"Why is it so quiet outside?"

Elver Yez Leonard asked with a sudden frown.

In addition to him, there was only one monk in the house who was arranged to take care of his daily life. The latter lit the soothing incense in the brass hanging stove, closed the lid, and then turned back and replied softly:

"My lord, it must be time for vespers again."

Elver rubbed his eyebrows, and then remembered this incident. He wondered if he had been a little too nervous these days to forget such an important matter, and while closing the scroll in his hand with gold thread depicting the "North Evens Lynskolius" on the spine, he said, "You go and prepare, and I will also have evening prayers." ”

"Yes, sir."

The monk bowed to him slightly, put down what he was doing, and turned to exit the room.

……

In the main hall on the right, Blackber the Grey Whistle and several of the Redeemed are trying to pry some useful information out of the captured monks, but unfortunately they don't get much. The monks knew that they had been instructed to look after a 'guest' from the north, but they were all ordered not to have direct contact with the 'guest', so they could not ask why.

According to the monks, only a handful of people were allowed to enter the room where the 'guest' was, but it seems that they were unlucky, and the monks all fell in pools of blood in the previous battle.

Blackcock, of course, didn't believe a word from the people of the Temple, who seemed to him to be the embodiment of evil, cunning dark believers, full of lies and discredited.

He put the blade around the monks' necks, contemplating whether to make an example of them, but hesitated - the boy seemed to him to be a little too righteous, and although he regarded the people of the temple as enemies as they did, he was not necessarily accustomed to doing things to those who were defenseless.

And it was at this time that Blackbow saw the girl named Momiji hurriedly walking out from the direction of the main hall on the right, and whispered to them, "Someone has come out again." ”

"Caught?" Knwey greeted him, took a few steps, and asked the other in a low tone.

Momiji looked at them and nodded, "Ed, he asked you to go over and have a look." ”

……

The monk who had come out of the room fell into the hands of Miss Nightingale almost as soon as he left the room.

A dagger silently crossed in the darkness, pressed a cold blade against the former's neck, and then a suppressed, deep voice, like an insect crawling over the leaves, rustled in his ear:

"You'd better not act rashly."

The other party shivered, immediately realized what was happening, and subconsciously opened his mouth to shout. But a hand had covered his mouth, and the pressure on his neck disappeared, but he was immediately punched firmly in his lower abdomen.

The monk hunched over like a shrimp in pain, but his muffled voice could not be heard from his muffled mouth as he muffled it.

Fang Yu saw Alyssa drag the half-dead monk out of the darkness.

Miss Nightingale had a languid look on her face, as if she had done a trivial thing, and threw the monk to the ground. The latter snorted, and looked up at the two of them with a pained look on his face, but his mouth was tightly tied with strips of cloth, and he could not make a sound.

Fang Yu threw an appreciative look at Alyssa.

"Well done." He praised that it was only at times like this that the reliability of the twin sister was revealed.

However, Alyssa only looked at this side a little playfully, and suddenly smiled a little narrowly: "So is this a separate compliment from the head of the group?" ”

"Of course." Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, thinking otherwise?

"Thank you, Captain." But our Miss Nightingale looked a little disappointed, and sighed faintly: "But I'd rather ask for something more practical than that." ”

"A more practical reward? That's ......" Fang Yu looked at the other party a little puzzled.

There's an inexplicable glint in Alyssa's eyes and she chuckles.

She suddenly approached, pointed to her moist lips with her fingertips, and said with a breath: "Captain, do you remember the first time we met?" ”

Ha?

Fang Yu was a little stunned for a while, and couldn't help but look at the other party with his mouth wide open.

But he suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but subconsciously take a step back, blocking his right cheek with his hand, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Alyssa caught this very keenly and asked with a smile, "...... So, the head of the regiment? ”

"When, of course not, love, Miss Elisa......"

Fang Yu didn't even know where to put his hands and feet for a while, he didn't know what kind of madness their Miss Nightingale had caused to talk about such a thing at such a time.

Although it was only the two of them right now, but、But、But、Someone in his heart is already in his heart。

"Giggles—" Miss Nightingale burst into a string of silver bell-like laughter, leaning back and forth, but fortunately no one could hear their conversation in the dark corridor.

"Where did you go, our dear leader?" Only then did she reach out and gently pat the moonstone communication crystal on her chest, and said with a smile: "Okay, Miss Sylvide, I have tested it for you, but our head master is quite loyal." ”

The crystal lit up slightly, and the quiet voice of the ship's master officer came out: "Actually, I don't mind, Miss Elisa." ”

"Yes, the head of the group is very cute, yes, but it's a pity that it's not my type." Alyssa replied with a smile.

Fang Yu didn't know at this time that he was being teased again—why did he use it? He glared at the other party angrily, and then asked in a low voice, "Sylvide, what's the matter?" ”

"We're ready."

Fang Yu faintly heard the sound of sky blue laughter coming from there, and knew that he had another big embarrassment, and even threw an annoyed look at Miss Nightingale on the side, and then replied: "I understand, wait for the signal from our side, Sylvid." ”

"Understood, my captain."

