Chapter 217: The Sacrificial Ground I
"Half of the elite group, even if it is a youth team...... This time you can be regarded as a stabbing of the sky, Ed, the Jefflitt Redcoats are destined to fight you to the death. ”
Sophie said as she looked through the pages of light at the ancient underground city.
"Actually, it hasn't changed, because I've been with them all the time." Fang Yu also looked at the deep darkness, and after collapsing the bridge from the eleventh floor to the twelfth floor, he was not in the mood to stay to see how much the Jeffrey Redcoats had lost, and led the team out of that place.
As the team continued deeper, there were scattered islands of ruins below, isolated from the abyss.
The fragments of the ancient city were connected by a solitary iron chain, or a makeshift arched bridge, not much different from the previous one, and it is conceivable that these were the work of Torragotos.
He looked at the darkness, and the darkness was reflected in his eyes like a thick fog that shrouded the cookie-cutter buildings in the ruins.
"That's different."
"What's the difference?" Fang Yu turned his head.
Sophie shook her head slightly, not knowing how to speak for a moment.
"Will it have any effect on you?" Fang Yu thought for a moment and asked.
"There's definitely a little bit of impact," Sophie replied, "The Jeffrey Redcoats probably thought we did it at this time, I'm afraid the guild leaders will contact me later, but I'll report it truthfully-"
"That's nature." Fang Yu nodded, not thinking that there was anything wrong with the other party doing this.
Sophie glanced at him and reminded, "Be careful, the people from the Super Athletic League may find you after this." ”
"Super Athletic League?" Fang Yu was stunned for a moment: "What are they looking for me to do, what I did did did not violate the Star Gate Declaration, doesn't the Super Athletic Alliance encourage healthy competition between individuals and guilds?" ”
"That's what the propaganda slogan says," Sophie looked at the guy helplessly, thinking to herself that this guy is so shrewd sometimes, but how could he not figure it out on such a simple question? She couldn't help but ask, "But do you really believe it?" ”
Fang Yu frowned, naturally hearing that Her Royal Highness the princess had something to say, he was not a fool, after going through so many things, he would regard the other party as an angel of truth, kindness and beauty without any doubt.
Sophie sighed, looking at the lonely big boy, and suddenly felt a little unbearable, although it was not uncommon for individuals to fight against the Great Guild in Aitalia, and most of the results were already doomed from the beginning.
She knew a few things about it, but she wasn't a sympathetic person, and some of them were to blame - but the big boy in front of her was different, his deeds were well known in the community, and the Jeffrey Redcoats didn't take care of it anyway.
Sometimes, however, it doesn't seem so important.
Seeing that the other party was still dazed and ignorant, she suddenly felt an urge in her heart, such a thing happened to her, which made her empathize, and the sense of glory from Silver Vislan also made her unable to remain indifferent.
She thought for a moment and suddenly said, "You know the competition area management meeting, right?" ”
Fang Yu nodded, it was the regional subordinate organization of the Super Athletic Alliance.
Sophie still explained: "The regional management committee is the de facto organizer of the Super Athletic League in each region, and it sounds like a subordinate body of the Super Athletic League, but in fact there is no subordinate relationship between the two. The Super Athletic League is the organizer of the biennial Super Competitive League, and the following regional management committees are responsible for the management of professional callers, guilds and clubs in each region in addition to organizing regional competitions. ”
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Sophie's words meant, and what intersection it had with their current topic.
But as if she hadn't noticed his gaze, the little princess of Silver Vislan only said to herself: "So of course, the competition between the divisions also affects the management committee of the competition region to which it belongs. The strength of the competition area and the degree of development indirectly determine the status of the organizer in the region where it is located, and generally speaking, the management of the competition area will naturally have more resources at hand than the management of a small region, and it will be much more beautiful. ”
"That's why the management won't turn a blind eye to the battles between the drafters within their own divisions – it's impossible to have no fights at all, but they should also be limited to prevent too much internal friction – especially before the tournament. In fact, the Jeffrey Redcoats are now very popular, and the BBK alliance behind them has faintly become one of the top ten guilds, and if you wipe out half of their regiment at once here, do you guess their people will be indifferent? ”
Fang Yu was slightly stunned.
