Attila fumbled around the wall for a while, but found nothing. She stepped back with a frown, one hand clenched into a fist on her chin, staring at the small space in the cell.

Fang Yu looked at the back for a while, and then asked, "Is it behind this wall?" ”

Miss Elf looked back at him and bowed her head slightly.

"Miss Attila, let me try."

Attila nodded again, sideways.

Fang Plover passed through her, groping the cold wall with his hand, and the roughness of the palm of his hand had a different touch of time precipitation. He fumbled for a while, and while searching, he suddenly asked, "Miss Attila, have those two bones been in that place just now?" ”

"Yes, so I was a little surprised when you threatened them."

"But why did they see me?"

Attila reminded softly, "Maybe it's just your hallucination, don't overthink it, Eddard." ”

"But ......"

But if he hadn't killed those two men, how would they have died in this place?

Fang Yu's memory kept flashing back to the previous scene, and the position where the two jailers fell coincided with reality. Because it was so bizarre, it almost gave him the illusion that he had traveled through time.

Attila looked at the Golden Flame Ring in his hand, thought for a moment, and replied, "Perhaps, that's what the Dragon's Golden Flame wants you to see." ”

"Dragon's Golden Twin ...... What do you want me to see? Fang Yu stopped. What does the Dragon's Golden Flame want him to see, the two dead? Is there anything special about these two ordinary jailers?

Attila reminded him, "Don't forget, Eddard. There is also a part of the power of Nini and Eve, which guides you in the dark because they approve of you. ”

Nini heard someone call her name, and hurriedly turned around to show her presence: "Nini, here!" ”

Attila glanced at the little one.

She was in a 'fight to the death' with Miss Delis, and Miss Cat pressed a paw on her forehead with a cold face, causing her to wave her little hand and not an inch. But she wasn't angry, she enjoyed it.

Fang Yu also looked at this side and shook his head.

He was still wondering why the Dragon's Golden Flame had made a point to let him see the deaths of these two people. And what did Miss Eve mean when she said to him that it was too late, and what was it that was too late?

A heavy light flashed in his eyes.

It suddenly occurred to him that if it wasn't him, who had killed these two people?

Perhaps that's what Miss Eve was telling him—

Fang Yu continued to grope and asked, "Miss Attila, do you have any thoughts on everything you have seen along the way?" ”

"You mean clues?"

Fang Yu nodded.

"There are some clues, that wanderer should be Nicol Bolas's biological father, the Archon Garcia and the Grand Elder call him 'Alt-Ellingland', but I don't know if this name is a pseudonym, but the surname should not be faked."

"Ellingland is the family of the archmage Karatu that Sir Dickt told you, the head of the family who served as the chief court mage of the kingdom for a century."

"At the same time, he is also the true master of Worm Castle," Attila said softly, "I can roughly understand what this man has done, he has been cold-blooded and ruthless in pursuit of something that should not belong to him, and he has really sacrificed his own daughter." ”

"And Idus," replied Fang Ou, "this city, and perhaps many of them have been taken advantage of, but they are not guilty of death. ”

"As for the details that Miss Attila doesn't know, I can actually say a thing or two."

"Not only was he the owner of Wormburg, but he also married a daughter of the Grossle family, and in order to try to transfer the soul of Lifgard sealed in the Moan Sacred Sword to Eve, he killed his own wife tragically."

"I think that's why Fort Worm was reduced to rubble—"

"I've seen a lot of strange dark crystals in the underground of Eimu, and a strange enemy like a shadow, and when I killed them, I got a fragment of the Moan Holy Sword from their corpses."

"Now that I think about it, those dark crystals are very similar to the ones we saw earlier at the Dragon's First Scales. In Taliania, crystals are crystals of magic, so the crystals in both places may come from a similar magic. ”

"This magic is the power of Lifgard, and it is what the wanderer has been seeking. When the power of Lifgard was injected into Eve's body through the body of 'Art's wife, the escaping power not only destroyed Castle Erimu, killing all the creatures around it, but also turned the remaining power into those shadow-like monsters. ”

"Those monsters are actually the soul fragments of the dragon king Lifgard, of course, most of the power was absorbed by Nicol Bolas, and the remnants are only a very small part."

Fang Yu said, and couldn't help but think of the quiet portrait of the girl under the castle of Aimao, it turned out to be Eve's mother.

The two have completely similar temperaments.

