Climbing up in the dark and gloomy environment, Fang Plover shook his sore hands and looked up. He was in a circular, narrow space. The top of the ladder seemed to lead to a well.
There seemed to be a faint light shining through the top of his head. He touched the four walls with his hands. There were traces of brickwork on the bare wall, which indicated that he might have been close to the wellhead.
He took a breath and was about to continue climbing up, but at this moment, two low voices talking from above came in.
When Fang Yu heard the sound, he immediately stopped alertly, clung to the ladder and pricked up his ears, and quickly heard clearly the content of the conversation between the two voices above.
"Did you hear that the rag-picker took away the Blade of False Victory? The eldest sister was so angry that she wanted to kill someone." The first voice was mature and steady, and there was a sound of metal collision due to body movements when speaking.
When Fang Yu heard the words 'eldest sister', his heart moved. At the same time, based on that person's voice, he also sketched in his mind the appearance of a selector character in his thirties, wearing chain armor and a melee combat oriented.
"Is there still such a thing?" The second voice was much younger, and he couldn't tell what his profession was, but he could roughly rule out the possibility of a heavy armor profession.
"Isn't it? Another group of people came in outside, but no one expected that fool to be among those people. It seems that the people in Tapolis wanted to prevent our people from succeeding, and they accidentally let the guy take advantage of it.
Into the."
"Then what?" the second voice asked again.
"Then? God knows," Fang Yu could almost imagine the owner of the first voice shrugging. "No one knows where that fool has gone now. Dollifen is so big, can you find him?"
The second voice paused for a moment, then asked curiously: "Speaking of which, what is going on with that guy?"
"You mean that guy who picks up rags? I don't know. I just know that he claims to be a combat craftsman. But my friend told me that he made it up. He is not recognized by the big guild at all. Moreover, his hands and feet are not clean and he has been raped by several teams.
Kicked."
"This man is really weird..."
"Is this considered weird? There are even weirder things you don't know! That guy is very lonely. He lives with his cat in an abandoned factory near El Paxin. Because no team likes him, he keeps picking up things.
This is how garbage makes a living."
"Haha, I've heard of this too, it's so disgusting."
"Okay, keep your voice down, don't let others hear it, especially the eldest sister." The owner of the first voice paused for a moment, probably looking around: "She is angry, don't be used as a punching bag, we
You are not a core member, so be careful of getting into trouble."
"The reason why the eldest sister is angry is actually not all because of this matter... Have you seen it before? The lady carrying the suitcase is so beautiful, and the elf girl, with that figure... Tsk tsk, how did they offend the eldest sister?
"
When Fang Yu heard this, he was slightly startled.
'The lady with the suitcase' is clearly referring to Sylvide, and she is the only one with such conspicuous features, and the elf girl must be Attila. So who are these people? Listen to their tone
, they seem to be related to the eldest sister, but how come these people appeared in Dolifen at this time, and they seem to have happened to meet Attila and the others.
This is too much of a coincidence.
He was having some doubts in his heart, and at this moment, the voices above suddenly stopped. The first voice seemed a little alert: "Shh, I seem to hear something."
Fang Yu was startled and quickly held his breath. Then he heard footsteps coming from above, followed by a cat meowing.
"Damn it, it turns out to be a cat." The owner of the first voice seemed startled and cursed loudly.
The owner of the second voice followed and asked, "Why are there cats in this place?"
"Anything is possible in this damn place."
"After the mission here is over, I must find a place to relax. It's really bad luck to stay in this damn place for a long time."
The two of them seemed to patrol the top for a while before walking back, leaning against the well and chatting away. The topic undoubtedly shifted to women. Fang Yu listened for a while, feeling bored, and then grabbed the ladder.
Climb up slowly.
When he approached the mouth of the well, he raised the palm of his right hand and let go of the clockwork fairy in his hand.
The brass sphere, which was no more than the size of a tennis ball, vibrated its wings, rose slightly, and flew out of the well with a buzz. The sound it made obviously attracted the attention of the two people outside. They were startled and shouted in unison.
:
"what!"
But the clockwork goblin drew an arc and flew between the two of them. The two didn't see clearly what happened, but the creature would instinctively avoid facing the enemy from behind, so it subconsciously turned around.
Fang Yu took advantage of this opportunity to climb up to the mouth of the well and jumped down. The young man in the robe behind him reacted faster and was about to turn around when Fang Yu hit him with a right hook with all his strength without saying a word.
on his face.
Although he was not a combat-oriented character, neither was that person. The system prompted him that the heavy attack took effect. The opponent was hit by the punch and fell on his back.
The older warrior selector not far away seemed to have just reacted. He turned around and pulled out his long sword with a clang.
Fang Yu, with quick hands and quick eyes, pounced forward, pulled out the dagger from the young man's boot, grabbed the young man's long hair with his left hand and pulled him back, pulled him up from the ground, and stabbed his neck hard with the dagger in his right hand.
