The girl finished talking about her past with Yue Xiude, and she and Fang Pliong just walked back to the place where Dragon's First Scale was.
Standing in the huge natural cave, Fang Plover looked at the dark crystals, thinking about how to smuggle out these first dragon scales, but it was not easy. These black crystals grew densely here. I don’t know how many there are.
They do not have the manpower to mine and transport several tons of crystals through tunnels under the eyes of the Dragon Worshipers. Moreover, although the Blood Shark Air Pirates have not discovered the tunnel under Idus yet, there is no guarantee that they will ignore this point forever.
He thought for a moment and felt that the more important thing was to contact Etila and the others first to see if they had any good ideas.
At this moment, the magic power of his magic furnace was almost exhausted, and there was still about 10% left. After Fang Yu took a few more glances at the place, he extinguished the lighting crystal, leaving the last bit of magic power in the dangerous area for emergency use. It's a good habit.
The surrounding area suddenly fell into darkness.
At this time, the girl stopped and asked: "...By the way, thank you, Mr. Ed. But after leaving this place, you will return to the ground, right?"
Fang Yu turned around and replied: "That should be the case. Are there any other questions?"
"No," the girl shook her head: "Including Mr. Ed, so many people have helped me before and after, but I have nothing to thank you for, and I can only say thank you."
Fang Yu was a little disappointed. It seemed that he was right. This mission ended here. He also thought that he could trigger something different, but it turned out that he did not. Although he collected some intelligence in the process, the harvest was much less than he expected.
However, he did not reveal this disappointment. After all, it had nothing to do with the other party. She was just a memory that stayed here. What did he know?
"It doesn't matter," Fang Yu followed the other person's words - although he knew that even if he didn't answer like this, it might not be any different: "The seal has nothing to do with you, you are also helping other people, right?"
The girl nodded.
But in the darkness, Fang Plover obviously couldn't see it.
He just thought silently in his heart, what is the obsession of the other party staying in this place?
Is it to maintain that seal? But what exactly is that seal? Why did the other party turn into a non-entity state before approaching the seal, and then recover again after the sealing ceremony ended? It was obviously just an empty seal.
And what were the things that were once imprisoned in the seal and later escaped? Is it the true form of the Dragon Witch? However, as a dark dragon, Nicol Bolas died in the Ash Mountain Forest, and there are no rumors about its corpse being transported back to Idos.
Its dragon horns were left in the hands of Yoshid, and its claws were in Vanric. The most important dragon's golden eyes were stolen by the dwarf Hagston, and finally went to Dolifen. He has already experienced everything about Dolifen, and it seems to have no connection with this place.
He was a little confused for a moment. Did he miss any clue?
Fang Yu took a breath, calmed down a little, and went through the information he had mastered according to the ideas R taught him. The next moment, he realized a problem in his thinking direction - why should he always think about the seal?
The other party's obsession was very clear from the beginning.
Her obsession is about repairing virtue.
The person she is waiting for here is always Yue Xiude, and the person who ties the bell must untie it. Only by letting Yue Xiude return to this place can the real "plot line" of this mission be triggered. But the problem is, Yuexiude has been dead for nearly seventy years, how could he return to this place?
Or something related to Yoshoude?
The first thing that Fang Piao thought of was the most famous sword - the Holy Sword Jalapea. But that sword was in the hands of the inn owner Mazak. Traveler's Rest was more than a thousand miles away from here, and Yuanshui could not save him. Can't get close to fire.
Closer, there is a dragon knight 'Huma' used by Vanrik Yoshid, but how much does that thing have to do with the girl in front of him? It can be seen from her description that the Yu Xiude in her memory is just the 'young boy' who just embarked on the Oath Keepers tour.
This is where the real difficulty lies.
During the tour, Yoshid met several of his most important companions, including the dwarf hero Hagston who later betrayed him, and another hero, the great wizard Karatu, as well as the current Ai Winquin's Elf King - the father of Princess Brianne.
His legend almost began to be written in that era——
And before that, how many people knew this dragon-slaying hero? Most of the deeds of Yue Xiude collected by people in later generations also began during this period. Some of the relics he left behind were the swords and armor he used after he became famous.
But none of these things are helpful in solving the current predicament.
He wanted to enter the other party's memory of the Dragon Witch's era and see what conspiracy the Dragon Worshipers were involved in, unless he could come up with something of great significance to both her and Yue Xiude.
Fang Yu suddenly felt something in his heart and asked, "Eve."
"What, Mr. Ed?"
"Is that ring just now given to you by Mr. Yossiude?"
In the darkness, the girl blushed: "...Forget it, forget it, although I don't like it at all, but for the sake of his sincerity... Mr. Ed, you don't know, he was naturally nothing at that time. A hero is just a poor boy..."
Fang Yu thought to himself, it's strange that you don't like it, you obviously acted so important before.
