Chapter 172: Shadow Flame (I)
Flagg raised his wand, which looked like an ordinary oak branch, with only three crystals of different colors floating on its head. The crystal reflected the Speaker's old face, which was as old as the bark of a dead tree, but there was a rare and careful reminder between his expressions: "Mr. Ed, Your Highness, this is different from fixed-point teleportation, there may be a slight dizziness during the teleportation stage, please stand firmly." β
Fang Yu nodded, looking at the magic wand in the other party's hand with some curiosity.
He had already heard that the king of the northern realm had a demigod magic wand called the 'Holy Mountain', and he didn't know if it was the one in front of him. However, it is rumored that the wand was made from the branch of Terrakka, the branch of the World Tree, and it does not seem to resemble the ordinary wand in front of him. However, the Seven Seas Brigade also has a Heart of a Giant Tree, which is just as unremarkable on the outside.
The Warlocks are in place, and while it's only a teleportation spell, it's also a ritual spell. In fact, in Aitalia, there is no simple spell of any space-related spell other than teleportation. The reason why the Elemental Envoy is at the bottom of the three major legal professions is not because there are no space-related affixes in the Elemental School.
Magicians often make fun of the Elemental Envoy as a flightless duck in private. And what is flying, of course, for the caster, is not to swim on the empty sea, but to travel from one realm to another, shuttling between worlds and between spaces.
Naturalists, on the other hand, rarely get involved in such debates, and as a 'noble' profession, naturalists are located on the top of all spell-casting professions, and naturally do not need to ridicule others to gain a sense of superiority.
Of course, the naturalist lady in Fang Yuan's own team is serious, and it is absolutely impossible to make fun of others, let alone look down on Luo Yu, who is also from the same guild.
The warlocks raised their wands, but before they could chant, suddenly a group of people walked in the direction of the Tower of Stars and Moon, and looked closely at the centaurs of Moondust.
At the head was Basalt, who was drawing his sword and standing in front of the crowd, without saying a word, but his intention was self-evident.
Flagg's lead-gray eyes narrowed, and he almost wrote unhappiness on his face: "Isn't the lesson just now enough, young man, you may not even be able to beat that alchemist, let alone two against one now." You don't have a chance to win, back away. β
But death was clearly nothing to fear, and Basalt shook his head and replied, "There is no one to take these people with me until I have fallen." β
His meaning is clear, you can beat me, but you can't beat time. He didn't need to outmaneuver everyone, he just needed to drag the ceremony until reinforcements arrived.
Fang Yu looked at this guy, and secretly said in his heart Sure enough, he had expected that the other party would not let him go so easily, and the loyal dog of the Flor Descendants would not be in vain. However, he had seen the people of the moon dust confronting his own people before, what about the people who came to the ashes?
Before his thoughts fell, he saw that the other party also chased out of the tower with a group of people, looked in the direction of Basalt with a cold expression and said, "Basalt, you want to disobey the orders of the guild?" β
But Basalt shook his head again: "It's you who disobey the guild's orders, the club has already made a decision, and now the guild's high-level officials have been replaced, and you are still obeying Heilan's woman, isn't it contrary to the guild's decision." β
"You should have heard the previous recording," Gray Lin said with a frown, although the other party was more accomplished than him, but seriously speaking, he was still his junior. He rarely oppresses people with power, but he doesn't want to see this young man go wrong, "The dark believer may have infiltrated the upper echelons of the guild, otherwise he would never have given such an inconsistent order, even if he didn't believe in the vice president, he could always see the previous Stargate conscription order?" β
"Let's not mention that there are some fancies after the dark believers can infiltrate the Star Gate, but the conscription order doesn't say who we want to obey, it just gives a few assembly points," Basalt glanced at Fang Yuan: "The recording was sent by him, but it doesn't mean that this kid is not the one who lies, you should have seen more of these tricks than me, Gray Lin." β
He frowned at the same time: "And I'm just carrying out the club's orders, and I'm not interested in getting involved in your mess." If you are interested in the Summoning Order, please go to the Crowtalon Temple and don't interfere with my mission. β
But Gray Lin saw through the other party's words at a glance: "Basalt, for the sake of the dispute with Hailan, you even gave up your own principles?" Don't kid yourself, don't you know which decision will represent the interests of the guild? β
"I don't know what you're talking about," Basalt replied with an unchanging face, "Well, I grudgingly agree with some of them, and now that the guild and the club have issued two completely opposite orders, which at least proves that part of that recording is true." But what I represent and you, there is always one side that is right, and you don't think that you are born to be on the right side, Gray. β
"I know you people are a little pretentious, just because you and Heilan have been through the end of the ten dynasties, and you are the successor chosen by the electors in that area. But so what, it turns out that you have not done anything terrible, and you know in your own hearts whether the moon dust is advancing or retreating in your hands. Heilan herself lives in the shadow of that woman from Elite all day long, how can I be like her? β
He raised the sword in his hand, "Since none of us are representatives of the guild, if you have any different opinions, then use your strength to speak, you can let me have nothing to say, I will naturally let them go." Of course, I guess you don't. β
Gray Lin clenched the halberd in his hand and replied coldly, "That's not necessarily. β
Xiao Kong looked at this scene a little inexplicably, and always felt that his brain was not enough, he turned around and pointed to his head, and asked the others in a low voice: "Isn't there something wrong with this guy here, he doesn't really think that Elder Ed is suspicious, doesn't this make it clear that the Crowclaw Temple is arresting Elder Ed, and there are still such rigid and stubborn people in the Dragon Knight?" β
He almost suspected that the other party was actually an aborigine.
