The man moved with mechanical steps, walking from the light of one streetlight to the light of another streetlight, moving forward in the dark alley between the distant lights, and the dim light fell on his long face.
On the cloak, it appears to be bright and dark.
He walked through those alleys that Fang Plov couldn't name, one after another, from one intersection to another, walking stiffly, but without hesitation. Men seemed to be able to always avoid those bustling streets, sometimes just across the street.
There is a row of buildings, passing by a group of patrolling knights in black and white uniforms at the intersection. The inside and outside of the alley are like two completely different worlds. One side is in darkness, while the other side is brightly lit.
.
He only stopped there once, waiting for the patrolling knights to leave far away, then turned away from them and entered another deeper alley, passing through the stairs and old covered bridges, and the alley became
It is getting narrower and narrower, and the surrounding buildings are lined up in rows. The steep eaves are like fangs extending into the night sky.
A clockwork fairy buzzed in the night sky, the sound of flapping its wings was not loud. When this small brass ball passed by the window, it did not even wake up those who had fallen asleep.
The man limped forward, unaware of what was going on behind him. Fang Yu didn't know if the person controlling all this behind the scenes was aware of the movements around him through his own magic, but judging from the reaction of the citizen
, it seems not possible.
The man's actions seemed to have been programmed, where he would stay and wait. Fang Yu tried several times, but even if he didn't follow, the person leading the way would leave at the designated time, every time.
Exactly.
The opponent must not have practiced all this on the first day, but it has only been two days since the Seven Seas Brigade arrived here. The opponent must have practiced it many times before this day. During this time, many different people may have walked back and forth on this road.
Walked by.
But what is the purpose of spending so much time?
In the Clockwork Fairy's field of vision, the man's pace finally slowed down, and he seemed to have reached the right place.
But it was just a dark alley. The surrounding doors and windows were closed, and nothing unusual could be seen. A black cat squatted on the window sill, its eyes emitting a green light. When the man entered the alley, it emitted "
With a sharp cry, he jumped down from the window sill, landed on an abandoned wooden barrel, and looked back in this direction.
After a while, it jumped off the barrel again and disappeared in twos and twos.
It was at this time that a harsh whistle suddenly sounded on the street next door. Fang Luo had heard the sound of knights blowing copper whistles to arrest suspects during the day, and it was exactly the same sound. He subconsciously turned his head in that direction, but
I discovered that a block away, golden flames were rising in the night sky, and thick smoke was billowing.
"There's a fire?" Fang Yu was startled.
But he only looked at them for a moment, then turned around and returned his attention to the matter at hand. He didn't care what those knights were doing. The key was not to lose track of them. This was the most important thing right now.
But when he turned around and looked into the goggles, he suddenly stayed in place, and he couldn't help but be shocked - he saw that the Clockwork Fairy's field of vision was empty, and the man had already disappeared without a trace.
Since he had considered various possibilities before coming here, and had not even thought that this might be a trap, Fang Yu calmed down immediately and eliminated several obviously impossible options in his mind regarding the current situation.
First of all, could it be that I was distracted before and lost track of my target? But it only took a moment for me to turn around. Even if the man kept the previous speed, he couldn't have done so in such a short time with his stiff steps.
Go out of this alley.
So could it be that he entered a certain door? This is a possibility, but since the other party invited me over and found that no one was following, I should at least come out and take a look? However, it was quiet in the dark alley.
Except for the sharp whistles coming and going from a block away, nothing has changed here from before.
However, there was a considerable distance between the clockwork fairy and the previous man, and he kept a considerable distance from his clockwork fairy behind him, so Fang Yu did not worry that he would be discovered for a moment. He immediately raised his gloves.
Come, let the clockwork fairy climb up quickly, wanting to see what happened before from a higher height.
But the Clockwork Goblin's field of vision rose higher and higher, and there was still no shadow of the target in the dotted alleys around him. Even in the dark night, it was rare to see even a pedestrian in these remote alleys.
He raised the sight of the Clockwork Goblin and judged his position. He had followed that person for almost half an hour, and now he was almost in the very west direction of the town. Overlooking the Clockwork Goblin
, you can even see the low stone walls outside the town and the vast forest in the night.
Fang Yu was a little confused. He didn't know if he had successfully avoided a trap through the clockwork fairy. Although the current situation looked similar, after all, if the other party sincerely wanted to meet him, he probably wouldn't have done something like this.
Something happened.
When he calmly ordered the clockwork goblin to fly back, he subconsciously glanced at the fire point in the next block. The fire seemed to be a three-story apartment, with golden flames billowing from the roof and thick smoke rising straight up.
It was impossible to see anything in the sky. Many people gathered on the street, seemingly putting out the fire.
But as the Clockwork Fairy's vision turned, Fang Plover suddenly discovered that there were several figures walking on the roof in the alley behind him.
Looking down from a high altitude, those shadows dragging a long cloak and leaping across the adjacent roofs, they should be human in shape. However, among the adventurers, only one can achieve such skill.
