When Zhang Tianmiao found his deputy, the latter was confused in the corridor with several subordinates in black coats. "It's strange. There are no other exits in this corridor. How come you can't find anyone? Han Ming, did you really see him enter this corridor? Is it a mistake?"
Zhang Tianmiao looked up at this corridor. The deep arched structure leads to the end. There is a closed heavy wooden door with a copper lock hanging on the door. The torches on both sides are inserted into the gargoyles extending from the wall. In the mouth of the sculpture, the firelight flickered, reflecting brightly on the mahogany parapet.
"What's going on?" He walked over and asked.
"team leader."
"Captain, you're here." His deputy was a little embarrassed: "It's really strange. The person we chased here suddenly disappeared. There is obviously no other exit here, unless he can walk through walls or something else strange. Magical device."
"Have you used the magic detector to trace it back?" Zhang Tianmiao asked while his eyes were always wandering on the door at the end.
"I've tried it, but I didn't find any clues. It's like the guy disappeared out of thin air." The deputy replied a little annoyed. He was a member of the Stargate Rangers, not a private detective. If every stowaway is like this, it might be more promising if the government simply reorganizes an anomaly investigation team. But Zhang Tianmiao seemed not to be affected by his emotions. He pointed at the door and asked, "What's behind that?"
"A cellar."
"Have you gone down to see it?"
"I've seen it, it's empty down there."
"Does the empty cellar need to be locked?" Zhang Tianmiao turned around and asked.
The deputy suddenly got stuck.
"Open the door." Zhang Tianmiao said.
The deputy then asked someone to take out the key and walked up to open the door. "Where did you get this key?" Zhang Tianmiao looked at the key.
"I asked Mr. Mazak to get it before. I originally wanted him to find someone to open the door for us, but I didn't expect that he just gave us the key." The deputy replied.
At this time, the person holding the key had already opened the door. When the heavy wooden door was pushed open, there was a downward staircase, and a dark hole behind it. The deputy removed the torch from the gargoyle's mouth and came over. Zhang Tianmiao looked down through the firelight. He saw that the cellar was not deep. There was a layer of dust on the stone slabs. The firelight extended forward dimly, and the dust in the center was obviously thinner.
"What was there originally?" he asked, pointing.
The deputy and several other people looked at each other in confusion, and they couldn't give an answer. They were looking for someone. Who cares about what was originally stored in the cellar. Besides, it’s such a big thing, and that person can’t take it away.
Zhang Tianmiao took the torch from his hand and walked down the stairs a few steps. Others were a little confused about his actions. There was obviously nothing in the cellar. But Zhang Tianmiao carefully stared at the shadows scattered in the cellar, and suddenly said: "Go and get some more torches."
The deputy was about to turn around. The shadows in the cellar suddenly surged, like black smoke gathering together. When the smoke cleared, the figure of a short young man was revealed behind him.
He was wearing a cloak, holding a dark smoky quartz in his hand, and raised his head to look at a few people. The soft brim of the low-hanging hood covered half of his face, leaving only his chin and neck, and his silver, soft hair.
"Smoky quartz?" the deputy asked in silence.
"You are from the Chosen Military, why do you want to follow me?" the young man said, his voice rustling.
Zhang Tianmiao was slightly startled when he saw the other party's pointed canine teeth: "Lotao people?" This was not consistent with the target's description. However, the other party's behavior made him suspicious, and he asked casually: "You relied on this smoky quartz to sneak into the game, right? What is your purpose?"
"I remember that you don't interfere in the affairs between the indigenous people?" the young man replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
Zhang Tianmiao looked at him and slowly drew out his sword: "In principle, this is true, but now I am asking you this question in my personal capacity. The owner of this hotel is my friend."
The young man looked at him without saying a word.
"Captain?" The deputy was a little nervous. If this boy was not the target, their current actions would be against discipline.
"You guys step back, the operation is over, go back to the hall." Zhang Tianmiao said.
But he pulled out the sword completely, held it in his hand, and pointed it at the young man - it was a thin sword with a long and narrow blade, shining with a cold light, and it was gathered back to the cage handle.
While the two were confronting each other, a tremor spread along the ground of the hotel.
Zhang Tianmiao felt a shake and hurriedly held on to the wall. He heard his deputy scream from behind and realized something was wrong. Looking up, he saw the young man taking a step back, black smoke swirling under his cloak, completely covering him.
