Outside the window, the sound of footsteps stepping on snow was fading away.

Fang Yuan's gaze looked through the glass, a thin layer of frost hung on it, foggy, and the white gas in his mouth hit the glass, and it was even more a flower. He had to wipe it with his hand and tilt his head to look outside.

After a while, he retracted his gaze and turned around—the room behind him was dark and dreary, and the dust should be a shop that had been closed for a long time, and the shelves on the four walls were empty, and he didn't know what it was supposed to do.

"They're gone." He looked at the other two and whispered.

The three of them were a little quiet for a moment.

Fang Yu couldn't help but let out a sigh: "I'm afraid there will be more people at the South City Gate, and there were really people following us before-" Fang Yu looked at Ainan on the side: "It's good that we listened to you, otherwise it would be dangerous now." ”

"We're just in the same boat," Enan also breathed a sigh of relief: "It's just that there are people everywhere outside, is there anything Mr. Captain can do?" ”

"Just call me Eddard."

Fang Plover turned around and asked Sylvid, "Do you have a map?" ”

Miss Ship Officer looked at him and nodded, took out a copper tube from the storage box under the magic furnace, unscrewed the lid, pulled out a roll of maps from it, and spread it out on the ground.

It was a map they had bought from the Brotherhood before, originally to find someone, but they didn't expect it to come in handy at this moment.

Fang Yu took out a lighting crystal and bit it in his mouth, and then motioned for the two of them to lean over with his hand. As soon as the three of them gathered, he untied the cloak, lit the crystal underneath, illuminated the map, pointed to a place on it with his hand and said to the two, "We are in this position." ”

"The sluice gates are here." Enan looked at the map and immediately added. He drew a line on the map, "It's about three blocks from here to there. ”

"It's not too far." Hearing this, Fang Yu asked, "What is the situation in that place?" ”

Enan thought for a moment before replying, "There is a small wasteland near the sluice, and there should be woods and bushes by the river, but I can't say what it will be like in winter." ”

"If the smugglers can pass through this route, we don't think it's a big problem."

Fang Yu replied, and took out another clockwork goblin—but hesitated for a moment, and then took it back.

The previous situation reminded him that the clockwork fairy is a guarantee of vision on the one hand, but on the other hand, it may also become a hidden danger.

The clockwork goblins that were still in the sky, he didn't dare to take them back, so as not to attract attention, and only used them to fly in another direction to attract the attention of the other party. But if he released the clockwork goblin again, he was also worried that his place would be discovered.

"In any case, we only have this way to go now." He thought for a moment, and then said, "The patrol has passed, and the street outside should still be safe—"

The crystal light went out, and the room was dark again.

Fang Yu lifted his cloak, raised his head, and looked out through the window by the faint light from the street.

He turned back to the two of them and said, "But the search range of the city guards has already crossed us, and there will definitely be a cordon on the periphery. Although their center of gravity may be in the direction of the south gate, it is easy for us to react once we find it. ”

"Don't have much time left for us?" Enan asked in a whisper.

Fang Yu nodded: "But I have an idea, let them be wrong," he fumbled on the map to draw a line, the paper of the map rustling in the dark, "I'll distract them from thinking that we are still heading for the South Gate." ”

He looked at the ship's officer, "Sylvide, you sneak quietly from the other way to the sluice gate with Mr. Enan. ”

"It's too dangerous, Mr. Eddard." Enan hesitated, then changed his mind and stopped calling him Captain.

But Fang Yu shook his head, "I am the Elector, even if I miss, they will not leave me in the city, and there is a chance to leave the city." He looked at the other two: "But you are different, whether it is Sylvid or Mr. Enan, once the identity of the city guards is detected, it will be difficult to get out - there is no resurrection temple in the suburbs outside the city, and once resurrected, it can only be ...... inside the city."

He didn't continue, but the two understood what he meant.

Fang Yu suddenly felt someone gently holding his hand in the darkness, and when he turned his head, he saw Sylvide's bright gaze and felt the tenderness in his hand.

Enan didn't notice the private movements of the two, but he still glanced at Sylvid, as if asking for the other's opinion.

In the darkness, Miss Purser nodded slightly.