But this was the Dragon Witch, and she actually seemed to say something that didn't mean what she said, which made him feel a little amused. It's a pity that after the other party transformed into a dragon, he should have completely forgotten all this.
Just like Ms. Misu forgot about Lucius, the dragon's blood has always cursed this family line. As Mazak said, it has become a haze lingering above their heads. I don’t know when the relatives around me have turned into enemies.
Fang Yu was silent for a long time, feeling slightly depressed.
He remained silent, which made the girl panic: "Mr. Ed, what's wrong...?"
"It's nothing," Fang Yu quickly shook his head. Of course he couldn't say it. I just thought about the final outcome between you and Yue Xiude, and I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't speak. He just replied casually: "I was just distracted."
"Mr. Ed is always distracted." The girl laughed softly: "This is different from Yu Xiude, Yu Xiude is very shrewd."
Fang Yu couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry, thinking that I was trying not to irritate you, but it turned out to be a good thing. Instead, he was laughed at as a fool. He was not smart, but he was slow to respond. He thought that he was indeed his sweetheart. Although he didn't admit it, he still couldn't help but praise her.
I just don’t know if the dragon-slaying hero can hear this praise that spans seventy years.
He has roughly figured out the relationship between Yue Xiude and the Dragon Witch. The two can be considered childhood sweethearts. Although they may not have confirmed this relationship, it is obvious that there is still a layer of admiration for each other in their hearts.
Otherwise, Yoshid probably wouldn't have given away the ring, and Nicol Bolas wouldn't have had to wait here for her sweetheart for a century.
But when the girl spoke like that, a scene suddenly flashed through Fang Yu's mind. He was slightly startled. When he realized what he was thinking and wanted to capture his thoughts, those thoughts had already flashed by and disappeared without a trace.
He was stunned.
It felt like I had clearly grasped an important clue, but I couldn't recall what I had thought at that moment. He subconsciously asked Miss Tata if she had seen anything. After all, the two were spiritually connected.
Miss Tata was much more meticulous than him. She thought for a moment and replied, "It's probably something related to Dolifen, Mr. Knight."
After hearing this, Fang Yu silently thought about that direction for a while, but still found nothing. The Seven Seas Brigade and the others gained too much in Dolifen. That was the beginning of their contact with the conspiracy of the Dragon Worshipers. The source of everything seemed to start from that moment. The clues were so messy and complicated that it was impossible to think of a single one. So come.
At this time, the girl asked in a low voice: "...Mr. Ed, do you have any questions about that ring?"
Fang Yu finally came back to his senses and thought: "By the way, the ring -" He suddenly remembered his original purpose, then nodded and said to the girl: "Can you show me that ring, Eve? "
"Of course," the girl said happily, "After all, Mr. Ed snatched the ring back, otherwise I would have lost it."
Fang Yu thought to himself, it might not be a big deal if it was lost.
He knew very well that everything he saw before him was just a strong will and memory lingering here.
As long as the obsession does not disappear, any form of break will only make this task start over. Even if the girl died in that place, I'm afraid he would see her in that place again when he returned to the previous hall.
The only way to break this will is to start with the obsession itself, or to completely eliminate the power of the Dragon Witch lingering here. It is naturally much easier to save a resentful soul than to solve the illusion of a city in Dolifen. However, in this case, everything about a hundred years ago can only be buried in history.
The resentful ghosts of Dolifen once originated from the conspiracy of the Dragon Worship Cult, but in the final analysis, everything started here a hundred years ago - Idos.
Now that he came to this place, he once again had to face the obsession of the Dragon Witch herself.
Fang Yu suddenly felt that there was some coincidence.
It was as if there was some kind of power in the dark that made him worship the Dragon Cult before Vanrick, go to the official's mansion, and find the diary from a pile of ruins. One step ahead of the blood shark, he found Nicol Bolas' first dragon scale in this ancient city.
Including the girl in front of me, everything seems to be a certain number.
That may be the vision of Dolifen's ghosts and all the innocent people who lost their lives at the hands of the Dragon Worship Cult. This also includes Miss Attila's biological brother. They do not want to be buried quietly in Under the dust of history.
Cover up all conspiracies without a trace. And like a long story, now it has returned to its source.
The only question now is, how did this story originate?
He took the ring. It felt heavier than it did then, as if something had accumulated on it, but its shape did not change. Fang Yu fumbled for the appearance of the ring in the darkness, and was about to light up the lighting crystal again.
At this time, the two of them had walked back from the underground river, walked back to the artificial corridor, and returned to the original square hall.
It was at this time that Fang Plover heard a subtle sound in his ear:
An extremely low string sound.
Without any consideration, almost instinctively, he immediately protected the girl behind him and pulled her back a step. On the one hand, it was due to habit. Even though the girl was just a soul, it was completely impossible for him to ignore her.
