Fang Yu stood there and thought silently for a moment, but still had no clue. He heard Bai Jia questioning someone at the side. At this time, Sylvide pushed him gently and asked him to raise his head.
"who are you looking for?"
"I want to meet Mr. Ed."
"So do you know him?"
"I played with him."
Fang Yu looked at the young man not far away and the group of people behind him, and realized that it was the team from Yis. He had even given them an all-purpose plug-in at that time.
"Is it you?"
He couldn't help but be stunned. He thought that the other party had gone back to the hotel, and he never wanted to stay in the square. But luckily he didn't go back. Van Rick's hotels were mostly concentrated in the lower city area between the port and the central square. Those who went back
Most of them have been in bad luck, lost the star and resurrected.
When the young man saw him, he quickly replied: "Mr. Ed, I heard that you are looking for someone."
When Fang Yu heard this, he immediately asked: "Yes, have you seen that person?"
When Bai Jia saw that Fang Plover knew these people, he put down his hand and let them pass.
The young man nodded: "Mr. Ed, if you are looking for your opponent at that time, we saw him leading some people towards the museum."
Fang Plover couldn't help but look east. The vault of the tall building was shining in the sun, and it could be seen clearly from a few blocks away. That was the Vanrich Alchemy Museum, and its history was not very clear.
A long time ago, it was built after the earthlings came to this world. It is only seventeen years old from today. Compared to this city, it can even be said to be very young.
But why did he go to the museum? The purpose of this type of alchemy museum is to display the history of the development of alchemy in a place. Most of the things inside are closely related to the changes in alchemical technology. In short, they are all antiques.
, there won’t be anything valuable in it, it’s just some localized alchemy tools and works.
Some people may say that the ancient relics of Numelin are not worth mentioning, but most of the ancient relics are flashy, backward in technology, or incompatible with the current technological landscape. And even if there are ancient relics in Numelin, they will not be put away.
In such a museum, most of them are hidden in the deepest part of the Elfendor Tower by the alchemists of the Elfendor Council.
This thought flashed through his mind, just for a fleeting moment. Thinking of this, he turned back and asked: "Who did he go there with? What are the characteristics of those people?"
"Those people were wearing gray robes, and there were no conspicuous emblems on them. However, there was a battle in the square at that time, and when one of them passed through the city guards, his robe was inadvertently lifted up, and I happened to see under the man's robe.
The attire seems to be from the Throne of Shadows." The young man thought for a moment and then added: "But he is not a contestant from the Throne of Shadows. I saw that the contestants from the Throne of Shadows are still in the square."
Hearing that Luo Lin was with the people from the Throne of Shadows, Fang Plover's heart skipped a beat. His first reaction was his premonition experience. The uneasy feeling before seemed to rise again. He calmed himself down first and asked: "You
What is your name?"
"My name is Tuya, and this is my ID."
"So Tuya, can you take responsibility for what you said?" Fang Pliance asked.
Tuya hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "I'm not completely sure. By the way, those people seemed to have rings on their hands, and they were in the same position, but they were too far apart and I couldn't see clearly." He looked at them.
To the others: "They can all testify."
Everyone nodded.
Hearing the ring, Fang Plover couldn't help but think of the form of the Dragon Cult's emblem that he had seen in Dolifen.
Generally speaking, there are three ways for the Dragon Worshipers to prove their identity. The first is the brooch they first obtained from the Black Goat Chamber of Commerce.
However, it was only later that they figured out that the brooch was the most direct identification of the Dragon Worship Cult. Each brooch was given by the superior 'mentor' within the Dragon Worship Cult. One of the emblems corresponded to a believer, and there would never be any duplication of identities.
Case.
The loyalty of believers is often the sole responsibility of the 'mentor' who introduced them to the religion. One 'mentor' is responsible for three believers. This almost single-line recruitment method makes the internal structure of the Dragon Worship Cult extremely tight. Unless one is found.
