Time goes back a quarter of an hour.

The girl struggled a little to help Fang Yu back to the previous natural cave, probably because of the second time she walked this path, and it felt that this time it took much less time than the last time. At Fang Yuan's signal, the girl let go of his arm and let him rest his back against a cluster of crystals, and the pain coming from his shoulder made Fang Yu can't help but snort.

"Mr. Ed, are you alright?" The girl asked nervously in the dark.

Fang Yu shook his head slightly.

Then he whispered, "You heard about me, Eve. ”

"I'll listen, Mr. Eddard."

"You find a place to hide now, don't show your face, and I'll lure the others away later," he fumbled for the ring in the darkness and handed it back to the other party, gasping softly, "I still have something to ask you, can you wait for me here after we leave?" ”

The girl took the ring, a little hesitant: "But, Mr. Eddard, how can I let you go on an adventure alone like this?" ”

Fang Yu shook his head again, "Listen to my question, Eve," he replied word by word, "will you—in—here—wait—me—?" ”

"This ...... If Mr. Ed asks for it, of course I will. ”

"Really?"

"Really."

"Okay, then you remember, I took a mission from you, and this mission is not over yet—you need to wait for me to come back, we have agreed."

The girl was a little puzzled, but still nodded: "I—I don't understand it a little...... But I'll do that, Mr. Eddard. ”

Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't explain to her, if he didn't do this, he was worried that the mission would be reset as soon as he left. The mission reset itself isn't terrible, it's a big deal that he can go through the process again.

The problem is that if the mission is reset and the Dragon-worshippers discover her, then everything he's done before will be in vain. The truth about the Dragon Witch may be buried under this dust forever - of course, he doesn't know who the person who came in from outside is sacred, but he can only assume that the other party is related to the Dragon Worship Sect.

Fang Yu didn't know if it would work if he did this—he didn't know if the soul itself would produce memories—but he could try to buy a little time, even if it was a minute longer.

He replied softly, "Give me a little time, and I'll come to you after I've led those people away—if, I mean, if I accidentally die at the hands of those people, but I still have Starlight, maybe a little longer, but I'll definitely come." ”

Not reassured, he added, "This is something about Mr. Joshide, Miss Eve." ”

The girl seemed to understand, and nodded again.

This time, Fang Yuan's eyesight gradually adapted to the situation in the dark, and he also saw the other party's movements clearly.

He quietly pressed his hand on his left chest and hesitated. At this time, the girl couldn't help but ask again: "But I can't help Mr. Ed at all, I, I also have some combat power, Joshoud taught him my ......"

Fang Yu had seen her 'combat power', and she was vulnerable in front of the dragon's minions, but if the other party changed into a dragon, it would be full of 'combat power'. But if she does change to Nicol Bolas, she should be the first to kill him.

Somehow, a thought crossed his mind that the Tada priest had warned him not to go west, because he would see the 'shadow of death' there. Is this the shadow of death? The first time he died at the hands of Miss Mia, is it going to be here the second time?

Even though Miss Mia gave him half of the Starlight, after bringing the Elven Three Rings and the Soul of the Shattered Star, there was not much Starlight left for him.

The Tada sacrifice told him that the Sea of Shining would shelter him, but where was it now?

He looked at the dark natural grottoes, the underground canals, and there was nothing connected to the sea of magic.

But suddenly, his gaze rested on the dark crystals—no, not entirely. With some strength, he struggled to sit up and whispered, "Eve, can you still find those crystals from before?" ”

"I—I can try it."

"I don't have much magic left in the magic furnace, but if I still have magic power, I may not be able to fight those people, it's just ......"

"I see," interrupted the girl's voice with some urgency, "I'll go, I—I'll do my best." ”

Fang Yu nodded.

Immediately, in the darkness came the sound of the girl groping her way away.

Fang Yu exhaled lightly and closed his eyes weakly, the enemy did not chase after him, just giving him a chance to breathe. He turned his hand away, pulled out the bolt with all his might, and threw it on the ground without saying a word.

His weakness was mainly due to the toxin, as it would take some time for the antidote to work. He couldn't help but hate that he wasn't a warrior, if he was a warrior, how could the resistance generated by his physique be made like this by a little toxin?

Only then did Fang Yu reopen his eyes.

But it was at this time that he saw a glimmer of light in the darkness.

Two voices rang out one after the other:

"Ed."

"Boy, you've made yourself miserable."

Both voices stopped at the same time.

Two pages of glowing light slowly unfolded in front of Fang Yu, as if reflected in the darkness in front of him—they were two communication light pages, one on the left and one on the right. On the left was a face he knew all too well—a beautiful face, eyes like silver light, long pointed ears, and silver hair like a waterfall.

The peace in her eyes seemed to be innate, and no difficulty would make her hesitate. The faint silver that was reflected in it was just like a star flower, quietly and silently, slowly blooming.

Miya just looked at him, which made Fang Yu have a quiet feeling, as if there was a quiet poem in silence.

