Farewell
When Darko returned to the city of St. Yale, he found that the "chaos" and "chaos" caused by the attack in the city had subsided, and only some city guards were left busy. Darko sighed lightly and walked back down a shopping street towards Tree Fort, and he saw that the streets that had been bustling with each other were now depressed, and his heart was full of 'mixed feelings'.
Darko involuntarily quickened his pace and hurried back to the tree castle as fast as he could, and when he saw Phyllis looking around on the tree castle from a distance, he let out a long sigh of relief. Feeling the joy of seeing Phyllis again in peace, he eagerly waved his hands and ran in the direction of Tree Castle, while shouting, "I'm back!"
Phyllis saw Darko from afar, and a gleam suddenly flashed in her eyes, regardless of how bad her qi talent was, she cast a feather fall spell for herself with a jerky spell, and then jumped towards Darko.
Startled, Darko rushed over as fast as he could, hugging his master tightly before he hit the ground. The two of them fell to the ground together, but Phyllis didn't care at all, and hugged Darko in an emotional 'agitation' and said, "Darko! You're not dead! What happened to the thunderstorm before? We rushed over after coming out of the Peerless Confinement, but the Alchemy Guild was already in a mess, and I finally found a big bird and wanted to fly over to find you." Otto caught up with me and said that you had solved the trouble, and I was afraid that we would go wrong, so let me go back to the tree castle and wait for you. ”
Darko hugged Phyllis's soft body, and his heart was relieved, and he was overmoved to learn that Phyllis had been worried about him. At this time, the others also walked out of the tree castle one after another, and they were all relieved to see that Darko was indeed fine.
"I knew Dakko was going to be fine, he had been on the Mercury plane for a whole year, but he had escaped. Leah said it lightly, but in fact she breathed a sigh of relief.
Otto said to Darko again, "We were all worried about you, and we were about to disperse to find you, but we didn't expect the magic communication to be contacted." ”
"Whew. Asiba thumped his chest and screamed.
Darko put Phyllis down and saw that several people were there, but Wendy was not the only one. His brow furrowed, "Wendy really hasn't been able to come back?
After several people learned that Daktronics was safe, they all sighed and began to tell about the situation at that time. From Wendy and Darko being chased away, to the location of the Dead Relics being revealed, to Maxi and Android dying tragically. For a while, Darko was also stunned and speechless for a long time. Kevin, on the other side, was silent, clutching the ring on his hand tightly. Android, who was originally an opponent, had died, which made several people very emotional.
Kevin's brow furrowed tightly, and although he didn't say anything, everyone could feel the deep sadness in his heart. Darko didn't say anything, silently walked up to Kevin, and patted him lightly on the shoulder, which was a silent comfort.
Entering the tree fort, the six people sat on the stump in the living room, all somewhat silent. Normally there were seven of them, but now Wendy is being hunted down by one of the Tempest Church's archmages, and although there is only one person missing, they all feel like they are a lot empty.
In fact, the tree castle is just a temporary residence for them to participate in the Alchemy Grand Prix, everyone has their own space accessories or space equipment, and valuables are carried with them. But when they returned to Tree Fort after the game, they realized that it was no longer useful to them.
Darko remembered the shocking changes at the Alchemy Grand Prix, and said with palpitations, "I didn't expect the Vitamin Guild to have a hard time at the award ceremony, affected by this incident, the alchemy trade may be 'affected', I don't know if it will cause the Alchemy Guild to be hit hard." ”
Phyllis shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be a heavy blow, as long as most of the alchemy trade is still monopolized by the Alchemy Guild, and the plane that produces raw materials is still under the control of the guild, they haven't broken their muscles and bones, and they should be able to grow again." ”
Otto also agreed, "As long as the framework and behavioral philosophy of an organization are still there, let alone the death of a president, even if all the top management is dead, it can also make a comeback." ”
Kevin nodded silently, clearly agreeing with that sentiment as well. An organization does not rely on many people to be strong, but they have their own ideas of behavior, which can be passed on and carried forward. Vitamins in history are the most typical examples, even if the vitamin himself has fallen, the guild he created has survived. As long as an organization's values can be widely recognized, even if no one is left behind, it can still develop again after a period of time.
At this time, Phyllis's spatial ring emitted a magical 'wave', and she took out the crystal ball from the spatial ring, and a figure appeared inside after connecting the screen. A few people hurriedly looked and realized that it was Walker's communication, and after only a few hours he looked like he was ten years older.
