Chapter 164: Dragon's Claw

Fang stood in place and thought silently for a moment, but he still didn't have a clue, but he heard Bai Jia asking someone on the side. Sylvid nudged him and got him up.

"Who are you looking for?"

"I'd like to meet Mr. Ed."

"So do you know him?"

"I've played with him."

Fang looked at the young man not far away, and the group behind him, and realized that it was the team from Is, and he had also given the other party an all-round plug-in at that time.

"Is that you?"

He couldn't help but pause, he thought that the other party had gone back to the hotel, but he never thought that he would stay in the square. But fortunately, I didn't go back, Van Rik's hotels are mostly concentrated in the downtown area between the port and the central square, and most of the people who go back have been lucky and lucky, and the loss of Starlight has been resurrected.

When the young man saw him, he hurriedly replied, "Mr. Ed, I heard that you are looking for someone. ”

When Fang heard this, he immediately asked, "Yes, have you seen that person?" ”

Bai Jia saw that Fang really knew these people, so he put down his hand and let them pass.

The young man nodded, "Mr. Ed, if you're looking for your opponent at the time, we've seen him go in the direction of the museum with some people." ”

Fang couldn't help but look east, and the vault of the tall building glistened in the sunlight, and it could be seen clearly from a few blocks away. It is the Van Rik Alchemy Museum, its history is not very long, it was built after the earthlings came to this world, and it is only seventeen years old today, and it can even be said that it is still very young compared to this city.

But what is the other party going to the museum for, the intention of this kind of alchemy museum is to show the history of the development of alchemy in a place, and most of the things in it are closely related to the context of the changes in alchemy technology. In short, they are all old antiques, and there is nothing valuable in them, but they are all localized alchemy tools and works.

Some people may say that Noumerin is an ancient relic of Noumerin, but not to mention that most of the ancient relics are flashy, or they are either technologically backward or incompatible with the current technological landscape. And even if there are ancient relics of Noumerin, they will not be placed in such a museum, and most of them are hidden in the deepest part of the Elffindor Spire by the alchemists of the Elffindor Council.

The thought flashed through his mind, but it was only a flash of lightning. Thinking of this, he turned around and asked, "Who did he go with and what characteristics did those people have?" ”

"The men were dressed in gray robes with no conspicuous insignia on them. However, there was a battle in the square at the time, and when one of them passed through the city guard, his robe was inadvertently lifted, and I happened to see the outfit under the man's robe, which seemed to be a person from the Shadow Throne," the young man thought for a moment, and added: "But it's not a Shadow Throne contestant, I saw the Shadow Throne contestant before that it seems to be still in the square." ”

Hearing that Rollin was with the people of the Shadow Throne, Fang felt a sigh in his heart, and his first reaction was his own premonition, and the feeling of uneasiness before seemed to rise again. He calmed himself down first and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Tuya, and this is my ID."

"So graffiti, can you take responsibility for what you say?" Fang asked.

Tuya hesitated, but nodded: "I'm not entirely sure, by the way, those people seem to have rings on their hands, and they are in the same position, but they are too far apart for me to see clearly." He looked at the others: "They can all testify." ”

Everyone nodded.

Hearing the ring, Fang couldn't help but think of the form of the emblem of the Worship Dragon Cult that he had seen in Dorifin.

Generally speaking, there are three ways for the Bailong Sect to prove their identity, the first is the kind of brooch they first got from the Black Goat Chamber of Commerce.

However, it was only later that they figured out that the brooch was the most direct identity certificate of the Worship Dragon Sect, and each brooch was given by the superior 'mentor' of the Worship Dragon Sect, and one of the emblems corresponded to a believer, and there would never be a duplication of identity.

The loyalty of believers is often the sole responsibility of the 'teacher' who introduced them to the religion, and one 'teacher' is responsible for three believers. Unless it is to find out the general person in charge of a region, arresting one or two lower-level believers of the Bailong Sect will not hurt the organization itself at all.

As for the second way for the Worship of the Dragons to prove their identity, that is to wear a cloak with the seal of the Worship of the Dragons. However, they only wore such cloaks in gatherings and public events, so as to make it easier to distinguish between friend and foe.

The most direct example of this is during the Great War of Dorifin, when almost all the followers of the Dragon Worship Cult wore such a cloak.

Finally, there are rings.

Because rings are the most intimate and easy to wear, they are often used in secret activities and joints to verify each other's identities. As soon as Fang heard the other party talk about the ring, he almost immediately thought of this.

He further speculated that these people must have taken advantage of the chaos to leave the square while the military and the city guards were fighting.

But what exactly are they going to do in the direction of the museum?

At this time, a young man in the group suddenly spoke: "Actually, there is one thing, I don't think everyone cares. ”

Fang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?" ”

"The most conspicuous building in that direction is, of course, the Van Rique Museum, but the workshop of the Rose Workshop is also nearby."

