The man moved with mechanical steps, walking from the light of one streetlight to the light of another streetlight, moving forward in the dark alley between the distant lights, and the dim light fell on his long On the cloak, it appears to be bright and dark.
He walked through those alleys that Fang Plover couldn't name, one after another, from one intersection to another, walking stiffly, but without hesitation. Men always seem to be able to avoid those busy streets. Sometimes they are only separated by a row of buildings. At the intersection, they pass by a group of patrolling knights in black and white uniforms. The inside of the alley and the outside are like two completely different places. The world is dark on one side, and brightly lit on the other.
He only stopped there once, waiting for the patrolling knights to leave far away, then turned away from them and entered another deeper alley, passing through the stairs and old covered bridges, the alley became It is getting narrower and narrower, and the surrounding buildings are lined up in rows. The steep eaves are like fangs extending into the night sky.
A clockwork fairy buzzed in the night sky, the sound of flapping its wings was not loud. When this small brass ball passed by the window, it did not even wake those who had fallen asleep.
The man limped forward, unaware of what was going on behind him. Fang Yu didn't know if the person controlling all this behind the scenes was aware of the movements around him through his own magic, but judging from the reaction of the citizen , it seems not possible.
The man's actions are like a pre-set program, where he stays and where he waits. Fang Yu tried several times. Even if he didn't follow, the person leading the way would leave at the designated time, exactly the same every time.
The other party must not have practiced all this on the first day, but it has only been two days since the Seven Seas Brigade arrived here. The other party must have practiced it many times before this day. During this time, many different people may have walked back and forth on this road. Walked by.
But what is the purpose of such a huge effort?
In the Clockwork Fairy's field of vision, the man's pace finally slowed down, and he seemed to have reached his destination.
But it was just a dark alley, the surrounding doors and windows were closed, and nothing unusual could be seen. A black cat squatted on the windowsill, its eyes emitting green light. When the man entered the alley, it jumped off the windowsill with a sharp cry and landed on an abandoned wooden barrel. , looking back in this direction.
After a while, it jumped off the barrel again and disappeared in twos and twos.
It was at this time that a shrill whistle suddenly sounded on the street next door. Fang Luo had heard the sound of knights blowing copper whistles to arrest suspects during the day, and it was exactly the same sound. He subconsciously turned back in that direction, only to find golden flames and thick smoke billowing in the night sky across the street.
"There's a fire?" Fang Yu was startled.
But he only looked at it for a moment, then turned around and returned his attention to the matter at hand. He doesn't care what those knights are doing. The key is not to lose them. This is the most important thing now.
But when he turned around and looked into the goggles, he suddenly stayed in place, and he couldn't help being shocked - he saw that the Clockwork Fairy's field of vision was empty, and the man had already disappeared without a trace.
Since he had considered various possibilities before coming here, and had not even thought that this might be a trap, Fang Yu immediately calmed down and eliminated several obviously impossible options in his mind regarding the current situation.
First of all, could it be that I was distracted before and lost track of my target? But it only took a moment for him to turn around. Even if the man maintained his previous speed, he would not be able to walk out of this alley in such a short time with his stiff steps.
So could it be that he entered a certain door? This is a possibility, but since the other party invited me over and found that no one followed, I should at least come out and take a look, right? However, the dark alley was quiet. Except for the sharp whistles coming and going one block away, there was no change from before.
However, the clockwork fairy was quite far away from the man before, and he kept a considerable distance from his clockwork fairy behind him, so Fang Yu didn't worry that he would be discovered for a while. He immediately raised his gloves and let the clockwork fairy climb up quickly, wanting to see what happened before from a higher height.
But the Clockwork Goblin's field of vision rose higher and higher, and there was still no shadow of the target in the dotted alleys around him. Even in the dark night, it was rare to see even a pedestrian in these remote alleys.
He raised the sight of the Clockwork Goblin and judged his position. He had been following the man for almost half an hour, and now he was almost in the very west direction of the town. Through the Clockwork Goblin's bird's eye view, one could even see the low stone walls on the outskirts of the town and the vast forest in the night.
Fang Yu was a little confused. He didn't know if he had successfully avoided a trap through the clockwork fairy. Although the current situation seems similar, after all, if the other party sincerely wants to meet with him, he should not cause such a trouble.
When he calmly ordered the clockwork goblin to fly back, he subconsciously glanced at the fire point in the next block. The fire seemed to be a three-story apartment, with golden flames billowing from the roof and thick smoke rising straight up. There was nothing visible in the sky. Many people gathered on the street, seemingly putting out the fire.
But as the Clockwork Fairy's vision turned, Fang Plover suddenly discovered that there were several figures walking on the roof in the alley behind him.
From a high-altitude view, the shadows dragging a long cloak and leaping across the adjacent rooftops appear to be human figures. However, among adventurers, there are only a few professions that can achieve such skill, either Nightingale or Ranger.
