Fang Plover stood next to the big cat body, looking at the towering corpse lying on the battlefield behind the silver-maned spider from a distance. The dusk clouds hung low in the sky, and the setting sun stained the canyon with a thin layer of blood. The evening breeze with a hint of coolness blew from the west, as if it had blown away the bloody smell in the basin. The two of them were bathed in the breeze, and the big cat man lit a match, making a bright and dim light shine in the dusk.
Fang Plover took a deep breath. The air pouring into his lungs did not feel cool or refreshing. Instead, he could really smell a wisp of dust in the wind.
The wind traveled thousands of miles across the vast sea to come here, where the cold moonlight stared at the vast world of silver sand and the ruins in the gravel. It was the ancient hometown of dragons that had not changed for thousands of years. He gently tossed his hand, and the clockwork fairy drew a vertical line up and down. The golden shell reflected the faint glow, and then fell steadily back into the glove.
"They still didn't agree to your request in the end?" Rhett put out the match. The small pipe is held in huge, furry paws, creating a sharp contrast in size. It then picked up the pipe and bit it with its pointed teeth. A dull red light flashed in the pipe. A sheet of white smoke rose up along the big cat's features, outlining the deep contours of its cheeks.
"No, it's better to say that I refused." Fang Pliong shook his head.
After he asked such a question, the man from the Dragon Fire Guild fell into a long silence. It was so long that he almost thought that the other party was deliberately delaying, but the man finally spoke. The man smiled and then said, "If you want to join us, I can introduce you to them."
Fang Yu still remembered the other party's tone. It was a tone that seemed a bit teasing, but also had a hint of contempt. It was hard to describe, but it was true. He felt that the other party was watching a joke, or that he didn't take them seriously at all. The arrogance hidden in his casual tone was impressive.
He immediately asked: "Them?"
"That's what you call the Dragon Worshipers."
"That's not what I said. The official said you were colluding with cultists. I at least read the announcement."
"They're not entirely wrong."
"Isn't that completely wrong? So the Dragon Worshipers are not considered cultists."
"Okay, I don't really care what you think about this issue. We also understand what ordinary people think. But don't you want benefits? If you join us, you will get the same benefits. They will at least treat everyone equally."
When he said this, Fang Yu clearly felt that the man's tone could not help but reveal that tone again, with a hint of sneer in the contempt. But he didn't feel annoyed at all, he just thought there was something wrong with these people's brains.
If nothing goes wrong, I won't join a cult.
"What's the benefit?" he asked.
"I can't tell you that before you join us, you have to pass a test first."
Fang Yu pretended not to understand and said in disbelief: "But I defeated you, and you still want to test me?"
The other party's tone paused: "These are two different things."
Fang Plover knew that the conversation could no longer go on at this point. If he continued to go deeper, he would have to expose his purpose or fall into a choice between two, but that was not his original intention. He wanted to make his involvement not too deep, at least not to enter the Dragon Worship Cult's field of vision so early.
Because of the Battle of Vanric, the Dragon Worship Cult may have been observing him, but at least he hasn't exposed Etila yet. He vaguely feels that this logic is more critical, because it means that he is actively looking for trouble with the Dragon Worship Cult. . Of course, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs, but he has enough troubles already. He had to take a step back, clear his mind, and then wait for the opportunity to act.
So he made a joke to the other party:
"My aunt taught me something. Do you know what it is?"
The man was slightly startled: "What?"
Fang Yu played a trick and did not say aunt, but aunt, in order to avoid exposing his real identity as much as possible. He smiled and replied: "She told me to be careful of those training institutions - especially those that ask me to pay money first."
The man gasped.
Sometimes people don't mind others thinking they are heinous villains, but if you think of them as petty thieves and liars, it's almost humiliating. Especially the Chinese people, subconsciously look down upon the roosters and dog robbers.
So the negotiations broke down unpleasantly.
Scholars can be killed but not humiliated - the other party does not accept the humiliation, so Fang Pliant has no choice but to kill them all. The matter was actually very simple. The Seven Seas Brigade did not play an important role in this process. The only important thing they did was probably to destroy the Dragon Fire Guild's Gray Scale Brigade.
The rest is just smooth sailing. After the opponent was stripped of its most important combat power, it was already walking on thin ice on the battlefield. After all, how could either one of the Panir Cunning Spider and the Hill Giant be easy to mess with? What Fang Plover did was just harass them from the outside.
Basically, it was like adding some force to the Dragon Fire Guild's journey to the fire pit, so the latter fell down naturally and was burned to ashes by the fire. In the end, don't say that the fish is dead and the net is broken. They may not even see where the net is.
The really fierce battle was between the hill giant and the cunning spider. The two overlords in the canyon fought fiercely for three full hours before the battle finally settled.
Its final result was the corpse standing like a hill in front of the two of them——
Fang Yu just watched this scene quietly.