There are several professions, either Nightingale or Ranger.
When Fang Plover saw clearly the direction in which the figures were heading, he felt slightly startled. They were actually coming in his direction. He subconsciously wanted to retreat, but it was too late. A figure appeared on the roof not far away.
He came out and pointed the long bow in this direction.
"Who is there?"
The other party shouted lowly.
There was a rustling sound, and more figures appeared from the surrounding rooftops, each holding a bow and a crossbow. The cold light of the arrows reflected the flickering flames a block away, which was slightly dazzling.
.
Fang Yu didn't know whether the other party was a friend or an enemy, but he couldn't place his hope of survival on these strangers of unknown origin. He didn't even have time to think about what went wrong, and immediately raised his hand and pressed it on the information crystal.
, preparing to summon a dragon hunter to stand in front of him.
But his actions were equally obvious in the eyes of these rangers. The leading ranger suddenly let go of his hand, and there was a "buzz" sound in the air, like a flickering cold light in the dark night, and the arrow shot through the air.
However, a transparent ripple swept across the alley. Wherever it passed, the roof boards, doors, windows, and even the wooden tiles on the eaves made creaking sounds. The tiles seemed to be lifted from the roof by an invisible hand.
When it was pulled out, it stood upright like a cat with fried hair, and the nails nailed to it were also pulled out, one by one suspended in mid-air.
The ripples hit the flying arrows, and the latter immediately flew out in a swirl, just like a strong wind blowing across the roof. Everyone could not hold the bow and crossbow in their hands, and they flew out one after another, flying towards
In mid-air, they gathered into a ball and then fell heavily.
At that moment, the tiles and nails also fell down one after another, falling to the ground with a clatter.
Only a few people can hold the bow in their hands, including the one who just shot the arrow at Fang Plover, but most of them have lost the arrow in their hands, and they don't know what to do when encountering such a bizarre thing.
good.
As for most of the rangers who had never seen this before, they all stood blankly on the spot.
Fang Plover turned around and looked in one direction of the alley. Sure enough, he saw a young middle school boy who had raised his collar and covered his face tightly, holding a wand and walking out from that direction. On the other side, Xiao
There was also a maid standing at the entrance of the alley.
Siesta put on her arm guards, raised her head from a distance, and looked at the enemy on the roof.
"Why are you here?" Fang Plover asked the box with his eyes.
Box turned around and glanced at Siesta, and Fang Plover instantly understood that the only one in the team who could command these two people, apart from himself, was Sylvide.
Siesta only listened to her lady's orders, but she would do some things for him even if she had to do so - at least bring him tea and water, and treat him as the same as her lady. As for the box, Sylvide used it as a cold and ruthless expression.
After a few compliments like this, I was completely bought in.
However, Fang Yu felt a little annoyed. Of course, he understood that Sylvester could not trust him, but this always made him feel that he was not so reliable and at ease.
Of course he was annoyed, and he couldn't say anything at the moment. Fortunately, the box had come, otherwise he would have suffered a big loss.
After a while, someone among those people shouted:
"A wizard of the Lingen school!"
That's another name for power magicians, just because most wizards in this school are good at it.
This claim was obviously directed at the box. Those rangers must have mistakenly identified the person. They probably thought the box was a tower wizard or even an occultist, both of which were high-level titles for magicians.
The Great Mage Karatu once served in the Horntus Bay Academy and worked as an occultist for a period of time. Of course, he later advanced to become a Grand Mage, which is another story. But for the Chosen One,
Occultist is already a fourth-level profession, equivalent to level 30 and above.
What's more, the blow before the box was more than just the power displayed by a wizard of around level 30.
In short, these people should have been shocked by the box.
However, Xiang Xiang quietly made a '2' gesture to Fang Plover. He pressed his magic glove with one hand. Fang Plover knew very well that the previous scene was the result of this glove. Shana's friend gave him a gift with
Ai Xiaoxiao has a gift for each person. The gift given to the box is this glove. It has a total of three charges. Each time after a long period of charging, it can extremely strengthen the wearer's power spells.
.
Fang Yu has never heard of the origin of this glove, but it is obviously worth a lot of money and should not be produced in the first world.
The gesture the box gave him meant that the glove still had two charges left. Unless a magic storage crystal was used, in its natural state it would take several days to recharge each time.
However, the battle did not continue. At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind the rangers:
"stop."
It was a woman's voice, and Fang Yu felt vaguely familiar with it.
But just when he was searching for the matching voice from his memory, the owner of the voice had already appeared in his field of vision, it was the woman named 'Saya'.
"Mr. Ed, we meet again," Saya looked at them condescendingly. The firelight in the distance reflected her long red ponytail hair, and the tips of her hair seemed to be burning. A trace of complexity flashed in her green eyes.
The light: "I wonder if you still remember us?"
Fang Yu nodded. In fact, after the encounter at the trial court, he had already remembered where he had seen each other: "You are from Tapolis, why are you here? I heard that after leaving Idris
Aren’t you planning to go to Fenris? Also, what is your relationship with the Crow’s Claw Temple?”
