Chapter 112: A Flock of Crows

"My name is Thrush, can I talk alone?"

The thrush stood in front of Fang Yuan, dressed in civilian clothes, and there were no other people with the Silver Forest Spear around him.

Fang Yu looked at the other party and remembered that he had seen this person a few days ago, and that was when Sand Night and the group were saving people on the judgment ground. He didn't think about what the other party would do to him, and he didn't feel any hostility from the thrush, so he thought about it for a moment before nodding.

Facing Fang Yuan's gestured look, Blackbow and the others retreated one by one. When only the two of them were left in the hall, the thrush looked at him and said, "Mr. Eddard, you're in trouble. ”

Fang Yu always felt that the other party was looking at him with a careful gaze, as if he was looking at something, but Sophie had not spoken to him beforehand, so he couldn't see the subtle meaning contained in the other party's expression for a while. As for the other party's recognition of his identity, he was no longer surprised, and not long ago, when he was fighting with the people of the Crowclaw Sanctuary in the square, he discovered that those people were the people of the Spear of the Silver Forest.

However, the other party did not show hostility towards him at the time, which is why he was willing to talk to this person. Gula Harbor was close to the Silver Vislan station, and he was also a member of the Rainbow Alliance, which was actually under the influence of the Silver Spear, so he had to consider the attitude of the two Chosen Forces.

Faced with the other party's question, Fang Yu replied: "I often get into trouble. ”

But Thrush didn't respond directly to his statement, but instead looked at the empty hall before speaking: "Soon after receiving the news of the 'Redeemed' entering the city, the people of the Ravental Temple abandoned this place, and Mofine-Greyflame is quite arrogant, but his mind is quite clear-headed. The Ravental Sanctuary still has a garrison nearby, and when they return, Greyowl Town will be a dead place. He paused, "Not to mention that the Crowclaw Sanctuary sits on half of the northern realm, and their strength has swelled to an unimaginable extent in the past six months. ”

"I'm afraid there are some people who let them grow to this point."

The thrush replied, "Yes, but not us. And this is not good news for you, as there are forces behind the Ravental Temple, which means that you may have to face pressure from many more quarters. It could be Elpahim, or it could be the royal family. ”

Fang Yu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and the other party's tone didn't sound like a threat, but like a kind reminder - although both sides had their own words. He was a little surprised by the other party's intention, the spear of the silver forest didn't seem to need to release kindness to him, but he really hadn't seen this person - except for the shallow side of the relationship not long ago.

Is it Wu Di, or Liuli? However, his friendship with Wu Di doesn't seem to be so deep, and as for Liuli, he doesn't believe that the guy with very poor quality will come to help him at this time. However, even the Spear of the Silver Forest did not know the origin of the Ravenclaw Temple, which was unexpected.

Will they be inclined to cooperate with a Sanctuary of unknown origin, or will the rise of the Ravental Sanctuary be so sudden that the Spear of the Silver Forest will have to accept it? It's a pity that the other party is destined not to answer this question, and Fang Yu doesn't intend to take the liberty of speaking.

He looked up at the solemn icon of Aidan Rian, who might not have been alarmist, but he had his own thoughts.

The thrush spoke again, "Not to mention the alliance. The Coalition has always tried to maintain stability in the North, and they have a considerable stake here, working with the Archons of Elpahim. They won't tolerate unexpected changes here, especially if you're involved, Mr. Eddard. ”

"Whether I do it or not, the league will get me in trouble all the same."

"But it's different," Thrush shook his head, "Mr. Eddard must have heard that prophecy, right?" ”

Fang Yu paused for a moment, and subconsciously blurted out: "Crow prophecy? ”

"That prophecy is just a glimpse of the future of the North."

"You also believe that prophecy is true?" Fang Yu had a keen insight into something and asked.

Thrush replied, "It's only a part of it, but that doesn't mean there's any fiction in that prophecy, it's that it's not complete." This is actually a public fact at the top of the major guilds, I just don't know if Mr. Eddard knows about this, after the Fenris incident, the aether readings of the entire North Kaolin-Ishurian continent are declining, crystals are decreasing dramatically, and some places have become dead magic zones. ”

Hearing the words 'Fenris incident', Fang Yu felt a little strange in his heart, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, he felt a trace of surprise in his heart-

It seems that a faint premonition is coming true.

