Chapter Eighty-Five: Ascension, Resumption, and Replay III
Fang Yu lowered the curtains, turned around and said, "I have some ideas, but I still have to make sure of something before that, Miss Momiji, can you tell us about the situation here before we entered?" ”
Momiji hesitated for a moment: "If you want to talk about what happened in the illusion, you have to talk about our mission, which is actually divided into two parts." ”
"Two parts?"
Momiji nodded: "If we can't stop the Dragon Worship Sect from entering the illusion, we will continue to cause trouble for them in the illusion, which is why we entered the illusion after being attacked by the Dragon Flame Guild-" She clenched her fists. "It's just that I originally thought they were coming for the Dolipin Trio, and it was just a coincidence that they attacked us, but I didn't expect these guys to be so frustrated."
"They're not going to get better." Fang Yu whispered a word of comfort to her.
This is not true, the Knights of the Oak of Tapolis are not only superior in their own right, but also the best in the Free Guild. And it is also a member of the Rainbow Alliance, and there is also an offensive and defensive alliance of the Spear of the Silver Forest in the Elpakhin region.
Compared to that—no, it's better to say that the Dragonfire Guild can't be compared to these two behemoths at all. The spear of the silver forest still has a realistic foundation, if the former colludes with the Dragon Worship Sect, it will be called stabbing the sky.
Momiji gave him a blank look, indicating that she didn't need such clumsy comfort, and she continued: "When we entered the illusion realm, the situation was a little sudden, because we didn't expect the unplanned factor of the Dragon Fire Guild to hastily let the people of the Dragon Worship Sect take away the martyrdom mark of the Loyal One. ”
Fang Yu and the others listened silently, without interjecting, and the golden red fire on the horizon fell on his face through the gap in the curtain, like a fine golden thread.
"But when they went to Grey Oak Square, we ambushed them there once with the help of the terrain. The losses on both sides of the battle were not small, and after that they retreated into the lower town, we hibernated around the town hall. ”
"The mark of martyrdom of the faithful is in their hands." Azure sighed.
Fang Yu asked carefully, "What was the situation when you entered the Lady Fujiye Hotel on the first day?" ”
Momiji replied without hesitation, "It's the same process as normal, after the followers of the Dragon Worship Sect get the seal, they escort the mission target out of the hotel. ”
"And then you ambushed them at Greyoak Square, and the mission was interrupted?"
Momiji nodded.
"And after that?"
"After that, they tried to approach Grey Oak Square several times, but we were all repulsed," Momiji said with some annoyance, "If it weren't for the Dragon Fire Guild's people appearing as troublemakers again today, coupled with your off-site factors, we wouldn't have missed." ”
Fang Yu shook his head: "We really didn't enter by accident, Miss Momiji. ”
Momiji was stunned and looked at him puzzled.
"Sister Momiji, we actually entered with an adventure group, although there is nothing wrong with the adventure group itself, but the people who hired them should be believers in the Dragon Worship Sect, and everything in the square was planned by that person, and Mr. Hu Di should be the factor that everyone expected." Kita whispered.
"You mean they have already arranged it?" Momiji thought for a moment before realizing that this plan was one ring after another, and she bit her lip and walked back and forth twice: "Despicable, these bastards of the Dragon Fire Guild. ”
She wasn't angry, if it weren't for the Dragon Fire Guild's motives being too incredible, they wouldn't have misjudged the Dragon-worshipping Cultists' plan of action so much.
After all, if the behavior pattern of the Dragon Fire Guild was based on coincidence, it would be difficult to realize the tacit cooperation between them and the Dragon Worship Sect.
Fang Yu was not in a hurry, and waited for Hongye to dissipate his breath before asking again: "In other words, the task of the three things of Dolipin has now been completed two?" ”
Momiji calmed down and nodded.
Fang Yu asked again, "So, Miss Red Leaf, your task is actually to prevent the Dragon Worship Sect from completing this task as much as possible?" ”
"Within the allotted time." Momiji added.
"The time allotted?"
"Prevent anyone from entering Dolipin to complete this mission by December."
Fang Yu paused for a moment before he reacted, and asked a little apologetically, "Is it okay to tell me this?" I'll keep it a secret, though. ”
Momiji shook his head: "It's nothing, in fact, after accepting the commission, we also notified the other guilds of the alliance and some large adventure groups that are familiar with each other, after all, it is almost impossible to complete this task without this." ”
Fang Plover understood what she meant, the Knights of Tapolis Oak were not the only ones in Elpahin, and it would be difficult to control a 'Output Zone' (the term for the Elector, specifically an area with abundant adventure resources) for months without agreeing with the Alliance Guilds.