He asked several questions in succession, and these questions had puzzled him for the past two days.
Saya shook her head slightly: "There is no such thing as Tapolis anymore."
She didn't seem to want to talk about this topic anymore. She just put her bow on her back, jumped from the roof, landed steadily, and then got up. Seeing this, the other rangers also put away their weapons and came down from the roof.
Wandered around in a circle.
Box and Siesta also came over.
"What's going on?" Fang Yu was startled and asked in surprise.
When Idris met these people, the current situation of the Oak Knights didn't look very good at that time, but it seems to be even worse now. How could the people of Tapolis confront the Crow's Claw Temple? They didn't
Should he be recruited by the Rainbow Alliance or the Descendants of Flor?
As he asked, he looked at the people around him. There didn't seem to be many familiar faces among the rangers.
"Don't look at them," Saya replied in a cold voice, her tone seemed to be consistent, "They are not from Tapolis, we are just in the same boat, we are 'refugees', just like last time
I answered you."
"refugee?"
"I'll tell you what's going on, Mr. Ed," Saya stretched her hands behind her head, untied her ponytail, and let her long red hair fall down, as if she was out of combat mode, and at the same time said to
She walked forward, "Actually, I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly. I had given up all hope..." She turned back to look at the three of them and said, "But anyway, leave this place first, before the Crow Claw Knight arrives.
"
Fang Yu was surprised: "Wait a minute, were you the ones sent just now?"
Saya glanced at them with green eyes and nodded: "...I asked Abigail to find you, but...forget it, come with me, let's go to a safe place first."
Fang Yu was full of doubts, but for a moment he didn't know where to start. He had thought about various possibilities, but never thought of this.
"By the way," he suddenly asked: "Where is Xiao Kong?"
He remembered that the young ranger boy who had a personality somewhat similar to his own had given him a magic bow as a gift when he was in Idris.
But after hearing this question, an indescribable look suddenly appeared on Saya's face. But after a while, she looked at Fang Pliance and her expression suddenly dropped her guard: "You actually still remember him."
"Of course."
Fang Yu was secretly worried - what do you mean, looking down on people? His memory has always been very good.
"Xiao Kong may have to leave Aitaria," Dan Saya suddenly replied: "The bow you gave him gave him a lot of motivation. He has made rapid progress during this time... Forget it, don't tell me.
Well, actually I didn't want to trouble you originally, and this matter has nothing to do with you... But ever since he learned that you let us go at the trial court, he has always wanted to see you..."
"He is leaving Etalia, why?"
Fang Yu suddenly closed his mouth.
The Chosen sometimes use a euphemistic way to describe the way they leave Aitaria. For people on Earth, it is a different kind of return. But it is actually another way of saying 'death'.
In this world, another part of life is forever lost.
However, the death of the chosen ones is often sudden, and the idea that they may have to leave Aitaria sounds a bit concerning.
"What kind of vicious curse has Xiaokong been cursed by?" Fang Yu could only think of this possibility for a moment.
"The situation is a bit difficult to say."
Saya shook her head, looking a little tired: "If you don't waste your time, maybe you will understand if you are willing to meet him."
Fang Plover looked at the box and Siesta on the side.
Then he nodded: "Take us there. By the way, I want to know what happened."
Saya glanced at them without comment, turned around and walked towards the other end of the alley.
The curious eyes of the rangers also passed over the three of them. Of course, they were still paying attention to the box that stood silently aside. After all, in their opinion, it was a tower wizard, or an occultist, a great person above level 30.
guy.
Among the selectors whose average level is only twenty-five, they are already considered to be at the top of the pyramid.
In particular, the levels of these people are generally only seventeen or eighteen, with few reaching level twenty. They are at the same level as the Crow Claw Knights outside, or even slightly stronger. They are also well-known adventurers in this area.
But compared to the 'legendary' characters above level 30, that's nothing.
In the north, there is the Spear of the Silver Forest, the Silver Veslan, and the Jefrit Red Team. These are large guilds with tens of thousands of people, but there are selectors of level 30 or above in the entire guild.
, it will not exceed 1%. Brigades like Yin Zhiyi are usually active in remote areas, and it is rare for ordinary people to see them.
Even if there are some private experts, they are rare in the major free mercenary adventure groups, and most of them are older.
People were whispering and whispering to each other: "Miss Saya actually knows such a master?"
"After all, Miss Saya is a member of the Oak Knights. There were such masters in Tapolis's past brigade, so this is nothing to her."
"That's right."
From the words of these people, Fang Yu believed what the other party said before. It seemed that these people were not from Tapolis.
He retracted his gaze, followed us, and couldn't help but ask: "Do you recognize us?"
Saya was putting her hand on a door, and turned around to look at them after hearing this question.
"We are not fools. If we can't figure out who you are after meeting each other twice, wouldn't we have a pair of eyes in vain?"
"You can guess how many talented alchemists there are at Corin-Ithulian's age with your eyes closed."