The arrogant queen was now lying in the middle of the small basin in the valley, with the river flowing around it, her eight legs spread out helplessly, and she had long lost her arrogance. There was a trace of emotion in his heart. The transition between strength and fragility came so suddenly. The invincible hunter became the prey in an instant, and people became even more insignificant in such a battle.
It's just that being small only makes people humble, but it doesn't mean that they belittle themselves.
The big cat man stretched out his paw and patted his shoulder gently, probably guessing what the young man was thinking.
The seven giant clans won the final victory. The giants who suffered a tragic victory were not depressed. Instead, they celebrated before leaving the battlefield. It's just that the giants are not interested in these smelly spiders - although they themselves are smelly - the giants didn't take anything with them when they left, except for their tattered pockets and their full sense of honor.
So I got a deal from Nanami Travel Group——
In addition to the female spider's glands, the most important income comes from the Dragon Fire Guild's 'generous donation'.
After all, adventurers who don't have Ms. Roman's protection are not worthy of being human - the comments in the community can be roughly summed up in this sentence.
Although most of the bluster in the community are irrational, they will often say 'I will always like Ms. So-and-so', which can effectively be replaced by any goddess - and occasionally even a male god. In the final analysis, it is actually 'I like no matter who it is.' Such behavior among the aboriginal people would probably be struck to death by lightning, but the gods are quite tolerant towards the chosen ones.
Except for goddesses like Aimea who are pure and self-sufficient, most gods do not reject the complicated beliefs of those they choose. For Ms. Roman, this is just a business.
But losing Ms. Roman's protection is generally quite miserable.
Just like the Dragon Fire Guild at this moment.
The Seven Seas Brigade collected countless things from the battlefield, ranging from armor to consumables such as scroll potions. It was enough to fill a third of the warehouse. The warehouse could no longer hold it, so it had to be stuffed into the bottom cabin to replace the pressure. cabin contents.
However, the more things come, the more useful things are. There are only a few useful ones, and most of them come from the 'Greyscale' brigade. Fang Plover picked up a C-shaped shield generator, a craftsman-specific plug-in and a pair of goggles.
Among them, the only one worth mentioning is the pair of goggles. It looks like two dark copper rings set in a leather case and embedded with crystals. There are two metal pillars near the ears, with analytical crystals inside. The general structure Fang Yu couldn't understand it either. After all, it was not a product that could be made at his level.
When he pulled down his goggles, Fang Plover looked like a fighter pilot who had traveled through time on the battlefield of World War I. In addition to the functions of ordinary craftsman eyepieces, the most important function of the goggles is to simply analyze some attribute data of the target. Although there is only one rating and valuation, it is already very practical for front-line investigators like Fang Plover. .
In addition, basic abilities such as resisting blindness due to strong light and providing a certain degree of low-light vision are also provided. Such goggles cost at least 50,000 Lissels per pair on the market. Fang Plover will never use them on weekdays. Started. After all, although the Seven Seas Brigade now has a little money, it spends more money - daily maintenance of the platform, daily maintenance of equipment, supplies, and the maintenance and replenishment of his constructs, which accounts for the majority. Even though the efreet cost only a few thousand yuan, after a battle, it was still a huge expense.
If they hadn't earned a lot of money from several battles, the Seven Seas Brigade might have gone bankrupt long ago. In addition, the preparation work for the aerospace ship is even more complicated, and the financial pressure is like an invisible mountain weighing on everyone's heart.
This battle has relieved their pressure to a certain extent. Not to mention the bargain that Fang Pilgrim picked up for free, other common items, large and small, that were accumulated in the bottom cabin were resold to Hongye and the others, even after a 20% discount. A lot of money.
The C-type shield generator can provide a stable shield of up to 870 points. The so-called stable shield refers to a shield that will only take effect when the chosen person is not running, rolling or similar. Once the chosen person enters these states, In this state, the fragile shield generator will enter a self-protection state, temporarily deactivating the shield and restarting it after a certain period of time.
There are only two key attributes of the shield generator, one is the shield value, and the other is the reactivation time. The average shield generator has at least 10 seconds to restart, but this one only has 8.7 seconds, which is considered a good little gem.
Generally speaking, Fang Plover rarely uses the shield generator. After all, he has to fly around, so the shield generator will probably have no effect. However, the built-in plug-in of this C-type shield generator has a very interesting function, which allows it to provide an unstable shield with half its value at the expense of maintaining a large amount of magic power output in an overloaded state.
Fang Yu tested it and found that this plug-in was useless for most people because he had to input half of the magic power at a time to maintain the shield for about two seconds. However, with the Broken Star Soul, he could barely use this function as he relied on computing power to increase his magic output.
It can be regarded as letting him bid farewell to the state of 'streaking'.
The last craftsman plug-in is a relatively rare dual-attribute plug-in that adds strength and computing power. The strength is +14 and the computing power is +22. It just replaces the training plug-in given to him by the big guys in the Hall of Thousand Doors. Come down.