At this time, his expression became serious and said, "Then I still have two things to confirm in the end, will the completed task be reset?" ”
Momiji looked at him a little incredulously: "Of course not, although outsiders can still enter the illusion through the Fujiba Lady Inn, but the mission there is actually no more, haven't you also obtained the martyrdom mark of the Faithful?" ”
Sylvid, who had been thinking about it, raised her head at this time and asked, "Is there no task, or is there nothing?" ”
Momiji glanced at her and replied affirmatively, "Yes, it's empty, there's nothing left." ”
"That's not right, Sister Momiji," Tianlan said with some surprise, "We obviously triggered the quest there, those ghosts, and the Dawn Knight." ”
"What Knight of Dawn?" Momiji looked obviously unaware, looking at them in confusion.
Fang Yu stretched out his hand to temporarily interrupt Tianlan's words, he pondered for a moment, as if he was completing some clue in his heart, and then asked, "This is the last question, Miss Momiji, what are your plans next?" ”
"I don't know," mentioning this question, Momiji also shook his head a little dazedly: "Remember that the eldest brother is the commander here, we are separated from him, and there is no news from the guild community, so it is not clear what the next instructions will be." ”
"Memories?"
"It's the Nighthawk Caller you've seen."
Fang Yu always felt that he had heard this name there, and he thought for a while and asked, "Is it a unicorn person?" ”
The Unicorn is the core brigade of the Knights of Tapolis, with seventeen full members and twenty-two reserve members, which is quite a well-known brigade in the First World, and its strength is much higher than that of the Silver Spear of the Silver Forest.
Momiji nodded.
Fang Yu followed up and asked, "What about your own thoughts?" ”
Momiji thought for a moment and said, "The third step of the mission is here, I plan to defend this place first, and if nothing happens, the others should also come here to join us." ”
When Fang Yu heard this, he couldn't help but lift the curtain and look out, the golden red light reflected half of his solemn face. Then he lowered the curtain and shook his head slightly.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Momiji couldn't help but look at him. Originally, when she met this young alchemist at Traveler's Rest, she still thought that the other party was only very talented, but she was obviously a little ignorant, but at this moment, she couldn't help but hesitate.
At least in the previous conversation, the other party's thinking logic was quite rigorous, and sometimes even the places she didn't expect couldn't escape the eyes of this young man.
He seems to be maturing rapidly—
She couldn't help but take a closer look at Fang Yuan, and unconsciously, she began to pay attention to the other party's opinion—especially after exposing the collusion between the Dragon Fire Guild and the Dragon Worship Sect, which made her unconsciously feel a sense of crisis.
Fang Yu nodded. "We already know that the plans of the Dragon Worship Sect and the Dragon Fire Guild are linked together, and it is hard to imagine that they have no clue about their next plans, and their step-by-step actions may be in their hands."
Momiji pursed her mouth tightly, her brows furrowed.
Kita looked at her, a little unbearable, and reached out and pulled Fang Yuan's sleeve: "Brother Ed, don't scare Sister Hongye, we all know that the current situation is very serious." ”
Fang Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, he was really not scary, he just wanted everyone present not to be lucky.
Now that the Dragon-worshippers have completed the first two steps of the mission and released the shadow of Nicol Bolas, although the two parties have not yet reached an agreement, the purpose should not be much different.
In other words, the Knights of Tapolis Oak, including them, have an overwhelming advantage in the opponents they have to face at the moment, not to mention the dragon fire guild in the shadows waiting for an opportunity.
He did have some ideas, but before that he could make Momiji and the others see the fact before they could give up their illusions. Otherwise, disagreement can only lead to eventual defeat.
There aren't too many of these lessons in the second world.
"Tell me what you think, Eddard." Momiji raised his head and said in a somewhat hoarse voice.
Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the other party with some gratitude, she could actually not speak at all, waiting for herself to explain her opinion. But opening his mouth like this is tantamount to taking the initiative to hand over the leadership to him.
"It's going to be unclear for a while, but I'm going to try to make a long story short." Fang Yu spoke: "Momiji, do you remember what happened to us at the Traveler's Rest?" ”
Momiji looked at him a little strangely, that was only what happened a week or two ago, how could she forget. "You mean the dark dragon, Nicol Bolas?"
Fang Yu nodded: "Then do you know what will happen after letting the Dragon Worshippers complete the three-step task?" ”
Momiji shook his head a little confusedly, theoretically speaking, completing Dorifin's three-object mission was just taking away those three pieces of equipment. But this task required them to try to stop the dragon worshippers, and the knights could only do what their employers wanted, and the situation in the illusion was confusing for a while, and she felt something unusual even if she was dull.
Fang Yu looked at her expression and understood that they didn't know the inside story, so he said, "Let me answer this question, the dragon worshippers are seeking the true revival of Nicol Bolas's power, and they are looking for the eye that was lost in the battle between the dark dragon of the past and the hero Thuyod in the ruins—"
He slowed his voice and replied word by word, "...... If they succeed, the true Dark Dragon will return to the world once again. ”
"What, Dark Dragon!?" This answer surprised everyone, especially those who had lived through the Traveler's Rest event, including Momiji.
