According to Sylvide, not many people actually know that she went underground.
Because Jeffreet's red team entered the ruins before her, and the Alice sisters had never met her, Fang Yu knew that what the other party said might be true after a quick deduction - she entered the ruins later than they did. , and the progress of Listener to the Rain is almost the same as them, so it is very possible that the two have no intersection.
And except for a few people who listen to the rain and the Jefflite red team, no one else will know who Sylvide is. Even the people of the Blood Oath are probably no exception, because There is no reason for the Jeffrit Red Team to share some of their own guild's secrets with subordinate guilds, unless the affiliation between the two is reversed.
In other words, the only knights who know this are only a few people around him and Miss Attila.
Among them, Box, Parker and Tenerik only learned the news from him after the eighth floor, so they can be excluded.
As aboriginals, Attila, the big cat man and Sylvide's maid had neither the motive nor the means to get in touch with the Jeffrit red team, so they did not consider it. In the same way, Tianlan can also be excluded, because the competition area she was born in is not a Chinese competition area, and she has no interest in the Jeflett Red Team, the Rain Listeners, or other forces.
Only Jita and Luo Yu are left, but Fang Pultru has considered that even if they are insiders of the Jefflite Red Team, the most information they have is that Sylvide went underground, and She wouldn't know who was around her, let alone where she would go.
Everyone gets along day and night, and Fang Yu is very aware of the noble lady's caution. How did Luo Yu and Jita get information that even he didn't have? Therefore, in this way, the suspicion between the two is not great.
There were only two possibilities left. The first thing he considered was whether Sylvide was lying——
But it seems unlikely. Those undead appear at the right time, but in fact they are not commanded by Sylvide. Otherwise, the gunners of the Jefflite red team on the platform will have to wait for them to deal with them?
Secondly, although there are these men in black around Sylvide, they have already identified themselves as humans or dwarves. Fang Plover listened carefully to the voices of these people, and there was nothing strange about them. Of course, it is not ruled out that the other party may have done it deliberately, but there is a more important point that is enough to wash away the suspicion on these people.
That's a detail that Fang Yu remembered. When the Jefflite Red Team was arguing with those guilds, they mentioned this sentence: "She killed so many people, not just the selectors, but also the people above." Det's rat village, and we chased that woman all the way to this place—'
This sentence seemed to contradict what Sylvide said, but looking back at it now, he found some doubts in it. Why chase? The chase must be one party in front and the other behind. Assuming that the fact exists that the Jeffleet Red Team chased Silvered to the twelfth floor, then the pursuer, the Jeffleet Red Team, must be on the Hill. Wade followed behind.
But in fact, Fang Plover still remembers that the dragon ship appeared long after Jefflite's red team went to the twelfth floor. This can also be supported by the words of the small group of adventurers they met after arriving on the twelfth floor. .
Naturally, there is no need for the Jeffrit red team to lie for Sylvester, which means that this may be the truth.
But if Sylvester didn’t lie, then the problem would be strange.
Fang Yu thought about it again and again, and then realized that he had missed a possibility from the beginning, that is, besides them, there was actually another 'person' who also knew very well who had entered the ruins. middle.
To be precise, it knows everyone who enters this ruins and knows when and where they will appear.
It's a dragon.
Over the years it was known as Toragotos.
It was like a flash of lightning flashed in Fang Yu's mind, and many things that were originally hidden in the fog seemed to be explained clearly in an instant - in Sophie's description, the old dragon had always been greedy, why did he suddenly treat him Strangers become generous?
Is it because of the Dragon Chosen?
And the reason for Teneric?
But Fang Yu only subconsciously raised his right hand and looked at the back of his hand.
There was a silver mark there, and he understood that that thing was once called the Blue Glory by Nicol Bolas. More than once, the dark dragon showed extraordinary greed for it.
And what if it was just to strengthen the black seal underground just for the sake of the agreement with the goddess Mirela? So why didn't the other party give permission to Silver Vislan and his party, insisting that this obviously Fenris' strongest combat force be allowed to stay outside the rules of the game?
This is illogical.
But in turn, it’s easy to understand——
He had been deeply doubtful before, but the Princess of Silver Vislan, because she had always been accustomed to Toragotos' greed, did not feel any vigilance about it.
