Chapter Ninety-One: A Search
When it comes to the shadow man who can devour souls and transform into humans, Fang Yu remembered another thing in his heart, the grandfather of the lich Donde, didn't they meet that wanderer in Idos, isn't this also the kind of existence? I just don't know what the true face of the wanderer is, whether it is a mortal who has fallen into darkness, or a monster who has turned into a human?
The owner of the inn has described the appearance of the filmmakers as 'like intertwined light and shadow, changing flames', and it is rumored in the community that they are 'unpredictable, possess high intelligence, and can communicate in a sharp voice', but unfortunately there are no pictures and videos of this.
"By the way," interrupting everyone's discussion about the Crowclaw Temple, Fang Yu suddenly asked, "What is the 'redeemed'?" β
"Was that woman who said that?" Luo Hao shook his head, "I searched with relevant keywords, but there are no clues. β
"No clues?" Fang Yu was a little surprised that there would be some more out-of-the-way information in the community, and the number of such information entries was very small, or there was a lot of false information in between, but it was quite rare that this situation could not be found at all. Unless, the term is made up by the other party.
"I've looked up synonyms, homophones, or words with similar meanings, and the closest one is a church force called the 'Salvation Army,' but this organization only operates in the territory of Assyria, and obviously has nothing to do with it." Luo Hao replied.
Fang Yu nodded in understanding, and was about to speak, when suddenly a shadow blocked the door of the inn, blocking the light coming from that direction.
There was a sudden silence in the hall, and people silently turned their heads to look in that direction, only to find that blocking the door was a group of gray knights wearing black and white robes.
"Check the fugitives."
The knight at the head said in a hoarse voice, with a peculiar metal-piercing texture in his voice, and I don't know if it was because of the helmet mask.
He had a bunch of gray feathers on the top of his helmet than the others, a half-gray feather cloak on his right shoulder, and the armor on his body was more delicate, and the magic furnace behind him was covered with a cloth, so that the model number could not be seen, and a red-eyed raven was embroidered on the drape.
The knights rushed in, and the innkeeper froze behind the counter, not moving. "Raven Knight." Luo Haobi looked at the pictures on the community, and then touched Fang Yu with his elbow and pointed in that direction to him. Fang Yu looked at the knight who was the leader and nodded knowingly.
The Grey Knight is divided into upper, middle and lower ranks, and the Raven Knight is the command class among them.
The knights entered the hall, and by their orders the guests left their seats one by one. The knights looked at the people one by one, and they were more severe with the natives, and they were a little more lenient with the Electors, who did not even have to leave their seats, but only had to cooperate with the inspection.
In such a situation, the Electors judged the situation and did not choose to attack. The knights were sifted through one by one, and soon came to the table of the Seven Seas Brigade.
Ai Xiaoxiao straightened up nervously, looked at these people with some uneasiness, and didn't even dare to take a breath of air-
But the others were old gods, perhaps accustomed to such a situation, and even Kita didn't look at these people much, only holding a history book and reading.
The Raven Knight paced over with his sword in one hand, and the metal foot clattered to the ground, sounding a little creepy in the quiet of the hall.
"Everyone, please cooperate with us in checking," the knights surrounded them, looking them up and down. But it was still the Raven Knight who spoke, and his voice still had that metal-piercing texture, like a buzzing in his eardrums, "Put down what you have at hand." β
"We've done that." Luo Hao replied.
Fang Yu turned his head and looked at the other party at this time. The Raven Knight wore a heavy helmet, and his face was unsightly, except for a pair of eyes exposed. It was a pair of slightly burnt eyes, and the eyelids were dry and crusty in the bitter cold weather.
He looked at these eyes and felt a sudden feeling of uneasiness in his heart, and it was at this time that the crow knight suddenly stared at them and asked, "Have I seen you somewhere?" β
"Indeed," replied Fang Yuan, "it was in the square before. β
"You've been to previous trials?" Raven Knight asked in a hoarse voice.