"A quarter of an hour," said Fang Yuan, "I don't come for a quarter of an hour, so you will leave first." ”

But he didn't tell his ship's officer, and he only had two chances to be resurrected. Miss Ship Officer had deceived him several times before, and Fang Yu was still haunted in his heart - he couldn't help but smile secretly, thinking that this time everyone had finally settled down.

But Sylvid seemed to see his thoughts, and she hugged him gently. "Be careful." She put her arms around his neck, bit his ear, and exhaled like a landy.

Then, after the three of them had planned, they went their separate ways.

Before leaving, the ship's master lady looked at him deeply before turning around.

Fang Yu watched the backs of the two slowly disappear into the darkness, and he actually felt a little empty in his heart.

At that moment, he was shocked to realize that in a silent manner, this noble daughter had occupied such an important position in his heart. Fang Yu took a breath, looked up at the dark sky, and gently pulled up the stand-up collar of the alchemist's coat.

The snow gradually fell in the middle of the night, and the snowflakes were fluttering.

Then Fang Yu turned around and walked to the other side of the street, one foot deep and one foot shallow.

……

On the other street, it was not much different from what he had expected.

At this moment, the street was already full of fire, people and figures were staggered, and in the distance were two or three checkpoints set up by the city guards.

Fang Yu hid in the shadows alone and observed for a moment, only to see that the other party was constantly sending patrol teams in all directions, and just as he expected, as the opponent's manpower increased, their chances would become less and less.

Even in this direction, you can imagine what the scene is like at the south gate.

Of course, he didn't plan to break through directly from the front, so he still dodged into an alley first and went around to the other side of the level. It's just that what worked before, but this time it ran into problems.

After crossing the alley, he encountered another patrol on the other side of the street. The other party should have just left the checkpoint and was walking towards the alley in his direction.

The situation was a bit tricky, but Fang Yu quickly calmed down.

Seeing that the other party was getting closer and closer, he knew that he could not wait any longer, so he gently pressed the black crystal on his chest with his hand, and the crystal shot out a ray of light in the darkness, and after the light page unfolded, it turned into a flexible structure on the ground.

It's a somewhat old-fashioned build.

It was the 'Mirrorer' he bought back from Golland, although he later made two of his own according to the map, but this one was still the original on the shelves at the time - according to the owner, it was an old stock of antiques from the Battle of Byrne.

Since he might not have had a chance to recycle this flexible structure later, he naturally chose the one in the worst condition. Although alchemists burn money, it is still a little bit to be able to save a little.

Fang Yu set up the structure and looked out, only to see that the team was not far from the alley. He retracted, thought for a moment, raised his right hand with a control glove, and pressed it slightly, and the sound of wind came from the street.

Hearing a crisp 'bang', the city guards turned around, only to see that the direction was empty—only the first floor of a nearby building, and a window had been smashed into a large hole by something.

Shards of glass scattered all over the ground, falling into the snow, reflecting in the light of the torches.

When the city guards saw this scene, they immediately reacted: "Be careful, the other side." Someone shouted.

At this time, Fang Yu had already left the position where the mirror image had been placed, and went around to hide in a corner not far away. He watched the city guard's reaction and shook his right hand slightly.

As soon as the city guards turned around, they saw two figures on the other side of the street, standing at the exit not far from the alley, but in a moment, the figures disappeared again.

"Who!"

"Stop!"

The city guards screamed and shouted after them.

Fang Yu looked at this scene, but frowned. Contrary to what he had imagined—not everyone in the city guard had leaned in—there were two men left on the street, pulling out the communication crystals, as if ready to inform the others.

"Bad luck—"

He didn't expect that he would miss this, but at this time, he could only rush forward. After all, the opportunity is fleeting, and once others react, the situation will be more dangerous than the current situation.

And the two city guards obviously didn't expect that there were still people hiding on the side, and when they saw Fang Yu rushing out violently, they couldn't help but be stunned. One of them was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground with the communication crystal in his hand.

Fang Yu was also indomitable at this time, and there was only one reckless word left in his mind.

Without thinking about it, a rocket flying punch hit one of them in the lower abdomen. He didn't kill him, but the city guard was still so painful that he bent down like a shrimp and couldn't get up again.

The other person seemed to have just reacted, and went to draw his sword in a panic, but because he was too nervous, he didn't pull it out several times for a while.

