Apart from him, there was only one monk in the room who was assigned to take care of his daily life. The latter was lighting the soothing incense in the brass hanging stove, closed the lid, turned around, and replied softly:
"Sir, it must be time for evening prayers again."
Elf rubbed his brows and then remembered this incident. He thought to himself whether he had been a little too nervous these days and had forgotten such an important thing. He closed the book in his hand and drew "
The book "A Survey of Northern Evenings" opened his mouth and said: "You go and prepare, I also want to perform evening prayers."
"Okay, sir."
The monk bowed slightly to him, put down what he was doing, turned around and exited the room.
…
In the main hall on the right, 'Grey Whistle' Blackbo and several redeemed people were trying to pry out some useful information from the captive monks, but unfortunately they didn't get much. These monks only knew that they were ordered to look after them here.
There was a 'guest' from the north, but they were ordered not to have direct contact with the 'guest', so they couldn't ask any questions.
According to these monks, only a few people could enter the room where the 'guest' was, but it seemed that they were very unlucky, as those monks all fell in a pool of blood in the previous battle.
Of course, Blackbo didn't believe a word of what these people from the temple said. In his view, these people were the embodiment of evil, cunning believers of darkness, full of lies, and people with no credibility.
He put the blade on the necks of these monks, and was considering whether to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, but he hesitated - in his opinion, the young man had too much sense of justice. Although he regarded the people in the temple as enemies like them, he still
You may not necessarily be used to attacking these defenseless people.
It was at this time that Blackbo saw the girl named Hongye hurriedly walking out from the direction of the main hall on the right, and whispered to them: "Someone is coming out again."
"Caught?" Kweed approached him, walked a few steps, and asked the other party in a low tone.
Hongye looked at them and nodded: "Ed asked you to go over and take a look."
…
The monk who walked out of the room fell into Miss Nightingale's hands almost as soon as he walked out.
A dagger passed silently across the darkness, and pressed its cold edge against the former's neck. Then a suppressed, low voice, like an insect crawling across the leaves, whispered in his ear:
"You'd better not act rashly."
The other party shuddered, immediately realized what had happened, and subconsciously opened his mouth to scream. But a hand covered his mouth, and then the pressure on his neck disappeared, but he immediately received a solid punch in the lower abdomen.
.
The monk arched his back like a shrimp in pain, but his muffled voice could not be heard at all due to his covered mouth.
Fang Plover saw Alyssa dragging the half-dead monk out of the darkness.
Miss Nightingale had a lazy look on her face, as if she had only done a trivial task, and threw the monk to the ground. The latter groaned and raised his head to look at the two men with a look of pain on his face.
He was a human being, but his mouth was tied tightly with cloth strips and he couldn't make any sound.
Fang Plover threw an appreciative look at Alyssa.
"Good job." He praised. It was only at times like this that the twin sister was shown to be reliable.
But Alyssa only looked at this side with a bit of fun, and suddenly smiled a little narrowly: "So is this a separate compliment from the leader?"
"Of course." Fang Yu was stunned, thinking otherwise?
"Thank you, Captain." But our Miss Nightingale looked a little disappointed and sighed faintly: "But in comparison, I would rather get some more practical rewards."
"A more practical reward? That means..." Fang Pultru looked at the other party in confusion.
There was an inexplicable light flashing in Alyssa's eyes, and she chuckled.
She suddenly came closer, pointed to her moist lips with her fingertips, and exhaled like a blue breath, "Master, do you still remember the first time we met?"
ha?
Fang Yu was a little confused for a moment, and couldn't help looking at the other party with his mouth wide open.
But he suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but subconsciously take a step back, covering his right cheek with his hand. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
Alyssa caught this action very keenly and asked with a smile: "...So, Mr. Captain?"
"Of course it won't work, love, Miss Alyssa..."
Fang Yu didn't even know where to put his hands and feet for a moment. He didn't know what kind of madness their Miss Nightingale had gone to, to talk about such a thing at such a time.
Although it is true that there are only two of them at the moment, but, but, he already has someone he likes in his heart.
"Cackle——" Miss Nightingale suddenly let out a string of laughter like silver bells, laughing so hard that she laughed hard. Fortunately, no one could hear the conversation between them in the dark and deep corridor.
"Where are you thinking, our dear leader?" She then reached out and gently patted the moonstone communication crystal on her chest, and said with a smile: "Okay, Miss Sylvide, let me help you.
It has been tested, but our leader is quite steadfast."
The crystal shone slightly, and the quiet voice of the ship officer came out: "Actually, I don't mind, Miss Alyssa."
"Yes, the leader is very cute, but it's a pity that he is not my type." Alyssa replied with a smile.
At this moment, Fang Yu didn't know that he was being teased again - why did he use You? He glared at the other party angrily, and then asked in a low voice: "Silverde, what's the matter?"
"We're ready here."
Fang Yu faintly heard Tianlan's laughter coming from over there, and knew that he had been in a big embarrassment again. He even threw an annoyed look at Miss Nightingale on the side, and then replied: "I understand, wait for us
Signal this way, Sylvide."