Fang Yu watched the light of the communication crystal dim, and was about to say something. But Alyssa hurriedly smiled and preemptively said: "That's the head of the group himself thinking crookedly, I just said that the head of the group still remembers the dagger he only made for us at that time, after all, this fake in Alyssa's hand has been used for a long time." ”

Fang Yu was speechless for a while.

"Then you don't have to be so ......"

"Isn't it natural for a girl to be subtle," Alyssa grinned, and kicked the fallen monk with her foot, "but there are still a few minutes left, so let's interrogate this guy first." ”

Did you know that there are only a few minutes to spare?

Fang Yu couldn't help but slander in his heart, but Alyssa's words did remind him, so he had to give up pursuing the matter and walked over with a sigh.

Alyssa was still asking, "But Captain, how are you going to get them to speak?" As far as I know, these people are very fanatical, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they regard death as home, are you going to use that ......? ”

Fang Yu glanced sideways at her, and it seemed that Miss Nightingale had also guessed his intentions, but he was angry, and did not answer, but walked over and dragged the monk up from the ground.

The other party had a strip of cloth over his mouth, and only looked at the two of them with a look of horror, he had already recognized the identity of the two Chosen One—and only the Chosen One had such a strange conversation.

He also roughly guessed the other party's intention, but in the face of Fang Yuan's gaze, he only went back without dodging, as if telling the two people in front of him with his eyes - swearing to the Storm Lord Adan that he would not say anything.

Unfortunately, Fang Yu was indifferent to this gaze, he only reached into his arms, felt a thin rope, and pulled the pendant tied to the end of the thin rope with his hand.

He looked at the other party calmly, a golden light flashed in his dark eyes, and said: "I know that you are not afraid of death, but there are many definitions of death, have you ever heard of the shadows under the dragon's wings?" ”

A golden flame rose from his fingertips.

The monk couldn't speak, but his eyes widened, the shadow of the dragon witch had shrouded the north for more than a year, and how many people had not heard of the prophecy of death at this moment?

He seemed to be reminded of the rumors about these people - Nicol Bolas's followers, and the dark dragon's ability to capture people's starlight was also rumored to be mysterious.

Ordinary people may not know what the golden flame represents, but how can the followers of these temples of the other sect not know that it is the golden flame of the dragon.

Venus, whose embers fall into the dust, is said to be the flame of the end that will burn everything and leave nothing behind.

Even Starlight -

Cold sweat flowed from the monk's forehead, his eyes widened, he made a whining sound, and struggled to escape, but Miss Nightingale pressed a hand on his shoulder, and he couldn't move.

Fang Yu extinguished the flames with a flick of his hand, but the golden halo flowing in his eyes did not disappear, he looked at the other party, and said quietly: "Next I ask, you answer." ”

"And you just have to answer yes or no, get it?"

The monk turned pale and hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Fang Yu ripped off the strip of cloth from the other party's mouth, and at the same time glanced at Alyssa on the side. Miss Nightingale pressed one hand on the monk's shoulder, and with the other she took out a slender crystal from her pocket.

I didn't see how she activated the crystal, and the crystal lit up slightly, and the magic circle engraved in it lit up layer by layer, and then converged into a beam of light, hitting the center of the monk's eyebrows.

It's something like a scroll in many magical stories, where elemental envoys and magicians pre-infuse their spells into these crystals engraved with a circle of magic and preserve them. Those who have mastered the art of using it will be able to re-energize the spells from these crystals.

It was a spell they had prepared in advance, and this spell was not mastered by the elemental envoys, and as a naturalist, Kita and the chest that only mastered the power spell could not be cast, but the Tower of the Star and the Moon in Gula Harbor had a spell service, and it was not difficult to buy this kind of low-level magic storage crystal.

However, the first spell was prompted by the system to fail, and low-level spells had the trouble of low-level spells, just like they had never considered using this thing on the Patriarch, and it was impossible to succeed at all.

However, even for these low-level believers, the fanatical belief also gave them a firm will, Fang Yu first shook the other party's mind with words, and then let Miss Nightingale make a move, but now it seems that the success rate is still only five or five.

Noticing this detail, he couldn't help but be a little glad that he was cautious.

And the monk only felt a flash of white light, and then he realized something, looked back at the crystal in Alyssa's hand, and couldn't help but be shocked and angry:

"You ......"

But before he could finish speaking, Alyssa activated a second spell, this time finally indicating that the spell had succeeded.

The white light hit the monk's forehead, and after the other party shook slightly, his expression suddenly calmed down, and his eyes revealed a trace of dazedness.

And it was at this time that Momiji and Sand Night came here with Blackbow and his party.

"What is this?" As soon as Momiji saw the empty crystal that Alyssa had thrown on the ground, he immediately understood that the two had succeeded.

