Walking downstairs to the apartment, before going upstairs, Fang Yu first checked the carriage and the body in front of him.
When he walked to the carriage, he saw that the carriage had been corroded by the bone dragon's acidic spit. The roof was empty, and the seats and the inner walls of the carriage were scorched black. Opening the shattered car door, there was a suitcase in the compartment. It seemed that the original owner was planning a long trip.
However, Fang Yu knew that the original owner might not be the person he was looking for, and the carriage might not necessarily belong to that official. He only quickly rummaged through the contents of the box, but did not find any valuable clues.
Fang Plover exited the carriage again, walked to the front and looked at the corpses of two horses and one person - the two horses had been corroded to the point where only their skeletons were left. They knelt forward, with their charred intestines hanging on the gray ribs. It was still warm and emitting curls of white smoke - he frowned and walked around the stinking place, and observed the scene from the front again.
From this direction, the bone dragon's breath range almost completely covered the carriage. He raised his head and calculated the opponent's flight route at that time, which was just a simple effort for the combat craftsman.
The streets were empty. Apart from the damaged buildings, the only thing that was attacked was the carriage. Fang Yu pondered for a moment, opened the community and entered the words 'Vanrick, Jackdaw Street'. Hundreds of entries were immediately refreshed on the community - compared to the history of the community, this number of entries is not. More, but very little.
This is probably related to the fact that this street is unknown.
However, after excluding those unrelated erroneous searches from the entries, Fang Pliance was able to filter out information that was useful to him from the remaining hundred or ten records: those were some travel notes and city guides, and there were already names of selectors on them. The written records left behind also include photos and videos of tourists.
From these written records, photos and videos, we can know that Jackdaw Street is a street mainly focused on commerce and handicraft industry. There are many handicraft workshops on both sides of the street, and it is quite busy on weekdays.
In such a place, after the bone dragon swooped down, would only this carriage be attacked?
Or is it that its original target was only this carriage?
Then the answer is ready to come out. Of course, Fang Yu is still not sure, because in his opinion, the Dragon Worship Cult does not seem to be able to perform such a delicate operation. Will they still care about hurting passers-by? Dolifen thirty years ago speaks volumes.
He only wrote down this doubt, and then continued to walk forward until he reached the rickety, charred corpse.
Fang Yu checked it and immediately concluded that the other party was not his target - although he had no experience in autopsies, he could also see that the corpse was not that of an adult male. Judging from the height and body shape, it looked more like that of an adult. An old man.
The difference between the two is still very obvious.
He observed carefully for a moment and noticed that there seemed to be a metallic luster on the corpse's hand. With a thought, he took it off and found that it was a seal ring. Fang Plover himself has no achievements in heraldry. Fortunately, he has a companion who is an encyclopedia lady and shows it to the elf lady for identification - Tata has now absorbed a lot of knowledge about the current Aitalian nobles - Sure enough, I got the expected answer.
This is the official's seal. It seems that this old man should be the official's servant or steward, and his status should not be low, at least much higher than the dwarf servant in Grande, because ordinary people can't keep the master. seal ring.
It seems that this person is more similar to the other party's confidant or close relative. Unfortunately, the corrosion destroyed most of the clues, and Fang Plover was unable to find more useful records from his clothes or the remaining paper information.
After checking the area around the carriage to make sure nothing was missing, Fang Plover turned and walked towards the apartment. He only stayed by the carriage for a few minutes. According to his estimation, it would take at least a quarter of an hour for the official Van Rijk people to arrive at this place. The time left for him was actually quite ample.
But what he was a little curious about was why Sophie and Qian hadn't arrived nearby yet? Looking back, he didn't see the two of them - Siesta and Baggins were also hiding. It looked like he was the only one on this ruined street.
Fang Yu turned this idea around and walked outside the door of the apartment - a big hole was opened on the second and third floors of the apartment, and nearly two-thirds of the building structure was missing, but the first floor was relatively well preserved. He pushed the door open as a habit, but the door fell down and hit the ruins behind with a bang, sending a cloud of smoke and dust flying.
Fang Yu thought he was unlucky and couldn't help but cough twice. He fanned away the dust with his hands and entered the building. He remembered that Sophie told him that the official's residence was on the third floor of the apartment, and when he looked up, he saw that most of the stairs connecting that place were preserved, but they looked a little shaky.
He thought to himself that this place wouldn't collapse like this, right?
As expected, he had only taken a few steps up the stairs when the stairs collapsed with a crash. Fortunately, Fang Plover was always vigilant. He raised his hand and flew a claw towards the wall on one side - but he didn't expect that just as his claws grabbed the wall there, the seemingly solid wall actually fell backwards.
Amidst a rumbling sound, Fang Plov finally climbed up to the third floor from the other side of the outer wall in disgrace. He couldn't help but patted the dust on his body. He could only think that it was okay except for Miss Tata. , and no other outsiders saw this scene.
