Chapter 173: Shadow Flame (Part II)
The man's eyes were tinged with extreme resentment, and flames swept out of his eyes and mouth, under his robes and cloak, and from under every inch of his skin. He opened his mouth and let out a soul-piercing scream, and the rising flames formed a pair of claws behind him, swinging towards the star claws with the overwhelming heat.
"Shadow Man!"
The people of the Dust Moon Guild covered their ears and lowered their heads in discomfort.
The expression on Xing's face did not change in the slightest, and he raised his sword to block it, but the blade of the entity could not separate the flames, and the flames still swept towards him from both sides.
Star had to step sideways, letting the claw sweep in front of him, leaving three burns on his chest, revealing the chainmail underneath.
The flame followed, and the star blocked three more swords, but still the other swept past him, and the flames struck his right hand, turning the sleeve of his coat to ashes, and the black powder disappeared with the wind.
But before the man could rejoice, he saw a pair of constructed gauntlets peeking out from under the black dust, and the giggets were holding the sword tightly, and the blade of the sword had turned red in the fire, almost melting, and was stabbing at it.
Not surprisingly, the blade pierced the man's flaming body, but did little harm to him. It's just that Xing suddenly let go of his sword at this moment, and a bright green light suddenly bloomed in the armor of his right arm.
The light pierced through the burning man's body, causing it to let out a hysterical scream, as if it was too frightened to stabilize its form.
It's just that the screams are like a sharp tone of fingernails scraping against a blackboard, and it doesn't make sense other than making people dizzy.
At this moment, Xing pulled out another sword in his left hand and stabbed forward at the same time.
The flames engulfed his left hand, but the sword also pierced the opponent's lower abdomen - the man had completely turned into a flame form at this moment, but the sword still seemed to hit the entity - the flames parted as far as the blade reached, revealing a spiritual shell.
The screams in the flames turned into terrible and painful screams, and almost all at once they collapsed into a human form, and fled to the outfield in a panic.
It initially targets the other members of Moondust.
It's just that Gray Lin has been wary of this for a long time, and immediately took off the halberd and held it in his hand. The scattered flames seemed to be a little afraid of the other party, and they turned around and threw themselves at the person standing on the other side.
With this turn, there were only two people left in front of him.
One is Sylvid and the other is a square plover.
Fang Yu had just seen the flame rolling towards the side of the moon dust, but before he could react, he saw that the other party was rushing towards him.
Still, he almost subconsciously stepped forward and got in front of his ship's officer.
"You brought it on yourself!"
A gloomy voice, as if with endless negative emotions, was hovering in his head, and the sharp voice almost pierced the brain.
Darkness filled his vision like a tidal wave.
It was as if he had suddenly fallen into an endless pitch-black world, and in the center of that world, there were only two purple eyes like nebulae.
It's just that before the cold voice could finish speaking, it suddenly changed to a frightened tone: "Wait, what is this!?" β
"Where did she come from!?"
"How could she sign a contract with you!?"
"No, don't come here!"
"Ahββ!!h
Before Fang Yu could figure out what was going on, a pair of small flaming fists smashed a hole in the pitch-black world with one punch.
The darkness cracked like collapsing glass, and under the light of the pure spiritual world, the figure of his good daughter appeared behind the collapsed world, and the fangs and claws pounced up, revealing the white little canine teeth, and biting on the purple flame.
She wagged her little flaming tail, and with three strokes and five divisions by two, the purple flame was completely dismantled.
The shadow in Fang Yuan's eyes was fading, and the shrill voice seemed to fade away, and then he saw a pair of eyes as blue as the shallow sea, looking at him with gentle and worried eyes.
and every gaze of astonishment and awe that fell on him, far and near, and the stars that came in the midst of these gazes.
"What just happened?"
Fang Yu asked his ship officer in a bit of a daze.
Sylvade smiled and shook her head, she really couldn't describe the scene with him, and when the flames swept towards him, two phantoms appeared on him.
But most people ignored the second one, a tall girl covered in flames, and Miss Purser could only roughly recognize Nini's shadow from the horns.
It's just that the second shadow is completely hidden under the first phantom, and the white-gold holy icon, and the golden sun giant sword in his hand, are almost like the rumored thing:
"White Knight."
"What?" Fang Yu was taken aback: "How did I bring that thing out of Descartes' dream, isn't it a product of the structure in the spiritual world?" Miss Tata, does she know what's going on? β
Sylvid shook her head, "Miss Tata doesn't know either. β
Fang Yu frowned suddenly, he thought that after the battle of Isotani, everything that happened in the sea of silver sand was long in the past.
The battle in the kingdom of Descartes, everything is like a dream, and the power he had in the dream has of course long since disintegrated with that dream, and it has drifted away like the wind.
But the impact of that dream seemed to be far deeper than he had imagined, and what did the battle he experienced in that dream leave on him?
It was true that he had gotten a blueprint from that battle, but it was like a simple entry in his system, and he couldn't even click on it.
