A disgusting stench permeated the entrance to the sewers, like the aftertaste of a corpse after it had decomposed, and patina-colored moss mottled the waterlogged stone bricks and walls into the depths of darkness.

Luo Hao frowned and stood in place for a moment, and then stepped on the water path to return, took out the communication crystal, and contacted Yuwen Yu and said, "The guard at the entrance of the sewer is gone. ”

"Traces of a fight?"

"Didn't find it."

"Don't be suspicious, maybe it's just a game, I still don't understand why you care about this."

There was a rustling sound in the crystal, which seemed a little distorted.

But Luo Hao didn't think so, and shook his head: "As far as I know, this sewer can lead to the bottom of Elffindor. ”

"So what?" The tone of the other party was obviously impatient.

Luo Hao took the crystal away a little and said, "That is the core area of the spire, otherwise they wouldn't have arranged guards at this entrance." ”

"What's the matter with us?"

"Don't forget that the Dragon-worshippers may be in league with the Shadow Throne."

"But our mission is to be bullish on the Shadow Throne. And the alchemists are not stupid, they know what is going on under the spire of Elffindor, Luo Fatty, you better come back quickly. ”

Luo Hao was about to say another when he suddenly heard a wind sound. He turned around smartly, and a whistling gray light struck the communication crystal in his hand, which flew out of his hand and swirled into the water.

When he looked back, he saw that it was a gray feathered arrow, sinking into the wall, and its tail feathers still trembling.

Luo Hao broke out in a cold sweat, turned around again, and saw a long and narrow shadow walking in from outside the sewer.

The shadow struck obliquely on the ground through the sunlight, and its owner was a tall, gray-skinned lizard who looked at him condescendingly with long, cold pupils.

Luo Hao noticed that it was dragging a long spear-like tail behind it, and the tail curled and swept from side to side, just sealing his way.

But the lizard man did not have a spear-like tail, and a terrible thought flashed through his mind, and that crazy term came to him - dragon minions.

There was a chilling smile in the other party's narrow pupils, and he bent down to get in, approaching him step by step.

Luo Hao knew that the lowest level of dragon minions were above fifteen, and the one in front of him was obviously not that kind of unconscious monster, but a higher-level existence.

He glanced in the direction in which his crystal had disappeared, and it was too late. His heart moved, and he suddenly turned around and ran.

Flee deeper into the sewers.

Yu Wenyu patted the crystal in his hand a little suspiciously and frowned.

The other party unilaterally broke off contact, which made him a little uneasy. He looked in the direction of the apartment through the window, and there was still no movement on the Shadow Throne's side—just retracting his gaze, still a little hesitant. Do you want to check it out? But the tasks assigned by the head of the regiment can never be left behind.

Thinking of this, he picked up the crystal again, called up one of the communication numbers, and said:

"Commander, I have something to report......

……

Alyssa watched as the raging water of the lake converged into a wall of four or five meters high, like emerald.

And the Bai Lian I saw before was actually just a broken wave in advance.

"Hold on!" The big cat man suddenly shouted.

The waterline first reaches the inner harbor area, lifting the boats moored outside, and the smaller fishing boats and yachts seem to hang on a wall. There was a cracking sound on the wall, and he continued to shoot the Skar not far away, causing the three-masted galleon to cross and crash into the trestle.

The wood was overwhelmed in an instant, cracking and disintegrating, and several trestle bridges broke into several sections.

From a distance, it looks like the entire harbor is moving inward.

There was a panic on the docks, and Alyssa saw the workers screaming past Mr. Graystone—not far away, the tide had swept up beyond the embankment. The impact of the attack had diminished a bit as it landed, but it still pushed the behemoth sideways a few steps as it hit Mr. Greystone.

The latter let out a low chirp and slammed into one side with a bit of fear, causing the entire platform to tilt down.

A few chairs, tables, and refreshments tumbled in one direction, crashed into the side of the ship, and disappeared into the waves.