And the thrush continued to say the contents of the shock: "...... But I'm sure Mr. Eddard should know that you've been through the Dorifin Affair, you've fought against Van Rik and Nicol Bolas' Shadow, and you've been to Idus and Istania since then, and from this route, you're supposed to be following the Dragon Witch's line of events all the way south. Now that you've made it through this questline, you should have heard about the Third Scourge. ”

When the thrush said the words 'Third Scourge Star', Fang Yu fell silent and confirmed the guess in his heart. He had expected that the major guild alliances, whose sources were much wider than his own, would never be completely ignorant of the matter of the scourge star, and the event line that triggered this mission was just a coincidence, but if there were more coincidences, it would become inevitable. There are thousands of members in the Guild Alliance, and there are hundreds of thousands of elite teams, and there will always be people who touch the inside story, and the scattered news will come together and become the truth.

He was even convinced that the military should have its own source of intelligence, not speculation, but almost certainty. The Seven Seas Brigade was just one of many sources of information that Stargate Port had accepted, and he even had a hunch that the Seven Seas Brigade might not be the only team working on this line.

This may be the most normal thing among Aitalia's tens of millions of recruiters.

Fang Yu asked, "Do you also know the event line of the Dragon Witch?" ”

This sentence is almost equivalent to acquiescence, and the thrush replied: "The event line of the Dragon Witch is also a relatively important task clue at the top of the major guilds, this event line has a long beginning, but the rewards are relatively rich, and it is generally considered by the youth academy of the elite team." However, judging by the reactions of all parties, we should have achieved far less than Mr. Eide. ”

He looked at Fang Yuan, "Actually, I have a presumptuous question, where has Mr. Ed advanced the Dragon Witch's event line?" ”

Fang Yu chose to remain silent.

He felt that he couldn't say that there would be no more dragon witch event lines in the future. And the same is true of Dorifin, who kills everything without leaving any room for others, although it is understandable to complete the task, but always feels a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, the thrush didn't ask.

He only continued: "This is the third great tribulation ever recorded in Aitalia, and considering the two-way impact of Stargate on our world after that, Stargate Harbor is ready for the onslaught. And as a role model for the Electors, no matter what you think of us, in fact, the major guild alliances, whether they come from East Asia, North and South America, Oceania, or the CIS, have already entered the first line of preparation, tacitly starting to mobilize for this disaster. ”

There was a quiet light in the young man's quiet gaze.

"What you see in the North is only a part of it, and our integration of the Free Chosen is only part of it, but the North is currently on the front line of the Kaurin-Eshurian against the Scourge Star, and there are already Nicol Bolas's minions and shadowmen. And the two armies have already set out from the Longxiao Mountains at this moment, heading towards the entire northern border, and at such a moment, your actions are undoubtedly challenging the nerves of the entire Kaurin-Ihurian guilds. ”

Fang Yu was silent for a moment, but perhaps these people had a valid reason, he still spoke, "So you believe that the Crowclaw Temple can help you fight all this?" ”

"I don't know, I'm just an insignificant person in it," Thrush shook his head, "But it's an indisputable fact that the Alliance is betting on the Ravenclaw Sanctuary, and the major guilds will align with it." Because we can't agree, we can't fight the common enemy. ”

"But why not tell everyone all this, what the Guild Alliance can do, I'm sure people can understand it too, those people could have even joined you. But I really don't see why there is still a need to create antagonism between people at this time. ”

"Because of interests," Thrush replied bluntly, "the major guild alliances are driven by interests, and each of them has paid a lot of money for this, and if you can't reach an agreement on interests, then it will be difficult for you to keep such a behemoth acting in tacit agreement." In fact, the same is true of the Crowclaw Sanctuary - the Grey Knight captures innocent people in the countryside, but slander and framing are not the goal, the purpose is to strengthen themselves. ”

A ray of sunlight was streaming down from the gloomy hall, and the solemn and sacred statue of Aidan was half bathed in pale light, half immersed in shadow.