The general person in charge of the region, otherwise arresting one or two lower-level followers of the Dragon Worship Cult will not cause any harm to the organization itself.
As for the second way for the Dragon Cult to prove their identity, it is to wear a cloak with the mark of the Dragon Cult. However, they will only wear such cloaks in gatherings and public activities to facilitate the identification of the enemy and ourselves.
The most direct example is during the Battle of Dollifon, when almost all followers of the Dragon Cult were wearing such cloaks.
The last category is rings.
Because the ring is the most secretive and easy to wear, it is often used in secret activities and contacts to verify each other's identities. As soon as Fang Yu heard the other party talking about the ring, he almost immediately thought of this.
He further speculated that these people should have taken advantage of the chaos and left the square when the military and the city guards were fighting.
But what on earth were they going to do in the direction of the museum?
At this time, a young man among the pedestrians suddenly said: "Actually, there is one thing that I don't think everyone pays attention to."
Fang Yu was stunned and couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?"
"The most conspicuous building in that direction is of course the Van Rijk Museum, but the Rose Workshop workshop is also nearby."
Fang Yu was shocked after hearing this. He had never heard of such a thing. He couldn't help but look at Sylvester who was standing aside. He saw the noble daughter frowning and thinking for a moment before replying: "That's true.
, but it is just a branch of Rose Workshop in the city, and it is only a property that belongs to the Xilin-Spika family in name, but in fact there is nothing valuable in it."
"But I heard there are many tourists there on weekdays."
"That's right."
"But there is a teleportation array inside that can lead directly to the upper level of Elfendor."
"It's the seventy-seventh floor, and dozens of floors further up is the airport area," Sylvide replied: "But now that the entire Elfendor has lost its energy, the teleportation array can no longer be used."
But Fang Plover suddenly raised his head.
A deep light flashed in his eyes, the 77th floor of the Elffindor Spire, and the word immediately came into his mind. He had heard of this place, not only heard about it, he even went there in the past few days.
Once.
Because that is the observation hall of Elfendor Spire.
There is a spacious exhibition hall in the hall, which can also be regarded as a small museum. It is only open to visitors on public days. On the viewing platform there, you can not only have a panoramic view of the entire Vanrick and a corner of the Long Lake, but also
In the hall, some of the proud history of the Elfendor Council is also displayed.
It even includes the story that a hundred years ago, during the battle in the Ash Mountain Forest, the three major families in the South, including the Elfendor Council, tried their best to help the legendary dragon-slaying hero.
In that legendary battle, Yoshid cut off one of Nicol Bolas's horns and claws, and stabbed Nicol Bolas with one of his dragon's golden eyes. The severed horn later became Yoshid's
Descendants guarded it for generations until it was taken away by Nicol Bolas at Traveller's Rest.
But the chopped off claw belongs to the parliament.
The alchemists at that time imitated the behavior of the dwarves in displaying the bones of the Dragon King in the Forge Hall, and equipped the claws of the demon dragon with an alchemical skeleton and also displayed it for the world to commemorate the events at that time.
Every hero who died in the war.
The place where the Demonic Dragon's Claw is displayed is naturally the sightseeing hall.
He suddenly realized that he had overlooked this detail.
Perhaps it was because the other party used all kinds of tricks and tricks to attract everyone's attention to the core of the ice-feldspar tower. Of course, the invasion of the sticklebacks and Korath, and the disappearance of the city barrier, all
Being so closely linked to each other also makes people ignore these more important things.
Fang Yu felt almost intuitively that this might be the true purpose of the Dragon Worship Cult.
He also instantly confirmed Luo Lin's identity.
He asked in a low voice: "Is the teleportation array a two-way teleportation array or one-way?"
"It's one-way," the man replied: "I am very interested in teleportation arrays and have studied alchemy teleportation arrays in various places."
Fang Yu couldn't help but feel his heart sink when he heard this.
