Pillars of Ita

The silver branches entwined around the silver coin symbolize two intertwined destinies.

One points to the past and the other to the future.

Fate breeds different possibilities at both ends of the same coin, and that silent and gentle gaze is watching the changes happen.

Fang He threw the coin high up. Alyndor's eyes followed the movement, from stillness to movement, from a moment to infinity, like the voice of a nightingale singing through the woods, low and dark, and the water flowing under the ice, silently.

However, the flapping of birds' wings made a sound like breaking ice.

A pitch-black sword, woven from pure water, appeared out of thin air. It gathered into a beam and stabbed straight at Fang He from behind.

When Avani stepped out of the forest, he saw Mia confronting Elindor. But he turned his eyes to the side, fell on Fang He, raised his hand, and the power of the law came into being.

A black sword swept over.

He had no intention of killing the young man, as killing him would only make the Sea Witch go berserk, but catching him would make things much easier; the black sword softened under his guidance and turned into tentacles that swept towards Fang He.

He should have grabbed the other person.

But the black tentacles seemed to have hit a sticky object, not an air wall or a force field. These two could not obstruct the laws. The only thing that could obstruct the laws was the product of the laws.

The dragon knight's perception is delicate and sharp. The dragon knight from the empire changed his expression at the first moment. He thought there was a third dragon knight at the scene, but in fact there was not.

A layer of tuff-like product formed in the air, like a layer of dust floating up, and tiny lights were flickering in the dust. It was as if thousands of starlights merged together to form elements, form matter, and finally form a gray wall.

The process is a long story, but in fact it only took a moment, just like ice floes floating on the water surface, which gathered together and condensed into a wall on the invisible "river surface", blocking the way of many black tentacles.

Avani's face suddenly changed.

Although he had already smelled the breath of the power of law from it, the power of law itself did not surprise him - the gap between the half-baked Silver Rank and the real Dragon Knight was like an inconceivable chasm.

But a genuine dragon knight attacked a little guy who was not even at the silver level, and it was a sneak attack, but he actually missed. What made him feel ashamed and angry was how did the other party react?

But Fang He seemed to have just realized something. He turned around without much surprise and looked at Avani who appeared at the edge of the forest, as if this scene had happened thousands of times before.

He calmly raised his right hand in that direction and spread out his five fingers.

Seeing this, Alindor opened his mouth and was about to remind someone, but suddenly he saw flames weaving in the void, like golden fire burning in the black dust, and in the end only two points of dazzling light were left.

Like Venus, falling into dust.

Dragon Soul.

The Elf Lord was shocked. Although he had heard about it before, seeing an awakened dragon soul in the world was still enough to make him excited. What's more, that dragon soul...

Nicobolas, the Dragon Witch.

He saw that countless gray walls were collapsing towards the center, and countless substances were weaving into a silver arm, which was completely snow-white and was burning out from between countless silver patterns.

Creation method.

Dragon Knight Construct...

Countless thoughts came to Elindor's mind in an instant, but how could the Creation Method weave a dragon knight? Moreover, the other party had not even stepped into the door of the Silver Steps.

But it was too late for the elf lord to sigh.

The Imperial Dragon Knight not far away saw the silver claws piercing through the layers of magic circles and stabbing towards him. Behind the burning flames, it seemed as if there was a pair of golden eyes locking onto him.

Without thinking, he raised his hand to block it.

At that time, Zuliana, who was a step slower than him, just shot out from the forest. When she saw this scene, especially the snow-white mecha arm, her face changed drastically:

"Avani, let go!"

But the Empire's dragon knight was too late to react, and he didn't think he needed to dodge an attack from a half-baked Silver Rank.

Nini swung her flaming hair, and her long flaming dragon tail curled slightly behind her. She clenched her fists, stared at her father's enemy in front of her with golden eyes, and punched out.

Fang He stood side by side with Miss Dragon Soul in the void, silver light rising in both of their eyes, and countless amounts of data were like several rivers.

Connected to each other in the world of ether, the three rivers of light converged into a platinum arm, transformed into a blade, and swung forward.