Sophie sighed: "The key is that this is the Dead Silence Zone, if the people of the Super Athletic League judge that you have overshot and damaged the overall strength of the Chinese Division, can you bear it?" ”
Fang Yu asked in disbelief: "But the people of the Jeffrey Redcoat Team made the first move, so they can't let me be beaten and not fight back, right?" ”
Sophie pursed her lips and glanced at him with some pity: "Theoretically, this is true, but people will have selfish intentions after all, and for the management committee, you alone and the Jeffrey Redcoats are more important, I think you have the answer yourself, and-"
Speaking of this, she paused: "In fact, it is far more complicated than you think, if the Jeffrey Redcoats are determined to deal with you, they can also use the resources of reality to influence the judgment of the management council, you don't really think that those people are iron-faced and selfless sages, right?" ”
Fang Yu was a little silent.
Sophie whispered: "I know some of your grievances with the Jeffrey Redcoats, it's far from easy for you to deal with them, the gap between the individual and the organized guild is too big, in all aspects. ”
"Although I personally agree with you, and there are many people in the community who support you, it doesn't work - if you really want revenge, join Silver Westland. You should know that you have such value, and I can be very sure that I will convince the guild to be in the upper echelons, and the Jeffrey Redcoats are behemoths compared to you, but they are nothing in front of Silver Westland. ”
It was the first time that Her Royal Highness the Silver Princess of Visland had spoken so clearly, and she didn't know why she was like this, which was not in line with her usual character.
But Sophie only had a vague feeling in her heart that if she didn't, the other party might never choose this path.
But Fang Yu was only silent for a moment, and finally shook his head: "Thank you, Miss Sophie, I know that you are telling the truth, and I also have a good impression of you Silver Vislan, but I don't want this way of joining - just naked pursuit of profit, in that case, what is the difference between me and those people?" ”
He thought for a moment and continued: "Not to mention that this is my business, I will not push it to Silver Vislan, maybe it is a win-win in your opinion, but in my opinion it is actually a lose-lose. ”
He looked at Sophie, "Because Silver Vislan won't give up on his beliefs easily, right?" ”
The little princess of Silver Vislan was stunned for a moment.
She thought that she could educate this somewhat naïve big boy, but she didn't expect that she would be educated when it came to the end.
Sophie was stunned for a while before she replied faintly, "Okay, but if you run into any trouble that can't be solved, please remember to contact me." Only this time I'm not representing Silver Vislain, I'm just myself. ”
"Of course, Miss Sophie," Fang Yu smiled freely, "Don't worry, I won't be polite to my friends." ”
On the other side of the light page, the line suddenly stopped.
The crowd had reached the end of the road, and the people in front of them raised torches to shine around, and a deep and uninhabited square appeared in everyone's field of vision.
Fang Yu looked behind him, they had collapsed the lone bridge when they left the eleventh floor, although a mere bridge should not be enough to defeat the Jeffrey Redcoats, but at least it could delay the other party for a while.
They've been long enough to leave the Redcoats far behind, the dark underground doesn't know what's going on, and the Silver Vislan need to stop and recuperate after the previous battle.
Of course, more importantly, he also has his own private affairs to deal with.
It's been long enough since then.
Fang Yu looked around, a little satisfied with the environment here, and then turned back to Sophie and said, "I'm afraid it will take a while for the Jeffrey Redcoats to catch up, I'm going to ask everyone to stop and rest for five minutes - I also need to deal with the affairs of the team, so I'll leave it to you, Miss Sophie." ”
Sophie naturally understood what he meant, nodded her head, and replied, "Then you should be careful." ”
After speaking, she took the initiative to turn off the communication, and in the face of the fading light curtain, she was slightly distracted.
Sophie sighed faintly and said, "This is the first time I've met a guy who doesn't care about the Super Athletic League, and I don't know if it's because my heart is too big, or if this guy doesn't know the seriousness of the problem at all......"
"But it's also quite handsome," the elements on the side made the girl reply lightly: "I didn't think this guy was anything special, but I didn't expect Sister Sophie to have a vision." ”
The former glanced at the girl: "Where is handsome, it's just that you don't have a brain, you must not learn from him, I don't want my subordinates to be some troublemakers." ”
The girl shrugged.
