Chapter 303: Prisoners in the Dungeon
Soon after the girl left, the dungeon fell silent again, and in the quiet darkness there seemed to be only the low and rhythmic sound of the wind, as if a banshee was circling outside the walls, and the cycle continued.
At this time, a light was generated in the darkness, fell in front of Fang Yuan, and finally turned into the appearance of Miss Fairy. Tata sat on the straw in front of him with his hands on his knees, and looked up with his emerald green eyes like a dream, looking at him quietly, blinking slightly. Fang Yu smiled bitterly and scratched his head: "You've suffered with me again, Miss Tata." I thought I had matured a little bit, but I didn't expect to be reckless in doing things. Miss Scarpe was absolutely right. ”
In the darkness, the shaking shackles clanged.
Tata didn't speak, just looked at him and shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't agree with such a statement.
"Is there anything Miss Tata can do?" Fang Yu asked, "I'm afraid these shackles are only made of Heng stone, and this place is either the lawkeeper Tera Voltu, or the shelter of the Plague Lady Mayadimas, just afraid that it will be useless to resurrect." ”
What's more, he has little starlight left, so don't waste it in this place as much as possible.
Tata lowered her eyelids, her long and thick eyelashes twitched slightly, as if she was thinking, and she said softly: "What is material always belongs to matter, and without the carrier and crystal, the artificial dragon soul does not interact much with this world. But natural dragon souls are not so, they are part of this world in their own right, and Nini may be able to help you, Mr. Knight. ”
"Konini's exclusive construct was also in the information crystal, and it was also searched by those people."
Tata didn't answer, just looked at him quietly, her emerald green eyes were unusually bright, and she believed that her knight could imagine it.
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of something: "Miss Tata, you mean ......?" ”
Let Nini 'steal' her gear back.
He didn't really need much, just a control glove, his magic furnace and information crystal.
And Miss Tata is like a scholar, weak and weak, and it is not realistic for her to bring these things back. Konini is different, this little girl has inherited some of the characteristics of the dark dragon since she was a child, she can't cast spells, and she is infinitely powerful - of course, for her size.
It wasn't enough for her to move a construct, but it should be barely feasible to bring back the magic furnace.
It's just that he's a little worried.
Nini is like a daughter who grew up in his heart, she is only a little old, innocent, and lacks the ability to protect herself, to send the little girl to such a dangerous environment, to steal a thing, I always feel that it is beyond the scope of the little girl's ability, and it is also risky.
Tata nodded slightly.
"Nini has no problem, and as a newborn dragon soul, she will one day become Mr. Knight's helper, and Mr. Knight should treat her as an equal like me." She replied softly, a calm voice that seemed to echo through the darkness, but only the two of them could hear it. If anyone enters this dark dungeon, they will only hear Fang Yu talking to himself.
"In fact, as a natural dragon soul, Nini is only better than me. The power of the dragon soul, Mr. Knight has only developed a little. ”
Miss Tata's statement made Fang Yu feel a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry. ”
"Don't be sorry," Tata just analyzed rationally, "The world of the Dragon Knight is still too far away from Mr. Knight, which is inevitable, but as Mr. Knight grows, it is all a step-by-step thing, and it is not advisable to rush it." ”
"Okay." Fang Yu nodded.
Maybe it's hearing someone talking about themselves.
In a flash of light, Nini appeared beside her sister, hiding behind Tata's weak shoulders, curling her tail and sleepy-eyed, looking at the place with some curiosity.
She seemed to have a natural preference for a dark environment, and this dark and dry dungeon not only did not make her uneasy, but a little happy.
Then she came to Fang Yuan's side, climbed above the plover's knees, and said to Fang Yuan in a milky voice: "Papa-" She was a little proud, shook her head and showed Fang Ou her newfound ability, opened her mouth wide, and spewed out a flame—it was really a flame, fainter than the light of a match, and it flickered in the darkness.
But Nini didn't think so, and said childishly: "Papa, Nini, strong." ”
Even in the midst of the predicament, Fang Yu couldn't help but be amused.
"Yes, Nini, strong."
But our Miss Fang Nini was so happy.
Fang Yuan looked at Tata, who was quiet on the side, and Miss Fairy only nodded to him.
Only then did he turn around and say to Nini, "Nini." ”
The little girl raised her head and looked at him curiously with bright golden eyes.
"Now I need your help with something, can Nini do it?"
Nini's eyes lit up.
Just like a little girl who got candy, she looked a little excited and nodded vigorously.
"Nini, can you help Papa."
This is the second time in Fang Yu's history that he has heard Fang Nini say a sentence completely, and the last time it was also related to himself, or when he was in the Spider Forest, which moved him badly, and he liked and pitied his little princess in his heart. Seriously, if it weren't for the current environment, he really didn't want this little girl to take risks.