The blade hit the surging black tide - the tentacles formed by the pure black water were woven together to form a resilient wall.

But it only existed for a moment.

The snow-white blade claws pierced out from under the broken black liquid and pierced through Avani's wall of laws under his incredulous gaze.

He only had time to summon his dragon knight construct at the last moment and use his jet-black arm armor to block the opponent's attack, but because he was too close, the impact force was still transmitted to him.

The empire's dragon knight flew out like a cannonball.

Zuliana did not even turn her head, she knew that this amount of damage was not enough to hurt that guy. She stood still for a moment, all her eyes on the dragon knight's arm woven by the Creation Art.

The arm was covered in snow-white armor, with crystals gathered by light filling the space between the armor, forming dark green light paths that crisscrossed each other.

Both elegant and mysterious.

"It," Juliana's tone was a little unbelievable, and she was silent for a moment: "White Knight..."

In the ancient legend of Rotao, the black and white knights are the ancestors of all dragon riders in the world, but being an ancestor does not mean being powerful.

The magic technology of Attalia has been developing with the pace of time. The remaining technologies are inevitably eliminated by history, and the legendary holy objects are inevitably covered in dust in this era.

But there are only a few exceptions.

The several holy objects obtained by the Numelin elves from the light contain great secrets. Their power comes from the laws themselves, and even has a certain relationship with the saints behind them.

The White Knight comes from another legend.

The White Knight of Kwenral came from the ruins of the Black Throne in the Skyfall Lands. It led the mortals to victory in the war, but did not disappear with its master after the war.

The White Knight was kept in the Holy Valley of the Former Kings. Later craftsmen dismantled its structure and derived it into the "Light Knight" series, which is also the prototype of the later "Silver Wings" series of dragon knights.

This series of artificial dragon riders are still widely used in Giant Tree Hill, although each of them is different and has its own adjustments to suit different dragon riders.

But their prototypes all come from the ancient original machine from a thousand years ago.

As for the original body, ever since the death of the Lord of Light, along with the disappearance of his contract with his own dragon soul, the power of the laws on it also disappeared.

Until today.

"The illusion that Irs saw in the vision of the blind god turned out to be real," Juliana looked at him in disbelief. "What is your connection with the White Knight and the Black Knight?"

Fang He was slightly startled before realizing that the other party had misunderstood him.

However, a trace of doubt did flash through his mind. Why could Miss Tata summon the black and white knights? According to her description, she should have never seen the laws of "creation" and "destruction".

However, he did not answer, but just looked at the other party, signaling him to attack.

Juliana was also startled, but then she looked at the other person in surprise - she knew that she and Ming were close friends, but she also knew that she had to take action today.

His action was to show that he didn't mind and let her go ahead without worrying. She couldn't tell for a moment whether Ming's student was giving up on himself or was he really that confident.

She subconsciously took a screenshot and sent it to Ming on the other side. The Construct Queen, who was confronting the Grand Princess, looked at her communication crystal in confusion, and then gritted her teeth and cursed:

"This unfortunate boy."

"Juliana, be gentle!"

"This is a public channel." Juliana didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This master and disciple pair was really...

But she shook her head. It was impossible for her to hold back now, not to mention that as a dragon knight, did she really have no dignity?

Zuliana glanced in the direction of the sea witch and drew her sword. Before becoming a dragon knight, Avani was a wizard, and he was not good at close combat.

But she was different, she was a real melee dragon knight. She was sure she could take down the young man in one blow, but she was really worried about the sea witch next to her.

Miya and Ming have a certain friendship, but she has no dealings with her. The two are like strangers. This sea witch has a fierce reputation and her strength is far superior to hers.

Fortunately, the sea witch was currently confronting the Lord of the Sun Shadow Land and did not even glance in this direction, which made Zuliana a little confused.

Is the other party really so confident?

However, she did not dare to think too much and only focused her eyes on Fang He. Considering the difference in strength, she took the initiative to remind him: "Little guy, be careful."

