In a daze, Fang Plover saw a bonfire.
There were piles of dead branches in the firelight, sitting on the forest floor. The branches melted and the leaves curled, turning into little sparks that danced in the heat and rose into the night sky. Night sky - He just woke up and looked around drowsily.
There was a bonfire, the snow had been swept away or had melted. A tree trunk was broken overhead, and the cypress-shaped branches formed a simple shed. The firelight reflected the darkness of the pine needles. Outside was a dark woodland, and it seemed to be snowing, and the snow rustled as it fell.
There is a huge rock on the other side. There is a man sitting next to the rock, leaning on the rock, with one leg flat and the other sitting with his knees bent. There is a huge sword on his thigh, and one hand is resting on his knee. On top, one hand holds the hilt of the sword.
The other party was looking at him with his head tilted, with a faint fire in his eyes, but he didn't speak or take any action.
Fang Yu suddenly recalled what had happened before. He sat up and looked at the warrior king. But Odin didn't say anything, so Fang Plover looked around with some confusion. There was just a strange forest next to him, and he didn't know where he was.
He was a little confused for a moment. It was understandable that the other party did not kill him. Perhaps it was to find out the whereabouts of the Duke's youngest son. But why bring him to this place? The surrounding area didn't look like Ragnarok's camp. There was no fire in the distance, and he thought Ragnarok was stationed in the city.
Or is this actually somewhere in Dulum? Fang Plover raised his head, but the spire of the temple could not be seen in the distance, and the stretching mountains at the bottom of the cave in the south seemed too close. The nearby area seemed to be located in the hills south of Dullon.
He turned around and looked at the other party with some confusion. He didn't understand the other party's intention for a while. However, if the warrior king asked about the whereabouts of the Duke's young son, he promised the great master Ye Hua that he would do it anyway. Will not speak.
I just hope that the nearest Resurrection Temple is not too far away——
But Odin didn't speak, just looked at him.
This made Fang Yu feel a little on pins and needles. He didn't understand what the other party was trying to do, and he couldn't help but feel a little hairy in his heart. In the end, he couldn't stand being stared at anymore, so he couldn't help but protest weakly: "I don't know anything."
"oh."
Fang Yu was suffocated and suddenly felt that he was being self-inflicted. He quickly changed his words and said: "According to the "Stargate Declaration", Mr. Odin, the elector cannot restrict the freedom of the elector. Of course, the aborigines also Can't."
He deliberately mentioned the other person's name, which meant that he knew the other person's identity.
"I didn't restrict your freedom," Odin replied, his voice calm and gentle: "It's seventeen degrees below zero outside, and your map, dry food and compass are all here with me. There is a level 25 evil-toothed rat in the forest. People are out and about, they are all hungry in winter, and the snowstorm will come in three hours—"
At the end, he added: "Okay, you can leave."
Fang Yu stood up and sat back down after listening.
He is not mentally retarded, and of course he will not ask why the other party confiscated his map and compass. They are trophies, and the "Stargate Declaration" does not stipulate this. Of course, he could have died, but who would die if he could survive?
"I can commit suicide." Xianggui thought so, but Fang Yu didn't admit defeat at all.
Odin took a knife from his pocket and threw it to him.
Fang Yu's face darkened when he saw this, he picked up the knife slowly, and made a gesture on his chest - but he was a little afraid of death, so he gave up in the end.
He then raised his head and looked at the other person steadily, as if he wanted to find out from the warrior king what kind of medicine he was selling. But at this moment, a light page suddenly popped up in front of his eyes, "'Odin' invites you to join the 'Ragnarok' guild."
Yes or no?
Fang Yu was stunned and almost made a mistake with his hand shaking. He raised his head and looked at the other person, what the hell is this?
Of course, he refused without thinking. But as soon as he refused, the light page popped up again, "'Odin' invites you to join the 'Ragnarok' guild." Again? Fang Yu was slightly startled, but his temper also rose - I won't join in.
