Fang Plover picked up a brick from the ground and threw it in the direction of the wanderer. The brick passed through the phantom, hit the wall, and fell back into the dust. But the wanderer was indifferent and turned around, his figure dissipating like sand in the wind.
Fang Yu probably felt that his behavior was a bit too childish, so he turned around without saying a word. Miss Elf looked at the direction in which the wanderer disappeared and sighed softly: "It turns out that the dragon witch is also innocent."
But Fang Yu shook his head and said: "The innocent one is not the Dragon Witch, but Miss Eve."
He patted the dust on his hands. He seemed to have matured a lot in that moment, turned around and walked forward. He thought that according to the chronological line, the front should be the tragic disaster, when the pure girl transformed into a giant dragon.
From now on, all history can no longer be turned back, and the once prosperous Idos has been reduced to ruins. It was not until a hundred years later that such a group of people set foot on this land buried under the yellow sand.
But what Fang Yu didn't expect was that a little light appeared in the corridor ahead. The light became bigger and bigger in his field of vision, and finally expanded into a vast sky and earth.
The dazzling sunlight shone overhead, forcing Fang Plover to raise his hands to cover his eyes. He squinted his eyes and looked at this scene with some surprise. The corridor under the city hall seemed to end here——
Outside is a sky full of yellow sand, and the dusty wind that blows all year round from Istania is billowing in the valley. But this valley is not the same as the one they saw when they came. There are only towering red cliffs, but there are also ancient temples here.
Almost all of those holy temples come from the architectural style of the Sinsas era. They are buried under the gravel here for who knows how many thousands of years. The wind and sand have almost worn away the edges and contours of their appearance.
There is no such place near Idos.
So this place is still in an illusion——
But Fang Yu remembered that Eve had told him that there was an ancient temple from the Sinsas era near the Dragon Country. It is a forbidden area for the Oath Keepers clan, but it is also the place where she and Yue Xiude explored when they were young - and also the place where their love first blossomed.
The wind in the desert was whining, like the whimpering of many people gathered together, or like sharp curses. Fang Yu seemed to hear a faint sound of curses lingering in his ears. In fact, he had heard such a sound more than once.
But the one he remembers most deeply was in Doliphon. The moment Ms. Misu fell into the Dragon Witch's memory fragment, he saw many chaotic images.
There are stories about Dollifen, stories about Yoshid, and even stories about the dwarf Hagston. But the moment he fell from the square, the first thing he heard was the noise of these disputes.
He didn't hear clearly at the time.
But this time, I finally heard clearly what those people were arguing about.
"She is a monster without a father and a mother."
"Golden Eyed Monster."
"Dragon Witch."
"The shape of disaster."
"Tell her to get out."
"She is the cursed person in the prophecy."
"We will all die at her hands."
Fang Yu saw a graceful figure standing in the yellow sand in the sky. The girl was wearing a long white dress, like a flower blooming in the desert. She held her long ebony hair with one hand, and a hint of golden flame appeared in her eyes from time to time.
Aitila pulled his hand and told him to be careful not to get too close to the memories in the illusion, otherwise there is a possibility of getting lost in them.
But the girl had already turned back, with a slight smile in her eyes, and nodded to the two of them.
"We meet again, Mr. Ed."
"Eve?"
"It's me."
"Why are you here?" Fang Yu was stunned for a moment: "Where did you go after leaving the underground? Did no one take you away?"
But the girl first raised a finger and pressed it to her lips.
She stretched out her hand and pointed to the sand dunes in the distance.
Fang Yu subconsciously looked in that direction. On the high sand dune, a short figure ran out stumbling. She didn't run a few steps when her feet stumbled and she rolled down the sand dune.
Roll all the way to the bottom of the sand dune.
Thanks to the dragon witch's physique, the little girl was not seriously injured. She dusted herself off and stood up again.
But although she was not injured, her expression was full of loss, and she seemed a little lost in the yellow sand in the sky. She didn't know that there was a huge city called 'Idos' dozens of miles to the north.
