"The sky pirates are coming!"
A shout interrupted the group of people's thoughts.
Not long after, everyone saw Luo Hao running over from that direction in a hurry.
Sylvide turned off the communication crystal and looked over there. Fang Plover had just warned them that someone might have discovered their traces.
Unexpectedly, the other party came to the door so quickly.
She didn't think too much, she just gave Siesta and Baggins a wink, and then both of them loaded their magic muskets.
At this time, another roar came from the ground.
There was a shaking in the tunnel.
"It seems that time is very tight. Let's leave this place first." The lion paladin looked towards the other end of the tunnel, his silver eyes flashing faintly.
He walked forward, inserted the scepter into the latch of the magic furnace with his backhand and hung it there, then raised the lion's head shield and pressed it against the collapsing pillar, then turned around and said something to everyone.
As if to prove his words, several Blood Shark Air Pirates swarmed in from the other end of the corridor. Baggins and Sylvide opened fire at the same time, and after two firelights flashed in the darkness, a deafening roar swept through people's hearts——
In the distance, two air pirates fell immediately, and the remaining people scrambled past the dead people and continued to rush towards them.
Luo Yu looked in that direction, immediately raised his magic wand and stretched out his left hand.
A silver light formed on his glove - it drew an arc, and then formed a six-pointed star, the square pillars of Alka Square, and the earth element boundary - all gathered into a double circle in front of him.
The six-pointed star array rotates relatively slowly, and the silver light flickers slightly.
The box took a step forward and stood side by side with him, holding the wand in his left hand and raising it forward: "Magic, detect hostility, third law, diffusion, gravity -"
An invisible ripple emitted from the wand in his hand, spreading across the corridor like water ripples. Wherever it passed, the air pirates' movements slowed down for an instant.
It was said that it was too late and that it was too soon. He took a step forward and drew his sword with his right hand. Like a commander, he waved his sword forward: "Magic power, detection area, seventh law, explosion, force field——"
The second ripple shot forward explosively, and the group of air pirates struggling in the gravity well flew backwards as if they had hit an oncoming train.
Only the two men in bosun attire paused slightly, then pulled forward with force - like tearing apart a wave of water, with a soft 'pop' sound - they each passed through the gravity field.
One of them threw the scimitar in his hand, and the scimitar whirled towards the box and Luo Yu. Just 'when' a ray of fire swept across, the scimitar hit Luo Hao's large shield that appeared in front of the two of them at an unknown moment.
The fat man took five or six steps back before stopping. When he turned around to look at the shield, he couldn't help but be speechless. His iron guard's tower shield actually had a half-inch-deep gash cut open by this violent throw.
At this moment, Luo Yu finally completed the spell.
He raised the magic wand in his hand and gently struck down with the tail of the wand. At that moment, everyone seemed to hear an invisible voice, echoing from the elemental realm in the dark -
A circle of fluorescent ripples in the darkness spread out from the tail of his staff, like ripples.
The ripples were gently passing by the feet of the two air pirate boatswains. Before the two could react, an elemental crystal had formed out of thin air in Luo Yu's hands.
Luo Yu pointed forward.
The elemental crystals emitting colorful light immediately flew out in that direction and submerged under the opponent's feet.
Jita opened the magic book.
Pointing at one of the sections with slender, green-white fingers——
The endless peaks painted in the book seem to be hanging upside down from the clouds, and the sharp rocks are like spears, extending vertically into the sky. Above the mountains, on the top of the cloud wall, there is a muscular god with a silver beard and long hair hanging down to the ground.
He holds a heavy hammer in one hand and a sword in the other, looking at the earth indifferently.
It is Talos, the protector of the dwarves, the King of the Earth, the Lord of the Mountains.
She spoke.
The voice was childish and crisp, echoing quietly in the darkness:
"The endless peaks are listening to the echo, the valleys of the holy mountains are majestic and treacherous, the wind is howling and the sword is folded. When will my flying-winged silver helmet shine?"
