Chapter 73: The old chess game XI

 Hansen couldn't help laughing when he saw the little girl's disappointed look, and said with a smile: "Ha, but you don't have to be depressed. The only possibility that people haven't tried yet is to solve Jeffrey's curse. Right now we are lucky.

It’s good enough, maybe things will be different tonight.”

Tianlan was obviously more satisfied with this answer. She observed the hall carefully, as if she wanted to find some clues that were different from the past. Although our little French girl had never been to this place before.

Fang Yu couldn't help but shake his head when he saw her like this. However, Tian Lan's inference was somewhat consistent with his.

Attila was chatting quietly with the noble girl on the side. Sylvide listened and nodded with a smile, then walked over and interrupted to ask the other party if there was anything he should pay attention to in the mission later.

In any area of ​​Kaolin-Ithulian, even in the salons of nobles, it is difficult to see beauties of the level of noble ladies, let alone adventurers.

Her inquiry obviously caused quite a commotion. Beautiful ladies are always given preferential treatment, and Hansen is no exception. This experienced adventurer in his forties, who prides himself on being rich in experience, couldn't help but feel...

A little at a loss, he took off his hat and gave her a crooked salute.

Then, while others were busy adding to the task, he carefully explained the precautions for the task to Fang Plover and others. In fact, it is easy to say, and can be simply summed up in one sentence to follow the others.

"But this is no joke. The mission is not difficult. There may be battles, but the key is to keep up with others. You must not enter the foggy places in the illusion. There have been cases where people were unable to come out after entering.

Things, you chosen ones are no exception." Hansen said somewhat seriously.

His words startled Tianlan and Jita.

Sylvide also patted her chest, turned around, deliberately bit Fang Plover's ear, and said with a clear breath: "Then you must protect me later, captain."

When the young men in Hansen's team saw this scene, they all looked disappointed or envious, wishing they could come up and stab this damn guy to death with their own bodies.

Fortunately, the deterrence of the combat craftsmen still exists, and no one dares to take action and come up to provoke. However, Fang Yu could not hear the teasing intention of the noble lady, and said with a helpless smile: "Of course there is no problem, I hope

Miss Erwede."

Sylvide smiled slightly, took a step back and stood behind Attila.

While several people were talking, the person Hansen sent upstairs had not yet returned with Parker. However, the scholar who had arrived during the day was late and was still standing alone and watching with cold eyes.

Fang Yu glanced at this man, and felt that his temperament was somewhat similar to that of Mr. Knight in their team. The old knight Dict was also alone. Unless asked, he rarely participated in their meetings.

dialogue.

He seemed to be really here to investigate this place. His eyes never left the hotel and he was always looking at the interior furnishings. However, Fang Yu was a little curious. Is such an investigation really meaningful?

Just when he was suspicious, the door of the hotel was suddenly pushed open, and a man walked in from outside.

At first, everyone thought it was a ghost guest and didn't pay much attention to it. However, after the other party walked in quickly and saw them, they couldn't help but stop and looked a little surprised.

Only then did the others look over and realized that this man was probably an adventurer, but they had never seen such a down-and-out adventurer. It was polite to say he was dressed in rags, but he looked like a beggar. His outer robe was stained with dust, and there were still stains in several places.

It was covered with green moss and was so tattered that it was almost impossible to tell what its original style was. Even the trousers underneath had holes in them, exposing the bare knees.

The other person was unkempt and his face was covered in black and gray. Only his eyes could still see some color. He pursed his mouth tightly and had some stubble on his chin. He looked as if he hadn't slept well for several days and nights, and he looked exhausted.

.

But Fang Yu recognized this person at a glance: "Hu Di?"

The man was even more stunned. He looked over and saw Fang Plover and Aitila in the crowd. He couldn't help showing an embarrassed look on his face and turned sideways subconsciously.

"Hu Di!" But Tian Lan didn't care and didn't mind being dirty. She ran over and grabbed Hu Di's dirty sleeves: "Okay, I found you, how could you lie to us!?

"

Hu Di was startled, then turned around and stammered: "Tian, ​​Miss Tianlan, hello, how did I lie to you?"

"Not yet," Tian Lan said angrily: "You said you and Miss Spoon live in El Paxin, so Jita and I spent the whole afternoon looking for it!" She raised her hand and made an exaggerated gesture.

"You know what, all afternoon, we made that old guy say that we are not normal. It's so disgusting."

