When Shesta ended the fight with an elbow, knocking the last Dragon Cultist to the ground, the brief exchange in the forest came to an end.
The four Dragon Worshipers were not of a high level, and the maid lady took care of two of them. Parker shot and killed one who tried to escape, and Fang Plover and Hongye worked together to subdue the remaining one.
Fang Plover pulled aside the Dragon Cultist who was beaten half to death by Hongye and asked a few simple questions, probably some information related to the obelisk in Traveler's Swamp, but he didn't gain much.
These people are all fanatical believers with stubborn minds. Apart from giving them vicious curses, they can hardly get any useful information out of them.
Fang Yu could only frown and watch the man die.
Only then did Sylvester walk up to him and said, "Don't be discouraged, it's not like you've found nothing." She squatted down by her skirt, turned over the man's body, and flipped through each pocket in turn with her hands and feet.
But apart from a few meaningless letters, there was nothing useful.
The body and the letter quickly turned into specks of light, leaving only some belongings in place.
The noble girl also looked down upon these things. She picked up the few silver coins and copper plates with her slender fingers and threw them to Fang Plover. Fang Plover did not reject anyone who came and hurriedly collected them one by one.
The latter also asked hypocritically: "Sylwede, don't you take some of these trophies?"
Sylvester smiled and looked at this silly guy with squinted eyes.
This guy is so poor that he looks like a 'Ravenhall adventurer', which is the scornful name the people in the royal capital give to those young people from the central region of the kingdom who come from the middle of the kingdom with only a lot of energy to make a living, but she
I find such people unexpectedly cute.
Finally, Fang Yu asked: "By the way, how do you say you didn't get nothing?"
Sylvide thought for a while: "I have a general understanding of these people. They are stubborn and have rigid thinking, or they think they don't need to pretend, but in fact they will leak a lot of information unintentionally."
"A lot of information?"
"Lying is a very delicate art, especially when it comes to organizational language. The captain might as well recall the process of interrogating him. Did that person never hesitate at all from the beginning?"
"That's right, I asked him about the obelisk, and the guy didn't even blink his eyebrows. He just kept cursing me." Fang Plover joked to himself in amusement.
However, his brows quickly furrowed, and after a moment he suddenly said, "Wait a minute, are you saying they don't know about it at all?"
Sylvide smiled slightly: "Analyze it further?"
Fang Yu shook his head: "Actually, this is the norm. I didn't expect them to know anything."
He thought for a moment and then said: "...Fox should know much more than these people, but his level is too high, and the false identity left by that person in the Elpaxin Artisan Association is also higher than Hongye's level.
The real level is at least around level 20. If Parker hadn't had that poisonous dagger, I wouldn't have dared to set such a bold trap."
Sylvide shook her head slightly and said to him: "These are only superficial information. Don't let superficial things confuse your thinking direction."
"Surface?"
"I remember that the captain is very good at analysis. The previous discussion on this task was very exciting, and the same is true for people. Why don't they know? Why don't they think about it carefully?"
Fang Yu's brows knit together again: "Because they are just minions? Wait, let me think about it..." He took out the fanatic's sacrifice mark and took a closer look.
Because of the existence of this mark, there is no doubt that the death of Attila's brother is related to the Dragon Worshipers. However, these people are completely unaware of the obelisk. This does not seem to be explained by a low position.
Small characters may have limited knowledge of high-level plans and purposes, but as long as they have experienced relevant things, at least they will not be ignorant of everything.
And the other party's previous behavior was not so much deliberately concealing it, but rather showing that he was completely ignorant of the plan behind the obelisk. Could it be that these people really had nothing to do with the death of Attila's brother?
"These people are actually two groups of people from the Dragon Worshipers who might have killed Kidd?" After a while, Fang Yu finally came to his senses and asked in surprise.
Sylvide shook her head: "That's not necessarily the case. They are both Dragon Cultists and work for Nicol Bolas. It can't be totally unrelated, right?"
Fang Yu thought for a moment and then concluded: "So, these should be two unrelated plans. What exactly did the Dragon Worshipers arrange in Traveler's Swamp that requires so much layout?"
Sylvide smiled softly: "That's the answer to another question, but look, don't we get nothing?"