Fang Yu only described the appearance of his control gloves and information crystal to the latter, and the little girl seemed to understand it. But Fang Yu was not in a hurry, because Miss Tata would accompany her, and if it weren't for that, he wouldn't be at ease.
Although he didn't know where his things were, Miss Tata could be trusted, and he believed that she would have a way, and if Tata couldn't do anything about it, it would probably not be able to get it back.
Miss Tata is always on track and keeps everything organized.
Fang Yu found that unconsciously, he had become accustomed to trusting Miss Dragon Soul unconditionally.
Nini silently stepped out from between the dungeon railings, which, with her small size, stood like stone pillars towering over the empty hall, unhindering her. She walked outside, and took a curious look at her surroundings, and not far away in the darkness was a long-eared gray squirrel, staring at this side with black eyes, wary of the 'strange' creature that suddenly appeared.
Nini gestured at it with her teeth and claws, and made a 'whoosh' sound, which frightened the poor little creature so much that she kicked her legs and ran away with a smoke.
Fang Yu looked at this scene and couldn't help but glance at Tata. Miss Tata nodded to him slightly, and then, like a ghost, floated out after Nini, Fang Yu watched the backs of the two disappear into the darkness, and could only hope for Miss Tata.
After the two left, Fang Yuan was not idle, he groped in the darkness for a while, the shackles on his hands clanged - the mystics didn't seem to examine his contents too closely, only disarmed, taking the information crystal and his coat with him, but he still found some objects in his shirt pocket.
For example, a silver coin from a few rissels, a pencil, a pocket watch, a few crystals, and a bunch of keys. But none of these things had any effect at the moment, the key belonged to his captain's room, coins and crystals were useless, and he tried to use his pencil to open the lock of the shackles in his hand, but the pen broke the lock and did not move at all.
He failed to make another plan, and then he took the pocket watch apart, and took out the spring plate and the long and short needles from it, but after fiddling with it for a while, it was still in vain. His lock-picking skills are too low, and there may be some way to change to a high-level nightingale, but unfortunately the other party obviously knows very well that if he is really a nightingale, it is impossible to leave these things on his body.
Fang Yu sighed, and after realizing that he was just wasting his efforts, he put down what he was holding and sat quietly for a moment, listening to the muffled sound of the wind outside. He was a little thirsty, so he took a sip of the water glass, which was actually a little sweet, and ate some bread indiscriminately, which was hard and astringent, enough to make people wonder if the mystics were ascetics.
However, the things sent by Afifa at least restored his strength, and after his thinking became clear, his heart was no longer a mess.
He thought of something again, searched his body inside and out, and found a dark crystal from the pocket of his trouser pocket. Seeing this crystal, Fang Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed - this was a spare communication crystal, due to the experience of the last time the communication crystal was damaged, he had to eat a trench and grow wise, and specially prepared such a communication crystal.
I didn't expect the mystics to take it with them, and this thing came in handy.
He immediately opened the communication channel, but the friend column was almost completely dark, which made Fang Yu slightly stunned. But suddenly he heard the sound of the wind outside, and he realized what was happening, three days ago, when the dust storm was about to rise, the communication was seriously disrupted, let alone now?
Bein was north of Tansniel, closer to the center of the storm that Sylvede spoke of.
But Fang Yu was not discouraged, and opened the community again, but the community was blank and always displayed in the loading state. At this time, the plover's heart sank, he didn't expect this dust storm to have such a big impact on communication, and it was no wonder that the mysticists' search for him stopped at the surface, and it turned out that he had no fear.
The only means of communication at the moment is probably the magic messenger-
The magic messenger walks through the ether realm, and it should not be too affected by the material realm.
But the mystics were not stupid, and of course they would not leave him this loophole, and they had already searched for the messenger talisman on his body.
The hope that had just risen was shattered again, and Fang Yu was a little helpless for a while.
He looked at the ever-loaded neighborhood, listening to the howling outside the walls, and the dungeon was pitch black—like a haven of quiet, caught in the middle of the wind's howl, giving the impression that the outside was turning upside down, and the place was still as quiet as ever.
Whenever and wherever they are, the Electors are always connected to each other through community and through high-dimensional communications, so in desperate and isolated situations, the Electors will always be much calmer than the Aborigines, and will at least post a video before they die, which is about the case.
At this moment, Fang Yu felt a huge sense of loneliness in his heart, and he realized how much comfort the community and communication software have given people in this era.
The anxiety caused by the silence is spreading, and in the darkness I don't know how much time has passed, Miss Tata and Nini have never returned, and the connection between the spiritual world is also blank, and I don't know if it is too far away, or if it is also affected by this once-in-a-decade sandstorm.
Fang Yu was gradually becoming a little uneasy, but suddenly, he heard a special sound—a soft 'bang' from the depths of the darkness of the dungeon.
The sudden sound startled him.