Fortunately, Rhett reminded him in time, and everyone grabbed the side of the boat on the other side to stabilize their figures.

"I'll go down and appease Mr. Graystone." Seeing this, Attila only said a word, and with a nimble movement, she tumbled off the side of the ship and climbed down the rope net of the airbag.

"Miss Attila!" Alyssa leaned out of the side of the ship and looked at the rickety ropes until Miss Elf's figure disappeared behind the magic engine.

At Mr. Limestone's feet was a vast soup, and the water had overflowed its belly, and countless pieces of wood were floating in the water.

She looked up, not knowing what was going on.

"Look over there." Baggins said in a calm tone.

Alyssa and Red looked in that direction, and saw that the first wave had passed and the water was retreating.

And the Skar was pushed to the shore and tilted to the side. In the middle of the inlet in that direction, something strange was going upstream.

Alyssa took a closer look and realized that it was a fin, a long, spiny fin.

Like a blade, it splits the current and swims towards the harbor. Their shadows can even be faintly seen underwater.

"It's the Echnomers, it looks like they want to do something."

"Don't let them come close," Red said back to Baggins, "I'll go down and protect Mr. Limestone, there's a high ground to the east, and bring Mr. Limestone in that direction." ”

"Alyssa, you go and inform Sky Blue of them."

Alyssa nodded hurriedly.

But it was at this time that the three of them heard a muffled sound at the same time, coming from the direction of the center of the lake. They couldn't help but look in that direction, and the sound before was like the clatter of a heavy object falling into the water.

But the sound came from miles away, and it didn't feel so simple.

At the same time, the three of them saw that a ridge of water was slowly rising on the surface of the glittering lake. The waters of the long lake looked heavy in the sun, and a huge shadow seemed to float through the ridge.

The previous sound of cooing has now turned into a dull roar, which continues on.

It was as if something huge was rising from beneath the surface of the lake.

The older sister of the twins gasped:

"So—what's that?"

“…… Koras. ”

Baggins looked motionless in that direction: "The god of the fishmen." ”

……

The Shadow Throne is halfway through the match against the military.

The results of the two sides have never opened up the gap, and because they do not know the strength of the military alchemists, Fang Yu and his party can't see what the strength of the other party is. However, it was obvious that the Shadow Throne team had obviously retained a lot of strength when they played against them in the auditions that day.

Chickpea was in high spirits and told others about the news he had just inquired about: "I heard that this time the format of the finals has changed a lot, it seems that it was decided by Alfin in many ways, and there are more than two teams participating in the finals. ”

Mu Lan and the others obviously didn't believe it when they heard it: "You just blow it, chickpeas, not only two, but how many more?" So what's the point of the previous knockout rounds, and the tournament organizers are not stupid. ”

"No, no," Chickpea hurriedly waved his hand: "I said that there are not only two teams participating in the finals, and I didn't say that the teams that were eliminated, but the teams participating in the main competition." ”

"The team participating in the main competition?" Mu Lan frowned and looked at this guy: "What are the participating teams participating in this competition doing, they are not short of places." ”

"So it's Elfin's decision," Chickpea replied, "Honestly, winning an exhibition match doesn't mean much, and that prize money is nothing to us." And there are only a few places in total, and by this time, the chief judge has actually already chosen someone-"

"So it was about the direction of the tournament that made the finals a little bit more meaningful, and they decided to have the two teams that made it to the finals against the main team and Elffindor's own team."

"What's the point of this duel?" Mu Lan asked.

"Of course it makes sense," Chickpea replied in a low voice, mysteriously, "I've heard that Elfin has set up a prize for this contest in many ways, and I've heard that the prize is very rich. ”

Fang Yu listened to a few people whispering on the side, and he didn't intend to interject. He had known about the play-offs for a long time, and it wasn't premeditated, but it was just a whim at the banquet in the manor yesterday.

However, the news came out so early, which still surprised him.

