Chapter Seventy-One: The Old Chess Game IX

Endless shouts echoed in his ears, and the flames burned like a blazing gold color, reflecting into the window, making the originally small room a golden red, like the coming of the end.

It was as if something terrible had happened, like a nightmare, awake but unable to open one's eyes, a shrill song swirling in the darkness, like a banshee's wail, and plausible memories swirling in my head—as if I had seen such a scene at some time.

But it seems that there is none.

Fang Yu opened his eyes with difficulty, and the scorching breath came to his face, choking the Venus in front of him. Then he saw a pair of eyes—how special, light gray, somewhat familiar.

But he couldn't tell where he had seen such eyes, and the plausible feeling in his mind was even stronger, as if a living memory had been mixed into the depths of his thoughts, and he knew that all this was false, but he couldn't tell which was true and which was false.

By the way, where am I? He remembered a term, Lady Fujiba's Inn, but there was nothing more than that, and he couldn't remember what he had done.

And those eyes—light gray, with a golden flame deep in their pupils, like a blooming rose, magnificent and changeable, but shining with a blazing light. A pair of quite beautiful eyes, which make people unforgettable at first sight.

The owner of the eyes, a bronzed-skinned maiden, looked at him quite quietly and quietly. "Misu?" I don't know why, Fang Yu just knew this name, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said a long list of words that even he felt inexplicable: "Leave this place with me, that thing is not your duty, let's leave together and live a good life?" ”

But the girl shook her head slightly. "It was my destiny, my grandfather, my father, my brother, and myself, for decades, not to prepare for this day. I know it will return, just as the prophecy describes, but before the turnaround occurs, I must fulfill the promise of the Oath Keeper. ”

"It's going to return?" Fang Yuan's mind was full of mush, and he always felt that he had heard this there, but he couldn't remember it completely.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, it was a different voice. "But it's too late, Misu, find another way. You're not a savior, and even if you go out from here and face it, you won't change anything. ”

It was as if an unfamiliar emotion dominated his train of thought, making him both uneasy and resentful.

The girl smiled at him, "I have to do this, this is the only chance." And I think I can change something, at least to keep more people alive. ”

"Even if everyone dies, I only hope you survive, because I only love you, and everyone else cares about me!" Fang Yu said in an eager tone.

After saying this, he was stunned in his heart, thinking to himself what was wrong, he didn't even know who the other party was.

"Thank you, I love you too, just like ...... She missed that person. But she's alive, and I know, she's there. But time is running out, it's really not much, so ......"

Misu took something out of herself and handed it to Fang Yu. "Take it out and make things right, Lynn, we made our own mistakes and we need to make up for them. I'm sorry, Rune, you're the only one I'm sorry for, I shouldn't have been involved, but I can only trust you, and remember, hatred only loops indefinitely, and only love and tolerance can end everything. ”

"Take this thing, bring it—"

The girl's mouth opened and closed, but the voice gradually became inaudible.

Fang Yu was a little anxious, and couldn't help but ask loudly in his heart, "Who will you bring it to?" ”

But tears suddenly welled up inexplicably in his eyes, and his heart seemed to be extremely sad, and the pain seemed to arise naturally, so that he couldn't help crying sadly: "No, don't do this, I beg you." ”

But the girl took a step back and smiled at him, her light gray eyes containing the most determined color. She said to him, "Farewell, my dear." ”

With that, she turned and walked out of the house. The door of the room was open, and there was a sea of fire outside.

The figure of the girl gradually disappeared into the flames.

The flames twisted and coiled, and there was a high-pitched scream outside, and the flames suddenly turned into a terrible monster, step by step, and walked in through the door, onto the carpet, leaving burning footprints on it.

Step by step towards him, then stretched out the arms of the flames and grabbed at him. Fang Yu was so frightened that he wanted to retreat and dodge, but found that he was motionless and could only watch as the monster stretched out its hand towards him.

"Brother Ed, wake up." Suddenly, the scream turned into a weak call.

A small, slender hand broke free from the flames, pressed it on his shoulder, and shook him gently. The surrounding illusion vanished suddenly, the carpet stopped burning, the light outside the windows dimmed, and all sorts of strange noises became dull—the golden-red room became dark.

