The first thing Fang Yu wanted to figure out was whether the other party's reason for trying to take away Sylvide was that their identities had been exposed, or was it the 'prophecy' that sounded a bit absurd?
However, the people who stayed in the hotel were a little confused about this matter. Even Mei, who was responsible for negotiating with the people from the Crow's Claw Temple, thought for a while before saying: The other party did indeed mention that there was such a prophecy. , so that Miss Sylvide must accept their interrogation.
He asked General Luo Hao to drag the still confused commander back, but he pretended to be crazy and refused to say anything. Fang Yu was unlikely to put him under house arrest, so he had to send him to be resurrected. And the commander's pretending to be crazy at least made them sure of one thing. It seemed that the people in the Crow's Claw Temple had a deeper reason for causing trouble for them.
Because if the other party was just arresting suspects for the Kaolin royal family, there would be no need for such trouble.
Now it seems that it is really related to that 'prophecy'. If there really is a prophecy, then Fang Plover must at least figure out what the 'prophecy' related to Sylvide is.
He asked people to collect the knights captured on the battlefield, and the "redeemed" people who came with him volunteered to help. Otherwise, the people of the Seven Seas Brigade might be too busy. It can be said that a dozen people can defeat an enemy ten times their size here, which is beyond everyone's expectations.
The battlefield was in chaos and filled with smoke. Many people took out recording crystals to take pictures of the remaining traces on the battlefield. Some people were still explaining while taking pictures, and carefully swept the pictures towards Fang Plover or others. Pass. But Fang Yu didn't stop these people. He had an idea in his mind that he might be able to use these people later.
The leader of the 'redeemed', after witnessing the strength displayed by Fang Plover, had a huge change in attitude. Although the other party had been friendly from the beginning, he still tried to take the initiative, but now he is somewhat It was almost humbling, and it was obvious that the strength displayed by Fang Yu gave him a huge sense of awe.
"My name is Blackbo Greco, Master Ed. You can call me Blackbo, or 'Gray Whistle', that's my nickname." The tall man changed his previous attitude and spoke to me cautiously. He spoke.
Fang Yu was startled and looked at the other party in surprise: "What do you call me?"
"Master," Blackbo said, "I have been a soldier for several years, which is what people often call a defender. In the past, I heard veterans say that those who can command an army of constructs into battle on the battlefield are basically all He is a master craftsman from the south.”
Fang Yu shook his head and pointed out the other party's mistake: "I am not a master craftsman, Mr. Gray Whistle, and master craftsman is not the title of a combat craftsman."
The fate of a country's alchemists is usually inseparable from the country's strength. Therefore, in the past, it was often seen that the craftsmen's association of the country where it was located directly supported the kingdom's wars. In fact, the Kaolin-Ithurian The battle craftsmen of the country also came into being under this background. Of course, other countries in Aitalia are also very different.
Elpaxin is the center of the Northern Territory. In the previous wars in the Northern Territory, whether it was fighting foreign aggression or resisting barbarian invasion, the alchemists from the Elpaxin Craftsmen Association can be seen. The master craftsmen from the south mentioned by the other party are probably referring to the battle craftsmen from Elpaxin.
But of course he is not as good as those people, the combat craftsmen who have left a reputation in the past wars. Those people are the leaders of the battle department of the Elpaxin Craftsmen Association, group leaders or even department heads, or four Elite craftsmen above level ten are either directly pseudo-dragon knights.
Even guild elites like Yu Ming may have participated in one or two such wars after becoming famous. Those who can be sent by the Craftsmen Association must at least have a certain level of strength, and such strength has nothing to do with him for the time being. He just has some abilities that make his constructs look like an 'army', but he is still far, far away from a real 'construct army'.
Both in quantity and quality.
After all, apart from the Supreme Being, commanding an 'army' of constructs should be regarded as one of the ultimate pursuits of every combat craftsman. Of course, people like Lady Hades, the Gray King and even Virus have long disdained this goal, but for him, it is just a distant yearning.
He has only started on this path, and may have gone a little further than others, but that's all.
