecognizable.

... However, the facts seem to be somewhat different from what Annan thought.

The speed of progress in this world even far exceeded Annan's imagination.

If the name of this land had not been changed, then Annan's current location should be called "Holy Mountain Principality", which was under the jurisdiction of the empire.And the rulers of the empire should be the descendants of Annan and Kafni.

However, what caught Annan's eyes was a spectacular scene that could shock him——

It was like a huge holy grail, a steel city towering into the sky.

The original Theocracy was like a tree of rock formations—thick, huge stone pillars were propped up from the grasslands, and cities were built in the "sky" far away from the ground.Although there are also blessings of divine magic and rituals, the exposed stones can still be seen.

It is a fantasy city that will make people feel "fantastic".

And now-

I saw that the outer layer of the original "stone pillar" was twisted and twisted like an optical fiber around the outer layer of the vertical elevator.It looks like some kind of conduit, with countless streams of light flying up and down through it.

The Theocracy, which originally only had the top floor, had at least tripled its maximum height and divided it into more than a hundred layers horizontally.There are people living on every floor, the flow of people is surging, and it looks like a huge office building.

—and now it is night.

However, neon lights of various colors lit up on every floor of The Theocracy.People were chatting noisily.

There was a torrential rain that was similar to when Annan left. The rain passed through Annan's body, making Annan's body flicker on and off like a projection with a bad signal.

But on the top floor of The Theocracy, there are thin barriers that shone with various halos like the ceiling, blocking most of the rain.

The rainwater is gathered together and falls like a waterfall at a specific location, forming a spectacle in the city.

The pedestrians on the top floor, wearing expensive formal suits with a sense of futuristic design, walk through layers of barriers with a strong sense of design.They seem to be in a hurry with their business and travel in a hurry.

Those streamlined, sports car-like vehicles abound.

Annan also saw some riders wearing neon-style helmets and riding motorcycles, speeding past the barrier above to block the rain.

Those motorcycles did not make a huge roaring noise, but dragged streams of light of different colors at the rear of the car, and an arc-shaped light curtain appeared in front of them to resist the air and rain, and they made a whistling crash while speeding at high speed. Empty sound.

Judging from the calm and calm attitude of the people below, Annan quickly judged that these riders should be similar to police or patrols.

"……Um?"

Annan, who was floating in the sky, suddenly saw a somewhat familiar scene.

So Annan slowly floated down.

When passing through the enchantment that blocked the rain, there was no triggered reaction.It was as if Annan was just a phantom from the past.

He floated at a height of less than one meter above the road, looking up at a huge building whose shape and color were as complex as bismuth crystals but with a sense of strange regularity.

There is a line of words embedded in it clearly:

【Hohenheim Pharmaceutical Group】

In front of the company name, it also projects a pattern that is presumably a trademark.

And that trademark pattern was the necklace that Salvatore gave to Annan, which contained a Philosopher's Stone - a flat hexagonal ruby ​​like a bottle of essential oil.

This is Annan's most reliable hole card before he advances to the truth level, or even the gold level.

But Annan didn't use it until he was at his most dangerous.Part of the reason is that Annan is indeed a hamster party who doesn't like to use expensive consumables; another part of the reason is that making this Philosopher's Stone is also a burden for seniors.

...Although the Philosopher's Stone no longer has any meaning to Annan today, Annan still carries it with him today.Because this is the proof of his friendship with Salvatore, and it is Annan's mascot.

——As for the "Vatore's Ritual", it is a proof of the friendship between senior sister Valtore and Annan.

The familiar thing Annan saw in the sky before was actually this trademark.

"That boy Hohenheim..."

Annan's expression was a bit complicated: "Has he become such a big man?
"I don't know if he's still alive..."

Von Hohenheim... also known as Paracelsus, is Salvatore's only student, and he can be regarded as his personal disciple.

Little Hohenheim was only ten years old when Salvatore brought him out of the Black Tower of the Marsh.And not long after that, the Zedi Black Tower fell... into a sea of ​​flames.

Hohenheim was the only surviving student of Zedi Black Tower who hadn't graduated yet.It can be said that he is a representative of the old black tower - all the wizards after him are "new students" recruited during the reconstruction stage.

"……Um?"

At this moment, a girl's doubtful voice sounded.

Annan cast his gaze over.

It was a female centaur in clothes.

She looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, and she was quite petite.Her silver-white long hair was tied into a ponytail, so it could be said that she was a girl with twin ponytails.

When she passed by Annan, she seemed to notice something.But she immediately turned into pure white future eyes without pupils, but she couldn't see anything.In the end, she tilted her head in doubt, and walked towards the gate of "Hohenheim Pharmaceutical Group".

She didn't stop, and was scanned when she passed the corridor.

"Master Amabelle, good evening."

A female synthetic voice rang through the door.

Can horse people come to work in human society now?

But it's already night now... What is she doing in the company?
With a thought in his heart, Annan floated and followed in.

Now he has no idea about "where the hell is the worm", and has no idea to find it... According to their previous discussion, as long as the worm exists, it will continuously create chaos, regression, and despair around it.

But in Annan's view, the development of the Theocracy is excellent.

It's not so much the worm that's around as the Skycrawler that's watching.

Since there is no way to find the worm immediately, it is better to complete the ceremony first...to obtain "Kornunos".

Before "Qing Tune" Li Geya came over, let's take a look at what has changed in this world.

Annan also didn't know what kind of business this "Hohenheim" company was doing.

I don't know if they have embarrassed their patriarch Benjamin...but probably not, after all Benjamin also has the aptitude to become a god.Most of them have become gods now.

It's just that Annan couldn't find the statue of Benjamin at all.

In the original Theocracy, there were seven huge statues of gods, and under the statues was a smaller circle of statues of slave gods, and in some places there were even smaller circles of false gods—but even if they were false gods, there were still stands. About three or four meters high.From any place in the city, you can see the position of the statue.

But now...Annan didn't even find one.Because the Theocracy achieved earth-shaking expansion, he couldn't even find the original statue's location for a while.

...It can't be demolished, right?
