Chapter 91: The Battle of the Break V
When Shesta ended the fight with an elbow that knocked the last of the Dragon-worshippers to the ground, the short exchange in the woods was over.
The four dragon-worshippers were not of high rank, and Miss Maid alone managed to take care of two of them, Parker shot one who tried to escape, and Fang Ou and Momiji worked together to subdue the remaining one.
Fang Yu dragged aside the dragon-worshipping cultist who had been beaten half to death by the red leaves and asked a few things briefly, about some information related to the obelisk in the Traveler's Swamp, but he didn't gain much.
These men were all fanatics, with stubborn brains, and could scarcely ask for useful information other than to inflict a vicious curse on them.
Fang Yu could only frown and watch the man lose his breath.
Sylvid then walked up to him and said, "Don't be discouraged, it's not for nothing. She crouched down against her skirt and flipped the man's body over, flipping through each pocket with her hands and feet.
But apart from a few letters that don't make any sense, there is nothing else useful.
The corpses and letterheads quickly dissolved into specks of light, leaving only a few belongings in their place.
The aristocratic girl also looked down on these things, and picked up the silver coins and copper plates with her slender fingers and threw them to Fang Yu for disposal. Fang Yu did not refuse, and hurriedly put them away one by one.
The latter also asked hypocritically: "Sylvid, won't you take a little of these trophies?" β
Sylvid smirked and squinted at the goofy fellow.
This guy is so poor that he is like a 'Ravenhall adventurer', which is the disdain of the people of the royal capital for those young people who come from the central part of the kingdom and come out with nothing but energy, but she finds such people surprisingly cute.
At the end, Fang Yu asked, "By the way, how can you say that you haven't found nothing?" β
Sylvide thought for a moment: "I know these people in general, they are stubborn, rigid in their thinking, or they think they don't need to disguise, but they inadvertently leak a lot of information. β
"Lots of information?"
"Lying is a very delicate art, especially in the language of organization, the captain may wish to recall the process of interrogating him, did the man not hesitate at all from the beginning?"
"That's right, I asked him about the obelisk, and the guy didn't even blink an eyebrow, and he was cursing me all the time." Fang Yu teased himself bitterly.
However, his brows quickly furrowed, and after a while, he said abruptly, "Wait, you mean they don't know at all?" β
Sylvide smiled slightly: "Analyze it again?" β
Fang Yu shook his head: "Actually, this is the norm, I didn't expect them to know anything. β
He thought for a moment and then said, "...... Fawkes should know much more than these people, but his level is too high, and the fake identity left by that person in the Elpahim Craftsman Guild is also higher than the Momiji level, and the real level is at least around level twenty. If Parker hadn't had that poison dagger, I wouldn't have dared to set such a bold trap. β
Sylvid shook her head slightly and said to him, "This is just superficial information, don't be confused by superficial things." β
"Superficial?"
"I remember the captain was very analytical, and the previous discussion about this task was very good, and people are the same. Why don't they know, might as well think about it again? β
Fang Yuan's brows locked together again: "Because they're just little minions?" Wait, let me think about it......" He took out the Zealot's mark of sacrifice and carefully examined it.
Because of the existence of this mark, there is no doubt that the death of Attila's brother has something to do with the dragon-worshippers, but these people are completely unaware of the obelisk matter, which does not seem to be explained by a low position.
Minor characters may have limited knowledge of high-level plans and purposes, but once they have experienced relevant things, at least they will not be ignorant of them.
And the other party's previous performance was not so much a deliberate concealment, but a complete ignorance of the plan behind the obelisk, could it be that these people really had nothing to do with the death of Attila's brother?
"These people are actually two groups of people from those dragon worshippers who might have killed Kidd?" After a while, Fang Yu reacted and asked with some surprise.