She closed the book, her eyes filled with the silvery luster of ether, and she only glanced forward. In the darkness, with a soft tone, he uttered the last part of his eulogy:
"Ancient kings, listen to my prayer."
"All the saints in the mountains, please let my soul return."
The moment Luo Yu's crystal fell to the ground, an earthy yellow light surged up from the ground, and it was so thick that it was almost substantial, almost like a realm.
Luo Yu raised his hand upwards, and a long wall stood upright in the earth realm. There was a loud bang, splitting them and the air pirate into two.
"Well done." The big cat man praised the three of them without hesitation.
On the side, Afifah’s eyes sparkled. She is not ignorant. In her opinion, although these people are not as good as her father's palace guards, they are still young.
And talent is not as good as accumulation, some things are clear at a glance. The little girl immediately felt as if she had found a treasure. Compared with her sister and father, she just lacked some right-hand assistants.
Otherwise, would we still be stuck here?
But the big cat man didn't know that the little girl's heart was Xiao Jiujiu. He only held a shield with one hand to support the pillar, and said to the other party: "Hurry up and let your servant take Dick away. Let's leave this place first."
"Oh." Afifah stopped refuting this time and nodded repeatedly.
She immediately ordered her servant to carry Dict on his back, and then went over and asked insinuatingly: "Lord Holy Chosen One, are you an elementalist?"
Luo Yu nodded without understanding.
"Then do you have a female companion?"
"?"
"Um, have you ever thought about dating a princess?"
Tian Lan heard this and almost hit the wall. She turned around and looked at Luo Yu angrily.
Then he snorted heavily and ran away without looking back.
Luo Yu didn't react when he saw this scene, but Sylvide smiled and patted him on the back, signaling him to catch up quickly.
Only then did Luo Yu react, thanked the noble lady in a hurry, and hurriedly chased after her.
Afifah looked at this scene and curled her lips: "What's so good about them, big breasts but no brains?" She patted her flat chest: "This princess is not interested."
Sylvide only smiled until her eyes were crooked.
When the group of people walked out of this area, they did not encounter any more air pirates, which proved that Luo Yu's work was effective.
It wasn't until they entered the tunnel where they had fought the undead creatures before that they finally encountered a team of descendants of Flor entering from the outside.
However, after the other party tentatively fought with them, they withdrew.
Entering the area behind, everyone had to choose to find a way out of the ruins from the ground as the tunnel they came from had collapsed due to the previous explosion.
After returning to the surface, everyone split into two as agreed. According to Luo Hao's previous plan, the ladies turned back first, and the rest of the group continued to search for the 'target' in the city.
Bunigu was naturally very grateful to them.
The big cat man waved his hand, indicating to him that this was also the current purpose of the team, not just to help him. But before the two teams could separate, a team of sky pirates emerged from the diagonal stab.
Luo Yu and the others looked up and saw that the person leading the other party was the tall air pirate that Fang Plover had seen before - the second officer of the Sea Serpent.
Several people raised their weapons one after another and were preparing to fight.
But a claw stretched out from the side, blocking them. The lion man threw away the big shield in his hand, took off the scepter from the magic furnace, and looked at the man with his silver eyes -
To be precise, he looked at the four scars on the other person's face.
"You go first," the big cat man said in a rare serious tone, and turned back to look at the others: "Leave this place to me and do what you need to do."
The man also looked at him, with a complicated expression in his only remaining eye.
He also turned back and glanced at the air pirates behind him.
The air pirates seemed to understand and retreated one after another.
Seeing this scene, everyone seemed to understand something.
"Big cat..." Tian Lan, who was chasing after Luo Yu, was slightly startled. She glanced at the ferocious-looking man, then looked at the lion paladin, feeling a little worried.
"no problem?"
Baggins asked him.
Rhett shook his head: "This is between him and me, you go first."
Baggins nodded, took out a pipe from his pocket, and threw it away. "The old captain gave me a lucky pipe. Remember to return it."