Fang was shocked when he heard this, he had never heard of such a thing, and couldn't help but look at Sylvide on the side. I saw that the nobleman's daughter frowned and thought for a moment, and replied: "There is such a saying, but it is just a branch of the Rose Workshop in the city, and it is only the property that nominally belongs to the Xilin-Sibika family, but in fact there is nothing of value in it. ”

"But I've heard that there are a lot of tourists there on weekdays."

"That's right."

"But there's a teleportation array in there, which can lead directly to the upper level of Alffindor."

"It's seventy-seven floors, and dozens of floors up is the airport area," Sylvid replied, "But now that the entire Elffindor has lost its energy, the teleportation array can no longer be used." ”

But Fang suddenly raised his head.

A heavy light flashed in his eyes, and the seventy-seventh floor of the Elffindor Spire came to his mind. He'd heard of this place, not only had he'd heard of it, but he'd even been there once in the past few days.

Because that's the sightseeing hall of the Elffindor Minaret.

The hall has a spacious exhibition hall that can also be seen as a small museum, which is only open to visitors on public days, and the viewing platform where you can not only see the whole of Van Rik and the corner of the long lake, but also display some of the proud history of the Elffindor Council.

Even a hundred years ago, during the Battle of the Ashen Mountains, the three major families of the South, including the Council of Elffindor, did everything they could to help the legendary dragon slayer hero.

Joshud slashed off Nicol Bolas' horn and claw during the legendary battle, and stabbed Nicol Bolas with a dragon's golden eye. And the severed horn was guarded by Joshud's descendants for generations until it was taken by Nicol Bolas at the Traveler's Rest.

But one of the claws cut off is the result of the council.

The alchemists of the time, imitating the dwarves who displayed the bones of the dragon king in the Holy Casting Hall, equipped the dragon's claw with an alchemical skeleton, and also displayed it for the world to remember every hero who died in the war at that time.

And the place where the Dragon's Claw is displayed is naturally the sightseeing hall.

He suddenly realized that he had been ignoring this detail.

Or maybe it was because the other party used all kinds of means and tricks to attract everyone's attention to the center of the ice feldspar tower. Of course, the invasion of the Echnomers and Koras, and the disappearance of the city's enchantments, are closely linked to each other, and people also ignore these more important things.

Fang almost intuitively felt that this might be the true purpose of the Dragon Worship Sect.

He also confirmed Rollin's identity in an instant.

He asked in a deep voice, "Is the teleportation array a two-way teleportation array or a one-way teleportation array?" ”

"It's one-way," the man replied, "I'm very interested in teleportation arrays, and I've specialized in alchemical teleportation arrays everywhere. ”

Fang Wenyan's heart couldn't help sinking.

To achieve two-way transmission in a one-way teleportation array, two circles, one outside and one inside, are required. He could fully understand the designer's idea, in the event of an emergency, the craftsman could close the outer circle, so that the circle left inside the Elffindor Spire would become a one-way circle that could only be transmitted out, not in.

This can be extremely beneficial to the defending side when adverse conditions occur.

At the same time, due to the existence of the defensive barrier in the Elffindor Spire, it can also prevent the enemy from directly entering the tower after mastering the outer magic circle. But the problem is, no one would have imagined that one day the enemy would come from the upper echelons of the council, and as a result, Elffindor's defenses would collapse from within.

At this moment, the two separate magic circles will naturally not be powered by the unified use of the ice feldspar in the Elffindor Spire, presumably the outer circle has a special main core crystal in the workshop.

This leads to a terrible result

The defensive barrier inside the Elffindor Spire is no longer valid, but the outer circle on the Rose Workshop can actually be transmitted into the spire and reach the observation hall. And because of the failure of the defensive barrier, the hall is almost equal to an undefended state at the moment.

And due to the inertia of thinking, in fact, not many people seem to be aware of this at the moment.

When Bai Jia heard this, his face became serious for the first time, and he immediately said, "I have to inform the captain immediately." ”

"Is it too late for us to return to Alffindor now?" The people of Isis didn't expect that there was such a big conspiracy behind this, and they all looked very nervous for a while. As life professionals, their journey from Isis to Van Rik was probably their biggest adventure since becoming the Electors.

But when did you think that you would be involved in such an incident?

"Nope." Fang replied.

He raised his head and looked at the minaret beneath the blue sky, the towering white pillars, the densely packed window holes, and it was impossible to tell which floor was the seventy-seventh floor from the ground.

He couldn't help but feel a little dizzy for a while.

It was not easy to retract his gaze, and then he replied: "Alfondo is connected to the upper and lower floors through three elevators, one of which leads directly to the airport area, but these elevators can only be driven when the main core crystal is working. ”

"Don't they have a backup source of mana?"

"Yes," replied Sylvid this time, "but it takes half an hour to start." ”

At this time, Bai Jia also put down the communication crystal, and said to them with a calm face: "All the combat craftsmen have gone to the front line, and it will take them at least a quarter of an hour to rush back, and the front line is tight, so they may not be able to pull away." ”

Everyone couldn't help but be silent when they heard this.

Everyone deeply felt the meticulousness of each other's plans in their hearts, and everyone present played a trick.

