"Hello, hello, are you there?"
"Hello?" In the room, Ragnarok's alchemist listened to the empty voice echoed from the other end of the communication crystal. He couldn't help but look at his colleagues with an ugly look on his face, and shook his head slightly: "We can't contact you. Maybe it's because of that bad luck.
Something happened to the egg, and of course it could be that all the people in the Shadow Throne were wiped out."
"Something happened to the people from the Shadow Throne and our Clockwork Goblin. It's probably more serious than bad." One person frowned and replied: "There is a contact blind spot of about ten minutes in the resurrection. Could it be that during this time we can only wait..."
"And Flame, where's your clockwork goblin?"
A young man scratched his head and turned around and said: "If you want to slip under the nose of the big boss of the Alchemist Alliance, you have to give it some time, boss? And the other party's attack was so clean and neat, it was probably someone from the Alchemist Alliance who did it.
Should we be more careful?"
There was a moment of silence.
Only then did someone say, "Don't you have the contact information of other people in the Throne of Shadows?"
Everyone looked at each other. The Shadow Throne was just a little-known small guild before the establishment of the New Southern Alliance. The other party assigned some liaisons to them, but how could they hang out with these people on weekdays.
After a while, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "...Everyone, I know some people from the Throne of Shadows. I wonder if you can use it..." The owner of the voice knocked on the door outside.
I asked tentatively.
The alchemists of Ragnarok were stunned for a moment before they remembered that there was a secret sentry from the guild outside the door, sent by the higher authorities to protect the safety of people like them who were "powerless". Everyone looked at each other before someone walked over and opened the door.
There was a young magician standing outside the door. Since a guild like Ragnarok has many branches and a huge system, it is understandable that the members in the guild do not know each other. The magician and the alchemists came from different branches.
Guild, glanced at everyone, and introduced himself first: "My name is Silver Stone..."
He replied: "Our team just happened to get to know some people from the Throne of Shadows before. You guys, maybe they can come in handy."
The alchemists looked at each other.
Then he nodded.
…
At the intersection of the three-way street where the cold wind blew, Ainan looked at the musketeer walking out from behind Xue Chen with some surprise. He was suddenly startled, looked at the other person with disbelief, and opened his mouth subconsciously.
Sylvide threw the musket away from her hand and smiled slightly: "Long time no see, Enan."
"You, you are..." The confusion in Enan's eyes turned to clarity, and he immediately reacted: "Wait, you are from the Albert family...the daughter of Sir Mawei...Miss Sylvide?"
Sylvide smiled and said: "Yes, but you and Fios have forgotten me."
Enan was a little embarrassed: "After all, it was ten years ago. I only vaguely remember some situations when Sir Ma Wei brought you to my house as a guest; in fact, I just felt vaguely familiar. By the way, Fios
she……"
When he mentioned Fios, he stopped talking and couldn't help but look a little sad for a moment.
The ship officer lady looked at Fang Plover on the side. Then Ainan looked at the young alchemist, with a doubtful light in her eyes, and asked: "Are you and him together?"
Sylvide nodded.
She walked over and raised her hand to gently sweep the snow dust off Fang Plover's shoulders. The latter looked a little at a loss for a moment, but the ship officer lady held his collar and smoothed it carefully for him. Then she
Then he turned around and introduced with a smile in his eyes: "This is my captain, the Seven Seas Traveler. You must have heard about my father, right?"
Enan looked between the two of them a little doubtfully.
But Sylvide's words surprised him even more, and he couldn't help but ask: "Is that rumor true? Are you really planning to recreate the Seven Seas Traveler?" Naturally, he had heard about the Seven Seas Traveler, Xilin-
Spica has a close relationship with the Phoenix clan, not to mention that he is also currently from the Rose Workshop.
Sylvide nodded: "Let's plan it bit by bit. I just have a clue at the moment. I plan to get the Fairy Heart back. This trip south is actually just a way."
She looked at Fang Plover and smiled: "Ed also agreed to help me. In a sense, he is my fiancé."
"in a sense?"
Fang Yu couldn't help but blush.
That's because he still can't accept such rapid progress in the relationship.
Although he had already accepted Miss Ship Officer in his heart, he was somewhat vague about it. The traditional aristocratic style of Sylvide in this world made him a little bit overwhelmed. The big cat man secretly laughed at him for being pretentious, but this was probably true.
It can be regarded as the reserve reserved only for teenagers.
As for the ship officer lady, she is always smiling.
Explosions and flames came from far away from the square.
Fang Yu glanced in that direction, and then replied angrily: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, shall we leave Du Lun first?"
Sylvide and Enan looked at each other, and both could see that he was changing the subject, but both of them were smart people and wisely did not expose it. Enan only nodded. Fang Plover's proposal was actually his.
mean.
The three of them cast one last glance towards the square, then turned and walked into a nearby alley.
It's just that Fang Plover let the clockwork fairy move forward early, but he neglected to see behind him, in a dark alley, a young man was running out of breath.
The latter was dressed as a trainee alchemist, with a emblem of the Throne of Shadows pinned to his chest. He hid in the dark and looked out, just in time to see the Orphen Twins' huge bodies turning into a faint blue bit by bit.