When Fang Plover saw clearly the direction in which the figures were heading, he felt slightly startled when he realized that they were actually coming in his direction. He subconsciously wanted to retreat, but it was too late. A figure appeared from the roof not far away, pointing the long bow in this direction.
"Who is there?"
The other party shouted lowly.
There was a rustling sound, and more figures appeared from the surrounding rooftops, each holding a bow and crossbow. The cold light of the arrows reflected the flickering flames a block away, which was slightly dazzling. .
Fang Yu didn't know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, but he couldn't place his hope of survival on these strangers of unknown origin. He didn't even have time to think about what went wrong. He immediately raised his hand and pressed it on the information crystal, preparing to summon a dragon hunter to stand in front of him.
But his actions were equally obvious in the eyes of these rangers. The leading ranger suddenly let go of his hand, and there was a buzzing sound in the air, like a flickering cold light in the dark night, and the arrow shot through the air.
However, a transparent ripple swept across the alley. Where it passed, the roof boards, doors, windows, and even the wooden tiles on the eaves made creaking sounds. The tiles seemed to be lifted from the roof by an invisible hand. When it was pulled out, it stood upright like a cat with fried hair. The nails nailed to it were also pulled out, and one by one they were suspended in the air.
The ripples hit the flying arrows, and the latter immediately flew out in a swirl, like a strong wind blowing across the roof. Everyone could not hold the bow and crossbow in their hands, and they flew out one after another, flying towards In mid-air, they gathered into a ball, and then fell heavily.
At that moment, the tiles and nails also fell down one after another, falling to the ground with a thin clatter.
Only a few people can hold the bow in their hands, including the one who just shot the arrow at Fang Plover, but most of them have lost the arrow in their hands, and they don't know what to do when encountering such a bizarre thing. good.
As for most of the rangers who had seen this before, they all stood blankly on the spot.
Fang Plover turned around and looked in one direction of the alley. Sure enough, he saw a junior high school boy who had raised his collar and covered his face tightly, holding a wand and walking out from that direction. On the other side, there was a maid standing at the entrance of the alley.
Siesta put on her arm guards, raised her head from a distance, and looked at the enemy on the roof.
"Why are you here?" Fang Plover asked the box with his eyes.
Box turned around and glanced at Siesta, and Fang Plover immediately understood that the only one in the team who could command these two people, apart from himself, was Sylvide.
Siesta only obeyed the instructions of her young lady, but she would do some things for him even if she had to do so - at least serve him tea and water, and treat him as the same as her young lady. As for the box, after being praised several times by Sylvester with words such as indifference and ruthlessness, he was completely bought over.
However, Fang Yu felt a little annoyed. Of course, he understood that Sylvester couldn't trust him, but this always made him feel that he was not so reliable and reassured.
Of course he was annoyed, and he couldn't say anything at the moment. Fortunately, the box came, otherwise he would really suffer a big loss.
After a while, someone among those people shouted:
"A wizard from the Lingen school!"
That's another name for power magicians, just because most wizards in this school are good at it.
This claim was obviously directed at the box. The rangers must have mistakenly recognized the person. They probably thought the box was a tower wizard or even an occultist, both of which were high-level titles for magicians.
The Great Mage Karatu once served in the Horntus Bay Academy and worked as an occultist for a period of time. Of course, he later advanced to become a Grand Mage, which is another story. However, for those who choose, Occultist is already a fourth-level profession, equivalent to level 30 and above.
What's more, the blow before the box was more than just the power displayed by a wizard of around level 30.
In short, these people should have been shocked by the box.
However, Xiang Xiang quietly made a '2' gesture to Fang Plover. He pressed his magic glove with one hand. Fang Plover knew very well that the previous scene was the result of this glove. Shana's friend gave him and Ai Xiaoxiao a gift. The gift given to the box was this glove. It has a total of three charges. Each time after a long period of charging, it can be extremely strengthened. The wearer's power spells.
Fang Yu has never heard of the origin of this glove, but it is obviously worth a lot of money and should not be produced in the first world.
The gesture the box gave him meant that the glove still had two charges left. Unless a magic storage crystal was used, it would take several days to charge each time in its natural state.
However, the battle did not continue. At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind the rangers:
"stop."
It was a woman's voice, and Fang Yu felt vaguely familiar with it.
But just when he was searching for the matching voice from his memory, the owner of the voice had already appeared in his field of vision, it was the woman named 'Saya'.
"Mr. Ed, we meet again," Saya looked at them condescendingly. The firelight in the distance reflected her long red ponytail hair, and the tips of her hair seemed to be burning. There was a complicated look in her green eyes. The light: "I wonder if you still remember us?"
Fang Yu nodded. In fact, after the encounter at the trial court, he had already remembered where he had seen each other: "You are from Tapolis, why are you here? I heard that after leaving Idris Aren’t you planning to go to Fenris? Also, what is your relationship with the Crow’s Claw Temple?”
