The armor fell heavily to the ground, motionless. The black mist inside the armor finally disappeared. It burned into a ball of purple flames, and finally turned into nothingness, and nothing happened again.
Only then did Fang Plover have time to look at the situation around him - the space behind the thick stone door was not large, and was even narrower than the space in front of the stone door. The armor could only be accommodated inside.
There is also a stone throne behind it. The armor should have been originally located on the throne. There is also a stone shelf on one side of it, where the giant sword is placed.
Other than that, there was nothing behind the stone door. Fang Plover looked carefully and found no valuable clues. But was such a thick stone door just to seal in the armor?
With this thought in mind, he turned back and focused his attention on the armor again.
The scene of the armor falling to the ground undoubtedly reminded him of the things that Miss Attila, Tian Lan and Sophie had jointly described to him.
It was also an empty armor, but it seemed to have a soul and could move freely. He had also seen with his own eyes before that the armor was completely empty at the moment. No power of the dead souls could be felt on it, and there were no traces of alchemy.
This is incredible anyway.
The armor fell down from the front, and the tattered cloak covered it like a shroud. Fang Plover lifted up the layer of rags, and first saw the rusted magic furnace - he had a hard time believing this at first.
The seemingly magical furnace was still functioning, but when I took a closer look, I discovered that the core crystal of the magical furnace was still relatively intact.
Although the magic furnace is in tatters, it is not very old and was made about half a century ago.
He knelt down and turned the armor over under the gazes of Luo Yu and Mei Yi.
Then in the eyes of the three people.
A gray-white raven caught their eyes.
"Crow's Claw Temple?" Luo Yu said somewhat unexpectedly.
But Fang Yu shook his head.
There are obviously some differences between this raven and the holy emblem of Crow Claw Temple.
This thing is not so much a holy emblem as it is the family emblem of a noble. The features of the coat of arms and ribbons on it are very obvious, and there is even a vague motto, but the original content can no longer be seen.
But how did such a piece of armor appear in the monastery, and who was its original owner?
…
Xiangxiang didn't know why he came back to this square again.
Perhaps unintentionally, or perhaps intentionally, when he stopped, he still saw the little girl from last time holding a dirty basket and looking at him timidly. She was wearing a long apron and her figure was
The owner of the bakery, which was as tall as an iron tower, was standing aside, looking up at him as well - even in the severe winter, the other man was shirtless, with strong muscles bulging on his bare shoulders.
"you again."
The other party frowned and said.
Xiang Xiang remembered that he didn't seem to ask the other person's name last time, and now he didn't know how to address him, which made him feel a bit disadvantaged. You must know that the other party asked his name, and he should be polite in return - although he did not answer truthfully at the time.
.
"Istria," the man took the initiative to introduce: "Although the owner of a bakery is probably not worth mentioning to you."
Xiang Xiang was a little confused. Gubai Zhideye had never told him which people were worthy of 'friending' and which people were not worth 'friending'. Of course, Fang Plover would not tell him this. Why a bread workshop?
The boss is not worth mentioning? He doesn’t quite understand the difference between the Chosen Ones and the aboriginal people. To be honest, he doesn’t really understand this either.
He pointed at the little girl: "Is she safe here?"
"You know her?"
At this time, the little girl pulled Istra's waist and asked the tall man to lean down. She stood on tiptoes and said something to the latter. Istra raised her eyebrows after hearing this.
, looked at the box with an unexpected look, straightened up again, and said:
"Want to hear a story?"
…
Severe cold protects the northern coast.
The residents of Baozhang Coast still believe that they are the favored ones of winter. The north wind is guarding this land. The ancestors came across the sea and overcame the daunting winter before establishing a firm foothold here.
The history of this land begins with a young man named Edwin Clairvaux. In the Silver Tower Era, Eisen I named the 'Iron Knight' Marlin as the Marquis of Tallon, responsible for guarding the borders of the kingdom.
