Chapter Seventy-Six: A Pursuit
"There's a closed inn behind the street, and they're going to take Miss Fiose to that place." Fang Yu whispered.
Sylvid's eyes reflected a picture of Duren in winter and pedestrians on the street, three or four members of the Shadow Throne leaning in this direction from the crowd.
She remained silent, backhanding her behind her, where under the hem of her skirt was one of the handcuffs that Silk Capet had given them both. She looked at those people, smiled slightly, didn't look back, and asked in a narrow tone: "Is the captain planning to be a hero to save the United States?" ”
Fang Yu hurriedly explained: "Miss Sylvide, this is ......"
"Come here, Captain—"
"But it doesn't look like they're going to let us go easily." Sylvide replied with a smile.
Fang Yu reacted at this time, glanced at those people, and hurriedly spoke: "I found another way to the inn, but I can't let those people follow us, we have to find a way to create a riot......" He looked left and right, and his eyes stopped on a table full of colored balls. "Miss Sylvide, over there!"
Although Sylvid said that, his eyes still followed Fang Yuan's voice, and the two of them seemed to have a heart and found the same goal for the first time. She turned sideways, flicked the hem of her skirt, pulled out her short hammer, avoided the crowd, pulled the silver hammer, and fired in that direction.
The crisp sound of gunfire drowned out all the sounds on the long street.
A flash of fire struck the colored balls on the table, and with a soft sound, the colored balls flew up like an exploding fireworks. The crowd didn't realize what was happening at first, but after the scene stopped, the women let out a burst of screams, and the men reacted quickly, immediately covering their female dependents and running to the side of the street.
The crowd moved, and the shrill whistle of the city guards sounded in the distance, and a group of city guard soldiers rushed in from not far away, further aggravating the chaos in the streets.
The panicked crowd formed a flowing river that swept the members of the Shadow Throne within, and although they were aware of what was happening, they were still unable to move an inch, and were carried away in one direction.
Fang Yu glanced at it, only silently pulled up the hood, grabbed Sylvid's hand, and disappeared into the nearby alley in a flash.
As soon as she entered the alley, the ship's officer, while cleaning the chamber and loading the bullets, asked, "In what direction is that road?" Fang Yu turned the camera. Through the view of the clockwork elf, he saw that Fios's captors were heading straight north along a path.
Just to the east of the trail, a zigzag stepped path met it, and they could stop the men by getting to the fork in the road first.
"Over here, follow me." Fang Yu said a word and immediately walked forward.
The two of them walked through the winding alley, and a locked iron gate appeared in front of them. Sylvid subconsciously raised her gun, but Fang Yu stopped her, summoned the Angel of Energy, and slashed it at the lock, and the iron gate opened.
The two pushed the door in, and behind them was a courtyard, and a woman was walking out with a laundry tub. She screamed in fright when she saw the two of them, and the basin in her hand also rolled to the ground, and her clothes spilled on the ground.
Fang Yu hurriedly raised his hand to signal that he was harmless, and asked, "We are not bad people, we are just chasing a group of villains, may I ask where is the exit?" ”
The woman stammered and could not say a word for a long time.
In the end, it was Sylvid who stepped out, and Wen Yan comforted the other party, and the woman hurriedly turned around and pointed in one direction.
And this delay, when the two of them crossed the courtyard and entered the zigzag staircase, Fang Yu found through the vision of the clockwork fairy that they were already quite far behind—the other party had entered the alley one step ahead of them, and the straight line was shorter than their journey, and this time it was a big step ahead.
In the field of vision, the other party was slowly approaching the intersection before he turned around and said to Sylvid, "Hold me." ”
Sylvid was slightly stunned, and looked at him with a little curiosity, but seeing that his captain was looking serious, he didn't think too much, and only leaned in obediently, curling his head against the other's back.
Miss Ship's arms were a little soft, but Fang Yu didn't have time to think in his heart, he only put his hand on the Angel of Energy, and said in a low voice:
"Flicker—"
Like a silver light, it fell into the zigzag staircase.
After three flashes in a row, as soon as the Angel of Energy landed, Fang Yu found that he was a step too late, and only collided with the group at the fork. The other party saw someone appear, and there were some surprises, and Fios, who was holding it hostage in their hands, also noticed the movement behind him, and glanced back, just in time to see him and Sylvid.
The girl froze for a moment, her eyes showed an incredible look, and she opened her mouth to shout. But one of them grabbed her mouth first, forcing her to turn away. The man held Fios hostage, and then turned back and glanced coldly at Fang Yu and Sylvid.
Apparently recognized both of them.
"Don't be nosy."
"You got into trouble first."
Fang Yu pretended not to know Fios.
"Damn, retarded!" The man impatiently turned back and gestured to his own.
There were seven of them, and when they saw this person's gesture, they immediately separated three people to stop them.
One of the three was a sorcerer, and he raised his staff and chanted a spell behind the other two.
But a gunshot rang out—
The sorcerer didn't react at all, and fell down after a flash of shield.
