"Perhaps this is what the end of the world will look like." The young man muttered to himself as he gazed out the arched window with a heavy gaze under the wizard's hat.
In the distance, an earthy gray tower stands between the turbid sky and the earth. The wind pulls the sand into straight lines. The world seems to be eternally dark, making it difficult to tell whether it is day or night. In the distance, there is a wind-driven road.
The dancing curtain may be the flag of Istania, or it may be the prayer flags of the Andromeda Temple.
At this time, this scene can't help but make people wonder, is the ancient Sleeper still protecting this land? And the believers are praying firmly, and the chanting echoes under the majestic cathedral. Maybe
In a few days, this dust storm will pass, the raised sand and gravel will return to the dust sea, and everything will return to its previous track, but will the gods just watch all this day after day, even until the disaster star comes?
that moment.
Aitalia has experienced two disasters. What did people get from the disaster, what did the world get, what does the disaster star mean, and why does it come to this world again and again? Everything is like
It is an unknown mystery. The wind blows suddenly outside across the wall, as if a low howl is coming from a distant direction. Under the power of nature, people always spontaneously feel small, so small that people can't stop thinking.
.
Are the two worlds really irrelevant to each other, and how can they really stay out of the upcoming disaster?
"Let's go." Fang pulled the guy back to prevent him from continuing to fall in love.
"It's just a dust storm. We also have such weather on Earth."
"But dust storms on Earth cannot reach this level. The central wind speed is as fast as nearly 200 kilometers per hour. The dust storm raised almost covers the entire north of the Silver Sand Sea. It is the strongest black storm ever recorded in the history of the Earth.
'It's not such an exaggeration." Luo Yu looked at the last content left before the community was disconnected, and suddenly said: "The ether between heaven and earth is extremely violent, like waves rising on the originally calm sea. Astrologers
In hundreds of years of history, nothing like this has ever been recorded."
"I can even feel the elements fearing. They seem to be running away from something." Luo Yu turned around and looked at him, his eyes steady in his dark pupils: "I don't know if it's my imagination, Captain. But in theory, the elements
The envoys can feel the state of the elements, they are indeed... shivering."
"I don't know how to describe this state, but 'trembling' is the only adjective I can think of. It feels like a drastic change is taking place in the world."
Fang felt a little surprised. He knew that Luo Yu was different from the box. It was not a necessary situation. He rarely spoke. And the way he looked at the other party, Luo Yu seemed to be... uneasy?
"What are you worried about?" he couldn't help but ask.
This is just a dust storm. There have been more than one dust storm like this in Istania's history. The intensity of dust storms on Earth may not be as exaggerated as this, but the two are different worlds in themselves.
In Aitaria, the natural climate is also influenced by the magic of ether. The hot and dry climate in the west of Kaolin is itself brought about by the prevailing westerly wind blowing from the Harina Sea.
Changed by the warm sea breeze containing the elements of fire and air, it is no accident that this place has the largest number of fire warlocks and elementalists in the entire Corin Ithurian.
Luo Yu shook his head. This kind of worry is more like an uneasy intuition. It may not be correct. Just like when people are quiet at night, they may become suspicious for a moment because of sudden changes in the environment.
After hearing what the other party said, Fang actually had a flash of doubt in his heart, but he was the captain after all, and he had to distinguish priorities.
"Okay, let's settle the immediate matter first," he said, "otherwise, even if this sandstorm happens, it has nothing to do with us."
Luo Yu nodded.
The sandstorm spread a thin layer of soil in the long and narrow walkway, which unexpectedly produced a sound insulation effect when the three of them walked up, as if the silent footsteps of a cat were walking in this dark, long and narrow walkway.
The dust storms passing outside the window are like walking in a turbid corridor of time.
This place is close to the center of the inner city. It leads to a tower near the inner city through a corridor that leads to the nearby city wall. This is the only path leading to the inner city that can be observed before, and it is relatively safe.
One of the routes. Although he did not choose to go deeper at that time, he was certain that there would be guards there.
Except for the roar of the wind outside, it was a bit unnervingly quiet here. There were no sentries or patrolling guards as expected, and the defense was much weaker than expected.
Fang instinctively felt that the guarding force here might have been mobilized.
He thought of a possibility, which meant that part of his expected goal might have been achieved.
After a while, a rustling sound suddenly came from the front. It was a fork in the city wall. Outside, there was a horse track exposed to the sandstorm. The entrance was about one meter high from the ground. Fang saw a black figure climbing up from there.