Phyllis exclaimed worriedly, "Elder Walker. ”
"I'm fine. Walker waved his hand, looked around at the faces of the five people, and then stopped his gaze on Kevin, "Little Costner, people can't be resurrected from death, let's mourn and change." ”
Kevin didn't show sadness, just nodded silently, and responded, "I should apologize to the Alchemy Guild on behalf of my brother, it seems that President Maxi's intention before should be to treat that coordinate as a collection, no matter who pressures it, it can't be 'manipulated' in violation of the law, but my brother has made it public." ”
"Anthony has received the collection as a new high-ranking person, and it is his own right to do with it, and it is not against President Maxi's wishes, and you don't have to apologize for him. Walker sighed deeply, "Maxi and Android, both of them did nothing wrong, they both did what they thought was right for the Alchemy Guild." For the sake of their own ideas, they even did not hesitate to gamble with their lives, and if such a person still exists, the Alchemy Guild will never decay. ”
Kevin's eyes flashed, and he nodded heavily. He had grown up in the city of St. Yale, and had a home-like affection for it, and if it hadn't happened at that time, he would have thought that he would join the Alchemy Guild as a jeweler, just like his father. Although he didn't follow this path in the end, Kevin's sense of belonging to the Alchemy Guild was still the strongest, even more than that of the San Diego School of Magic, and he certainly didn't want the Alchemy Guild to suffer a disaster.
Walker looked at Phyllis again, "You can go to the Venus plane as soon as you get ready, the coordinates are our guild's, and the things in the dead ruins should naturally have our share." ”
Phyllis naturally agrees with this point of view, the laws attached to the god of death are the most effective for necromancers, she often regrets not being born before the fall of the god of death, and now that she has the opportunity to explore the relics of death, she certainly does not want to miss it. If other families may look ahead, but for the Nike Rei 'Mones' family, this is an opportunity for them to grow, how can they let it go?
"You should set off as soon as possible, there are limited ships on the island near the space church branch over there, so you can seize the opportunity to buy a good ship by going there first, so that you can get to the island where the death relics are located early, and you can be regarded as having the first hand." ”
After a few more instructions, Walker ended the communication. Putting away the crystal ball, Phyllis exclaimed excitedly, "Hey, are you interested in exploring the Venus plane together? I only went with George once when I was very young, and it was fun to ride a boat!"
"I'm turning 18 next month, and I'm going back to my family for a coming-of-age ceremony, and I can't play with you anymore. At this time, Liya looked around at a few people, and said with some reluctance, "It's better to leave it here, and if you have any difficulties in the future, you can contact through the Leaf of the Tree of Life, and I will definitely try my best to help." ”
Phyllis walked over first and hugged Leah tightly, "It's a pity, I thought we could continue to play together for a few more years." ”
Liya smiled bitterly, "My family is different from yours, I was supposed to have a coming-of-age ceremony at the age of 14, and I have been making all kinds of excuses to delay it until now, but after this Alchemy Grand Prix, there is no reason to continue to drag it out." ”
Darko was a little strange, he rarely saw Phyllis so solemn and serious, it felt like a life and death with Leah. This was because he didn't understand the meaning of the rite of passage in the extended family, and it wasn't until two years later that he really understood the meaning.
Asiba roared from the sidelines, and Kwon said goodbye. Among these people, the one who has the best relationship with Asiba except Darko is Leah, who treats his injuries, and even Otto can't do it.
Darko also walked over, "Liya, you are a very powerful herb 'herb' master, if it weren't for you, our team would not have been able to win the championship." ”
Leah looked at Darko and smiled, "Every member of the team is an indispensable part, and being able to win the championship as a member of the Darko team before I become an adult is the one thing I can boast about so far." ”
Otto, on the other hand, looked at Leah and said sincerely, "I'll never forget this place, the Giant Tree Hell." ”
At this point, several people smiled, remembering the situation when Otto had just woken up. Otto's injuries were all treated by Leah, and he was naturally very grateful to Leah, but with their current relationship, saying words of thanks would be different, and it was just right for Otto to to bring it up as a joke.
Only Kevin's heart was still heavy, and he barely managed to squeeze out a smile and nodded at Leah. Leah also smiled back, but with an apologetic look in her smile. Among the major church coalitions that attacked the Colosseum, the Life Church also occupied a part, and it was precisely because of the church's instructions that Leah needed to immediately separate from Darko and others and go back to join them. The attack at the awards ceremony was kept a secret from the churches, and Leah didn't know about it, but even then she was very sorry for Kevin.
It was Darko who interrupted the sad atmosphere, "When we formed a group to participate in the Alchemy Grand Prix, we signed a contract in the Tree Castle, and it starts here and ends here." ”
Several people finally looked at the tree fort, changed their gaze, nodded at the same time, slowly stood up, and walked out of the tree fort where they had lived for more than half a year.
Dakko is naturally the only one who looks ahead, and Aciba is already ready to 'mix' with Dako, so they are all walking together. Phyllis looked at Otto and Kevin with an inquiring gaze, asking them about their intentions.