Monitor the Guta people arriving across the sea.
In that era, three wars broke out in a row. Many mercenaries and adventurers were active on the battlefield and were named nobles by grabbing military exploits, and Edwin Clairvaux was one of them. Edwin was a quite
He was a smart young man and fought bravely. He was highly appreciated by Marlin during the war. At the latter's suggestion, the then King of Kaolin, Geralt Lovind, made him an earl.
After Marlin died in battle, Edwin took over the command and led the knights to continue fighting against the Guta people. They landed at today's Changsail Beach, established a cold water port, and followed the winding coastline eastward, defeating the Guta people along the way.
Several armies of the Tower people.
Since then, the Treasure Staff Coast has been under the rule of the Kingdom of Corin. After the war, Geralt Lovind gave this land to Edwin and asked him to guard this cold place for the kingdom.
After Edwin's death, his two sons, one older and one younger, inherited his two fiefs respectively. The eldest son Evans-Clever inherited the rich and prosperous fiefdom in the north of Talon, while the younger son continued to lead the knights.
Fight against the Guta people in the bitter cold land.
There are not many records about this youngest son in history, and even his name is not found in history. He left several descendants, and scholars believe that one of them is the prototype of the legend of the ancient king hunter. That also happened in almost the same era.
However, due to the betrayal of his loved ones, the ancient undead monarch still infests this frozen land.
"The descendants of the eldest son Evans multiplied and developed in Talen and became the backbone of the Clairvaux family. It is said that the brave young man liked to draw a white raven on his shield, so this symbol
It also became the emblem of the Clairvaux family."
Sylvide looked at the emblem on the metal fragment with bright eyes and recounted this period of history.
"This period of history lasted for three hundred years, following the end of the Giant War. It was not until Aisen IV took back the power of the nobles and established the consul system. From then on, there was no longer a kingdom of Caulin-Ithurion.
The princes who guard the borders are only loyal to your Majesty's consuls."
"What about the Clairvaux family?" Fang Plover asked a little stupidly, looking at the fragments of armor placed on the table in the hotel room.
Sylvester couldn't help laughing and replied: "In any era, people cannot easily give up the power in their hands. Therefore, just like today's Southern Territory, the nobles at that time raised the flag of rebellion, but they failed, and
Eisen IV only forgave some of them, and the Clairvaux family was not among them."
Listening to this description, Fang Yu was in a trance when he looked at the emblem. This may be just a very brief record in the history books, but in that era, there were heads rolling and blood flowing like rivers. A prominent family in history has since
This disappears.
That gray-white raven received favor from a king, and became prominent and unknown, and became a highly respected official. However, under the same royal authority, it fell apart and disappeared from people's memory.
"The fiefdom of the Clairvaux family is in the area of today's Gula Port," Sylvide continued, "or not necessarily in Gray Owl Town. Since the change of power, many changes have taken place here. Gula Port
and Charter City were both established after that—"
"So this armor may be left behind by the last member of the Clairvaux family?"
Fang Yu asked as he couldn't help but recall the battle under the secret passage. It was not an easy challenge. If the armor hadn't misjudged the ability of the Dark Ritual, it might not have been known who would win.
The aura of that armor left a deep impression on people, and if it was just a piece of armor, who should be its original owner?
Is that the last member of the Clairvaux family? What kind of person was he during his lifetime? A person who can leave such an armor behind should be extraordinary and even legendary. It’s a pity that history buries everything.
, disappeared without a trace along with this family.
Sylvide shook her head: "Then I don't know. There are not many rumors about this family, but there are some rumors that some members escaped from the catastrophe, some fled to the ancient tower, and some fled to
Southern Territory. But those are of no importance, and these people eventually became anonymous and disappeared into history."
Fang Plover looked at the raven on the emblem, and thought of the Crow's Claw Temple again. Is there any connection between the two?
