The sound of footsteps stepping on the snow outside the window is gradually fading away.
Fang Plover looked through the glass, which was covered with a thin layer of frost and was misty. The white air from his mouth hit the glass and even stained it. He had no choice but to wipe it with his hand, then tilted his head and looked outside.
.
After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and turned around. The room behind him was dark. Judging from the dust, it must be a shop that had been closed for a long time. The shelves on the walls were empty. It was unclear what the business was originally.
"They are gone." He looked at the other two people and whispered.
The three of them were a little quiet for a while.
Fang Yu couldn't help but let out a breath: "I'm afraid there will be more people on the south side of the city gate. Sure enough, there were people following us before." Fang Yu looked at Ainan aside: "Fortunately, we listened to you, otherwise it would be dangerous now."
Already."
"We are all in the same boat," Enan said with a sigh of relief: "It's just that there are people everywhere outside. Is there anything you can do, Mr. Captain?"
"Just call me Ed."
Fang Plover turned around and asked Sylvide: "Do you have a map?"
The ship officer lady looked at him and nodded, took out a copper pipe from the storage box under the magic furnace, unscrewed the lid, pulled out a roll of maps, and unfolded it on the ground.
It was a map they bought from the Brotherhood before. It was originally to find someone, but they didn't expect it to come in handy now.
Fang Yu took out a lighting crystal and bit it in his mouth, then motioned for the two of them to come closer. Once the three of them got together, he opened the cover of his cloak, lit the crystal underneath, illuminated the map, and pointed with his hand on it.
One place said to the two: "We are in this position."
"The water gate is here." Enan looked at the map and immediately added. He drew a line on the map, "It takes about three blocks to get there from here."
"It's not too far." Fang Yu heard this and asked, "What's the situation like there?"
Enan thought for a moment before replying: "There is a small piece of wasteland near the sluice, and there should be woods and bushes by the river. But I can't say what it will be like in winter."
"Smugglers can pass this route, so we probably won't have much of a problem."
Fang Plover replied, taking out the clockwork fairy again but hesitated and put it back.
The previous situation reminded him that the Clockwork Fairy was a guarantee of vision, but it could also become a hidden danger.
He didn't dare to take back the clockwork fairies that were still in the sky, so as not to attract attention. He only used them to fly in another direction to attract the other party's attention. But if he released the clockwork fairies again, he would do the same.
Worry about being discovered where you are.
"In any case, this is the only way we can go now." He thought for a moment and then said: "The patrol team has passed by, and the street outside should still be safe."
The light of the crystal went out, and the room returned to darkness.
Fang Plover opened his cloak, raised his head and took advantage of the dim light coming from the street to look outside through the window.
He turned back to the two of them and said: "But the city guard's search range has exceeded us, and there will definitely be a cordon on the outside. Although they may focus on the direction of the south gate, they can easily respond once they find us.
come over."
"Don't you have much time left for us?" Enan asked softly.
Fang Yu nodded: "But I have an idea, let them make mistakes." He fumbled to draw a line on the map, and the paper on the map rustled in the dark: "I will distract their attention.
Let them think we are still heading towards the south gate."
He looked at Miss Ship Officer: "Silweid, take Mr. Enan and sneak quietly to the sluice from another way."
"This is too dangerous, Mr. Ed." Enan hesitated for a moment and then changed his mind and stopped calling him captain.
But Fang Yu shook his head, "I am the chosen one. Even if I fail, they will not leave me in the city. There are many opportunities to leave the city." He looked at the other two people: "But you are different, Hill.
Whether it is Wade or Mr. Enan, once his identity is discovered by the city guards, it will be difficult to escape. There is no resurrection temple in the suburbs outside the city. Once resurrected, he can only be in the city..."
He didn't continue, but the two of them understood what he meant.
Fang Yu suddenly felt someone gently holding his hand in the darkness. He turned around and saw Sylvide's bright eyes, and felt the tenderness coming from her hand.
Enan did not notice the private actions of the two, but he still glanced at Sylvester, as if asking for her opinion.
In the darkness, the ship officer nodded slightly.
"A quarter of an hour," Fang Plover said: "If I don't come for a quarter of an hour, you should leave first."