He was also stunned when he heard Chickpea talk about the reward, after all, there was actually a potential reward in this competition, which was to select the next generation of heirs of the Rose Workshop. Of course, from the point of view of the Council of Efendor and the Count himself, this heir should have been predetermined-

However, the competition party actually set up another reward, which is something that even he doesn't know. But after thinking about it for a while, he was relieved, after all, this was an additional competition, and it would be too strange if there was no prize.

He just didn't know if it was his teacher's opinion, but Chickpea's next words dispelled his doubts.

"It's true, I heard it from a friend," the other said, "He's been studying alchemy at the Dulun School for several years, and the standard insider, this proposal was made by the founder of the Dulun School." ”

"Pudra?" Fang Yu couldn't help but ask.

Chickpea was stunned: "Do you know Ed too?" ”

Fang Yu nodded, and couldn't help but be a little curious. He remembered that he had come out against Count Cillin-Sbicca yesterday, and he had asked Sylvid afterwards, only to learn that he was not on their side.

On the contrary, the old speaker who looked muddy was the 'insider' she bought with money.

"He's not the same as us," Silvid whispered to him at the time, "this man has always been close to the one in the north, and he and his school have always been a heretic in Elffindor. ”

He was a little sorry when he heard this, and he was still wondering if he could get the formula for the magic solution from this person.

Fang Yu came back to his senses, and Mu Lan was already dragging the chickpeas over there, and asked viciously: "Who cares about these, and what is the rich reward?" ”

Chickpea could only helplessly spread his hands when he heard this: "I don't know about this, Sister Mulan, Elfin has to keep it secret in many ways, and my friend doesn't know what the reward is." ”

"Cut, it's useless."

While a few people were talking, Fang Yu suddenly heard a low voice coming from the square.

He thought something had happened on the field, but when he looked back, he saw that several more rays of light were flying out of the spire of Elffindor, flying over the square.

It was Alffindor's alchemist - Fang Yu had seen such a scene a few days ago, and his eyes followed the direction of those streamers, only to realize that the direction should be the direction of the port area.

What's wrong?

Fang Yu was stunned.

"Someone in the VIP stands is leaving," Dill suddenly whispered, "There are still a lot of people." ”

Fang Yu looked in that direction, and sure enough, he saw that many people were coming out of the box and hurrying towards the spire of Elffindor. Looking at the clothes of those people, he basically saw that they were all big names in the Southern Alchemist Alliance.

Among them were one or two great craftsmen in gray and red coats, and the others were at least high-level craftsmen.

But apart from them, the attention of everyone in the square was drawn by the streamer in the sky, and no one noticed the details on the other side of the stands. And the two sides who were playing on the field were naturally even more distracted, completely unaware of the changes in the outside world.

Fang Yu was puzzled, and suddenly felt his communication crystal move.

He hurriedly picked up the crystal, only to find that there were two messages coming from it at the same time.

One of them is sky blue:

"Brother Ed, Sister Alyssa said there was an accident in the port area."

Fang Yu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Looks like a spiny fish man is making trouble."

"Are they alright?"

"Fortunately, the harbor has been flooded, and Mr. Big Cat Man plans to take Mr. Limestone to a dry field east of the dock."

"And then, did the Echnomers attack them?"

"I don't know, I don't think so...... Communication was cut off after that. ”

Fang Yuan glanced up, and then he realized what had happened, and he didn't know if the Acanthman had specifically taken the opportunity of this competition to attack. However, the communication over there is broken, presumably because the city's locks are being opened, cutting off the connection between this side and the port area.

However, the Ecanthmen often attack the south of Changhu Lake, and they are not high-level creatures themselves, and the Elffindor Council does not intend to interrupt the game, so the attack should still be under control.