However, time was limited, and Fang Yu didn't have time to explain the current situation to them, so he only looked at the monk and said, "We are your friends, and the people above have asked us to protect that adult, but we need to know some information, and you must answer us truthfully." ”

The monk's eyes glazed over, and he repeated with some smugness: "Yes, you were sent by the adults above to protect that lord, and I will answer your questions truthfully." ”

Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, he paused for a moment, and then asked, "Let's confirm the target first, is the adult inside from the Altoria region?" ”

"The adult inside is from the Altoria region."

"Somewhere in the Altoria area, is it Snow Rock Castle?"

The monk frowned, as if recalling the term, and nodded.

Fang Yu couldn't help but look at the others, and the tense nerves relaxed at this time, what they were most afraid of was that Zhang Guan and Li Dai had found the wrong person, but at least half of them were confirmed at the moment.

"What are you doing here?"

The monk looked blank and replied, "...... He is responsible for serving the living of the Lord. ”

"You're alone?"

"No, there are a few others with me."

"Are they all here?"

"They're resting in the hall outside, and none of us can leave the right hall without permission."

Fang Yu nodded, which also matched the information they had received before, and then continued to ask: "That lord, did you arrive at Gula with the others, and who else?" ”

The monk nodded, indicating that several other guests from the north had arrived with the lord, but they were not in the sanctuary.

When Fang Yu asked where those people were and the identity of the other party, the monk didn't know anything. But this was also expected.

He asked a few more in-depth questions, but unfortunately he didn't know much about them, and he asked a few questions about the Shadow Artists, and then to his surprise, the monks didn't seem to know much about the Shadow Figures either.

All they knew was that the Sanctuary was fighting against the Dragon Witch, and that the Shadowmen were from the same world, and their enemies were the drakes and dragon minions.

Hearing this answer, Momiji on the side couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Could it be that we guessed wrong, the Crowclaw Sanctuary actually has nothing to do with the Shadow Man?" ”

But Alyssa shook her head.

Miss Nightingale reversed her previous laughter and replied very seriously, "It is also possible that these low-level believers do not know the truth and are not necessarily. It only takes a closer thought to understand that the more people who know a secret, the less likely it is to hide it. ”

"Indeed," Momiji reacted, "—if the Crowclaw Sanctuary was disguised by dark cultists up and down, then I'm afraid they would have aroused the suspicion of the others." ”

Fang Yu turned around and asked the other party a question about Aidanrian.

The monk swore that the Lord of the Storm had risen back to life and returned to this world, and his emotions seemed to be a little agitated for a moment, as if he were about to break free from the shackles of the spell.

Mind control was not a powerful control spell, and Fang Yu didn't dare to go deeper on this issue, for fear that because these fanatical believers were too excited, the spell would fail.

He still has important questions to ask.

He hurriedly said a few kind words to the other party in order to calm the fanatical believer, and then asked, "Since you are serving the life of that lord, why do you come out at this time, is it time for a change of shift?" ”

The monk shook his head, still in a flat tone, and replied, "No, it's just that the lord asked me to help him prepare for the vespers ceremony." ”

Fang Yuan's eyes lit up slightly, thinking that this was really a no-brainer, he hurriedly asked, "What do you need to prepare for the vespers ceremony?" ”

……

Elver Yaz Leonard looked at the monk who had left earlier, pushed the door open and walked in.

He didn't pay much attention to the other party, only straightened his robe, then took out the crest of the Raven Lord from the drawer and walked in the direction of the altar in the room.

Without saying a word, the monk arranged every religious article for the vespers ceremony, and after carefully wiping down the sanctuary, he bowed to him slightly:

"My lord, if you don't have any requirements, I'll go out first."

Elver noticed that the other man's voice was a little wooden, but he didn't pay much attention to the rest of the prayer ritual.

Besides, these lower-level acolytes were already trembling in front of him, if the other party's tone was natural, maybe he would have to be suspicious.

"Get out," he said lightly, "no one is allowed to come in without my permission." ”

The monk bowed, withdrew, and closed the door.

Elver didn't think much of it, turned around, held the emblem in his hand, and had just closed his eyes and was about to say the prayer, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a low mechanical sound.

He was slightly startled, and couldn't help but reopen his eyes, but before he could find the source of the sound, suddenly something even stranger completely attracted his attention.

He saw that above the altar, suddenly two faint flames appeared, and the flames took on a faint purple light, like a pair of eyes watching him in that place.

Then the flame spread out in all directions, gradually forming the shape of a changing person, the purple flame of the human form may have been a vague silhouette to outsiders, but in the eyes of the Patriarch from Altori, it seemed to see something more incredible.

He froze in place as if he had been hit by a petrification spell, his mouth wide open, and he subconsciously let out a frightened question.

And in the room, in the darkness, in full view of everyone.

Fang Yu only patted his control gloves lightly, and then heard the voice with some fear and uneasiness coming from his communication crystal.

"Flow, quicksand...... You—Aren't you supposed to be in the White City, how did you get to Gula ......? ”

The voice, which was not too high, fell into everyone's hearts like a thunderbolt.

And made Fang Yu suddenly raise his head, his eyes full of shock.

Quicksand?

How could it be him?

……
