Chapter 990: Wings of the Sunchaser
"I have to say, you have a pair of divine eyes!" The old man stroked his beard and nodded in admiration, "This pair of 'Sunchaser Wings' is indeed the most precious treasure here!" ”
"Sunstrider's Wings?" Huang Yi repeated the name.
"Yes! The Sunstrider's Wings, also known as the 'Wings of Icarus', were created by the last epic hero of our Feathered Race, the Sunstrider Icarus! The old man said, his old eyes staring at the pair of wings hanging on the wall, and said quietly: "Before the ancestors of our branch came here to live in seclusion, a total of eight epic heroes were born in the history of the Feather Human Race. The last one is Icarus, the Sunstrider! His name means "light of the setting sun" in the ancient language of the Feathered Clan, and this name is like the fate of the Feathered Clan. He appeared during the most tragic and gloomy era of the Feathered Humans, that is, during the period of the Oscan Empire. At that time, we Feather Humans basically only had some slaves whose wings were cut off, and the offspring born to these slaves had serious defects, the wings were incomplete, and after a generation, the Feather Humans lost the ability to fly. Just as our people were about to say goodbye to the sky, Icarus, the Sunstrider, was born! ”
When the old man said this, there was a slight gleam in his eyes: "Icarus is a member of our 'Sun-Chasing Clan', and after he was born, like all the clansmen at that time, he did not have complete wings and could not fly. But he was not willing to sink here, he longed to be like his ancestors, soaring in the vast sky, chasing the warm sun. When he was young, he was determined to revitalize the entire Feather People and lead them back to the sky. For this. He went on to learn all kinds of things, alchemy, blacksmithing, engineering, architecture, and so on...... Subsequently, he began a lengthy study. Do everything you can to make every Feather Race fly. He tried alchemy and medicine to refine a permanent flying potion, but ultimately failed; He had tried runes and magic, and it was indeed able to make people barely fly, but the speed and altitude of the flight never met his expectations. After all the experiments, he finally set his sights on engineering, and he wanted to create an artificial wing! ”
The old man said. Pacing, he slowly walked to the pair of wings on the wall, and continued, "Icarus after some careful design. Finally, the first pair of wings was created. The pair of wings did make him fly, but only a short distance, the wooden skeleton of the wings could not withstand the wind and broke, and he fell from mid-air. Broke a leg. Icarus had no choice but to continue to improve the design. He first improved the structure of the skeleton many times, changed the materials of the skeleton countless times, and carried out test flights again and again, and almost fell to his death several times. After many failures and improvements, he finally made a new alloy that was both super hard and very lightweight, and the wing skeleton made from it met Icarus's needs, and his dream for many years finally came true! “
The old man said. He smiled slightly: "Icarus quickly made a batch of these wings and distributed them to the other Feathered Clans. That time. The Feathered Race did fly again, and after many years of saying goodbye to the sky, it finally flew again, and the whole clan celebrated with joy, and regarded Icarus as the hero of the whole race, and wrote it into the epic of our race. Since he is a member of my 'Sun-Chaser Clan', people affectionately call him 'Sun-Chaser'. ”
"Why haven't these wings become popular?" Huang Yi asked suspiciously, "It stands to reason that if this artificial wing is really so powerful, it should leave a strong mark in the history of the world, but I have never heard of it." ”
"Because these wings are still defective!" The old man did not shy away from saying, "The kind of alloy created by Icarus is too expensive, and the raw metal is extremely rare, and with the resources of the Feather Human Race at that time, there is no way to manufacture it in large quantities. In addition, the feathers attached to the wings are easily damaged, and every time you fly, you have to re-attach new feathers, and the time to stick a feather is longer than the time to fly once, which is very troublesome. Over time, the Feathered Humans lost interest in this artificial wing, and it was still not perfect enough for the Feathered Humans to truly return to the sky, let alone chase the sun. ”
When the old man said this, he shook his head slightly, and expressed his opinion: "Actually, in my opinion, the biggest problem of the Feather Human Race is not that it has no wings, but that the entire race has declined too badly, and even if it can fly again, it is no longer an opponent of other races." A mere artificial wing can't stop the historical trend of the decline of the Feathered Human Race. Moreover, this kind of wings will attract the peeps and snatches of other races, causing death. ”
The old man sighed and continued, "But Icarus was not willing to end up like this, and he vowed to chase the sun around the world in his lifetime, like his ancestor Johns! In order to solve the problem of feathers with artificial wings, he did not hesitate to use a treasure treasured by the Feathered Clan-more than 8,000 pieces of Johns's Feathers! ”
"Johns' Feather? More than 8,000 pieces? Huang Yi was shocked!
