"Brother Ed has been like this for hours."

Tianlan looked at Fang Yu lying on the bed, and couldn't help but ask a little worriedly.

There was silence in the cabin, the 'storm' of a few hours ago had long since passed, and it would have never happened had it not been for the blood and feathers that had remained on the deck. The dragon beast army eventually passed by Charter City and disappeared at the end of the horizon.

But the real storm that had been brewing for a long time in the north was imminent, and the sky was overcast, and the icy wind was blowing like a knife, mixed with a little snowflakes, and the cables on the deck were dangling and whirring.

But there was no sound in the room, and Miss Fairy was sitting very quietly on her pillow, looking up at them, and said, "Mr. Knight, he's fine. ”

Hearing this, Attila nodded slightly, turned around and said to the others, "Let Ed rest alone, and you all go back." ”

The others left one after another, and Sky Blue took Kita's hand, and Miss Naturalist walked out step by step.

"I'll stay and take care of my cousin." Tang Xin said.

Attila looked at Sylvid on the side, "You want to stay too?" ”

Sylvid nodded slightly.

Tang Xin glanced at her, with some inexplicable uneasiness in her heart, she bit her mouth without saying a word, and walked to the side of the bed to look at Fang Yu who seemed to be asleep.

……

Fang Yu blinked, looking at the scene around him with some surprise.

The remnants of the temple, the open square, and the glacial cliffs a few kilometers away, are surrounded by a warm courtyard - not far from the center of the square stands a sculpture, a stone statue of a girl with low eyebrows, surrounded by thorns and roses.

He had seen this place before, in Descartes' vision. And at this moment, as if he was still in that illusion, he couldn't help but look around, as if the square had just experienced a big battle, broken walls and ruins, deep scars.

The remains of some of the structures still remain in the square, emitting black smoke.

How did I come back to this illusion? Isn't it supposed to die with Descartes' return to the Aether?

Or is it a dream?

Fang Plover suddenly remembered what had happened, and it was as if he had entered a deeper dream after being struck by Lady Misu, or Nicol Bolas, with that golden flame. When I woke up from the nightmare, all I saw was everything in front of me.

But the scene in front of him is not quite consistent with his cognition, more like the situation after the war, is it possible that the world has not died after Descartes' return?

But that doesn't explain his dreams, how he came back here.

"By the way, how do you get out of this place?"

Fang Yu looked around, and he was the only one in the huge square. He tried to give himself two blows first, but there was no reaction other than a painful blow. This little test made him suspicious, it hurt so much even to hit him twice, could this place be real?

Once this thought was born, Fang Yuan suppressed the idea of jumping under the cliff. He tried to call out to Miss Tata, but nothing happened.

A faint heat suddenly came from the position of his chest.

Fang Yu was slightly stunned, lowered his head, and found that the heat was the pendant hanging there—in fact, it was the ring of golden flame tied to the rope. "Huh?" He sighed softly, didn't this thing have lost its power and completely turned into an ordinary ring?

I thought so, but Fang Yu still took it out. The ring, which should have completely lost its power, now emitted a faint light on his hand, and the light slowly flowed like golden lava along the ribbon-like texture of the ring.

Just as he had seen it for the first time.

Fang Plover was stunned, and suddenly the light became extremely bright, and formed a beam, which suddenly shot into the smoke and dust in front of him. Fang Ou suddenly looked up in that direction, only to see the light disappear at the end of the square, in the direction of the ruins of the temple—

……

When Fang Yu woke up slowly, he happened to see Tang Xin putting his cold hand on his forehead, looking at him with a little worry.

Sylvide sat quietly on the sidelines, watching the scene with an interested expression. The others had already left, and for a moment the only ones were left in the room.

He looked around slightly confused, his previous experience seemed to be a strange dream, and he subconsciously touched his chest, but there were no injuries, and the place where Nicol Bolas was hit in the dream was also good.

There was no discomfort on his body, but he was very energetic, as if he had been fully rested.

