The attic is small, with sloping walls and dim light. There are old furniture placed in the darkness. They are silent and only stare at the floating dust. After seeing what the maid lady is looking for, Fang Plovi understands that Feo
Why did Si need to help herself? It was a huge box placed in the corner of the attic.
Fios looked at the box, then turned around, looked at Fang Plover and said, "That thing is under the box, please Mr. Ed."
The box was half as tall as him and about one meter wide from side to side. Fang Plover tried to pull it with his hands, but it didn't move at all. He raised his hand, summoned the lurker, then activated anti-gravity, and pulled hard, making it float half an inch in the air.
The box was dragged away and landed heavily on the floor with a muffled sound.
After the box left its original position, Fang Yu saw that there was a secret door underneath.
This is really surprising, because most people only think of the ceiling of the next floor under the attic floor. How can a thin layer hide things? But perhaps that is why the designer of the secret door chose the opposite.
It's the way it should be, making it even more deceptive when it appears here.
Fios walked to the secret door first, squatted down and opened the wooden board. There was a secret compartment underneath, which contained several thin books. She took out the books, opened them one by one, and checked them one by one.
Close up.
Fang Yu deliberately kept a distance from her, but moved his fingers slightly. In the darkness, a clockwork fairy hung in the corner of the ceiling, silently switching the camera and making an inaudible sound, recording the scene.
He adjusted the lenses of his goggles and saw that there were some strange symbols written on the pages of the book, either shorthand or a code that was confusing. He just wrote down part of it and saw
The maid girl straightened up.
Fang Yu quickly opened his goggles, pretended to wait for a while, and just asked: "Are you ready?"
Fios nodded and asked softly: "Mr. Ed, do you have any matches?"
Fang Plover took out a box of matches from his pocket and handed them over.
The maid took the match, thought for a moment, then took out a black velvet box from under the book, and asked, "Can you get it for me, Mr. Ed?"
Fang Yu nodded and took the box. But Fios looked at him and said, "Put it in your pocket."
Fang was stunned for a moment.
Fios explained softly: "It's safer this way."
Fang Yu looked at the box in his hand, thought for a moment, and then acted as he was told.
Fios was relieved when she saw him put away the box. She took out another match and lit it with a light stroke on the pillar. The flame suddenly lit up in the darkness, lighting up the girl's eyes. Fios looked at
He was expressionless, with only the piety of a Taoist in his expression.
Fang Yu looked on and was secretly surprised. He hadn't seen her for a few days, and the maid seemed to have changed. He vaguely guessed that this might be related to the people who kidnapped her, or to the person behind her whom he had never met before.
It’s about the owner.
Fios picked up the book in her hand, ignited it with a match, and burned it, turning it into a ball of fire. The firelight reflected the faces of the two people. The maid lady never said what the books were, and Fang Yu didn't ask.
She didn't answer either.
The flames curled up little by little with the pages, and after a while, the book burned out little by little.
Fang Yu silently watched the book turn into ashes, falling piece by piece, the sparks disappearing into specks of light, and finally only the only light source left in the darkness was a dormer window. The winter sunlight was pale and slanted through the gray
The glass is hung on the wooden board, imprinting the impression of the window lattice.
The maid was afraid, clapped her hands, stood up, and said to him: "Thank you, Mr. Ed. If it weren't for you this time, I really don't know what I would have done."
"It's just a little effort. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't let those people do evil." Fang Pliance replied.
Fios shook her head.
Looking at her expression, Fang Yu always felt that finding the book might be more important to the maid than the first thing. He couldn't help but become more and more curious about what the book was, but unfortunately, the other party was destined not to tell her.
he.
At this time, a shadow flashed outside the window, mixed with a whistling wind. Fios stopped, looked outside, and then returned to Fang Plover again: "Someone is coming outside, it's a pterosaur from the city guard.
knight."
She said: "I'll deal with them first. Mr. Ed stays here and doesn't make any noise. After we leave, you can leave this place alone."
The girl's tone was calm, as if she was explaining things in an orderly manner.
After saying that, she bowed to Fang Plover again, then turned around and walked down to the attic.
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment and couldn't help calling her from behind: "Miss Fios."
Fios turned back, looked at him and shook her head: "Don't ask, Mr. Ed, this matter has nothing to do with you. Thank you, but please leave this place and forget what happened today. This is not a good thing.
"
Fang Yu watched the girl leave.
He didn't think about it for a while, whether he should catch up or not. He always felt that this was only half done. But in the small, quiet attic, in the dark environment, he calmed down little by little. It's not that it's better to do less than to do more.
I just learned to control my impulses.
He sighed and finally chose to respect the other person's opinion.
There is still a bit of burning smell in the air.
Fang Plover looked around and saw that there was a desk under the window sill, with some small items on it, perhaps the personal belongings of the original owner, a few books, an ink bottle, a quill, and a picture frame.