The whole process of nothingness, informatization and inclusion in black crystal
He watched Fang Yu and the other three leave, his eyes flashing with disbelief, but immediately turned into a hint of ecstasy. The young man took out the communication crystal, but hesitated and did not switch to Ragnarok's channel. He thought for a moment
, changed to a private channel and spoke eagerly:
"Go and inform the Archon that I have found those people!"
A confused voice came from the other side of the channel: "Who are you?"
"It's me," the young man quickly replied, "I fought against the gangsters who kidnapped Delis in Ash Mountain Forest before, and I reported it to you. Have you forgotten? I found those people, and they are still in Dulon!"
The voice was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became serious: "Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course, I saw it with my own eyes." The young man took a breath and said quickly.
"Wait a moment."
A series of messages are conveyed on the battlefield.
In a corner of the square, the consul who had made a truce was looking at the duke not far away with a gloomy expression. Although the knights and guards around them were still at war with each other, everyone knew in their hearts that this battle could not be fought.
What's left is just the battle between the men in gray and the city guards, and the Southern Alliance.
The archbishop of Ori looked at the two people helplessly, sighed and shook his head. Ori's duties were light, justice and order. To a certain extent, the temple was actually biased towards the royal family.
But he is a good old man.
At this time, an adjutant ran over from a short distance away and whispered something into the consul's ear.
In full view of everyone, the consul suddenly stood up and asked: "What you said is true." The adjutant replied in a low voice: "It is absolutely true. The person who chooses you should not lie, my lord."
The consul nodded, looked at everyone sternly, and walked away.
And on the battlefield.
In the smoke and dust, Odin had lost sight of his opponent.
However, he only looked around calmly, knowing that the other party would not go too far. He couldn't help but think of a match between the two in the Super League more than a year ago, and that battle was much more intense than this one.
Already.
The warrior king was slowly expanding his dragon knight's perception field and moving his hand to the hilt of the sword little by little. But suddenly, he stopped and took back his hand and took out the communication crystal from his arms.
The communication crystal flashed with dark red light.
And as soon as he stopped, the King of the Night was also very keen. After the smoke in one direction, the other party's voice suddenly came: "What's wrong?"
Odin shook his head: "Something happened at the headquarters."
Ye Hua smiled softly: "Isn't it true that the top leaders of the alliance were attacked and assassinated by someone?"
"You are still here, who else can?" Odin did not answer directly, he only said this.
The moment he picked up the communication crystal, the warrior king had completely recovered his perception field, but Ye Hua had no intention of pursuing him at all.
The conversation between the two was less like rivals and more like old friends. However, most of the top selectors in Aitalia and the Second World knew each other, which was not surprising.
When Ye Hua heard this, he knew that the other party had a confidentiality agreement, so he did not ask further questions and just said: "So?"
"That's it," Odin replied: "You have no intention of fighting me anyway."
"The same goes for you."
"Whatever." Odin didn't care too much about the verbal dispute.
And Ye Hua also wanted to escape, to see if his new friend had brought the Duke's young son out of danger, so he nodded: "Okay, let's save this battle for the Super League.
beat"
The smoke dispersed, and Ye Hua was revealed from behind.
But Odin glanced at him and shook his head: "I'm afraid the Super Competitive Alliance won't let you participate."
The latter didn't take it seriously and just shrugged.
Neither of them were pushovers. After reaching an agreement, they left separately. Odin turned back to find Phios who was waiting aside. The maid lady had been a little uneasy waiting for a long time, but when she saw that he came back unharmed, she was slightly moved.
Breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Odin, have you seen Master Enan?" she couldn't help but ask.
Odin shook his head and only replied: "He may have escaped."
Fios then patted her chest, looking relieved.
…
Fang Plover was leading Sylvide and Enan in a hurry through the southern part of Duron.
Among the three, although Ainan is a local, he rarely leaves the Duke's mansion on weekdays. When he does go out, he goes to his villa in the countryside. There are carriages accompanying him all the way. It can be said that he never leaves home. And Sylvide
The memory of this city dates back ten years and is even more unreliable.
Therefore, among the three of them, only Fang Plover could distinguish some routes through the Clockwork Fairy. But under the vast night, with low winter clouds and snowflakes, the Clockwork Fairy could only see a dark city with occasional two or three lights.
fire.
Originally, when the celebration just started, Dulon might still be brightly lit, but with the turmoil, who would dare to light the lights at this time? The few lights in the darkness must also be the city guard barracks, or the station of patrolling cavalry.
These places.
Instead of being able to lead the way for them, it can only lead them into a trap.
However, through the reflection of the ice of a river in the south, Fang Plover could vaguely discern the direction in which they were leaving the square, heading towards Nancheng District. Therefore, he made a prompt decision to break out from the south gate and leave Dullon.
Neither Miss Ship Officer nor Ainan had any objections and just followed his arrangements. The three of them walked through several blocks in a row under the vast darkness. With the clockwork goblin opening the way, the process went very smoothly without any obstacles along the way.