"He's not rigid, and although Basalt claims to be the hounds of Flo's descendants, that's just a description of his devotion to his duties and no concern for his wings. On the contrary, it is rumored that this man is quite shrewd and perceptive, if you think he is a fool, then you are very wrong, do you think a fool can be a dragon knight? Momiji shook her head.
"Wait, what do you think I'm doing?" Fang Yu glanced at everyone a little inexplicably.
However, Momiji is right, the dispute between Gray Lin and Basalt has clearly gone beyond this mission, and the old and new disputes exist in many guilds, but they are rarely on the table.
But he didn't care about the internal affairs of the Moondust Guild, and the current dispute between Basalt and the Gray Landing God was their best chance.
Fang Yu immediately whispered to Flagg beside him, "Mr. Speaker, this is now. β
The archmage comprehended, glanced at the warlocks around him, and then raised his wand again.
It's just that I didn't expect that although Basalt has been talking to Gray Lin, she has been paying attention to this side all the time. The warlocks around him raised their magic wands, and he suddenly turned in this direction, and the sword light in his hand flashed, and a sword light swept in.
Flagg reacted quickly, and an unknown force swept in all directions in a wave centered on the magic wand in his hand, and there was a low 'buzz' in the air, and the invisible force turned into a tangible, forming a hemispherical, pale blue light barrier around everyone.
Basalt's sword light collided with the light barrier, and at that moment, the entire space flickered slightly, and a bright and dazzling flash of light came from an unknown direction, making Fang Yu almost unable to open his eyes. Then there was a sharp sound in his ear, which shook the head and made him feel sick and nauseous.
βοΌοΌβ
Fang Yu was taken aback in his heart, thinking that this was the power of the dragon knight? A dragon knight and an archmage go head-to-head, and it feels like the sky is collapsing.
No, it's not like, it's be. He felt that at that moment, the whole heaven and earth were turned upside down, and a huge force lifted him into the air. But he clearly saw that the magic barrier of the Grand Council was blocking that sword, could it be that even the aftermath of that sword was terrifying to this extent?
However, it was not that he had not fought with Basalt before, and he did not feel that the strength of the other party was so outrageous, even if Basalt had withdrawn at that time, the difference was not so big.
Fang Yu felt himself fall heavily to the ground, but he immediately sensed that something was wrong, because no matter how powerful the opponent's sword was, it would not last until now.
He clearly saw that the ground was undulating like waves, and even the air seemed to be shaking and rippling, and there were obvious cracks in the Tower of Stars, Moon and Moon in the direction of the square, and those cracks spread like spider silk.
Fang Yu turned his head and saw that in the direction of Arcane Sage Street, the buildings were shaking, collapsing in pieces, and the sky was falling apart.
What's going on?
Fang Ou saw Miss Tata fly up from his shoulder, shouting something at him in front of him, but he only saw Miss Fairy's mouth open and closed, but he couldn't hear any sound.
He lay on the ground groggy, and the shrill sound in his ears came after wave, but after a while the sound gradually subsided. And in the midst of that tide, a very small voice finally came in:
"Mr. Knight, Mr. Knight!"
Fang Yu finally came to his senses, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't make any sound. But after being stunned for a moment, he realized that Miss Tata's voice came from the spiritual world, and hurriedly asked:
"What's going on?"
"The portal is materialized."
Fang Yu only then realized that the previous scene was similar to something, he had experienced it once in the Tower of Stars and Moon, but the impact of the last time was much lighter than this one.
He subconsciously raised his head and saw that the eye of the storm in the black hole above the sky seemed to have expanded a lot for a while, and the green lightning inside intertwined with each other, and actually converged into a dazzling spot of light.
He seemed to see something fly out of the speck of light, like tiny black dots, but they fell from the clouds and then disappeared into the night without a trace.
He was drowsy and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak, when he felt someone pull him up.
"Mr. Ed, Your Highness, I'll send you over first," said the owner of the hand in a calm voice, "and we'll be there when we take down that dragon knight." β
Then a white light enveloped his vision, and Fang Yu saw that the white light first swallowed Miss Tata inside, and then covered himself again until it completely engulfed him.
Then there was a feeling of dizziness, the kind he had experienced once during the Elffindor Council's teleportation, and wizards often joked that teleportation would make him get used to it after a few more experiences, but Fang Yu seriously doubted this at the moment.
