"Mr. Ed."
While Fang Yu was still thinking about these messy things, a soft voice came, making him stunned for a moment, and he raised his head in surprise.
The owner of the voice was a somewhat frail girl. Her pale skin was like a piece of paper that had been wiped many times, so that it was a little transparent. But she was in good spirits, with a grateful smile on her face. She supported Hu Di's hand, and the two of them walked slowly to him.
The girl was still wearing the attire she wore in the illusion, but she had a brooch on her chest. The pure white unicorn was particularly dazzling in the sun.
"Ed..." Hu Di stood in front of him awkwardly, as uneasy as a child.
The ages of the two seemed to be reversed at this moment.
The latter was in rags and dusty, looking like a ridiculous beggar. Before he could say anything, his eyes turned red and his voice was choked with sobs, so that the second half of his sentence was sobbed that it was almost impossible to form a sentence.
Because Hu Di simply doesn’t know how to describe it——
In the end, it all turned into a dream. In that dream, it was the best ending that he had never even imagined. But when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that all the changes started from what the young man in front of him said to him.
Because after that, all reality became a miracle.
And he, like the prisoner who was released at the last moment of execution, could only burst into tears in front of the messenger who brought the gospel.
After Fang Luo looked at the two of them in shock for a moment, a smile of the same gratification quietly bloomed on his face. He smiled extremely happily - that smile seemed to come from the heart, as sincere as a child.
The feeling was like a warm current pouring into his heart, so it was so beautiful that it was beyond words, because at that moment, Fang Yu suddenly understood the meaning of all these things he did.
The illusion was full of dangers.
And the road in front of us is so long that it seems to have no end.
However, in the dark and gloomy storm, people's struggles and efforts are not in vain, so everything is valuable.
Fang Yu raised his head and blinked hard to prevent others from seeing the red corners of his eyes.
He thought of everything that happened in the elven ruins, where under the dark night, he tried his best but could not restore the ending of Dawn Star.
But today, he finally has the ability to change everything.
Miss Scarpet's words still ring in my ears.
"Are you still talking nonsense, little guy?"
"But this is really not a big lie, Miss Scarpet," Fang Yu felt determined in his heart, because one day, he would fulfill all his promises.
He then turned around, smiled and said to Hu Di: "Why are you crying, Hu Di, you hugged the beauty back, didn't you? Speaking of which, I haven't congratulated you for winning money from the Artisan Challenge. Is it for treating guests?"
Hu Di was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xisi with a red face, not knowing what to say: "But I...all the money was used..."
Shizu covered her mouth and chuckled.
Fang Yu then looked at the latter: "How about it, are you still used to the new body?"
The girl nodded slightly and stroked the brooch on her chest: "Everything is fine, thank you, Mr. Ed. It's just that everything... is too beyond my expectation..."
Fang Plover nodded.
The older knight looked at the two men and nodded in the same way.
"This is the hope that Miss Misu has left for you. Cherish it, Xisi," Fang Plover looked at the brooch and said, "One day, you will understand how precious this is, because you will use your greatest kindness to It was left to Doriphon, so this city also leaves its most hope to you.”
"But what exactly is this..." Shizu still seemed a little confused.
Fang Yu only said three words to the two of them as the answer to that question.
Dragon Knight——
A gentle breeze blew through the square.
There was a moment of unusual silence among the ruins, with only a soft rustling sound, as if telling an ancient story from a long time ago. The girl carefully took off the brooch and held it tightly in her hand.
It was two honest hearts recognizing each other.
After a while, Hu Di gradually adjusted his mood.
Fang Yu and this guy made some jokes about the Artisan Challenge that day, which made the other person look less nervous. However, Tianlan was definitely going to cause trouble for Hu Di. This was not a joke - the little girl was rubbing her eyes. People who don’t get into the sand.
Hu Dizheng was startled.
At this time, Hongye suddenly walked over with a serious face and whispered to the two of them: "Ed, there are people from the Dragon Fire Guild and Dragon Worshipers operating outside."