Once again rejected, once again the glossy page popped up. After repeating this four or five times, the light page was finally not sent again.
After the last transmission, Odin only looked at him and said nothing.
The two of them were in a deadlock for a while, the air was a little quiet, and the only sound that seemed to be the crackling of the bonfire was among the falling snow.
However, Fang Yu also roughly understood that this great god did not seem to be coming for the Duke's young son. As for the other party's intentions, he had some vague guesses. But for now, it's better to act stupid.
Anyway, I don’t know anything - Fang Plover’s self-hypnosis.
Odin glanced at him, probably not surprised.
He was silent for a moment, then suddenly took out something and threw it over. The thing drew an arc, crossed the bonfire, landed at his feet, and rolled twice. Fang Yu lowered his head and saw that it was a clockwork goblin. The copper shell was shining brightly in the firelight.
Isn't the other party a warrior? Why is he carrying this thing with him? Fang Yu was startled, but then he saw Odin pointing at the clockwork goblin and motioning for him to pick it up - he only picked up the clockwork goblin and explored it, only to realize that it wasn't his own thing?
Fang Yu was startled and quickly checked his chest, only to find that the black crystal was no longer there. He couldn't help but want to cry. How come this great god didn't make any sense? Everything was wiped away by him.
Fortunately, he didn't panic. After all, this was not a blank slate equipment. It was in the opponent's hands for a while, and it would be returned to him as information after he was resurrected. But what does it mean when Odin throws this thing to him? Is it to remind him that he has no equipment and should be wiser?
Fang Yu always felt that the other party was not that boring. Even if he used his full strength, why would he dare to be ignorant in front of a Ten Kings?
But when he looked up, he saw Odin raising his finger and pointing at the clockwork goblin in his hand, and then pointed at himself. What does it mean? Fortunately, Fang Yu was also a genius, and he understood the other party's thoughts immediately.
Did Odin mean that he would use this clockwork fairy to throw him away?
What's so difficult about this?
If it weren't for this current situation, Fang Pliance couldn't help but feel a little proud, after all, this was his specialty. However, he had never seen such a strange request. For the sake of safety, he couldn't help but ask: "Is this going to attack you?"
Odin nodded.
Fang Yu was about to take action, but he couldn't help but think of the despicable behavior of some big cat people called Paladins, and added: "...Wait a minute, you won't beat me up in self-defense, will you?"
Odin took a deep breath. He had seen many young people in the guild, but this was the first one who was so boring.
He replied word for word: "If you don't hurry up, I will beat you up right away."
If Fang Plover has any greatest advantage, it must be that he is obedient. After hearing this, he quickly closed his mouth and threw the clockwork fairy forward vigorously - because he was attacking a warrior king, out of respect for him. Almost using all his strength.
I saw the clockwork goblin making a flat parabola, shooting straight towards Odin. The warrior king raised his hand to catch the clockwork goblin with a 'click' without even thinking about it. But without stopping for a moment, he threw his backhand towards Fang Plover, hitting the young man right in the face with a 'pop' sound.
Fang Plover screamed and fell upside down.
After a while, he got up holding his head and looked at the other party with an aggrieved face - why did he promise not to hit him?
Odin managed not to get angry with great difficulty, and asked calmly: "Is this how you usually use the Clockwork Fairy?"
"But you asked me to attack you..."
"Please use the battle craftsman method."
Fang Yu suddenly realized it and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed - he was used to it, he was really used to it.
He then rubbed his red forehead, picked up the clockwork fairy, repaired it a little, then held it in his hand, raised his head and took a serious look at the other person. Then he pulled down the goggles with one hand and raised the metal glove on his right hand slightly.
The copper ball stretched out four wings and flew forward with a buzzing sound.
At this moment, Fang Yu suddenly felt an invisible force locking him, making him unable to move. He raised his head and looked at the other party in shock, but his thoughts were like lightning and his reaction was extremely fast. He understood something at once - margin.