He continued:

"As a result, 'Alter' received an embryonic Lifgard, a daughter who inherited the fire of Venus, the golden pupil of the dragon. Although it is not clear how he himself survived the disaster, he must have suffered some minor injuries, otherwise he would not have even taken the broken holy sword Moya with him. ”

"It is very likely that the dragon worshippers and the dragon fire guild people we met in Aimao Fort later were instructed by him to go back to find the holy sword Moya. Because his plan failed a hundred years ago, after Nicol Bolas was defeated, the Dragon's Gold was also lost during the Battle of Dorifin and fell to Mazak. ”

"Ed, you said that the Worship of the Dragons is divided into two factions. One faction is the mastermind of the 'Dragon Witch' incident a hundred years ago, and the other faction is the opposing faction led by Pudra. ”

Attila asked softly:

"So, he's Rollin's 'master'?"

Fang Yu frowned: "There is this possibility." ”

"Just a possibility?"

"Because there are still some suspicions, including the sudden appearance of the descendants of Flor, there should be another party behind it. And why the pirates don't know the secrets of the underground 'Idus' is something I don't understand. ”

"This person doesn't seem to give me the same heart as the dragon worshippers. But reminiscent of Pudra's previous statement that 'the man tried to throw aside the power of Lord Deloam and fight Bahamut on his own' - although it is not clear whether Deloan was another name for Livegard, does this mean that he had a different heart in the first place? ”

"This is very much in line with our previous perception of the wanderer, forbearing, calm, almost ruthless. He is not like the kind of person who can devote his life fanatically to a faith, but more like a selfish and indifferent lone husband. ”

How can such a person dedicate himself to others, whether this dedication is good or bad. Miss Attila, and then thought of the series of arrangements he had made for Eve, and from this I had an idea. ”

Attila only looked at him silently, but did not speak.

Actually, it's not the first time, but every time it happens, this teenager feels extra reassuring. He not only has a sense of justice, courage, and action, but also has enough self-confidence to face all evil things.

Self-confidence, when it matters most, tends to bring out the best in a person, both calmly and imaginatively.

And this kind of imagination will greatly strengthen a person's means of insight.

For ordinary people, there will always be areas that they are good at or are not good at, but at a critical juncture, few people can show such calm; Therefore, the more urgent the moment, the more valuable this quality is.

It will help a person, with a team to ultimately succeed.

This may be the reason why people finally choose trust.

She watched the other party grow up at an unimaginable speed, from that ignorant teenager to the appearance of being able to take charge of himself today. Attila couldn't help but think of her brother and sighed softly.

And Fang Yu continued:

"He doesn't just want the power of Lifgard—"

"He doesn't want the Dark Dragons to give their minions the kind of near-monster-like immortality they want, he wants to be the master of this power, not even just the Dark Dragon, but the higher beings."

That's why he imprisoned the power of the dragon king Lifgard in Eve's body and controlled it through the power of the dragon's golden calamity. Yes, Dragon's Gold," Fang Yu looked at the ring in his hand, "This ring is not forged by Joshide and Karatu, but a token of love given by Eve to Joshide—"

"I guess how Eve, who has been ostracized among the oathkeepers, could have such a ring of extraordinary material, which is neither gold nor iron. And Eve told me at the time that she and Joshud found the ring in the Serpent Temple—"

"But she and Joschud didn't go there at all, how could they possibly find such an extraordinary ring?"

Attila asked, "Did Alter leave it for her?" ”

Fang Yu nodded.

He kept inducing him, precisely so that Eve could break through the shackles and completely release the fire in his heart. The ring was the only bond between her and Josyud, and when she took the form of a dragon, it was her only connection to the world of the past. ”

"So by holding this ring, you have mastered Nicol Bolas's only weakness, and Arte should have left some means in this ring, he has that strange way to free the dragon soul from the holy sword Moya and transfer it to Eve, and he also survived the disaster at Fort Erimu."

"I wondered, where did he get this knowledge? From now on, it seems that ordinary dragon worshippers, even high-ranking people like Pudra, don't know more about the dark dragon than this one—or even know nothing about it at all. ”

"That's my only suspicion—"

Attila listened silently for a long time. She turned her gaze to the side of the young man's face, and Fang Yu said, still focusing on the stone wall, so to speak, not caring about this direction.

Miss Elf looked at it for a while before asking, "Ed, aren't you afraid?" ”

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, and turned around: "What are you afraid of?" ”

"The ambition of this man is disturbing," replied Attila, "and from the plan you have described, he does not even see Livegard, and Pudra says that he is trying to fight the dragon guardian Bahamut alone. ”

She paused for a moment before saying, "Have you ever wondered what his pursuit is?" ”

Fang Yu nodded: "He wants to become a Dark Saint." ”

"Rollin says he's a demon."

