Chapter 129 Alexander's Night
In fact, however, there is always the first person to eat crabs, and there is always the first person to eat barbecue after the fire.There will always be someone who can overcome the creature's own fear of fire, gain strength from fire, and elevate the entire civilization to a new height.

Fortunately, fire is hot, and so is this world.No matter which side it is on, the fire favors human beings themselves, and nothing indescribable is above human beings.As long as the power of fire is controlled, harnessed, and preserved, human beings can go further.That's the job of the fire watcher.

"Welcome, welcome." Titus applauded in the courtyard. "Welcome the four fire watchers to join us on this glorious journey. I will present a badge to you first."

He handed the small triangles to four people in turn.The golden triangular emblem is only the size of a fingernail, without any decoration.

"This is the fire watcher's badge. Wear it with the hem parallel to the ground and the arrow pointing up."

He pointed to his chest, where the badge was in the shape of "△".

"When you wear it, it must not be reversed. Although our work can be called 'occult', knowledge is more important than anything else. So I will explain the meaning-the △ mark in alchemy means flame. Inverted Come over is water, not fire. The three sides also symbolize the three greatness of Hermes: magic, alchemy and astrology. It also symbolizes the three realms of all knowledge: people, the world, symbols. 3 is a sacred The number is also an auspicious sign."

It was said that all four of them wore the triangular badge properly.In fact, it will not be worn backwards, because the badge is connected by a buckle.The buckle on the back of the badge is not symmetrical, and it cannot be buckled in reverse.Titus' reminder was only for safety reasons, and also to inform the four of them of a principle.

"Then everyone, you may have seen it. To sneak in the night, what you need is not faith or courage, but knowledge. I will repeat the most important knowledge: please keep in mind the definition of night. Night is the shadow of the earth, and night is the shadow of the earth. There is no sun, only stars and the moon. If you find that the 'night' you entered does not match the situation I described, immediately go back the same way without hesitation."

All four nodded.

"Okay, then please come here to get the necessary consumables for the journey, the EITR potion. It's still the same as before, I will never keep it secret, I will definitely tell you 'what I am using', and not let you It is very important to enter a state of ecstasy. The EITR potion in your hands is actually the water of the River Styx."

"Is it the water of the Styx River?" Shang Luo asked.

"No, I don't know where you've heard 'the water of the Styx'. But the water of the Great Styx is undrinkable, absolutely not. The EITR is the water of other Styxes. There is more than one Styx. Which one? The water of the River Styx is a commercial secret. All you need to know is that the water in the River Styx is just a solvent, because what you need to inhale cannot be captured directly, but can only be marked first and then carried—that is, phlogiston. Phlogiston dissolves in this article the water of the River Styx, so you are actually breathing phlogiston."

"Is this important information?" Han Xingzhi's eyes were full of expectation.

"As expected of a veteran player. If you often play our "Heroes Tour", you will know that phlogiston is an important resource alongside life. Zero life often does not lead to the end of the game, because the character can be resurrected. But if the phlogiston returns Zero, the game will be terminated immediately, and the character will also fall into a permanent 'death' state, because it symbolizes the extinction of the soul. But phlogiston is not a cold and dangerous thing, but phlogiston is a hot opportunity, and it is also the place where extraordinary skills are released. The price that needs to be paid. So it must, must."

He grabbed the steel cylinder in his hand: "Before I say you can take it off, please don't take off the breathing mask. Don't take it off, this is the most important rule."

"We'll be in Alexandria later, can you take it off?" Shang Luo asked.To tell the truth, he was hungry.Even if he was eating something from "night", he reckoned he would have to open his mouth to eat it.If you don't use your mouth, the joy of eating is gone.

"Alexandria is not used. Because there is a lighthouse in Alexandria, the 'Lampfield' supported by the lighthouse is an area naturally filled with phlogiston and can be regarded as a safe area. The Mithra Sacrificial Site we will use later is also a part of the Lanternfield. Kind, but only as big as the room. The lamp burning field in Alexandria is the largest one in the Western Hemisphere, second only to the glazed pagoda of the Dabaoen Temple in the world. So you don’t have to worry about your own safety, but please also prepare a breathing mask at any time, in case needs."

Jinyiwei Yamen is not far from Dabaoen Temple.Dabaoen Temple is a scenic spot, but the interior of the glazed pagoda is not open to visit, and the surrounding area is also a non-public exhibition area.After entering the lower part of the glazed pagoda from the back door, there was no one there, only Lu Huaiyang was waiting there early.

At the entrance of the Glazed Tower, Lu Huaiyang waved to them: "Have fun."

The atmosphere was as cheerful as a spring outing, and Titus was like a tour guide—this time not only Titus as a raven, but also 5 other people, including a lion and a hound, all arrived.

At the end of the walk, Titus first set the time with Lu Huaiyang: "We won't go for too long, because there is not much time until dawn. We will be back in 2 hours, please wait for us here."

After explaining, Titus was the last one to enter the glazed pagoda and closed the door.

Others were already waiting inside, and the entity code-named "Hound Dog" was at the forefront.

"Attention everyone, just take a shallow breath of phlogiston. You don't need to drown this time, just take a light breath. Then you don't go up the stairs, but down. Hound, turn on the light."

With a "snap", the hound at the front of the queue turned on the flashlight in his hand-the surrounding environment became darker, and the darkness like black oil shrouded the downward corridor.It is the same as the one shown to Shangluo last time, only bigger.

"Guys, please don't look back, because this black light can only illuminate the front. Are you all ready? Very good. Hound, go down the stairs."

A group of people went down the stairs, down, down.The further down, the more real the night becomes.The surrounding air also seemed to be faintly descending—the diving gear, which was still a little hot just now, now played the role of heat preservation.

It didn't take long, it seemed that only one floor was gone.When the last ray of sunlight from the upper floor disappeared from the last person's field of vision, the hound stopped.

He reached out into the darkness and felt the sound of the wooden door.Lift the door gate and open the door, silver light shines from the door:
The moon, the huge moon occupies half of the sky, reflecting the night sky and the sea in bright silver.The rustle of waves crashing on the shore was drowned out by the noise of people.

From the first floor of the Alexandria Lighthouse, Alexandria, the city of scholars, is at the end of the breakwater:
"Welcome to Alexander's Night. The breathing mask can be removed. Visitors who want to eat ice cream, please follow me here. But get these first, this is a drachma, take 20 for each person first, and then ask me if you don't have enough." .You must pay for what you eat at night.”