For a moment, the hall was a little silent, with shimmering dust floating in the sunlight.

Fang Yuan's quiet gaze stared at the dust: "So this is the reason why the Free Electors, the Knights of Tapolis Oak, and all the displaced people in the North have been abandoned?" The Guild Alliance thinks it can fight against everything, and the will of the Precursors is just a 'reward' for everything? ”

"That doesn't mean I agree, Mr. Ed," Thrush replied, "but that's true, who do you think the Alliance and Stargate Harbor would choose to trust between the Guild Alliance and the Free Electors?" ”

"I don't know," Fang replied, "but that doesn't mean I agree." ”

Thrush looked at him: "In addition to this, there are the descendants of Flor. ”

"I don't care about the attitude of the Descendants of Flore," Fang Ou interrupted, looking at him, "and what about you, what is your attitude?" The Spear of the Silver Forest, and the Rainbow Alliance, what are you here for, and are you here to give us an ultimatum? ”

Thrush shook his head: "The center of gravity of the Spear of the Silver Forest is still on Charter City, we have decided to fight against Nicol Bolas's army there, and as for what happens here, we can't control it for the time being. In fact, the Rainbow Alliance doesn't know what's going on here, I'm only here because a friend commissioned me, but even if the Alliance gets the information, I guess they don't think you'll be able to fight the Ravental Sanctuary for much longer. ”

Fang Yu stared at him silently, and did not guess who the friend in the other party's mouth was, because the other party was not obligated to explain all this to himself. It was only after a long time that he spoke, "I see, the people of the Silver Forest Spear can walk here unhindered, as long as you don't cause trouble. Plus-"

He paused: "Maybe you don't care, but I still have to say one thing - thank you." ”

Thrush nodded at him.

Fang Yu looked at the other party's departing back, and only sighed softly in his heart.

He seemed to understand a little suddenly, why people had forgotten everything in the past, just because of arrogance, covering their eyes - should the weak really be a sacrifice to be divided?

Maybe they don't understand what really power is. Fang Yu only felt a vague realization in his heart, and he turned his head again to look at the changing light, which seemed to be a guide in the darkness, and under the light was the silver star of Kaurin-Ihurian.

……

The message brought by the thrush is not alarmist.

It only took a few hours for news broke out in the community about the conflict in Greyowl Townβ€”

The post initially circulated only in the local community of Gula Harbor, but the discussion spread almost quickly to the main forum. Conflicts between the Chosen and the Elected, or between the Adventurers and the Temple, were nothing of news in the vast North.

It's just that the news of the 'redeemed' entering Grey Owl Town and seizing control of a town under the hands of the Templars is so powerful that it almost spreads out in the midst of all the unremarkable information. Coupled with the fact that a video of their battle with the Ravental Sanctuary outside the inn had been uploaded, the discussion quickly became the hottest topic of the day.

What's more, the news was added to by the Elect who had witnessed it, and there was a sign that the discussion of the riot a few months earlier in the south had swept from north to south towards the whole of Kaurin-Ishurian.

Fang Yu didn't know if there was someone behind this, but it was obviously not as simple as people seemed on the surface, he actually vaguely felt that some posts were infested with water armies, but he didn't know whether it was the Alliance or the descendants of Flor.

However, compared to the impact of this incident on the situation in the north itself, which the guild elite leaders were concerned about, ordinary people were more concerned about the battle that took place outside the inn. As a result, dozens of related videos appeared on the homepage at once, and some people acted as commentators, breaking down the battle into more than a dozen paragraphs, and evaluating the performance of each member of the Seven Seas Brigade one by one.

But the hottest is still Miss Knight.

"It's really Miss May!"

"Miss May, too, is she so cute!"

"Why is Miss May with them?"

Of course, there were other different voices: "I think that Miss Nightingale is not bad, have you seen her shadow?" ”

"That shadow industry is just above the level, and it can't reach the top."

"That being said, Miss Nightingale is really beautiful."