"What he did was a demon, but I have reservations about it, I always felt that Rollin didn't tell us the truth, Miss Attila."

"Are you, then, afraid of making enemies of such a person?"

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he had never considered this problem.

Is he afraid? If you want to say you're afraid, you're really not afraid. He was afraid of losing the people around him, but he didn't think so much about his own safety. This is not to say that he has any fearlessness, but only that he is a Chosen One.

He still has a chance to come back, even if he can't recover, but he can still return to Earth after all.

It's just that if I can't see Sylvade and Miss Attila again, and the others, I'll still be a little sad.

But on such a major issue of right and wrong, what is this personal gain or loss? Who doesn't have a hero's dream, compared to those who really gave their lives, he feels that he just has something to rely on.

But to say that there is no concern at all is not necessarily true. He was afraid that the people around him would be involved, and he was even more afraid that his efforts were meaningless, and for such a person, even the Ten Kings would not dare to say that they were completely sure, right?

How much more so is he.

Of course, there is also the military behind him.

But now he can't afford to wait, there is Miss Eve in front of him, and the other party may come true a moment later. Maybe it won't have any effect, but maybe it will make waves in Kaulin-Ishurian.

The birth of a dark saint, will there be no white bones behind it?

He can be afraid, but he can't stop.

Fang Yu shook his head and replied:

"A hundred years ago, it was actually the closest he came to success. Not only did he steal the Holy Sword Moya out of nowhere, but he also managed to infuse Livegard's power into his daughter's body - and although Worm Fort was destroyed, he almost succeeded. ”

Later, his affairs were revealed, and the Ellingland family and the Rogessel family became feuding, although they did not dare to return to Eispear Fort again. But he also took Eve with him, and after a few years of wandering, he came to the dwelling of the Oath Keepers in the desert. ”

There, he tricked the Grand Elder of the Dragonland into believing that Nicol Bolas was the legendary one who could bring relief to the Oath Keepers. And the old and faint Great Elder, in the case of Li Lingzhi's faintness, obviously chose to believe such a statement. ”

"Then Garcia joined his plan, and they arranged to push Miss Eve into a corner, ignite the fire in her heart, and transform into a dark dragon with anger and hatred, Nicol Bolas."

But Mr. Mazak is wrong when he says that Nicol Bolas is a perverse and a prophesied calamity. Eve is not a scourge person, she is actually the most loyal and courageous person I have ever met. ”

Under such circumstances, she was able to maintain a glimmer of hope in her heart, until the hope was finally shattered, and she turned into a dragon. After a long and three-year life in a black prison, not to mention being burdened with the blood of a dragon, how many people can persist so much? ”

"So I'm guessing the wanderer isn't telling a lie, Nicol Bolas is the savior of the Oath Keepers. It's a pity that they chose to push their rescuers to a dead end in another way. ”

"So the prophecy was ironically confirmed, Evie disappeared, and Nicol Bolas really became the prophesied 'scourge'. Could it really be the girl named Eveliel Nicol Bolas who brought disaster? ”

"It's better to say that it's the people themselves—"

And the day of Idus was the moment when the wanderer came closest to his success. All the plans were according to his arrangement, and they were carried out as he wished, and originally, a hundred years ago, there would have been one more dark saint in this world. ”

"But everything that happened after that, Miss Attila, we all know it." Fang Yu turned his head: "Even though he was so close to success, he still failed. Ten years later, Nicol Bolas's plot in the form of a Kaorin-Ishurian court was revealed, and Karatu and Joschud joined forces to fight against it—"

"That battle took place in the Ash Mountain Forest," Fang Yu said eloquently as if he had seen it himself, "and then Nicol Bolas was defeated, and in the subsequent battle of Dorifin, he lost even the more precious Dragon Treasure." ”

"Careful planning is ingenious," Fang Yu replied word by word, "but if the enemy is not righteous, some things are doomed to failure." ”

"So," he asked, "why should I be afraid of a man who must be defeated?" ”

He raised his head and looked into the void: "Nicol Bolas, are you scared by such a person?" ”

"He is your enemy more than Josyud. In this respect, you are far worse than Miss Eve, and even if she were alone, she would have to wait here for a hundred years. Half a century after Lord Joshud left this world, she is still firmly fulfilling her promise to them—"

"And you?"

"You are neither as good as Miss Misu's integrity nor Miss Eve's bravery, you are just a loser."

"Shut up!"

A low roar came from the void.

