Chapter 209: The Ring, the Attacker in the Dark

The girl finished chattering about her past with Joshide, and she and Fang Yu also happened to walk back to the place where the dragon's first scales were.

Standing in the huge natural cave, Fang Yu looked at those black and heavy crystals, thinking in his heart how to smuggle out these dragon scales, but it was not easy, these black crystals grew here in dense bushes, and he didn't know how many there were.

To mine and transport a few tons of hedron through tunnels under the noses of the Ryonists, they don't have the manpower. And the Blood Shark Pirates haven't discovered the tunnels below Idus yet, but there's no guarantee that they'll always ignore this.

He thought about it for a while, and felt that it was more important to contact Attila and them first to see if there was any good way for everyone.

At this moment, the magic power of his magic guide furnace was almost exhausted, and there was still about ten percent left, after Fang Yu took a few more glances at this place, he extinguished the lighting crystal, and in the danger area, it was a good habit to leave the last bit of magic power for emergencies.

All around was plunged into darkness.

At this time, the girl also happened to stop and asked, "...... By the way, thank you, Mr. Ed. But once you're out of this place, you're going back to the surface, right? ”

Fang Yu turned around and replied, "It should be so, is there any other problem?" ”

"No," the girl shook her head, "It's just that Mr. Eddard has helped so many people before and after, but I have nothing to thank you for, only a word of thanks." ”

Fang Yu was a little disappointed, it seemed that it was right, and this task ended here. He thought he would be able to trigger something different, but it turned out that he didn't, and although he gathered some intel in the process, the gain was much smaller than he expected.

However, he did not express this disappointment, after all, it has nothing to do with the other party, she is just a memory of staying here, what does she know?

"It's okay," Fang Yu replied along with the other party's words—although he knew that even if he didn't answer like that, it might be no different: "That seal has nothing to do with you, you're also helping others, aren't you?" ”

The girl nodded.

It's just that in the dark, Fang Yu obviously can't see either.

He just silently thought in his heart, what is the obsession of the other party staying in this place?

Is it to maintain that seal? But what exactly is that seal? Why did the other party turn into a non-physical state before approaching the seal, and then revert after the sealing ceremony ended? It was just an empty seal.

And what was the thing that was once imprisoned in the seal and then escaped? Is it the Dragon Witch's Body, but Nicol Bolas, the Dark Dragon, died in the Ashes Forest, and there are no rumors of its body being transported back to Idus.

Its horns were left in Josud's hands, its claws were in Van Rik, and the most important of all, the dragon's golden pupils were stolen by the dwarf Hageston before it ended up in Dorifin. And everything about Doriphon had already been there, and it didn't seem to have much connection to this place.

He was a little confused for a while, did he miss any clues?

Fang Yu took a breath, calmed down a little, and revisited the information he had according to the train of thought that R had taught him. The next moment, he realized a question in the direction of his own thinking—why did he always think about the seal?

Isn't the other party's obsession very clear from the beginning?

Her obsession is Joshuad.

The person she is waiting for here is always Joshud, and the bell must be tied to the bell, and only by letting Joshide return to this place can I be afraid that the real 'plot line' of this mission can be triggered. But the question is, Joshud has been dead for nearly seventy years, how can he possibly return to this place?

Or something to do with Josyud?

Fang Yuan's first thought was the most famous sword, the holy sword Galapeia, but the sword was in the hands of the innkeeper Mazak, and the traveler's rest was thousands of miles away from here, and the distant water could not save the fire.

Closer to home, there is also Van Rik Joshud who once used the dragon knight 'Shuma', but how much does that thing have to do with the girl in front of him? From her description, it can be seen that the Joshua in her memory is just the 'hairy boy' who has just embarked on the Oath Keeper's parade.

That's where the real difficulty lies.

During his travels, Joshud met some of his most important companions, including the dwarven hero Hageston, who later betrayed him, and another hero, the archmage Kalathu, and the current Elven King of Evan Quinn, the father of Princess Brian.

His legend was written almost exactly at that time-

And before that, how many people knew this dragon slaying hero? Most of the deeds collected by later generations about Joschud also began during this period, and some of the relics he left behind are also the swords and armor he used after he became famous.

But none of these things will help solve the current dilemma.

He wanted to enter the other party's memories of the Dragon Witch's time, and see what conspiracy the Dragon Cultists were involved in, unless he could come up with something that meant something to her and to Josud.

Fang Yu's heart suddenly moved, and he asked, "Eve." ”

"What, Mr. Ed?"

"Is that ring just now something that Mr. Joschud gave you?"

In the darkness, the girl's face flushed: "...... Count, sort of, although I don't like it at all, but for his sake...... You don't know, Mr. Ed, he wasn't much of a hero at the time, he was just a poor boy......"