Sylvid shook her head: "Not really, they are all dragon-worshippers, and they all work for Nicol Bolas, so it can't be completely unrelated, can it?" β
Fang Yu pondered for a moment before concluding, "In this way, these should be two unrelated plans. What exactly did the Worshippers put in the Traveler's Swamp and needed so many layouts? β
Sylvid smiled lightly, "That's the answer to another question, but you see, isn't it that we're not for nothing?" β
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, then he had a feeling of smooth thinking, he didn't expect that there would be such a way of reasoning in the opposite way, and he looked at the aristocratic girl with some amazement: "There is a very famous saying in our community: 'When an answer is inconsistent, it often means that you have found the key to the problem. 'Miss Sylvide, you're amazing. β
He really had a feeling of convincing, and it was Sylvid who reminded him through Parker that he had thought of talking to Fawkes before he did it.
If it weren't for the viciousness of these people's mouths, they wouldn't have been able to ask for any valuable information.
In response to Fang Yuan's words of praise, Sylvid just smiled lightly, and winked playfully, as if he was a member of the team: "This is what I should do, Captain." β
couldn't help but make Fang Yu's very embarrassed colleague, and his good impression of this reasonable aristocratic lady increased greatly.
Everyone hastily cleaned up the battlefield before gathering together again.
Since the threat of the dragon's golden pupil was still there, Fang Yu waved his hand to a few people, signaling to leave this place first.
It's actually located deep in Haggerston Cemetery, and there is a layer of cold mist like a light veil hanging in the forest, and some tombstones hidden under the mist can be seen far and near, and some of the webs of the giant spiders of Grahar -
The inhabitants of the Aquin region see it as a symbol of death, but they are docile, non-venomous, preying on rodents and not attacking people.
Parker tiptoed to the front, rolling his eyes as he looked at the cold stone tablets passing by in the cemetery on either side, occasionally reciting the epitaph.
βThe Tomb of Williams-Hannocall, who is now buried in a tirade in the midst of a life-threatening battle. β
"Ah, what an unlucky one." Said the Paparals.
"Be quiet, Parker."
Attila and Sky Blue were not there, and Fang Yu had to wake up this unreliable little man himself.
When he thought of Miss Elf, whose life and death were unknown now, he couldn't help but feel a little hazy in his heart.
What's more, although Sky Blue and Ji Ta should also find a place to hide, no one dares to guarantee 100% safety here. But there's no way around it, it's really the most dangerous thing to be with him right now.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but press the small package on his chest.
On the other side, Sylvid took something from her maid in the back before she came up to Fang Yuan's side.
Fang Yu saw the noble girl and asked in a low voice, "Did you find that thing?" β
Sylvid nodded, and gave it to him. Fang Yu took the little gadget and spread it out in the palm of his hand to see that it was actually just a one-inch brooch.
A silver shield, a silver lily, and a cold moon.
The brooch naturally takes on a label in the Elector's system, and the name on that label is not surprising to him:
The mark of martyrdom of the faithful.
Fang Yu let out a long sigh: "This thing is really in Fox's hands. β
Because according to Momiji, Hu Di entered the illusion before them, so it should be that before the Knights of Tapolis Oak took over the mission, he arrived directly at this place after leaving the Traveler's Rest.
Momiji also described that the Knights lost the initiative in the first mission due to lack of preparation and negligence when entering the illusion realm.
Now that I think about it, it's just because someone has already prepared everything in it - and that person is Hu Di.
He is the only one who can help the Dragon-worshippers obtain the seal of martyrdom of the Faithful.
And after he gets the seal of martyrdom, who will end up with this thing, the most likely is undoubtedly the dragon worshippers who had contact with him at the Traveler's Rest.
That person, naturally, is Fox -
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Hu Di did not give the martyrdom mark of the Loyal to anyone, but this is not very likely.
Judging from the conversation between the two Electors before the Dragonfire Guild, Hu Di had not broken with these people before he got the Blade of False Victory.
Luckily, at least this time he guessed right again, anyway.
"It seems that the dragon worshippers don't take this thing seriously." At this time, Momiji, who had been angry and didn't talk to him, said lightly.