But he didn't tell his ship officer that he only had two chances to be resurrected. The ship officer had lied to him several times before, and Fang Yu was still worried about it. He couldn't help but smile secretly, thinking that this time everyone would finally be able to
Evened out.
But Sylvide seemed to see his little thoughts, and she hugged him gently. "Be careful." She pressed against his neck, bit his ear, and said with a clear breath.
Then after the three of them made their plans, they left separately.
Before leaving, the ship officer looked at him deeply and then turned around.
Fang Yu watched the two people's backs slowly disappearing into the darkness, and felt a little empty in his heart.
At that moment, he was shocked to realize that silently, this noble daughter had occupied such an important position in his heart. Fang Yu took a breath, looked up at the dark sky, and gently pulled up the alchemist
The stand-up collar of a warlock's coat.
It snowed gradually in the middle of the night, and snowflakes fell in the air.
Then Fang Plover turned around and walked towards the other side of the street, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
…
The situation on the other street was not much different from what he expected.
At this moment, the street was ablaze with fire, and people's shadows were intertwined. In the distance were two or three checkpoints set up by the city guards.
Fang Plover hid in the dark and observed for a moment, only to see that the other party was constantly sending patrol teams in all directions, and just as he expected, as the opponent's manpower increased, their chances would become less and less.
This is the case even in this direction. You can imagine what the scene is like on the other side of the south gate.
Of course, he didn't plan to break through directly from the front. He still used the old method of ducking into an alley and going around to the other side of the level. It was just that the method that worked before encountered problems this time.
After passing through the alley, he unexpectedly met another patrol team on the other side of the street. The patrol team should have just left those checkpoints and was walking towards the alley in his own direction.
This situation was a bit tricky, but Fang Pliong calmed down quickly.
Seeing the other party getting closer and closer, he knew he couldn't wait any longer, so he gently pressed the black crystal on his chest with his hand. The crystal emitted a ray of light in the darkness. After the light page unfolded, it turned into a flexible structure on the ground.
That's a somewhat outdated construct.
It was the 'Mirror Imager' he bought from Grande. Although he later made two more of them based on the drawings, this one was still the original one on the shelf at that time. According to the shop owner, it was left over from the Bayern War era.
Inventory of old antiques.
Because he might not have the chance to recycle this flexible structure later, he naturally chose the one in the worst condition. Although the Alchemist was burning money, it was always worth it if he could save a little.
After Fang Yu set up the construct, he looked outside and saw that the team was already not far from the alley. He took back his body, thought for a moment, raised his right hand with the control glove, and pressed it lightly.
A sound of wind came from the street.
Hearing a crisp sound of "bang", the city guards turned around one after another, only to see that there was nothing in that direction except the first floor of a nearby building, and a window had a big hole smashed by something.
Glass shards scattered all over the ground, falling into the snow and reflecting in the light of the torches.
When the city guards saw this scene, they immediately reacted: "Be careful, on the other side." Someone shouted.
It was at this time that Fang Plover had left the position where the Mirror Imager was, and went around to a corner not far away to hide. He looked at the reaction of the city guards and gently shook his right hand.
As soon as the city guards turned around, they saw two figures appearing at the other end of the street. They were standing at the exit not far from the alley, but within a moment, the figures disappeared in a flash.
"who!"
"stop!"
The city guards screamed and chased after him with shouts.
Fang Plover frowned as he watched this scene. Because unlike what he imagined, not everyone in the city guard team had moved over. There were only two people left on the street, who were taking out the communication crystal and seemed to be preparing to notify others.
"unlucky"
He didn't expect that he would miss this point, but at this moment, he could only bite the bullet and rush forward. After all, the opportunity would pass quickly, and once others reacted, the situation would be more dangerous than it was now.
And the two city guards obviously didn't expect that there was someone hiding on one side. When they saw Fang Plover rushing out with great momentum, they couldn't help but be stunned. One of them was so frightened that he held the communication crystal in his hand.
I almost dropped it to the ground.
At this time, Fang Yu was also determined to move forward, with only the word "reckless" left in his mind.
Without thinking, he hit one of them in the lower abdomen with a flying rocket punch. He did not kill him, but the city guard was still so painful that he bent over like a shrimp and fell to the ground, unable to get up again.
The other person seemed to have reacted just then, and hurriedly went to draw the sword, but because he was too nervous, he did not pull it out several times.
