With a flash of light, the middle of the tower that went straight into the sky seemed to crack, and the white stone that built the tower was expanding outward and scattering, disintegrating and falling in the flames, falling from the sky and falling to the ground like raindrops. Beyond a distance of 100 meters, there is only a meteor falling into the world.

"Stand up your shield!"

Ender looked up at the scene, stretched out his hand, and shouted to the craftsmen under him.

The alchemists who were watching the scene in the square immediately turned around and ran in all directions, throwing a metal pedestal at the four corners of the square. The circle on the pedestal swirled and unfolded, eventually expanding into a light blue shield.

The falling stone grew larger and larger in people's field of vision, and crashed against the shield, and the citizens in the square screamed and crouched down with their heads in their hands, and the screams were heard one after another. But the falling white stone did not shake the shield in the slightest, and after the earth collapsed, the rubble fell, the dust dispersed, and a clear blue halo was still undamaged underneath.

Only then did people tentatively raise their heads, and there was still a lingering color in their eyes.

I saw that the sky was filled with smoke and dust, and a dragon wing as black as a shadow was stretching out from the gap in the tower, it occupied two-thirds of the size of the first floor of the spire, and it was like a butterfly flapping its wings with a light fan.

There was a long howl, and the sound spread like ripples from above the minaret.

Everyone couldn't help but kneel on the ground, covering their ears with their hands unbearably, their eyes blackened, and in that field of vision was an indelible shadow, it was huge, powerful, and a creature that existed in fantasy.

The clockwork goblins in mid-air gurgled and seemed to fall apart under the screams a radius of several kilometers. Even the audience in the live broadcast room seems to be able to feel the violent shaking of the picture, and the center of the shaking is a line of white that goes straight into the sky.

with creatures above the tower.

Shadow Dragon –

Or rather, the perverted name that the world has passed down from mouth to mouth.

Black Dragon, Dark Dragon.

'The fire of Venus fell straight into the dust; ’

'The dragon of the escapism, and now again; ’

'The shadow of the past, when the time returns—'

Many people couldn't help but look up at the LOGO in the live broadcast room, which happened to be a simple long sword, half-buried in the embers of the unextinguished spark, between the sparks, and a short sentence engraved on the sword with simple dwarven characters.

Most people don't recognize it, but they may have known its name and meaning from elsewhere:

It was the sword of the hero Shoyod, whose name was Galapea.

The words engraved on it mean:

'Don't forget the enemy who has passed away—'

Because now, they're back.

The tower shook violently.

The dark dragon slammed a hole in the tower, and the high-altitude currents blew in from the outside, so scraping that the square plover had to lie on the ground hard, and the horns of his clothes hunted. But he was already accustomed to such a scene, so he reacted before Lynn on the side, turned his head and shouted to the latter:

"Run, what are you doing!"

Lynn looked at him as if he was stupid: "How do you run ......?" ”

That's a brilliant question.

Fang Yu looked down and immediately said, "Go to the lower level." ”

Lynn also reacted at this time, and immediately said: "There is a way to the lower level in the hall, but it is not very useful. ”

Not so good? But Fang Yu couldn't care so much, and swiped with his hand: "You go first!" ”

Lynn didn't dare to waste time, glanced at him, only nodded, turned and crawled in that direction.

The dark dragon had already climbed half of the tower, leaving only its long tail to pass by the two of them like a snake, and she turned outside, staring coldly at the two men inside the tower through another gap. The golden flickering pupils only made Fang Yu shudder.

But he held back his composure, looked at the other party with a pale face, and still made a final effort: "Lady Misu, please come to your senses." ”

"The people who went to Doriffin with you back then, they are still waiting for you to return—"

"Do you remember Mr. Dicht? Do you remember Lincius? ”

"He's still searching for your whereabouts to this day."

"Do you remember Heath?"

"The hope you left her with, she has received now."

"But what about yourself?"