After climbing up to the third floor, Fang Yu found that he was in a huge cave - and this seemed to have been a bedroom or study room. He could even see a big gray bed on one side and the same gravel. The rubble bookshelf—but now most of it has disappeared, disappearing into the huge void behind him.
Fang Plover stood up and looked back. The original windows and walls here had long since disappeared, and the empty space outside was in the direction of the street. Since he had seen all kinds of fighting situations in the community, he could figure out everything that happened at that time almost immediately.
The bone dragon fell from the sky and smashed the wall. In its first attack, the other half of the room completely collapsed. Then it flew across the street with a menacing force. The collapsed buildings on the street outside and the long claw marks left on the walls should have been left during this round of attacks.
Fang Plover walked to the edge of the broken ceiling and looked out, as if he saw the bone dragon turning back at the end of the street on the other side and flying back again. This time it started spitting, and the spit swept across the street - but since most pedestrians had fled from the street during the first round of attacks, or hid under the buildings on both sides, the sweeping spit this time was actually Only the carriage was hit.
And the old man who had just escaped from the carriage.
This should generally be the case.
After sorting out these details, Fang Plover walked back from outside and began to inspect the house. He took a cursory glance inside and outside the house and found that the bone dragon's breath had not affected this building, because apart from the traces of physical damage, it could be said that the room did not have any traces of burning or corrosion——
This means that the Bone Dragon did not perform last-ditch attacks on this apartment after the first round of attacks. Is it because it achieved its goal in the first round of attacks, so there is no need for a second round of attacks? Fang Plover frowned and looked around again.
This possibility cannot be ruled out. If the opponent happened to be in the study at the moment when the bone dragon launched its attack, it would probably be in danger. With such suspicion, Fang Yu checked other rooms in the back, and sure enough he did not find the official's whereabouts.
At the same time, there were no signs of attacks in other rooms.
But if it is said that the other party happened to be in this study, let alone the severed limbs and remains, there was not even a trace of blood, and it did not look like someone had died. Or was it that the other party happened to be buried under the wreckage together with the collapsed building during the attack?
Fang Yu stood on the third floor and looked down. The thick building debris was piled at least one meter deep. But he had neither the ability nor the time to check whether the official's body was buried underneath. After thinking about it, he could only settle for the next best thing and see if there were any other clues in the room.
He looked at his pocket watch again and saw that almost half of the estimated time had passed, and the remaining time was not too much.
Fang Yu knew that he had to speed up, looked up and looked around, and immediately saw a huge bookshelf on one side - the bookshelf was covered with a thick layer of dust, but the books on it caught his attention. It was a row of classics with dark title pages and spines. He walked over and touched the dust on the spines with his hands, and a line of bloody text was immediately revealed underneath.
It seemed that just as his hand touched the words, a low whisper came from the book.
Fang Yu was startled and quickly took a step back before realizing that these books might have different origins. They were either evil objects or classics of the Dragon Worship Cult. Seeing this, he had basically determined the relationship between the official and the Dragon Worship Cult. The other party put these things on the bookshelf openly, probably because he was sure that the place was safe enough.
But he didn't expect that he would die at the hands of his own people in the end.
Is it to kill people and silence them? This reasoning is not unreasonable. After all, so far, Fang Yu has only seen the other party possess such a method that can eliminate the starlight.
But once you fall into this mindset, you tend to overlook some more detailed things. In fact, there is not only one Dragon Worship Cult in this world. It can be said that all worship of dragons can be called the predecessor of Dragon Worship Faith.
This doctrine is particularly popular among lizards and today's snake-men, followed by kobolds and goblins, but there are also many kinds of dragons, and the goblins of Nervad also worship their patron, the master of Holy Bow Peak, Yunlong Ann Loser.
Before the identity of the green dragon Tolagothos was revealed, most of the human residents on Fenris Island were also admirers of Tolagothos.
Are they all cultists?
Apparently not.
In fact, the cult "Dragon Worship" recognized by Stargate Port officials and the Corin-Ithurian royal family only refers to the worshipers of the dark dragon, and not others. And only among these admirers can Fang Plover find a similar point in common:
That is irrational fanaticism——
Of course, Fang Plover has heard various rumors related to this before - for example, the dark dragon will give its followers the ability to "eternal life" and promise various benefits, such as having Strength, or gaining power.
But not to mention that the so-called 'eternal life' is still very debatable in his opinion. Even strength and power have long become history in the past. Now Nicol Bolas can only say that he is lingering, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback. .
Even a hundred years ago, she actually only caused a storm in Corrin-Ithurion, and her impact on the entire Aitaria was almost negligible. The era of dark dragons has long passed, and it is no longer that period of history where their wings could cover the sky and the sun.
But this does not seem to prevent the followers of the Dark Dragon from continuing to feverishly believe that that period of history will repeat itself again, and the light of the third woe star will eventually shine on the earth.