However, after Fang Yu's left control glove was damaged, he was running away all the way and had no chance to repair it. Naturally, he was unable to send out the second rocket flying fist at this time. However, when he saw the other party in a hurry, he was heartbroken and simply bumped into it.
.
Although the alchemist he introduced had no strength, the opponent was only a level 7 or 8 character. Although he was a strength-based profession, he had no advantage due to the level difference. He was caught off guard and was knocked upside down.
Both of them fell down in the snow.
It’s just that Fang Yu reacted quickly, got up and ran away. The man tried to catch him with his backhand, but missed. At this moment, the city guards on the other side also discovered the Mirror Imager hiding in the alley.
, although they didn’t know what kind of structure it was, they also understood that they had been fooled.
One of them kicked over the construct, heard a noise behind him, and couldn't help but look back, just in time to see Fang Plover knocking down his colleague and running away. He opened his mouth wide, pointed in that direction and shouted
One sound:
"There's someone over there!"
Only then did the city guards turn back.
Almost immediately, Fang Plover heard the sound of gunshots coming from behind him.
But the local defenders of Kaolin-Ithurian naturally only had some mass-produced goods in hand. The accuracy of the whiteboard muskets in the hands of level seven or eight characters can be imagined from a distance of two to three hundred feet.
A bunch of bullets flew by, and Fang Plover was like the protagonist in the story. He saw snow pillars rising around him, but they just couldn't hit. And more bullets didn't even have such a long range, and there was a hail of bullets.
Only far behind it.
But how did Fang Plover know this?
When he heard the gunfire, he was so frightened that he ran away, rushed forty or fifty meters in one breath, and then dived into an alley. As soon as he melted into the darkness, he felt a little sense of security.
However, Fang Yu also knew in his heart that this was just an illusory sense of security. He had attracted the attention of the city guards, and everyone's eyes would be focused in this direction.
In fact, it was pretty much what he imagined.
His appearance was like a drop of water splashing into a pot of hot oil, causing a boil.
The city guards in nearby blocks received news at the same moment that the target had appeared and were breaking out towards the south gate.
Although the consul guarding near the south gate was not very good at military affairs, as the leader of a place, he always had capable people around him. So soon, the entire city guard formed a large net, heading in the direction where Fang Plover might appear.
Surrounded.
But they didn't know it. Just when they vowed that the other party would appear near the south gate, Fang Plover quietly turned in a direction and began to turn back towards the route where the sluice gate was.
But after all, there are so many city guards gathered in the streets and alleys at this moment.
Just when Fang Yu was still silently calculating in his mind that there was still about one street ahead of him. At this moment, a small team of city guards suddenly shot out of the alley.
Fang Yu looked up and saw that there were eight people on the other side, which was exactly the size of a standard team.
In fact, because he was afraid of leading others in his direction, and because Fang Plover did not dare to let the clockwork fairy warn him above his head, when the two sides appeared, they obviously did not expect to run into each other head-on.
Both sides were taken aback.
Then the captain of the city guard over there immediately raised his hand and asked his soldiers to squat down, four in front and three in back, to raise their spears and hold up the muskets in their hands.
However, Fang Yu was not slow to react. He raised his head and glanced behind the city guards. He saw that the exit of another street was in that direction. So his heart sank and he pressed his hand on the storage crystal. The next moment,
A dark blue wall of light suddenly appeared among the crowd.
Those city guards subconsciously pulled the trigger, but the light wall was turning into reality, condensing into a tall structure.
The huge knight held a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, raising the big shield and blocking it in front of everyone. There was a burst of fire, and almost all the bullets that came out of the barrel hit the big shield, but they didn't know the Orphen Twins.
What kind of metal is the giant shield made of? The bullets only left white marks on it.
After a burst of fire and smoke, the city guard raised his head and realized what he had hit.
The huge structure took a step forward under the command of Fang Pliance and stomped heavily on the ground, almost shaking the alley. Only then did the city guard soldiers show panic expressions and subconsciously took two steps back.
Only the captain drew his sword, pressed his hand on the magic furnace behind him, and shouted: "Don't be afraid, follow me."
It was only Fang Yu who was too lazy to care about these people. He ordered Orphen's twin stars to hang their spears behind their backs with a click, then turned around and reached out to lift him up. Then he hugged him with one arm and stepped forward.