When he came back to his senses, he found himself lying in ruins. The place looked a little familiar, and when he looked around, he realized that it was the place he had fought with Basalt not long ago.
It seems that Flagg's teleportation spell was a little out of the way in a hurry, but luckily this was not the last square to be razed to the ground, but the place where he first encountered Basalt, which was not too far from Rudder Alley.
Fang Yu turned over and got up from the ground, and called Miss Tata twice, and then Miss Fairy gradually appeared in front of him, it turned out that she had already hid in his spiritual world when she teleported before.
It's a good ability, but it's a pity that he can't hide from it himself, otherwise he won't have to suffer again when teleporting.
After he rolled over and got up, he saw that the others, Sora, Momiji, Sandnight, Blackbeau, and Kweed were all there, and then Star. However, there were some unexpected guests, who were the people of the moon dust, but they were not the people of Basalt's side, but the people of the gray side.
Even Gray Lin himself is among them.
Gray Lin obviously didn't come back to his senses from this sudden teleportation, he shook his head and froze in place, while the others had already screamed first:
"Why did the old man teleport us over?"
"Because it's enough for him to stay alone to deal with that guy," Xing suddenly took the initiative to speak, and he walked to Yuechen's side: "Leaving you alone will be a trouble for him." β
"What?" The elite members of Yuechen almost froze for a moment before realizing that this was said to them, and couldn't help but be furious: "Even if we are not the opponent of Boss Basalt, we won't be holding that old man back, right?" Besides, isn't there still a gray boss? β
But Star shook his head, ignored the men, and walked straight towards Ash.
Fang Yu looked at this scene and was slightly stunned, to be honest, Flagg teleported Gray Lin and his party together, which was also a little unexpected for him. Although Flagg, as the owner of the Northern Tower, did not need the help of others to deal with Basalt, passing them away first, but relieving him of the pressure.
But this 'them' obviously should not include these people.
He was puzzled when he suddenly felt someone stretch out his hand to him, and when he looked back, he realized that it was his ship's officer.
Sylvid hadn't been seen since she had sent Miss Tata here, but Fang Yu knew that she should have been near the plaza until the last minute when she was within range of the teleportation spell.
He held the girl's white and slender hand and stood up, Tianlan and Tang Xin were not with Miss Shipmaster, Sylvid was the first to rush to the Tower of Stars and Moon.
But before that, he had already sent the others to Rudder Alley, where they should be able to meet if nothing else.
"Are you alright?" Fang Yu went up and down, left and right, carefully checked his ship's officer, he was afraid that she had been injured when she hid in the Arcane Sage Avenue before.
He could see clearly how the streets had been destroyed.
Sylvid pursed her lips a little amusedly, then shook her head.
Fang Yu was relieved at this time, but he couldn't help but raise his head and look at the sky when he recalled the previous scene. The dim sight was not an illusion, the eye of the storm on the clouds had indeed widened, and the flickering lightning was still there, but the tiny black dots flying out of the 'spots' were no longer visible.
He didn't know if it was a delusion for a while, but he always felt that he was not dazzled.
Fang Yu was puzzled when he suddenly heard a voice coming: "This gentleman, who are you, do you know me?" β
That was the voice of Grey Lin.
Fang Yu was slightly stunned, then he took his attention back and looked not far away. Only then did I realize that I didn't know when, the star had stopped in front of Gray Lin, and his eyes fell directly on the other party.
Of course, Fang Yuan thought that Xing was looking at the ashes, because there were only two or three big cats and kittens on the side of the ashes, except for himself, everyone else was a new face, Fang Yuan had never even seen it, and he probably didn't know where it came out.
He frowned, sensing the hostility in the former head of the Dawn Star, and subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to explain that the Gray Presence was not their enemy.
But before he could take a step, Sylvid reached out and pulled him.
"Sylvide?"
"Just look at it, Captain." The ship's master shook her head at him lightly and smiled slightly.
Xing then looked away from Ash Lin and looked past him to the members of the Moon Dust Guild behind him.
Gray Lin looked back in that direction with a little surprise, only to find that the person himself had some impression that it was the guy who had a verbal confrontation with him not long ago.
He didn't recognize the other party at the time, and only subconsciously thought that the other party was a member of which branch, but suddenly, Gray Lin frowned, as if he realized something.
And Xing reacted more directly than him, and suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the man, and the members of the moon dust were startled and hurriedly dodged back.
But he didn't expect that the other party's grasp was not an unconscious move, but a long-planned plan.
He stepped back, and suddenly saw a long sword with cold light shining in Xing's hand, and before he could react, the blade had already come into view.
Then a sword pierced his chestβ
"What are you doing!?"
Yuechen's people were suddenly furious, whether they recognized them or not, but this person blatantly attacked their people in front of him, which was too unbelievable.
It's just that before they could finish speaking, they were suddenly stunned to find that on the long sword in Xing's hand, instead of blood, a purple flame rose up.