Fang Yu thought to himself, it's strange if you don't like it, obviously you acted so important before.

But this is the witch of the dragon, and she will have a mistaken appearance, so that he feels a little funny. It's a pity that after the other party turned into a dragon, he should have completely forgotten all this.

Just as Lady Misu had forgotten Lucius, the dragon's blood had always cursed the lineage, as Mazak had said, as a haze haunted their heads. I don't know when the relatives around me have turned into enemies.

Fang Yu was silent for a long time, slightly depressed in his heart.

He didn't speak, which made the girl a little flustered: "Mr. Ed, what's wrong......?" ”

"It's nothing," Fang Yu quickly shook his head, of course he couldn't say, I just thought of the final ending between you and Josude, and I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't speak. He just replied casually, "It's just a distraction." ”

"Mr. Eddard is distracted." The girl chuckled a few times: "This is not quite the same as Josude, Joshhide is shrewd." ”

Fang Yu couldn't cry or laugh, thinking that I was trying not to irritate you, but it turned out to be good, but I was laughed at as a stupid person. Not shrewd, isn't it just slow to react, he thought to himself that he was worthy of his sweetheart, although he didn't admit it in his mouth, but he still couldn't help but praise it.

I just don't know if the dragon-slaying hero can hear it, this praise spans seventy years.

He had roughly figured out the relationship between Joshoude and the Dragon Witch, and the two of them were not suspicious, although they may not have confirmed this relationship, but obviously there was still a layer of love in each other's hearts.

Otherwise, Joshud probably wouldn't have given away the ring, and Nicol Bolas wouldn't have had to wait here for her sweetheart for another century.

It's just that when the girl opened her mouth, a picture suddenly flashed in Fang Yu's heart, he was slightly stunned, and when he reacted and wanted to capture his thoughts, the thoughts had already flashed and disappeared without a trace.

He froze.

It was as if I had grasped an important clue, but I couldn't recall what I thought at that moment. He subconsciously asked Miss Tata if she had seen anything, after all, the two were connected by heart.

Miss Tata was much more meticulous than he was, and after a moment of thought, she replied, "It's about Dorifin, Mr. Knight. ”

Fang Yu listened, and silently thought in that direction for a while, but still found nothing. The Seven Seas Brigade had gained so much in Dorifin, it was the beginning of their contact with the conspiracy of the Cultists, and the source of everything seemed to start from that moment, all kinds of clues, chaotic and complicated, and they couldn't think of a single reason.

At this time, the girl asked in a low voice, "...... Mr. Eddard, do you have any problems with the ring? ”

Fang Yu came back to his senses and thought, "By the way, the ring—" He suddenly remembered his original purpose, and then nodded and said to the girl, "Can you show me the ring, Eve?" ”

"Of course," said the girl, "after all, Mr. Ed snatched the ring, or I would have lost it." ”

Fang Yu thought to himself, I'm afraid it won't be lost if it is lost.

He knew very well that what he saw before him was just a strong will and memory that lingered here.

As long as the obsession does not disappear, any form of breaking will only make this task start again. Even if the girl dies in that place, I'm afraid he will see her in that place again when he returns to the previous hall.

The only way to break this will is to start with the obsession itself, or to completely eliminate the power that haunts the dragon witch. Surpassing a resentful soul is naturally much easier than solving the illusion of a city in Dorifin, but in this way, everything about a hundred years ago can only be buried under history.

Once the spirits of Doriphon were born out of the intrigues of the Cult of the Dragons, but in the end, it all started here a hundred years ago - Idus.

Now that he has come to this place, he has to face the obsession of the dragon witch herself again.

Fang Yu suddenly felt that there was some coincidence.

It was as if there was a power in the shadows that had made him go to the official's mansion before the Dragons in Van Rik and find the journal from the pile of ruins. One step ahead of the Blood Shark Sky Pirate, finding Nicol Bolas's Dragon's First Scale in this ancient city.

Including the girl in front of her, it seems to be a fixed number.

It may be the vision of Dorifin's resentful spirits, of all the innocent who have perished at the hands of the Cult of the Dragons, including Miss Atira's own brother, who do not want to be buried in the dust of history.

Cover up all conspiracies. And it's like a long story, now back to its roots.

Now the only question is, how did the source of this story happen?

He took the ring, and it felt a little heavier in his hand than it had then, as if something had been accumulated, but its shape had not changed. Fang Ou fumbled for the shape of the ring in the darkness, and was about to light the illumination crystal again.

By this time, the two of them had already walked back from the underground river, walked back to the artificial corridor, and returned to the original square hall.

It was also at this time that Fang Yu heard a slight sound in his ears:

An extremely low chord sound.

Without any consideration, almost instinctively, he protected the girl behind him for the first time, and pulled the other party to take a step back. On the one hand, it is habitual, although the girl is only a soul, but it is completely impossible for him to ignore it.