The previous chaotic battle in the Saint-Peru Valley was full of doubts now. Although it was for the purpose of selecting the best, there was obviously a better way, wasn't there? Fang Yu carefully recalled the other party's indifference at that time. The giant dragon obviously didn't care much about people's lives and deaths.
In this case, what reason does it have to protect this island?
More importantly, locking them as the winners on the seventh floor for five hours will undoubtedly intensify the competition below - but the other party's purpose should not be to let more people reach the thirteenth floor. What?
The only problem now is——
What are the other party's goals and motives?
And who are the hunters in this dark underground? And who are the prey?
The figure of Sister Alice flashed through Fang Yu's mind involuntarily, but the only thing that puzzled him was why the other party had helped him before and helped him and Sylvide escape from the Jefflite Red Team. hand.
What is the relationship between the two?
Thinking of this, Fang Yu subconsciously turned on the communicator. As soon as the communication crystal lit up slightly, the frowning face of Her Royal Highness the Silver Wisland Princess appeared on the light page.
The other party looked a little worried, and immediately said when he saw him: "You came just in time, Ed, have you finished handling the matter over there?"
"What's wrong?" Fang Yu was stunned, vaguely having a premonition that something had happened.
"We encountered some attacks, and these things are a bit similar to the things you mentioned - I mean, dragon servants," Sophie replied: "If you have finished your work over there, you'd better come over and take a look. "
"..." Fang Plover was a little silent.
He had jokingly wondered if there would be a second Dark Dragon in the world?
But he never expected that his prophecy would come true - not only might there be a second Dark Dragon in the world, but its identity might be hidden even deeper than Nicol Bolas.
It was just a momentary distraction.
But Fang Yu also understood that time was tight, and immediately nodded and said: "I'll come over. In addition, I may have some things to tell you, but I won't be able to tell you for a while. Let's wait until I come over - and you should be careful." , those dark creatures are difficult to kill, it’s best to protect our priests.”
On the other side of the light page, Sophie nodded gently before closing the communication page.
She was stunned for a moment, then turned around and raised her head to look at a middle-aged man behind her - to be precise, it was a projected virtual image of a middle-aged man. The latter was dressed in a black windbreaker and had a majestic appearance. His appearance is that he is already over 40 years old - this is a very rare age for the chosen ones in this world, but there is no sign of the opponent weakening in sync with the starlight.
The man is carrying two black halberds, his eyebrows are angled into his temples, and his eyes are sharp under his eyebrows, just like two sharp swords. Although his temples are slightly gray, he still seems to have retained the high-spiritedness of his youth, and his momentum has not diminished at all. , even though he is a standard middle-aged uncle, he is still likely to attract the attention of many girls when walking on the street.
If Fang Plover is here, you will probably be a little surprised, because this middle-aged man is neither the current president of Silver Wisland nor the senior executive of the Sea Falcon Club behind it. Those people are often exposed on TV and in the community. It’s not as if Fang Piao didn’t recognize him.
But Her Royal Highness the Princess of Silver Wisland seemed a little uncomfortable in front of this middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man didn't pay attention to Sophie. He just looked at the direction where the communication light page disappeared, and then asked: "Is that the boy who killed you?"
Sophie frowned and explained: "It was just an accident."
"Then why does he wear such a weird mask and be afraid to see me? A man should be brave enough to act—"
"He has been wearing this mask all the time," Sophie said angrily: "...Besides, it's because of some other reasons, related to the Jefflett Red Team."
"Then don't use mithril, right? Is there something wrong with this guy's brain?"
"Dad," Sophie said a little angry: "People are free to wear whatever mask they like. Are you bored?"
The middle-aged man shrugged: "Okay, let's get down to business. I heard that you exchanged the Silver Vislan Angel to him. Could it be that you used my influence?"
"Are you overthinking it?" Sophie frowned: "What kind of influence can you have? It's just a fair transaction. Speaking of which, Silver Vislan took advantage. When have I ever suffered a loss in business?"
The middle-aged man glanced at her and laughed: "Well, of course my girl should be so powerful. Giving you to Silver Wislan is a big advantage for them."
