"At the time of the incident, a hostile party planned to hijack the target. We had no choice but to take action and have now wiped out all the opponents. There is currently no damage to the target. We have suffered minor casualties. However, it is not yet clear which side the hostile party is coming from. It does not seem to be...
Chosen One, our coordinates are located at..."
Listening to the report that suddenly came from the communication channel, Ambassador Liao, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly sat upright and put the information in his hand on the alloy table in front of him. His expression suddenly became serious.
He replied: "Well done, protect that lady and ask her to enter the communication channel and transfer to Fenris underground immediately."
In the dark underground, Fang Plover, the Papalars and the Lizardman Prince were crossing the lonely long bridge.
The golden fire flowing over the lava was isolated by the huge pyramid behind it, leaving only some glimmer of light in this direction. The rustling steps were walking on this lonely bridge standing in the darkness. If you look carefully, its bridge deck is not
It was built with obsidian beloved by the Snakes of Xinthus. It was a gray stone that looked pale under the light of the pine crystal in Parker's hand, like calcified bone.
Perhaps the snake people think that obsidian is a precious thing. It is difficult to see on the surface of Fenris. It can only be mined deep in the core of the earth. Only temples and ancient kings' tombs can be built with it.
In our society, these ordinary buildings are not worthy of precious 'sacred stones'.
But the gray bridge is still a little out of tune with the surrounding environment.
In addition, the fog is thick, and the abyss below is bottomless. The lonely bridge seems to be suspended in mid-air. From time to time, stones fall from the bridge due to tremors, and are submerged into the darkness, as if being swallowed by a huge open mouth. The unknown is born in the depth, and
The unknown is often scary.
At this time, the crystal in Parker's hand flickered, and the light became much dimmer.
He shook the crystal vigorously before the light shone a little brighter again, but it seemed to have overdrawn its vitality. After a while, the light of the crystal flickered a few more times and then completely dimmed, turning back into an ordinary artificial crystal.
.
Only then did Parker complain in the darkness: "The magic power is gone."
Pine crystal is one of the most basic creations of alchemy, also known as lighting crystal. This artificial crystal produces light source through its low content of etheric magic. It is a very safe cold light source.
However, its simple structure determines that it cannot be recharged, and generally speaking, there is no need to recharge it, because it is everywhere on the surface world. When it is used up, just replace it.
"Isn't there Songming Crystal in the supplies?" Fang Pliance asked, "Why don't you get more."
"In the hands of the people of Silver Vislan, this piece belongs to me." The Papalar threw the thing into the darkness and patted his chubby hand and replied.
Fang Yu watched this scene. After a while, the sound of the crystal shattering came from the darkness. It seemed like it had hit something solid under the bridge and broke into pieces.
"Forget it," he then shook his head: "If the supplies from the Kaolin-Ithulian Artisans Association can be delivered accurately later, we can get some more."
"Is there still time to deliver supplies to them?"
Parker was skeptical.
But Fang Yu actually had no idea.
But at this time, the two of them saw Teneric stopping behind and looking down into the darkness below, as if there was something there that deserved its focused attention.
This move made Fang Yu feel something was wrong, so he stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"
"There's something down there."
Tenerik's deep voice was as concise as ever.
The lizardman prince lowered his head motionlessly, and his prismatic pupils seemed to be able to penetrate the darkness and get a glimpse of the environment under the bridge. However, the fog there was too deep, and he could not see clearly. He only described in a low voice: "It
It's very big. I don't know if it's still alive, but I seemed to have seen it move just now."
Fang Yu was slightly stunned. The huge existence under the darkness could not help but think of the ancient legend in the Blood Sacrifice Hall of A-Suka in the south of Numelin Forest. There was a huge Feathered Serpent Saint under the abyss there.
Like, many people have seen the scene of a huge feathered serpent rising from the darkness.
This is also the ruins of ancient Sinsas, and even the two places are so consistent. The abyss, the temple of sacrifice and the place of divine power of the sun gods.