Attila looked up and looked in that direction with some surprise. After a moment, she looked back at Fang Yu again, and for a moment she didn't understand how the other party had discovered that this dragon witch had been spying on them.

But Fang Yu was actually just in the previous conversation, and suddenly figured out some things.

He squinted at the darkness there.

"That bastard tried to control me with the power of the dragon's golden pyroscope, and he tried to touch the power of the verdant, and I am naturally friend or foe, but that doesn't mean I care about your life or death," Nicol Bolas's voice said, "Don't talk big, you're about to die." ”

Fang Yu replied quietly:

"Since my life or death has nothing to do with you, I am in ashes, and it has no effect on you. But the people who have influenced you are not only alive and well, but they are about to regain the power of Lifgard. ”

It seemed to him that he had suddenly figured out why Nicol Bolas had appeared before.

He also completely figured out why the strange relationship between Nicol Bolas and the Dragon Worship Cult came from. Because that's the reason for everything.

When the thread was untied, Fang Yu suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment.

He sneered, "You're scared, aren't you, you're afraid to be controlled by the Dragon's Golden Flame again. If not, what are you sneaking up on here? You're going to worry about Miss Eve, no kidding, Nicol Bolas-"

Nicol Bolas fell silent suddenly.

It sneered, "What's the use of talking about this now?" You don't want me to save you once because you regret it, do you? But don't say that I don't have the ability in front of that person, and even if I did, I wouldn't do that. ”

It sneered, "I prefer to see you being tortured and wailing for a while, as punishment for disrespecting me in Van Rik and Dorifin." ”

"It's a pity you can't see him wailing as he is tortured."

The words stung Nicol Bolas and made it shut its mouth. 、

Fang Yu took the opportunity to speak: "Nicol Bolas, if you want to cause a little trouble for that person, tell me about his weakness immediately. He hasn't been here for thirty years, there must be a reason, right? ”

"You're going to have to make a deal with me at the end of the day, little one," Nicol Bolas smiled, "yes, but—"

"No, you're mistaken."

Fang Plover shook his head and interrupted it - there were few people in this world who dared or had the opportunity to interrupt the Dragon Witch, but Fang Plover had clearly achieved this achievement. It's a pity that the system doesn't recognize it.

He said, "Now I ask you to answer this question and tell me about the weakness of that wanderer, why he has to prepare for decades of time for every operation, there must be something wrong with this. ”

"Boy," Nicol Bolas said in a flick of fire that had reduced the Plover to ashes—if it weren't for the fact that it was just a phantom here, "are you too arrogant?" ”

"It's up to you if you don't answer, it's a death to me anyway."

"You-"

"Ten,"

"Nine,"

"Eight,"

Fang Yu raised his hand and even began to count down.

Nicol Bolas trembled with anger and replied, "He needs to find a new body." ”

"New body?" Fang Yu was taken aback: "What does that mean?" ”

Nicol Bolas sneered: "I don't know anything, you dare to challenge him, I really don't know whether to live or die." How do you think he escaped the disaster at Fort Worm, it was the power of the dragon king, and no one was spared. ”

"He was long dead, but he made a pact with a devil so that he could say he would never die. That devil is what you call Andro, one of the 'Most High' of the Dark Saints. ”

But then he abandoned Andro and set his sights on finding his own path to godhood, in a vain attempt to replace him. As a result, he turned against Andro, and the power that Andro bestowed upon him turned into a curse. ”

"But he was a genius, and he made a deal with Lifgard in the Sacred Sword of Moya, and used Lifgard's power to break Andro's curse, and he became a half-dead state ever since."

"After his death, he traveled through the 'dragon kingdom' of the dark dragon in the form of a soul, and incarnated as a beam of purple fire, because it was the manifestation of Lifgard's power. With the help of this power, he can take the bodies of others. ”

"And those who have taken his body from him become servants and minions of Livegard, walking between the present world, and this is the agreement between him and the dragon king."

Unfortunately, he and Lifgard were scheming with each other, and he did not want to be enslaved by Lifgard, and soon after, betrayed the dark dragon king again. And, in turn, he wanted to dominate the power of Lifgard. ”

"That's why there are those stories that follow—"

Nicol Bolas replied, "In a sense, I also have to thank him for his ambition, otherwise I would not have come into this world." It's a pity that this man is a madman, he thinks he is the master of the world. ”

"And when he betrayed Lifgard, two forces left a permanent mark on him, so that he was now a wandering ghost for most of his existence, and it took every ten years or so for him to regather his strength and obtain a suitable body—"

Fang Yu's heart moved, and he subconsciously asked:

"The soul of the person who was robbed of his body still exists."