To achieve two-way transmission, a one-way teleportation array requires two magic circles, one outer and one inner. He can completely understand the designer's idea. When an emergency occurs, the craftsman can close the outer magic circle, so that he can stay in Alfen
The magic circle within multiple spires will become a one-way magic circle that can only send out but not in.
This will be extremely beneficial to the defending side when adverse conditions occur.
At the same time, due to the existence of the defensive barrier in the Elfendor Spire, it can also prevent enemies from directly entering the tower after mastering the outer magic circle. But the problem is that no one would have thought that one day the enemy would come from the Parliament.
As a result, Elfendor's defense collapsed from within.
At this moment, the energy supply method for the two separate magic circles will naturally not use the ice feldspar in the Elfendor Spire. Presumably, the external magic circle has a dedicated main core crystal in the workshop to supply power.
This will lead to a terrible result
The defensive barrier in the Elfendor Spire has failed, but the outer magic circle at the Rose Workshop can actually be transmitted into the tower until it reaches the sightseeing hall. And because of the failure of the defensive barrier, the hall is almost completely closed at the moment.
It is equivalent to an undefended state.
And due to the inertia of thinking, in fact not many people seem to realize this at the moment.
When Bai Jia heard this, his face became serious for the first time, and he immediately said: "I have to inform the captain immediately."
"Then is it too late for us to return to Elfendor now?" Everyone in Yisi did not expect that there was such a huge conspiracy hidden behind this, and they all seemed very nervous for a while. As life professionals, they had never expected anything from Yisi.
Si's trip to Vanric was probably their biggest adventure since they became the Chosen Ones.
But when did you think that you would be involved in such an incident?
"No." Fang Plover replied.
He raised his head and looked at the spire under the blue sky. The white tower towering into the clouds and densely surrounded by windows, it was impossible to tell which floor was the seventy-seventh floor from the ground.
He couldn't help but feel a little dizzy for a moment.
After finally retracting his gaze, Fang Yu replied: "Elfendor is connected to the upper and lower floors through three elevators, one of which leads directly to the airport area, but these elevators require the main core crystal to be working.
Can be driven."
"Don't they have a backup source of magic power?"
"Yes," it was Sylvide who answered this time, "but it will take half an hour to start."
At this time, Bai Jia also put down the communication crystal and said to them with a stern face: "All the combat craftsmen have gone to the front line. It will take at least a quarter of an hour for them to get back, and the front line is tight, so they may not be able to get away."
Everyone couldn't help but remain silent after hearing this.
Everyone deeply felt the meticulousness of the other's plan, and everyone present was in a state of confusion.
The battle craftsman cannot return, which means that the backup aerospace ship cannot be activated. Although the magician and the elementalist can also fly short distances, it is almost impossible to fly to the seventy-seventh floor, a height of nearly two to three hundred meters.
impossible things.
When Fang Yu heard this, he walked towards the east of the square without saying a word. Seeing this, the others probably guessed what he was thinking and followed him one by one. Only Bai Jia called out from behind.
Asked them: "Wait a minute, where are you going?"
"Go to the workshop."
"Is it too late now?"
Fang Yu shook his head: "I don't know, but I can't sit still and wait for death."
"The workshop is also in the flooded area," Bai Jia replied: "There may have been sticklebacks over there. I'm afraid you won't be able to get there like this."
Bai Jia looked at the others calmly and replied: "You are professionals, it is best to stay and inform others to see if anyone is willing to go with me."
Then she looked at Fang Yu: "You too, stay here, I will go on your behalf."
"But you can't activate the teleportation array," Fang Yu replied, "I am a combat craftsman."
Bai Jia was startled.
She only thought for a moment before nodding: "Okay, then I'll go with you."
Fang Luo looked at Sylvester again and saw that the ship officer had pulled out the silver gun from behind her back. She looked at him and smiled slightly. "That workshop is the property of the Xilin-Spica family." She said.