The big cat man put away his pipe.
The boatswain glanced at the pirate leader - as a sailor who fought against the waves, he was already used to the grudges and grudges on the sea.
He patted the other party's shoulder: "If there is a grievance, there will be a grievance. If there is a grudge, there will be revenge."
Then turn your back to the big cat and leave.
Sylvester also watched this scene and gently pulled Tian Lan.
"Sister Sylvide?" Tianlan was a little uneasy.
But there seemed to be a different meaning in the bright eyes of the noble daughter, and she did not answer, but quietly winked at Tian Lan.
Tianlan's eyes widened immediately, looking at her in disbelief.
On the other side, Luo Hao took the first step back, put away his shield, and said to Luo Yu, Xiang and the others: "Let's leave this place first."
The two looked at each other and did as they were told.
After walking only a few steps, Box suddenly asked, "Is the direction wrong?"
Luo Hao didn't even look back and replied: "Of course."
The box looked at Luo Yu a little strangely, but Luo Yu closed his mouth and said nothing. Xiang Xiang thought for a moment and then asked: "But wait, shouldn't we go find that scholar?"
The fat man shook his head: "No, let's go back in a circle."
"go back?"
"Yes, go back."
"What can the big cat man say?"
"What does it have to do with him?" The fat man smiled sinisterly: "What's the point of talking to the air pirates? If the big cat people are in danger, we will swarm them."
For the first time, Box Poker showed a curious look on his face: "No problem?"
"The Paladins of Malan insist on asking only one's heart," Luo Hao replied in a nonsensical manner: "If we save him, can the big cat still commit suicide?"
The box seemed to understand and nodded, suddenly feeling that this was the truth.
After everyone left, Rhett slowly raised the scepter in his hand, holding it with both hands, his eyes darkened and his muscles flexed.
Like a big cat with exploded hair, it has a majestic mane and its beard and hair are spread out.
He opened his mouth, revealing his white fangs:
"Dale, we meet again."
The man with scars on his face also drew out his machete, the blade shining brightly against the firelight.
Different from the sinister look on his face when he confronted Luo Lin before, the other party looked blank at this moment and said in a hoarse voice: "Cecil, what happened with your sister is just a misunderstanding. I don't want that to happen, but everything is over. It can be undone, but now I don’t ask for your forgiveness—”
The big cat sneered and let out a long breath:
"You have said the same thing four times. But since you have a clear conscience, why are you hiding and worrying all day long?"
He pulled out the dagger from his waist with his backhand, and threw a ray of silver light in front of the man, piercing it deeply into the soil:
"Swear to Marlan, you have a clear conscience."
The man glanced at the dagger, and the scar on his face twitched, but he remained silent. After a while, he changed his words: "...I didn't expect you to become a freedom knight."
"Freedom is order," the big cat man replied: "Dale, don't be a mother-in-law."
He just finished speaking.
A ray of cold light shot from under the man's left hand which had been hidden behind his back.
But the big cat man's eyes did not move even a little, and he blocked the blow with a light block of his scepter. The crossbow bolt of a hand crossbow whirled and fell to the ground.
He looked back and saw a faint blue light flashing above the crossbow arrow.
The big cat man sneered: "You haven't changed at all, but these little tricks are useless. It's better to show your real skills."
The man then raised his scimitar.
…
Until he left the underground, Fang Plover's mind was still in a turmoil, recalling what Sylvide had told him in the communication.
Theoretically speaking, there is no need for the noble daughter to lie about this matter. But if her analysis was true, then why did Eve tell him that what was sealed underground was just the dragon's heart.
Is it because she doesn't know?
But Fang Yu looked at the eye-catching line of text in the system:
'Those who guard the ancient oaths will bear the curse of the Dragon King——'
As the inheritor of its dragon blood, does Eve really not know this? I'm afraid not necessarily. Do you still remember that when the other party completed the seal, he warned him repeatedly in a cautious tone not to go deep behind the seal?
