Chapter 388: The Far Away Quest XXVII
Princess Rupert awoke from her stupor, flicked her eyelashes slightly, and subconsciously reached out and fumbled for her saber among the rubble. But as soon as her fingertips touched the cold cross-handle, she suddenly stopped.
In the midst of the open eyes, she saw the brilliant light, bright, dazzling, as blue as blue, like a jade spear, piercing the outstretched shadow wings of Lifgard. A tall figure with a spear in hand, like a knight made of steel, four steel spikes stretched out from behind the streamlined shoulder armor, which shimmered dimly in the darkness.
The dragon screamed, as if pulled by the light, its massive body tilted to one side. But it still flapped its broken wings, and swept towards the knight with its claws on the other side.
Behind the knight stood the square plover. The latter's dark eyes reflected the enlarged claw—the claw on the first toe was missing, and the fracture was as smooth as a mirror, the work of the Angel of Power—and he remained motionless, and the knight raised his left arm with a bang.
The steel arm caught Lifgard's claw steadily, and the knight stepped back, his right foot slamming into the ground, the floor shattering. Some of the flying stones even hit Fang Yuan's body, fluttering and fluttering.
But Princess Rupert was not afraid to see him, and only reached out and gently wiped the dust from her face.
The knight of steel raised his right arm again with a low trumpet, and Lifgard missed the blow and extended his left paw. There was a 'bang', and the knight's right hand caught its left paw.
It was like a sharp whisper, and the princess saw that almost all the moving parts beneath the tall outer shell, the buffers, had been moved down, and the fins were all open, and a white wake was sprayed from between the pores below.
But it didn't back down and took the blow steadily. The next moment she heard Fang Yuan's voice, "It's now." Every crystal on the Iron Knight's body, every magic guide path lit up at that moment, and the four steel thorns that stood up were becoming extremely bright.
It took a step forward with its left foot, and with a loud 'boom', it grabbed Livgard with both hands and pushed it forward, and the incomparable power that surged out of the main core crystal was being transmitted through every pipeline, through every shining magic channel, to its arms.
The light of the ether shone brightly, and it sparkled from Shuma's arms, like flying fireflies, scattering into the darkness.
The power that came from the dragon soul, from the supreme masterpiece of magic technology, was pouring forward, pushing it away under Lifgard's incredible gaze.
It shattered the stone pillars, smashed through the stone walls, and a bright light poured in from the outside and trickled into the dark halls. Livinggard wailed and rolled down the cliff with the gravel, desperately swinging its broken shadow wings, waving its claws to try to grasp something, but only the soft dirt, and the crumbling cliff—
A second shadow came into view of Princess Rupert, another dark dragon she couldn't name. She opened her mouth to warn her, but found herself too weak to make a sound, her mouth smelling like rust, and her chest aching as if it were tearing.
However, in the midst of a low roar, the Iron Knight had already turned, and the dark red light under the helmet was like a gaze. The ash flame flapped its wings with a scream, and a pitch-black flame erupted from mid-air.
In front of the knight, there was a ripple like a water pattern, like a shield, and the moment the pitch-black dragon flame touched the water pattern, it deflected and parted to both sides.
"And 174,000 shields, Mr. Knight." Miss Tata's voice was as quiet as her heart.
Fang Yu nodded.
This is an astronomical amount for him.
All he knew was that it was 'Shuma' in its heyday, and compared to the scarred antiquity on top of the spire of Elffindor, this was what it really looked like when it faced Nicol Bolas.
Used to deal with a phantom, to be honest, it is a bit of a knife to kill chickens.
The tall knight raised his spear and stepped forward, parting the flames like an arrow shot into the ashes in midair. Before the latter could react, the knight had grabbed it by the tail.
It goes from top to bottom, pushing the ash flame downwards consistently. The latter let out a scream and crashed to the ground with a thud, and at that moment the floor of the hall seemed to shake, and Princess Rupert could not help coughing lightly as she leaned her back against the stone pillar.
The tall knight leapt into the air with the help of his strength, and spun slightly—the narrow field of vision in its visor also swirled in Fang Yuan's eyes. But Fang Yu only stood there quietly, and the swirling field of vision in the camera did not interfere with his clear perception of every detail around him.
The knight turned in a perfect gesture in midair, spear in hand, his gaze reflecting the back of the dragon as it stood. It raised its spear in both hands, and the next moment, a beam of meteors fell to the ground.
The ash flame wailed, and the silver light stabbed its back from top to bottom, sending it tumble down again. Its massive, pitch-black body could barely sustain itself, and its edges turned into smoke and dust, rising into the air.
The knight leapt from its back, grabbing one of its horns with its gauntlet that shimmered with metallic cold light. Then he raised his spear again, and from there it entered consistently, the tip of the spear pierced through the back of his head to his throat, and golden blood gushed out, fell to the ground, turned into flames, and then turned into a little black dust, and dissipated.
The light in the dragon's eyes dimmed, and his wings fell to the ground weakly, and black smoke rose from his body, and he no longer moved—
Princess Rupert watched the scene in amazement.