Fang Yu turned around, only to find that Sylvede's silver handcuff was curling with smoke from the muzzle, and it turned out that Miss Ship Officer had already raised her hand and pulled out her gun, and preemptively shot down the other party.
She had learned her marksmanship from her father's old sailors, who had fought on the sea for many years, and her marksmanship was incomparably more accurate, and she was better than the old sailors.
"They're not of a high rank." Sylvede reminded him.
Although the mage is fragile, the aether shield is constant, and being able to be killed by her with one shot can only mean that the opponent's level is not as good as theirs.
Although the Shadow Throne is not a big guild, the level of ordinary members is not like this, Fang Yu saw these people, and a word flashed in his heart - temporary worker. I'm afraid these people are the outer members of the Shadow Throne, who have come out to do dirty work.
In fact, every guild has such people, even Silver Vislan is no exception.
In the event of an accident, the Grand Guild can easily dissociate itself from these people, and after these people receive a compensation, they can go to other guilds to continue similar work until Starlight runs out.
Although it may sound despicable, it is indeed a way for the low-level electors to survive.
However, for Fang Yuan, the sentence 'They are not of high rank. Actually, that's enough.
He has released the Angel of Energy.
The two of them hadn't recognized what it was, but they had taken the lead in identifying Fang Yuan's identity.
"Combat Artisan!?"
Before the words fell, the two of them had already screamed and covered their eyes and bent down.
A wasp-shaped structure swept over the two of them, and the flashbang dropped instantly blinded them, and Fang Plover and Sylvid turned around at the same time, he raised his right hand, and the angel stepped forward and struck the head with a sword.
Two large skulls tumbled down the steps, spilling blood.
White light rose in dots, but Fang Yu didn't look at it, and took Sylvid past the corpses of the three. "A moment late." Fang Yu looked up and saw the back of Fios, who disappeared into the alley, and couldn't help but shake his head.
Or a little later.
There's only one inn down there.
He pulled down his goggles and glanced at them, only to find that the other party had not changed his direction, and was still heading in the direction of the inn—he did not know what was in the inn that attracted these people.
But that's good news—
He looked left and right, it was too late to make a detour, and he might not be able to catch up with the other side head-on—because the Angel of Energy could not flicker in an obstructive situation, and the alley greatly limited its play.
There is only one route at the moment.
He looked up at the rooftops around him, the alleys zigzagged, but walking on them was a shortcut. But if you go this way, you won't be able to take Sylvid with you.
He turned around and said, "Miss Sylvide, you stay here and wait for me." ”
Sylvid nodded undisapprovingly.
"I will leave the Angel of Energy to protect you."
"No, you don't."
"I've got the final say this time." Fang Yu interrupted her.
Sylvid was slightly stunned, looked at the serious look on his face, and couldn't help but smile lightly, and then nodded a little reassuringly.
Fang Yu took a breath, and then shot his claws at a nearby tower—and a few streets away, the sharp whistles were coming and going, and the city guards were obviously dispatched—he climbed up to the roof and looked back, only to realize that there were a few more small black dots in the sky.
Pterodactyl Knight, Fang Yu was startled, he didn't expect such a big commotion all of a sudden.
He even has the heart to kill those people in his heart, although these 'temporary workers' of the Shadow Throne are also rats crossing the street, his identity is also not visible, and the matter of Castle Turge is not over yet.
Knowing that he had to make a quick decision, he calculated a reasonable route through the vision of the clockwork elf and found the roof above his path, and then fired his claws in succession, speeding down the alley like a flea.
However, his actions in front of the crowd in the high place obviously caused an exclamation, but fortunately, there were not many people in the vicinity, and they were basically aboriginal residential areas, attracting only groups of locals.
Otherwise, it will definitely be the next community video theme.
In the courtyard not far away, the woman had just picked up the clothes on the ground in despair, and when she looked up and saw this scene, she couldn't help but open her mouth wide.
O saints!
She thought to herself, what the hell is going on today?
Odin was walking out of the reception room when he saw a guild official hurrying up to him and said, "Something is wrong outside!" "What's going on?" Odin asked. "Looks like someone from the Shadow Throne made it."
Odin paused for a moment, remembering the scene he had seen before, and couldn't help frowning. He changed rooms, led by the official, pushed open the door, and went out onto the terrace to take a look.
The natives below the terrace were gathering and gesturing at the square plovers leaping on the rooftops a few blocks away, and Odin followed the gestures of the people and looked up, stunned.
The two intertwined threads, leading the young man's leaping figure over the roof, almost immediately overlapped with another shadow in his mind. It's just that compared to being in Fenris's underground, the other party is obviously much more technologically mature.
The forward movement is also faster and smoother –
The warrior, one of the Ten Kings, almost took a moment to react to what he saw. "The city guards are here, President, shall we take a hand?" The officer was asking from behind, but Odin didn't look back, jumped straight from the terrace and flew out.
And at the same moment.
Fang Plover shot its claws one last time and came above the heads of the hijackers.