The loud rumbling noise and the indomitable giant structure emptied the morale of the city guard soldiers in an instant, and they dispersed. Only the captain moved forward, but it was to no avail. The knight raised his giant shield and knocked him away.
"Get out of my way!"
Fang Plover roared angrily and let the huge Dauntless variant grab him, striding forward. Then suddenly, the huge construct leapt into the air and flew over the low building in front of him.
At that moment, he only felt a strong wind blowing against his face, and the scene in front of him suddenly zoomed in, until Orphen's twin stars fell to the ground with a loud bang.
Of course, this jump was a last resort. Due to its huge weight, the system responded that the structure value of the construct had suffered a considerable loss. And he himself didn't feel very well. He only felt that his internal organs seemed to be shaken away.
He moved to his original position. He opened his mouth and couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Fortunately, this was not because his internal organs were shattered, but because he was too close to the main core crystal of the construct, and the magic erosion almost killed him. However, although this move seemed a bit impressive, Fang Plover
I made up my mind that I would not come here a second time.
He then slipped off the construct knight's hand, held the huge construct and gasped for a while before he came back to his senses.
Fang Plover then had time to look around. Fortunately, there seemed to be no city guards on this last street. It seemed that his strategy worked. Everyone thought they were heading south of the city, but instead
There is a lack of precaution in this direction.
However, in his current state, he could not continue to control the Orphen Twins. In desperation, he could only put away the latter, although at the moment, this was his biggest reliance.
He took a deep breath and then walked forward with some futile steps. There was no one around in the snow, and it seemed that there was only his own rustling footsteps. Until he walked one foot deep and one foot shallow, he reached the street.
Plover raised his head and could vaguely see the city wall on the other side, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally out
He took out a resonance crystal and was about to contact the type II clockwork elf left at Sylvide's side.
But at this moment, Fang Plover froze.
He raised his head and saw a slender figure appearing at the exit of the alley in front of him with some uncertainty.
The man's attire was very simple, just a simple cloak and shawl, and the chain armor underneath didn't seem to even be a magic armor. The man had a big sword on his back, but the sword was not unsheathed, and he was holding something in his hand.
It's the clockwork goblin he used to break through the window not long ago.
The man was slowly pulling down his hood, and when Fang Plover saw the soft blond hair underneath and his heavy eyes, his blood almost froze.
The King of Warriors, Odin.
He had calculated everything, but he never expected that he would bump into such a great god.
Even in his wildest dreams, Fang Yu couldn't figure out why such a big boss would come to such a remote place to cause trouble for him when he didn't take charge of the battle and went to fight against the master Ye Hua? He almost thought he was dreaming, but he patted hard
After looking at it, I realized that everything was true.
Fang Yu didn't speak. He took a step back and subconsciously wanted to escape, but then he realized how he could outrun Odin. But he gritted his teeth and refused to give up even so. He raised his hand and launched a rocket punch at the opponent.
Shoot away.
But it turned out that the opportunity he thought was just that.
Facing a king-level selector, his childish attacks were really ridiculous. Before the rocket flying fist could fly in front of Odin, it seemed to hit a transparent wall.
Fang Yu only knew that it was not a shield and his flying fist fell to the ground feebly.
Odin looked at the young man and was about to take action, but when he saw this scene, he was slightly startled. Then he took a step forward, but Fang Plov's eyes flashed, and the next moment he saw the other person.
has appeared in front of him.
He was shocked and raised his hands to block, but Odin had already passed him.
At that moment, Fang Plover felt a pain in the back of his head, and then everything fell into darkness.
…
Odin watched in silence as the young man fell limply to the ground, then bent down to grab him, thought for a moment, and was about to take him away. But at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the alley.
A voice asked outside: "Mr. Odin, have you found those people?"
Odin was startled for a moment, looked at the person in his hand, was silent for a moment, and then said: "They are not here."
The footsteps outside did not dare to hesitate. After thanking him, he hurriedly left. But Odin stood there for a while, then changed his mind. He dragged Fang Plover to a corner and untied him.
The collar buttons were removed, and the cloak was removed and covered with the young man.
He looked around, straightened up, and walked out of the alley as if there was no one around.