"Lady Misu, you have an incomparably noble heart, please don't be fooled by the power of Nicol Bolas, please hold on to yourself and come back to us-"

There seemed to be a moment of hesitation in Venus's pupils, but it was immediately occupied by a cold light.

"Yes, Ed," replied the gentle voice, "I have left hope for others, but I have forgotten myself, I have forgotten who I am, and I have only remembered the infinite pain. Maybe today, I'm going to get back everything I've lost. ”

It spreads its wings behind it.

"No!" Fang Yu's face changed drastically.

The voice changed, cold and low, and said resentfully: "The world hates me, but what does it matter? Little one, give me the Radiance of the Firmament! ”

Its wings swooped forward, and the black shadows under its wings seemed to turn into substance, and sharp arrows swooped straight at it, like unfolding lines, each passing through the tower, and the sound of glass bursting, and the curtain walls collapsed.

"Nicol Bolas!" Fang Yu shouted angrily.

Fragments of glass collapsed and fell like a waterfall, splashing all over the ground.

The scattered glass shards cut several openings on Fang Yuan's face and hands, and the blood beads rolled down the direction of the air flow, and he could only barely lift the hem of his coat and roll it to the side. I don't care that there is still a piece of debris on the ground, only behind the exhibits in that direction.

It was an antique-level dreadnought, but three shadow arrows turned around and pierced through its body, and the dreadnought was torn apart in an instant, returning to its part state.

Fang Yu didn't have time to pity the loss of a piece of history, so he hurriedly rolled to the side again, and three black lines penetrated from his previous position, and the marble ground was only like a piece of tofu in front of him.

"Catch!"

Fang Yuan heard a shout, and he struggled to look up in that direction, only to see that Lynn had found a claw hook from there and threw it at him. When the claw hook landed beside him with a bang, Fang Yu understood and didn't want to grab the claw hook.

Lynn tugged the rope hard, and the Owl immediately slid in that direction, the black thread only chasing after him and thrashing into the ground one after the other, each one a fraction of the same.

The seven shadow arrows fell one after another, and Fang Yu also came to Lynn's side.

"Thank you." He jumped up from the ground and swept behind him, but fortunately his coat was thick enough, otherwise he would have choked on the shards of glass behind him.

"This hook is one hundred and thirty years old." Lynn was a little heartbroken.

"Good thing it didn't break."

Lynn looked in the direction of the dark dragon, only to see a shadow flicker beyond the tower, and Nicol Bolas seemed to have crawled in another direction.

"It's on our left, be careful!" Lynn reminded.

Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud bang, and the walls there collapsed.

Seeing this, the two of them lowered themselves in unison, allowing the black lines to pass over their heads, sweeping across the hall, and slicing the collection inside. But the black line immediately turned back to the position of the two of them, shooting straight in.

Seeing this, the two of them turned around and ran wildly with a tacit understanding.

"It's not the way to go on like this," Lynn shouted breathlessly, "I found something useful before." ”

"What's that?" Fang Yu asked.

"Pete's oversized shield generator."

"Are you sure it still works?" Fang Yu asked in a very skeptical tone as he ran.

"It's only twenty years old!"

"Only?"

The sound of glass shattering came from behind the two of them, getting closer and closer.

Fang Yu glanced back and hurriedly asked, "So where is it?" ”

"On your left," Lynn exclaimed, "it has a glass curtain wall, and I can't open it!" ”

Fang Yu immediately looked in that direction, and sure enough, when he saw that what Lynn said was staying in that place intact, he didn't think about it, and raised his hand to shoot a rocket flying fist. The pride of the lonely king pierced through the glass with a 'whoop', shattering the curtain wall.

He gripped it harder, grabbed the railing inside and flew over, then fell to the ground like a salted fish.

The floor sinked suddenly, and Fang Ou fell down, and suddenly he heard a low echo from the tower, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked - the Alffindor Tower was a relic of the Noumerin elves, and unlike today's buildings, the entire tower was buoyant.