The city guards set up some checkpoints at several street intersections, but they were all ineffective. On the other hand, the patrolling cavalry that Fang Lu was originally worried about seemed to be a bit slow in movement and has not been mobilized until now, which gave them great convenience.
.
Just when he was walking through an alley on a routine basis, Fang Plover led the way for a few steps before suddenly stopping in the darkness. The two people behind him naturally stopped as well. Enan looked at him and asked
One sentence: "What's the matter, Mr. Captain?"
Fang Yu shook his head slightly, feeling a little confused. A moment ago, he felt that he had lost control of a clockwork fairy. However, it was difficult for him to tell for a moment whether it was because he accidentally exceeded the distance or because of something else.
reason.
Because there is more than one clockwork fairy in the sky, and the flexible structure cannot independently maintain the connection with the operator. Within a generally circular range, it is entirely possible to accidentally lose one or two clockwork fairies.
things.
Especially when the controller himself is still moving.
But the overall position of the missing clockwork goblin was behind the three of them. This direction always made him feel a little uneasy.
He told Sylvide and Enan what he was thinking, and the latter listened to his words, thought for a while and replied: "Maybe we have to move in a different direction."
"Change the direction?"
"There is a sluice near the south gate. In winter, the water freezes and the gate never closes. I heard that some smugglers often use it to enter and exit the city at night." Ainan thought for a moment before making his suggestion.
Fang Yu was a little surprised: "How do you know?"
"The City Guards have reported this matter to my father several times, but no one has ever repaired it," Ainan replied: "After the spring of last year, this matter was shelved until I reported it last month.
See related reports"
"you sure?"
"Unless they've finished repairing it this month."
Fang Yu thought for a while and felt that it was impossible. It was delayed from last year to this year, and it was not repaired. In the previous month, there was an undercurrent in Du Lun, and the Mordekaiser family was under the supervision of the consul, so they had to give up part of their control.
Control of the City Guards.
Under such circumstances, would anyone care about such a trivial matter?
However, he looked back at the direction in which his Clockwork Fairy had disappeared, and felt a little unsure for a moment. Before the city guards could mobilize, heading to the south gate to break out of the encirclement seemed to be a wise choice.
But the plan to go to the sluice sounds like it would be easier to get rid of the pursuers. Will it be a waste of time if we just change the route? And what is the situation on the other side of the sluice in the end is hard to say.
He couldn't help but ask his ship officer: "Silverde, what do you think?"
Sylvester's eyes were bright and she tilted her head slightly: "The captain has the final say."
Okay, so I didn’t ask.
And the end of the direction where Fang Plover's eyes can reach
A few blocks away, a sphere split in two was falling and rolling into the snow and dust, while a leather boot with a metal guard was stepping into the snow on the side.
, the owner of the boots bent down and picked up half of the sphere.
Hold it in your hand.
Odin sheathed his sword, picked up the half of the construct, and examined it carefully. Then he raised his head and looked at the dark sky.
Behind him, the consul was coming with a group of knights and city guards. The latter was riding a horse. Seeing the construct in his hand, he was a little confused: "The clockwork goblin is from the Alchemist Alliance?"
Odin nodded, there was a possibility, but he was the president of a guild after all, so he was well-informed, so he naturally saw that the internal structure of the clockwork goblin in his hand had some strange components. These unnecessary components
, which increases the structural weight of the flexible structure, which seems somewhat unnecessary for clockwork fairies who pursue speed.
However, combat craftsmen will more or less modify their own flexible structures, which doesn't mean much.
He threw away the construct, then turned around and asked, "Do you know the direction of the other party?"
The previous report came from below, saying that a week or two ago, someone in the Ash Mountain Forest group killed a new member of their ragnarok group, and that new member group was still an elite reserve. As the leader of the group, Odin naturally knew about this.
Moreover, the little princess of Silver Veslan seemed to have appeared in that battle, which also attracted his attention. He wanted to see who the other party was.
At least this matter made him more interested than participating in those unnecessary battles in Dulon City.
Therefore, when he received the news before, he would directly choose to leave.
After listening to his question, the consul shook his head: "The witness was as timid as a mouse. He was worried about being discovered by those people. He kept hanging far behind and couldn't figure out where the other party went. At the moment, from what we roughly know
Judging from the information, the other party should have gone to the south gate."
Odin didn't take it seriously after hearing this: "The opponent is a combat craftsman. It is the right choice not to pursue him." He looked at the structure that was split in two on the ground and replied: "Judging from this clockwork goblin,
If he had followed, he would have been noticed by the other party."
"That is really wise," the Archon sneered: "What are your plans, Mr. Odin."
He probably also knows that when it comes to dealing with the people of the Alchemist Alliance, the current Holy Chosen One is more reliable than the City Guards.
Odin thought for a moment and replied: "Since the other party is going to the south gate, Mr. Archon can first lead people to outflank the opponent from several directions to block the opponent's retreat direction. I will take the first step to see if I can go around.
Get in front of those people."
"Then please." The consul thought for a moment and nodded in approval.
So Odin didn't stay long, just nodded and turned around to leave. After all, for him, and even for Ragnarok, this was nothing more than a mission.