"Is there anyone here who hasn't attended?"
"But I don't know you," replied the Raven Knight, "that you are strangers?" β
Fang Yu nodded: "Indeed, we have just arrived here. β
The Raven Knight's scorched gaze turned to Sylvid to the side, and there was a greedy look in his eyes, lingering on the latter for a long time. Fang Yuzheng frowned, seeing that this guy suddenly stretched out his hand, wanting to lift the veil of Miss Ship Officer.
At this moment, a silver light flew by, and the Raven Knight immediately withdrew his hand alertly, looking at the 'buzzing' structure flying in front of him. The 'Silver Bee' was surrounding him with a threatening attitude, as if it would attack without hesitation if he went any furtherβ
The movement here caught the attention of the others.
"Combat Artisan." Someone whispered.
"We are the Electors," Fang Yu replied with a slight drop in his gloves and a glance at the other party.
The Raven Knight was slightly stunned, then nodded and straightened up again, as if nothing had happened before. "Have a nice meal, and may the storm be with youβ" His gaze paused when it fell on the emblem on the knight's chest not far away, "Sister. β
Maye glanced at them.
"I don't like these guys, they make me feel bad......"
Watching the last two knights walk out of the hall, Parker couldn't help but mutter.
"It's as if someone feels good about them, a bunch of color embryos," Azure snorted, "if I were Brother Ed, I'd teach them a good lesson." β
"Sky Blue, Brother Ed is also for us." Kita put down the history book in her hand and explained.
"I don't need you to explain, Kita, you really are," Tianlan said angrily, "Of course I know, so isn't it that I'm not Brother Ed?" β
This realistic statement left everyone speechless for a while.
The atmosphere eased up, and suddenly there was a gurgling sound on the table, and everyone looked back, only to find that it was Ai Xiaoxiao who was so frightened that her upper and lower teeth were trembling. Seeing everyone's eyes, her face couldn't help but turn red, but she couldn't control herself and stammered: "Big cousin, I'm ...... Isn't it embarrassing? β
Sylvest smiled and shook her head, "At least you didn't show it before, you're pretty brave compared to most of us. β
Everyone couldn't help but think of what it was like to enter this world for the first time.
Indeed, compared to this little girl with a big heart, some of them are not as good as each other.
Only Fang Yuan, the first time he participated in the adventure was the big scene - the Changxia War.
After the battle of the elven ruins, it was the brigade that faced the spear of the silver forest, the war group of half of the Jeffrey Redcoats, the giant structure, the dead zone, the top masters from the second world, really colorful, and even allowed him to survive the chaos.
It is estimated that there are only a handful of newcomers with such an experience.
However, Fang Yu was already calm now, and he was not proud of this little thing, he looked at the noble lady on the side, and only asked, "Are you okay?" β
"It's okay," Sylvid chuckled and shook her head, but replied playfully, "But with me, I'm afraid there will be a lot of things like this in the future." β
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
I don't know whether to say that my ship officer is free and easy, or is it overconfident?
But was the Raven Knight really greedy for Sylvaid's appearance just now, he always felt that there was an inhuman color in the other party's gaze.
Thinking of this, Fang Yu looked at everyone, and pressed his hands to indicate that he had something to say. The people sitting around the table of the Seven Seas Brigade fell silent when they saw that their commander was about to speak.
Fang Yu then spoke: "Everyone, let's get back to the topic, the situation in this area looks a little unusual, although they may not have anything to do with us, but the evil star is coming, and now the chaos in Tarun has been revealed, we had better be prepared and take precautions." There are some concerns about the circumstances just mentioned, whether it's the Shadow Man or the Ravental Temple, which, while hostile to the Cult of the Dragons, is not necessarily credible and of dubious origin. β
"Brother Ed, what are you going to do?" Azure asked.