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, then remembered that what happened here was far from over. Since the people of Hansen and the Oak Knights can survive the illusion, the Dragon Fire Guild and the Dragon Worship Cult, which are already dominant, will only have more survivors, not to mention that the other parties may still have people left outside the illusion.
These people failed in the illusion, but in reality they suffered almost no loss in strength. Without the backup from Tapolis, and there are no restrictions in the illusion, the current situation is probably worse than in the illusion. It's even more severe.
Fang Plover also frowned: "Where are they?"
"Those people were sneaking around the outside of the square. After being discovered by our people, they fled far away." Hongye replied.
After Fang Yu thought for a moment, he made a decisive decision: "They are waiting for support. The other party's people mainly stayed in the direction of Hostings Cathedral and Hagston Cemetery in the illusion. According to our encounter, the other party should also have left the illusion." The last location in the illusion. The upper city is to the northeast of here. We have to evacuate this ruins immediately from the southwest, which is exactly the direction of Fisherman's Lane. Rhett and Luo Yu can meet you there, Mr. Dict. and Parker know the location, and ask them to take you there.”
"Them?" Hongye looked at him suspiciously, hearing what he meant: "What about you?"
Fang Yu looked outside the square and frowned: "I haven't seen Sylvide and her maid since I left the illusion. I'm worried that something happened to them. I have to look around here before leaving here. one look."
"No," Hongye stared at him and frowned, with a look of disapproval: "It's too dangerous for you to stay alone. They may have left on their own."
"Impossible," Fang Yu shook his head: "I know Miss Sylvide, she is definitely not that careless."
"I heard Jita talking about that woman," Hongye told him: "She has ulterior motives for you, Ed. As a friend, I am reminding you. She may not have any malicious intentions, but you don't need to be too sincere."
"I know there may be some elements of joking in this, but since Ms. Sylvide calls me captain, I must take this responsibility," Fang Pliance has always been very clear in his heart, but he has also always been clear that he can make his own judgment. Method of value: "Miss Sylvide has her own judgment, but I also have my own judgment."
"Moreover, there are Miss Attila and Jita. I asked Tian Lan to hide in the Hagston Cemetery area. They may not know what happened in the illusion now. Now of course I have to take them away."
Fang Yu's words were reasonable and Hongye could not help but fall silent after hearing this.
But the way she looked at the other person was slightly strange.
Fang Yu's words touched her quite a bit. She knew that in the early Stargate era, the older generation of selectors could also see such a sense of responsibility.
But today, such electors have become increasingly rare.
And precisely because it is so rare, people can’t help but identify with it from the bottom of their hearts.
After Hongye was stunned for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said to him: "Then be careful."
"Don't worry, I still have this," Fang Yu took out a brass-cased sphere and shook it in front of her, smiling: "Compared to the operation of the clockwork fairy, Miss Hongye, you can't compare to me."
These words immediately wiped out any emotion she had just felt. She gritted her teeth and said to the other party: "I'm reminding you to be careful not to trap Ji Ta, you brat!"
Fang Yu laughed, then turned back to give instructions to Hu Di, Dict and others.
The Papalal man also said that he would go rescue people with Fang Plover, which made Fang Plover a little surprised. Why did this guy suddenly change his temper?
In the end, the truth was exposed by Hong Ye's few words. As expected, this guy has always been obsessed with the 'treasure' underground in Hostings.
Naturally, Fang Yu would not take this troublemaker with him, so he refused.
After everyone gathered together, it was Hu Di and Xisi's turn to say goodbye to Fang Pliance. Afterwards, Hongye walked up again, looked at him seriously, and suddenly said:
"You really should come to us, Ed, and you must consider my suggestion carefully. Because there is no place more suitable for you than Tapolis - at least in Aitalia, only here can you find someone you agree with." idea."
If someone else said this to him, Fang Plover would definitely sneer at him.
His experience at the Elven Ruins made him have no favorable impression of the so-called Grand Guild. But Hongye was different. Although he didn't say it, after the two adventures, he had already regarded the other party as a comrade who could share life and death.