Hu Di breathed a sigh of relief and was thinking about how to answer.

But at this time, Fang Yu came over and couldn't help but ask: "Hu Di, what's wrong with you? How did you end up like this?" He looked at Hu Di up and down, and he was really confused. Speaking of which, they themselves

It has only been two weeks since we separated from Traveler's Rest, but the other party's appearance seems to have been a century.

Even if he went to participate in a world war and saved the world, he wouldn't be like this when he came back, right?

"Hey," Hu Di couldn't help but feel a little apologetic when he looked at the concerned expression under the other person's mask. He was silent for a moment before replying: "Ed, it's a long story. Actually, Miss Spoon is gone.

, I’m looking for her.”

"What!" Before Fang Yu could speak, Tianlan made a sound that was more than ten decibels louder, which made him couldn't help but rub his ears: "Miss Spoon is missing. How could this happen? Is she here?

"

Hu Di hesitated for a moment and then nodded. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought her here."

As he said this, the grown man's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears actually fell down. "It's all my fault. I knew she wanted to say goodbye to the life of an adventurer, so why did I force her to come to this place? I, I really

The number one idiot in the world."

Seeing his sincere affection, everyone couldn't help but feel silent for a while. Especially Tianlan, she always knew that Hu Di had a good relationship with his cat, but she didn't expect that the relationship would be so good.

Although this little French girl is quick-talking, she has a soft heart. She no longer cares about what happened before, and quickly comforts her: "Forget it, forget it, aren't we all here? We will help you find her. This place

Although it’s big, those slow undead creatures can’t do anything with a cat, Miss Spoon will always be fine.”

Hu Di wiped away his tears and cheered up a little. He didn't know if Tian Lan's words had any effect. He shook his head and said, "Thank you, no need. I'll just search here slowly by myself." Tian Lan said

That's right, Miss Spoon...she will always be fine."

Fang Yu felt that the logic of his words was a bit strange, but at this time Hansen also came up, looked at his pocket watch and said to the others: "Everyone, it is already a quarter past twelve o'clock, the mark should have appeared, yes

Aren't you ready?"

This conversation was normal at first, but unexpectedly Hu Di's expression changed after hearing this, as if he remembered something, and blurted out: "Wait a minute, are you here for the mission of Dolifen's Three Things?"

His surprise startled everyone, and everyone couldn't help but turn around and look at him. Especially Hansen, who frowned and looked at the beggar and said: "Who are you? What mission do we have to do with you?"

Does it matter?"

Hu Di seemed a little confused. He scratched his hair anxiously, and suddenly said to Fang Plov: "Ed, do you believe me?"

Fang Yu couldn't help but recall what happened at Traveler's Rest. He met Hu Di at the craftsman competition. At that time, he was ignorant and didn't understand anything. Although the other party was a bit boastful, in general he was still

A nice person.

So he nodded.

Hu Di immediately grabbed his hand and said to him nervously: "Then let me tell you, this mission is a little different from the past. You should leave this place quickly, especially with the two trainees Tianlan and Jita.

.”

"Trainer?" Fang Yu was stunned. When he specifically mentioned trainee, he must be talking about something related to life danger. Because most people in Aitaria can be resurrected in the temple, but trainee

is an exception.

But he was still a little surprised. There was obviously no outsider about Jeffrey's matter at that time, so how did Hu Di know about it? He couldn't help but ask: "Hu Di, how did you know that the mission here was different? How did you know about Jeffrey's matter?

?”

"Jeffrey?" Hu Di was stunned: "What Jeffrey?"

Before he finished speaking, Hansen saw his men running down the stairs with the Papalar man. As the man ran, he shouted at them:

"Boss, something's wrong!"

Hansen raised his eyebrows and asked loudly: "What's going on?"

"That's right, the brooch was not found in room 3007." The man ran over and replied breathlessly.

Parker, on the other hand, still looked like he was still awake, looking at Fang Plover and the others in confusion, as if he still hadn't figured out where he was.

Hansen was stunned: "The brooch was not found, what does that mean?"

"There's just no brooch, boss. I've searched inside and outside. You know, that thing was very conspicuous. It was on the cabinet to the left of the bed, but it wasn't there. I also opened it in the drawer and looked, what?

nothing."

"What about the time? Have you checked the time? Or has someone jumped in first?"