But many of the floors in the tower were repaired later, and Fang Yu understood that the sound he heard was the sound of this floor cracking and collapsing.

Its structure was so damaged that it was about to be unable to hold up.

Seeing this, he didn't care that there were still glass shards on the ground, so he got up from the ground with all his strength and rushed towards the shield generator. However, Fang Yu couldn't help but feel a little big when he saw this thing, most of the production techniques he had learned were craftsmen.

And the maintenance and use of these large-scale equipment, he really can't-

He hurriedly turned around and asked, "How do you use this thing!?" ”

Lynn was being chased by black lights and shouted, "Open the restraint first!" ”

"Opened, and then!"

"Open the insurance."

"It's open, step three!"

"Connect the magic loop."

Fang Yu hurriedly operated, and shouted again: "Okay!" ”

"Insert the Mana Crystal in!"

"But I don't have any magic crystals!" Fang Yu broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly shouted to the other party, "Do you have it?" ”

"I have!" Lynn pulled his magic furnace and threw it over with all his might: "The main core crystal of the magic furnace is the magic crystal, insert it!" ”

Fang Yu rushed over to pick up the magic furnace, pulled out the magic crystal inside with three strokes and five divisions, and forcefully inserted it into the shield generator. With a click, the crystal automatically rotated and sank into the groove, and then suddenly lit up, and under Fang Yuan's gaze, a faint blue light expanded around the crystal.

In an instant, it expanded by twenty or thirty meters, enveloping the core of the hall in one fell swoop, forming a light blue wall of light curtains.

The black lines outside fluttered against the wall at this time, and one by one they disappeared, and they could no longer shoot in.

And at this time, Lynn ran to him out of breath and fell to his knees, looking like he was the rest of his life.

But Fang Yu walked over and dragged him up: "Don't stop, go quickly!" ”

"Let me rest," Lynn paled, "I'm dying." ”

"If you don't leave, you're really going to die," Fang Yu dragged the other party towards the center of the hall, "You don't really think that a shield generator can stop the dark dragon, you take a good look." ”

As soon as Lynn turned around, he saw the light curtain that had just unfolded, and at this time, it had become bright and uncertain under the continuous impact of black lines.

His face changed and he said, "...... Our level is too low, the quality of the main core crystal of the magic guide furnace is too poor, and the mana reserves are not much. ”

"It's not much better in its heyday," Fang Yu pointed in a direction toward him, "You're underestimating the Dark Dragon. ”

In the place he pointed, every shadow arrow that had landed before had turned into a cloud of smoke at this moment. They rose upright from the ground and in an instant took on human form, turning into living dragon minions.

When Lynn saw these dragon minions, he couldn't help but suffocate: "Shields can't stop creatures. ”

"So we'll have to hurry," Fang Yu asked, "where is the entrance to the lower level?" ”

Before he could finish his sentence, both of them suddenly felt the ground fall sharply.

There was a loud bang, and half of the hall sank downward, as if it were tilting completely, and the ground broke apart at this moment, crashing straight into the seventy-sixth floor. The two floors suddenly pressed against each other, and the lower floor couldn't bear it, and there was a cracking sound again.

Then they fell layer by layer, forming a huge breach in front of the two of them in an instant.

Lynn immediately slid down on her footing.

But fortunately, he was still holding the previous hook in his hand, and Fang Yu grabbed the hook with his backhand, and pulled the other party back with a hard pull. At the same time, he clawed his backhand to the ground, and the proud claws of the Lone King also dug deep into the floor.

It pulled a spark on the ground, and it made the two of them stop.

I heard only a sparse rumbling noise, and I saw the exhibits in the hall gather together like mudslides, rolling down one after another, tumbling into the crack below. It was almost half a century of history that disappeared here, but Fang Yu and Lynn didn't have time to feel this heartache for a while.