"yes, I've loved Miss Nightingale since I was born!"

There are also some voices drowned out in the lovely discussion of the two ladies:

"Can someone tell me what the King of Ravens is all about?"

"That magician is too powerful, isn't it, fighting dozens of them by himself?"

"That's an elemental, stupid."

"Elemental envoys use clockwork elves, isn't upstairs stupid?"

"Neither will the magician, retarded."

In addition, the most discussed topic is about Fang Yu himself.

Although he only occupied the last short period of time in the whole battle, the appearance of the 'Murder Star' was too eye-catching, and the rain of death falling from the sky was enough to shock everyone who saw the video. Of course, the focus of attention is on the number of constructs he controls and the dragon hunters.

However, to Fang Yu's surprise, the discussion of these people who followed him was quite professional:

"I guess it might be a fractal construct," someone analyzed, "he can't control that many constructs by himself, how many levels has he been since the Dawn Star incident?" I guess it's a simplified build like the Annihilator's Shining Shield, and while it looks like a lot, it's not as difficult to handle as the Clockwork Elf-"

"And it's not necessarily one person who controls so many constructs," the other said, "and don't forget their air battle in Kailano, where there may have been more than one alchemist on that ship." Even the Elemental Envoys in their team use clockwork elves, which seems to be a testament to this. ”

Fang Yu didn't expect that these people would still have a good discussion, especially the first person who had almost analyzed it to the same extent, but the simplified structure was not the 'Murder Star' itself, but the lancers who carried it. And the principle of simplification, I am afraid that ordinary people can't even imagine.

As for the second person's analysis, it was a bit outrageous, he really couldn't think of any other craftsmen on the Seven Seas Traveler besides himself, of course, Fang Yu didn't mind these people thinking in this direction. Now that the Seven Seas Brigade is famous enough, it's time to keep a low profile.

As for the dragon hunter, there was a bit of speculation about its origin, but since the video material was only a quick glimpse, most people did not come to any useful conclusions. Fang Yu himself actually wanted to know the origin of the dragon hunters, but unfortunately, there was nothing to gain from the discussion barrage.

Aside from the discussion about him, the most analyzed by these people is the Seven Seas Brigade itself, rather than a specific individual. To be exact, people are speculating about how the Seven Seas Brigade will rank among the brigades of the major guilds.

This discussion was a little surprising to Fang Yuan, which showed that the Seven Seas Brigade seemed to have entered the field of vision of most people. Some people no longer even see them as an ordinary adventure group, but as an elite brigade, because in the domestic points and strength rankings, only the elite brigades of the major guilds are on the list.

Of course, he was conservative about the conclusions of these people, most of them actually thought that the Seven Seas Brigade could only rank in the middle and lower reaches of the brigades of the major guilds, and even couldn't even enter the top 100, which was really outrageous.

Ai Xiaoxiao also complained indignantly on the side that these people were blind, and then she suddenly shouted: "Oh, why are these people still saying strange things!?" ”

Fang Yu glanced there, only to find that someone was discussing something unrelated to the battle.

Originally, the conflict between the adventurer and the Crowclaw Sanctuary was a daily occurrence in the north, not to mention that it was the 'redeemed' who claimed to capture Grey Owl Town, and people are not sure whether the battle that took place outside the inn at the same time was related to it, after all, judging from the video, it was clear that the Crowclaw Sanctuary was the attacking party.

But at this delicate point in time, it's a bit odd to put this post alongside two other posts on top of the community:

'There is an army of unknown origin in the north of the Longxiao Mountains-'

'Nicol Bolas has appeared near Charter City, and a large number of drakes are entering the Northβ€”'

And that's exactly what those people are talking about:

"The North is in jeopardy, and the callers of our region are still fighting among themselves?"

"I'm afraid that the tragedy in Charter City will be repeated, and as I said earlier, these free electors have never seen the big picture."

"No wonder Division 3 is not as good as ...... year after year"

Fang Yu glanced at a few lines and then closed the window, he had roughly understood the operation of the alliance in his heart. This is just the beginning, and they will definitely launch a public opinion offensive soon, putting the Seven Seas Brigade completely on the disadvantage.

