Chapter 126: Notes Under the Dust

Walking downstairs to the apartment, before going upstairs, Fang Yu first checked the carriage and the corpse in front of him.

He walked to the side of the carriage, only to see that the carriage had long been corroded by the acidic spit of the bone dragon, the roof was empty, and the seats and the inner walls of the carriage were charred. Opening the shattered door, there is a suitcase in the compartment, and it looks like the original owner is planning to travel far away.

However, Fang Yu knew that the original owner might not necessarily be the person he was looking for, and the carriage was not necessarily owned by the official, so he only quickly rummaged through the contents of the box, and did not find any valuable clues.

Fang Ou withdrew from the carriage again, walked to the front and looked at the corpses of the two horses—the two horses had long been corroded to the point that they were almost skeletons, and knelt forward, their charred intestines hanging from their gray ribs, and the white smoke still lingering—he frowned and walked around the stenching place, and observed the scene from the front.

From this direction, the bone dragon's spitting range almost completely covered the carriage, and he raised his head to calculate the path of the other party's flight at that time, which was nothing more than a gesture for the battle craftsman.

The streets were empty, and the only thing that had been attacked, apart from the damaged buildings, was the horse-drawn carriage. Fang Yu pondered for a moment, opened the community and typed in the words 'Van Rick, Jackdaw Street', and hundreds of entries immediately refreshed down on the community—not too many entries compared to the history of the community, but very few.

This is also about the fact that the street is nameless.

However, excluding those unrelated errors in the entries, Fang Yu was able to sift through the remaining 100 records to find useful information for himself: travel notes and city guides, including written records left by the electors, as well as photos and videos of tourists.

From these written records, photos and videos, it can be known that Jackdaw Street is a street dominated by commerce and handicrafts, and most of the various handicraft workshops on both sides of the street are busy.

In such a place, after the bone dragon flew down, only this carriage would be attacked?

Or was it the only thing it was supposed to do?

Then the answer is coming. Of course, Fang Yu wasn't sure yet, because in his opinion, the Dragon Worship Sect didn't seem to be able to play such a delicate operation, and they would still care if they would hurt passers-by? Thirty years ago, the Dorifin speaks volumes.

He only jotted down the suspicion, and then walked on, until he reached the charred corpse.

Fang Yu checked it and immediately concluded that the other party was not his target - although he didn't have much experience with the autopsy, he could also see that this corpse was not the corpse of an adult male, but more like an old man in terms of height and posture.

The difference between the two is still very obvious.

He looked closely for a moment, and noticed that there seemed to be a metallic luster on the hands of the bones, and his heart moved, and he removed it, only to realize that it was a seal ring. Fang Yu himself had no accomplishment in heraldry, but fortunately he had an encyclopedic lady companion to show Miss Elf a discernment—Tata had now learned a great deal about the present-day nobles of Aitalia—and received the answer as expected.

This is the seal of the official, and it seems that the old man must be the servant or steward of the official, and his status should not be low, at least much higher than that of the dwarf servant in Goland, because ordinary people cannot keep the master's seal.

It seems that this person is more similar to the other party's cronies or close people, but unfortunately the corrosion destroyed most of the clues, and Fang Yu could not find more useful records from his clothes or the paper information he kept.

After checking the vicinity of the carriage and making sure that nothing was missing, Fang Yu turned around and walked towards the apartment. He only stopped by the carriage for a few minutes, and according to his estimate, it would take at least a quarter of an hour for the official Van Rik to reach this place, leaving him plenty of time.

It's just that he is a little curious, why hasn't Sophie and Akane arrived around here yet? Looking back, there was no sign of the two of them - Shesta and Baggins were also hiding, and he was the only one in the ruin-strewn street.

Fang Yu turned this thought in his heart, and walked outside the door of the apartment - a large hole was opened on the second and third floors of the apartment, and nearly two-thirds of the building structure was missing, but the first floor was still well preserved. He habitually pushed the door in, but it collapsed and slammed into the ruins behind it, sending a cloud of smoke and dust.

Fang Yu thought he was unlucky, couldn't help coughing twice, and entered the building while fanning the dust with his hands. He remembered that Sophie had told him that the official's residence was on the third floor of the apartment, and when he looked up, he saw that the staircase connecting the place was mostly preserved, but it seemed a little crumbling.

He thought to himself that this place wouldn't collapse like this, would it?

As expected, he had only walked up the stairs for a few steps, and the stairs actually fell down with a bang. Fortunately, Fang Yu has been vigilant, and when he raised his hand, he flew towards the wall on one side with one claw - but he didn't expect that the claw had just grabbed the wall on that side, and the seemingly solid wall also fell backwards.

In the midst of a rumbling sound, Fang Yu finally climbed up to the third floor from the other side of the outer wall with a disgraced face, and he couldn't help but pat the dust off his body, and could only think that it was fortunate that no one else saw this scene except Miss Tata.