Fang Yu picked up the photo frame and took a look. On it was a portrait of a woman, about 27 or 27 years old. She was graceful, wearing a top hat, and smiling. But the smile was a little warm, as if it came from the heart, which made people feel happy.
At first glance, I felt slightly reassured
He rarely saw such a real smile, unlike Sylvester's smile, which was a complement to the noble daughter's quiet temperament. She smiled at everyone, but the meanings were different, maybe it was just a matter of education and behavior.
part.
But the smile in the painting is a real reaction from the heart, vivid on the paper, and touching people's hearts. Even just a portrait can make people feel the same.
Fang Plover turned the picture frame, and there was a line of small words written in ink on the wooden board behind the picture frame: Miranda, 1446 (Year of Shadows), 6, 11.
Miranda Fang thought of the name of the hotel and thought that the photo frame actually showed the owner of the hotel. He put down the photo frame and thought that the portrait on it was about three years ago.
But I don't know why this hotel closed.
At this time, the sound of conversation was vaguely heard in the hall below.
They were two pterodactyl knights. They obviously recognized Fios, and their tone of voice was somewhat surprising.
"Miss Fios, why are you here?"
"We heard that someone is causing trouble here, are you okay?"
Fios shook her head.
"I'm fine. It's just that someone wanted to harm the Mordekaiser family. They kidnapped me and wanted to blackmail Master Enan, but an adventurer helped me."
The two knights looked at each other in confusion. The report they received was that someone was causing trouble here, but they did not expect that there was such a shocking conspiracy. But the other party was a maid of Mordekaiser's family and a person close to the Duke's second son. Even this time
The son is no longer favored by the Duke, but at least he still has the blood of the Phoenix family flowing through him.
The other party would never joke with these two little knights on such a matter.
However, the two of them did not feel happy at all, they only retreated. "Miss Fios..."
"I won't embarrass you," Fios obviously didn't expect these people, "just escort me back."
The two of them felt like they had been granted amnesty: "This is our duty, Miss Fios."
But another person couldn't help but ask: "...Excuse me, where is the adventurer who saved Miss Fios?"
Fios glanced at him: "This is none of your business. I paid them and they left naturally. I don't want this matter to spread, do you understand?"
They both nodded.
But at this moment, a voice came in: "Miss Fios." The voice came from the snow outside, with a chilly winter tone, and the voice was very steady, without any lingering sound.
Fang Yu was slightly startled when he heard this, and felt vaguely that the voice sounded familiar.
Fios was also stunned for a moment and looked at the man who came in from the outside: "Mr. Odin, why are you here?"
"I heard something happened here, let's see if I can help," Odin replied. He looked around the hall and saw at a glance that the door and outer wall were destroyed by puppets and giant constructs.
He raised his head and took a look. The focus should be on the door. As for the position of the giant suit at that time, Odin turned around and his eyes fell on the place where the Orphen Twins landed.
He silently reconstructed the scene in his mind, then turned around and said, "Phios, did you see a boy?" As he spoke, he described the appearance of Fang Plover.
Fios was startled for a moment.
As for Fang Plover, who was on the attic, he suddenly realized that the other person was Odin, one of the ten kings. It was no wonder that his voice was familiar to him.
After all, the other party personally guided him and the box during the Fenris Island incident.
But how did he find this place?
Was he exposed?
Fang Yu was a little panicked for a moment. He subconsciously glanced at the window, but fortunately he restrained his irrational thoughts; in front of this warrior, one of the ten kings, he was afraid that the other party would notice the slightest movement.
As for escaping from under the opponent's nose, he knew how ridiculous it was even if he thought about it.
Fang Yu subconsciously held his breath, not even daring to take a breath. He only silently hoped that Feos would fool this great god away as soon as possible.
Downstairs, Fios hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"Where is he?" Odin asked immediately.
"He left after those people."
"left?"
"Hmm." Fios looked in the direction of the back door.
The shadow dancer turned into smoke and left from there, but it still left some traces.
Odin glanced at it and analyzed that someone had left there. His eyes moved from one place to another, which happened to be the place where the shadow dancer landed twice and finally extended to the window.
However, he couldn't be sure if he was an alchemist. There were no footprints in the hall, but that person's angel energy could also flash.
Fios looked at him and looked away, her expression flashed, and she pretended to be calm.
"Those people?" Odin asked.
"It's the people from the Shadow Throne, they kidnapped me."
Odin frowned and his face darkened. He originally planned to chase after Fang Plover to see if he could find Fang Plover, but after hearing this, he retracted his thoughts and asked in a deep voice: "Throne of Shadows, are you sure?"
Fios nodded slightly.
Odin's face was very ugly, but he thought of something and did not speak again. He only patted Fios on the shoulder: "I will send you back. Your little master should have heard the news."
"Thank you, Mr. Odin."