Then, with a flash of sword light, Zuliana disappeared from the spot. She didn't even summon her dragon knight - because there was no need. Besides, as a dragon knight, it was unlikely for her to attack with all her strength in this place.

Zuliana wanted to defeat the enemy with one strike, and it would be best if she could subdue Fang He before the sea witch could react, and then force her to surrender. Otherwise, if she went berserk, the Giant Tree Hill would be safe, but the Elf Court would probably become history.

The Silver Wind Watcher may not care about this, but Lothal cannot be blamed for this.

But as soon as she made a move, she felt something was wrong.

Her law of power is wind, the omnipresent elemental wind. The flowing air is her net for sensing her prey, and her swordsmanship is the best at tracking down enemies.

But the wind felt a strange obstruction when it passed through the forest, as if every tree and every branch was not on its side. The power of the law made a rustling sound when it passed through the bushes on the ground, and the wind was blocked by the forest.

In just a thousandth of a blink of an eye, the female swordsman appeared behind Fang He like a ghost, holding a sword and stabbing him in the back.

She avoided the vital points with this sword, intending to pierce Fang He's magic furnace from an oblique direction, and then injure the opponent's right leg to limit his mobility.

She didn't intend to kill anyone, she just wanted to capture him. That was how it should be.

But incredibly, the sword pierced through a shadow, as if the young man had taken a step to the side before she drew her sword.

Juliana's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but have the same thoughts as Avani - how did he react? How did he avoid it?

It seemed like a sword that had been tempered a thousand times, but it had been calculated tens of millions of times in endless time. In most of the possible situations, it pierced through the magic furnace with one sword.

But in the rare cases where it was possible, it fell through.

Fang He chose the minority possibility.

The female dragon knight from Lotao felt the suppression of an inexplicable law in the air. It was not the art of creation, and she couldn't even tell what it was.

But that mysterious temperament exudes tremendous pressure all the time, making her sword and her wind wander in time, picking out the wrong one from countless correct answers.

She stood in the torrent of time, as if countless forks in the road were unfolding before her eyes, each leading to a different tributary of destiny.

She saw countless versions of herself within the rules, and finally collapsed into that one single one - the one chosen by Fang He.

Juliana was shocked. This was definitely not the power of the White Knight, but that kind of power was definitely there. If she wasn't a dragon rider, she wouldn't even be able to sense it.

"Juliana, be careful," a voice came from behind her, "this place is weird!"

A black arrow flew past her side and headed towards Fang He not far away.

But it also merged into the endless river of fate, forming countless fragments. It hit Fang He, pierced the young man's chest, and knocked him out.

But that fragment disappeared, and Juliana saw countless scenes being played out over and over again in infinite time, as if they were stretched into a series of movie reels.

But the films overlapped each other and then came together to form a scene in her eyes:

The sharp arrow made of black water brushed past the young man, leaving a bloody mark on his cheek, and hit a towering tree behind him, breaking it into pieces with a heavy groan.

"Juliana, right!"

Avani's voice came again.

The two dragon knights no longer cared to figure out what was going on. The scene before them made them feel as if they were the challengers, challenging the young man standing at the end of time.

Juliana looked to the side and saw the silver coin flipping and falling in mid-air. When each side of it turned to the right side, it reflected a dazzling light.

The silver coin of destiny——

Blessed by the Most Holy Place, Cursed Money.

It blesses those she chooses and curses those who pay the price.

Put the same justice on both ends of the scale.

"Is it Ms. Roman's protection?" A thought flashed through Juliana's mind. Is it fate? Or the avenue? No, she immediately shook her head and threw this absurd idea out of her mind.

Why did I have the idea that the goddess of the Great Dao would be connected to the wrong path of fate? What was wrong with me? The lady on the scale had no intersection with time and fate.

Although her thoughts were complicated, her hands were moving quickly.

"Knock that silver coin down!"

Avani shouted and appeared on the other side of the forest with his dragon knight construct. He had rarely summoned his magic staff and was weaving a huge and complex spell with the monstrous black tide.