There are so many unsolved mysteries left behind by this ancient empire.
The powerful sun gods are different from the Orin pantheon. It is said that they are living gods who walk on the earth and leave behind countless miracles and legends.
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, Fang Plover suddenly heard a high-frequency hissing sound. He raised his head and found that Tenerik was shouting to himself nervously: "Get out of this place quickly!"
This was the first time Fang Plover saw such a look on the other person's face.
The next moment, all three of them felt the lone bridge under their feet swaying slightly. It was not the same as the previous tremor, but more like shaking from side to side. Parker almost somersaulted under the bridge, but Tenerik's hands and eyes were quick and he pounced.
He came over and dragged the Papalar back from outside.
At this time, Fang Plover also realized that it was not the time to think about this at all. No matter what was down there, when it woke up, it probably wouldn't be too friendly to 'outsiders' like them who trespassed into the forbidden area.
What's more, there are some of their 'kinds' who are causing trouble in the center of the temple. The Sinsas snakemen a thousand years ago couldn't tell the difference between human factions like them. What's more, was there any guild like this at that time?
The organization is still a problem.
Fang Plover turned around and ran away. Fortunately, they had already crossed two-thirds of the bridge before, and the remaining one-third was not too long a distance for them.
But when he stepped onto the end of the bridge, something horrifying happened to him. Fang Plover felt that the bridge under his feet suddenly came to life. It jerked back and unexpectedly fell into the land not far away.
Pulled it out.
The bridge suddenly moved away from his feet
Fang Plover felt that his soul was gone, but fortunately he still had his senses. He stretched out his hand and shot out his flying claw, and the hook hit the edge of the land in the central area with a snap. He flew over and hit a solid object on the ground.
But he didn't have time to check himself, so he quickly got up and looked back, just in time to see the bridge being pulled away from the arch, like a pale bone whip, and the bridge piers collapsed under the action of external force, falling to pieces below.
In the misty abyss.
Tenerik was holding Parker and running wildly on the bridge that was being pulled away. At the last moment, it jumped up and flew over a distance that was unimaginable to humans. It rolled and landed on the ground with the handkerchief in its hand.
Naturally, the Parral people also flew out.
But that guy was really lucky. He rolled on the ground several times and was unscathed.
Fang Plover was breathing a sigh of relief.
But I heard Sophie's severely disturbed voice coming from the channel: "...be careful behind you!"
After being together for such a long time, Fang Yu had roughly understood the meaning of the words of the little silver Wisland princess. Without thinking, he swooped forward, and the sharp sound of piercing the air roared behind him, as if there was someone there.
Something huge hit him right where he was.
There was a roar, the ground shook slightly, and a large piece of the cliff there collapsed directly due to the impact.
Fang Yu just escaped with this attack. He looked back with lingering fear, only to find that the long gray bridge that had been pulled away was moving away from the cliff. Obviously, it was this 'bridge' that launched the attack before, but Fang Yu this time
Only then did I see it.
That's not a bridge at all, but a long tail.
After it missed a hit, it curled up and retracted under the mist, leaving nothing but a few lonely bridge pillars on the abyss.
Fang Plover was afraid that this thing would crawl out from below. Even its tail was nearly a thousand meters long. He was horrified even thinking about what its true form would look like. But the strange thing was that after this thing retracted its tail, it would reappear.
There was no movement, it seemed that the bottom of the abyss had become quiet again, and the mist no longer billowed.
Fang Yu watched this scene with lingering fear, and then got up from the ground with some exhaustion. He was not sure whether the ghost things down there had stopped, or whether it was just the calm before the storm, but it was best to stay as far away from this place as possible right now.
The better.
It is best to head to the center of the central temple area immediately.
Even if this ghost crawls out of that place, he can still find a way to divert the trouble and let the guys in Jeffree's red team have a taste of their pants.
He couldn't help but look in the direction of Tenerik, only to find that the previous blow of the tail had collapsed the cliff and actually formed a crack between the two sides. Although the crack was not too long, it still separated them.
.