But Blackbo smiled and thought he was being modest.
There are about 200,000 registered alchemists of Elpaxin Artisan, accounting for almost one-fifth of the population of the North. There are countless registered or unlicensed folk alchemists. It seems that just picking up a stone can Three or five alchemists were smashed out from the road. And any one of them who can control the clockwork goblin calls himself a battle craftsman.
He has seen many such combat craftsmen, and even has several under his command, but there is obviously a difference between combat craftsmen and combat craftsmen. Of course it was not that he had never heard of Fang Plover's reputation in the past. Dolifen's hero's reputation could not be more resounding in the north now——
Later, Fang Plover's reputation in Vanrik gradually spread to the north. Although he was an aborigine, he had also heard about it. If not, he wouldn't have been able to find the other party, but he originally thought that the other party might have some strength, but he didn't expect that this strength was beyond his imagination.
What is that overwhelming array of constructs if not an army? At least compared to the craftsmen he had seen, they were completely different.
Blackbo looked back and saw the combat craftsman in his team looking at the opponent with a dull look, which was much more outrageous than his own. That man was still a Holy Chosen One, and he thought he knew those people quite well.
"Perhaps those veterans were wrong, but at least that's what I heard them say, but we people don't have much knowledge." He laughed and replied, but he still followed suit and changed his words: "But Ai Mr. De, those knights don’t seem to want to cooperate.”
Mentioning this, Fang Plover also had a headache. The knights they captured were all fanatical believers in the Crow's Claw Temple. Like the commander, he refused to say a word to them. In desperation, he had to entrust Blackbo and his "redeemed" to resurrect these knights.
Although the "Stargate Declaration" prohibits the Chosen from attacking the indigenous people, it is talking about ordinary people and bandits. Bandits and cultists are not included in this. Defensive counterattack is naturally not illegal - and this time it is the Crow Claw Saint. The people from the palace made the first move, and the two sides were truly hostile in this battle.
As a world with stars, Etalia naturally has its own traditions. The rules here are completely different from those on Earth. People take life and death lightly - conflicts and battles are not uncommon. Of course, the electors also have the right to protect themselves and to participate in these competitions legally and compliantly.
But what Fang Yu didn't expect was that he would eventually learn the truth from a group of captured mercenaries.
After all, starlight is precious. Unlike knights with fanatical beliefs, mercenaries are not willing to lose their lives for that little money, especially when their employers have surrendered.
"We don't know the cause and effect here, sir," the mercenaries stammered, "but if you want to ask about a 'prophecy', we guess it may be related to the crow prophecy."
"Raven prophecy?"
"This prophecy is really well known to everyone, sir. People in the Crow's Claw Temple have been preaching about it. If you don't believe it, you can ask everyone here. Those people claim that the darkest moment will come, and the crows will go first. The end is coming, and the Storm Lord will return to this world at some point..."
Another resurrected god, Fang Yu thought. However, Aidanlian's followers have always believed that their god will return from the dead, which is not surprising. That's nothing more than another former god in the Oulin pantheon.
He asked: "Then what are they doing here?"
"I guess it's for the Crow's Children, sir..."
"Son of Crow?"
"They haven't told us this, it's just our guess," the mercenary hesitated again, "The prophecy says that when the disaster comes, seven descendants of the shadow will come to the world. We I overheard them discussing that young lady..."
Fang Yu looked back at Sylvester: "That lady?"
"...We don't know the specifics," the mercenaries shook their heads: "But in short, it should be someone in this hotel. This is also the purpose of our coming here."
Hearing this, Fang Yu had roughly understood the cause and effect of the whole incident. He suddenly remembered the way the Crow Knight looked at Sylvester a few days ago, and there was a lingering uneasiness in his heart at that time. I just didn't expect that the anxiety I felt that day would come true at this moment. Could it be that the other party thought that Sylvide was one of the so-called descendants of the seven shadows at that time?
Of course he didn't believe this nonsense and asked for some details, but the mercenary only heard about the prophecy and didn't know the basis of it.