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Sophie's face turned red in a rare way. She glanced at the elementalist girl next to her and said, "There are other people here. I'm going to be angry if you talk nonsense here again. "
The elementalist girl seemed to be used to such scenes and just smiled.
"I'm not bragging," the middle-aged man shook his head: "Non-synchronic people are rare nowadays. Hey, people's hearts are not as old as before. I think back then——"
"Su Changfeng!"
"Okay, okay, I won't talk anymore..." A middle-aged man named Su Changfeng rubbed his nose awkwardly: "But there is indeed such a guy recently. Hey, it's hard to explain in words. That guy created something for us. Caused a lot of trouble.”
Sophie was slightly startled: "Is there someone who is not homologous? What's going on?"
Su Changfeng was stunned for a moment before he realized what he had said. He coughed quickly: "Don't ask, it's confidential."
"Exactly," Her Royal Highness the Silver Wisland Princess wrinkled her nose like a girl: "It's not rare."
Su Changfeng shook his head and then said: "Okay, let's stop chatting. Girl, your people down below destroyed a regiment of Jefflite's red team, and the other party reported the complaint to your senior management, Silver The people in Wisland can't do anything to you, so they came to me and asked me to tell you, what's going on?"
He looked at the latter seriously again: "Don't even think about talking nonsense. I know you are not such a light-hearted person."
Sophie thought for a moment, bit her lip, and then replied in a low voice: "That's because the people in the Jefflite Red Team are responsible for themselves. Our people speculated that there was a dark evil god sealed there, and those guys colluded with the cultists." I colluded with the things down there, and for the sake of protecting my own people, of course I had no choice but to feel sorry for them."
The girl was slightly startled by the element next to her, and looked at her in surprise.
"Colluding with cultists?" Su Changfeng was also stunned and looked at his daughter: "Wait, do you have evidence? This matter can be big or small, especially now, don't make fun of your reputation. "
Sophie snorted: "Who do you think your daughter is? Of course I have proof."
After saying that, she played the scene of the members of the Blood Oath summoning the dragon servants that Fang Yu had sent to her, which was filmed on the fifth floor underground, and let the middle-aged people on the side watch it.
It was a short video. Sophie froze the scene, then looked at the latter and asked: "How about it, you should know these things, right?"
Su Changfeng nodded: "Servant of the Dragon, this is interesting. Why are there these things underground in Fenris? The tentacles of the Dragon Worship Cult extend so far?"
"Dragon Worship?" Sophie heard something keenly: "Speaking of which, are the recent events in Charter City related to the Dragon Witch back then?"
Su Changfeng opened his mouth to answer, but suddenly reacted and glared at his daughter, saying sternly: "Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked."
Sophie's thoughts were revealed and she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
Su Changfeng was silent for a moment, then clicked on the video again, watched it again, and then shook his head: "That's the person from the Blood Oath, right? What does it have to do with the people from the Jefflite Red Team?"
Sophie looked at him pretending to be surprised: "What is the relationship between the Blood Oath and the Jeflett Red Team, do you know?"
"This kind of thing cannot be brought to the table," Su Changfeng shook his head: "Forget it, you don't understand even if you tell me. Besides, this little evidence can't explain anything. Who doesn't do something shady in private among the big guilds? Things are not the same for you Silver Vislans."
"Dad, of course our Silver Wislan is different!" Sophie raised her eyebrows and said angrily.
"Of course, of course," Su Changfeng hurriedly changed his words: "Except for Silver Weislan, who doesn't know that you are a powerful formation?" Seeing his daughter's expression of hesitation, he quickly changed the topic: "But everyone is private There are always some small tricks going on underneath. This little evidence doesn't mean much. We also know that this violates the "Stargate Declaration", but as long as you don't put it out there, you can't convince others to believe that Jeffreet's red-coated team is iron. Are you determined to be anti-human?"
"I didn't say they were anti-human," Sophie replied, "but if they do something like this, I can't help but guard against them, right?"
"Of course, we have to teach them a lesson, okay, that's the end of the matter," Su Changfeng scratched his chin: "With this evidence, they really can't make excuses for what you did to them. After all, they didn’t take any responsibility - as for the rest of the matter, leave it to me."