"Absolutely not. I can guarantee that I was the first one to go in. When I went in, Mr. Parker was still sleeping soundly."

"You are so fast asleep, how can you comment on a Papal gentleman like this? I was just taking a nap, a nap." When Parker heard this, he immediately became energetic. "What's more, I haven't been sleeping since I woke up.

I haven’t eaten anything and haven’t had snacks all afternoon. The service in this hotel is really bad.”

It's a pity that no one paid attention to him. Originally, Hansen was a little suspicious that the little dwarf had taken something, but after hearing what he said, his suspicions were gone. Besides, the other party really didn't have the need. Even if he secretly took the Mark of the Faithful, there would still be nothing left.

As expected, the next two pieces of equipment are equally divided, which is unnecessary.

Just when he was puzzled, he suddenly heard a low cry from his subordinates. Hansen turned around subconsciously, and then saw the most incredible scene.

When his men said those words, all the 'people' in the hall stopped. To be precise, all the ghost guests, ghost waiters, and even the ghost dwarfs stopped at the same time.

the movements of the hands.

Then he looked at them with a strange attitude.

It was strange because the ghost guests who had their backs turned to them did not turn around, but turned their heads 180 degrees on their necks and looked directly at them.

This scene was so creepy that Jita screamed in fright.

The hall is becoming silent

Fang Yu was the first to react. He grabbed Jita and stepped back. The walkers around him started to move and blocked everyone. Then he turned around and asked Hansen in a low voice: "Is this also the case?"

Part of the mission, Mr. Hansen?"

"How is this possible?" Hansen was also stunned. He had come here to do this mission more than once or twice. Although he could not get Dolifen's three things every time, he still had no worries about protecting himself during the mission.

To be honest, adventurers agree that this mission is not actually very dangerous.

But he has never encountered such a situation.

However, he was still a veteran. He was surprised in his heart, but at the same time he was suddenly alert. Without saying a word, he pulled out the long sword with a clang. His movements were like the fuse of a chain reaction, causing the people closest to them to

A ghost guest in the shape of a tall, thin man suddenly let out a terrifying scream and rushed over.

The sharp roar made everyone cover their ears.

And Fang Yu clearly saw that the ghost's nails became sharp and long in mid-air, like claws, and he subconsciously wanted to let the walkers attack. But the ordinary-looking adventurer uncle in his forties

, the reaction was extremely fast, he raised his shield to block the ghost's claws.

Then he backhanded his sword and pierced the ghost's chest.

Ordinarily, the ghosts of Aitaria should be spiritual creatures, and physical attacks have limited effect on them. However, Hansen's sword not only seemed to hit the entity, but also caused the ghost guest to let out a shrill scream. Fang Yu even looked at it.

By the time it staggered and fell backward, a long and narrow wound on its chest was bleeding out.

"This..." Fang Yu was stunned when he saw this scene. This completely exceeded his understanding of the undead, not to mention ghosts, including skeletons, zombies and vampires. They would not bleed when injured.

"Don't be dazed," Hansen turned around and said to them: "There is a problem with this mission. The people who are covering you should exit first. The hotel is full of enemies."

"But these"

"These are not real undead, they are phantoms. They are real 'living people' in the phantom." Hansen replied very skillfully: "But be careful, dying in this phantom will also kill you, so

Now we have to find a way to get out of this place."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "Be careful behind you!"

Then I just heard a loud bang

Everyone couldn't help but turn around subconsciously, only to see that the door of the hotel was shattered from the outside to the inside. Amidst the smoke and dust, fragments of the wooden door fell one after another, and behind the collapsed door, a group of square plovers appeared. They never expected that

people.

The cloaks are red, and the whole body is covered with armor. The 'Flamingo' type 17 akm magic furnace on the lower back is particularly eye-catching due to its relatively large size. These people wear full-face helmets, covering their faces with almost only a pair of eyes.

, and the weapon in his hand is the standard imperial spear.

In Aitaria, only one type of people dress like this.

"Knights of the Morning!?" Fang Plover was shocked. Isn't that the Guards of Kaolin-Ithurion? This is one of the strongest forces on the ground in the kingdom. Usually only members of the royal family and local governors can mobilize them.

.

The other party seemed to have bad intentions.

"Be careful," Aitila, as a believer in Amaya, smelled something wrong immediately: "This is also a ghost."

"Wait, this is a ghost too?"