After repeated inquiries to no avail, he decided to fulfill his promise and let these mercenaries leave. Originally, there was no point in killing these people. They were just there for food, but he still said to these mercenaries: "I can let you go, but you'd better leave this place right away."
The mercenaries seemed to hear what he meant, looked at each other, and agreed submissively.
Fang Yu saw Blackbo coming up after listening to his words, and seemed to want to say something. But he shook his head at the other party, indicating that he would talk about it later, and then returned to the Seven Seas Brigade and told the news he had learned.
"Children of Crow?" After hearing what he said, Sylvide's eyes revealed an unexpected light.
Fang Yucai asked her: "Sylwede, have you really never heard of this?"
The ship officer shook her head slightly and said that she had never heard of anything like this since she was a child. She herself has no unique abilities. Apart from being slightly smarter than ordinary people, she is no different from ordinary people.
However, Fang Piao didn't expect that he would be able to find it without any effort. After listening to his description, the naturalist lady who came back with Parker actually said that she had heard about this prophecy.
"Crow prophecy?" Jita asked a little uneasily when she heard him mention this matter.
Her face still hadn't recovered and looked a little pale. Thinking of what happened before, she couldn't help but frown. "That's a prophecy from the Chiso people, Brother Ed..." She bit her lip and couldn't help but said with a little worry: "What I summoned before was exactly the King of Crows described in this prophecy, Terra. Erqi..."
"What's going on?" Fang Yu was stunned.
"I'm sorry," Jita looked a little guilty, "I heard that crows are the symbol of the Lord of Storms, and people in the Crow Claw Temple generally respect this kind of creature, so they chose this prophecy. I didn't expect that they would do it because of this. Come on, will I be self-defeating..."
Fang Yu couldn't help but dumbfounded after hearing this. He thought that this was really self-defeating. It didn't matter whether there were any crow descendants among them, but he was afraid that the other party would think so.
But he wasn't too worried. No matter what the other party thought, they were already on opposite sides. And regarding Jita, he thought it was just a coincidence. There were not many legends related to crows. If the other party was looking for an ancient myth related to crows, it was entirely possible for it to happen by chance.
He comforted the other party for a few words, and then asked: "Jita, you understand the prophecy, can you tell us about the Crow's Children?"
Jita thought for a moment, nodded and said: "The crow prophecy describes a disaster... and judging from the current situation, this disaster may be an allusion to the arrival of the third evil star. However, the Chiso people believe that, There will be only guidance in this disaster, and that is what is described in the prophecy, coming from the sleeping god under the abyss - Terraeche, the King of Crows."
"...And when disaster strikes, there will be seven descendants who possess its power and walk in this world..."
Jita looked at Sylvester and said softly: "When the disaster comes, descending from it are the seven descendants of the shadow. Some of them are cruel and easy to kill, bringing disaster, while others lead people with wisdom. Walk through the darkness, get through the darkest moments.”
"So the people in the Crow Claw Temple think that Miss Sylvide is one of the seven heirs?" Parker asked in surprise when he heard this: "So this is why they are causing trouble for us, but I think Sylvide It’s no different from ordinary people.”
"You'd better keep your voice down, Parker," Alyssa said angrily: "Otherwise, even if we have nothing to do with this prophecy, the relevant rumors will spread throughout the North. The people in the Crow's Claw Temple may not be all right. It's entirely possible that this is just an excuse, not to mention that this prediction may not be true."
Parker thought for a moment and wanted to refute, but after looking at Fang Plover's face, he didn't dare to speak.
In fact, after hearing this, Fang Plover has completely understood the Crow's Claw Temple's intentions. As long as the other party still believes in this prophecy, the seven shadow descendants who control the power of Terra Echi are the bargaining chips they must grasp. Then the other party's behavior here is completely understandable.
But that doesn't mean he will accept it. Regardless of whether Sylvide is a descendant of the Shadow or not, she is first and foremost a member of the Seven Seas Brigade - and secondly, his girlfriend. He stretched out his hand and gently shook Sylvester's hand, indicating that the other party was extremely worried.