"It's nature. It is better to live than to die, for the power of Lifgard will keep them imprisoned forever. ”

When Fang Yu heard this, several images flashed through his mind—he seemed to see the armor that staggered and fell in front of Attila and Sky Blue. There is also the empty armor of the eldest son of the Duke of Phoenix, who strangely passed through the wind and snow in front of Sophie.

And the purple flame figures he had seen in the battle outside the Hall of a Thousand Gates.

I see.

Attila also reacted: "Who is the person who was robbed of his body this time?" ”

"I don't know," replied Nicol Bolas, "but I know who it was last time." ”

Fang Yu actually guessed who it was, and the name that flashed in his mind was - Eltaut Ellingland.

The other is a close friend of the dwarven Hagston, and Karatu and Joshoud must have known how their companions were controlled by the wanderers, but they were powerless in the face of Lifgard's curse.

Hageston had stolen the Dragon's Gold, and Joshoud knew this but didn't stop it, and he must have understood what was going on. The dwarf tries to save his friend, but in the end he has to accept the wanderer's bewitchment.

That's why Dorriffin is everything.

It's just that not many people know the inside story of that deal a hundred years later, but judging by the armor of Eltaut in the graveyard, it seems that the dwarf did not get any of the results he wanted other than a copy of the name of the betrayer.

So the two people on top of the log.

The daughter of the Rogersel family, Eltaut Ellingland, has all been found. Only the last person remained, still a fog.

But Fang Yu can't care so much.

He had heard Nicol Bolas's implication that the wanderer was not dead, that he was still alive, and that he was probably here and about to meet them. Until then, he has to figure out the weaknesses of the other party.

Cursed by the Dragon Lord and a Dark Saint, he couldn't be unharmed.

"So what is his weakness?"

"Is it useful to tell you about his weaknesses?" Nicol Bolas's voice was full of sarcasm: "The so-called weakness is relative, and for you, the other party is a person close to God. Can a rat catch a goshawk's weakness? ”

Fang Yu was very angry and said, "Then why are you talking to me about this!?" ”

Nicol Bolas probably felt a little bored himself, so he replied, "Well, after he takes a person's body, it will take some time to regain his strength. It shouldn't have been long since he seized the body this time, and I'm afraid his strength is not even tenth-twelve-"

Fang Yu calculated the time when Duke Phoenix's eldest son disappeared, and it was indeed less than half a year since now.

Speaking of this, Nicol Bolas took a breath and said, "It's a pity that you ruined my plan in Van Rik, otherwise if I hadn't been hit by the 'Shuma' dragon spear, I wouldn't have needed you to take action, and I would have killed him in this state myself." ”

"This man is thoughtful, and this time he has come here in such a hurry for some reason, and under normal conditions, you will not see him again until at least seven or eight years later. At that time, even your ten kings together were no match for him. ”

A flash of lightning flashed in Fang Yu's heart, and he suddenly asked, "Wait, you said that Van Rick was not his plan?" ”

"Of course not, there is someone in the Worship of the Dragons who knows the state of that man better than I do, and wants to get rid of him with my hand, which is why Van Rik did that," Nicol Bolas replied, "and I am happy to push the boat with the water." ”

Fang Yu nodded: "Okay, I understand." ”

It's just that his voice just fell. In the dark corridor, a faint voice came:

"Wonderful discourse," said the voice, which was low and hoarse, but had a power that could shake people's hearts. A middle-aged man who looked completely different from the eldest son of Duke Phoenix walked out of the darkness with a stubble and a stubble that did not look like the eldest son of Duke Phoenix.

The other party's face was a little pale, almost like a vampire, in the deep sockets, the godless eyes looked at Fang Yuan fixedly, and slowly spoke: "But how do you know that you don't have my share of credit for your defeat in Van Rick, Nicol Bolas?" ”

When Fang Yu saw this person, he took a step back as if he had seen a ghost.

It was about the first time he had felt scared since his expedition today. Because the middle-aged man standing in front of him was none other than the contemporary head of the Rose family, Drise's father, Count Cillin Sibica.

And the barefoot little girl behind the other party, who is not Drissy?

It's just that the other party looked dazed, as if he didn't recognize him.

Fang Yu turned his gaze again, and saw Eve, who was caught by Count Sirin-Sibica.

And Eve looked at him the same. A hint of anxiety flashed in his eyes, and he didn't care much, so he immediately shouted: "Mr. Ed, the mechanism is not on the other side of the wall!" Under the bed, run! Get out of this place! ”
