Fang Plover's figure moved, immediately triggering a chain attack of purple flames.
But when he turned the secret door behind him, his head only hit the rotating stone door axis. Fang Plover felt a huge earthquake behind him, lost his footing, and fell into the pitch black darkness ahead.
There were several steps behind the door, but he missed a step and fell down hard. Fortunately, the steps were not too high, and he only suffered some skin injuries.
The thing was still banging against the door outside, causing the earth to shake in the darkness. There was a sound of dust falling above his head, and Fang Plover could only feel the gravel pouring into his neck and collar.
He coughed twice, got up from the ground, and without caring about the dust, he quickly took out a crystal from his arms and held the lower end firmly.
The dim light of the magic furnace lit up the environment, and the surrounding space seemed to be quite narrow. Then the crystal in his hand also emitted bright soft light, and he turned the crystal behind him, illuminating the stone door in that direction.
Every impact outside caused the heavy stone door to shake violently, and a layer of gray mist rose up on the surrounding walls. However, the stone door was nearly two meters thick and was not damaged at all under the impact.
Fang Plover raised the crystal and looked carefully at the four corners of the stone door. He saw that the black bugs under the cracks had no intention of penetrating in, and then he completely relaxed.
But he didn't dare to stay longer, turned around, and the light of the crystal in his hand extended toward the depths of darkness. Using light crystal requires injecting magic power. There are concerns about detecting spells, but deep underground, there are not so many concerns.
.
There seemed to be a corridor in front of him. The corridor was only as tall as him. Even he had to be slightly shorter to avoid bumping his head. The corridor was only as wide as three people on either side.
I don't know which direction this corridor leads to.
There was a secret passage behind the secret door. This was not beyond his expectation, but Fang Yu suddenly remembered:
The previous hall was originally under the stairs, one level deeper than the tunnel above. And the height difference was not marked on the log. If the secret door above is on this floor, does it mean that there is actually a tunnel below Idos?
Are there any deeper dungeons?
The thing outside the door has not left yet, and vibrations are coming from behind. However, after walking for a while, the vibrations have gradually weakened. Fang Yu's nervous mood gradually calmed down, and then he remembered something and hurriedly took out his
He immediately discovered that the communication crystal could not light up because it was broken in the previous impact or there was some magic restriction in the ground.
Fang Yu was startled for a moment, and quickly opened the Selector System. A window with a faint fluorescent light appeared in his field of vision as expected, showing his physical signs. His condition was relatively stable, but he suffered some contusions.
The system can still be used, but the community cannot be opened.
"What's going on, Miss Tata?"
"The crystal is not damaged, but the communication seems to be interfered with, Mr. Knight." Tata emerged from his shoulder, with a lazy and unawakened look on her face, and several pages of windows flashed past her green eyes.
, and then opened his mouth to answer.
His tone was as calm as boiled water.
Fang Yu couldn't help but complain: "This otherworld communication is really difficult to use, and the charges are so expensive."
"Papa."
After some tossing, Nini woke up and reached out for him to hug.
But Fang Yu was not in the mood to pay attention to this little girl, so he only said a few perfunctory words to her, making the latter look extremely aggrieved.
The corridor ahead seemed to be endless. Fang Plover was a little worried and summoned a powerful angel to block the front. Tata kept checking the communication status on his shoulder and did not speak for a while. There was an unusual silence between the two of them.
Nini probably realized that her 'sister' and 'Papa' had something serious to do, so she lowered her head and fiddled with the corners of her clothes with her hands, obediently and quietly.
I don’t know how long I walked, but Tata blinked her long eyelashes lightly and suddenly said: "Okay."
When she said it was good, she meant that communication had been restored, but only to the extent that the community could be opened. Silvid and Attila were still unable to be contacted. And even so, it was still intermittent.
It feels like the interference to communication has weakened a bit, but it still exists.
Fang Yu was picking up the diary and comparing it with the map under the light of the crystal. The corridor on the map also extended forward. In fact, the direction was exactly the way they came, which meant that he might be directly below the road they came from.
If Sylvide and the others had escaped, they might still be on top of him right now.
However, Fang Plover had no intention of shouting upwards, not to mention whether it could be transmitted up through the thick rock top, and who knew whether something terrible might emerge from the darkness ahead.
After the previous encounter, he no longer dared to underestimate this place. What was the 'nightmare' and why was it here? What was the 'ash' and why was it together with the purple flame?
God knows what lies beneath Idus.
But at this moment, Nini, who had always been obedient and quiet, suddenly raised her head and said to him in a sweet voice: "Papa, Ge."
Fang Plover was slightly startled.
"Papa, sing." Nini said again.
Fang Yu heard it clearly and couldn't help but smile bitterly. How could he be in the mood to sing at the moment? But he suddenly realized that Nini had never heard him sing before. She had only heard Tianlan sing. How could he suddenly let him sing?
What about singing?
"Nini," Fang Plover couldn't help but ask, "Did you hear anything?"