Press up.
The young man had a bloody nose and was wailing, but he felt a stinging pain on his neck and immediately froze in fear.
Then Fang Plover's thoughts moved, and the clockwork fairy in mid-air tilted slightly, flew back and hovered near him. When the soldier saw this scene, his expression condensed slightly, and he looked at his companion who had runny noses and tears.
, frowned and said: "Combat craftsman? Who are you?"
Fang Yu didn't dare to say anything. He only had a few clockwork goblins in his hands now, and his combat power alone was no match for these two people. He understood that the only thing he could rely on now was the shock power of the surprise attack, and the combat craftsman was the only one who could rely on him.
identity.
Therefore, without saying a word, he just scratched the guy's neck with his dagger, and a bloodstain appeared there, making the latter scream in fear.
As expected, the soldier was frightened by him. He lowered the sword in his hand slightly and looked at him with shock and anger: "You, what do you want to do?"
Fang Yu then raised his head and looked at the other party and said, "You made a mistake. Now it's my question and your answer. Where are the ladies you mentioned before?"
"Are you with them?"
After Fang Yu heard this answer, a silver light flashed from his hand, and the young man's bloody ear flew out. Since it was his first time to do this kind of work, he shook his hand and struck the other person's face.
Leaving a long gash, looking at the other person's face covered in blood and wailing like a slaughtered pig, he couldn't help but secretly screamed guilt.
But the soldier obviously didn't notice this detail and only took a breath of air. He had never seen a combat craftsman before, but this was the first time he had done something so ruthless.
The hostage under his command was struggling so hard that Fang Yu almost didn't catch him for a moment. He quickly put his knee on the guy's spine to calm him down. He was sweating coldly thinking about something as high-end as kidnapping a hostage. He must never do it by himself in the future.
Completed it myself.
Then he deliberately used an indifferent tone and said to the soldier: "I said, now I ask you to answer. Of course, you can also leave him and run away. See if I can catch up with you?"
As he spoke, he let the clockwork fairy fly around him.
The soldier couldn't help but change his expression when he saw this scene. He had already preconceived the idea that Fang Pliance was an extremely powerful combat craftsman. How could a less powerful combat craftsman be of such a level in close combat? He could beat his companion with one blow.
He couldn't take care of himself. Although his companion was a magician, he couldn't be subdued so easily even if he was just a chicken.
He really wanted to run away, but the other person seemed to be right. Wouldn't it be funny to run away in front of a powerful combat craftsman?
The soldier's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He couldn't help but be in a dilemma for a moment.
Seeing his hesitation, Fang Yu understood that his psychological offensive was effective. He was secretly happy and threatened further: "Very good. Do you want to threaten me with that scrap of metal?"
The frightened soldier quickly dropped his sword to the ground with a clang.
Fang Fang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had listened to the conversation between the two people before and heard that they were not the core members of Sister Sister. He expected that the other party was just a 'temporary worker' doing odd jobs on the periphery. These people were both weak in terms of fighting ability and fighting will.
It won't be too strong, so it will take the initiative to attack in a sneak attack to gain the upper hand.
Sure enough, it succeeded in one fell swoop
He paused for a moment and then asked his previous question again: "Where are the ladies you mentioned before?"
But what Fang Yu expected was that before the soldier could speak, the young man under his hand had already started wailing: "They are in the city hall."
Fang Yu looked at the soldier cautiously, and saw that the latter nodded to him after being silent for a moment.
"Isn't this the inside of the city hall?" Fang Pliong asked again.
"It counts here, but the ladies you mentioned are still further inside. If you cross the courtyard in the direction of the governor's office behind the woods, you can see the building." The soldier saw his companions.
He opened his mouth first, then relieved his psychological burden and spoke.
Fang Yu thought for a moment, tightened the dagger in his hand and asked, "Are you from the eldest sister?"
"Do you know the eldest sister?"
Fang Yu slashed the dagger in his hand, and the young man cried again: "Don't kill me, we are just peripheral members, just minions. Whatever grudge the guild has against you has nothing to do with us!"
Fang Yu heard it a little funny, but he could also understand this idea. Generally, the peripheral members of a large guild are recruited from ordinary selectors and aboriginal adventurers. The relationship between the two is only that of temporary recruitment.
The mercenaries are just slightly better.
The soldier also quickly added: "Sir, the eldest sister and the others are all inside. Your companions should be trapped in the innermost part of the city hall. This has nothing to do with us."
Hearing this, Fang Yu was noncommittal, patted the young man's neck with his dagger, and asked: "Then what exactly is going on? I want to hear the cause and effect."
"We don't know either, sir." The soldier replied a little helplessly: "As you can see, we are just minions. It seems that your companions broke into this place. They seem to have an old grudge with the eldest sister, so
…”
How Aitila and the others became enemies with the eldest sister, Fang Lu naturally knew it. He nodded, and then asked: "Then who are you, what kind of guild is behind the eldest sister, and what are you doing here?"