Teneric happened to be looking from that direction at this time.
Fang Plover waved his hand to him, not daring to speak loudly. He only used gestures to tell the other party to go around the gap and meet a block ahead.
This sign language was not complicated. The lizard prince understood it immediately. He nodded, picked up Parker who was still on the ground and pretended to be dead, and ran in that direction. Fang Plover did not dare to stay longer, and only turned back to take one last look at the mist-filled sky.
Abyss also turned around and ran in the direction of the block.
Fortunately, the situation was better than he expected. Murphy's Law did not come into effect here. For some unknown reason, the giant thing under the abyss did not seem to appear immediately.
He breathed a sigh of relief and then thanked Her Royal Highness the Princess of Silver Veslan:
"Sophie, thank you."
Speaking of which, when he was fighting alone underground, this was not the first time that the other party helped him.
Sophie shook her head, as if she didn't want to say anything more.
Fang Yu saw the worry in her expression: "Is there still no news from Miss Qian?"
"Our communication with you is also intermittent, and there is no news at all over there." Sophie frowned: "The Ether channel has been greatly affected by the drastic changes in Fenris. The only stable channel now is the military's A3
The road is open”
"Perhaps it's because of the influence of the communication channel..." Fang Yu replied.
Sophie Diandian, now she can only believe this statement wishfully.
"Excuse me," Ambassador Liao's voice came from the channel at this time. Since the military maintains the ether channel for strategic-level spells, his voice was particularly clear: "There has been news from Miss Qian.
, don’t worry, they just don’t have time to contact you temporarily.”
Sophie's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up: "What happened over there?"
"Sorry," Ambassador Liao shook his head: "I'm afraid we don't have time to discuss this now. Mr. Xia Ya, we have found the person you are looking for."
"Eliza!?"
Sophie and Fang Plover called out the name at the same time.
"It's Miss Alisa."
"She wants to talk to you alone, Mr. Xia Ya," Ambassador Liao replied.
Fang Plover nodded.
This is exactly what he wants now.
Although Sophie was a little curious about these two people, she also understood that now was not the time to satisfy her curiosity, so she had to exit the communication channel. The noise in the communication channel temporarily disappeared, as if there was silence, but after a while, Fang Plover heard
That soft, familiar voice came from the other end of the channel.
"Mr. Ed..."
"Eliza."
"Mr. Ed, I'm sorry..." Alyssa replied softly.
"This has nothing to do with you, Miss Alyssa," Fang Yu paused before replying: "Because I believe you are innocent, but the question now is, do you believe me for once, Miss Alyssa?"
Alyssa seemed silent.
After a while, she asked: "What do you believe in you, Mr. Ed? But I have always believed in you, and I know you are a good person."
"This is different," Fang Yu shook his head: "Because this time, I need your wholehearted and unreserved trust."
The other side seemed stunned.
Fang Yu continued: "Do you still remember the message I sent you before?"
Alyssa still didn't answer.
But Fang Yu didn't care about this. He continued: "What I asked at that time was, 'Alice?' You know very well that it was to confirm your identity with Alice."
"And you answered 'What's wrong?'."
"From that moment on, I knew you were innocent."
"the reason is simple"
Alyssa held her own starlight device and stood under the icon of the goddess of life.
Ms. Mirela in the temple is not as serious and fair as Roman. Her eyelids are lowered, and she seems to be looking at her people with gentle eyes.
But the girl remained motionless. The military personnel who came to protect her followed the agreement with her and exited the hall at this moment. Therefore, in this small temple, only she and the goddess stood facing each other.
That's all.
In the starlight device.
A coherent voice is constantly coming from the communication channel.
"...Because there is a fatal information loss in Tolagotos," Fang Yu pointed to a black crystal worn on his chest: "Do you still remember this information crystal?"
"I met you on the fourth floor, and at that time an information crystal fell from the holy body of Kukulkan. After you picked it up, you traded it to me. And Torago
Thos may have all the initiative in this ruins, but it cannot understand these specific details."