Nini nodded seriously, put her hands next to her pointed ears, making a "listening" gesture, and then said to him: "Tianlan, sing."
Why is Tianlan in this place? Fang Yu was full of doubts. He looked at Tata, but the latter shook his head. Tata is a fairy dragon soul, and his perception ability is much inferior to Nini. At best, he is on the same level as him.
That’s all.
He looked ahead again, and once again slowed down his pace and walked forward. Nengang easily opened the way in front, making less noise than he did.
After walking about a hundred meters, Fang Plover estimated by himself, he finally vaguely heard the 'song'. It was a meaningful, long song, the sound was thin and melodious, and it was not at all like Sky Blue.
Tone-deaf voice.
Only then did Fang Yu realize that Nini had only heard Tian Lan sing, so she probably thought that only Tian Lan could sing, which was why there was such a misunderstanding.
The song came from afar, not loud, but very clear, as if lingering in people's minds. It was almost like the song of the legendary sirens, but this song does not make people ecstatic.
After listening to it for a while, Fang Yu simply thought it sounded good.
He then continued to walk in that direction. It was a bit strange that as he gradually approached the source of the singing, the voice did not increase much, as if the singer was gradually lowering his singing voice as he approached.
After walking a few more steps, the front suddenly opens up.
Fang Yu saw a hall that was almost exactly the same as the previous square hall, except that a skylight was embedded above the hall, and a soft white light fell from the window hole, reflecting a rock in the center of the hall.
The huge rock was originally part of the broken ceiling above the hall, and now it stands alone in the center of the hall.
Under the soft light, Fang Plover looked at a girl wearing a linen robe, sitting half on the rock, holding one hand on her chest, closing her eyes, and singing in a low voice. She had a very unique black hair.
Her long sandalwood hair, like a jet-black waterfall, hangs down from her slender neck to her snow-white feet.
Fang Plover walked into the hall, which seemed to alarm the girl. She turned around and her long eyelashes blinked slightly. But Fang Plover could see clearly that the girl still had her eyes closed and was looking in this direction.
"Yao Xiude, is that you?"
The girl asked, her voice as beautiful as her singing voice.
Fang Yu was startled for a moment. About Xiude, are you talking about the legendary dragon-slaying hero? He was hesitating whether to speak, but the girl suddenly reacted. She couldn't help but chuckle, and the laughter was like a string.
The silver bell fell to the ground: "It turns out it's not Yue Xiude. Sorry, I've been waiting here for a long time. Every time someone comes, I get the wrong person again."
Fang Yu looked at the other person's closed eyes and thought that she couldn't see. This girl was blind, and he couldn't help but feel a little pity.
But he immediately realized that what he should be concerned about shouldn't be this. Who is the other party and why is he deep underground? She said that every time someone came, she would recognize the wrong person again.
Does this mean he is not the only one who has been here?
He couldn't help but look up at the skylight above the hall. Where did the light above come from? Is the surface of Idos outside? But it doesn't look like it. Let's not say that this place should be located on the same ground as the hall outside.
Depth, and it must be night on the ground in Idos right now?
He calmed down and looked at the girl.
The girl's appearance was somewhat pretty, and combined with her long eyelashes and closed eyes, she gave people a feeling of weakness. But when Fang Yu looked carefully, he faintly felt that the other person's appearance seemed to be somewhat similar to that of Sylvester.
Similarities.
He couldn't help but rub his eyes, wondering if he had seen it wrong. The feeling was not obvious, but more like a psychological suggestion, fleeting.
"Are you waiting for someone here?" he asked.
The girl nodded.
"Is the person you are waiting for named Yue Xiude?" he asked again.
"Yes, have you seen him?" The girl's voice was slightly surprised: "He asked me to wait for him here, but I waited for a long time, and he never came back. I don't know how long I have to wait, can you
Tell me where he is?"
Fang Yu was a little surprised. He thought that this girl was a ghost from the era of the Dragon Witch. But the ghost should be afraid of light, and the other party didn't feel like a spirit at all. Unfortunately, he didn't have any means to detect the undead.
, there is no way to know this even if you look at the other person from a distance.
He took a few steps closer and asked: "I do know a Yoshid, but he has been away from here for a long time. He is the dragon-slaying hero of Kaolin-Ithurian. This is the Yoshid you know.
Are you alone?"
The girl was slightly startled: "Dragon-slaying hero? Others have told me so. It turns out that he really became a hero after leaving here. But did he tell you when he would come back?"
The more Fang Yu listened, the more strange she became. She was filled with doubts. Others had also told her so. Could it be that many people had really been to this place? But didn't those people tell her that Yue Xiude had passed away for more than seventy years?
He thought for a moment before replying: "If you are really talking about this dragon-slaying hero, then he can't come back. As far as I know, he has been dead for many years, and I have never even met this dragon-slaying hero."
The heroic side of slaying the dragon."