Climbing up to the third floor, Fang Yuan found himself in a huge hole - which seemed to have been a bedroom or study, and he could even see a large gray bed and a bookshelf also covered with rubble - only now it was mostly gone, disappearing into the huge hole behind him.

Fang Yu stood up and looked back, the original windows and walls here were long gone, and the outside was empty in the direction of the street. Having seen all sorts of battles in the community, he could make up everything that was happening almost immediately.

The bone dragon fell from the sky and shattered the wall, the other half of the room collapsed in its first attack, and then it flew down the street with a menacing momentum. The crumbling buildings on the street outside, and the long claw marks left on the walls, should have been left by this round of attacks.

Fang Plover walked to the edge of the broken ceiling and looked out, as if he saw the bone dragon turn back at the end of the street on the other side, and fly back again. This time it spitted and swept through the streets—but since most of the pedestrians had fled from the street during the first round of attacks, or had taken refuge under the buildings on either side, the spitting that swept through this time only hit the carriage.

and the old man who had just escaped from the carriage.

That's how it should be.

After sorting out these details, Fang Yu walked back from outside and began to inspect the house. He took a cursory glance inside and outside the room, and saw that the bone dragon's spitting did not affect the building, because the room could not be said to have any signs of burn or corrosion other than physical damage-

This means that the bone dragon did not make up the knife for this apartment after the first round of attacks. Is it because it achieved its goal in the first attack, so there is no need for a second attack? Fang Yu frowned and looked left and right again.

This possibility is not ruled out, if the moment the bone dragon attacks, the other party happens to be in this study, most likely it is already more than lucky. With such suspicions, Fang Yu looked back at the other rooms, and sure enough, he didn't find where the official was.

At the same time, there are no signs of attack in the other rooms.

But if it is said that the other party is just in this study, but don't say that there are broken limbs and mutilated bodies in the study, and even the blood stains can't be found, and it doesn't look like a dead person at all. Or was it that at the time of the attack, the other side happened to be buried under the wreckage along with the collapsed building?

Fang Yu stood on the third floor and looked down, and the thick wreckage of the building was piled up at least a meter deep. But he had neither the ability nor the time to check whether the official's body was buried underneath, and after thinking about it for a while, he had to retreat and see if there were any other clues in the room.

He looked at his pocket watch again, and it was almost half the time he had estimated, and there wasn't much time left.

Fang Yu knew that he had to speed up, looked up, and immediately saw a huge bookshelf on one side - the bookshelf was covered with a thick layer of ash at the moment, but the books on it caught his attention. It was a row of books with pitch-black title pages and spines, and he walked over and brushed the ashes off the spine with his hand, revealing a line of blood-colored text underneath.

His hand seemed to have barely touched the words, and a low whisper came from the book.

Fang Yu was startled, and hurriedly took a step back, only to realize that these books might not only have a different origin, but they were either evil creatures or classics of the Dragon Worship Sect. Seeing this, he had actually basically determined the relationship between the official and the Dragon Worship Sect in his heart, and the other party put these things on the bookshelf in a grand manner, which should be sure that this place was safe enough.

But he didn't expect to die at his own hands in the end.

Is it murder? This reasoning is not unreasonable, after all, so far, Fang Yu has only seen the other party have such a means to erase the star light in his hands.

But once you get caught up in this mindset, you tend to overlook some of the more detailed things. In fact, there is not only one dragon worship religion in this world, and it can be said that all the worship of the dragon can be called the predecessor of the dragon worship faith.

This doctrine is especially popular among the lizards and the snake people of the day, followed by kobolds and goblins, but there are also many kinds of dragons, and the elves of Nevad also worship their protector, the master of the Holy Bow Peak, the cloud dragon Anlothar.

And before the identity of the green dragon Torragotos was revealed, most of the human inhabitants of Fenris Island could also be said to be admirers of Torlagotos.

Are they all cultists?

Apparently not.

In fact, the cult "Dragon Worship" identified by the official Star Gate Harbor and the Cowling-Ihurian royal family as the cult actually refers only to the worshippers of the Dark Dragon, and nothing else. And it is only in these admirers that Fang Yu can find a similar commonality:

That's irrational fanaticism—

Of course, Fang Ou had heard a variety of rumors about it before - such as the fact that the Dark Dragon would grant its followers the ability to 'live forever', promising various benefits, such as gaining power or power.

But not to mention that the so-called 'eternal life' is still very debatable in his opinion, even power and power have long been a thing of the past, and now Nicol Bolas can only say that he is still breathing, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback.

Even a hundred years ago, she had only made a splash in Kaorin-Ishurian, and her impact on the whole of Aitaria was almost negligible. The days of the Dark Dragons are long gone, and now it's no longer the time when their wings could cover the sky.

