Fang Yu could clearly feel that this was different from the previous scene changes. It was really fading, and the power of the illusion was weakening. It felt like a person no longer believed in everything in the dream when he woke up from a dream.
Finally at a certain moment, his eyelids shook violently and suddenly opened.
The bright light flooded into his sight like a trickling stream, causing him to close his eyes again, and after a while, he opened them again.
What you see is a quiet square, with dark soil exposed under the scattered stone slabs, as if the blood that flowed thirty years ago has not dried up.
Weeds spread out between the cracks in the gravel, and were dazzlingly green. They made a rustling sound as the breeze blew across the square.
The tall buildings of the past were reduced to ashes in the sea of fire. Among the overgrown weeds, only a half-remaining statue of the knight stood in the center of the square.
There is a line of text engraved on the base of the stone tablet there, boasting the bravery of the people who built this place in the past, but there is a deep crack in the center of the text.
A gecko flashed past the stone monument with its dark green figure shaking.
Fang Plover remembered that it was midnight when he entered the illusion, but now, the sun was shining brightly above his head, and it had just passed the noon line.
He heard a soft sound, turned around and realized it was red leaves.
"Is this here?" Hongye was standing where she was hiding in the illusion, but she looked confused, as if she hadn't fully woken up yet.
"Grey Oak Square, as you can see."
Hongye was stunned for a moment before she realized: "I, we are back again, Dolifen's illusion...all of this...is over?"
Fang Yu nodded slightly to her.
Yes, it's all over
Everything I saw in that long illusion.
Dollifon's cozy haven, Lady Vineleaf Inn, the town hall offices haunted by disputes, Hostings Cathedral where countless souls rest, and the Gray Oak Square burning in the sea of fire.
Everyone in the illusion, starting with the unlucky Jeffrey and ending with Nicol Bolas on the square, the people and things from thirty years ago are vividly before their eyes.
But all of this disappeared.
Just like it was buried in the long river of history, now it is just returning to the embrace of ancient times, with only some things proving that it once existed.
Fang Plover opened his palm, and there lay quietly a ring with golden flames flowing. It really looked like the wheel-shaped eyes of a giant dragon. There seemed to be some power hidden in it, talking to him in a low voice.
But Fang Plover only looked at it, then took it back into his hand, and all the illusions disappeared.
Gradually there were other people in the square.
Not only were the Papalars who somehow found the courage to fight Nicol Bolas to the death, but there were also some people who were not in the square at the time.
For example, Hansen's adventure group and his men.
These people walked out of the ruins in scattered pieces, with confused expressions on their faces.
When they entered the Gray Oak Square for the first time, they were dispersed by the shadow of Nicol Bolas transformed by Misu. After that, Fang Plov never encountered these people again in the illusion. He thought these people
They had all died at the hands of Nicol Bolas, but they didn't expect that there were still people alive.
Those people were quite intelligent, and they probably realized that their survival was due to someone's blessing, so they couldn't help but feel awe and fear in the eyes of Fang Plover and others.
But they had betrayed their trust in the illusion before, so they were too embarrassed to come over and deal with Fang Plover at this time. The group of people finally left this place in despair.
In fact, Fang Yu didn't pay much attention to that matter. Under the circumstances, the choice of these people was understandable. He also took a special look and saw no trace of Hansen among the group of people.
It's a pity that the uncle didn't seem to be able to escape.
And then there are the knights of Tapolis.
Except for the memory that they died at the hands of Nicol Bolas, most of these people actually survived in the end.
At this time, they all ran out to recognize Hongye, but when they realized that the other party was involved in completing the final task, they all showed great surprise.
"Then why didn't you keep your employer? Oh my God, that guy wouldn't have absconded with the money, right?" the knights all said in confusion.
"Shut up, you guys, that's the president of the Black Goat Chamber of Commerce." Hongye looked at these mindless guys angrily.