After hearing this question, the soldier looked embarrassed and subconsciously closed his mouth.
Fang Yu stabbed the man under his command with a dagger and said, "You tell me."
But what surprised him was that the young man seemed to be very taboo about this topic. Although he was trembling with fear, he also remained silent.
After a while, he tremblingly replied: "Sir, please let us go. If we don't answer your question, we will die here at most. But if we answer you, the guild will hunt down us, Xinghui."
Cleared."
"Then what guild are you?"
The warrior and the young man looked at each other, and the latter whispered: "Our name is the Dragon Fire Guild."
"Dragon Fire Guild?"
Fang Yu thought about it carefully and couldn't help but shake his head. He had never heard the name of this guild before, and it was unlikely that it was a big guild. But this was strange. Listening to the previous chat between the two, they
Seems to be involved with the Oak Knights of Tapolis.
Although the latter cannot be said to be a first-line guild in Aitaria, it is still a member of the big guild club.
It's really interesting that such a little-known little guild dares to challenge a behemoth of this level head-on.
But now he had no intention of getting to the bottom of it. He was more worried about the safety of Etila and others, and he was not in the mood to waste time here. He grabbed the young man's head and banged it on the ground, knocking him out neither hard nor lightly.
past.
Then he clapped his hands and stood up, looking at the soldier not far away. The soldier was indeed frightened and stood there without daring to move.
Fang Yu pointed at the clockwork goblin in mid-air and replied: "I will confirm your words. Before that, I will let it stay here to monitor you. You know the capabilities of the combat craftsmen. Don't take any chances.
And don’t try to notify anyone else.”
After that, he lifted up his right hand and made the second clockwork goblin fly up. When the warrior saw the scene of dual control, even if he had some thoughts in his mind, he quickly put away those small thoughts and nodded honestly.
nodded.
Fang Yu then picked up the dagger and took a few steps back, stared at the soldier, and then disappeared behind a bush not far away.
Dolifen's city hall occupies a large area. As the soldier said, the area around the ancient well is a large dense forest. It is almost impossible to tell the direction in the darkness. Fang Plover followed the trace by the light of the distant lower city.
Following the soldier's description, I moved little by little towards the direction in my memory.
However, he did not completely relax his vigilance and sent two clockwork goblins ahead to investigate.
He was originally worried that the two guys were not telling the truth, but it seemed to be unnecessary. He soon found traces of the battle in the forest ahead. There were fallen trees, broken trees, blood stains, broken sword blades and arrows everywhere.
, there were even three corpses whose starlight had disappeared.
One of them seemed to be a Dragon Worshiper. Fang Plover turned the corpse over. Except for the unusually familiar brooch, the corpse looked just like an ordinary person. The fatal wound on the corpse was on the neck, where a knife was inserted.
A feathered arrow went straight into the tail.
Fang Plover touched the feathered arrow and immediately imagined the figure of the Nighthawk of the Oak Knights of Tapos in his mind.
Moving forward, the traces of the battle became more and more conspicuous. There were corpses everywhere, and most of them were turning into dots of light and disappearing. This was a sign that the starlight was reconstructed and headed for the temple to be resurrected. In Aitali
The time for Ya's rebirth is very short, which shows that the battle here did not end long.
Fang Yu raised his head and looked forward, and couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect that not long after he left the team, so many things happened here. People from the eldest sister, people from the Tapolis Knights, Dragon Worshipers, and Ai
Tiela and the others seemed to have gathered here, and I don’t know if it was just a coincidence or something else.
He suddenly saw a lost magic book on the ground, and hurriedly walked over to pick it up. He immediately recognized that it was Jita's model magic book. The book was made of heavy red pine wood, with a
A few feather arrows were also inserted.
Fang Pliance couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw this. If it weren't for an emergency, Jita would never have left this magic book behind. He knew the little girl's temperament very well.
He picked up the magic book and continued to walk along the forest, his pace quickening, but before he had taken a few steps, he vaguely heard the sound of metal clashing in front of him. There was an open space in front of him, and Fang Plover did not dare to
Easily exposing his clockwork fairy, he could only cautiously touch the edge of the bush.
But as soon as he approached the bushes, he heard the bushes in front of him parting with a "swish" sound, and a girl ran out of there in a panic, and bumped right into him.
"ah!"
"Ouch!"
They both fell to the ground at the same time.
Fang Yu didn't have time to feel the feeling of nephrite in his arms. He raised his head and shouted out in surprise: "Miss Hongye?"
"Char... no, Ed, why are you here?"
"What are you doing, Brother Ed?" At this time, several voices came out from behind. Fang Plover raised his head and saw Jita, Tianlan and others walking away from behind the bushes one by one.
come out.
Everyone stared dumbly at the two people lying on the ground, hugging each other.