But more importantly, at this juncture, he must not let the mission be reset, because at that moment, he had already felt something inexplicable from the ring.
As soon as he stepped back, a crossbow bolt flew out of the darkness. Since the Dark Sacrifice had already taken effect once during the previous battle with the Dragon's Minions, there was nothing that could help him this time. Due to the dim light of the magic furnace, the attacker in the darkness judged his position extremely accurately, making this attack almost inevitable.
Just taking a step back allowed him to slightly avoid the most deadly part.
The crossbow arrow missed his throat and hit his right shoulder. His right shoulder was numb, and then Fang Yu felt that it seemed to be coated with poison. But he didn't have time to look at the records on the system to see what kind of poison he had been poisoned with. He just gritted his teeth and threw a 'Screaming Banshee' backhand without saying a word.
Pull down your goggles at the same time.
The 'Screaming Banshee' roared into the air, dropping floating flash bombs.
With a soft sound, it was like a small sun rising in the hall. Although it was only a flash of light, Fang Plover could still clearly see three or four shadows through the light-blocking goggles - it was different from what he imagined. The other party was not Blood Shark Sky Pirate.
The moment the flash of light appeared, he saw two people rolling backwards. The other person seemed to have been hit, covering his eyes and screaming.
These three people were all wearing dark blue shirts that he had never seen before - but that type of shirt style could only be the product of the guild and the knights, and they were active outside wearing such conspicuous shirts.
Either the knights from various places or the Chosen Guild, and among them, the proportion of the latter is obviously larger.
There was a fourth person who seemed to be around the corner, but he couldn't be sure.
These scenes only flashed for a moment, and they were briefly reflected in Fang Plover's retina. And in his mind, he hadn't yet matched the opponent's shirt style with which guild in his memory - in fact, he didn't have time to think about it. He just used his uninjured left hand to push the girl and stuff it back into the back. In the corridor.
Then he also retreated, back into the corridor and pressed against the wall.
His detection skills were very low and he couldn't hear if anyone was approaching in this direction in the darkness. He also didn't know if the two of the three people who rolled backwards were also hit. The blinding effect of Screaming Banshee's flash bomb lasts for a little more than five seconds, but if you don't get hit, the opponent can launch a counterattack almost immediately.
There is no overly complicated terrain on this side of the corridor. After passing it to the end, his magical furnace's magic power is not much. He used the screaming banshee before, and he still has 89% left. He relies on this place. The terrain is almost impossible for three people to join forces.
Not to mention there might be a fourth person lurking in the darkness.
Fang Yu felt a stab of pain in his injured right shoulder. After calming down, as soon as the effect of adrenaline wore off, he immediately felt dizzy. But he didn't have time to think too much. He took the girl and ran away. If he stayed here, he would be dead. If he could return to the underground river and use the complex terrain there, there might be a glimmer of hope.
The girl's hearing was much sharper than his, and she obviously understood what happened, but she never said a word. It wasn't until the two of them escaped that she whispered: "They haven't caught up yet, Mr. Ed, are you injured...?"
It was not difficult to tell that her voice was slightly trembling.
Fang Yu nodded with difficulty. He could hardly lift his right hand, and it was difficult to move it. This was obviously not only the cause of the injury, but more importantly, the poison.
Only then did he have time to open the system and take a look, and then secretly screamed something bad: What was displayed on the system was an unknown toxin, which showed that his knowledge of pharmacy, plants, and minerals was not enough to distinguish the type of toxin.
Fang Plover gritted his teeth and took the initiative to activate his skill system. Only then did he get another clue: unknown plant toxin.
He breathed a sigh of relief. Most of the animal and mineral toxins in Aitaria are related to magic toxins. Plant toxins are slightly better. People who want to use plant toxins will not use expensive magic toxins. The former can be treated with a neutralizer, while the latter must be treated with potions or magic.
He had always prepared a toxin neutralizer. Although he didn't know whether it was correct or not, he still opened the lid and poured it into the wound, and then took another antidote orally. After doing all this, Fang Yu felt a little better, and his arms regained a little bit of feeling.
Then he nodded and said to the girl: "I have been poisoned. The people outside are not malicious. You go back to the place before. I will try to see if I can lure them away."
"Mr. Ed, are you poisoned?" The girl was startled: "But how can you deal with them like this?"
Fang Yu was silent for a moment, but he couldn't say "I have my own way". At this time, he really didn't have much confidence. Firstly, he didn't know the origins of those people outside. Secondly, and most importantly, he looked at his magic furnace - the light of the magic crystal was already quite dim.
If he still had magic power, he might still have the confidence to fight those people outside, but when a clever woman can't make a meal without rice and nothing can be used, what can he use to fight?

Fei Yan said
There were two small problems yesterday. One was that Sir Ma Wei was written as Mazak, and the other was that for some reason, Chapter 208 was written as 108...
