Running through an alley in a hurry, not caring about how many things he knocked aside, Fang Plover looked back while grabbing the way forward. Behind him, the Bein knights were always chasing after him, which made him curse inwardly.
He still doesn't know who the person who helped him escape from the desperate situation with a few arrows was, because the person has never shown up so far. After breaking out of the siege, they never encountered any decent resistance. They passed through the atrium smoothly, entered the outer area, and then escaped from the Bein Fortress to this place. The only headache at the moment was that the Bein people never gave up.
And this was already in the city of Bein, but he didn't know exactly whether it was an outer city or an inner city. As for what kind of city it was, he had only heard about it in the past. The wind became lighter after entering the alley, but it still rattled the lid of the wooden barrel not far away, and there was a layer of misty wind-sand in the narrow sky between the alleys. The sand and gravel in the sky are ever-changing, outlining the lines of the wind.
Looking in this direction, the direction of Bein Fortress has become shadowy, but only a layer of shadow remains.
He looked back again.
There are many considerations on that issue: it is unlikely to be someone from Rufu's Shield, they are not of this level. And who do I know in this unfamiliar place?
If it was Princess Rupert, she should have come to the door by now, but he looked around and saw that there was no one around except the roaring wind.
As for President Erna, she probably still doesn’t know that she is missing.
As for the others, there seemed to be no one else.
These thoughts flashed through Fang Yu's mind, but were quickly forgotten. Because compared to this, what is more urgent for him is the current problem-how to get rid of the knights behind him? How to escape from this place? How to contact other people?
There was no one on the street during the dust storm, and it was also late at night - not to mention the stars, there was not even a trace of firelight to be seen in the entire city, it was so dark that you couldn't even see your fingers.
He couldn't tell the direction, and he had never been to this city before. He didn't know how big Bein was or how to get out of the city - he just instinctively thought that the fortress city wouldn't be too big, and as long as he kept moving in one direction, he could always get there. Arrive at where the city wall is.
After leaving the city, at least two of the above problems can be easily solved.
But the question is, will the other party let him leave the city safely? Not to mention that in this harsh weather, even he himself had no idea whether it would be safe after leaving the city.
After only running for a while, Fang Plover felt as if his lungs were filled with sand, stinging so hard that he couldn't breathe. At the same time, his heartbeat was thundering and his eyes were filled with stars. The wind and sand rushed in front of him again, entering every hole. From the collar, sleeves and under the cloak, it seemed to fill his jacket, pants and boots, adding several kilograms of weight.
Looking back, the Bein Knight was still chasing after him. Although he could only see a shadow, the opponent never gave up.
Fang Plover had to stop and rest against the wall for a while, panting like a wild dog that was about to die of exhaustion. When the other party was a little closer, he gritted his teeth and started on the road again.
There were a few times when Fang Plover felt that he could no longer hold on. However, after struggling out of the alley, a shallow wall ridge suddenly appeared in the wind and sand in front of him.
He looked in that direction and couldn't help but feel ecstatic - that was the outer city wall of Bein. This place was exactly as he imagined. The outer city was only a few kilometers in size.
At that moment, Fang Plover was like a drowning man grasping the last straw, and a glimmer of hope rekindled in the desperate situation. He found some strength from nowhere, quickened his pace, and strode towards that The direction ran over. But after only running a few steps, Fang Plover involuntarily slowed down.
"Calm down," he suddenly calmed down and warned himself: "There may be another battle after we get to the top of the city. The most important thing right now is not to reach the bottom of the city wall, but to conserve as much strength as possible."
The long march of thousands of miles has reached the final step, but we cannot let our surprise and joyful mentality make us fall short at the last moment.
Fang Yu felt at ease. If you lose your goal, you will naturally feel hesitant and uneasy, but once you know what you want to do, there is actually nothing to worry about even if you are surrounded by many people. R also told him more than once - the mentality of worrying about gains and losses is a taboo for top recruiters.
At this moment, suddenly, a beam of flame lit up in front.
Like a lighthouse in the dark, it suddenly lit up. The fire light lit up on a watchtower. From a distance, you could see the flames beating in the strong wind, dispelling the surrounding darkness.
The light was reflected in Fang Piao's dark eyes, but he couldn't feel any warmth - it looked like a light that led people forward, but it was better to say that it was a false splendor like a moth casting into fire - he looked at the light , the heart that had just settled down sank. It was as if it was not a firelight, but a searchlight, shining on Fang Plover, who was like a prisoner in a desperate situation.
Although that place was quite a distance away from here, and it was impossible for the guards on the top of the city to see what was going on here in the darkness, Fang Plover felt like he had nowhere to hide.