And after Fang Yuan's previous left-hand control glove was damaged, he was on the run all the way, and he didn't have a chance to repair, so naturally he couldn't send out a second rocket flying punch at this time. It's just that when he saw that the other party was in a hurry, his heart was down, so he simply bumped into it.

Although he is an alchemist with little strength, the other party is only a seventh- or eighth-level character - although it is a strength class, it has no advantage due to the level gap. Caught off guard, he actually hit him with a four-up and eight forks.

Both fell into the snow at once.

It's just that Fang Yu reacts quickly and runs when he gets up. The man tried to catch him with his backhand, but he caught a void - and it was at this moment that the city guards on the other side also discovered the mirror image hiding in the alley, although they didn't know what it was, but they also knew that they had been fooled.

One of them kicked over the body, heard the sound behind him, and couldn't help but look back, just in time to see Fang Yu knocking down his colleague and running away. He opened his mouth wide and shouted in that direction:

"There's someone over there!"

Only then did the city guards turn back.

Almost immediately, Fang Yu heard a gunshot behind him.

However, the local defenders of Kaulin-Ishurian naturally only have some mass-produced goods in their hands, and the accuracy of the tabula rasa musket in the hands of the seventh or eighth level characters can be imagined from two or three hundred feet away.

A projectile flew by, and Fang Yu was like the protagonist in the story, only to see pillars of snow rising around him, but he just couldn't hit it. And more bullets, not even that far at all, a rain of bullets, only fell far behind it.

But where did Fang Yu know this?

When he heard the gunshots, he was so frightened that he rushed out forty or fifty meters in one breath before he flew into an alley. As soon as he melted into the darkness, he felt a little safe.

However, Fang Yu also knew in his heart that this was just an illusory sense of security—he had already attracted the attention of the city guards—and everyone's eyes would be focused on this direction next.

In fact, it was similar to what he imagined.

His appearance was like a splash of water splashing into a pot of hot oil, causing a boil.

At the same moment, the city guards in the nearby neighborhood received the news that the target had appeared and was breaking through in the direction of the south gate.

The consul who guarded near the south gate was not very good at military affairs, but as the head of a place, there were always capable people around him. Soon, the entire city guard formed a large net and surrounded it in the direction where Fang Yu might appear.

It's just that they didn't know it, and when they swore that the other party would appear near the south gate, Fang Yu quietly turned around and began to turn back to the route where the sluice gate was located.

But after all, in the streets and alleys, there are so many city guards who have gathered at this moment.

Just when Fang Yu was still silently calculating in his heart, there was still a distance of about one street in front of him. And at this moment, a squad of city guards suddenly came out of the alley.

Fang Yu looked up and saw that there were a total of eight people on the other side, which was the size of a standard squad-

In fact, because he was afraid of leading others in his direction, and because Fang Yu didn't dare to let the clockwork fairy give a warning above his head, when the two sides appeared, they obviously didn't expect to bump into each other head-on.

Both sides were taken aback.

Then the captain of the city guard over there immediately raised his hand, and let his soldiers half-crouch, four in front and three in the back, prop up their spears, and raise their muskets in their hands.

It's just that Fang Yuan's reaction was not slow, he looked up at the city guards, and saw that the exit of another street was in that direction, so his heart sank, and he pressed his hand on the storage crystal. The next moment, a dark blue wall of light suddenly appeared among everyone-

Those city guards subconsciously pulled the trigger, but the wall of light was turning into reality, condensing into a tall structure.

The huge knight, with a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, raised his shield and stood in front of the crowd. There was a burst of fire, and the bullets that came out of the chamber almost all hit the big shield, but I don't know what kind of metal the giant shield of the Orphin Twins is made of, and the bullets only left white marks on it.

It was only after a flash of fire and smoke that the city guards raised their heads and realized what they had hit.

The huge structure took a step forward under Fang Yuan's command and stomped heavily on the ground, almost shaking the alley. Only then did those city guard soldiers show panicked expressions, and subconsciously took two steps back.

Only the captain drew his sword, pressed his hand on the magic furnace behind him, and shouted, "Don't be afraid, follow me." ”

It was only Fang Yu who didn't bother to pay attention to these people, he ordered Orfen's twin star to hang the spear behind him with a click, then turned around and reached out to lift him up. Then he put his arm around him and stepped forward.