Only then did he say, "Is there a clockwork fairy on Luo Yu's body?" ”

Tian Lan shook his head on the other side of the picture: "No, they are not allowed to bring these things into the venue, but Luo Yu has already gone to the nearest alchemy shop to find it." ”

Fang Yu nodded, there were a few clockwork goblins on him. It's just that if he releases the clockwork goblin here, he will probably be expelled from the arena, so after thinking about it for a while, he can only say, "Let Parker and the box go over and have a look first." ”

Tianlan nodded hurriedly.

At this time, the third round of the match between the Shadow Throne and the military craftsmen had already been decided, and Fang Yu glanced at the score and basically concluded that it was difficult for the military craftsmen to enter the next round. It seems that if the game is not interrupted, most of their opponents in the finals will include the Shadow Throne.

He just looked at the next message, he didn't know if he didn't look at it, he jumped when he saw it, and it was actually sent by Momiji:

"Did you make it to the finals?"

"If you get in, you wait—"

"I'll beat you up in a minute!"

This information has no beginning or end, and Fang Yu is confused.

But if it was usual, he might still be a little weak, but at this time, how could he have the heart to pay attention to this? After just one glance, he skipped this one—because it was at this time that the next message reached his crystal.

He originally thought it was another message from Tianlan's side, but after a closer look, he found that it was an ID he didn't recognize.

But how did the unknown ID get to your mailing list?

Fang Yu was taken aback, and thought that he had encountered a legendary hacker - although there was nothing that could be done with the Summoner system with the technology of this era, the communication crystal itself was actually plugged into the system.

Although the official claims that cross-border communication is the most secure means of communication, the existence of top experts who can hack cross-border communication has always been a long-standing legend in the community.

Fang Yu subconsciously thought that he had bumped into a ghost.

And that ID is called SSAT900822AX, this row of garbled characters looks a little dizzy to him, and he is familiar with the letters of SSAT, but he didn't associate this line of garbled with those familiar names for a while.

I saw that the message from the other party was:

"Mr. Ed, we want to talk to you."

"What?"

"We're ......"

Fang Yu suddenly reacted, and scolded in his heart: "Damn, cross-border fraud!" "I didn't want to think about it, so I blacklisted this ID.

He was about to put away the crystal, when suddenly, another message came into his field of vision:

"Can you talk?"

Damn, it's not over yet! Fang Yu couldn't help but be a little annoyed, but when he saw the ID of this information, he suddenly froze. The owner of that ID was added by him only a few days ago, and he remembered that the other party claimed to be an official of the Super Athletic League in Ragnarok-

The other party made some inexplicable suggestions to him at the time, and then asked him to go back and think about it, and then there was no news. Unexpectedly, at this time, the other party suddenly took the initiative to contact him.

He looked at the news, froze for a moment, and was about to ignore it. But suddenly, Fang Yu thought of those Shadow Throne contestants again, and his heart subconsciously moved, and asked:

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Help you win the game."

Fang Yu was stunned for a while when he saw this information.

He looked up, looked a little cautiously from side to side, thought for a moment, and then entered:

"No, I can win myself."

But there was a quick reply: "That's not necessarily, that young man named Rollin is not simple. ”

Fang Yu was a little surprised: "You also know him?" ”

"Of course, his origin is not simple."

"Who is he?" Fang Yu asked subconsciously.

"I can't tell you just yet," replied the man, "how about it, do you want to cooperate with us?" ”

Fang Yu pondered for a moment:

"How to cooperate?"

Although he asked so, he didn't have the slightest desire to get involved with these people.

……

And not far beyond the arena.

A military staff member with the four letters of SSAT pinned to his coat and the insignia of the Stargate Ring was looking at the communication crystal in his hand with a confused expression, listening to an emotionless prompt sound from inside:

"Communication was cut off."

"The other party has added you to the blacklist."

"Holy!" He almost didn't throw the crystal out: "This kid is too much!" ”

The companion looked at him a little speechlessly: "So what now?" ”

"What should I do?" He said angrily: "Go up and arrest people!" ”

"But what about the competition?"

"Wait until the game is over, are you stupid?"

……

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