Having said this, he glanced at his daughter and shook his head: "You are just too unreasonable."
Sophie smiled slightly when she heard this and did not refute.
"Is there anything else, little girl?" Su Changfeng asked: "You can leave first without me. I have a lot of things to do here."
"Don't worry," Sophie quickly stopped him: "Of course. Don't you often complain about the lack of manpower? I will recommend a talent to you. What do you think?"
"Talent?"
"Battle Craftsman."
"Oh?" Su Changfeng was stunned for a moment, and became a little interested: "Is that the kid just now? But I remember that there is also a combat craftsman missing in your team. Isn't it a defective product that you don't want? I recommend it to you. Dad, right?"
Sophie's face couldn't help but darken when she heard this. What kind of thing did she not want? She wanted it very much, but this guy was stubborn and decided that he didn't want to join the big guild. What could she do? My father really doesn't like to pick up any pot.
She said with a straight face: "Stand aside and just watch later. Don't make a sound."
"So strict?"
"Of course. Let me tell you, this guy is a real genius. Don't blame me for not reminding you."
"Oh?" Su Changfeng was slightly startled: "Even my girls praise him as a genius, so I really need to take a look."
Sophie nodded and then opened the communication channel.
Over there, Fang Plover had just rushed back to the direction of the square. He looked back and saw Sylvide and the others following him step by step - as if those men in black were his subordinates, but those people had previously At Sylvide's signal, the hood had already been pulled up again.
It seems that he is unwilling to show his true face to others easily.
Fang Plover's eyes turned to Sylvide. Although the injury on the latter's shoulder had been treated, it was still not completely healed, and blood was still seeping out from under the bandage. Her face was pale and her steps were light, as if she would be blown down by a gust of wind at any time - which made him a little concerned, so he turned around to help the latter, and asked in a low voice: "Am I walking too fast, do I need to take a rest? "
Sylvide looked at him, with a trace of satisfaction hidden in her cunning eyes, and shook her head slightly: "No, Captain, the more important thing now is to gain time."
Fang Yu nodded. He was not surprised that Sylvide could see the fact that the mysterious third party existed.
In fact, this noble lady has always had a much better mind than him. The reason why she didn't see through it before was just because of the limited information she had. Through the clues he revealed before, the other party had obviously realized the core of the problem.
However, Sylvide did not resist him, and even tilted her head slightly and leaned against him.
This made Fang Yu slightly uncomfortable, but when he looked back at the noble lady's haggard face, she thought for a moment and couldn't bear to refuse.
So he and Sylvide returned to the square together. The knights couldn't help but whistle when they saw this. The eyes of Dianmoyanqingzhu who ran over almost bulged out, looking at him with an expression of admiration.
Fortunately, Fang Yu's face had gradually been cultivated. He pretended that everything did not exist. He looked at the scene and found that the servants of the dragon had already been extinguished by the people of Silver Vislan.
Only a few black smoke-like corpses were left.
Fang Yu counted the corpses and found that there were seven or eight.
Then he turned back and asked the others: "Where did these things come from?"
"From behind us." Before the knights could answer, Sophie's voice came from the communicator. She looked at Fang Plover and Sylvester next to him curiously, with a look of amazement in her eyes. Then he said: "It's not just these things, you'd better take a look at this."
After saying that, she asked a knight to come up and take Fang Plover to one side of the square.
There is an obsidian obelisk, which can be seen everywhere in the underground ruins, but this one is a little different - traces of black mist visible to the naked eye are seeping out from the obsidian obelisk.
Like liquid nitrogen, the smoke hung down from the obelisk and slowly accumulated on the ground, forming a diffuse black smoke.
"This is……?"
"Those things were formed from the black smoke." Sophie replied.
"How many of these are there?"
"A lot," she said, "Especially on the way here, I had people go back and have a look. The situation back there is much more serious than here. I suspect that this ruin is already filled with such dragon servants. "
Fang Yu was silent for a moment.
Someone is blocking their escape route.
The words described by Sophie further verified his guess, and then he said: "I actually have some guesses, but before that, I want to ask you a question, Miss Sophie."
"what is the problem?"
"I want to ask a question about the Rain Listeners."
…