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then he felt that his thoughts were smooth. He had never expected that there was such a contrary way of inference. He looked at the noble girl with some amazement: "There are people in our community.
There is a very famous saying: 'When an answer is inconsistent, it often means that you have found the key to the problem.' Miss Sylvide, you are really amazing."
He really felt convinced. It was Sylvide who reminded him through Parker before that he thought of telling Fox a trick before taking action.
If it weren't for the viciousness of these people's mouths, I wouldn't be able to get any valuable information out of them.
In response to Fang Plover's compliments, Sylvide just smiled softly and winked playfully, as if she was fulfilling her responsibilities as a team member: "This is what I should do, Captain.
"
The colleague who couldn't help but feel very embarrassed by Fang Piao began to have a great impression of this reasonable aristocratic lady.
Everyone hastily tidied up the battlefield before gathering together again.
Since the threat of the Dragon's Golden Eyes was still there, Fang Plover waved his hands to several people, indicating that they should leave this place first.
This place is actually located deep in the Haggerston Cemetery. There is a layer of cold mist like a veil hanging in the forest. From far and near, you can see some tombstones hidden under the mist, as well as some of the giant Grahar spiders.
net
Residents in the Aquin area regard them as a symbol of death, but they are actually docile animals, non-venomous, feed on rodents, and will not actively attack people.
Parker tiptoed at the front, rolling his eyes as he looked at the cold stone tablets passing by in the cemeteries on both sides, and occasionally read out the epitaphs on them.
'The grave of Williams-Hannocall, the man who spoke so eloquently in the midst of a life-and-death battle that he now rests here.'
"Ah, what an unlucky man," said the Papalar.
"Keep your voice down, Parker."
Neither Aitila nor Tian Lan were there, so Fang Pultru had to wake up this unreliable little man himself.
When he thought of Miss Elf, whose life and death were unknown, he couldn't help but feel a little gloomy in his heart.
What's more, although Tianlan and Jita should have found a place to hide, no one can guarantee 100% safety here. But there is no way around it. Being with him right now is the most dangerous thing.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but press the small package on his chest.
On the other side, Sylvide took something from her maid's hand behind her, and then walked up to Fang Plover.
Fang Yu saw the noble girl and asked in a low voice: "Have you found that thing?"
Sylvide nodded and brought the thing to him. Fang Plover took the small thing and spread it out in his hand. He saw that it was actually just a one-inch brooch.
Silver shield, silver lilies, and a cold moon.
The brooch naturally showed a label in the elector system, and the name on the label was not beyond his expectation:
The mark of martyrdom for the faithful.
Fang Plover let out a long sigh: "This thing is indeed in Fox's hands."
Because according to Hongye, Hu Di entered the illusion before them, so he should have arrived at this place directly after leaving Traveler's Rest before the Tapolis Oak Knights took over the mission.
Hong Ye also described how the Knights lost the initiative on the first mission due to lack of preparation and negligence when entering the illusion.
Now that I think about it, it was actually just because someone had prepared everything inside, and that person was Hu Di.
Only he can help the Dragon Worshipers obtain the Mark of Martyrdom of the Faithful.
And after he gets the Mark of Martyrdom, who will it eventually fall into? The most likely one is undoubtedly the Dragon Worshipers who had contact with him at Traveler's Rest.
That person is naturally Fox
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Hu Di did not give the martyrdom mark of the faithful to anyone, but this possibility is not high.
Judging from the conversation between the two selectors before the Dragon Fire Guild, Hu Di had not yet broken with these people before he obtained the Blade of False Victory.
Fortunately, no matter what, at least this time he guessed it right again.
"It seems that the Dragon Worshipers don't pay much attention to this thing." At this time, Hong Ye, who had been angry and had not spoken to him, said calmly.
Fang Yu was stunned and looked back at her: "Why do you say that?"
Hong Ye replied disdainfully: "After these days of fighting, the average level of the Dragon Worshipers is much higher than that of the Dragon Fire Guild. There are a few very troublesome people among them, and their strength is not inferior to that of our captain."
.And Fox is only around level 20, and is not considered a high-ranking member of the Dragon Cult. Isn’t this brooch still in his possession the best proof?"