"Understood, my leader."
Fang Yu watched the light of the communication crystal dim and was about to say something. But Alyssa hurriedly said with a smile: "That's the leader's own misunderstanding. I just said that the leader still remembers helping us at that time."
Is it just a dagger? After all, Alyssa has been using this fake for a long time."
Fang Plover was speechless for a while.
"Then there's no need for you to say that..."
"Isn't it natural for girls to be reserved?" Alyssa still smiled and kicked the monk who fell on the ground. "But there are still a few minutes left, so let's interrogate this guy first."
Did you know you only have a few minutes?
Fang Yu couldn't help but curse in his heart, but Alyssa's words did remind him, so he had no choice but to give up pursuing the matter and walked over with a sigh.
Alyssa was still asking from the side: "But Captain, how do you plan to get them to speak? As far as I know, these people are very fanatical, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are willing to die. Are you planning to use that...?"
"
Fang Yu turned his head and glanced at her. It seemed that Miss Nightingale had guessed his intention, but he was angry and did not answer. He just walked over and pulled the monk up from the ground.
The other party's mouth was covered with a piece of cloth, and he only looked at the two of them with a somewhat frightened expression. He had already figured out the identities of the two Holy Chosen Ones - only the Holy Chosen Ones could have such strange conversations.
He roughly guessed the purpose of the other party's visit, but facing Fang Plover's gaze, he just looked back without evading, as if telling the two people in front of him with his eyes - swear to the Lord of Storms, Aidanlian,
He won't say anything.
Unfortunately, Fang Yu was indifferent to this gaze. He only reached into his arms, took out a string, and grabbed the pendant tied to the end of the string with his hand.
He looked at the other party calmly, a golden light flashed in his dark eyes, and said: "I know you are not afraid of death, but death also has many definitions. Have you ever heard of the shadow under the dragon's wings?"
A golden flame slowly rose from his fingertips.
The monk couldn't speak, but his eyes widened. The shadow of the Dragon Witch has been covering the north for more than a year. How many people have not heard of the prophecy about death at this moment?
He seemed to suddenly remember the rumors about these people from the outside world - followers of Nicol Bolas, and the dark dragon's ability to seize the human starlight was also rumored to be mysterious.
Ordinary people may not recognize what the golden flame represents, but how could they, followers of the temple, not know that it is the golden flame of the dragon.
The unburned remnants of Venus fall into the dust. According to legend, it is the flame that brings doom. It will burn everything and leave only ashes.
Even starlight——
Cold sweat started to flow from the monk's forehead. His eyes widened and he made a whining sound. He struggled and tried to escape, but Miss Nightingale put a hand on his shoulder and stopped him from moving.
Fang Yu extinguished the flame with a flick of his hand, but the golden halo flowing in his eyes did not disappear. He stared at the other party and said quietly: "Next, I will ask, and you will answer."
"And you just have to answer yes or no, got it?"
The monk looked pale and hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
Fang Yu pulled off the cloth from the other party's mouth, and at the same time winked at Alyssa on the side. Miss Nightingale pressed the monk's shoulder with one hand, and took out a coin from her pocket with the other hand.
Comes in slender crystal.
No matter how she activated the crystal, the crystal lit up slightly, and the magic circles engraved in it lit up layer by layer, and then converged into a beam of light that hit the monk's eyebrows.
It is actually something similar to the scrolls in many magical stories. The elementalists and magicians pre-inject their spells into these crystals engraved with magic storage arrays and store them. Those who have mastered the special skills
Those who use skills can re-energize magic from these crystals.
It was a spell to 'control people's hearts' that they had prepared in advance. This spell was not mastered by the elementalists. As a naturalist, Jita and Box, who only mastered power spells, could not cast it either. However, in Gula Port
The Star and Moon Tower has spell services, and it is not difficult to buy such low-level spell storage crystals.
However, the system failed when the first spell was fired. Low-level spells have trouble with low-level spells. It was like they had never considered using this thing against the Patriarch, and there was no way it would succeed.
However, even for these low-level believers, their fanatical beliefs have given them a firm will. Fang Yu first used words to shake the other party's mind before letting Miss Nightingale take action, but now it seems that the success rate is still only 50-50.
.
He noticed this detail and couldn't help but feel grateful for his caution.
The monk only felt a flash of white light, and then he realized something. He turned around and saw the crystal in Alyssa's hand clearly, and couldn't help being surprised and angry:
"you……"
But before he finished speaking, Alyssa activated a second spell, and this time it finally indicated that the spell was successful.
The white light hit the monk's forehead. After the monk swayed slightly, his expression suddenly calmed down, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes.
It was at this time that Hongye and Saya came here with Blackbo and his party.
"What is this?" Hongye immediately understood that the two of them had succeeded as soon as he saw the empty crystal that Alyssa threw on the ground.