Fang Ou opened his eyes again, and what he saw in the darkness was Ji Ta's small face.

The ability to think seemed to be back in his mind, and he touched his cheek, dry, where were the tears? What seemed to be taken for granted now looks a little strange in retrospect, like a strange dream. But will it be a dream? He remembered that he remembered many things in his dreams, but now those memories seemed to be gone, and he remembered only what happened in the room.

"Miss Tata, did I have any strange things going through just now?"

"You're sleeping, but it's not very peaceful, and I'm not without the ability to enter dreams, which are said to be the realm of the gods." Miss Fairy's words came.

Fang Yu nodded silently. But he at least remembered the scene in the dream, and what the girl had said. He finally remembered what the Oath Keeper was, it was another name for the Dragon Slayers, and that girl was a member of Mazak's clan? Will there be any relationship between the two? What era is she? Where did the scene in the dream take place, was it Doriphon's old days?

And who was he in that dream? What is it they call it, is it the Dark Dragon? Doriphin had a connection with the Dark Dragon, so how could it be from any era? He remembered that his name was Lynn, and the girl mentioned that he would make up for his mistakes and resolve hatred, and these bits and pieces of clues made him a little confused.

He subconsciously reached to his chest, wanting to see what that thing the girl had given him, and what she asked him to take out? But his hands were cold, slightly soft, and a voice of surprise and shame came from the darkness, and Fang Yu realized that he had made a mistake.

He pressed Kita's small hand and hurriedly let it go. The little girl took it back with a red face, lowered her head in a little panic, and muttered: "I, I, I'm not an adult, Brother Ed, yes, I'm sorry, mom doesn't, I won't allow ......." ”

"No, no, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Fang Yu hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean to, I just woke up, and I was a little unconscious." I had a dream in which someone gave me something and I thought it was in that place. ”

"Really?" Kita looked at him in the dark with sparkling eyes.

"Really, I promise."

The little girl breathed a sigh of relief, her face was not so hot, but she was still a little embarrassed. "Brother Ed, when the time comes, the others asked me to call you."

"Is it time?" Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then sat up from the bed. "Everyone's already converged?"

"Except for Parker."

"Where are you?"

"It's in the hall on the first floor now, by the way, Brother Ed, it's the fourth floor. There may be some changes outside later, so don't be too surprised. ”

Fang Yu didn't find the thing that the girl gave him in his arms, it seemed that the dream was just a dream after all, so he nodded. "Thank you for calling me, Kita, let's go and join you."

"You're welcome, Brother Ed."

After saying that, the two walked out of the room, Fang Yu took the door with his backhand, but after thinking for a while, he stopped and pushed it open-the door opened in response, and the mirage inside was the same as before, and it would presumably no longer restrict people from entering and leaving. In other words, after midnight, the illusion of the Lady Fujiba Hotel solidifies, and it is no longer as unpredictable as it is during the day.

He closed the door again, turned around, and saw that Kita was looking at him curiously, before he asked the latter, "What time is it, Kita." ”

"Poor, almost a quarter of an hour after twelve."

"By the way, Kita, what do you see?"

Kita whispered, "I had a very strange dream, it was a lumberyard, and I felt like I had lived there for a long time. As spring and winter came, I watched the lumber yard workers at work, and I don't know if it was Mr. Chris's lumberyard, but the owner of the lumberyard was a young man. ”

"A lumberyard?" Fang Yu thought to himself, what everyone saw was inevitably too jumpy.

The two walked to the stairwell, and faced a big-bellied nobleman walking up, the other party was dressed in an untimely costume, fanning a fan, with a thick layer of white powder on his face, and a big black mole sticking to his cheeks, looking like a monster, which scared Fang Yu a lot.

But the nobleman didn't even look at the two of them, and went up to the fourth floor with a complaint, followed by his two servants, who helped him carry the big bag and the small bag.

Fang Yu watched in surprise as the other party disappeared and then turned the corner, then turned back and asked, "Who is that?" ”

"A guest in an inn."