However, Sylvide looked normal and was not worried about this matter at first. She looked at her hand that was being held and thought it was Fang Plover who was secretly taking advantage of her. She pursed her lips and smiled.
"But no matter what," Alyssa said again at this time: "We have completely offended the people of the Crow's Claw Temple this time, and they will definitely not let it go. The news that those knights brought back here after they were resurrected, they quickly It will come back. What should we do next, leave this place?"
But Fang Yu shook his head.
He stopped and looked at everyone seriously: "Actually, this is another thing I plan to tell you."
Miss Nightingale looked at him a little surprised.
But if it was the original Fang Plover, he might really choose that way. The people in the Crow Claw Temple couldn't keep them anyway, so they could just leave.
However, since the moment he started fighting with those knights in the square, he had actually had a completely different idea in his mind than before. He had always avoided it blindly before, but whether it was the Crow Claw Temple or the Flore Regardless of whether they are descendants or alliances, they will always press forward step by step.
A single loss will not make these people stop, but will make them worse. He had fought back in Vanric, Fenris, and even Istania, but a single counterattack could not solve the problem. The only time in history that the descendants of Flor, the Rainbow Alliance, and even the Alliance retreated was actually There was only the broad alliance of Free Chosen on Mount Covenant.
But alas, the Covenant Hill incident was short-lived.
But that at least made him think that the Seven Seas Brigade did not have no other way to go. The questions he asked Su Changfeng before were actually the urgent doubts in his heart.
Su Changfeng asked him what he understood, and what he understood was actually this simple truth——
He doesn't need to wipe out the Alliance.
But he can indeed make life less difficult for the league.
This may sound like a fantasy, but it's not like he hasn't thought about defeating the Alliance, and it's not like he hasn't done it before, so it actually doesn't matter. Fang Yu always believed that he was actually a very arrogant person, otherwise he would not have made those shameless promises to Miss Scarpet.
But not only did he promise it, but he also realized it step by step.
Now, he decided to do another big thing.
But at this moment, it is just the beginning. After Fang Yu figured this out, he turned around and said in that direction: "Mr. Gray Whistle, you and your 'redeemed' came to this place not just to sell us. Is it just a favor?"
Blackbo quickly walked up, shaking his head and saying: "Mr. Ed, that is not my 'redeemed', I am just one of them."
"That's not important." Fang Yu didn't care about the origin of the 'redeemed' for the time being. He just looked at the other party and said, "I have an idea, which I guess may coincide with the purpose of your trip. "
Blackbo was slightly startled: "Mr. Ed, please tell me."
"Although the Temple claims to protect the North, there are obviously some people who do not seem to be under the protection of the Temple. I think everyone has an equal right to live. Since the Crow's Claw Temple is unwilling to give those people, I’ll give you a chance, but you can definitely seek an opportunity on your own, right?”
The other party completely stayed where he was.
Fang Plover raised his head, looked into the distance, and said softly: "The temple occupies the vast northern territory, but the refugees also need a home of their own, so I think it is somewhat inappropriate for the Crow's Claw Temple to continue to stay here. ”
At this time, not only Blackbo, but also Parker and Jita opened their mouths. Luo Hao almost thought that he heard wrongly and couldn't help but pick out his ears.
Because such words are almost equivalent to openly admitting rebellion and breaking with the Kingdom of Kaulin-Ithurion.
Because everyone knows that the Crow's Claw Temple is recognized by the Kingdom - is such behavior possible to be recognized by Stargate Port? Even Alyssa stared at her leader with wide eyes, but she suddenly realized an almost absurd possibility in her heart.
Wait, although everyone subconsciously thinks that the Crow Claw Temple is recognized by the kingdom, because Elpaxin's silence at this time is actually a statement in itself. Not to mention, even the two major guild alliances and the Alliance themselves did not stand up to oppose it.
But it seems that no one or any official force has come forward to admit that the rule of the Crow Claw Temple in the North must be legal?