Deep underground—
Fang Ou settled the others in the square, especially Tenarek, and then led Sylvid to a nearby no-man's land—and as he expected, the men in black followed.
It has gradually penetrated into the twelfth floor, and the surrounding area of the square is not only dark in the optical sense, but also dark fog lingering in the depths, and there is always a feeling that there is some other dark thing lurking underneath.
Those things whisper in the darkness, and the small words can't stop burrowing into people's minds. But when you listen closely, you can hear pins falling all around, and when you stop, even the only rustling sound disappears, and the darkness is as quiet as a vacuum.
The silence of the environment makes people feel a little depressed, so much so that they hallucinate, and even the shadows under the torches become swaying, no longer acting with their main actions, as if they have autonomous consciousness.
But Fang Yu shook his head, the illusion was gone, and everything returned to the same place, and there was no abnormality at all.
He stopped, and the others followed.
Fang Yu glanced at those people, and was not afraid, but Sylvide in front of him asked, "Who are they, can you tell me now, Miss Sylvide?" ”
Sylvid glanced at him, then at the others, and nodded at them, and the men in black hesitated, but they took the hood off their heads, revealing their true faces underneath. All six of them appeared to be natives of Kaorin-Ishurian, and one of them was a dwarf—although Fang Ou had guessed this by his height.
The bald man at the head of the group was of an exceptionally tall physique, with a turban on his head, pale skin, and a striking tattoo on his face in the shape of a shark's tooth - the weapon was a short hammer stuck in his waist, and a scimitar, and Fang Ou could not tell what kind of occupation the other party was.
Most of the others also have tattoos on their arms and faces, such as the dwarf being a parrot.
"They are my father's subordinates," Sylved replied softly, bluntly. She looked at the tallest man again and introduced, "This is Mr. Baggins, my father's right-hand man. ”
"Hello, boy." Baggins glanced at Fang Yuan, and didn't mean to stretch out his hand, but only replied so lightly. Only then did Fang Yu notice that the other party was blind in one eye like the big cat man, and a glass prosthetic eye was installed in his right eye, which was much lighter in color than the other eye.
This made him look a little cold and vicious.
However, Fang Yu didn't care about the other party's negligence.
He only looked at Sylwid and asked, "Then Miss Sylvid, what is the reason why you left everyone without saying a word?" ”
As if expecting him to ask this question, Sylvid opened the suitcase, took out a stone slab from it and handed it to him: "Naturally, because of it, the reason why the Jeffrey Redcoats will catch up with me is also because of this thing." ”
Fang Yu was slightly stunned, and took the slate to see that the slate was maroon as a whole, like some kind of slate rock, but it was much stronger, not sandy. And there are obvious traces of artificial carving on it, he took out the crystal that emitted a dark light and shone it on it, only to find that some complex lines were densely drawn on the stone slab, and he carefully compared it with his memory in his heart, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
This is a map.
Among them, the section of the road from the eleventh to the twelfth floor, Fang Yu remembers it very clearly, and it is exactly the same as the one painted on this stone slab. But the map on this stone slab is far more than this, there is a wider terrain behind it, and Fang Yu forcibly resisted the turbulent waves in his heart.
He had realized that this could be the entire detailed map of this underground ruin after the twelfth floor.
"Miss Sylvide, this thing ......" he took a breath before he calmed himself down before asking, "How did it come about?" ”
"From the Andert, they are the natives of this underground," Sylved replied as she looked at the slab and remained unchanged, "Princess Brianne is their old patron, so I always knew there was a nezumi village down there. ”
Fang Yu was slightly stunned.
He had a vague sense of the question - was this tablet a trophy that the Andertars had taken from beneath the ruins? Was it originally the Sinsas snake man? The problem is that Sophie had said that the Andertres were too timid, and they would not easily go deep underground, let alone go to the ruins to find some treasure.
He frowned and looked at the stone tablet in his hand, only to find some strange words engraved on it.
But it doesn't look like the Sinsas snake language seen before.
He couldn't help but subconsciously call out to Miss Fairy in his mind, and when Tata saw it, he told him, "This is the text of the Andert, in fact, it is a variant of the ancient dwarven language, Mr. Knight, do you need me to translate it?" ”
Fang Yu nodded.