It was there, but it was like it had never existedβ
He thought that he had been influenced by Miss Tata's memories, and that the blueprints of the two prototype dragon knights were already in the large library of the Silver Tower, which was guarded by Miss Dragon Soul.
However, Miss Tata's memories have not been fully recovered, so he can only know that there is such a blueprint, but he cannot see its specific details.
But what we have experienced today seems to show that there is much more to this secret.
How can everything experienced in a dream manifest itself in reality? Although it was only a phantus, it showed that the laws of reality had been affected by some force unknown to him.
He had thought that Miss Tata's greatest secret was one of the seven fairy dragon souls she had created as a craftsman of the Silver Tower.
But judging by the attitude of Flagg and the Warlocks of the Council of Stars and Moons not long ago, and what is happening so far, it seems that there is more to her hidden secrets than that.
Fang Yu couldn't help but be a little curious, what was the origin of his Miss Dragon Soul, but unfortunately Miss Fairy had a limited memory - the two were connected by heart, and what she didn't know, he naturally didn't know.
But now it seems that another layer of misunderstanding has been formed-
Those eyes that fell on him seemed to have identified himself as a dragon knight - he not only had a dragon soul, but even a dragon knight now.
Although the dragon knight only has an illusory shadow, isn't this also in the first world, and the dragon knight's power in the first world is already suppressed, isn't it?
The elite members of the Moon Dust Guild looked at him at this moment, and they already had a completely different meaning, if they were just looking at him the same before, they already had some eyes looking at monsters at this moment.
Yes, not some legendary newcomer.
It's not a rising star either.
It's monsters.
One year dragon knight.
He's only been in this world for a little over a year, and he's already a dragon knight, is there a precedent for that in the history of Aitalia?
The point is, fucking this is still a newcomer who doesn't belong to a guild, where did his dragon soul and dragon knight come from?
As for others, even if they are young and promising like Basalt, their qualifications as dragon knights are inherited from the previous generation of dragon knights in Moon Dust. When you think about it, it's no wonder that other people want to swear.
But of course this is a misunderstanding, Fang Yu does have a dragon soul, but the origin of this dragon soul has nothing to do with him seriously, but someone gave it to him.
And if it weren't for the chance encounter with the Zero Crystal, he wouldn't have become a dragon knight.
As for the Dragon Knight Build, it is even more impossible to exist, unless the Seven Seas Traveler is counted, it can barely reach a side.
But in fact, the Seven Seas Traveler is still about ten years away from the real fairy dragon knight.
But such a misunderstanding can't be explained, he can't say that I am not actually a dragon knight, but a fairy dragon knight, so naturally there can be no dragon knight construction in the traditional sense.
What's more, if others mistakenly think that he is an ordinary dragon knight, maybe it is better to hide his identity on the other side of Miss Tata.
It's just that the next trouble will not be less because of this.
However, Fang Yu thought of something else, he thought of Miss Tata's origin: "By the wayβwasn't that crystal dagger given to him by Miss Mia?" β
"Maybe Mia will know where Miss Tata came from?"
He kept this matter in his heart, and made up his mind to wait for this matter, and he must contact Miss Mia again, and be ready to ask the other party about it.
But Miss Mia was always uncertain, he didn't even know what the other party was doing, and sometimes the other party would seem to disappear and not reply to any news for months.
The witch of the sea in people's mouths seems to be able to barely contact each other only when they take the initiative to think of him.
Fang Yu was thinking about this matter a little distractedly, when he suddenly felt a darkness in front of him, and a tall figure blocked in front of him.
Fang Yu raised his head a little unexpectedly, and just as he saw the stars looking him up and down, the other party pursed his lips silently, and only after a long time did he watch him drop a sentence: "What a monster." β
He turned around and suddenly whispered, "I didn't expect that Scholar and Chenlu would have such a son as you, I guess they would be quite interesting if they were still alive, especially your mother." β
Fang Yu didn't hear clearly at first.
But when he heard the last sentence, it was like a thunderbolt just happened to hit him, making him tense, and after a long time, he asked as if he had been stabbed: "You, what did you say?" β
His voice trembled.
Xing looked back at him again, as if he had expected his reaction: "You asked me who I was last time, but I didn't answer you. But Scarpe got in touch with me, and she found out who you were and asked me to protect you. β
"Miss Scarpet!"
Fang Yu felt that he was almost speechless, and he finally knew who Xing was talking about, and who he was thanking was.
He never thought that that person would be Miss Scarpet, but when the name came out of the star's mouth, he had a sense of taking it for granted.
I seeβ
The two Dawn Stars are indeed related. What he had been speculating and suspecting all along, it turned into reality at this moment.
Countless mixed thoughts poured out of Fang Yu's heart, he opened his mouth, but suddenly felt a hand holding him, and when he looked back, it was Sylvide's determined and encouraging gaze.