But after more than a day of investigation, he has actually figured out that the believers in the Crow Claw Temple are not actually from the local area. These people first came from the ancient tower - in that cold land, there are many stories about Storm Lord Ai
Rumors about Danlian.
From any aspect, it is difficult for these outsiders to have anything to do with the history of more than three hundred years ago, and their rise is more or less accidental.
What's more, if these people really have anything to do with the Clairvaux family, then they will definitely pay close attention to that monastery and will not let this armor fall into their hands so easily.
Fang Yu rubbed his somewhat tense forehead. He just went to investigate the shadow person. He didn't expect to encounter such a bizarre thing. What happened under the secret passage made him think of Miss Attila and Sophie.
The two armors encountered in Dorifin and Duron respectively.
The former is Alvin Green, a close friend of the hero Shjod. His mind was eroded by the Wanderer, and his soul disappeared, leaving only an empty armor.
As for whether the latter is the eldest son of Duke Phoenix, it is still unknown so far, because his original owner is still alive and has no abnormal behavior. Not only that, he has also defeated the rebel party in the south and is deeply regarded by the Prime Minister.
appreciation.
As for the third armor, the emblem on it comes from the Clervaux family that has disappeared for a long time, according to Sylvide. The identities of the owners of these three armors are too different. As for the connection between them,
He really couldn't think of a reason for it at the moment.
Simply confused, Fang Plover stood up from his seat and looked outside through the glass window covered with a thin layer of frost. The streets were under martial law - much stricter than when they left Gray Owl Town.
He discovered this when he just entered the city. The inspection was obviously very loose when he left the town, but when he came back, a group of Crowclaw Knights came back and checked them several times.
Then he turned around and asked, "What's going on outside?"
"That happened while you were away," Sylvide replied, "Luo Hao and Jita went to deal with this matter."
"what happened again?"
"Someone attacked a noble manor outside Gray Owl Town. It seemed that they were the same people last time. Soon after that, people from the Crow Claw Temple sealed off the town and sent people to investigate. Luo Hao and Jita were going to fight with
The other party negotiated. He was worried that you would not be able to find anyone when you came back, so he asked me to come back first."
Fang Plover was a little surprised.
Those people had just rescued people from the trial court one day ago. They thought they would be dormant these days, but they didn't expect that something like this would happen again the next day. I don't know whether to say these people are too bold or to catch them.
This opportunity goes in the opposite direction.
However, there were obviously chosen ones among these people, and he didn't quite understand why they always had trouble with the Crow's Claw Temple.
However, when he was doubtful, May, who was sitting aside, looked at the armor and suddenly thought of something in her heart, and said: "'Like intertwining light and shadow, changing bright flames', Mr. Ed,
When the black mist burned from it just now, did it somewhat fit this description?"
Fang Plover couldn't help but be stunned.
This description describes the shadow person.
He turned around, "Do you think that's the Shadow Man?"
"I'm not sure," Mei shook her head and said, "but the situation at that time reminded me of something. My teacher told me something. She once fought a similar monster. She said
, they are also burning with purple flames all over their bodies, but they have a form similar to humans..."
She paused and frowned, "This description is very different from the black mist, but when it finally burned, it reminded me of this. I was thinking about the relationship between the teacher and me.
Are those monsters I mentioned the Shadow People?"
The more Fang Yu listened, the more familiar he became. Finally, he couldn't help interrupting the other party and said, "Wait a minute, Miss Mei, where did your teacher encounter those monsters?"
May glanced at him in surprise, "Let me think about it, Mr. Ed, the teacher didn't tell me in detail, but she should have been in Nevard during that time. I heard-"
"Nevad, the residence of goblins?" Fang Plover couldn't help but interrupt the other party, "Wait a minute, Miss Mei, when did your teacher go to that place?"
"I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you about this, Mr. Ed," May replied very politely, "My teacher's name is Leia Senor, you call her..."
"Holy September?" Fang Yu finally responded, "Are you Sister Xiaojiu's student, Mei Yi?"