The other party pushed his body up with some difficulty, raised his head and saw them, and couldn't help but show a look of surprise:
"Boss, are you here?"
Fang took a closer look and saw who it wasn't Wu Xiaopang.
This guy's life is really big.
Wu Xiaopang was followed by zx and two other members of Lufu's Shield.
As soon as the little fat man saw Fang Fang, he sighed again: "Boss, I'm afraid the others can't come, but the good news is that at least no one was caught. We all escaped into the sandstorm, and those who didn't escape will have to do it ourselves."
It’s over. Some of us were separated again in the sandstorm, and zx and I finally found the direction and came here."
They had agreed to meet here, but Fang had thought early on that there might not be many people who could actually get here. After all, the level of the people in Lufu's Shield was about the same as the guards here. To lure them away, they had to go through a sandstorm.
It was really too difficult for them.
Most of the people who are resurrected in the temple will not be able to escape the hands of the mystics in the end, but under the current weather, it is actually possible to say that. And as long as a few people escape, the remaining people will be safe.
This should be the point that the other party is most afraid of right now.
Wu Xiaopang took a breath and said again: "Boss, you guessed it right. After you rescued the others from behind, they found that they couldn't catch us, so they shrank back. If not for this, we would have really
It’s hard to escape, boss, are they really taking Miss Kita as a hostage and waiting for us to come?”
How can you say this kind of thing accurately?
But Fang felt that this was probably the case. After the other party found out that playing hide and seek with them was fruitless and noticed their intentions, they would naturally think of using the remaining chips in their hands. And he learned from Miss Afifa and Wu Xiaopang, etc.
After comparing the information, it was found that among the people captured by the mystic so far, except Ji Ta, everyone else has actually been rescued.
Then the only remaining Jita who has not yet been rescued is the only place where the opponent can make a fuss.
Very good idea.
It's a pity that they don't plan to follow each other's script.
Wu Xiaopang also chuckled: "If these guys really think so, then we might really give them a surprise next. Boss, they really want to send all the guard forces to that place and wait for us.
Throwing ourselves into a trap, does that mean we can travel unhindered from now on? Is this killing two birds with one stone?"
Fang glanced at this guy and thought it would be as simple as that. But I'm afraid the other party doesn't need so many people. Is it possible for more than 2,000 people to set up a trap?
But in fact, as long as the mystics mobilize enough temple knights, it will be enough for them.
The rest are the bodyguards of the Earl in the inner city. What is the rank and level of these people, and how many are there? If they can avoid these bodyguard knights who belong to the owner of this place, then their next actions can indeed be said.
There isn't much of an obstacle.
Zx was obviously much calmer than Wu Xiaopang. He looked around and asked, "Can this place lead to the inner city? Where does that young lady live? How can we determine?"
"This is not a problem. As long as we enter the inner city, I will have my own solution."
Fang answered confidently. As a combat craftsman, it is not a complicated matter for him to find the target as quickly as possible in a place with complex terrain, especially with his multi-control ability, he can even spend this time
Shorten it to the shortest. As the place where the city lord lives, the environment in the inner city should be much better than this place with ventilation on all sides.
As long as he can use flexible construction, nothing will be a problem.
The premise is how to get to the inner city.
But he was also confident about this.
"As for how to get to the inner city, I have already explored it before and even drew a map." Fang fumbled with his hands for a while, and suddenly his face changed. Oh no! He suddenly remembered that he had pretended to be cool and lost the map.
Yes, the map only marked the locations of those dungeons, but the back also showed how to enter the inner city.
He was a little confused for a moment, thinking that he could hide all the birds and hide the bow, but he never expected that even though the bow was hidden, the birds were not gone yet.
But how could he have the nerve to say such a thing? Fang coughed and said bravely: "The map... I have the map in my mind. You just need to follow me."
zx and Wu Xiaopang nodded together, without any doubt.
Fortunately, Fang found that his memory was still reliable. It was probably a place he had personally explored after all, so it was not so easy to forget. Although he went to the wrong place several times in a row, he still had some vague impressions.
The box muttered something:
"Have we been to this place before?"
"Why are you here again?"
Luo Yu was heard looking at this guy with a strange expression. He had probably guessed what was going on, but he was too embarrassed to say it.
Fang winked at this guy frantically, but the latter just couldn't get it, which made him extremely crazy. He had basically already thought about how to release this guy in the subsequent battle.
However, the troubled journey finally came to an end when they finally met Luo Hao who came to join them.
Because Luo Hao still has the map they copied from that time.