"Guest?" Fang Yu paused for a moment before he reacted, this was a phantom of the past. After midnight, Dorifin's old shadow began to show its true side.

The two of them came to the hall, and everyone had already gathered here, but unlike the dark and empty place during the day, the hall was brightly lit at the moment, and the tourists were weaving, but there was a bit of Elpahin's smell.

Fang Yu saw that facing the entrance of the hall was a long curved counter, painted with a layer of dark paint, and behind it were several waiters, busy with their own work, and from time to time pressed the crystal on the counter, a little dwarf pushed open the round wooden door from the pipe next to it, took a note from the waiter's hand and left the same way.

However, he noticed that whether it was the waiter, the guest, or the dwarf, the body was slightly transparent. Reminds outsiders that this is a world of ghosts, a vision of the undead.

The others were gathering on one side of the hall, and the French girl, who had always been lively and jumpy, seemed to be a different person at this moment, her face was pale, her mind did not belong, and she looked like she was wandering into the world.

Fang Plover asked what had happened to Attila, but the elf girl shook her head and told him that Sky Blue hadn't said much since she came out, and she had cried a lot at first.

"Are you alright, Sky Blue?" Fang Yu turned around and asked Wen Yan.

"Brother Ed." Sky Blue blinked her eyes and said with a little red eye: "Scared me to death, I'll never come to this place again, I'll never come to this kind of place again-"

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know, I'm in a basement and those people are going to kill me. They looked horrible, I was tied to an altar and couldn't move, and those men stuck daggers in my heart, yes, that dagger! She suddenly shouted: "Those mysterious attackers, those strange daggers, I watched them kill me, it's terrible!" ”

This is the dream that Sky Blue sees? Fang Yu plucked slightly, could this also have something to do with Dorifin's past?

"Okay, okay, don't get excited." He reassured her with kind words: "It's just a dream, you may see something that has already happened here, it is long gone in our time, it is just that Jeffrey wants to scare you." ”

"I know, but isn't this illusion still here?" Sky Blue trembled and said, "There must be something that hasn't left yet." ”

Fang Yu frowned, he was also wondering what the meaning of those dreams was, did they contain some kind of potential clue? Or is it just a prank? And why did the mysterious people who attacked them appear in the azure dreams, did they think about it day and night, or did they really appear here before the city was abandoned?

"By the way, Kita, do you know when and why this place was abandoned?" He couldn't help but look back and ask Kita this question.

The little girl shook her head. "I don't know the exact reason, Brother Ed, but this place should have been abandoned more than thirty years ago, but the Elpahim Library has very few records of relevant clues, and there are not even many people involved - it's a pity that there is too little time left for us, otherwise I would have found clues."

"You're already very good, Kita, and you're going to be a great naturalist in the future." Fang Yu encouraged her and asked, "If it is in history, is this situation abnormal?" ”

"It's not rare, but it's not impossible, because of the sudden catastrophe that has led to too many casualties, and in order not to cause riots, the Kaulin-Ihurian officials will tend to suppress the news."

"What about relatives?"

"I don't know."

"Our world is a little different from yours, Eddard," Sylvid said as she returned from a short distance away with her maid. After listening to his words, he said: "Except for the aristocracy, people rarely have distant relatives, and most of an ordinary person's vision is limited to the place where he was born. ”

"In other words, Miss Sylvede is also inclined to the tragedy that happened in this town, and even caused the death of the entire city, which is why there are so many undead here?" Fang Yu couldn't help but ask.

He recalled what he had seen and heard in his dreams, the sea of fire rushing to the sky outside the window, the screams that cracked his lungs, as if the end had come.

Was that the scene thirty years ago, but what happened to Dorifin at that time?

Sylvid nodded: "I saw a disaster in my dream, although I can't tell what it was, but it was a deserted street, and everyone was fleeing, as if something was falling from the sky, and people kept falling. I couldn't see far away in my dreams, but there was a deep sense of fear in my heart, as if I had experienced something like this somewhere. ”

"Miss Sylvede, too?" Fang Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised. "Me too, the feeling is indescribable, as if I was not myself, but a bystander."

"Perhaps," replied the aristocratic girl, looking at him, "not necessarily a bystander. ”