Mei widened her eyes cutely and looked at Fang Plover in surprise, "How do you know, Mr. Ed?"
"I was also in that place at the time," Fang Yu suddenly realized that something was wrong with his words and changed his words: "No..."
"Are you the genius alchemist?" Mei was just a little confused, but not stupid. She immediately reacted: "Ed - I should have thought of it earlier. You are Mr. Ed. The teacher has told me about it more than once.
you!"
But this lovely knight lady suddenly frowned, as if she thought of something: "By the way..."
Fang Yu looked at the other party with a guilty conscience. He knew it would be like this, but he still had the courage to ask: "What's the matter, Miss Mei?"
May looked around, "Where's Mr. Parker?"
"He...he is not here for the time being."
Mei glanced at him, lowered her head, put her hands on her knees, and said nothing.
The room became quiet for a while, and Fang Plover couldn't help but turn around and ask for help from Sylvester, but the ship officer was smiling, so what could she do?
However, if the shadow people were really the flaming monsters that Miss Leya encountered, Fang Pliance also hesitated for a moment. He had seen with his own eyes how powerful those things were, and even Miss Leya was almost not one of those.
The opponents of things, aren’t they delivering food when they go up there?
When he thought that he had rashly investigated such a ghost thing, Fang Yu couldn't help but wiped away a cold sweat, thinking that he must think twice before encountering such a thing in the future.
But seriously speaking, although the armor they encountered was powerful, it seemed a bit far from those flaming monsters. He had seen with his own eyes the power of those flaming monsters fighting Leia's dragon knights.
With such strength, wouldn't it be easy to kill them instantly? How could he fight them back and forth, and finally turn defeat into victory for them. So it is still said that the armor itself is not a shadow man, but the burning in the black mist
What's going on with the purple flame?
At this time, Sylvide seemed to have thought of how to help him resolve the current situation. She thought for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, there is another rumor about the Clairvaux family."
Both of them raised their heads and looked at the ship officer.
"It is said that their family has inherited a magic sword since their ancestor Edwin."
"Magic sword?"
…
Box silently listened to the story told by Istria.
In fact, he didn't really want to listen to this story, he just stood here motionless. Those weird legends didn't touch him at all. After listening to it, he looked at the other person and asked: "Why are you telling me this?
"
Istra looked at him a little surprised: "Aren't you curious?"
"Why be curious?"
Only then did Istra realize that this young man was obviously a little different from the Holy Chosen One in his mind. He smiled and said: "What a weird guy, but I'll just tell it. It takes more to tell a story."
What’s the reason?”
Xiangxiang thought for a moment and agreed with this: "No need."
Istra couldn't help laughing, "But just remember this story, maybe it will come in handy." At this time, he lowered his head, patted the head of the little girl next to him, and signaled her
Go forward.
The little girl timidly came to the box, looked at him a little scared, and then bowed to him. After bowing, she just like the last time, hugged her basket, ran away quickly, and disappeared.
In the alley.
The box looked in that direction.
At this time, Istra said to him again: "I left something for you. You didn't take it away last time. It doesn't matter if you come. You can take it away this time."
Box turned around and looked at the other party in surprise.
"what is that?"
"It's useless to leave the Clairvaux family's things here with me, but maybe they can be of help to you."
If Fang Plover was in this place, he might want to ask the other party how they knew who they were, but Xiang Xiang seemed to take this as a matter of course, and he only looked at that thing.
And Istria didn't talk nonsense to him. He just pointed to the box half buried in the snow, then stopped talking, turned around, and returned to his shop. He didn't seem to care whether the other party was holding it.
If you don't take this thing away, you won't worry about whether the box will be taken away by others.
However, the box only thought for a moment before he stretched out his hand and let the box fly directly into his hands.
He wanted Fang Pliong to tell him not to get into trouble, but he didn't tell him not to take other people's things.