Seeing that this fat military man could actually escape and join them, Fang was actually surprised, but also felt that it was reasonable. What was surprising was that given the opponent's level and a cumbersome profession like the Iron Guard, if he wanted to join them,
There is really little hope of escaping from the Mystic's hands.
But what makes sense is that this guy once performed extraordinary. If everyone in Lufu's Shield has a chance to escape, the possibility of the other party's escape will obviously be greater.
According to the map, Fang finally found the corridor leading to the city wall. The terrain in this fortress was too complicated. It was probably intentionally set up by humans, and there were many similar scenes. If it weren't for the map, sometimes it would have just happened
Where they walked, they were not sure whether they would come back again.
However, this also covered up the previous mistakes, making several people in Lufu's Shield think that the situation just now was the same.
The corridor runs through darkness.
This is actually part of the fortress barracks, but it is obviously not in the same direction as the outer area where they were imprisoned before. Looking outside the city wall, it seems to be a cliff, but the wind is howling outside and the sky is dark. There are many things placed in the corridor.
There were many artillery pieces, but probably to prevent sandstorms, they were all wrapped in cloth.
I just think that the cause of the current dust storm is that no one can be seen in this place. Only the wind and sand passing through the windows are raging in the corridor. Several people have pulled up their hoods and have to lower their heads to survive.
Move forward, because as long as you raise your head a little, the wind and sand will rush towards you, pouring in from your collar and neck, making it hard to guard against.
Fortunately, this section of the road is not long. After passing through the corridor, a stone gate appeared in front of it. Behind the stone gate was an open-air city wall, and at the other end of the city wall, the tower leading to the inner city was vaguely visible.
.
It’s just that Wu Xiaopang looked at that place, and then looked at the bottom of the city wall under the roar of the strong wind. Under the cliff, there was only a dull piece of gravel dancing wildly. If someone lost his footing on the city wall and fell, it would be possible
It's not as simple as hanging up. To say it leaves a psychological shadow is an understatement.
There are no guards in this place, but the environment is too harsh.
Is this a place for people to stay?
He turned around and asked a bit stammering: "Boss, are we going to go there somewhere?"
"of course not."
Fang shook his head.
Wu Xiaopang couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when he saw this, thinking that it was okay, the boss wasn't crazy enough yet.
But Fang's next words immediately broke his illusion: "Of course we can't pass through the city wall. Do you think no one is really monitoring this direction? The inner city will only be more tightly guarded than the outside. We can't go through the city wall.
We have to get under it."
"Down, down?" Wu Xiaopang took a breath of air, walked over, leaned on the window and looked out, his face turned pale, how to get down there?
Don't look at the distance of only a few dozen meters, but in this weather, it is difficult for even birds to cross, let alone them?
"Of course we'll just pass it by."
Fang walked to the door and looked out at a distance of dozens of meters. As long as he didn't light a fire on his side, it should be difficult to see this direction from the other side of the inner city, but once he wanted to get closer, it would be different. He could almost
There must be someone on the other side of the tower watching the entrance. Even if there is no one outside, there will be guards inside.
And this situation is not the same as before. It may be difficult to contact the inner court in the inner city, but it should be easy to contact in the inner city. Just like they were in the outer area before, they
You can also use the Clockwork Fairy to communicate with Wu Xiaopang and others at short distances.
He can think of things that the other party can't think of.
So they must bypass these possible guards.
As he walked out of the stone door, the wind speed on the city wall seemed to have doubled in an instant. The strong wind tugged at his coat and almost blew him off the wall. Fang was so frightened that he quickly took a step back, thinking to himself
He still underestimated this storm, but he had also experienced more dangerous scenes, and he was not afraid of this mere sandstorm.
Without saying a word, he took off the alchemist's coat and handed it to Luo Yu: "Hold it for me."
Luo Yu looked at him and gave a rare reminder: "Be careful."
Luo Hao also asked from the side: "Do you need me here? I am an iron guard. My strength is much higher than yours, and my equipment is heavier than yours."
But Fang shook his head, he had to do this.
He wrapped a towel around his face, then pulled down his goggles, glanced outside, ducked, lowered his head and rushed out in that direction. The wind almost immediately caused him to lose his center of gravity, but Fang remained calm.
, fell down on the spot to reduce the resistance area, and then rolled close to the battlements there.
But the danger had obviously just begun. He straightened up carefully and glanced in the direction of the tower. The cliff below the city wall was naturally not as flat as a mirror. In fact, there were many jagged and protruding rocks. And he saw
These rocks just breathed a sigh of relief.
He raised his hand and launched his flying claw in that direction.