But that doesn't seem to stop the Dark Dragon's followers from continuing to fanatically believe that history will repeat itself once again, and that the light of the Third Scourge will finally shine on the earth.

They didn't seem to have thought about this either, what good would the arrival of the Third Calamity do to them?

When Essorin sank beneath the abyss, he was killed not only by the inhabitants above, but also by a large number of the followers of the Dark Dragon. When disaster strikes, the light of the Evil Star will be reduced to powder regardless of whether you are a supporter or not.

Therefore, Fang Yu really couldn't understand these people's idea of 'seeking benevolence and reaping benevolence', and could only imagine that the ability to brainwash the dark dragon was really powerful. And as far as he knew, there were many 'Eternals' among those who campaigned for Nicol Bolas' revival.

And these people have already gained the power of eternal life, why should they want to give themselves an extra master above themselves for no reason? Fang Yu also did not know about this.

But the blindness and fanaticism of the dragon worshippers can at least be seen from this.

They seem to be pursuing a certain goal irrationally, so it is entirely possible for Fang Yu to give up something called reason and logic.

Thinking of this, he looked at the bookshelf in front of him again—judging from the cult texts collected on the shelves, this official from the Adventurers' Guild was probably not far from him, if not a senior 'fanatic'.

After Fang Yu withdrew from his original mindset, he immediately noticed this small doubt—would a fanatic believer choose to sacrifice for his beliefs? He didn't know much about other religions, but what he knew about the dragon-worshippers was almost certain.

So for a fanatical believer, it is still necessary to use the technique of killing people and killing people, and such a big action is needed?

There seems to be something wrong with this.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a step back, but he stepped on something. Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, looked down, and found that it was a notebook buried under the dust, he didn't notice this thing at all when he walked over, but now it seems that this seems to be a diary.

Fang Yu was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart, thinking that this wouldn't be the diary recorded by the other party, right? He knew that many of the natives in Aitalia, especially the nobles with status, often had the habit of keeping diaries and memos, and even recorded some private secrets on them.

But when he picked it up with such a mood, he couldn't help but be disappointed. The notebook did seem to be the notes recorded by the other party, but it had nothing to do with the diary, it was more like an archaeological record, Fang Yu brushed off the dust on the diary, and through the description of the words, it should be recorded some information about Idus.

Idus, the city that was reduced to ashes in the flames of the Dragon Witch.

Located on the edge of a brown-earth desert, it was once a thriving trading city, and was once the capital of the Istania region, the former home of Mazak, under the jurisdiction of the Archon of Idus.

Of course, it all lasted until that catastrophe.

The flames burned everything away, and the tragic city was never rebuilt after the disaster, and now there is only a rubble in the wind and sand that tells the story of the past. When the last refugees left, the kingdom's former region of Istania became synonymous with a desert wilderness.

It's an archaeological mecca.

Many scholars who want to learn about that period of history a hundred years ago often visit that place.

Fang Yu looked at the notes in his hand and wondered if this official was still a history buff in private? However, there is another possibility, after all, whether it is Idus or Dorifin, after all, it is all related to Nicol Bolas's past.

Could the other party's record of these be related to some truths buried under that period of history?

With this in mind, he continued to scroll down, but the records behind him were even more chaotic. It not only recorded some information about Idus, but also some families and some people, but the names of these families and people were a little unfamiliar to Fang Yuan.

He had thought that he had learned something about the aristocratic family of Kaulin-Ishurian under the tutelage of Miss Sylvede, but when he saw this list, he was still at a loss.

It was only the last familiar name that jumped into his eyes that lifted his spirits:

The Rogersel family.

There is not much written about this family in the notes, but there are only three names below:

Dontans-Rogessle.

Maryland-Rogersl.

Chrissy Ellingland

Fang Yu was slightly stunned when he saw these three names, the first two names were very familiar to him. Dontans was the consul of Dorifin thirty years ago, the grandfather of Rockren-Rogessel, and his inheritance of the Rogersl family was given by the soul of this man.

And another Maryland-Rogersel he actually knew, it was Rockran's father, Dontans's son.

But as for the last obviously woman's name, he felt a little unfamiliar - why is there such a woman's name in the records of the Rogersl family? Is Maryland's wife? But that doesn't seem to be the case in memory.

He pointed to the name and said to Tata on the side, "Miss Tata, we seem to have heard this name there?" ”

Tata nodded, "I'm familiar with it too, but if I've seen it in that book, I'll remember it." ”

Both were at a loss.

However, Fang Yu saw that Maryland and Chrissy had drawn a red circle on their names. And he looked at the entire list, and only three people's names were circled in red, and in addition to these two people, there was also a man named Andra.

The man was from a family called Jadgaka, and Fang Yu had never heard of the name, so he had no impression of it.

What do these three red circles mean?

Fang Yu couldn't help but be a little confused for a while.