One after another, the fires lit up, and the stars connected into a line. Each watchtower on the Bein city wall outlined the outline of the city. This scene even alarmed the people in the city, and lights were turned on in many places, but Fang Yu couldn't feel any beauty from it, only a coldness.
The feeling of hope that had just been ignited and then completely extinguished in a blink of an eye was enough to defeat the most tenacious will, but Fang Yu still endured it without saying a word. He thought of the battle at Dawn Star. Compared with the despair at that time, what was this? In such a desperate situation, he can also find a glimmer of hope, and of course he can now.
After Fang Yu clenched his fist, his train of thought started to work again. He took a step back and immediately changed direction before the knights could catch up.
He gave up the previous plan without hesitation.
The other side of the outer city wall should have received news from the fortress. Generally speaking, in this kind of military fortress-type city, there will be special military camps stationed on different wall sections. By the time he arrives, the opponent must have already been on the city wall. A dragnet was laid. Even if he breaks out for a moment, the opponent can follow him and catch up with him.
Although I haven't thought of a better way at the moment, it is obviously not wrong to get rid of the pursuers behind first.
On the system panel, his physical strength had dropped below the warning line, and a red warning light page popped up on his face. But in fact, he didn't need to be reminded. He could detect that his physical condition had declined significantly based on his own feelings.
But he deliberately didn't think about these things, trying to divert his attention to make himself feel better. Thinking of the battle at Dawn Star, he couldn't help but think of his own feat that night, escaping from the attack of the giant suit. Looking back, even he himself didn't know how he did it. .
If he hadn't been so embarrassed later and died at the hands of Miss Miya because of a misunderstanding, his performance that night would have been almost perfect.
Although he later experienced events such as Dolifen and Fenris Island, when he thought about it carefully, it was the battle on the Dawn Star that left the deepest memory in his memory - perhaps not just the performance itself, but also Miss Scarpet, the Queen. Mr. Lord, everyone, and the girl with silver hair and wolf ears.
As soon as his mind changed, another face appeared in his mind, Miss Ship Officer's sea-blue eyes, the blue was like the vast sky and sea, or a quiet lake, hiding endless secrets. The two of them went from strangers who didn't know each other to the relationship they are committed to each other today. Sometimes when Fang Piao thinks about it, it feels like a dream.
He actually found an Aboriginal girlfriend.
Fortunately, my aunt seemed to know about this and didn't seem to object too much.
There may be some troubles in the future, but that is the future after all. Fang Plover has always had a muddled mentality, otherwise he would not have found someone to sneak here in the first place.
Normal people know that such a thing cannot be kept secret for a lifetime, and the truth will eventually come out one day. He didn't know what would happen if the smuggling was discovered, but in short, let's talk about it first. And the final resolution was quite satisfactory, wasn't it? If the military didn't pursue the matter, others actually had nothing to say.
He only needs to pay attention to the Super Competitive League, but the league's restrictions on free draftees like him are limited.
These messy thoughts flashed through Fang Yu's heart, which seemed to relieve him a lot of current pressure. When he counted the people he knew around him one by one, and thought of Miss Aitila, he suddenly felt Move slightly.
He remembered that not long ago, he had experienced a divine descent from the goddess Amaya, and during that divine descent, the other party seemed to have given him a clueless revelation. The image of a somewhat simple emblem flashed through his mind at this moment - it was a gray wolf and a long sword.
The majestic head of the gray wolf is engraved on the holy sword of morning light.
That is the emblem of Marlan.
Amaya told him that the person holding this emblem was exactly the person he was looking for. Among the Seven Seas Brigade, only the big cat man is a believer in Malan and a knight pursuing freedom. Unfortunately, the big cat man is obviously not the so-called 'person he is looking for' in the goddess's mouth. Likewise, Sir Dickert, who had recently left Tansniel, apparently was not.
By some strange coincidence, Fang Plover suddenly slowed down his pace, and then gradually stopped.
He held one hand against the wall and panted for a while, then raised his head and looked forward.
In front of the empty street, there is a mist, but that is just an illusion, an illusion caused by wind and sand. Balls of sand surged in the street, and from time to time something flew through the dust, a palm leaf, or a whole broken tree. They rolled and flew sideways.
On the opposite side of the street, there is a tall, majestic church that stands silently in the wind. On the gray wall, there is a simple coat of arms engraved on it.
In such a military fortress, it is self-evident that the temple of one god will be the most conspicuous.
Fang Yu stared blankly in that direction, facing the temple across a street. He didn't even know why he stopped when there were pursuers behind him.