The guild she belonged to was named the Oak Knights at the time, but this name may have caused trouble. There was a guy in the group who was so stupid that he seemed to have a wooden head. She thought she was just ordinary, but in the guild she became an outlier.
, will be regarded as the core training for the future.
The people of the Silver Forest Spear often used this to ridicule them for using a stone as a treasure, so she gritted her teeth and tried her best to catch up with the two talented young men of the Silver Forest Spear. Although there was always a slight difference from the beginning to the end.
But he finally proved himself.
Everyone in the group looked a bit dull to her, but at least they were warm and didn't have to care too much, and there weren't so many intrigues.
In fact, there were some things she didn't tell Jita and Luo Yu.
The two of them have already been assigned positions in the regiment, but this is the rule of the Oak Knights of Tapolis, and the truth will never be told to the newcomers before they are selected.
Being selected from the youth training camp actually means that the team has recognized their talent and hard work. The so-called assessment is just a test of their persistence.
This is the fundamental knightly test that the Knights of Tapolis have been established for a long time. It tests not so much talent as it tests human heart.
Hongye knew that this was the philosophy of the earliest founder of the Knights.
Although the founder has retired a long time ago, his spirit has always been carried out by his successors. The so-called free guild should pursue something different from those of the big guilds. If it really follows the old path of the latter, it will not be possible at all.
It undoubtedly betrays people's original intentions.
This is what the Knights have always pursued.
Hongye also deeply recognizes this.
Unfortunately, there are not many people who agree with all this now. She couldn't help but glance at Fang Plover not far away.
People came out one after another.
Finally, Fang Plover saw the figure of the older knight. His figure was more stooped than before, his hair was gray and he looked exhausted. He just pressed the sword firmly with one hand and his expression remained serious.
Among the few people in the square at that time, except for the noble lady and her maid who disappeared from the beginning, only Rune Lincius was still missing.
Fang Plover asked the knight where the latter had gone, but Dict only shook his head gently: "I saw that he was in an illusion, chasing the phantom to the direction of Fisherman's Lane."
Fang Plover knew that was the direction the lady left Dolifen.
The president of the Black Goat Chamber of Commerce came here to seek the answer that he had missed in the past, but he did not know whether the answer was consistent with what he had in mind.
"Will he come back?"
"Maybe will."
This question ended abruptly. Although the two were comrades who fought side by side thirty years ago, due to the thirty-year gap, they did not know each other's situation.
It's just that this illusion is like a reappearance of the past, allowing the two to meet here again.
Fang Yu hesitated to speak: "Mr. Knight, what are your plans for the future?"
Dickert stared at this square for a long time, as if organizing the memories of this place thirty years ago from the fragmented details.
He replied quietly: "The illusion of Dolifen has passed, and this place will probably return to peace. After the adventurers left, soon there will be only forests and ruins left here. In a few decades, people will no longer remember it."
I can’t believe there was a city here.”
Fang Yu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
The story of the hero is buried under this unknown ruin. How many people will know what happened here thirty years ago?
A knight, a young businessman who had just joined the Kaolin Merchant Alliance, and a lady dragon slayer. The former two devoted the first half of their lives, while the latter used herself as a vessel to merge with Nicol Bolas.
one.
Where did she go after she left Dolifen? Does the giant dragon sleeping in the Traveler's Swamp still have a part of her soul in his body?
Or, that is actually the lady from the past.
Fang Yu suddenly understood why Mazak and his father built the hotel in the swamp.
Is the pure soul described in the Mark of Martyrdom of the Loyal actually the hope and wish left behind by that lady?
"As for me," Dict said softly, "Yellow Mountain Forest is a good choice. After things settle down here, the lumber camp may be back on track. This is a good thing for everyone."
Fang Yu turned around and said, "But they never knew that it was you who solved all this."
"It's not me," the older knight looked back at him: "It's you, young man."
Fang Yu was slightly startled, a little surprised.