The other party was testing his remaining skills.
He took a breath and gave the order at the last moment.
Let the clockwork fairy move straight forward, start the closed loop, then unlock the package, inject the etheric magic into the timer, stimulate the formation, inject it into the explosive crystal, and a series of other commands, all in one go.
Fang Plover is already familiar with these operations.
But wait.
It wasn't until the last moment that Fang Plover realized what good thing he had done. He couldn't help but watch his clockwork goblin flying towards Odin, and opened his mouth - but no sound came out. Odin was reaching out to pick it up. At this moment, a bright light surged out from under the small copper ball shell.
After the flash of explosion, the entire mountain forest was shaken.
Then the snow on the pine forests far and near fell to the ground.
And after that, someone was really beaten up severely——
By the time Odin organized the camp again, the sky in the east had turned pale, and the morning in the forest was a bit lonely, especially in winter. It was a blue color far and near, soaked in mist, but there was almost no sound.
Fang Plover sat by the campfire with a bruised nose and a swollen face.
But Odin didn't even look at him. He only used a sharpened branch to prop it up on the bonfire, letting the flames repeatedly burn a guinea pig on top. Game meat in winter has a thick layer of fat, and when it is overcooked, the fat will sizzle out.
Only a little salt was sprinkled on it, but it was still fragrant.
Fang Plover hadn't eaten anything since the celebration, and his stomach was already growling with hunger. He couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva when he saw this scene.
Odin then raised his head, looked at him, and couldn't help but shake his head. Who would have thought that after the Battle of Fenris, the hero people had been looking for would be like this, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt relieved.
The other party was originally just a young man.
He was silent for a moment and then asked: "Want to eat?"
Fang Yu nodded quickly.
"Naga Guild?"
"do not add."
"You can eat it if you join the guild."
"Then I won't eat."
Odin stared at this guy, but after thinking about it, he tore off half of it and threw it over.
Fang Yu quickly picked it up, then looked at the other party and asked, "I don't want to join the guild."
"So much nonsense."
Fang Plover seemed to have received an amnesty, and then he began to eat happily.
He only took one bite and felt the juices overflowing under the crispy skin - the roast was no worse than Miss Attila - a sense of satisfaction spread in his mouth, increasing by one point is more, and decreasing by one point. The portions are small and just right.
He finished gnawing the bones in three strokes, barely swallowing his own tongue, and then raised his head and glanced at the other party unexpectedly. He only knew that the other party was the Ten Kings of Warriors, but he didn't expect that he had such a skill in barbecue.
"You are lucky," Odin said calmly: "When I took risks in the early years, I often did it myself, but then I had fewer and fewer opportunities. Last time I begged me, I didn't get what I wanted. Today I just Just a sudden whim——"
He raised his head and saw a squirrel on the treetop. He tilted his head and looked at the two people with dark eyes.
He snapped his fingers, causing the squirrel to hide back in the tree hole with a whoosh.
On the side, Fang Yu was licking his fingers one by one, still thinking that he had Miss Atila, so he didn't care about this thing.
But the way he looks now is extremely embarrassed.
It even looks a little funny.
But Odin didn't care. After wiping his hands, he took out a clockwork fairy and placed it in front of him. "Again?" Fang Pliance looked at it for a moment, subconsciously feeling a little reluctant - just kidding, he had just been beaten, and already had a psychological shadow.
However, Odin didn't say anything else this time. He just looked at the clockwork goblin and then said to him: "Have you ever heard of the Wall of Truth?"
"Wall of reality?"
"Have you ever played beast fighting chess?"
Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment before he realized that the other party was talking about Leo Aux's beast-fighting chess. He should have played it, right? Although it hadn't been long, he thought for a moment and nodded slowly.