But he felt like he was possessed, and he always felt that there was a possible voice in his heart, telling him that this would work. But as for what would work, even he couldn't tell clearly. He tried several times but couldn't take a step forward. A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and he suddenly realized something, calmed down, and strode across the street regardless of the knight chasing after him.
Walked towards the front.
…
Ye Hua looked at the clusters of firelights lighting up in the darkness in the distance, and gently put down the long bow in his hand - those firelights looked extremely far away from the fortress, like a string of looming stars, gradually outlining the outline of the outer wall. shape. From a distance, it's quite spectacular.
"Do you think he can escape?" Beside the Ranger King, a middle-aged man obviously dressed as an alchemist asked. But despite saying such words, the alchemist did not look at the latter, who had short silver-gray hair that looked like withered grass in the strong wind.
"Have you reached an agreement with Delan?"
The middle-aged man did not answer directly, only said: "He never gave up."
Ye Hua's eyes flashed slightly: "So he is here to make peace with..."
But the middle-aged man interrupted him and said, "This has nothing to do with you. Why don't you answer my question first."
Ye Hua shook his head.
"The man you rescued," the former said with some interest, "it seems you know him, but since you think he can't escape, why don't you bring him up."
Ye Hua was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "There is a bit of misunderstanding between me and him."
The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with curiosity.
"Do you remember that I met an interesting young man in Idos?"
The middle-aged man nodded.
"I recommended that young man to the Elfendor Council. You know, it was originally part of the Southern Alliance," Ye Hua replied: "I just didn't expect that this recommendation would bring so much trouble, because I didn't know at the time what would happen to Dolifen later - but it was no excuse, after all, it was me who caused it. So I owe him an explanation for this matter."
"It's really troublesome," the middle-aged man replied, "So I understand, you don't want to involve him?"
Ye Hua nodded.
He then laughed again: "When I shook my head earlier, it didn't mean that he couldn't escape, but that I didn't know either."
"You don't know either?"
"Yeah," Ye Hua thought of the things he knew, and an interesting light flashed in his eyes: "For that little guy, nothing is impossible. You never know what step he can take. , so you can never speculate.”
The middle-aged man turned around for the first time and looked at him with confusion. He probably didn't expect that Ye Hua would have such a high opinion of a stranger he met accidentally. "I've never heard you talk about it before."
"No, of course I did."
"how?"
"That thing I mentioned to you just half a month ago."
The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows with a look of surprise on his face: "It turns out it's him."
He pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "So he also killed my clockwork fairy?"
Ye Hua also smiled bitterly. "I didn't expect it to be the same person." The strong wind was pulling his cloak swaying. He took one last look at the dark night, turned and walked back, and said: "If there is a chance, I can bring him to see him. On your side."
"No."
The middle-aged man said. "I've seen him."
Ye Hua was stunned for a moment and turned around in surprise.
…
The temple doors were not locked.
In fact, the temples in Malan are rarely locked - because it is unlikely that a thief without eyes would dare to steal into such a place.
This is the lady of justice and courage, the guide and judge of war. Her paladin is naturally the enemy of all evil and injustice. Unless a thief wants to 'change his mind' from now on, he will definitely consider staying as far away from this lady as possible. The Holy Land is further away.
When Fang Plover pushed the door open, the door creaked and dust fell from above.
Fang Plover suddenly sneezed and shook his head speechlessly, secretly regretting that he shouldn't have taken off the hood so early, but dust fell on his head.
And he shook his head, suddenly feeling something was not right, because it seemed that a gaze was falling on him. He was startled for a moment before he remembered that he had come uninvited. When he looked up, he found an old knight wearing linen robes with no trace of age on his face, looking at him in astonishment.
The other party has a pair of gray eyes that are rare in this area. He is probably of some Djinn descent. He is indeed tall, but not as tall as the pure Djinn lady Erna.
The knight guarding the temple apparently heard a noise outside, so he came out to investigate, but he didn't want to bump into Fang Plover.
"Your Excellency?"
The knight probably saw his identity and knew that he was not a local. He thought for a moment and spoke pure Kaolin.
Fang Yu couldn't help but look at the other party with his mouth wide open for a moment. He couldn't tell the other party that he was actually being hunted by Cup. He came here for no reason, just because he was inspired inexplicably, right? Although it is common for believers in Aitaria to be inspired, the problem is that such situations are still very rare among the chosen ones.
What's more, he still hasn't figured out what kind of inspiration he received. It's not clear whether the inspiration came from Amaya or Marlan.
Although the two women have always been staunch allies, their followers are still divided.
And just when he didn't know how to speak, a burst of noise came from behind the two of them.
The Bein Knights behind him caught up.