And Fang Yu knew that with Hongye's character, he would never say this to him for no reason.
It's just that he has his own way and will never be easily swayed by the words of others.
Fang Yu smiled slightly and nodded to the latter: "I will seriously consider this, Miss Hongye. Tappolis is a good place, but there may not be only one relationship between friends."
Hongye looked at him with a sense of loss. She knew that this was actually a tactful rejection.
She really hopes that the other person will join the Knights.
Because she is sure that this young man will achieve much higher than her in the future, and she even has a vague feeling that the other party will bring different changes to the Knights, which may be the first step for Tapolis to enter the second world. An opportunity.
If Fang Plover is willing to come, she is even willing to give up her position and resources and let the other party replace her and become the core of Tapolis in the future.
But unfortunately, the other party is destined not to be the one who belongs to a small place like Tapolis.
Hongye sighed, but he was not too disappointed.
At least Fang Yu is right, there may not be only one relationship between friends. She knew that with this guy's temperament, being able to say such things to her at least meant that he had a good impression of the Knights.
At least Silver Forest Spear did not receive such treatment.
Thinking like this, she felt a little better. After Fang Plover nodded, she led everyone out of the Gray Oak Square.
But not far away, the alchemist lady of the Oak Knights of Tapolis looked back in this direction, but only saw Fang Plover waving to them.
Hongye was still a little disappointed in her heart, always feeling that she had missed something.
But in fact, if it weren't for the knights of Tapolis who wanted her to lead them away, and if the recall captain was still here, she would have stayed and completed this mission with them no matter what.
It's a pity that reality has no if.
Fang Yu looked at Hu Di and Xi Si from a distance, who turned around three times. It wasn't until he saw each other disappearing outside the square that he stood up from his hiding place.
I felt a little unexpectedly moved in my heart——
This feeling came from the first time he found the Etalia he knew - friendship and bonds, adventures and encounters, and everything behind it.
He held up the clockwork fairy in his hand, and the delicate brass-carved structure vibrated its wings with a buzzing sound, flying high into the sky.
Fang Plover looked up and watched the small thing turn into a shining point.
In the blue sky there, white clouds formed long tracks. Following the long wind tens of thousands of meters high, they slowly drifted towards the sea of the sky in Aitaria.
The thin fairy wings only carried a bizarre dream, and it flew higher and higher until it overlooked the earth.
Doriffin in the forest.
That moment was like the starting point of this dream.
…
A thin sound came from above the cave, a rustling sound, like the sound of something digging out.
There was a pungent musty smell permeating the darkness, and the corridor was narrow and damp, but not enough to make people hit the wall. Because there are clusters of luminous mushrooms growing in the corners. These strange plants have curved umbrella handles and look like colorful goose-neck bottles in the various fluorescent colors.
But suddenly there was a crash and one side of the cave collapsed, revealing a small entrance next to it. Tianlan and Jita stood cautiously on the other side of the cave, poked the floor behind the corridor with Attila's spear, and then whispered: "It seems there is no problem."
"But I always feel that this place has become a little different since before." The underground is wet and cold, not at all like the stuffy heat of underground corridors in other places. It seems to be air-conditioned, making people's hair stand on end.
Jita put her little hands to her mouth, breathed a faint white breath, frowned and said to Tianlan.
"That's true," Tian Lan frowned as she looked at the skull of a rodent that had been dead for who knows how long in the corridor: "I do feel the same way, but the fact is that nothing has changed."
The two couldn't help but turn around and look at the elf lady behind them.
Attila's eyes looked into the depths of darkness.
As a believer of Amaya, she is indeed the most sensitive to changes in nature. From the moment the illusion changed, she had already noticed something was wrong.
The most profound change is that the vague connection with nature in the illusion becomes real after a certain moment.
It felt like suddenly returning to reality.
But faintly, the thing at the other end of the corridor made her feel even more uneasy. She was close to the thing, but hesitated.
She didn't know why she had to come to this place, especially with Jita and Tianlan beside her.
Then.
She saw the door.
A rusty iron door sleeping in the darkness.
…