On the other side, there is a black silhouette with a question mark on it, which is just the default avatar of the system - proving that the other party has not turned on the camera. Underneath that avatar, there is a striking name:

R。

"Huh?"

R snorted softly, and the light page turned in that direction, asking, "This voice?" ”

Miya also looked in that direction, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes like starlight: "It's you?" ”

"Sea Witch," R smirked, "I remember, you also appeared in the Elven Ruins." It turns out that you have something to do with this stupid boy, let me guess what secrets are there between you-"

Miya replied lightly, "Ed is not stupid. ”

Fang Yu was so moved that tears were about to fall - although the occasion was not suitable at the moment, this was the first time he had heard someone say that he was not stupid, which was too heartwarming. He suddenly felt that Miss Miya was a good person.

Miya then asked, "Ed is your student?" ”

R made a rare refusal: "Yes." ”

Fang Yu was so beautiful that his nose was almost foaming, and he hurriedly wiped a handful of tears—of course, it hurt when he drew the crossbow bolt before. Of course, he knows that the other party has a lot of skills, R actually didn't teach him much, just a little mention, and he also has today's level.

He had always wanted to officially make him his teacher, and such a relationship was not peculiar in Aitalia—he had never heard of the famous Drafter, nor had he had a good mentor. Even today's Ten Kings are the same.

And even a lone wanderer like Loofah has a good teacher like Ming.

As for him, although he has learned a little from the east and a little from the west, Hades, Odin, Hand Washing, Lady Leia, and even Virus, they have taught him some things, plus a few aboriginal teachers, but in fact, he has not really systematically learned the knowledge of the Elector.

The reason why he made so many jokes was naturally not for nothing.

But what caught him off guard was that R would agree lightly on such an unexpected occasion.

R added: "But I haven't taught him much, this kid is a geek, and when I met him, it happened that I was a little confused myself." I didn't want to delay this kid for my own reasons, but then I felt that he should have a path of his own, so I let him develop. ”

Miya was silent for a moment: "You have such a high opinion of Ed? ”

R laughed: "It's not too high, don't say I'm irresponsible." This kid was a little stunned, but it was rare that his original intention did not change, and I saw in him some of the things of their generation. ”

But Miya shook her head: "You are professional, I don't judge this aspect." ”

The two of them talked one by one, seemingly ignoring Fang Yuan. However, Fang Yu listened to it and couldn't help but open his mouth slightly, he never dreamed that R and Miya would have such a higher opinion of him.

He couldn't help but blink his eyes, wondering if he had been poisoned so deeply that he was hallucinating.

"Wait, wait," he finally interjected, "Miss Mia, do you know the teacher?" ”

Mia then looked at him and nodded—but shook her head again: "I've heard of him, but I don't know him. I've dealt with him a few times above the community, so I remember his voice well, after all—"

"Alright," R interrupted her, "don't expect anything from her, I'm a professional at secrecy." You'll be able to see me when you need to, but at your current level—it's not almost. ”

Fang Yu opened his mouth.

He suddenly thought of something, and asked, "By the way, teacher, didn't you sleep?" ”

"I 'went' to sleep," R said a little angrily, "but there is another word in this world called 'can't sleep', don't you understand, whose fault do you think it's for?" ”

Fang Yu was so frightened that he suddenly shut up.

Miya replied, "I feel that Starlight has abnormal fluctuations," she looked at Fang Yu quietly, and asked with concern, "Ed, you don't seem to be in a good state." ”

"Starlight has abnormal fluctuations?" R's voice was a little higher, with a hint of surprise: "Wait, you guys are ...... The Pact of the Twins? ...... this talent? ”

There was a moment of silence.

Then he spoke in a more serious tone before he spoke, "Ed, show me your right hand." ”

Fang Yu hesitated for a moment and looked at Miya. Seeing that the latter nodded, he took off his gloves, and the half of the silver crown emblem was still a little conspicuous in the dark.

R' looked at Miya, and then 'looked' at him, and only after a while did he speak: "I didn't expect you to really get the Hailin crown under the nose of BBK, but what I didn't expect was that you and this kid would have such a relationship." ”

"Symbiosis agreement," R sighed softly, "Boy, are you going to ask for a girlfriend?" ”

Fang Yu heard it in a fog and looked at him innocently.

"The Helin Crown was found by Ed," Miya replied quietly, "I just had to do it, but the crown is still Ed's thing, and I just keep it for him." ”

"Second only to God's talent, the second talent, you can see—"

Mia was noncommittal.

Fang Yu couldn't understand the conversation between the two at all. He had put his gloves back on, and he saw the girl groping and beating in the dark cavern beside him—Eve seemed a little anxious, but the more anxious she was, the more likely she was to make mistakes.

He saw the girl shrink her hand suddenly, and quickly held it with her left hand, seeing that the action should be a cut for the sharp crystal. But she didn't say a word, and continued to search.

Fang Yu then remembered that his current crisis had not been resolved, and it was not the time to discuss this.