But more importantly, at this juncture, he must not let the mission reset, because at that moment, he had already felt something inexplicable from that ring.

As soon as he stepped back, a crossbow flew in the darkness. Since the Dark Rite had already been in effect once during the previous battle with the Dragon's minions, there was nothing to help him this time. Due to the glimmer of the magic furnace, the attackers in the darkness judged his position with great accuracy, and the arrow was almost impossible to avoid.

Just a step back, allowing him to avoid the deadliest parts slightly.

The crossbow bolt missed his throat and hit him in the right shoulder, and the right shoulder was numb, and Fang Yu felt as if it had been coated with poison. But he didn't have time to look at the records on the system to see what kind of poison he had been hit, so he only gritted his teeth and said nothing, and threw out a 'screaming banshee' with his backhand.

Pull down the goggles at the same time.

The 'Screaming Banshee' whistled and flew up, dropping floating flashbangs.

With a soft sound, it was as if a small sun had risen in the hall, although it was only a flash of light, but Fang Yu could still see three or four shadows through the blackout goggles - unlike what he imagined, the other party was not a blood shark air pirate.

The moment the flash appeared, he saw two people rolling backwards, and the other seemed to be hit by a square, covering his eyes and screaming.

The three of them were all wearing dark blue robes that he had never seen before—just the kind of robes that could only be the product of guilds and knights, and they were moving outside in such conspicuous robes.

Either the knights from all over the world, or the Guild of the Electors, and among them, the latter is obviously a larger proportion.

There was also a fourth person who appeared to be near the corner, but he couldn't pinpoint it.

These scenes are only in the moment of flashing, and it is the retina that briefly reflects the square plover. And he hadn't figured out the style of the other party's robe in his mind for a while, which guild he remembered—in fact, he didn't have time to think about it, so he only pushed the girl with his uninjured left hand and stuffed it back into the back corridor.

Then he also retreated, retreating into the corridor and sticking to the wall.

His reconnaissance skills were low, and he couldn't hear if someone was approaching this direction in the dark, and he didn't know if two of the three people who started rolling backwards had also been hit. The blinding effect of Screaming Banshee's flashbang lasts for a little over five seconds, but if you don't get hit, the opponent can launch a counterattack almost immediately.

There is no too complicated terrain on this side of the road, once he gets to the end, he doesn't have much magic power in the magic furnace, and he used the screaming banshee before, and there are still eight or nine percent left, relying on the terrain of this place, it is almost impossible to be the opponent of the three people joining forces.

Not to mention that there might be a fourth person lurking in the darkness.

Fang Yuan felt a tingling pain in his injured right shoulder, and after calming down, as soon as the effect of adrenaline passed, he immediately felt dizzy. But he didn't have time to think about it, so he took the girl and fled backwards, leaving a dead end here, if he could return to the underground river and take advantage of the complicated terrain there, maybe there would be a glimmer of life.

The girl's hearing was much sharper than his, and she clearly understood what was happening, and never said a word. It wasn't until the two of them fled that she whispered, "They haven't caught up yet, Mr. Eddard, ......are you injured?" ”

It was not difficult to hear that her voice trembled slightly.

Fang Yu nodded with difficulty, his right hand could barely be raised, and it was difficult to move, this was obviously not only the cause of the injury, but more importantly, it should be the toxin.

He only had time to open the system and take a look, and then secretly screamed that something was wrong: the system displayed an unknown toxin, which showed that his knowledge of pharmacy and knowledge of plants and minerals were not enough to distinguish the type of toxin.

Fang Yu gritted his teeth and took the initiative to mobilize his skill system, which gave him a little more clue: unknown plant toxins.

He breathed a sigh of relief, most of the animal and mineral toxins in Aitaria were related to magic toxins, plant toxins were slightly better, and people who wanted to use plant toxins would not use expensive magic toxins. The former can be dealt with with neutralizers, while the latter must be dissolved with potions or magic.

He had always prepared a toxin neutralizer, and although he didn't know if it was right or not, he still opened the lid and poured it on the wound before taking another antidote orally. After doing all this, Fang Yu felt a little better, and his arm slightly regained a little sense.

Then he nodded, and said to the girl: "I have been poisoned, and the people outside are not good, you go back to the previous place first, and I will see if I can lure them away." ”

"Mr. Ed, are you poisoned?" The girl was startled: "But you look like this, how can you deal with them?" ”

Fang Yu was silent for a moment, and he couldn't say the word 'I have my own way', and at this time, he really didn't have any certainty. First, he didn't know the origin of those people outside, and second, most importantly, he looked at his magic furnace, the light of the magic crystal, was already quite dim.

If he still has magic points, he may still have the confidence to fight those people outside, but when the Qiao woman can't cook without rice and can't use anything, what will he do to fight?