……
Watching the dragon howl and roll down the cliff until the rubble and rubble were gone, Ye Hua and Xing Yi withdrew their gaze and looked at Seneman in front of him.
The two of them saw a faint shadow converging behind the servant, and gradually formed the appearance of the Demon Dragon Gray Flame, Ye Hua couldn't help but smile: "Seneman, it looks like your plan is not too successful. ”
As he spoke, he glanced back at the stars, and then looked in the direction of the temple, a glint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.
Seneman looked at the two men coldly.
Ye Hua thought that he could see the look of anger, annoyance, or at least surprise on the other party's face. But all this was nothing, and the left minister looked at them and smiled contemptuously.
Ye Hua was stunned for a moment, slightly surprised.
"What, you're not going to go on the offensive anymore?" Seneman smiled contemptuously and asked, "My Descensa is there, and you're really going to let those two little ones meet him." ”
"Seneman, don't be pretentious," at this time, Xing opened his mouth: "The strength of the three of you servants, it is already reluctant to keep me and Ye Hua here, and at this moment, we are trying to interfere with our judgment with words, so that you can free up your hands to stop Ed and Princess Rupert, do you think it may work?" ”
Seneman stroked the scales of the gray flame with his thin hand, and looked at the two of them with a cold gaze: "Vain? Looks like I understand your intentions, you're going to keep an eye on me here? ”
"It's not just you, it's you," Ye Hua replied, "Seneman, you should know that Babartan, the King of Sands, has long been aware of your plans. Since the three of you servants are working together, can you still spare other manpower to stop Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess? ”
"Do you really think so, President Ye?"
A voice came from the valley.
Ye Hua was slightly stunned and looked back. I saw that in the forest, white light flashed, and suddenly there opened one after another light doors, and masked people in black robes were walking out of there.
He couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he saw the emblem on the other party's cloak clearly. The black and red coat of arms, and the shadow of the dragon's flame on it, are not the protagonists of Elranta's farce - who is the Dragonfire Guild?
Although the Southern Alliance does not develop in the Rainbow Bay area, after the Dorifin incident, the name of the guild through Stargate Port has already spread throughout the Third Division. The Southern Alliance had also worked privately with the military, so it was natural to know what was going on at Dorifin.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have recognized Fang Yu so easily.
When the people of the Dragon Fire Guild walked out of the light gate one by one, Seneman looked in that direction and said in a cold voice: "Ye Hua, do you think that only Babartan has foreign aid, you Chosen One is really monolithic inside?" ”
Ye Hua looked at those people with a calm face, and didn't speak for a while.
Seneman sneered and continued, "Do you really think I don't know who that kid is, I really didn't see what happened to Van Rik. But you don't want to think about it, who first brought them into contact with Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess? ”
Xing was slightly stunned, and his silent face couldn't help frowning.
"After the Dorifen incident, the people of the Dragonfire Guild already knew who was behind it. What's more, after the First World War, the young man thwarted the plan again - you really think they are fools and don't notice it? Seyneman raised his voice: "Ye Hua, of course I know that Babartan is suspicious of us, and even knows your intentions better; Lavac, you and Derain's plans in the past ten years, do you really think that there is no leakage at all? ”
Xing looked up, his face changing.
"You may not know why we chose them to contact the eldest princess, precisely because we know that you will definitely contact him, after all, you have a relationship in Dulun, don't you?" Sene Man continued, "And Ravak, I know very well that you and Deran are unlikely to ignore the bearer of the Radiance, as I expected. I still have to thank you, if it weren't for you, it would have been difficult for me to let him into this world......"
Ye Hua looked at the stars on the side, and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to do to Ed?" ”
"First, it's for revenge," among the crowd of the Dragon Fire Guild below, a person walked out at this moment, raised his head to look at Xing and Ye Hua above, and raised his voice: "Second, the two of you should understand the meaning of Cangzhihui to Descartes, right?" ”
Seneman heard the latter call the blind god Deska by his name, and raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not speak.
The man continued: "President Ye Hua, that little guy was brought into this world by you, and you won't watch the other party die, right?" In fact, it is not impossible for us to give up revenge. ”
Ye Hua listened to the other party's voice silently, and always felt a little familiar.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the man said again: "President Ye Hua, let me ask you that the Super Athletic Alliance is targeting your Southern Alliance like this, but in the past year, has Xingmen Harbor ever come out to preside over justice?" ”
"Or, if you extend the time to the past half century, those people have monopolized all the output of the stargate, and it seems that they have long forgotten the original intention of human beings to open the stargate. But what is Stargate now? It is a tool monopolized by major capital groups and a stage for hegemony between major powers. ”
“…… President Ye Hua, but you shouldn't have forgotten that the Star Gate should be the common wealth of everyone between the two worlds, isn't it? "It shouldn't be in the hands of some people and used as a weapon against the free elect—we're all rebels, and we should fight together, shouldn't we?" ”
"As long as you are willing to join us, we are also willing to abandon our past ...... with your little followers."
Ye Hua looked at this person and was silent for a moment before he spoke: "It turned out that it was you, Baicheng's affairs, and you were also meddling behind your back, right?" ”
The man shrugged, "It's just a strategy to protect yourself, huddle together to keep warm, it's the instinct of creatures. ”
But Ye Hua shook his head. "The survival instinct is only the lowest need, and in general, the pursuit of man is much higher."