Because this small village of the Oath Keepers had been her entire world since she could remember, but no one in this world was willing to accept her anymore.
Just because her name is Everiel Nicol Bolas.
She has a pair of golden pupils that are very different from ordinary people.
Fang Piao recognized the other party from the first sight. The little girl was the young version of Eve, because he had met the other party once. In the previous apparition, she had walked with the wanderer.
The little girl looked in this direction blankly, and when she saw three people here, she stumbled over.
The girl Eve walked up and supported her.
"Who are you?" The little girl looked at the three of them with a gray face and asked curiously: "I haven't seen you around here. Are you from Istania?"
"We are outsiders." The girl Eve replied softly.
"Outsiders, hey."
The little girl patted her knees and sat down. She looked at the three of them and blinked: "Aren't you afraid of me?"
"Why should we be afraid of you?" asked the girl Eve.
"My eyes," the little girl replied crisply: "I have a pair of golden eyes, and everyone hates me. But I know that they don't hate me, but are afraid of me. But I'm still young now. When I grow up, If I don’t, they won’t be afraid of me.”
"Why?" Eve asked softly.
"Because they are afraid of me now because I don't have power yet. When I really have power, no one will dare to be afraid of me." The little girl replied in a sweet voice: "The elder said that I will be the most powerful. That one, they wouldn’t dare drive me out of the village.”
She sighed again: "It's a pity that I grow up too slowly. The great elder said that I have to become stronger quickly. Now I have to find a place to hide first and go back after the storm has passed."
"Hey," she shook her head and sighed: "I wish I were Yue Xiude. Everyone likes him because he is a direct descendant of the dragon slayer. But what good things are there about dragon slayers? Don't they all flow in our bodies? With dragon’s blood?”
After hearing this, the girl Eve couldn't help but smile, touched her head, and said softly: "But the dragon blood flowing in the Oath Keepers family does not exist to oppress others. In fact, their ancestors are liberators. Together with the Númerin Elves – we saved the world from the Dark Dragon.”
As she said this, she turned around and glanced at Fang Plover:
"Mr. Ed, you told me this. Thank you for letting me understand what dragon's blood is." She looked at Attila again and said, "Miss Attila, this is the first time we meet, you good."
Both Aitila and Fang Plover had some surprises.
"Do you know me?" Aitila asked.
Eve nodded first, then shook her head.
Fang Yu looked at the small Nicol Bolas with some surprise, and then at the girl Eve beside him. Their personalities were completely different. If he hadn't looked at the vaguely similar faces, Fang Yu would have looked at him. Plover would almost think it was two people.
He never imagined that Eve would be like this when she was a child.
Little Nicol Bolas was obviously a little uneasy about the three people's indifference to her. She was kicked out of the village again. Although she was somewhat used to it, she finally found three people to chat with her.
Such a thing has never happened before.
The Dragon Country is so desolate. In the vast sea of sand, there are only a few passers-by all year round. Especially after her reputation as the 'Dragon Witch' spread like wildfire, the number of business trips passing through the Dragon Country became increasingly rare.
This made the situation in the village go from bad to worse. Everyone regarded her as the culprit. Cursing in private was fine, and some even beat her in person, but that was commonplace. Fortunately, the Great Elder Council protects her, and it is precisely because of this that she can stay in this place.
In her imagination, the world was so big, but it was all a vast sea of sand. If you leave the Land of Dragons rashly, you may be reduced to a skeleton soon.
Anyway, she was used to looking for some food here and there. Those people would never really starve her to death, and there was also an adoptive father who would visit her once a year, so she wouldn't have to worry about starvation at that time.
She looked at the three people and couldn't help but ask again: "I've said it all, why aren't you afraid of me?"
The girl Eve couldn't help but smile: "Although you say you have golden eyes, I can't see them either."
As she spoke, she raised her head and smiled at the other person with her eyes closed.
The little girl was startled, and she said a little embarrassedly: "...I'm sorry, I don't know about the items either."