"Gather information," Fang Yu replied, "We will stay here for two days, and then return when the wind and snow have stopped, and try to gather relevant information before that, but we had better not get involved in the relevant matters until everything is investigated." β
"What about procuring supplies?" Alyssa asked.
"The number of people who purchase supplies can be reduced, and Sylvid and Sky Blue can be in charge, Miss Shesta will trouble you to take care of them, and the rest of the people will be scattered in groups of two to find out the news."
Shesta glanced at him.
"Is that me, too?" Ai Xiaoxiao asked a little curiously.
Fang Yu nodded and said to Miss Nightingale, "Alyssa, you take a little one, as for Parker, you and the box are in a group, remember not to cause trouble, Luo Yu," he looked at Luo Yu on the side again, "You and I are in a group." Luo Yu was slightly stunned, and then nodded.
"Great!" Ai Xiaodao: "Am I in a group with Miss Elisa?" β
"Be honest," Alyssa tapped her forehead, "remember not to hold me back." β
Ai Xiaoxiao only nodded like pounding garlic.
Parker muttered to himself that he had never caused trouble.
"And what about me, Mr. Eddard?" At this time, Mei Yi put down the dishes, dipped her fingertips with a handkerchief, and raised her head to ask.
"Miss May, you are extremely powerful, you can decide freely." Fang Yu thought for a moment and replied.
"Then can I act with you and Mr. Luo Yu?"
Fang Yu was slightly stunned, and then nodded - he planned to go to the forest to investigate the whereabouts of the shadow man, it was a good choice to be accompanied by a powerful helper like Miss Knight.
Kita looked at this side and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, did Brother Ed forget her?
"Ji Ta," Fang Yu looked at her, "you and Luo Hao's group, you stay in the inn to analyze the information and pay attention to the information in the community, I will let Miss Tata stay and help you." Luo Hao is good at organizing information on the community, you are a naturalist, you can give full play to your strengths. β
"But can I help Miss Tata?" Kita looked at Miss Fairy sitting at the table a little nervously.
Tata quietly put down the silver teacup in his hand, raised his head, and looked at her with a dream-like gaze, "Miss Kita don't worry, we all have our own strengths. β
At this moment, a man sitting at another table not far away looked at this scene and nodded, Fang Yu nodded one by one, looking orderly, and in his opinion, he had the appearance of a somewhat qualified regiment leader. "Not as good as it could be." And a certain lady beside him said lightly.
The man looked back a little amusedly, "Why do you only say that?" β
"That's true," the latter replied, "Xiao Yu should have an excellent team, and it's not enough to be good. β
"But I think it's pretty good."
"It's wrong, you'll have to see it."
"You're too strict, too."
"It's better to be strict than to look at the wrong person."
The man shook his head and sighed softly.
β¦β¦
Fang Yu assigned everyone's work, but gave everyone half a day off first, giving everyone half a day of free time.
They had traveled all the way from Galeit, most of the way in the wilderness in the harsh weather, eating and sleeping in the open, not everyone was exhausted, but most were exhausted.
As soon as they entered the town, they first found a place to stay, and originally planned to take a good rest, take a pleasant hot bath to warm up, and then eat something good, and treat themselves. But I didn't expect to encounter so many things as soon as I came to Gray Owl Town, and I haven't been free until now.
And the town is short of supplies, and the long-awaited meal has become unpalatable, and hot baths seem to be impossible to count on, but in any case, rest is the minimum need. Even if you buy supplies, you have to wait until you have recovered your spirits.
Fang Yu handed out the keys and told everyone that they were free to move around during this time, but they had to return before eight o'clock in the evening to report. At the same time, he told the box to be optimistic about the Paparals, and not to cause trouble.
After experiencing the previous encounter, Fang Yu did not trust the security of this place so much. The filmmaker doesn't care, but there must be dragon-worshipping cultists behind it - this has almost become an iron law, and a place that looks peaceful and peaceful on the surface may not necessarily have any conspiracy behind it - not to mention the chaos has been revealed, and evil is rampant in the north?