"Brother, you ...... Awake? ”

Tang Xin noticed her cousin's movements and hurriedly put her hand down.

But Fang Yu didn't answer immediately, but subconsciously stretched his hand above his chest and pulled out a pendant from there. The ring hanging from the rope was slowly flowing with golden light, just like in the dream.

The room seemed to have darkened all of a sudden, and the golden light reflected in the eyes of the three of them, Tang Xin's eyes showed a light of surprise, and he said in surprise: "This ring ......" Sylvid also stood up from his position and looked at him with an inquiring gaze.

Tang Xin finished speaking: "...... Isn't it supposed to have lost its power? ”

Fang Yu silently held the ring, which made the light in the room return to normal, he didn't say a word, but in his heart he remembered everything that happened not long ago......

……

Shortly after the light faded, he walked in that direction into the ice and mist.

Behind the ice fog was the ruins of the Temple, which he was no stranger to - it had been crushed to pieces during the Descensian Massacre, and the great battle that had taken place over the ruins.

It was only then that he did not have time to stop and take a closer look at the interior of the temple, and now for the first time he realized that its structure was quite elaborate, with a magnificent temple, towering columns, and a rubble-covered floor, and still beautiful patterns remaining.

Even if only one silhouette remains, one can imagine its former majesty, and I don't know who saw this temple - is it Deska? Fang Yu always felt that this was not the case, and the icon in the square outside was not the icon of Descartes.

Wait, what's that?

After passing through a broken wall, he suddenly stopped involuntarily. Fang Yu raised his head and looked ahead, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

That's the direction in which the light fades—

And behind the diffuse fog were two familiar, towering shadows.

Tall structures stood tall among the ruins, like two knights, one black and one white, one holding a spear and the other a sword. They were silent with each other, silent and stuck between the near-stagnant world.

It was as if they had been waiting here since Descartes left this world.

The dark knight's narrow crystal-shaped pupils suddenly lit up with a golden light, and he slowly looked in this direction.

"You'll probably never understand what you're up against, boy."

A thunderous voice rang out in the space, echoing, and that voice Fang Ou had heard many times. Cold, malevolent, but with a hint of banter, it was the voice of the Dragon Witch, or Nicol Bolas.

It was slowly speaking, "But I like to see you desperate, it's interesting. ”

"Nicol Bolas," Fang Yu said coldly, although he heard it in a fog, "don't make a fool of yourself here, you have long lost the power of the most primordial source, the golden dragon of the dragon - no, the queen of the dragon king's heart." Now you don't even have one-tenth of the strength of your heyday. ”

He noticed that Celestia's sword had fallen not far away, so he took two steps forward, picked up the sword, and pointed the tip of the sword at the other party.

Nicol Bolas sneered, "Put down the little toothpick in your hand, I'm not interested in dealing with you - although if I want to kill you, I don't even have to move my claws." ”

Fang was slightly stunned, and looked at the other party a little confused—in fact, he was looking at the tall pitch-black structure. But he thought for a moment, but still raised his right hand and replied, "That's not necessarily, don't forget that there is still the Radiance of the Sky to protect me." ”

"Hmph, lucky little one," Nicol Bolas replied, not rejecting this, "I admit that I miscalculated, I didn't expect that little girl to be able to hold herself up in the end, but you did me a favor by defeating the wanderers." ”

"That's not helping you."

"It doesn't matter, you think wanderers are your worst enemies?" Nicol Bolas chuckled meaningfully, "But as you may find out later, this may not be the case." ”

If it had been before, Fang Yu would have thought that this extremely evil dragon must be deceiving him, but at this moment, he reacted: "You mean the evil star? ”

Nicol Bolas did not answer the question.

It causes the black construct to raise its right hand and point at the plover.

"Anyway, you've succeeded, at least temporarily. The woman convinced me that I would enjoy the next big show, little one, and go ahead and meet whatever you should face. ”

The golden light converged in the Black Knight's palm, and the blazing flame was so similar to the power on the Golden Flame Ring.

