When the wanderer and the little girl passed by, Fang Yu subconsciously shook the 'Pride of the Lonely King', and the two powerful angels staggered their blades to protect him and Attila in front of him. But the imaginary danger did not happen, and two figures, one tall and one short, passed through his and Attila's bodies, just like the previous apparitions of Mazak and Misus.

He subconsciously turned his head, but the figures of the two were exactly the same as the previous scene, and gradually disappeared into the darkness in that direction. This scene is slightly different from the previous apparition between Mazak and Ms. Misu, and from beginning to end, there is no communication between the wanderer and the little girl.

Fang Yu let go of the Golden Flame Ring in his hand, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled: What is this? What kind of imagery do the wanderers and little girls represent? Could the little girl be Eve? And who is the wanderer?

Her father?

But looking at the relationship between the two, it's not too similar.

And the long sword wrapped in rags in the wanderer's hand always reminded him of the Moan Sacred Sword under the Castle of Ai Spear. He couldn't help but guess the connection between the two, but judging from the timeline, it didn't quite match.

Long before the Dragon Witch was born, the Blood Thistle Glade had already undergone that upheaval, and if someone had sent the 'Moya Holy Sword' under the castle before that, the little girl in front of her would not have been Eve anyway.

"Ed."

Fang Plover turned his head, the elves had unique night vision in the darkness, and Attila's gaze sparkled in the faint light, like a cat's eyes. She remembered one thing and said, "Those two people just now, do you remember an incident that Tianlan encountered not long ago?" ”

Fang Yu pondered for a moment, and also remembered that incident. "Are you saying that the night we camped on the shores of the Long Lake, among the ruins around the Golden Shore, Sky Blue claimed to have seen a ghost in the forest?"

"The ghost that Tianlan saw was actually a wanderer and a little girl."

"She wasn't really sure if it was a boy or a girl." But after saying this, Fang Yu also fell silent. Whether the boy or the girl is just a side story, and the point is that the two people that Sky Blue sees are strikingly similar to the scene seen today.

In Aitalia, wanderers pretending to be mystical abounded, and he himself played such an image for a while in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Flor descendants and the military. But there are not many adventurers who appear in the wild with a little girl.

Is it possible to encounter this situation twice in a short period of time?

And it's equally doubtful whether what Sky Blue sees is a phantom or a real place?

Just because of this scene in front of him, Fang Yu's heart was already full of doubts and unreasonableness, but he didn't say much, he only looked at the passage of the black hole in front of him, and said to the elf lady behind him: "Let's move on first, Miss Attila." ”

Miss Elf nodded silently.

Just after entering the black prison, he encountered such a thing, which made Fang Yu couldn't help but be full of curiosity about what kind of truth the dragon golden pupil on his hand could bring to them. Every time he took a step forward at this moment, he had the illusion of going deeper into the history of a hundred years ago.

He even raised the Golden Flame Ring in his hand without saying a word, letting the light it emit act as a lighting crystal, guiding the two of them deeper into the world.

For the first time in thousands of years, the light of Venus's fire is in the hands of mortals, and it is used to play the role of illuminating the way forward—

For this, those who have given their lives in the fight against the dark dragon......

Those innocent victims.

Maybe a slight sigh too.

What was meant to be a symbol of destruction, but in the end, it also acquires a meaning of hope.

Perhaps that's the true meaning of this war between humans and dragons.

It wasn't long before Fang Yu raised the ring in his hand and moved forward silently, and in the dark depths ahead, a low sobbing sound sounded from the darkness in front of him—that faint cry, as if coming from the deepest part of the dungeon.

In that cry, there was not much complaint, and resentment about one's own situation—only endless grief and helplessness.

Fang Yu stopped and stood still.

Because this time he heard it clearly, it was not someone else's voice, it was Eve's voice. It was the girl's deep and subtle voice, and she cried quietly, as if she was the only one left in this huge underground space.

The first time Fang Ou heard that voice, it was a girl singing softly in the darkness, and the voice was like a nightingale, like a ray of dawn light that pierced the dark underground.

And this time, he listened to the sound as well, but it was more like a bird with folded wings. After a violent storm, it only stayed there quietly, using its last strength to let out a sad song.

There is such a big difference between the meanings, but what kind of changes have been undergone to shape the completely different faces of the same person?

He hadn't stepped forward yet, but Attila had already taken two steps forward at the sound of the voice.

A scene unfolded in front of the two of them.

As if the curtain was slowly opening, light appeared out of thin air in the darkness ahead.

A chubby man stood outside the door of the prison, the light in the darkness coming from the candle in the other's hand. He stood in the aisle with the candle in his hand, and looked inside the iron fence gate—a soft felt hat on his head, and a few silver balls glued to it.