Because the two of them glanced at the crack of the black hole below, and they both felt a little numb.

“…… Is it going down? Lynn swallowed and couldn't help but ask.

"."

Fang Ou looked up, and saw that Nicol Bolas above was in the breach outside the tower, and a pair of golden pupils in the darkness were staring at them coldly through the blue curtain of light. On the left and right sides of the sloping hall, there were no less than a dozen dragon minions leaning in this direction.

It's almost a desperate situation.

But he became more and more calm in his heart, he always seemed to have such a trait, the more dangerous it was, the more he could calm down.

"We've got to figure something out." He whispered to Lynn.

"What's the solution?" Lynn was also infected by his calm voice, and couldn't help but ask.

Fang Yuan's eyes narrowed.

A shadow above the hall caught his eye—

The tall shadow was fixed on the shelves, and even though the hall was tilted, it didn't move at the moment.

It was only five meters away from the two of them.

Fang Yu turned his head and suddenly asked in a low voice:

"Lynn."

"How?"

"Have you ever driven a dragon knight?"

"Huh?"

……

Above the tower, clouds of smoke were slowly dispersing.

Su Changfeng, the two master craftsmen of Alffindor, Virus, and others stopped at the same time, looking in the direction of Van Rick's city center, on the white tower of the blue sky, a pair of pitch-black wings that were slowly spreading were so deeply reflected in everyone's eyes.

Around everyone, only Ditek pressed his sword with one hand, his eyes flickered slightly, and he was silent when he watched this scene.

Someone couldn't help but whispered, "...... The kid...... Is there any salvation? ”

But there was silence, and no one answered.

The light breeze from the top of the long lake was blowing across the water, rippling one after another, only blowing Su Changfeng's windbreaker collar to fly.

He lowered his head, slipped a hand into his pocket, and fumbled for a moment before pulling out his communication crystal.

The shuttle-shaped crystal was shining and disappearing in the palm of his hand, emitting a faint red light.

And a voice was coming from inside:

"Captain Su, we're here."

Everyone couldn't help but subconsciously raise their heads.

The clouds are scattering.

A slender hull, reflecting the sun, is breaking through the clouds at this moment.

Captain Zhou Zhengyu put down the communicator, gently pulled his white gloves, and then raised his head to look ahead, the shadow of the Alfondo Tower, which was floating in the depths of his eyes, he swiped his hand down lightly, and said:

"571 ship, slow down."

"Open the side hatches."

"Operational Plan No. 3, Plan B."

The captain's room was busy, and each herald was picking up the communication crystal in his hand:

"Two-thirds of the way down."

"The side hatches opened, and the buoyancy decreased by 32.7%."

"The Guy engine is running at full power."

"The estimated overload time is seven minutes and thirty seconds."

"Combatants are in combat-ready positions."

In a creaking sound, the wings retracted once more—the hatches under the ships began to shakily open up and down like a ray of light, emerging in the darkness and projecting onto the faces of everyone stationed on the lower deck.

The white light gradually expanded, allowing everyone to see the scene outside—the blue sky, and the white tower standing above the clouds, and the great shadow above the tower.

There, the dark dragon raised its head, its icy gaze swept over the battleship, and the fire of Venus was fleeting.

Inside the deck, there are rows of battle craftsmen in gray overcoats.

"Combat projection begins."

"The opponent is the Dark Dragon, be careful to maintain your tactical formation-"

"One-three, unfold."

Everyone stepped forward.

The alchemists stood against the tall shadows beside them. Everyone who received the order at this moment untied the restraint on the glove at the same time, and after a soft sound, they turned the uniform metal glove and moved upwards in unison:

There was a sudden snap of a lock popping open from beneath the tall structure, and it leaned forward, sending a flash of fire from beneath its feet—the first, second, and third knight-like structures leapt from the deck and plunged straight into the clouds.

Nicol Bolas was turning his head, the scene reflected in his golden gaze, and it suddenly opened the huge mouth of the black hole, and spewed out a golden fire.