"It doesn't matter," the girl Eve replied faintly: "You have eyes and are afraid of others, but I don't have eyes. Maybe I am luckier than you."
Among the four of them, only Fang Plover understood the meaning of this sentence, and couldn't help but feel a slight movement in his heart.
And young Nicol Bolas was frowning.
Fang Yu finally couldn't help but asked: "Eve, what on earth is going on?"
But the girl stood up - as she stood up, the dust all around seemed to be frozen in time, hovering in mid-air. And the small dragon witch was naturally frozen in that place like a puppet.
Still keeping up the last minute moves.
Eve turned around, faced him and Atila, and slowly opened her eyes. Under the pair of beautiful eyelashes, the first golden line revealed was like a ball of rolling lava, flowing with dazzling light.
Those eyes were none other than Nicol Bolas's golden dragon eyes.
"Sorry," Eve replied: "If Mr. Ed continues on, he will enter the last timeline. In fact, you will not see anything except blood flowing all over the city, and the flames will turn everything into ash."
"That man has calculated everything. The Great Elder and the governor of Idos are all his pawns." She paused: "And his real goal is me. To be precise, it is my dragon gold. sun about to rise."
"The illusion here is not what Mr. Ed was allowed to see by the Golden Dragon Dragon. It is just a small private thought of mine. In fact, by now you should have understood the cause and effect. Why is it necessary? How about moving forward?"
"If you keep moving forward, you will really meet that person," Eve replied softly: "Although Eve hopes that you can go to the end, holding the ring of golden flames, you are really the person in the prophecy. .”
"But at the last moment, she regretted it," the girl smiled slightly: "She left a message for you, Mr. Ed."
"She wanted you to live more than the truth."
"Because the truth will eventually be revealed to the world, and there is only one Mr. Ed."
"She said you look like Yossiude."
When Fang Yu heard this, he suddenly took a step back.
He raised his head, looked at the girl Eve standing in front of him, his face changed drastically and said: "You are not Eve, wait, are you -?"
"It's been such a long time since Van Rick said goodbye. To be honest, I think Eve is right about one thing." The girl smiled slightly: "When you were controlling Yoshid's dragon knight, you were really... Like him."
"That was a cruel man. When he pierced my eyes with his spear, he showed no mercy." Nicol Bolas sighed: "I waited for him in the dark prison for two full years, but What's waiting is just a cold spear."
"But you are better than him, because you are at least gentle to the people around you. However, there is never a happy ending in this world."
Fang Plover then took a breath of air: "... Nicol Bolas?"
He subconsciously prepared to let two capable angels stand in front of him, although he knew that if the other party was really in this place, the two capable angels would have no meaning at all. But before he could move, someone stood in front of him.
That's Etila.
Nicol Bolas looked at the two of them, with a hint of envy in his golden pupils.
Perhaps such sincere feelings were what she had once been unable to hope for. The ignorant words in the little girl's mouth became a reality one day. She really had power, and people finally no longer feared her——
Because those who feared her were burned to ashes by her.
"Don't worry," Nicol Bolas replied softly: "I was seriously injured in Vanric, and my true body is not here. If Eve hadn't requested it, I wouldn't have come to this place."
"Originally, of course I would not reach any agreement with humans," she looked at the ring of golden flames in Fang Plover's hand: "But you are different. From Dolifen to this place, the speed of your progress proves that you are extraordinary. .And this ring is the bargaining chip between you and me."
When Fang Plover heard the word 'bargain', he frowned slightly and said, "Nicol Bolas, what kind of mystery are you trying to make?"
"I just saved your life," Nicol Bolas replied. "Aren't you going to talk to me calmly?"
"Saved my life?" Fang Yu looked at the other party very suspiciously - although he had dealt with this dragon witch several times, the two of them had a life-or-death relationship before. Not to mention talking, almost meeting is to tell the difference between life and death.
But after thinking silently for a moment, he understood the other party's dilemma. This dark dragon is currently in the southern realm. Of course, it is not as good as the time in Elpaxin, where she recovered the power of a dragon horn in Traveler's Rest, and the main body absorbed a part of the dragon's gold thirty years ago. the power of.