The fact that the combat craftsman cannot return means that the spare floating ship cannot be activated. Although the mages and elemental envoys could also fly short distances, it was almost impossible to fly to the seventy-seventh floor, an altitude of nearly two or three hundred meters.

As soon as Fang heard this, he didn't say a word, and walked directly towards the east of the square. Seeing this, the others probably guessed what he was thinking, and followed one by one. And only Bai Jia stopped them from behind: "Wait, where are you going?" ”

"Go to the workshop."

"Is it too late?"

Fang shook his head: "I don't know, but you can't sit still." ”

"That workshop is also in the submerged area," Bai Jia replied, "I can't say that there are already epilephals over there, I'm afraid you can't go there like this." ”

Bai Jia looked at the others calmly and replied, "You are life professionals, it is best to stay and inform the others to see if anyone is willing to go with me." ”

Then she looked at Fang: "You too, stay in this place, and I'll go for you." ”

"But you can't activate the teleportation array," Fang replied, "I'm a battle craftsman." ”

Bai Jia was stunned.

She only thought for a moment before nodding: "It's okay, then I'll go with you." ”

Fang looked at Sylvid again, only to see that Miss Ship Officer had pulled out the silver handcuff from behind her, and looked at him with a slight smile. "That workshop is the property of the Cillin-Sbicca family." With just one sentence, she blocked back his later words.

Fang opened his mouth, looked at the two of them, and could only nod.

"That's it"

The group immediately dispersed.

In the live broadcast room, when the accident happened, the front-line staff were instructed to start recycling the equipment, after all, they were here to broadcast the game, not the accident.

It's just that it will take some time to put away the projection crystals and clockwork fairies everywhere, so there are still pictures in the live broadcast room at the moment. It's just that at this time, there is no staff to adjust the angle of view, so the camera is always located in the square.

Most of the audience in the live broadcast room has dispersed, while the rest of the people are looking at the chaotic square and discussing everything that happened before. After all, such things are rare in their real lives.

But it was at this time that suddenly someone said:

"Look, something seems to be going on over there."

Everyone followed the sound and suddenly saw a group of people leaving the square. And the one who took the lead, they just happened to know, was Fang.

"What are they doing?"

People couldn't help but be stunned.

Above the square, the staff is putting away a clockwork elf.

Naturally, he noticed the commotion in the corner of the square, but the aborigines had nothing to do with him, and he just glanced indifferently in that direction, and then planned to put the tool back in the box.

It's just that at this time, a hand reached out from the side and held his hand. The staff was stunned, and when they looked back, they realized that it was the main person in charge of the team.

"Wait a minute," the other said, and he also looked in that direction and gestured with his hand, "Let the goblin fly over and take a look." ”

"But"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of the responsibility."

……

Fang finally adopted Bai Jia's suggestion.

He informed the Elffindor Council and the military of his analysis, and both sides quickly came to a conclusion that was almost in line with him.

It's just that at the same time as the manpower was discharged, the council directly gave him the highest authority, and Su Changfeng also gave him full authority to mobilize the adventurers in the square, so Fang quickly pulled up a team.

However, he thought twice and finally rejected Sophie's suggestion to join the team.

"Sister Bai Jia can go, why can't I," This made Her Royal Highness the princess of Silver Vislan very dissatisfied: "Do you have any opinions about me and Akane?" ”

Fang could only explain to the other party, after all, this side of the square still needed a reliable person to take charge of the work of the Elector.

After dealing with the Worship Dragon Sect so much, he also learned to be cautious in case the other party would have any follow-ups. Although Sophie reluctantly accepted this statement, it was obvious that she still frowned at him for a while.

Fang asked Luo Yu and Ji Ta to stay in the square together, one was also for the same considerations, and the other was to facilitate contact with Miss Atira and the others. After that, he went with the others in the direction of the Van Rique Museum.

In fact, not far from that was Jackdaw Street, where they had experienced a battle a few days earlier, and the traces of that battle are still visible today. Not to mention the ruins of those buildings, which are impossible to clean up in a few days.

And the second time he walked through this place again, Fang still felt a little emotional. In fact, he wondered if he was going on some bad luck, how could he go anywhere and not be safe, and this kind of thing happened twice in just a few days?

Only this time, the road was much calmer than the last time.

In fact, up to the small square in front of the Van Rique Museum, they did not encounter any enemies. The spirits of the dead of that day seem to have long since disappeared in the sunlight today, leaving no trace.

It's just that Fang Xin understands that if he goes further, it won't be so easy to go.

The block in front of the Van Rik Museum is called Boulevard de la Wave, and I don't know if it's because of the unfortunate name, but when the flood water poured in, the inundation area was just up to this street.

Fang, Bai Jia, and Sylvede crossed an alley and saw gurgling water across the stone slabs. Further down there is a low-lying land, which looks like a country from a distance.

"The water is waist-deep," said an adventurer who waded back from the front and said to the crowd, "You can wade through." ”

Fang Ye also took back the clockwork goblin, looked ahead, and said to everyone: "Be careful, there seem to be signs of fish-man activity in our southeast. ”

Everyone nodded.

……