Momiji seemed to want to say something, but Fang Yu stopped her and continued: "Don't rush to ask questions yet, you should know that during the battle between the hero Thuyod and Nicol Bolas, this is described in the long poem - he held the dragon-slaying sword Galapeia, cut off one of the horns and claws of the evil dragon, and blinded it in one eye. ”
Fang Yu turned his head and looked at the little girl beside him and said, "Ji Ta, do you remember the materials you consulted in the Silver Tower Library?" The dragon is gone, but its followers have taken the dragon's severed claws, and its whereabouts have been untraceable ever since......"
Kita nodded and replied in a low voice: "This account is from the book "Galapeia, the History of the Dragon Slayer", and its recorder is the university scholar Sarandor who lives in seclusion in Feather Castle, he is a believer of Angela, and he is quite professional and authoritative in historical research, so he should not write scribble. ”
Speaking of this, she seemed to remember something, her eyes widened, and she pushed the lens of her glasses again and again: "...... The sword of the hero, the poem of history. The Hero's Sword, the Poem of History ......"
She whispered it twice in a row.
Fang Yu listened to what Kita finished speaking, and then turned back to Momiji and said, "But Nicol Bolas is still alive, and you and I saw it with our own eyes during the traveler's rest, Miss Momiji." ”
Momiji hadn't completely recovered from this sudden huge amount of information, and couldn't help but be a little dazed: "But Ed, what do you want to say......
Fang Yuan's eyes were indifferent: "I mean, assuming that everyone is not lying, if the record is also true and credible, then what will happen?" ”
"Don't forget the enemies who have passed away, for they will return—"
The old proverb, like a poem, he read it softly.
“…… More than thirty years ago, the Ryonists plotted an ulterior plan in Dorimin to resurrect Nicol Bolas. They chose this place because they found that the dragon's golden pupil was hidden somewhere in the city. ”
"Their plan must have almost succeeded, and Doriphin was reduced to a sea of fire, a devastation of life, and a resentful soul that sleeps underground."
At the same time, Mazak, who was far away in Istania, and his grandfathers, the Dragon Slayers, sensed the resurrection of Nicol Bolas through the mutation in the dragon's horns. So thirty-three years ago, they left their homeland and came to this swamp thousands of miles away to establish a traveler's rest......"
Hearing this, Tianlan involuntarily opened her mouth and covered her mouth with her hand.
As if he had seen it with his own eyes, Fang Yu slowly recounted the old scene: "But I think Nicol Bolas's resurrection was not fully accomplished, there must have been some unknown secrets in that celebration thirty years ago, perhaps a group of heroes from that era inserted into the course of history and interfered with the plans of the Dragon Worship Sect. ”
"That's why Nicol Bolas, who has not fully recovered his strength, has been carefully dormant in the depths of the swamp for the past thirty years, not daring to show it easily."
"Now that Nicol Bolas has reclaimed the Dragon's Broken Claw from her followers, and taken the Lost Horn from the Traveler's Rest, it has almost regained its prime, but only one thing is missing."
Fang Yu looked at his feet.
"It's here, it's called the Dragon's Golden Pupil, the Dark Dragon's Fire of Venus, the source of power—and it's what this illusion was born from."
He looked up again—the fire seemed to grow brighter, and a faint glow passed through the curtain and fell on his face, a little uncertain.
"But it's still hidden in the fog."
"The Dragon-worshippers wander here just to lift the fog of history and find the thing they must get," Fang Yu replied softly, "Remember the words of the unlucky ghost Jeffrey, and what we have to do is to get to the other end of the chessboard before them, and the illusion is fair to everyone-"
The sword of the hero, the poem of history; Tracing the past and lifting the fog -
It was like an invisible voice, echoing in the darkness and emptiness. It made Sylvid lift up and look at the teenager with an appreciative gaze.
"So, what does the fog mean?" Attila frowned and asked in a whisper.
And it was at this time that an unfamiliar voice came from the other side of the door.
"That's the real reason why Nicol Bolas and the followers of the Dragon-Worshipping Cult lost the Dragon's Golden Pupil in this illusion thirty years ago, and their plan ultimately fell short."
"Who?" Momiji looked over there with some vigilance, still a little angry in her heart, she arranged several sentry guards in the corridor outside - were all those people dead, and none of them reported the news? But even if they die, they should alert the rest of the guild in the party channel.
Others are also looking in that direction.
Only Fang Yu froze slightly, for the first thing he saw was the Nighthawk Elector of Tapolis who had a relationship in Grey Oak Square.
And the one who spoke was standing next to the former, a man with a mask and gray hair.