He asked several questions in succession, and these questions had puzzled him for the past two days.
Saya shook her head slightly: "There is no more Tapolis."
She didn't seem to want to talk about this topic anymore, so she just put her arch on her back, jumped from the roof, landed firmly, and then stood up. Seeing this, the other rangers also put away their weapons, came down from the roof, and circled around.
Box and Siesta also came over.
"What's going on?" Fang Yu was startled and asked in surprise.
Things weren't looking good for the Oak Knights at the time Idris met these men, but they seem to be looking even worse now. How could the people of Tapolis confront the Crow's Claw Temple? Shouldn't they be recruited by the Rainbow Alliance or the Descendants of Flore?
As he asked, he looked at the people around him. There didn't seem to be many familiar faces among the rangers.
"Don't look at them," Saya replied in a cold voice, her tone seemed to be consistent, "They are not from Tapolis, we are just in the same boat, we are 'refugees', just like last time I answered you."
"refugee?"
"I'll tell you what's going on, Mr. Ed," Saya stretched her hands behind her head, untied her ponytail, and let her long red hair fall down, as if she was out of combat mode, and at the same time said to She walked forward, "Actually, I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly. I had given up all hope..." She turned back to look at the three of them and said, "But anyway, leave this place first, before the Crow Claw Knight arrives. "
Fang Yu was surprised: "Wait a minute, were you the ones who sent us just now?"
Saya glanced at them with green eyes and nodded: "...I asked Abigail to find you, but...forget it, come with me, let's go to a safe place first."
Fang Yu was full of doubts, but for a moment he didn't know where to start. He had imagined various possibilities, but never thought of this.
"By the way," he suddenly asked, "Where's Xiao Kong?"
He remembered that the young ranger boy who had a similar personality to his own had given him a magic bow when he was in Idris.
But after hearing this question, Saya's face suddenly showed a somewhat indescribable look, but it took a while. She looked at Fang Plover and suddenly let down her guard: "You actually still remember him."
"Of course."
Fang Yu was secretly worried - what did he mean by looking down on others? His memory has always been very good.
"Xiao Kong may have to leave Aitaria," Dan Saya suddenly replied: "The bow you gave him gave him a lot of motivation. He has made rapid progress during this time... Forget it, don't say it. Well, actually I didn't want to trouble you originally, and this matter has nothing to do with you... But ever since he learned that you let us go at the trial court, he has always wanted to see you..."
"He is leaving Etalia, why?"
Fang Yu suddenly closed his mouth.
The Chosen Ones sometimes use euphemisms to describe the way they leave Aitaria. For people on Earth, it is a different kind of return. But it is actually another way of saying 'death'. In this world, another period of life is lost forever.
However, the death of the chosen ones is often sudden, and the idea that they may have to leave Aitaria sounds a bit concerning.
"What kind of vicious curse has Xiaokong been cursed by?" Fang Yu could only think of this possibility for a while.
"The situation is a bit difficult to say."
Saya shook her head, looking a little tired: "If you don't waste your time, maybe you will understand if you are willing to meet him."
Fang Plover looked at the box and Siesta on the side.
Then he nodded: "Take us there. By the way, I want to know what happened."
Saya glanced at them without comment, just turned around and walked towards the other end of the alley.
The curious eyes of the rangers also passed over the three of them. Of course, they were still paying attention to the box that stood silently aside. After all, in their opinion, it was a tower wizard, or an occultist, a person above level 30. guy.
Among the selectors whose average level is only twenty-five, they are already considered to be at the top of the pyramid.
In particular, these people are generally only at level 17 or 18, with few at level 20. They are at the same level as the Crow Claw Knights outside, or even slightly stronger. They are also well-known adventurers in this area. But compared to the 'legendary' characters above level 30, that's nothing.
In the north, there are the Spear of the Silver Forest, the Silver Veslan, and the Jefrit Red Team. These are large guilds with tens of thousands of people, but there are selectors above level 30 in the entire guild. , it will not exceed 1%. Brigades like Yin Zhiyi are usually active in remote areas, and it is rare for ordinary people to see them.
Even if there are some private masters, they are rare in the major free mercenary adventure groups, and most of them are very old.
People were whispering and whispering to each other: "Miss Saya actually knows such a master?"
"Miss Saya is after all a member of the Oak Knights. There were such masters in Tapolis' past brigade, so this is nothing to her."
"That's right."
From the words of these people, Fang Yu believed what the other party said before. It seemed that these people were not from Tapolis.
He looked away, followed, and couldn't help but ask: "Do you recognize us?"
Saya was putting her hand on a door and turned to look at them after hearing this question.
"We are not fools. If we can't figure out who you are after meeting each other twice, wouldn't it be a waste of our eyes?"
"You can guess how many talented alchemists there are at the age of Corin-Ithulian with your eyes closed."
"Really, Mr. Ed?"