The girl couldn't help but laugh: "You are wrong, Yuexiude will not die. He hasn't come back to me yet. He always does what he says. Since you know that he is a hero, you should know it very well.
That’s it.”
Fang Yu couldn't help but be speechless. This logic was very good and powerful.
However, there was a faint feeling in his heart. He was almost sure that this girl must be a ghost who died in the Dragon Witch disaster. She might have had a certain relationship with Yu Xiude during her lifetime. She had been waiting here for the dragon-slaying hero to come back.
she.
But the world outside is changing, and the once prosperous city has long been turned into ruins under the gravel. Over a hundred years, even the legendary hero himself has long been turned into a withered skeleton. Only his sword is left, and he quietly
The Dragon Knight construct parked on top of Vanrick's Spire
Still telling the story of the past.
And this girl, in the ruins under the sand, is waiting forever for the end of that story. Maybe she doesn't even know the fact that she is dead, right?
"Kind stranger," the girl closed her eyes and asked again: "I have been waiting down here for a long time. I don't know when it became like this. I am not afraid, but can you please
Do me a favor?"
Fang Yu raised his head, looked at the other person and asked, "What can I do for you?"
The girl pressed her belly with her hand, a little embarrassed on her face: "I seem to have not eaten for a long time. Can you give me some food first?"
Fang Yu was slightly startled. Does the ghost also need to eat? However, he looked at the girl's expression and did not seem to be faking it, so he groped around for a while. He actually didn't have anything to eat, only a few emergency biscuits.
He took out the biscuits, but the girl didn't seem to mind and got off the rock. Fang Yu looked carefully and found that the other party actually left a series of footprints. She walked barefoot on the dust, but not a trace of dust was stained on her feet.
The girl took the biscuit from his hand, held it up and bit off a small corner, and then, as if remembering something, she raised her head and thanked him.
She said: "I haven't eaten for a long time, about two or three days...? If I hadn't met you, I really don't know what I would have done."
Fang Yu was filled with surprise. When he handed the biscuits to the other party, he felt that the girl's hand was tangible when he touched it. Although it was ice cold, there was still a hint of warmth. This completely overturned the previous feeling in his heart.
Assumption.
Could this really be a living person?
But how is this possible? Who can wait underground for a century? Even if she can live that long, she should have realized what happened outside, right? This is too ridiculous.
It was at this time that Fang Plover heard Tata's voice first:
"Mr. Knight, communication has been restored."
Fang was stunned for a moment, and Miss Tata added: "It's just that the communication crystal still can't contact Miss Atila, but we should be able to send information through the community."
This was an unexpected surprise. He couldn't help but look at the girl in front of him who was chewing the biscuit in her hand. The latter looked like a treasure, as if she had never eaten such a delicious thing, even though it was just ordinary.
Just compressed biscuits.
And born out of elf craftsmanship.
Fang Yu felt vaguely that this place was a bit strange.
He looked at the square hall again and confirmed that it was exactly the same shape as the hall outside, except for the skylight above his head. But what exactly was outside the skylight was unknown.
He resisted the urge to take out the clockwork goblin to find out. But the communication in the community happened to be restored, allowing him to find a way to contact other people, report the situation here, and see Jita and Sylvie
Have you ever heard of this situation?
At least, of course, he didn't completely trust the self-introduction of the girl in front of him. After all, the other party also appeared too weird.
When he saw that the girl was not paying attention to him, he quietly opened the selector system and entered the community. Tian Lan, Luo Yu, Jita and Xiang, the selectors naturally had their own IDs in the community, and even
Parker has been playing in the Chinese competition area and has registered one. Naturally, everyone has already added him as a friend.
But before Fang Yu opened the friend bar, he was already startled because after entering the personal center, he found that he had an extra private message from a stranger.
The time on the private message was actually sent half a week ago. Because it was a stranger, it was judged by the system as advertising letter and was scanned into the temporary mailbox. And Miss Tata would not look through his mail on weekdays.
Private message, that’s why I didn’t find such a letter.
On normal days, Fang Yu would probably turn a blind eye to this kind of 'spam', but after he accidentally glanced at the sender, he couldn't look away. The sender's ID can be said to be very simple, there is only one
letter:
'r'
But just such a letter was enough to make Fang Plover freeze in place.
After he came to Aitaria, he changed his ID twice in the community. The first time was when he got the communication crystal for the first time. In order to prevent his identity from being exposed, he gave up his previous ID and registered a new one.
Number.
The second time was after the Fenris incident, because the communication crystal was damaged and he had to change his ID.
As for these two IDs, according to his own habit, he immediately sent a friend application to his mysterious teacher 'r' in the community. Of course, in fact, he did not expect the other party to add him, because
Since the last time I met 'r' on the community about two years ago, he has never been online again.
The reason why he sent the friend request was actually just a habitual move. After all, ‘r’ had taught him so many things, and he was quite grateful to him deep down in his heart.
If he had the chance, of course he really wanted to see each other again.
But he didn't expect that he would actually see the private message sent to him on the community at this time.