The latter had obviously already discovered Fang Yuan, and couldn't help but exclaim: "He's here!" "Anyone who sees someone in this way will be amazed, using two flying claws to shuttle back and forth on the roof, this scene is too much for them to imagine.
After all, this is not in the second world, where are there so many fancy operations-
And these people have obviously learned from the companions who hung up in front of them that the other party is not easy to deal with, and the previous psychological advantage is now gone.
Seeing that the other party caught up in an unbelievable way, these people couldn't help but collapse a little, and one of them couldn't stand the condescending pressure, turned around and grabbed the axe and shouted: "After I come to break it, you go first." ”
It sounds a bit decisive, but it doesn't help.
Fang Yu was jumping off the roof, and without even looking at the man, he swept over his head. The man paused for a moment before he reacted, turned around, and only saw Fang Yu throwing something at him with his backhand.
As soon as the thing landed at his feet, it immediately unfolded, and he felt only a weight in his body, and he could not move an inch.
Gravity traps.
The man was taken aback and subconsciously wanted to break free, but as soon as he looked up, he found that not far away the prescription plover had landed on the ground, pulled out a silver gorgeous handcuff, and without looking back, he shot backhanded.
The muzzle of the black hole pointed directly at the center of his eyebrows, the distance was only five meters, and under the gravity, the warrior seemed to be immobilized. His eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and then his whole head exploded like a watermelon, and blood was pouring out.
Fang Yu shook his hand, and the gravity trap was lifted, and the headless corpse staggered to its knees, turning into a white light.
The inn called 'Miranda's Rest' is not far away.
His attack frightened the remaining three, and they hurriedly rushed into the inn with Fioss in their hands and closed the door. When Fang Yu rushed over, he was only one step too late, and the open door had already slammed in front of him.
Fang Yu took a step back and raised his head to look at the gate.
He even heard a panicked voice coming from inside:
"Go block the windows!"
"Take her to find it!"
Fang Yu glanced at the window not far away and shook his head. With just one gesture of his hand, a huge blue door of light fell from the sky, and a colossus fell to the ground with a roaring sound, and the ground trembled.
The sound behind the gate stopped, as if he felt something, but Fang Yu had already raised his right hand, and the metal glove swiped downward. The giant Iron Knight, Orphen's twin star, slammed into the gate with a loud bang, and the open gate flew out along with half of the wall, collapsing a large hole in the wall.
There was smoke and dust in the back.
The remaining two were stupid.
Fang Yu didn't see the third person, and he didn't know if he had blocked the window or was buried.
The man who took the lead was the first to react, subconsciously raised the dagger on Fios's neck in his hand, and shouted, "Don't come here-" But there was a 'bang' gunshot, and before the man could finish his cruel words, there was an extra bullet hole in the center of his eyebrows.
He was stunned for a moment before falling on his back.
Fang Yu replied, "I'm not coming—" and then pointed his gun at another person.
There were two bullets in his gun, which were actually empty at the moment, but this action still frightened the man to scream, and suddenly turned into a cloud of black smoke and jumped out of the back room.
Not even Fiose cared about it.
Fang Yu froze for a moment, he didn't expect that the other party was a shadow dancer, and he couldn't catch up with him now, but fortunately, it wasn't his goal.
He put down the muzzle of the gun that was curling with smoke, walked into the ruined house, looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no more threat, he said to the maid who was looking at him in surprise, "Miss Fios, are you alright?" ”
Fioss looked at him and the tall costumed knight behind him with some curiosity rather than in horror, and she asked, "Are you......?" Are you the ......? ”
"My name is Ed," Fang Yu replied, "You helped us before, you should remember us, right?" ”
Fioss nodded.
But then she shook her head again: "I...... I just didn't expect you guys to be so good, Mr. Ed is a combat craftsman? ”
Fang Plover bowed his head.
He then looked at the place and asked, "Miss Fios, how could the people of the Shadow Throne kidnap you?" ”
Fioss breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head, "It's none of your business, Mr. Eddard...... Thank you for saving me, but I don't want to get you involved in this, you don't think you saw it......"
Fang Yu paused for a moment.
Seeing that he still wanted to ask something, Fios hurriedly spoke, "...... Can you do me a favor one more time, Mr. Eddard? ”
Without waiting for him to ask, Fios added, "I'm going to get something, and I need someone to help me." ”
"Is it what those people are looking for?"
The maid was silent, but nodded her head.
"That thing is in the attic." She replied.
Fang Yu only then had time to look at this place - in his previous hurry, the front wall of the inn was smashed by him, but the furnishings inside were not messy and old as expected, as if it was a hostel that the owner had just left not long ago.
The hall was full of all kinds of objects, and away from the door, there was not much dust on the cabinets and tabletops, and the cleaned cups were still side by side on the counter, and an open account book seemed to be only half recorded.
He deliberately glanced at the time.
Stay about half a month ago.
Fang Yu couldn't help but raise his head and glanced at the signboard shaking in the cold wind outside the inn.