Black smoke surged up to the top of the cellar and spread toward the door. But part of it was still on the ground. Zhang Tianmiao rushed over and slashed with his sword. The blade passed through the smoke and cut into the air.
The smoke had gathered towards the ceiling. Zhang Tianmiao threw away the torch, handed the rapier from his right hand to his left, took out a blunderbuss with his backhand, used his thumb to pull the hammer open and prepared to shoot.
But at this moment, another tremor spread along the ground, and the entire hotel shook violently. Everyone was standing unsteadily and holding on to the wall.
"What's going on?" the deputy couldn't help but scream.
Zhang Tianmiao had to hold his sword on the ground. He looked up and saw smoke flowing along the ceiling to the corridor outside. He raised his hand and fired. As the fire bloomed, the projectile hit the smoke, and a muffled roar came from the black smoke, but it still rolled out of the corridor at the fastest speed.
It was at this time that everyone heard a scream coming from a distant place——
The screams rolled in like a wave, dimming the surrounding light. The flames on the torches were suppressed to a minimum, becoming as weak as a candle flame.
The surroundings couldn't stop getting dark.
…
The lights in Longjiao Hall were brightly lit.
Xueye Yaoyue listened to the people around her discussing the previous duel. No one expected that there would be a super upset in the finals. The main contestants participating in the finals were eliminated by a qualifying selector. This is unprecedented. The game was played in full view of the public, and there was no shady story behind it, just an amazing battle.
The audience is concerned about who Fang Plover is.
In fact, including the player from the El Paxin Craftsmen Association who abstained from the competition, this is already the second main draw player that Fang Plover has eliminated. People suddenly doubted that the final championship of this game would not be won by a qualifying player, right?
"What do you think?" Xueye Yaoyue sat back in her seat and typed on the glowing window with her slender fingers.
R: Not bad.
Bloody Night Demon Moon: That’s it?
R: Otherwise?
Xueye Yaoyue frowned and typed: "Don't pretend to be stupid, you know what I mean -"
R: Before I understand what you mean, I think you should turn off the tracking window first. Real-time transmission of video signals is really expensive.
Xueye Yaoyue raised her eyebrows in dissatisfaction: "What, it's not good to look at me more. Are you taking advantage of my absence to make fun of you?"
R:……
R: I care more about the person behind you. I think it’s best for you to stay away from him.
Xueye Yaoyue was stunned and subconsciously looked back. There is the center of the hall, and the ferocious and huge black dragon horn is hanging on the dome above. The dragon horn has been hanging here for decades, but no one knows who its owner is.
At this moment, there was a person standing blankly under the dragon horn, his head lowered, not knowing what he was thinking. He was an aborigine, wearing the clothes of a hotel doorkeeper. He seemed to be holding something in his hand, with traces of black smoke lingering around it.
Xueye Yaoyue glanced at the other person again and realized that the person had been standing there for a long time. She remembered that when she came back before, she saw the other party maintaining this posture and standing in that place.
She suddenly felt something was wrong, stood up, and wanted to find the nearby dwarf guards. But at this moment, the gatekeeper took a step forward, and the entire hall suddenly shook slightly.
Xueye Yaoyue only felt dizzy for a while, and her hands suddenly rested on the wooden table.
The staff on the field were cleaning up the field, while the naturalists and wizards were busy using magic crystals to rearrange the terrain for the next game. Hong Ye walked through the crowd and came to Fang Plover, preparing to return the clockwork fairy to he.
"You are very powerful. I am convinced that you lost." She said.
"The same goes for you." Fang Yu couldn't help but blush when he was praised, and replied very embarrassedly: "Miss Hongye, your fighting style is very unique, but in fact, the overload flow is not suitable for you."
After hearing this, Hongye couldn't help but look at the clockwork fairy in his hand, then at the big boy, and suddenly said: "Is this all you talk to girls?"
"Ah?" Fang Yu was stunned and didn't know what was going on.
At this time, Tian Lan was the first to rush up, screaming and congratulating Fang Plion: "You did it, Ai...Brother Xia Ya, that clockwork fairy is so handsome!" The little French girl looked very excited. It seemed that Fang Plover had won the competition, and she was happier than him.
Fang Plover had no choice but to smile back at her.