Of course it is much more powerful than her clone here - the clone where the power of the dragon's claws is gathered. What's more, the opponent actually took a hit from Yuexiude's Dragon Knight in the battle with Vanrik. The situation at this moment is probably better described as terrible.
Even though the dragon was under the eaves, he had to bow his head. The other party came to me to talk about a 'deal' in a low manner, obviously for this reason.
It’s just that Fang Plover never planned to make any deal with the dark dragon. He just looked at the other party coldly: "Where did you hide Eve?"
Nicol Bolas looked at him carefully and replied, "Do you really think I'm lying?"
"What's the meaning?"
"If you have seen my previous encounters, you will understand that mortals are especially good at deception," Nicol Bolas replied: "But in fact, the dark dragon is not, because we believe in our own power rather than relying on the power of others. "
"Of course, this does not mean that I am 'just', although to be honest, the word 'just' is quite ridiculous," she looked at Fang Plover, "but at least, I will never deceive you. Everything I told you before The words are all Eve’s meaning.”
"Otherwise, do you really think that I am happy to be like this? The dragon is my true identity, and I don't care about your opinions at all."
As she spoke, she gradually transformed into the appearance of a giant dragon. With its huge body and outstretched wings, it almost blocks out the sky and the sun. Nicol Bolas stretched out a paw and pointed at Fang Plover and Attila.
"It was Eve who asked me to leave you here, because this is the only way to save your life. She would rather sacrifice herself to protect you - Mr. Ed."
Nicol Bolas sneered: "Honestly, people like you are at least cuter than Art, Garcia, and the Great Elder. If not, I would never find you no matter how desperate I am."
For some reason, Fang Yu suddenly thought of the prophecy about Tada Sacrifice. The omen of death flashed through his mind, but he immediately put it aside, raised his head, and said, "I'm not here to save my life, Nicol Bolas."
"Of course, I won't expect you to save Miss Eve. After all, I know that Eve has nothing to do with you. All the sins are caused by you, Nicol Bolas. In this series of events, the only one There is only one innocent person.”
"You should know who that is—"
"So don't say nonsense like you saved my life. I have never accepted your 'kindness'," Fang Yu said word by word: "Now, get out of the way. Or we can have a fight first." You are in a precarious state now, if I summon Mr. Xiude's dragon knight again, even if we try to hurt both sides, you won't be much better, right?"
"I guess you didn't come to this place just to get hurt? So you are either going to make a difference between life and death with me immediately, or you are going to end this illusion immediately. As for where I am going and what I am doing, you don't need to come. Fake concern.”
As he spoke, he threw a piece of Clockwork Goblin suspended between the two of them. Then he raised his head and looked at Nicol Bolas steadily: "You make the decision, Dragon Witch."
Nicol Bolas hesitated for the first time.
She backed away with some fear - she didn't know if Fang Pliance was telling the truth. But if the other party can really summon Yuexiude's dragon knight again, then as the other party said, it is not something she can bear at the moment.
Although it might not kill her, the new clone she got in the southern border was basically equivalent to being scrapped.
Die together with a young boy?
She wouldn't do such a thing.
Nicol Bolas narrowed her golden eyes and stared at the young man quietly. After a while, she sneered: "Well, since you are so ignorant, I will let you pass. , do you really think you are the savior, little guy?"
As she spoke, she slowly stepped aside.
Fang Plover looked in that direction and saw that the wind and sand in the sky suddenly resumed flowing, but were calming down little by little, gradually revealing the familiar, dark underground tunnel behind it. The illusion seemed to be falling apart, causing him and Attila to return to the dark underground again.
Fang Plover glanced at Nicol Bolas silently, then took the elf lady's hand and walked forward.
But he had just taken a few steps when he suddenly heard the Dragon Witch say from behind:
"etc."
Fang Yu was startled and couldn't help but look back at the other party.
Nicol Bolas glanced at him lightly and said, "Be careful with that guy."
…
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: Shukeju