The bright eyes seemed to fall into the depths of his heart, and it finally freed him from the tight restraints, Fang Yu took a breath and asked, "Captain of the Star Cluster, do you know my parents, they are really also the Electors?" β
"They're just ordinary Electors, no different from most of the Electors you've ever met, there's nothing to hide. Your father's ID is called Traveler, and your mother's ID is called Morning Dew, and they used to be members of my group. β
Xing shook his head, a reminiscing look in his eyes, "If you are interested in your parents' experiences in Aitalia, you can talk to me about them when you have time, but those experiences may sound a little ordinary or even boring to you. They can't even compare to you, and of course, there may not be many people in this world who can compare to you in terms of experience. β
Fang Yu heard the hidden appreciation in the other party's tone, and nodded hurriedly, of course he was willing, it was his parents.
Although his uncle and aunt rarely mentioned anything about his parents, although everything before the age of six was quite distant, even the other person's voice and smile were blurred in his memory.
But in his veins, the one who gave him life, the one who gave him his name, the two gentle figures, can never be erased from his heart.
Fang Yu felt that his eyes were a little astringent, and he couldn't help but turn his head away and wiped it with his hand.
He would never have imagined that among the familiar IDs of owls, snails, birds of prey, Age, apothecaries, shields, travelers, and travelers, there would be a loved one of his own.
own father.
The traveler, the man who translated the slate, turned out to be his father who translated the slate of the deep sea by hand.
So the hand-copied atlas, the notes that were exactly the same as the diary left by Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess, why it appeared in her uncle's study, everything was logical.
His parents turned out to be members of the Dawn Star, and his first stop in this world turned out to be the Dawn Star of Scapet and Mr. Quelod.
The kind of coincidence that precipitated in time made him feel a subtle feeling in his heart, like two invisible eyes, silently watching him from behind this world.
"Miss Scarpet," Fang Yu asked in a somewhat hoarse voice, "is she okay?" β
"She's fine," replied Star, "that girl is bouncing around, and maybe you'll even see her soon." β
"I ...... Can I see Miss Scarpet? β
Fang Yu paused widely, didn't Miss Scapet have already left Aitalia, once people leave this world as the Elector, after the starlight has faded, they can't even return as tourists again.
And this is the sorrow of the Elect, but how can Xing say that he will see the other party soon, and he has no plans to return to the side of Xingmen for the time being?
Xing nodded, but didn't intend to dwell on the topic: "You'll understand then, but now is not the time to talk about this." β
He walked over to Fang Ou and bent down to pick up something from the ground, it was a rather beautiful crystal, crystal clear, and there seemed to be a faint flame color inside.
"Shadow Flame, isn't it pretty? It's the only thing left behind of the Shadow Man after he has vanished from this world," Star said, picking up the crystal, "The flames you see are actually the light of Starlight, and the Patriarch has only told you part of their origins, and of course, there are some things that he may not know himself." β
"The origin of this world," Star shook his head, "it may be much more complicated than you think." β
Fang Yu heard it a little foggy.
And the people from Gray Lin and Yuechen over there also came over, but the conversation between Xing and Fang Yu was almost only between the two of them, and it was not heard by outsiders.
And the other party is looking a little confused at the moment, but he doesn't really care about this side.
Yuechen and his party had just been opposite to Fang Yu and the others, but now the two sides seemed to be standing together again, although they didn't say they were embarrassed, they didn't know how to speak for a while.
What's more important is that everyone looked at the flame-colored crystal in Xing's hand and couldn't help but be a little silent.
ββ¦β¦ The crystal," finally stood up and broke the silence, "May I ask what was going on......
"I think this little guy has made it clear enough that those things have been lurking among you for a long time," Xing replied lightly, "You high-level, you inside, at this moment, no one can be trusted. β
"But we are the Chosen One......"
"What about the Chosen One?" Star asked rhetorically.
The crowd was speechless.
Most people don't know the guy, but there are always a few of them who are members of other clubs, or even people who originally came from the same Academy.
'I-I seem to know him,' stammered one of them, "he didn't get involved, I've seen him in the Academy. β
"How can that ......?"
But how is it impossible?
The facts are happening right in front of them.
Everyone's faces, including Gray Lin, were a little ugly, just like Fang Yu's reaction when he first heard similar news, most people didn't dare to believe what the hidden message was at first?
But after going through so much, Fang Yu seemed a little calm when he heard all this again, and even Hongye and Xiaokong behaved much better than Yuechen's people.
Fang Yu looked to the side, only to see that Xing was also silent and calm.
The other party was looking at these people and said, "After clearing this trouble, the city guards are coming over soon, do you want to stay here, or do you want to go with us?" β
The people of Moon Dust looked at each other, and the huge reality shock made them a little uncertain for a while, and reason told them that this could never happen in front of them, but the fact was that everyone saw that the shadow man was born from between them.
Only Gray Lin calmed down first, looked at the star and the plover, and then nodded:
"I choose to believe Call Order Five."