"But that's just a coincidence. If it weren't for that ring..."
"The ring is on your hand."
"That was given to me by Mr. Mazak," Fang Yu was a little surprised: "Did he already know all this?"
The older knight shook his head: "That's Misu's brother. He doesn't know all this, but it's not a coincidence, nor is it some destiny arrangement, young man."
Ms. Marland does not believe in fate, because her knights only have long swords and the courage to move forward.
But Fang Yu still didn't understand.
"It's just because you have this potential quality," Dict looked at him seriously, with a seriousness in his gray eyes: "That's why it chose you, even if you didn't come here at this moment.
But one day, I believe you will solve all these problems."
"Thirty years ago, we also had this ring, but the result was no different. Or if it were another person, in the illusion, would he make the same choice as you? Like those people." The knight's eyes flashed with a hint of humor.
With an expression on his face, he looked at the people leaving in despair not far away.
Although Fang Yu didn't feel that he had made any extraordinary choices in the illusion.
But it seems a little impossible to say that those people would stay in the upper city with the ghosts of Dolifen's past. In fact, Fang Plover has long understood that in his opinion, these past events are what the chosen ones should do as a matter of course.
Obligation, but in Aitalia, at least in the first world, this is not always the case.
Mr. Quelord and Miss Scarpet did not lie to him.
The glossy surfaces he had seen in propaganda in the past were just a representation of all aspects of this world.
In other words, a gorgeous halo.
But Fang Yu never questioned his choice. He just thought that he had not seen far enough and not far enough. But he understood that he would eventually become mature one day, but maturity does not mean that he needs to change his original intention.
He suddenly understood what the older knight said, and subconsciously looked down at the ring in his hand.
The disturbing whispers disappeared, and he faintly felt that the power in the ring was actually a little afraid of him, shrinking and avoiding his gaze.
That is the power of the Dragon's Golden Eyes.
But the ring no longer had attributes. In his field of vision, the system only gave the ring a simple label: 'Ring of Golden Flame'.
There is only a name, not even a description of the equipment, nor the level and quality of the item.
However, there is still a line of small words engraved on it.
‘Powerful power is contained in it’
Apart from that, there is no further information.
Seeing that he understood, the knight showed a rare smile on his serious face and nodded to him: "You are much braver than Luen. Even in front of that person, I would say this. If it had been thirty years
If it was you before, maybe there wouldn’t be so many things happening in the future..."
Fang Yu thought that the president of the Black Goat Chamber of Commerce might not be happy when he heard these words, and he himself did not feel relaxed because of it.
Because he had a vague feeling that this matter might not be over yet.
It may even be just the beginning.
"Mr. Knight," Fang Plover couldn't help but ask, "What's your current state...?"
"I am the Immortal," Dict replied without hesitation: "As you can see in the illusion, those Dragon Worshipers were right. My power is not much different from theirs."
"Your power..."
The knight nodded: "My power comes from Miss Misu. I can clearly feel that she is still alive and even getting stronger."
"Over the years, I have carefully suppressed myself from taking the initiative to use this power, and even let my own power drain away. But the experience in the illusion has undoubtedly awakened it. This is what I have always
What I have been worrying about for a long time, if one day I become a servant of the dragon, before that I may take the initiative to end all of this."
Fang Yu couldn't help but feel a little silent after hearing this.
He looked at the ring in his hand and suddenly remembered something.
Including the name he heard in the fantasy, Lord Mags from the mouth of Archon Deklan, he felt that the name was somewhat familiar at that time.
But at this moment, Fang Yu finally remembered where he had heard this name.
Isn't that the owner who Mazak wants him to deliver this ring and that letter to?
This thought, together with the words of the older knight, confirmed some of the speculations in his mind. I am afraid that the trouble this ring has brought to him has just begun.
But recalling the experience in the fantasy world, Fang Yu didn't know if he should regret it for a moment.