It seems that it is either an official in the town hall or a local nobleman.

The man spoke:

"Don't cry, I asked for you, that Yoshhide won't be back anytime soon. I've heard that the pilgrim went to the north, and possibly to Goland, do you expect him to come back and save you with the news? ”

"Don't be too naïve, little girl, men just like to talk flatteringly, don't believe their nonsense too much. I suggest you find someone more reliable to help you, don't you have an adoptive father? I've heard he's been running around the city for you these days. ”

He took a step back: "I also pity you, so I say this for you." Little girl, people outside call you a 'dragon witch', but I don't think so, I think you're just a poor little girl, as old as my daughter. ”

He said.

But they didn't 'notice', Fang Yuan and Attila stood not far away, quietly watching this scene. The two of them heard a rustling sound coming from the black prison, and a pair of pale hands grasped the railing.

The girl's voice poured out pitifully: "Kind Mr. official, I, I didn't kill anyone, I didn't kill people. ”

She cried again as she spoke: "But my adoptive father is just an ordinary wandering adventurer, with no name, no power and no power, and I know that he has been working hard for me. But what good is that? ”

"If Joshud could not testify on my behalf, the Archon would not believe me......"

"Ah, the pilgrimage is so influential, but how do you prove that you really have this relationship with him, so that he can do anything for you?" The official also sighed: "Far water can't quench your thirst, little girl." ”

He shook his head, glanced inside, and walked out.

In front of the officials were Fang Yu and Sylvid, but the other party completely ignored them, just like a transparent ghost, passing through the two of them and then turning into nothingness. After he left, there was a moment of silence in the darkness before the girl fell to her knees weakly.

And he wept pitifully.

Fang Yu couldn't help but think back to the pure-hearted, free-spirited, and unrestrained Miss Eve she saw in the underground world. Regardless of whether it was the Dragon Witch or not, he couldn't bear it, so he subconsciously stepped forward, and finally opened the door of this cell first.

But Attila grabbed him from behind and shook her head at him gently.

Miss Elf looked behind her.

Fang Yuan noticed that her pointed ears twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but look in that direction, there was a rustling sound in the darkness, and after a while, he saw a figure slowly walking out there.

That figure was none other than that—

It was the same wanderer the two had seen before.

It's just that in this scene now, the other party is much older, more like an old man who is dying of old age. He was still carrying the long package on his back, his head was covered with hoarfrost, and he limped at some point, and walked slowly with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The other party walked silently through Fang Ou and Attila until he walked to the cell door, and looked at his adopted daughter in the cell.

"Mr. Alter......"

"Wait, Eve," the wanderer began, "I will take you out, and their misunderstandings, rumors, and invectives against you will one day be shattered. I'll also help you inform Josyud, trust him, and believe in the promise between the two of you—"

This was the first time Fang Ou had heard a voice, hoarse and low, unhurried, as if he was expounding an established fact.

"Believe in yourself, Eve, he'll be back."

"Before Judgment Day."

These words made the girl regain a little confidence that she had almost lost for the official.

She wiped away her tears and replied, "Yes, I understand, Mr. Art...... Joschud he'll be back, he promised me. ”

The wanderer did not say a word, but listened silently to the narration of her adopted daughter, and she babbled on and on about the things that Fang Yu had heard before—the fond memories of her relationship with Joshide.

There is no doubt that it is these memories that sustain her to stay alone in this darkness and not completely collapse.

"Yes, yes, what about the Great Elder?"

"The Great Elder is also running around for your business, so I didn't have a chance to come to see you, and everyone is, they only entrusted me to come and see you—if it weren't for that, I wouldn't be able to enter this place."

"It turns out that everyone is running around for my business...... the girl was a little moved: "Obviously, when I was in the Dragon Towns, I brought so much trouble to everyone...... It turns out that everyone's hatred for me is just words. ”

"Exactly," replied the wanderer, "when you get out of here, all misunderstandings will melt away." ”

"Really, really, Mr. Alter?"

The wanderer didn't answer, but said, "I also have some eyebrows about your parents. ”

Bang.

The girl grabbed the iron fence tightly with both hands, and was a little excited: "My parents!? Mr. Alter, what you said is true, you really helped me find my biological parents, where are they!? ”

"I've heard that they have a high status, but they also have a lot of remorse for what happened back then."