When Fang He saw the familiar scene, he took a step back as if according to a predetermined plan, retreating to the point that he had already chosen among thousands of possibilities.

It was as if he had been through it all, and there was no hesitation on his face.

Zuliana swung her sword at the silver coin, and at the same time she reached out her hand to Fang He - a green vortex appeared in the void, and endless wind elements formed a claw.

The green claw came straight down from mid-air and grabbed in the direction where Fang He was.

Zuliana no longer cared about so much. This was the first time she summoned her dragon knight construct and used at least one third of her strength.

She was worried that the guy in the first division would leave no room for him, and she had promised Ming to protect the young man. Even if their goals were the same, she couldn't let him die here.

But at that moment.

A look of disbelief flashed across Juliana's face.

She looked back and saw that her sword had only swept away a shadow, as if the rotating silver coin was just an illusion reflected on the water.

Like a mirror flower and a moon in the water——

It rippled and revealed another layer of scene between the intertwined silver branches. In the glowing green light, it was like the first ray of dawn born in the darkness.

It sparkles with the azure light of a newborn star.

Cang Zhihui.

In the midst of that glow, there was a crown woven from twelve crystals.

Juliana was so shocked that she froze in place.

The story in the pages is too gloomy, time is bound to move towards a decaying future, everything is too boring and obvious.

But looking back at the past at the end of time, fate breeds countless possibilities on the same branch, and the future driven by desire and curiosity will lead people to break through the invisible cage.

Just like a white tree growing new branches under the wall, it allows people to experience every possibility on the tree of destiny until the holy white moon rises and sets.

At that moment, Juliana finally saw what was hidden beneath the silver coin, the invisible law.

An unfamiliar word popped up in her mind.

The girl of destiny.

The alliance of two goddesses——

Destiny hangs its crown and bestows its gifts on mortals.

It is like countless broken walls rising from the ground to form a grand palace. Among the fallen rocks and gravel, mortals can only fight, and dragon knights are also confined under the dome of fate.

"The Holy Land of Destiny..."

Juliana finally discovered the truth about the law that shrouded this place. There was indeed a layer of protection here, which was imposed on each of them through the crown.

And that crown was in the young man's hand.

The crown of the kings and lords of Hailin, a sacred object left by the elves.

Fang He looked at everyone present.

He couldn't avoid the sharp claws hanging from his head. Even if he had one-third of the dragon rider's strength, he couldn't avoid this inevitable blow in any timeline.

Time can only weave possibilities, but it cannot truly allow him to gain extraordinary divine power. However, in any possibility, he may move towards that only destiny.

What's more, Avani in the distance had also completed his deadly spell, and the black tide was sweeping towards him like covering the sky.

But the miracle still happened.

Avani suddenly realized that he had made a fatal mistake, as if he had missed a crucial node in every spell he chanted, which was a mistake that a dragon knight should not have made.

But the mistake happened, and he discovered with his own eyes that among every possibility he had predicted, there was one more - like a sudden branch that lay across his path.

It wasn't there originally, but it just appeared out of nowhere.

An unfamiliar, verdant woodland appeared in the path of his spell. It shouldn't have been there, but countless branches grew out of the land, and a white tree appeared where it shouldn't have been.

His magic spell, the pitch-black arrow and claw, hit the sacred tree.

The claw of the dragon knight hanging from mid-air also tilted to the side in a green light. A dense forest was rising from the ground, transforming the woodland into a natural temple.

Surrounded by branches and vines, birds are singing and flowers are blooming.

Ailindor held the sword in his hand and watched the scene with slight trembling. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth for a moment.

Fang He told him that he would prove everything that followed, but at this moment, the elf lord finally understood what the other party meant by "proof".

Mirella.

Amaya.

With a clang, the sword in Zuliana's hand fell to the ground, and the blue dragon knight in the air suddenly disappeared. She stared at the scene in amazement:

"Grayland, the wild and unrestrained land, her..."

"The Kingdom of God..."

There is a second sacred area on this land.

Natural sanctuary.