"Eve."

He whispered.

The girl looked back at him in bewilderment.

"Come back," Fang Yu replied, "no need to look for it again." ”

"No," the girl said anxiously, "Mr. Ed, you tell me to look for it again, as long as I have a little more time, I will definitely find enough crystals." ”

She said as she clutched the inconspicuous gray crystals in her hands.

But Fang Yu shook his head slightly: "No need to look for it, there are already enough crystals." ”

The girl paused, "Where, Mr. Eddard?" ”

Fang Yu moved his gaze to his side—as he was talking to Miya and R, he suddenly cleared his mind—and he patted the dark crystal beside him with his hand and replied, "Isn't this it?" ”

They needed the Grey Crystal to complete the seal. But now it's not about mending the seal, aren't these ubiquitous black crystals, or Nicol Bolas's dragon scales, the crystallized products of powerful magic?

The girl was even more stunned.

The next moment, she said in a hurry: "But...... They are crystals that contain dark powers, and only ...... Only the dirtiest people would get contaminated with these things...... Those who wield the power of darkness are unforgivable......"

Fang Yu was also stunned for a moment.

He was a little surprised: "Who told you that?" ”

"Big ...... That's what the Great Elder said......"

Fang Yu shook his head: "Then he was wrong." In the first chapter of "Introduction to Aether", it is written in black and white that Aitalia's magic has four-color attributes, and together with the most high-ranking god Aether, Light Crystal, there are a total of five types of magic. ”

"Scholars have long discovered that the magic power of different attributes only has different requirements for the adaptability of people's magic power, so how can there be any noble and dirty words?"

He shook his head, "Could it be that believers who use the Light Aether are superior to the magicians who use the magic power of the four-color attribute, there has never been such a statement. It's the same with dark magic, it's just magic with erosive properties. ”

"We don't usually use it, it's just because no one in this world has the Dark Aether adaptability, and the magic of the corrosive attribute is too burdensome for the average person's body. So in general, only those who are favored by the Dark Saints will use these magical powers. ”

"You can say that most of the people who use the magic of darkness are believers in evil gods, but that doesn't mean that those who use the dark aether will definitely fall?" He felt that the other party's statement was simply incredible: "Besides, it is the magic furnace that uses magic power, and the magic furnace is a machine, how can it be degenerate?" ”

The girl was stunned.

She asked in a daze, in a low voice, "...... It's true? ”

"Really," Fang Yu took out a book: "This is the "Introduction to the Aether", whether it is an alchemist, a magician, or an elemental envoy, this is the most basic textbook, I carry it with me." Believe it or not, you can see that this theory was proposed by the great alchemist, Eddard himself, more than a thousand years ago - of course, it was not me, but a great Noumerin elf. So, you can also say that it is the theory of the Noumerin elves. ”

As if she hadn't heard, the girl only asked in a low voice, "Dark magic...... Isn't it really bad magic? ”

"Magic itself has attribute differences," Fang Yu didn't notice the girl's expression, and only corrected seriously—this is the foundation of the foundation, and the master craftsmen of Kapka repeated it repeatedly: "Dark magic is just a term for magic with corrosive attributes. ”

The girl opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.

But Fang Yu stood up and interrupted the other party's words.

He listened intently, and seemed to hear something from the darkness.

"A nightingale."

But he didn't know it yet.

R's voice was already heard from within the pages of light.

"Teacher," Fang Yu was a little surprised: "How do you know?" ”

R smiled lightly and looked at Miya to the side.

Mia replied, "Ed, controlling the sound is the basic skill of the nightingale, and you can't hear them if you listen to them. But the Nightingale also needs to use magic, and it needs to use the magic furnace, and you should know that magic affects each other. ”

"On the battlefield, there are too many influences - but here, it's just the case of the two of you, the light of your magic furnace has just dimmed, and that's when R and I noticed someone leaning in."

R then said: "Generally speaking, the only ones who are the spearheads are the Nightingale, or the Assassins. However, the assassins will most likely still pay attention to this small detail, so most of the people who come are the nightingale has not run away. ”

He paused for a moment before asking, "I haven't asked you yet, what is the matter with you now?" ”

Fang Yu didn't answer, and couldn't help but ask, "But if you say that, isn't the nightingale profession useless?" ”

"Of course not," R replied, "In normal squad and team battles, the magic of your teammates will also interfere with each other, so you won't be able to use this little trick on a daily basis." And even if it is a heads-up, slightly more high-end nightingale, they will pay attention to this detail and find a way to eliminate it. ”

"So this trick, you can use it to deal with those guys who are not proficient in learning, and it's not bad."

Fang Yu suddenly realized.

He shook his head and replied, "I don't know who the other party is, but they have a squad......"

R didn't ask who the one was sacred, but only asked Miya, "Are you coming or am I coming?" ”

"I'll come," Miya replied softly, "Ed, you're wounded, and the next battle - you let me arrange it." ”