With just one sentence, he stopped what he said next.
Fang Yu opened his mouth, looked at the two of them, and could only nod.
"Just do it"
The group of people immediately dispersed.
In the live broadcast room, when an accident occurs, the front-line staff are instructed to start recycling equipment. After all, they are here to live broadcast the game, not the accident.
It just takes some time to put away the projection crystals and clockwork fairies everywhere, so there is still a picture in the live broadcast room at this moment. However, there is no staff to adjust the angle of view at this time, so the camera is always located in the square.
Most of the audience in the live broadcast room has dispersed, while the remaining people are looking at the chaotic square and discussing everything that happened before. After all, such things are rare in their real lives.
But at this time, someone suddenly said:
"Look, something seems to have happened over there."
Everyone followed the sound and immediately saw a group of people leaving the square. The leader, whom they happened to know, was Fang Plover.
"What did they go to do?"
People couldn't help but be stunned.
On the square, staff were putting away a clockwork fairy.
Naturally, he also noticed the commotion in the corner of the square, but the aboriginal affairs had nothing to do with him. He just glanced in that direction indifferently, and then planned to put the tools back into the box.
But at this moment, a hand stretched out from the side and held down his hand. The staff member was startled, and when he looked back, he realized that it was the person in charge of the team.
"Wait a minute," the other party said. He also looked in that direction and gestured lightly with his hand: "Let the goblin fly over and take a look."
"But"
"Don't worry, I will take care of any responsibilities."
…
Fang Yu finally adopted Bai Jia's suggestion.
He informed the Elfendor Council and the military of his analysis, and both sides quickly came to a conclusion that was almost consistent with his.
However, while they were arranging manpower there, the council directly gave him the highest authority, and Su Changfeng also gave him full authority to mobilize the adventurers in the square, so Fang Plover quickly pulled up a team.
However, he thought twice and finally rejected Sophie's suggestion to join the team.
"Sister Bai Jia can go, why can't I?" This made the Princess of Silver Vislan very dissatisfied: "Do you have any objections to me and Qian?"
Fang Yu could only explain to the other party that after all, the square still needed a reliable person to be responsible for the work of the selector.
After having so many interactions with the Dragon Cult, he also learned to be cautious in case the other party had any back-up tactics. Although Sophie reluctantly accepted this statement, Dian Mingming still treated him coldly for a while.
.
Fang Yu asked Luo Yu and Jita to stay in the square. Firstly, it was out of the same consideration, and secondly, it was convenient to get in touch with Miss Atila and others. After that, he joined the others.
Heading towards the Van Rijk Museum.
In fact, not far from there is Jackdaw Street. They experienced a battle here a few days ago, and the traces left by the battle at that time are still clearly visible. Not to mention the ruins of the buildings, which will not be there in a few days.
It may be cleaned up.
And walking through this place again for the second time, Fang Yu felt a little emotional. In fact, he suspected that he was having some kind of bad luck, why he couldn't feel uneasy wherever he went, and such a thing happened in just a few days.
Happened twice?
But this time, the journey was much calmer than the last time.
In fact, they didn't encounter any enemies until they reached the small square in front of the Van Rijk Museum. The ghosts of that day seemed to have vanished into ashes under the sun today, leaving no traces.
It's just that Fang Yu knew in his heart that going forward would not be so easy.
The block in front of the Van Rijk Museum is called Wave Avenue. I don’t know if it’s because of this unfortunate name. When the floods came in before, the flooded area just ended at this street.
As Fang Plover, Bai Jia, and Sylvide passed through an alley, they saw gurgling water passing across the stone slabs. Further down, there was a low-lying land, which looked like a marsh country from a distance.
"The water is waist deep." At this time, an adventurer waded back from the front and said to everyone: "You can swim through the water."
Fang Plover also took back the clockwork fairy, looked ahead, and said to everyone: "Be careful, there seems to be signs of murloc activity to the southeast of us."