Miss Fairy read it carefully, and then told him that the text was actually just some auxiliary markers, mainly to point out some key points on the map.
Fang Yu was slightly stunned: "In other words, this map is from the handwriting of the Andert rat man?" ”
Tata shook his head: "I'm not sure about that, Mr. Knight, but by comparing the handwriting, it's very likely." Need I analyze it further, Mr. Knight, that might take a little time. ”
Fang Yu nodded again.
He took the slate and looked at the noble lady in front of him—but his doubts grew—and if the map was the work of the nezumi, it would be even more problematic. With the guts of the nezumi, how could they dare to go deep into the ruins and draw such a detailed map?
He was silent for a moment before he spoke slowly, "Miss Sylvide, I know you have some secrets, and I have them—but if you want to hear them, I can tell you those things." ”
"I just hope that we can share each other's secrets because we're teammates—"
He looked at the other party, the eyes of the aristocratic girl like the shallow sea, which looked a little gentle in the light of the crystal.
"Do you believe us?"
Sylvide's eyelashes drooped slightly: "So what do you want to hear, my captain?" ”
"I want to hear the truth...... What is your purpose in this slate? ”
"It's an obelisk." Sylvid raised her eyes and glanced at him, "You've guessed that, haven't you?" ”
"But why?"
The girl shook her head slightly: "Because of my father." ”
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, he knew that the noble girl almost never mentioned this matter, as if she rarely revealed a word about her father except for the boat.
He didn't know what had happened in between, but he was sure that it wasn't going to be a happy experience.
"Is that enough?" Sylvid took a breath and looked up at him.
Fang Yu hesitated for a moment before nodding: "I'm sorry, Miss Sylvide......"
Sylvade narrowed her eyes and smiled at him with some amusement.
"Thank you, Mr. Captain."
"Then this slate," Fang Yu looked at the slate in his hand before asking, "How could it be related to the Jeffrey Reds, how could they treat you like that?" ”
Sylvid shook her head: "Because someone betrayed this tablet and my information to the Jeffrey Redcoats, I thought I was too careless when I connected with the Andert, but I didn't think it would be him-"
"I was ambushed by the Jeffrey Redcoats in the Nezumi Village, and I was almost captured by them, but luckily I got the slate in the end, and they chased me all the way to this place."
She looked at Fang Yuan: "The captain also knows what happened after that." ”
Fang Yu felt that something was wrong.
"Wait a minute, so you met the Jeffrey Redcoats at that time?"
Sylvid nodded, "Any questions?" ”
"Who attacked the Andert's village and killed everyone?" Fang Yu asked, "And that dragon boat......
Sylvid was slightly stunned and looked at him with some surprise.
Apparently I didn't quite understand what he meant by that.
"You don't know?" Fang Yu then asked, "Those people outside said that you summoned those undead to attack everyone. ”
"Undead?" Sylvid thought for a moment, and replied, "I'm wondering where the undead came from, and if it weren't for them, I wouldn't have escaped that far." It was only because they caught the attention of the Jeffrey Redcoats that I was able to escape into the ruins—"
When the noble lady replied.
Fang Yu looked at her expression carefully, and it didn't seem to be a fake.
But suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in Fang Yu's heart, as if he had faintly grasped something.
"Wait a minute," he suddenly interrupted, "Miss Sylvide, did you see Alice before the eighth layer?" ”
"Alice? That pair of twin sisters? Sylvid shook her head, "Of course not. ”
Fang Yu thought of the aboriginal at this time, and the thoughts in his mind became clearer: "Let me guess - because you and the Jeffrey Redcoats have been looking for the obelisk for a long time, so they have always known about your existence, so they will install an inside line around you?" ”
Sylvide frowned and hesitated, but nodded.
"Then the question is, at that time in the San Peroux Valley, we were all in the trials after the Jeffrey Redcoats-" Fang Yu thought for a moment: "So you are naturally no exception, the inside line around you is aborigines, right?" So how did he get the word out to the Jeffrey Redcoats to let the people of Jeffret know that you were also in the midst of the trials, and to ambush you in the Andert village? ”
Sylvid was slightly stunned and looked at him with some surprise.
And a name flashed through Fang Yuan's mind.
Let him stand completely on the spot.
The problem seems to be a bit serious.