Fang Yu nodded after hearing this, looked at the brooch and said, "Indeed, what the Dragon Worshipers value is completing the mission, not the things themselves, which are just pieces of equipment."
"Then why do we go to such trouble to get this thing?" Parker couldn't help but feel very sad about his loss: "My dagger is so expensive. As long as I go back to the city to make up a relevant plug-in, it will be a good weapon.
Tool."
Fang Yu replied: "This thing is naturally of no use to the Dragon Worshipers, but it is different for us. Fortunately, the Dragon Worshipers don't know this. This is the benefit of information asymmetry."
"This is also our only advantage now." Sylvide added softly from the side.
Fang Plover nodded.
Then he clenched his palm and put the brooch away.
But what he was a little curious about was that judging from the reactions of Fox and Hu Di, they seemed to be very concerned about the False Victory Blade. In theory, hadn't the mission in Gray Oak Square been triggered?
But the trouble caused by Hu Di to the Dragon Worshipers is a rare good thing for them anyway. If this illusion is compared to a chess game, the situation on the side of the Knights of Tapolis is probably already bad.
It couldn't be any worse.
What made Fang Yu feel a little speechless was that he found that he had to take over the endgame and continue, and it seemed that he had to win.
Therefore, any advantage now, no matter how weak, is what he must fight for.
After putting away the brooch, Fang Yu remembered that Fox was also very unlucky. He didn't know if it was because he was killed by Parker and was infected with the curse of bad luck.
When the opponent dies, in addition to dropping quest items, some trivial items, and money, he also drops a piece of genuine equipment.
And it's not just any ordinary equipment, it's a void prism.
Fang Yu took out the thing and looked around. For a moment, he felt a somewhat incredible, even unreal feeling in his heart.
Because this thing is actually a necessary equipment for flexible construction of projection.
The space ring commonly known as the battle craftsman
Of course, it is not actually a ring, or even an accessory, but a plug-in for the magic furnace. Fox seems to be a small leader of the Dragon Worship Cult. This thing is definitely not cheap, even if he has this void in his hand.
Prisma is just the most standard kind.
The volume is one cubic meter, or no more than thirty kilograms.
What's more important is that there is actually a brand new Walker Type III flexible structure inside this Void Prism, and the production label on it has not even had time to be removed.
This means that either he just bought it, or it has been kept in it for backup and never used. Anyway, it is cheaper for him now.
Fang Yu had a hard time not laughing secretly when he looked at this thing.
The Type III Walker is the most popular model in the Walker series in the past decade, and its performance is different from the old Walker Type II.
Not to mention the ancestral model of the Pacers that he first produced. Not to mention anything else, the size of the two is not on the same level.
He still remembers that his first Walker, the Sword Plover, was no bigger than a basketball, but this fully equipped Walker Type III was nearly one meter tall and weighed 29 kilograms, with comprehensive offensive and defensive statistics.
More than 'Fortress'.
Only the dexterity may be slightly inferior to the 'Sword Plover', but the explosive speed of the two is not on the same level.
Fox's Walker Type III is a relatively common 'sword-wielding' model on the market, but although it is common, it is not cheap at all. The ex-factory price at the Kingfisher Workshop is 150,000 Lisels, not counting the workmanship hours.
At least half of the material cost is required.
This was when someone gave him a pillow when he felt sleepy. Fang Yu couldn't help but shook his head secretly. This internationalist warrior named Fox had really helped him a lot. What he lacked now was the combat power at hand.
He carefully inserted the thing into the magic furnace, then turned back to look at the others, suddenly stunned, and asked:
"By the way, where is Mr. Dickert?"
Hongye shook his head: "You mean that knight? I haven't seen him since before."
"And your employer, the man with the mask is also missing." Parker added at the side.
Fang Yu looked behind and asked, "Is it okay?"
Hongye frowned and shook his head: "Our task is to solve the trouble here, not to protect his safety. It is his problem that the employer comes to this place in person."
"But speaking of it," she asked in a somewhat suspicious tone: "Didn't you realize that the incarnation of the Dragon's Golden Eyes has never appeared? Was it killed by the captain's explosion?"
Parker said carelessly: "If that's really the case, then we have to upgrade to level ten."