They didn't seem to have thought about this. What benefits would the arrival of the third evil star bring to them?
When Atholin sank under the abyss, not only the residents above died with it, but also a large number of followers of the dark dragon at that time. The moment disaster strikes, the light of the misfortune star will turn it into powder regardless of whether you are its supporter or not.
Therefore, Fang Yu really couldn't understand these people's idea of "seeking benevolence and receiving benevolence". He could only imagine that the ability to brainwash the dark dragon was really powerful. And as far as he knew, there were many 'Eternals' among those who were working for Nicol Bolas' resurrection.
And these people have already obtained the power of eternal life, why do they want to have an additional master above themselves for no reason? Fang Plover didn't know this either.
But the blindness and fanaticism of the Dragon Worshipers can at least be seen from this.
They seem to be pursuing a certain goal irrationally, so in Fang Pultru's view, it is entirely possible for them to give up something called reason and logic.
Thinking of this, he looked at the bookshelf in front of him again - judging from the cult books collected on the bookshelf, if this official from the Adventurers Association was not a senior 'fanatic believer', he was probably not too far away.
After Fang Yu withdrew from his original thinking pattern, he immediately noticed this little doubt - would a fanatical believer choose to sacrifice for his beliefs? He didn't know much about other religions, but based on his understanding of the Dragon Worshipers, that was almost certain.
So for a fanatical believer to use the method of murder and silence, such a big move is needed?
There seems to be something wrong here.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a step back, but he stepped on something. Fang Yu was stunned, and when he looked down, he realized that it was a notebook buried under the dust. He originally didn't notice it at all when he walked over, but now it seems that it looks like a diary.
Fang Yu was slightly startled, and couldn't help but feel happy. He thought, this is not the diary recorded by the other party, right? He knew that many aborigines in Aitaria, especially nobles with status, often had the habit of writing diaries and memos, and would even record some private secrets in them.
But with such a mood, he picked it up and took a look, but he couldn't help but be disappointed. The notebook did indeed seem to be the notes recorded by the other party, but it had nothing to do with any kind of diary. It was more like an archaeological record. Fang Pulou brushed off the dust on the diary and read through the words. The description discerns that what should be recorded above is some information about Idos.
Idos is the city that was reduced to ashes in the flames of the Dragon Witch.
It is located on the edge of the brown desert. It was once a very prosperous trading city. It was also the former capital of the Istania region-the former hometown of Mazak, and it was under the jurisdiction of the Idos Archon.
Of course everything lasted until the disaster happened.
Afterwards, the flames burned away everything, and this tragic city never recovered after the disaster. Now there is only a piece of rubble in the wind and sand telling the past. After the last batch of refugees left, the former Istania region of the kingdom has now become synonymous with a desert wilderness.
It is an archaeological holy place.
Many scholars who are willing to learn about the history of a hundred years ago will often visit that place.
Fang Yu looked at the notes in his hand and wondered whether this official was secretly a history buff? But there is another level of possibility. After all, both Idos and Dorifin are related to Nicol Bolas's past.
Could the other party's recording of this be related to some truth buried under that period of history?
With such a mood, he continued to scroll down, but the records at the back were even more messy. It not only recorded some information about Idos, but also recorded some families and some people, but the names of these families and people were a bit unfamiliar to Fang Pliance.
He originally thought that under Miss Sylvide's training, he had some understanding of the noble family of Corin-Ithurion, but when he saw the list, he was still at a loss.
It was only the last familiar name that jumped into his eyes that cheered him up:
The Rogersle family.
There are not many records about this family in the notebook. There are only three names below:
Dantès-Rogersil.
Maryland-Logos.
Chrissy Ellingland
Fang Yu was slightly startled when he saw these three names. He was very familiar with the first two names. Dantès was the consul of Dolifen thirty years ago, the grandfather of Roquelen-Rogosl, and the blood inheritance rights of the Rogosl family in him were given by this man's soul.
And he actually knew the other Maryland-Rogelsl, who was Roquelen's father and the son of Dantès.
But as for the last name, which was obviously a woman's, he felt a little strange - why was there such a woman's name in the records of the Rogelsl family? Is it Maryland's wife? But that doesn't seem to be the case in memory.
He pointed to the name and said to Tata beside him: "Miss Tata, we seem to have heard this name somewhere?"
Tata nodded: "I am also somewhat familiar with it, but if I have seen it in that book, I will definitely remember it."
Both of them were a little confused.
But Fang Yu saw again that there were heavy red circles drawn on the names of Maryland and Chris. And when he looked at the entire list, there were only three people whose names were circled in red. In addition to these two people, there was also a person named Andra.
That man was from a family called Jadejaka. Fang Pliance had never heard of his name and had no memory of him at all.
What do these three red circles mean?
Fang Yu couldn't help but be confused for a moment.