Johns's Feather, this is the most famous treasure in the second world!
Although Johns was a god back then, the feathers on his body fell off, and a total of 100,000 pieces floated all over the world! There are very few that have survived to the present day!
As long as the Priest class can obtain a piece of Johns's Feather and attach it to their equipment, their healing ability can be greatly increased.
A Priest player, as long as he can get that piece of Johns's Feather, can become a Priest Master.
And Icarus actually got more than 8,000 pieces! This amount simply scares people to death!
"Yes! More than 8,000 pieces! The old man nodded, stretched out his withered palm, gently rubbed the pair of wings on the wall, and his fingers swiped over the dense golden feathers on it, "Of the 100,000 feathers left by Johns back then, one-tenth was collected by our Feather Human Race, that is, about 10,000 pieces, and after it was passed down to the time of Icarus, there were still more than 8,000 pieces left. Icarus attached all of the more than 8,000 pieces of Johns' feathers to his own pair of artificial wings! After replacing this batch of powerful feathers, the pair of artificial wings suddenly burst into the sky and shone brightly, far surpassing any previous pair of artificial wings, and the power was unmatched! After Icarus put on these wings, there was a faint sense of Johns reappearing! ”
"That's a pair of divine wings!" The old man's tone became excited, "When Icarus had these wings, he was overjoyed, and immediately loaded them behind him, flew into the sky, and began to try to chase the sun like his ancestors!" It was always an epic day, and countless races in the world were shocked to find a figure in the sky under the sun! After countless years, there is actually another Feather Race chasing the sun! Countless people are looking up on the earth, and it seems that the whole world is watching Icarus's day-to-day journey. That was the last time in the history of my feather human race to chase the sun! However, this also attracted some enemies of the Feathered Clan, and many masters successively went to the sky to intercept Icarus. ”
The old man paused, and continued: "The people of my 'Chasing the Sun Clan' chasing the sun are not idle, but a practical physiological need, because in our blood, we are born with the talent to absorb sunlight, and in the process of chasing the sun, we can strengthen ourselves the fastest. Johns's strength has grown by leaps and bounds as he progresses, and the pair of god-like wings behind him have greatly increased his strength. In front of people all over the world, he killed a number of masters who came to stop him in a row, and almost the entire sky was dyed bloody. Icarus used this massacre to reproduce the glory of the Feathered Race dominating the sky back then! ”
"But that's just the last glory!" The old man sighed slightly, "After killing many masters in a row, Icarus couldn't help but be proud and flew higher, wanting to absorb the sunlight faster and improve his strength. However, the feathers on his wings were sealed together with wax, and because he flew too high, the wax was eventually melted by the scorching sun, and many of the feathers fell off, and the pair of godlike wings quickly began to break! The enemy seized the opportunity to lay siege to him. Icarus fought hard to kill all the enemies who besieged him, but he was mortally wounded himself. The wings were finally completely damaged, and they couldn't keep him flying. Eventually, dying, he fell into an ocean and drowned. The great Icarus, like the return of the Feathered Race before its death, brought hope to our race, but it quickly fell. Ironically, he was not defeated by the enemy, but precisely by the sun in which he believed! “
The old man shook his head and said with emotion: "Later, after a lot of hard work, the Feather Clan finally found Icarus's body and buried him. And the pair of damaged wings, only more than 5,000 pieces of Johns's feathers that have lost their brilliance remain, and there is no power, and the other feathers have fallen off and floated away! From then on, no one of the Feathered Humans could repair the pair of wings, and later, it was taken away by our ancestors and finally hid in this isolated place. ”
"Is this the pair of wings back then?" Huang Yi couldn't help sighing, and reached out to rub his wings on the wall. I didn't expect this pair of wings hidden in the dark cellar to have such a singing and crying epic.
"Yes! The wings have been broken, and the remaining Johns feathers on them no longer have any power, but as long as you can fix it, it is definitely a god-like wing! (To be continued.) )