"What's the use of being lofty, if you can't survive, what's the point of being lofty?"
"That's the difference between us," Ye Hua looked at each other and replied lightly: "There are some pursuits, I don't have to see it realized in person, not to mention the little guy you mentioned, he is not my little follower-"
“…… He decides for himself what he should do, and he can do more than you think. As for what the future holds for Stargate, I believe it will change the situation today. ”
"That's it," Ye Hua replied lightly, "My reply." ”
The man was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "So this is considered a collapse?" ”
"You can think so."
And it was at this time that the middle-aged alchemist on the side spoke: "Ye Hua." ”
Ye Hua turned around.
The middle-aged alchemist was looking at him with a bit of seriousness: "Ed, they may be in danger, I'll cover you to break through-"
"No need."
Ye Hua gently put away the scimitar and took the longbow from behind him.
"You watch out for your own safety."
……
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the main hall is ahead."
Fang Yu raised his head, looked at the towering Saint White Complex in the distance, turned around, and said to Princess Rupert behind him. Since leaving the previous temple, they had had a smooth journey, and had not encountered any enemies.
It is not known who built this temple or when. There is no conspicuous sign in the majestic complex, there is not a single mural on the wall, there is no blank space, there are no sculptures on the columns, and there are no icons or emblems in the halls.
It was as if it were an empty temple without an owner. The islands are full of greenery, and the temples are also beautiful, but there is always an indescribable strangeness under the beautiful scenery.
Fang Yu thought about it carefully, and only then did he realize that they had walked all the way, as if they had not seen any creatures except plants. There was no trace of birds and beasts, as small as a worm, and the temple was empty, except for the sound of the wind above the empty sea.
Although it appears to be alive on the surface, it always gives a sense of twilight, as if the temple is at the end of some time, empty and waiting for a true master.
Fang Yu could probably think of who that master was.
No wonder Seneman would say that this is the kingdom of Descartes, maybe not in the past, but it will certainly be in the future. Of course, his task is to make this place, in the future, better to be so lifeless, or even fall apart—
Princess Rupert listened to him and looked up at the front, her eyes reflecting the snow-like peaks and the temples halfway up the mountain.
She had been silent since before, and now she looked down at her hand holding the sword, trembling slightly—she had wrapped it tightly with the hilt of the cross sword with a strip of cloth, which was now soaked in blood.
She suddenly raised her head, and said in a somewhat firm tone: "Leader Ed, if you encounter the same trouble as before in the future, you don't have to worry about me." All it takes is one person to break through and find Descartes and stop it from coming back to life. ”
Fang Yu turned his head and looked at the eldest princess, "But the task they gave me is to take you to the main hall, Your Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Princess Rupert smiled bitterly, "Ed, do you really think I'm of any use?" In the battle of that level just now, I couldn't intervene at all, and I couldn't help anything, I could only be a drag. This battle is a matter of life and death for Questak, and I don't want to be a drag on my father, brother, and people......"
"But you saved my life just now, Your Highness the Princess," Fang Yu thought for a moment and replied, "Why didn't you help?" ”
"That was before, but you don't need my help now."
"But that's a little too unkind," Fang Yu shook his head, "I can't do anything like that, Your Highness the Princess." ”
"Captain Ed, this is my request—"
"But I don't accept it." Fang Yu actually had some doubts in his heart, and he didn't quite understand why Ye Hua and Xing questioned asking the eldest princess to come to this place, but for him, it was not a question of whether the task was or not.
He turned around and looked at the other man: "I will leave you behind if necessary, but that is to ensure your safety." ”
When Princess Rupert heard this, she no longer refutated, she raised her head, and a cold light suddenly appeared in her eyes. As if a knee-jerk reaction, she reached out and pushed the square plover in front of her hard.
With a scream, a sharp arrow shot between the two of them, and with a thud it shot into the stone pillar behind them, and the gray tail feathers were shaking slightly.
Fang Yu looked back at the arrow feather, and his heart was slightly stunned. It is not uncommon for Pegasus Feathers to be enchanted on top of arrows, but it is generally only done by the Elector if it is enchanted with alchemy on top of it.
And he was still suspicious of this in his heart, so Her Royal Highness grabbed him by the collar, pulled him to the side, and pulled him behind the flower bed. "Someone is in ambush." Princess Rupert whispered to him, then turned away, pressed her sword in her hand, and looked in that direction with a sharp gaze.
Fang Yu bumped into the back of the flower bed, and it was easy to come back to his senses.
"Your Royal Highness, you saved me again."
"Captain Ed, is this the time to talk about this?"
"I mean, Lord Ye Hua is still a little prescient."
"They're out." Her Royal Highness interrupted him.
Fang Yu also saw clearly the person who came out at that moment, it was not only the one who was elected, but also his old acquaintance. The moment he saw the other party, the first thought that flashed in his heart was not surprise, but a little speechless-
How did this man haunt him?
The person who came was none other than the eldest sister of the Dragon Fire Guild.