Fang Yu subconsciously wanted to dodge, but he immediately found that he seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move at all.

Nicol Bolas' sneering voice echoed over the ruins, "I told you I didn't need to lift a finger if I wanted to kill you. But the dragon witch's tone softened, "But you're lucky this time." ”

She chuckled, "Get ready to accept my gift, it's what I agreed with that woman." Of course, you can also think of it as a curse—"

Nicol Bolas's squealing resounded through the air.

Fang Yu was taken aback, but his vision was already covered by golden light, and then, a pillar of light completely annihilated him.

A bouquet of honeysuckle hung on the door of the ward, and Fang Yu sighed lightly at the bouquet of olive-shaped leaves and plain flowers, silently holding the ring in his hand—that was the last thing that happened before he woke up.

"What about the drakes?" Fang Yu then recalled the 'Crow Storm' not long ago, and the talisman that An Luoser had given him was also damaged, which was the most heart-wrenching thing for him. However, he passed out at that time, and he was unaware of everything that happened after that.

Tang Xin then described everything that happened at that time.

Instead of attacking Charter City, the drakes turned a corner and headed deeper into the Traveler's Swamp. When she mentioned this, she looked like she couldn't say anything. Fang Yu looked at his expression before asking:

"Sugar Candy, do you have anything to say?"

Tang Xin hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly.

"It's not really my opinion, brother," she said, "but instead of attacking Charter City, that army of dragon beasts also collected the dragon beasts near Charter City...... It was as if there was a will behind them to send them to the depths of the Traveler's Swamp. ”

Fang Yu knew who the will behind it was, naturally it was the Dragon Witch, the only dark dragon in five centuries - and seriously, Toragotos was not a dark dragon in the true sense of the word.

It is only semi-depraved at best.

Moreover, the matter on Rollin's side is still in the fog, and it is not entirely certain whether they and Torragotos, as well as the dragon worshippers, are in the same group.

He continued, "And then?" ”

"......" Tang Xin was silent for a moment, and rarely looked at Sylvid behind her, before she spoke: "Brother, I feel that Nicol Bolas seems to be restraining the dragon beast......"

This statement sounded a little unbelievable, Fang Yu did not refute it, only said: "Go on." ”

"During the time you were unconscious, Miss Alyssa and I looked up some information in the community," Tang Xin replied, "and there have been recent sightings of situations like this in all parts of the northern part of Tarun. A large army of drakes crossed the countryside, but instead of attacking, they only took scattered drakes away from one area. ”

She paused, "Of course, there's also the theory that Nicol Bolas is preparing for a big operation, and she may be attacking an important city. Gula, Al Pahin, or Xinghong Harbor. It's like, she's attacking Charter City. ”

"What do you think?" Fang Yu asked.

"Elpahim and the consuls of various places have adopted the latter statement, so these regions have become tense now, and the Grand Guild is also frequently mobilized," Tang Xin said, "But I don't think it's that simple, the direction in which this dragon beast army has appeared in recent times, it seems that they are heading towards the depths of the Traveler Swamp. ”

"Is there anything deep in the Traveler's Swamp?" Fang Yu asked again.

"No," Tang Xin shook her head: "Nothing." ”

Fang Yu fell silent.

He couldn't help but think back to the conversation he had had with Nicol Bolas in that dream not long ago.

The dragon witch showed a rare attitude in the illusion, "This is what I agreed with that woman", and who is that woman? But Fang Yu suddenly had a somewhat peculiar realization in his heart-

That's not Nicol Bolas.

"Brother, what did you say?" Tang Xin was slightly stunned.

"I said it wasn't Nicol Bolas," said Fang, looking up from the bed and looking at his cousin and Sylvid.

"If it's not Nicol Bolas, who could it be?"

But behind his cousin, a heavy glint flashed in Sylvid's eyes, and she looked at Fang Yu with some surprise, and answered the name with a mouthful of words.