Aitila and others also came over, and the elf girl also smiled and nodded to him, followed by Jita and Hu Di. Finally, there was Luo Yu. The tall boy looked at Fang Plover with admiration. Among these people, apart from Hu Di, he was probably the only one who understood how amazing the former's operation was.
"Luo Yu, Jita." Hongye said at this time.
Jita and Luo Yu were startled when they saw her, and said nervously: "Sister Hongye." The two of them were just trainees of the Oak Knights of Tapolis, and the latter was not only a formal member, but also one of them The leader can be said to be the senior among seniors.
Hongye smiled: "You have found a good team."
Both of them looked at Fang Plover subconsciously.
Hongye also looked at the latter and asked again: "Are you a member of Elite's youth training team?"
Fang Yu shook his head.
The girl wondered: "Is that the Spear of the Silver Forest? Or the Silver Veslan, that's a bit far away."
"Brother Xia Ya doesn't have a guild. He is a lone ranger, Sister Hongye." Jita replied softly.
Hongye's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Are you interested in joining the Oak Knights of Tapolis? There are many beauties in our guild, little brother."
Fang Yu scratched his head in embarrassment after hearing this.
Jita lowered her head and pretended not to hear, while Luo Yu coughed twice.
But at this time, another voice came from behind several people: "Join the Silver Forest Spear."
Hong Ye frowned after hearing this voice, and turned around to see Wu Di and Liu Liyue walking over one after another.
Wu Di formally repeated to Fang Plover: "Silver Forest Spear is the first world branch of Silver Forest Crown, and our association is one of the top ten guilds in the Super Competitive China Division."
"The end of the top ten guilds." Hongye added.
"It's better than an unknown guild that appears from nowhere." Liu Liyue immediately retorted.
"The ranking of this unknown guild in the Sea of Clouds area is much higher than that of the Spear of the Silver Forest. It's ridiculous. You are not the only branch of the Crown of the Silver Forest." Hongye raised his eyebrows and sneered.
"My general is defeated," Liu Liyue said with disdain, "I can't even defeat a young boy."
"You——" Hongye was so angry that he almost exploded on the spot.
At this time, Tianlan finally reacted and said loudly: "Bah, brother Xia Ya is not a young boy. Besides, you are not the same. You will be here soon. I will carry him away next!"
Liu Liyue's eyebrows jumped: "What did you say?"
"That's enough," Wu Di finally couldn't listen anymore and interrupted the two of them: "Mr. Xia Ya, what's your decision?"
He looked at Fang Plover with a pair of dead fish eyes, a little lifeless.
"Stop dreaming. It's impossible for Brother Xia Ya to join the Silver Forest Spear, not even in this life," Tian Lan replied loudly.
"Your name is Xia Ya, how do you know that he will not join our guild?" Liu Liyue immediately asked.
Brother Ed is not called Char either. Tianlan cursed in her heart, but she refused to admit defeat and replied: "Of course I know, because... because, yes, because he has a grudge against the Spear of the Silver Forest!"
As soon as she said this, Hongye, Liuliyue and Wu Di all looked at Fang Plover with all six eyes.
"ah--?"
After hearing Tianlan's answer, Fang Yu couldn't say a word for a long time and was about to cry out of anger at this outspoken little girl. Not to mention that this is simply a misunderstanding. Even if it is not a misunderstanding, it cannot be said in front of others.
He was about to explain, but at this moment the ground in the hall suddenly shook violently, causing everyone to stagger. People quickly held on to tables and chairs before they could stand firm.
And a distant scream seemed to come from the distant horizon.
All the light sources in the hall dimmed at the same time, sound waves spread in all directions, and there was a sound of glassware breaking. On the stone walls around the hall, the flames of the torches in the mouths of the gargoyles were suppressed to a wisp, and the hanging lamps and candlesticks on the wooden tables were extinguished.
The entire Longjiao Hall seemed to have fallen into darkness in an instant.
There were screams of terror one after another, and the waiters, spectators, and dwarfs in the hall were all running away. Only the adventurer could calm down, but only temporarily. Everyone covered their ears and felt the ground shake slightly at this time, and smoke and dust were flying.
Fang Yu felt vaguely that this scene looked familiar. He subconsciously looked in that direction and happened to see the smoke filling the dome as if something huge was reviving. It spread its wings and flew down from there.
It landed in the middle of the hall.
That's a dragon -
…