Others also changed their equipment to varying degrees.
The Papalars obtained an invisibility cloak specially designed for the Papalars.
Miss Attila changed to a magic spear.
Alyssa has a new pair of gloves, which can create a shadow clone with 10% combat power. It can be said to be one of the most powerful magic tools of the shadow-type Nightingale. Siesta got an earring, and when Fang Plover gave it to her, she was stared at for a while.
But the maid finally put it on.
After all, those earrings are only for fighters. Earrings that increase the energy pool have no meaning if others hold them.
The big cat man changed his shield. He was full of praise for the large shield decorated with a platinum lion head. Naturally, the flying shield originally made for him by Fang Plover was thrown to Luo Hao for use. It just so happened that the latter leveled up a level after the battle and could use that shield.
This kind of scene made Fang Yu a little unexpected. Luo Hao said that people can't be rich without windfall. It was just a joke at first, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a prophecy.
Fang Yu couldn't help but think that if he could get such a generous reward every time he fought against the Dragon Fire Guild, he would simply follow the Dragon Fire Guild in the future. He would go wherever the Dragon Fire Guild goes. After doing this for a few times, it is estimated that the funds for the Seven Seas Traveler will come down.
Of course, the main reason is to investigate the Dragon Worship Cult's secret plan. Fang Yu added in his heart with some guilt.
Miss Tata kindly reminded him: "Mr. Knight, in fact, no one can hear it."
"Papa, hug--"
Then came Nini’s sticky voice.
Fang Yu felt a little embarrassed and touched the little girl's forehead with his fingers, then pulled her away from his cheek to prevent Nini from drooling all over his face.
In fact, it's not that he can't make these things, it's just that he can't make them at such a high level. After all, there are no drawings, and it's impossible to invest experience in every aspect. For example, the shield generator and the shadow magic weapon gloves used by Alisa are both relatively unsophisticated types of magic weapons and require specialized skills and knowledge.
After all, everyone has to choose a career path as a craftsman, and Fang Yuheng is actually facing this problem. He has been preparing to invest his experience in three aspects: crystal manufacturing, dragon knights and shipwrights, and even including Some goblin-wielding routes, plus combat craftsmanship.
The five fields are enough for the ordinary selector, although the outstanding computing power and the existence of Tata and Nini prevent him from investing a lot of experience and skills in combat craftsmanship. But in the end, he still had to make a choice on which of the five areas to focus on.
But he was still a little hesitant for a while. After all, among the five areas, except for the fairy messenger, there were at least four areas that he had to choose.
Crystal manufacturing and the dragon knight are related to his inheritance of Hain-Fam's legacy, and are also closely related to his own attributeless improvement, while the shipwright is his promise to Sylvide, and as for the combat craftsman himself, it is his Personal hobbies.
It is really difficult for him to choose one or two from these four areas.
Fang Plover could only take one step at a time.
It was getting a little late, and at this time he watched from a distance as other people were climbing down from the huge corpse behind the silver-maned spider. Tianlan and Parker seemed to have found something, and they cheered. Even from such a long distance, he could hear everyone's surprised voices coming from afar.
"As for the Dragon Fire Guild's answer, what do you think it is?" The dark red light spots flickered in the big cat man's pipe. He suddenly spoke.
"which one?"
"About the benefits that the Dragon Worship Cult promised them."
Fang Yu pondered for a moment: "When I was in Dolifen, I remember that the Dragon Worship Cult mentioned a word, the eternal one."
"You mean, the dark dragon promised them eternal life?" The big cat man put out his pipe at this time, shook the ashes inside, turned around and looked at him with his silver eyes: "But eternal life is just a monster. You should understand this."
"Yes," Fang Plover also nodded: "This is exactly what confuses me."
The two were silent for a while.
Suddenly the big cat man spoke again: "Your cousin is here."
Fang Plover then turned around and saw Tang Xin walking from the edge of the forest bar.
He asked the other party: "How is Luo Yu?"
"Are you all like this?" Tang Xin glared at him angrily: "First you, then him. Does everyone have to lie in bed for a week or two before it is considered a risk?"
Fang Yu heard the dissatisfaction in his cousin's tone, but this dissatisfaction came more from concern. He averted his eyes with some guilt: "Fighting will inevitably lead to injuries."
Tang Xin snorted softly, and finally replied reluctantly:
"Luo Yu is fine, he doesn't need to recover for several weeks like you."
She stopped and stood side by side with Fang Plover, looking at the golden valley in the distance - the last ray of sunlight was sinking into the mountain passes. She twirled her sweat-stained hair with her hands, which made her look a little uncomfortable. Quiet.
Fang Yu couldn't help but look back and saw that his cousin's plain white robe was stained with some blood, but it did not diminish her temperament at all, but added a different kind of beauty.
"Brother," Tang Xin suddenly asked, "Do you really like this world so much?"
Fang Yu was startled.
He nodded immediately: "Yeah."