The loud rumbling sound and the indomitable huge structure made the morale of the city guard soldiers empty in an instant, and they dispersed in a hurry. Only the captain stepped forward alone, but to no avail, and was slapped away by the knight holding up a huge shield.

"Get out of here!"

Fang Yu roared angrily—he let the huge dreadnought alien grasp him and strode forward, and then suddenly, the huge structure leaped up with an arrow step, and flew over the low building in front of him.

At that moment, he only felt a strong wind in his face, and the object in front of him drew sharply, until Orffin's twin star fell to the ground with a thud.

This jump, of course, is also a last resort, due to the huge weight, the system responds to the structural value of the constructor has been a considerable loss. And he himself was not very comfortable, only to feel that all the internal organs seemed to be shaken away from their original positions. opened his mouth and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Fortunately, it wasn't that his internal organs were shattered, but because he was too close to the main core crystal of the construct, the magic erosion almost killed him. It's just that although this hand seems to be a bit of a pull, Fang Yu has made up his mind in his heart that he will not come back a second time.

Only then did he slip off the Construct Knight's hand, holding on to the huge Construct and gasping for breath for a while before he came back to his senses.

Fang Yu only had time to look left and right, but fortunately, there didn't seem to be any city guards on this last street. It seemed that his plan had worked, and everyone thought that they were heading in the direction of the south of the city, but they were not guarding in this direction.

However, in his current state, he could no longer continue to control the Orphen Twins, and in desperation, he could only put the latter away - although at the moment, this was his biggest reliance.

He took a deep breath before he walked forward with some vague steps, and there was no one around him in the snow, only his own rustling footsteps. And it wasn't until he walked to the corner of the street one foot deep and one foot shallow, that Fang Yu looked up and could vaguely see the city wall on the other side, and he was faintly relieved.

It's finally out—

He pulled out a resonance crystal and was about to contact one of the Type II clockwork elves left on Sylvede's side.

But it was at this time that Fang Yu froze.

He looked up, and with some uncertainty, he saw a slender figure appear at the exit of the alley in front of him.

The man's outfit was very simple, just a simple cloak and shawl, and the chain mail underneath didn't even seem to be magic armor. The other man had a large sword on his back, but the sword was unsheathed, and he was clutching something in his hand—the clockwork goblin he had used to pierce the window not long ago.

And the man was slowly pulling down the hood, and when Fang Yuan saw the smooth blonde hair and heavy gaze underneath, his blood almost clotted.

King of Warriors, Odin.

He did a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect that he would bump into such a great god.

Fang Yu couldn't dream of it, how could such a big guy as the other party, not presiding over the battle and fighting with Ye Hua, come to such a remote place to find trouble for himself? He almost thought he was dreaming, but slapped his face hard before he realized that everything was real.

Fang Yu didn't speak, took a step back and subconsciously wanted to escape—but only then did he realize how he could outrun Odin. But as soon as he gritted his teeth, he didn't want to give up even so, and when he raised his hand, he shot a rocket punch at the opponent.

But it turns out that what he thought was an opportunity was just what he thought.

In the face of a king-level Elector, his pediatric attack was a little too ridiculous, and the rocket flying fist was like crashing into a transparent wall before it could fly in front of Odin.

Fang Yu only knew that it was not a shield—and then the flying fist landed weakly on the ground.

Odin looked at the young man and was about to make a move, but when he saw this scene, he was slightly stunned. Then he stepped out, but when he took a step forward, Fang Yu saw a flower in front of him, and the next moment he saw that the other party had appeared in front of him.

He was taken aback and raised his hand to block, but Odin had already staggered past him.

At that moment, Fang Yu only felt a pain in the back of his head, and then everything fell into darkness-

……

Odin watched in silence as the boy fell limply to the ground, before he bent down and grabbed the other party, thought for a moment, and was about to take him away. It was just at this time that there was a sound of footsteps outside the alley.

A voice asked outside, "Mr. Odin, have you found those people?" ”

Odin was stunned for a moment, looked at the person in his hand, and was silent for only a moment before he spoke: "They are not here." ”

The footsteps outside did not dare to hesitate, and after thanking them, they left in a hurry. Odin, however, stood there for a moment, then changed his mind, dragged the plover to the side, unbuttoned his collar, and removed his cloak over the boy.

He looked around, straightened up, and walked out of the alley as if no one was around.

……