However, Odin is not surprised. If he has enough skills, he will naturally play Beast Fighting Chess. This is undoubtedly a matter of course. In fact, he didn't think too much, so he continued: "Then you should have experienced what the craftsmen call the wall of reality."
Fang Yu was confused. What did he feel? This is the first time I have heard of the term 'wall of reality'.
But just as he was about to speak, he saw the warrior king raise his hand, throw a page of light between the two of them, and magnify it.
Fang Yu took a look and discovered that there was a somewhat blurry video on the light page. It seemed to be a group of selected people fighting somewhere. The background behind it was not clear, and the picture seemed to be disturbed, and it was often blurry. distortion.
But occasionally he could see clearly that there were several combat craftsmen inside, but their fighting methods were a bit strange. Although they were clearly carrying magic furnaces with the craftsmen on their backs, they did not wear control gloves.
But their constructs were clearly working.
Fang Yu was slightly startled when he saw this. Or is it that the construct in this video does not belong to these craftsmen? But in that case, what does the warrior king mean by showing this video to himself?
He couldn't help but look at Odin.
But Odin didn't answer. He only waited for the video to end, then put away the light page without saying a word, and did not explain the origin of the video.
Only after a while did he speak: "In Aitaria, there are actually quite a few battle craftsmen who have been exposed to Beast Fighting Chess. Those with a little more qualifications will step into this field under the recommendation of their instructors. You yourself He is a battle craftsman, he should have a deep understanding——"
Fang Yu couldn't help but nodded when he heard this. He was a stowaway and had no formal training. Although he studied at Kapka for a period of time, he did not have a dedicated instructor. He came into contact with the Beast Fighting Chess not long ago, but at that time, he probably realized that Leo Ox's Beast Fighting Chess was actually quite popular among the battle craftsmen.
Those aboriginal alchemists will not talk about it. Even the selectors like Vikki know it, and when she competed with him, she didn't ask him if he understood the rules. This can only mean that this rule should be very common.
And he himself is a special case.
At this time, Odin turned around and looked at him: "But there are many people who have played Beast Fighting Chess, but there are very few people who know the remaining skills. Some people are very talented in Beast Fighting Chess, but when it comes to In reality, there is nothing you can do if you use the margin technique.”
Fang Plover was slightly startled.
The king of warriors continued: "And the vast majority of people who can use margin skills to perform multi-step operations in Beast Chess can only use one margin in reality. Do you know why?"
Fang Yu had already come to his senses. He had been studying with Ander for a while, but what he gained was only basic knowledge. The old man rarely talked to him about anything related to the margin.
"Is this the Wall of Reality?"
Odin nodded.
But Fang Yu was a little surprised.
Because since he learned the three-step margin in the training software Shana gave him, in reality, with the assistance of the closed-loop device, he can actually use the two-step margin. Doesn’t this contradict what the warrior king said?
However, Fang Yu thought for a moment and vaguely felt that it would be better not to make this matter public.
At least discuss it with Miss Tata first, and then find a way to ask Teacher Ander's opinion.
So he fell silent.
It was at this time that he suddenly noticed something and grabbed the necklace at his collar. The light of the communication crystal on the pendant was flashing. He took a look at the person who sent the message and saw that it was Tianlan and the others - he hadn't returned home all night, so everyone must have started to worry.
Fang Yu subconsciously wanted to reply, but suddenly remembered that there was someone around him and couldn't help but glance at the warrior king.
Odin looked at him and motioned for him to put the crystal down.
"It's my companion," he replied tentatively, "I don't want them to worry."
Odin was silent for a moment and then said, "Then you can say something to them to reassure them first."
Let them feel at ease first?
Fang Yu was startled, feeling that there was something wrong with what he said. He suddenly realized what he was saying and looked at the other person: "God Odin, where do you want to take me?"
Odin looked at him and nodded slightly.
Fang Yu had a look of reluctance, and the shadow of the ship officer flashed past in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask: "Well... can I not go?"
"I'm afraid not."
Odin replied.
…