However, time was limited, and Fang Yu had no time to explain the current situation to them. He just looked at the monk and said, "We are your friends. The people above asked us to protect that gentleman, but we need to understand some situations. You
You must answer us truthfully."
The monk's eyes were dull and he repeated dully: "Yes, you are sent by the adults above to protect that adult. I will answer your questions truthfully."
Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He paused for a moment and then asked again: "Let's confirm the target first. Is the adult inside from the Altori area?"
"The gentleman inside is from the Altori region."
"Where in the Altori region is Snowstone Castle?"
The monk frowned, as if recalling the term, and then nodded.
Fang Yu couldn't help but look at the others, and then his tense nerves relaxed. What they were most afraid of was that Zhang Guan and Li Dai had found the wrong person, but at least half of them were confirmed now.
"what are you doing here?"
The monk looked blank and replied blankly: "...I am responsible for taking care of the adult's daily life."
"only you?"
"No, there are a few other people with me."
"Are they all here?"
"They are resting in the hall outside. None of us can leave the hall on the right side without permission."
Fang Yu nodded. This was consistent with the information they had received before, so he continued to ask: "Did that gentleman arrive in Gula with other people? Who else are there?"
The monk nodded and said that there were several guests from the north who had also arrived in Gula with the adult, but they were not in this temple.
When Fang Yu asked where those people were now and their identities, the monks had no idea. But this was what they expected.
He asked some other more in-depth questions, but unfortunately the other party still didn't know much about him. He asked a few questions about the Shadow Man, and then he discovered to his surprise that these monks didn't seem to know much about the Shadow Man.
They only knew that the Temple was fighting against the Dragon Witch, and that the Shadow Man came from the same world. Their enemies also included dragon beasts and dragon minions.
After hearing this answer, Hongye on the side couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Did we guess wrong? The Crow's Claw Temple actually has nothing to do with the Shadow Man?"
But Alyssa shook her head.
Miss Nightingale turned away from her previous laughter and replied very seriously: "It's also possible that these low-level believers don't know the truth. It's not necessarily true. You only need to think about it carefully to understand that the more people who know a secret, the more
Not easy to cover up.”
"Indeed," Hong Ye also reacted, "-if the entire Crow Claw Temple was disguised by dark believers, then I'm afraid they would have aroused the suspicion of others."
Fang Yu turned around and asked the other party a question about Aidanlian.
As expected, the monk swore that the Storm Lord had been resurrected and returned to this world. His mood seemed a little excited for a moment, as if he wanted to break free from the shackles of the spell.
Controlling the mind is not a powerful control spell. Fang Piao did not dare to go further on this issue, for fear that these fanatic believers would be too excited and the spell would fail.
He still has important questions to ask.
He hurriedly said a few good words to the other party to appease the fanatical believer, and then asked: "Since you are serving the adult's daily life, why do you come out at this time? It's time to change shifts.
What?"
The monk shook his head and replied in a calm tone: "No, it's just that the gentleman asked me to help him prepare for the evening prayer ceremony."
Fang Yu's eyes lit up slightly, thinking that this was really done without any effort. He quickly asked: "What do I need to prepare for the evening prayer ceremony?"
…
Elf Yates Leonard looked at the monk who left before opening the door again and walking in.
He didn't pay too much attention to the other party. He just straightened his robes, then took out the Holy Emblem of the Lord of Crows from the drawer and walked towards the altar in the room.
The monk arranged every religious item for the evening prayer ceremony without saying a word, and after carefully wiping the church, he bowed slightly to him:
"Sir, if you don't have any requests, I'll go out first."
Elf noticed that the other party's voice sounded a little dull, but he was focused on the upcoming prayer ceremony and didn't take it too seriously.
Besides, these lower-level acolytes were already trembling in front of him. If the other party's tone was natural, he might even become more suspicious.
"Get out," he said calmly: "No one is allowed to come in without my permission."
The monk nodded, retreated, and closed the door behind him.
Elf didn't think too much, turned around, held the Holy Emblem in his hand, and just closed his eyes and was about to recite the prayer, but at this time, he suddenly heard a low mechanical sound.
He was startled slightly and couldn't help but open his eyes again, but before he could find the source of the sound, something even stranger suddenly attracted his attention.
He saw two faint flames suddenly appeared on the altar. The flames showed a faint purple light, looking at him like a pair of eyes at that place.
Then the flames spread in all directions, gradually forming an ever-changing shape of a human being. The human-shaped purple flame may be just a vague silhouette in front of outsiders, but in front of this patriarch from Altori
In his eyes, he seemed to see something unbelievable.
He froze in place as if he had been hit by a petrification spell, opened his mouth wide, and subconsciously uttered a frightened question.
And inside the room, in the darkness, in full view of everyone.
Fang Yu only lightly patted his control gloves, and then heard the frightened and uneasy voice coming from his communication crystal.
"Liu, Master Liusha...you, shouldn't you be in Baicheng? How did you end up here in Gula...?"
That voice, which was not too high, fell into everyone's heart like a thunder.
And Fang Yu suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of shock.