Above the attic, Fang Plover breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the sound of people leaving.
He looked at the photo frame again, waited for a while, and waited until it was completely silent outside before climbing down to the attic alone. He walked down the stairs and first looked at the hall on the second floor, where there was no one outside.
.
But he was not yet at ease, so he let the clockwork goblin go around again, and after making sure no one was left behind, he walked out. The outside of the hall was still in a mess, with bricks and rubble scattered all over the place.
He couldn't help but think of the previous situation
As for why the people from the Shadow Throne kidnapped Fios and came to this place, who gave them the courage to provoke the Phoenix Family? What are those books, and what do the lines of codes on them mean?
This was also the question in his mind.
He stayed there for a while, and suddenly heard the sound of banging on the glass. He was startled and turned around. After taking a closer look, he found that Sylvide was looking at the glass with a smile through a window.
Hold him.
"Miss Sylvide, why are you here?"
Fang Plover walked over and opened the window.
Sylvide smiled slightly: "I saw a lot of city guards here, and I'm a little worried about you. But even if the angel is still there, I can't take it with you."
Fang Fang was stunned for a moment. Although the noble daughter didn't seem to care much about what she said, her actions showed everything. The other party was not safe here. He took a breath and felt warm in his heart.
"Don't worry about it, it will be put away later."
"Where's Miss Fios?" Sylvide looked around curiously.
"She left."
"Are you alone?"
"With those city guards."
Sylvide nodded: "This matter is indeed not simple."
Fang Yu looked at her with some surprise. The ship officer only smiled, blinked and explained: "It's not surprising. The captain saved her. With her master's character, whether it is true or false, she has to see you no matter what.
one side."
She paused for a moment: "Kiddling the maid of the Mordekaiser family is no small matter. Captain, who gave the Shadow Throne the courage?"
"It's a troubled time..." Sylvide sighed: "...not just Duron, but every place in the South is not involved in this whirlpool. She deliberately distanced herself from the captain, probably because she didn't want to let him go.
We are also involved."
Fang Plover opened his mouth.
The other party's analysis is also inseparable.
Sylvide looked at Fang Plover and asked, "Did the maid leave anything behind?"
"Something?" Fang Yu was stunned and suddenly thought of something.
He put his hand into his pocket and took out a black velvet box. It was something that the maid asked him to pick up, but he forgot to return it. "This is..." He was about to explain, but he didn't want to give it back.
Erweide had taken the box from his hand and opened it.
Fang Yu wanted to stop it, but it was too late. After the box was opened in Sylvide's hands, he took a moment and saw an olive-shaped crystal lying flat on the velvet inside.
The crystal exudes magnificent colors under the winter afternoon sun.
"The rose stone is priceless," Sylvester smiled slightly: "This is her thank you gift to you, Captain."
Fang Yu couldn't help but be stunned.
…
When Odin frowned and pushed the door in, there were already many people in the reception room.
Some of them were officials of the Shadow Throne. They were startled when they saw the president of Ragnarok barging in.
Odin looked at these people without saying a word, and everyone's eyes also fell on him, including the Archon who was on the throne. The latter looked stern and hesitated to speak, but finally spoke: "Mr. Odin,
I thought you had left."
Odin glanced at the officials from the Throne of Shadows and replied: "I left, but something happened in the meantime. I don't know if Mr. Earl knew about it." He paused: "Just now, the people from the Throne of Shadows hijacked the Phoenix.
A maid of the family."
"A maid?" the indigenous nobles whispered.
Odin glanced at them: "The identity of the maid is not simple. She is from Enan Mordekaiser." He took a breath: "ragnarok came to maintain the stability of the southern border. I need an explanation."
An official of the Shadow Throne stood up and said in surprise: "What!? Are you telling the truth, Mr. Odin?"
Odin shook his head: "Don't pretend to be with me. Leave the talk about temporary workers to the press conference. What I need now is an answer."
The official looked ugly and stepped back.
If it were any guild in the south, he could fight back. But this is Ragnarok, and the opponent is one of the ten kings, the number one warrior in the country, and they are not really the nobles of Aitaria.
It is the identity of the chosen one.
There was some silence in the hall for a while.
After a while, the consul slowly spoke: "Don't blame them, Mr. Odin."
He replied: "It was my idea."
Odin turned around and looked at this man.
"This has something to do with the next plan," the consul replied: "Actually, I am preparing someone to inform you, Mr. Odin."
"But this is different from what was originally promised."
"This is a temporary adjustment," the man shook his head: "This is what the prime minister wants, and your people have no objection."
Odin was silent for a moment, but finally did not speak.
Who "your people" refers to, he naturally knew in his heart. "What's the reason?" he asked. The consul put down his scepter and replied: "On the one hand, it's because we found some interesting little evidence."
"On the one hand, it's because something happened in the Mordekaiser family."