What's behind the seal?
Only then did Fang Yu realize that the fear came from the memory deep in her soul.
Then the girl wasn't completely telling him the truth.
He remembered everything he had seen underground in Elmao Castle.
Is that broken dragon-slaying sword really the holy sword Moya? Is the soul of the Dragon King really sealed in the broken holy sword?
He still remembers the lich at that time, whose origin is still a mystery, and Ms. Delis who was very eye-catching at the time.
Fang Plover couldn't help but glance at the white cat lady who was walking in front with her tail erect and looking back at them from time to time.
But Eve wasn't telling the truth.
The benefits he gained from Dragon Heart were real. With his level of power, and only if the power contained within the Dragon's Heart fully recognizes him, can he accept this legacy unscathed.
The recognition of the power of Dragon Heart obviously comes from the Dragon Witch herself.
That is, the embodiment of her will here - Eve.
So why is all this happening?
Fang Plover was puzzled.
Aitila could see that he was thinking, and she stayed by the side without saying a word. Only Miss Nini has been sitting on his shoulder and dangling her little feet since she woke up.
A laid-back look.
Tata felt the thoughts in his mind and said warmly: "Mr. Knight, why don't you think from another direction?"
Fang Yu was startled: "Another direction?"
"Who took away Miss Eve?"
"Isn't he a descendant of Flor?"
"Why did the descendants of Flor take her away?"
"because……"
An idea flashed in Fang Yu's mind and he changed his words: "Miss Tata, are you saying that Eve sent us out of that place on purpose?"
"It makes sense logically, Mr. Knight."
"Since people of Flor's descent know this secret, it means that there is someone behind them who knows everything that happened in Idos."
"Anyone who knows the inside story of that year should be more than Mr. Knight can handle, at least in Miss Eve's opinion."
Fang Yu felt upset and annoyed after hearing this. If he had thought this through earlier, he would never have let Eve leave alone.
But it's too late to think about anything now.
The only thing he can do is to save the other party from the hands of the descendants of Flor before everything is a foregone conclusion.
But another thought flashed through his mind.
What if the person who took Eve away was not a descendant of Flor?
"If he is not a descendant of Flo," Tata replied calmly, "that person will only hide deeper and pose a greater threat to Mr. Knight."
Fang Yu couldn't help but shudder.
While he was thinking about it, he finally reached the end of the tunnel. He raised his head and looked in that direction. On the surface, it looked like it was just a fork in the road with no way to go.
But the exit was recorded in the diary, and Bunigu also described the place.
So he walked over first and pushed the wall hard. The outside was actually just a stone slab, and the movable structure below was not damaged at all.
When he pushed it, the door came loose and slid sideways.
As soon as the door opened, the rumbling sounds outside poured into the tunnel, and a flash of light from the explosion made his and Miss Elf's faces turn white.
Fang Plover looked outside and realized that the location of this place was quite good.
It is actually a lowland area located beneath a cleft. Looking up, not far away is the city hall standing on the edge of the cliff - although it is in ruins, it is still very unique compared with the surrounding buildings.
He looked around by the light of the explosion. The terrain here was not ideal for both warring parties, so no one was fighting around this place.
Looking from a distance, one can barely see the shadows of a few sky pirates and people descended from Flor.
On the cliff on one side, there seemed to be some disconnected entrances in the depression. When Fang Yu saw those entrances, a bold idea suddenly came to his mind.
Maybe he could find a way to get under the city hall without going above ground.
It's just that the underground part of the city hall is so exposed. Didn't the air pirates and previous archaeologists conduct a thorough inspection of it?
Fang Yu doubted that there would be any useful clues down there. Even if there might have been some, they should have been lost in the long run.
Could this be another way for Eve to keep him safe?
But he couldn't think about that much at the moment. After thinking for a moment, he turned back to Aitila and said: "Miss Aitila, can you become that...that person again..."
He gestured for Miss Elf to transform into a bird of paradise and land on his shoulder.
…