The wanderer's voice was quiet, but in the darkness, it made Fang Yu shudder:

"They had to abandon you back then, and you should know how much pressure it was on them in that environment, but they actually remember their children all the time. If you have the chance, they will be willing to recognize you. ”

"I know, I know......" said the girl, crying, "I have never blamed them, for I have such disgusting eyes, and if only I had not had the eyes of this demon." ”

"It turns out that I really have biological parents, and those people say that I am a child of the devil, which must not be true...... I should have thought of it, I was stupid. Do they still want to see me, can you tell them that I don't hate them at all. ”

"I only envy my peers who have parents, and I have thought more than once that it would be nice if I could have parents waiting for me at home......

"Yes."

The wanderer replied in a hoarse voice.

"Thank you, Mr. Alter," replied the girl, tearfully, "I don't know how to thank you." ”

The wanderer looked at the girl silently for a moment before speaking, "They don't have much time left for me, I have to go." The next time I have a chance, I'll come to see you, and when Joshud returns, we'll take you away together. ”

The girl nodded repeatedly.

But Fang Ou and Attila saw that the wanderer did not return the same way as before, but disappeared into the darkness from the other direction without looking back.

Fang Yu listened to the other party's footsteps and walked away, and silently glanced at the girl in the black prison.

He didn't know what had gone wrong with the former 'Dragon Witch' and was to be imprisoned in this place. But after this conversation, the girl's mind was obviously much lighter, and she even wiped away her tears, stood up, and walked back and forth twice in her own small world.

She clenched her fists, and returned the pear blossoms to the rain, but she couldn't help but laugh, thinking of leaving this dark underground, reuniting with Joshuad, reconciling with everyone, and recognizing her parents.

It's just that Fang Yu watched this scene as a bystander, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

He certainly understands how history works.

The figure in the black prison dissipated little by little.

Like a memory that remains here, when the obsession subsides, it finally turns into a soft sigh.

Fang Yu didn't say a word, not because he didn't want to speak, but because he didn't know how to speak for a while. He just lowered his hand and silently continued to walk forward—he knew in his heart that what he was seeing was not the end.

It's just a beginning.

He walked silently along with Attila and Lady Delis, who was walking through the darkness on her side, along with Nini on its back.

Not long after, there was a fierce argument ahead.

"You're lying, sir," it was Eve's voice, and she argued, but there was still no hint of anger in her voice. Or, rather, weakly arguing: "But I have received a letter from Joshurd, in which he says that he has arrived in Dulun, and how can you say that he has not yet left Golland?" ”

The official was still in the same gear, with a candle in his hand, and he looked at the girl's pitiful appearance, sighed and couldn't help but shake his head.

Eve thought he had nothing to say, but she couldn't help but feel a little proud: "You have nothing to say, sir?" ”

"Well, if you're willing to believe so......"

The official sighed, and he took a step back, wanting to leave.

But as soon as he took a step away, he couldn't bear it, and turned back and said:

"Listen to me, little girl, the Archon is deceiving you. As far as I know, no one has bothered to inform Mr. Joschud at all. ”

"He was received by His Majesty the King, and I have heard that Lord Karatu admires him. He took part in the April garden party and was about to travel to Al Pahin, from where he would take a boat trip to the shores of the Rod. ”

"This is your last chance, and if you still can't find someone reliable to deliver your message, it'll be too late."

With that, the officer took a step back.

He cautiously looked left and right before lowering his voice and saying, "Don't tell anyone else, I'm the one who told you all this." Orin, I'm telling you these things for my daughter's sake. ”

With that, he hurriedly turned around and left the place.

And as he crossed between the Plover and Attila.

Fang Yu noticed that the outfit on the other party's body, the red robe, made him look a little familiar.

But he looked back at the prison in front of him—it seemed that in a short period of time, the girl had changed prisons, and the conditions in this place were much worse than before. Listening to the official's words, the girl seemed a little hesitant for the first time.

She stood up and sat down again, looking a little fidgeting.

She instinctively felt that the official had not lied to him, but on the one hand, her adoptive father and companions, who should she believe? Just when she was impatient and anxious, a silent figure appeared in front of her again.

Fang Yu only watched this scene silently-

The figure 'didn't see for many days', and it was a little more slumped.

"Mr. Art," Eve looked at the man, looking a little anxious, "Joshoud, has he really received our letter, I've been waiting for so long, but there is still no news." ”

"Your Excellency, when will my sins be forgiven?"

"No," she shook her head, a little nervous, "I—I'm not guilty......"

"Don't worry."

But the wanderer's voice just didn't slow down, and it didn't even change much:

"Wait, it's already soon."

When Fang Yu heard this, he finally couldn't hold it back.

He clenched his fists and subconsciously stepped forward. But just as he was about to intervene in this scene, he heard a 'clang', and something was coming from behind him.

He couldn't help but subconsciously look back-

……