"The Chosen One's trading system actually comes from the fair agreement of the Roman Goddess. It will record the true identities of both parties to the transaction, so you know very well that at that moment, I had already confirmed the identities of you and your sister."
"The message I sent you was not to confirm anything, it was just to get the answer I wanted. You know it, and I know it, but the people behind you don't understand it."
"So when you opened your mouth, I understood everything," Fang Plover replied quietly: "How could you speak without coercion? Miss Alice's subsequent reaction made me even more convinced of this.
"
"Because this is an agreement between you and me, and no one will find out that I have discovered her identity, including your sister."
Fang Yu was silent for a moment.
There was also silence over there, with only the sound of gentle breathing.
After a while, Fang Yu continued to speak.
"...Miss Sylvide's blunderbuss was left where you were killed. Perhaps this was to make others think that you were killed by 'that woman', and this is not the same as Alice's death."
The claims since then have remained consistent."
"But there is a loophole in it, that is, in this black holy city, other people do not know Sylvide, and the only people who are familiar with us are just Rain Listeners. So, this detail is not so much
In my opinion, putting the blame on others is more of an attempt to deceive your own people."
"Then what's the point of this kind of deception? I think it is meaningful, that is, the other people in Listen to the Rain don't know whether it was you or Alice who was killed."
"On the eleventh floor, I specifically asked the people listening to the rain whether you had ever left their sight before that, but the answer was no. So I guess that your identity exchange actually happened after you were
The moment of killing was accomplished in chaos."
"Why do you do that?"
"I guess sometimes, we regard being killed as a very serious matter, because that is a habitual way of thinking of the Chosen. But thinking about it on the other hand, this is the killing of Etalia, but it can actually be
A kind of protection.”
"So your sister is protecting you, Miss Alisa."
"And you are also protecting her."
Fang Yu stopped and looked seriously at the girl who appeared in the light page. Alyssa's eyes were slightly red and swollen.
"But you know what real protection is, Miss Alyssa," he said softly: "Please use the courage and wisdom you had in that short reply, because there is no one around you to stop you from speaking now.
, maybe it’s not too late now, we still have a chance to save everything.”
"Whether it's your sister or the lives of hundreds of thousands of people on Fenris Island"
Alyssa stood there blankly.
She closed her eyes gently, tears falling down uncontrollably: "But it's too late, Toragotos controls everyone, it's impossible for us to contact Alice without alerting it, it will kill
Alice, really kill her, I've seen it all..."
"Toragothos controls everyone?"
Fang Plover was slightly startled.
Somehow, he immediately connected this incident with the disappearance of the senior members of the Rainlistener Guild.
What surprised him even more was that everything Alyssa described would kill her sister, really kill her? What does real killing mean? Although he vaguely thought of that possibility, but
But my heart was filled with trembling disbelief.
If all this is true.
Doesn't that mean that the natives have the possibility of killing the chosen ones in Aitaria?
But how is this possible?
However, Fang Yu only reacted in an instant. He realized that this was not the time to think about it. He shook his head and forced himself to calm down, and replied: "Lovely Miss Lisa, if we don't do anything, do you really think Toragoto will do anything?"
After everything is successful, Si will let us go? Let your sister go?"
These words seemed to hit the deepest nightmare in Alyssa's heart.
She looked at Fang Plover with wide eyes and her face turned pale.
"And I," Fang Pulou struck while the iron was hot, speaking word by word, his voice decisive: "I have sworn that I will never let myself have any regrets again, so I will try it once no matter what. So Miss Alyssa,
Will you trust me for once?"
Alyssa pursed her lips tightly, her eyes filled with complicated expressions. After a while, she finally said: "But what should I do, Mr. Ed?"
Fang Plover breathed a sigh of relief.
There seemed to be a sense of joy in his heart that there was no way out, and he replied in a low voice: "Do you still remember the pair of daggers I gave you?"
Alyssa was stunned for a moment and nodded.
"Then," Fang Plover's tone was full of affirmation: "Perhaps, we can always think of some way."