The pillar of blazing gold light was connected to the sky, and it was only fleeting.

Everyone in the square had their heads tilted.

What was reflected in people's eyes was a faint blue glow in the sky, which was the flash of Guy's engine.

The three points of light spread out left and right in an orderly manner around the golden pillar of light, unfolding a tactical formation and rushing straight to the center of the battlefield.

"It's an immortal knight!"

"So many Immortal Knights!"

"Fuck it, it's our ship!"

"Terran reinforcements have arrived!"

There was a sudden excitement in the live broadcast room.

People watched as the points of light left the floating battleship, and the three and three unfolded their formations, sorting into a faint river of light in mid-air. And one end of the river of light is connected to the center of Van Rik City, the top of the spire of Alfondo that reaches into the sky, and the black wings that press on the bottom of everyone's hearts on the top of the minaret.

Nicol Bolas's wings scrambled at this moment, and the tower shook slightly, and it flew away from Alffindor for the first time with a cloud of smoke, spreading its wings in mid-air, and swooping down on the immortal knights in the sky.

"Holes, holes, pay attention to the left and right scattered."

A deep voice came from the communication channel.

The three of the first to bear the brunt of the formation immediately separated from the left and right, and a black light was passing between them—the fire flickered in Nicol Bolas's golden pupils, and between its outstretched wings, the black smoke and dust were differentiating into countless arrowheads.

It was like a pitch-black torrent, seeping out countless tributaries and spreading across the sky.

There is a glitter in people's eyes.

It was like countless stardust, flickering little by little above the sky, filling the sky of the entire square.

Soon there was a flash of fire in the sky, and it was the 'knights' who exchanged hands with the black dragon in mid-air, and the black light and the blue light spear intertwined—the flash of the explosion was fleeting, and the structure disintegrated in mid-air, so that the Guy engine turned into a cloud of scattered rain, fluttering down.

……

"There are reinforcements!"

Lynn couldn't help but cry out in surprise when she saw the scene outside in the hall.

"It's our people," he turned around, looked at Fang Yu and shouted, "We are saved!" ”

"You fix those things first."

Fang Yu pointed to the black smoke cloud that was spreading little by little around him with bad intentions, and one of the dragon's minions.

"Wait," Lynn asked, "aren't you a battle craftsman?" ”

"I'm going to activate that thing."

Fang Plover raised his head.

There, the slender silhouette resembles an ancient knight with a spear in his hand and silent in silence.

In its time, its name once shone brightly, but a hundred years later, many people no longer remember this knight who slain the dragon.

Just like the sword of Huyod, it has gradually turned into a legend in the poet's mouth-

It seemed to be an ethereal, but heroic.

"Dragon Knight, Shuma......" Lynn looked at him a little incredulous: "...... How could you possibly start it? ”

"It's not possible," Fang Yu looked at him seriously, "but it must." ”

He looked out and couldn't help but remember everything about Dorifin.

What a majesty that's—

Although I don't want to admit it, the threat that the dark dragon brings to this world is so real.

"Not many dragon knights have made a move," Fang Plover replied softly, "the battle craftsmen can't deal with the Dark Dragon, because you don't understand what it is—in their time, the Noumerin Elves invented alchemy. ”

"Because alchemy was born to fight against the dark dragon."

Lynn opened her mouth.

Fang Yu looked at Xiuma and said, "I'll activate it, and you can lure away the dragon's minions." ”

He paused for a moment before he said solemnly, "Lynn, I need your help. ”

Lynn thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, but I have a request." ”

Fang Yu looked at the latter.

Lynn shook her head, "You promise me first, I'll help you lure them away-"

Fang Yu only thought for a moment, then bowed his head slightly.

Lynn looked at him and nodded. After a moment of silence, he turned without saying a word and walked in the direction of the dragon's minions.

Fang Yu looked in that direction.