The Ravental Sanctuary doesn't seem to be trustworthy, and while it may not necessarily have anything to do with the Dark Cultists, it may not have any other conspiracy. At least until he understands the situation, he won't get involved easily.
There is no doubt that Fang Yu was prescient.
While most people are exhausted and need a good rest, there will always be a group of people who seem to have endless energy. The Paparals are undoubtedly the best of them, and they even have one of the racial talents that are not easily tired, as opposed to the more capable human talents.
It was a real racial gift, not of the kind one one claimed to be, but it had the negative effect of having a great appetite, which even Miss May was immune. It is not a rumor that the Paparals in Sanshak eat five meals a day.
Anyway, after eating and drinking, the Paparals ran out in idleness, taking with them some emotionless robot - for some reason, a magician boy who was a human but also seemed to never know how to be tired.
The two said they were going out to 'find out for information' - but in fact it was just shopping, and by the way, not doing good things.
St. Eulinus Square β
Parker was stooping down to pick up a pebble and throwing it away, grunting and grumbling: "I think he has some prejudice against the Paparals, who are known to be exemplary of self-preservation, and in Sanshak every Papalar is polite and courteous, close to his neighbors, and will never easily cause trouble; It's a blatant slander, a stereotype, and even though I occasionally steal something and help you keep some small things, it's not my intention, it's just an instinct, you know - I'm a believer in the god of prodigality, you know? β
Covering himself tightly with his pointed wizard hat and erected coat collar, the wizard boy withdrew his gaze from the thrush on the shoulder of the statue in the square and nodded slowly.
"I knew you would understand."
Parker said with some please.
He patted the snowflakes on his hands and said, "You wait for me here, I'll do something and I'll be back soon." β
The box looked at the sneaky guy, thought for a moment, and nodded.
"Ha," Parker exclaimed, "I knew you were my best friend!" β
"But the head of the regiment told us not to cause trouble."
"Don't worry, I don't get into trouble," the Paparal man clapped his chest loudly, "I'm just going to do what a Paparal is supposed to do...... By the way, do you still have money? β
The box nodded, and took out a few silver coins from his left pocket, and a few more from his right bag, and handed them over. Most of the Seven Seas Brigade's property is communal, but everyone still receives a 'salary' each month.
"Good brother," Parker said excitedly, "I'll treat you to a snack later." β
He stuffed the money into his pocket with his short hand, patted his belly, and walked very imposingly to the bakery not far away.
The box has long been accustomed to such situations, and he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with it, and his equipment is either called or made by Fang Yuan, and he usually doesn't need money.
He only looked to the side a little boredly.
Greyowl Town had two squares, the other they had been to before, and it was the center of the town. And this square is more like an unexpected discovery after they stumbled through a gloomy alley.
It's more like a scene out of an old photograph than the bustling parts of the town, with narrow alleys and dark stone walls on one side and towering and dilapidated temples in gray squares on the other, with cold stone statues in a cold and dark style.
This may have something to do with the town's rich history, with the low stone walls that surround the town built centuries ago and run through a river that runs through the town β shaping the full picture of this historic town.
Although it is only a small place, it was actually established earlier than the port of Gula. Several old streets and alleys dot the city, which may seem to wither in winter, but today there are tens of thousands of people living in the area.
The box looked at the road sign hanging at the entrance to the plaza, with the name of the plaza written in local script, and he only thought the name was familiar, but he didn't know that Olinus was a subordinate god of Mirera, the Sage, who had fallen in the battle of Athelin.
He was stunned when suddenly a bakery not far away opened the door, and a short figure came out of it.
The short, thin figure made a face to face with him, and suddenly froze in place.
The box was slightly stunned, and looked at the little girl who was holding a basket of black bread and staring at him blankly.