Otto's eyes showed a look of receiving, "I can be your guide, I came out of the Venus plane, I have been away for a year, and I should go back to see." ”
Kevin was silent for a long time, stroked the holy ring on his hand and whispered, "I want to know what kind of place my brother is leading to." ”
At this time, it was getting late, but several people had urgent matters to deal with, and they could only travel under the stars. Several people marched forward in a group and came to the teleportation array of St. Yale, and Darko and the others all gave each other a courtesy 'sex' hug as a final goodbye. Leah looked at a few people, her eyes moistened a little, and she took a few steps back into the teleportation array. With a wave of space, the figure has disappeared.
"Alright, let's set off to explore the Death Ruins of the Venus Plane!" Phyllis's cheerful cry sounded, startling several people who were in the midst of parting, only to see that Phyllis had already taken the lead in running towards the teleportation array to St. Goode, Dacko and the other four people glanced at each other and hurriedly ran over.
The five of them teleported directly through the teleportation array to St. Banchen, the headquarters of the War Church. Affected by the relationship and distance between the major forces, St. Yale did not have direct access to St. Croix's teleportation array of the Space Church, and needed to pass through St. Banchen of the War Church and St. Goode under the Magic Guild in order to finally reach St. Banchen.
As soon as they teleported to St. Banchen, Darko and the other five people walked directly to another teleportation array next to them according to the instructions, ready to pay for the teleportation to continue. But Otto, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and Phyllis was talking to Darko in the back, causing Phyllis to hit Otto headbutt.
"Otto, why did you stop suddenly? I don't know there's anyone behind you?" Phyllis cried out in annoyance, but she immediately noticed that several of the others were also looking in the direction of the square, so she turned her head curiously, and then wondered, "Huh, is the War Church on a military parade, and why are you organizing so many knights to line up here?"
St. Banchen's square was a square open space two hundred meters long and wide, no smaller than the central square of St. Yale, but now a corner of the square had been occupied by a group of knights. These knights are all uniformly equipped, and together with the horses under their crotches, they are also covered with silver 'color' light armor, which is all 'fine' level equipment. What's even more shocking is their formation, a squad of more than 100 knights lined up quietly, unexpectedly neatly motionless, so that people can calculate their number by multiplication at a glance.
The silver-armored knights were still running from the road on the side of the square, and merged into the queue, and the whole process was not 'chaotic' or 'chaotic' at all, as if those horses were alchemy machines. Darko looked closely and saw that the silver-armored knights had the same mark on their chests. It was an icon of a knight with a horse standing up, and the knight above him was stabbing his spear out. Darko was taken aback and blurted out, "Punishment knight bloodline, Cappadocia family!"
Kevin also frowned and said, "Indeed, this is not the knight of the War Church, but the Cappadocia family. Their family's location is the closest to St. Banchen, so they naturally have to teleport through here, but why do they want such a large teleportation force?"
Darko and the others glanced at each other, and they all saw the solemnity in their respective eyes. As soon as the news of the Dead Ruins was announced, the Cappadocia family sent troops on a large scale, and needless to say, these knights were naturally ready to send them to the Dead Ruins for an expedition.
Darko asked, confused, "Does the Cappadocia family also have any intentions for the Death Relic?"
"It's about the Godhead, but all the big families will be interested, as long as they can capture the Godhead, maybe a new god will appear in the family in a few hundred years. "Phyllis is in the Nike Rei 'Mones' family, so she naturally understands the behavior of the big family, "On the contrary, the major churches and the families of the blood of the gods are exceptions, except for the three churches that overlap with the priesthood of the god of death, the godhead of death obtained by the other gods is useless, and naturally they will not send troops to take risks." ”
Hearing this, several people suddenly realized that the families of the Holy Beast bloodline and the legendary bloodline did not have the protection and restraint of the gods, and could act freely. And if anyone in those churches wants to take the Godhead, it is suspected of betraying the faith, and the gods will never allow it. Even if believers just want to find other treasures, the churches will not agree just in case. Therefore, this time, the participants should include the three legendary bloodline families, the four holy beast bloodline families, and the corresponding three major churches.
Kevin frowned and said, "I didn't expect them to move so fast, and they have already gathered the knights." ”
"That's a godhead, this kind of 'temptation' and 'confusion' is difficult for the big family to refuse. Phyllis explained first, and then nunu disdainfully at the team of knights, "No matter how good the equipment of those knights who are not more than high-level, they will just be a group of cannon fodder at that time, and the exploration of ruins is not a battlefield battle, and the knights of the Cappadocia family are really full of muscle and flesh in their heads." ”
"The news seems to be getting faster than expected, and we need to speed up. "The five of them paid in turn to enter the teleportation array to St. Croix, and disappeared in a wave of spatial 'waves'.