Watching Lynn face those horrible monsters, he raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and then stretched out his middle finger—

He watched as the other turned and fled in the other direction, taking most of the dragon's minions with them until they disappeared into the hall.

Only then did he turn around and see that there were still a few dragon minions still left in this direction. However, Fang Yu didn't care too much, only threw out an Angel to block behind, then looked ahead, threw the hook in his hand upward, and hooked the railing there.

He tugged, then climbed up.

The legendary dragon knight of history stood motionless and silent, but fortunately the craftsmen were kind enough to hold it in place with a set of shelves, otherwise it would have fallen along with the rest of the exhibits in the first place.

Fang Yu grabbed the railing, then rolled over and stroked its shell with his hand, which was covered with a thick layer of dust. He turned his head and glanced at the dragon minions behind him, before he asked in a low voice, "How is it, Miss Tata?" ”

"Can it still be activated?"

Miss Fairy was silent for a rare moment, and then replied:

"It's hard."

"There are two main elements to activating the Dragon Knight."

"First, the matching dragon soul."

"Second, the Dragon Soul Crystal."

"And the dragon knight's dragon soul crystal will generally be made into a dragon crystal weapon after its dragon knight construct is born, do you remember that star dagger, that is my former dragon soul weapon."

Fang Yu subconsciously remembered the dagger that Miya gave him, and that dagger was the origin of his relationship with Miss Tata. He was silent for a moment before nodding slightly.

Tata then continued to reply quietly, "Shuma's dragon soul armament is none other than the dragon slaying sword Galapeia. ”

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, the thing was in the hands of the owner of the Traveler's Rest, Mr. Mazak. He couldn't help but ask, "It's impossible for us to get Galapea, is there any other way?" ”

"Yes," Tata replied, "although there is no master control crystal, fortunately Shuma has lost its owner, and even the original dragon soul has fallen into a long sleep. In such a situation, we have a way to activate it without using Galapeia. ”

"What are we going to do?"

"Computational power."

Tata's voice was as calm as ever: "Without the master control crystal, you can only rely on huge computing power to achieve it. ”

"Do we have enough computing power?"

"Just one try, Mr. Knight," Tata began, "I'll try to turn off some of the Dragon Knight's subsystems and see if we can get it moving together." ”

But she paused: "But there is another problem here, we don't have a suitable dragon soul. ”

"Miss Tata," Fang Yu asked again, "can't you?" ”

"I'm a dragon soul specialized for the fairy knight, Mr. Knight, and the difference between me and Shuma is too great, and it's hard to even simulate it."

"Wait," Fang Yu suddenly said, "I have a solution. ”

"You mean Nini?"

"Wait," Fang Yu said unexpectedly, "When did you even choose her name?" ”

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a milky voice in his head:

"Papa."

"Nini, hug."

Tata looked at him with a calm, watery gaze.

A black line on the square plover.

"Well," he said, "can she?" ”

"Suppose I simulate the dragon knight's computing core, and Nini simulates its main dragon soul," Tata replied, "If we work together, Mr. Knight, we might be able to give it a try." ”

"But," she said again, "Mr. Knight, this is not easy, and if you try your best to play, I am afraid that it will only be half a chance." ”

Fang Yu closed his eyes slightly.

He opened his eyes again and looked beyond the tower, where a light flickered as the Immortal Knights grappled with Nicol Bolas. But on the surface, it seems that the battle is fierce, but for the dark dragon, from the beginning of the battle to this moment.

It does not appear to have suffered any substantial harm.

At this moment, a decisive light flashed in his eyes, and his hand gently rested on the dusty shell:

"But it once defeated Nicol Bolas, Miss Tata."

"Now that the old enemy has returned, I believe it must also yearn for this same glory," Fang Yu raised his head, looked at the tall and silent 'ancient knight', and said softly, "Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, we have to try." ”

Tata looked at him.

Only nodded slightly.

"As you wish, Mr. Knight."

……