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment and looked back at her: "Why do you say that?" β
Momiji replied disdainfully: "After these days of fighting, the average level of the Dragon Worship Sect is much higher than that of the Dragon Fire Guild, and there are a few of them who are very tricky, and their strength is not even inferior to our captain. And Fawkes is only in his twenties, and he is not considered a high-level among the dragon worshippers, and this brooch is still in his hand, isn't it the best proof? β
Fang Yu nodded, looked at the brooch and said, "Indeed, the Dragon Worshippers value the completion of the task, not the things themselves, which are just pieces of equipment. β
"Then why did we go to such trouble to get this thing?" Parker couldn't help but feel very sorry for his loss: "My dagger is so expensive, as long as I go back to the city to make up a related plug-in, it will be a good battle tool." β
Fang Yu replied, "This thing is naturally of little use to the Dragon Worshippers, but it is different for us. Fortunately, the dragon worshippers do not know this, and this is the benefit of information asymmetry. β
"It's our only advantage right now." Sylvide added softly.
Fang Yu nodded.
He clenched his palms and put the brooch away.
However, he was a little curious, judging by the reactions of Fawkes and Hudi, they seemed to be very concerned about the false blade of victoryβtheoretically, hadn't the mission in Grey Oak Square already been triggered?
But the trouble that Hu Di had caused to the Dragon-worshippers was a very good thing for them anyway, and if this illusion was compared to a chess game at the moment, the situation on the side of the Knights of Tapolis could not be worse.
And Fang Yu felt a little speechless, he found that he still had to take over the endgame and continue, and it seemed that he still had to win.
Therefore, any advantage that is even faint now is something he must strive for.
Putting away the brooch, Fang Yu remembered that the Fox guy was also very unlucky, and he didn't know if it was because he was killed by Parker and infected with the curse of doom.
In addition to dropping quest items and some trivial items and money, the opponent's death also drops a piece of genuine equipment.
And it's not an ordinary piece of equipment, a Void Prism.
Fang Yu took out the thing and looked left and right, and for a while there was a feeling in his heart that was a little incredible, even unreal.
Because this thing is actually the necessary equipment for projection flexible construction.
The space ring commonly known as the battle craftsman -
Of course, it's not actually a ring, not even an accessory, but a plug-in for the magic furnace. Fawkes seems to be a small leader of the Dragon Worship Sect, this thing is definitely not cheap, even if the Void Prism in his hand is only the most standard kind.
The volume is one cubic, or not more than thirty kilograms.
What's more, there is actually a brand-new Walker III flexible construct inside this Void Prism, which has not even had time to remove the production label.
This shows that either the other party bought it, or it has been kept in it for backup and has never been used, anyway, all in all, it is cheaper for him now.
Fang Yu looked at this thing and finally didn't laugh out loud.
The Type III Walker is one of the most popular models in the Walker series of builds for the past decade, and it is not as good as the old Walker II in terms of performance.
Not to mention the Walker ancestor model he made at the earliest, not to mention anything else, the volume of the two is not on the same level.
He still remembers that his first walker, the 'Sword Plover', was only the size of a basketball, and this well-equipped Pacer III was nearly a meter tall and weighed 29 kilograms, surpassing the 'fortress' in all aspects of attack and defense.
Only dexterity may be slightly inferior to that of the 'Sword Plover', but the speed of the two explosions is not on the same level.
Fox's Walker III is one of the more common 'sword-wielding' models on the market, but while common, it's not cheap at all. The ex-factory price in the Kingfisher workshop is 150,000 lissell, and the cost of materials is at least half of the cost of materials, regardless of the number of hours of work done by yourself.
This is the drowsiness that someone sent a pillow, Fang Yu couldn't help but shake his head secretly, this internationalist fighter named Fox has simply helped him a lot, and what he is missing now is the combat power at hand.
He carefully inserted the thing into the magic furnace before he looked back at the others, and suddenly he was stunned and asked:
"By the way, what about Mr. Dickett?"
Momiji shook his head: "You mean that knight?" I hadn't seen him beforeβ"
"And your employer, the masked man is gone." Parker added.
Fang Yu looked behind him and asked, "Is it okay?" β
Momiji frowned and shook his head: "Our task is to solve the trouble here, not to protect his safety, and it was his problem for the employer to come to this place in person." β
"But speaking of which," she asked in a somewhat suspicious tone, "didn't you notice that the incarnation of the dragon's golden pupil had never appeared, and did it kill the captain?" β
Parker grinned, "If that's the case, then we'll have to move up ten levels." β