Ms. Misu.

Ms. Misu may not have completely lost her mind, but on the contrary, she is coexisting with Nicol Bolas.

As soon as this idea was generated, Fang Yuan's heart was extremely stirred, theoretically all this was not possible, anyone who inherited the immortal power of the dragon's golden pupil would turn into a dark dragon.

One exception, however, was Sir Dickt, who had received the power of immortality in Doriphon thirty years earlier, and had been lost in Dorifin's surroundings for a time. But this knight of the Lady of Marlan has never really lost himself.

What does that mean, it shows that the person who once gave him strength is still maintaining his will.

And that person.

It's Ms. Misu—

Fang Yu suddenly realized the real reason for this possibility: because of the power of the dragon's golden pupil, it had been suppressed in Dorifen's illusion.

And the moment it was taken out, it fell into their hands again, and they went all the way south to Idus. And in that place, they completely destroyed the Golden Pupil of the Dragon, albeit releasing some of the remnants of the Dragonlord Livinggard.

But the power that binds Nicol Bolas is gone, and that's why Evelyn can finally be redeemed.

Fang Yu couldn't help but sit up from his bed, it turned out that this was the real reason why Mazak let them go south, and everything they did was really not worthless.

But now there is only one question left, and since Lady Misu is still holding her will—what about Charter City? Why are dragon beasts still spawning and spreading, spreading and attacking the area along the Rainbow Sky Gorge?

This idea was like a puzzle that could not be solved for the time being, and Fang Yuan couldn't come to a conclusion after thinking for a while, only temporarily thinking that maybe it was because of Lady Misu's struggle with Nicol Bolas for control of her body, so she could not restrain all the children and minions.

Fang Yu suddenly wanted to know urgently whether Mazak and Lynn Lucius had found Ms. Misu.

After listening to his description, Tang Xin was also a little surprised. However, compared to this, she was still more concerned about Fang Yu's physical condition, and couldn't help but say: "Brother, these things can't be explained clearly for a while, and even if the Dragon Witch is really Ms. Misu, she has already left." ”

"You have a good rest, there is no trouble outside now."

She paused, gritted her teeth, and replied, "If there is any problem on the ship for the time being, Miss Sylvede and I will take care of it." ”

Fang Yu watched the two walk out the door.

Before closing the door, the aristocratic lady gave him a smiling look, which only made him itch.

However, as soon as the two of them went out, Fang Yu held the ring of golden flames and fell silent. There were some things he hadn't told his cousin and Sylvid before, what was Nicol Bolas's so-called 'curse' in the illusion?

He didn't know.

However, in addition to the Golden Flame Ring in his hand, there seemed to be something more in his messy mind.

It was like some words, or some jumble patterns, and when he concentrated, the words and patterns would be a little clearer. But he found it difficult, and it was very difficult for him to maintain it.

If you don't pay attention, the words and patterns will be a mess and you won't be able to read them at all.

He opened the system, only to find that there was a large line of crimson characters in the prompt:

Insufficient computing power.

This made Fang Yu a little surprised, he actually had a time when he was short of computing power, how much computing power did this thing require?

However, he vaguely felt that the patterns and words seemed to be some design drawings.

Because they seem to have some similar meaning to the inheritance that Hain-Sailm gave him. However, if this is true, then the design behind the words and patterns should be at least at the level of Zero Crystal.

Fang Yu couldn't help but be a little speechless, he had only touched one edge of the design drawing of the Zero Crystal, and now there was another design drawing of the same level, this was his life.

And he wasn't even sure what this blueprint was, and why Nicol Bolas had given him such a blueprint.

However, after carefully looking at his own thinking world for a long time, Fang Yu finally found the clue of this design drawing-

Next to the tall, black, spear-wielding knight-shaped structure above the general map were two simple bytes written in a script he had never seen before.

But for some reason, Fang Yu suddenly understood the meaning of the two words:

Fools.