And only then can they have a legitimate excuse to intervene in the battle between the 'redeemed' and the Ravental Temple.

However, Fang Yu had expected this, and there was nothing surprising, he just looked at Ai Xiaoxiao, who was very angry, and thought about how to explain this matter to the rest of the Seven Seas Brigade.

And it was at this time that he suddenly saw Blackbow walking in from outside the hall with the people of the 'Redeemed', and looked in his direction: "Mr. Eddard......" But Fang Yu shook his head and interrupted the other party first, he looked at the leader of the 'Redeemed' and said:

"Mr. Grey Whistle, before that, should you tell us about the ins and outs of the 'Redeemed'?"

Since it is an anthropomorphic Starlight, the system used by the Visitor is much simpler than that of the Elector.

However, no matter how simplified, some basic functions are still guaranteed, at least recording information, and logging into the community is no problem at all - after all, photographing scenery is the basic need of tourists, and Xingmen Port can never refuse tourists the right to contact the outside world.

On top of that simple playback window, two men were replaying a video over and over again.

It took a while for Luo Yu's father to freeze the picture on one of the frames, and then turned around and asked, "How?" ”

"It's all right," replied the lady, "as a combat craftsman, you have some skills. ”

Luo Yu's father looked at his wife and smiled, "I'm far from this level. ”

"You're far from him," replied the lady, glaring at him, "what do you want me to say, that you want me to agree with them?" But the level is the level, whether they can go to the second world is another matter, what they are doing at the moment is not helpful at all......"

"Let's not talk about this for now," Luo Yu's father replied, "What do you think of Xiao Yu, you are an elemental envoy, you should know best what is going on?" ”

But the lady shook her head rarely: "I still haven't figured out why his opponent can't catch his aetheric aura, maybe those people are too vegetable." It's a pity that I'm a tourist now, and if I still have the strength I had back then, maybe I would be able to figure it out. ”

"Xiao Yu, he didn't tell you?"

"Hmph, he said it was a secret."

Luo Yu's father laughed: "This is understandable. ”

"There's nothing wrong with you," replied the lady angrily, "I'll give them ......a year anyway," she said, and fell silent, glancing at the video before she got up to leave.

Luo Yu's father watched his wife walk away, smiled, and shook his head. He turned back, closed the video, and opened another page of files from the systemβ€”what appeared to be a small storage space filled with all sorts of materials and videos he had compiled from the community.

He stared silently at the materials, and finally his gaze landed on one of the documents.

The file has a simple category and name:

(Combat Craftsman) Fenris.

……

"What do you think about this, Miss Sylwell?"

Alyssa propped her hand on the stone railing, hooking her fingers at her puppet, and glanced back at Silvid, who was staring at the pillar of smoke in the skyβ€”in that direction, the sky was overcastβ€”and in the distance was the shadow of the Dragon's Howling Mountains, like a black cloud hanging from the horizon.

Sylvid turned her head and looked at her, "What does Alyssa want to ask?" ”

"About the regimental commander."

Sylvid smiled: "Then you can ask him, I can't decide the matter of the head of the regiment." ”

"That won't do," said Alyssa, flicking her long hair in the wind, "and the pigeon cage is in your hand in our regiment, Miss Sylwell. ”

Sylvide pursed her lips and smiled, "The head of the group has grown. ”

"Oh, really?"

Sylvid nodded slightly: "He has never objected to my affairs, and I will never object to what he has begun to decide." ”

Alyssa glanced at her with a slight surprise.

"Actually, that's what I think," replied Miss Nightingale, "I'd love to see Mr. Ed grow up, but the current situation is ......."

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly raised her head.

In the sky, a few black birds were flyingβ€”they were growing in number, as if in an instant, their wings were spreading out to obscure the sky. It was ravens, and they were flying in flocks from north to south, over the town of Grey Owl, over the bell tower in the distance, in the direction of Gula Harbor.

Alyssa watched the scene in amazement.

In the wind, there seems to be a hint of ominous atmosphere.