On a normal day, this strategy was not enough to make Fang Yu feel any uneasy, but at the moment, he didn't have any tools and weapons at hand—the control gloves were not around, he had lost the ability to control and flexibly build, and the combat craftsmen were no different from ordinary people—and secondly, after completely losing contact with the outside world, the huge sense of loneliness also deepened the uneasy premonition in such an environment.
Therefore, he almost straightened his body to look in that direction, and almost subconsciously took a step back, but it was the heaviness of his feet that made him realize that his range of motion did not seem to be large.
Fang Yu looked over there a little nervously, but through a few prisons, he couldn't see anything in the darkness behind it. It was only a moment before he heard a low 'ho-ho' sound coming from that direction, and it was so clear and creepy in the wind of the call sign.
It's like a beast roaring in a low voice, and it's like a man dying with asthma.
What disturbed him even more was that he had not noticed anything there, and Miss Tata seemed to have ignored this.
Fang Yu finally couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart, and asked in a low voice in that direction: "Who is where?" ”
He felt that if there was really a monster hiding in the shadows, he would at least have to die to understand it, but subconsciously, another voice in Fang Yuan's heart told him that this was nonsense, how could there be a terrifying monster hidden in the fortress of the mystics?
But the voice rang out loud, and no one answered his words.
The voice lasted for about a few minutes before it grew quiet, and silence returned to the darkness.
Fang Yu was feeling that things were becoming a little weird and uneasy, and at this moment, a gentle voice suddenly came from his heart: "Mr. Knight." ”
It was Miss Tata's voice, just like a light that shot into the darkness, like a gentle, soothing hand, which made the dark room brighten up all of a sudden, and made Fang Yu's heart feel calm, even almost excited, and he hurriedly asked in an urgent tone:
"Miss Tata, are you back?"
He even forgot to ask if the other party had achieved his goal, as if it would be enough to make him feel at ease if he could come back.
After a few moments, he saw two rays of light light in the darkness, one into a small fairy lady, and the other into Nini, who was holding something in her hand, which was his magic furnace, which was almost twice the size of the little girl, making the latter look a little funny and cute holding the magic furnace.
Miss Tata with the glove of control given to him by Lady Hades. Nini took the magic furnace to his side as if to give him a credit, and forcefully erected it up, and poured it downward.
With a bang, a crystal fell from inside, which was his information crystal.
Seeing these things, Fang Yu looked at Tata with some gratitude in his heart: "Thank you, Miss Tata. ”
"Nini is more helpful." Miss Tata replied only calmly.
"Nini is more helpful!" Nini was upset, her cheeks puffed out, her eyes blinking, tears already rolling in her eyes.
Fang Yu touched the little girl's head, and was very relieved in her heart, and she had a feeling that her daughter had grown up: "Nini, it's amazing." ”
So the little girl immediately burst into tears and laughed.
Fang Yu picked them up and put them on his shoulders one left and one right, during which Tata said: "The pride of the Lone King is actually in that place, but it is too heavy, and the weight of the magic furnace itself is not low, for the sake of efficiency, I asked Nini to take this glove." As for the rest, Miss Kitta told us that it should be in a room on the upper floor of the castle. ”
"Did you find Kita?"
Tata nodded slightly:
"Miss Kita said she would come to you as soon as possible, Mr. Knight." Tata replied quietly, "But I let her stay there, because it would be more secure for her and for Mr. Knight." ”
Fang Yu thought that Miss Naturalist was a little nervous, and couldn't help but nodded, there is no doubt that Miss Tata's choice is correct, and the other party is a little concerned and confused.
The mystics didn't put her under house arrest to give her a more relaxed environment, presumably the surveillance there was tighter than here.
However, no matter how closely monitored she is, it seems that she can't prevent her Dragon Soul Miss.
Fang Yuan then realized how Miss Tata had found her own things, this was really a wonderful way, it was much easier to find a living person than to find a thing, after all, the guards of the castle would always talk about the new 'occupants', or follow the servants in the castle, and they would always find some clues.
But no one will discuss what loot the mystics have recently confiscated, or where they are. After all, mystical sorcerers are not robbers, and only robbers show off their loot for no reason.
Fang Yu couldn't help but sigh again, Miss Fairy was as reliable as ever.
However, he didn't care about not bringing back the pride of the lonely king, as long as he left this place first, he could always find a way.
He put on his gloves and put the information crystal back on his chest, and with the help of his 'daughter' and Miss Dragon Soul, he equipped the magic furnace. But just as he was about to start, a hoarse voice came from the darkness:
"I'd advise you not to do that, if you don't want the mystics to swarm in a few minutes."
The voice was incomparably vicissitudes, as if it came from an old man who had experienced everything in the world, looking in this direction with a perceptive gaze, and saying this sentence to them.
When Fang Yu heard this voice, he couldn't help but be surprised:
"Who?"
The hoarse voice coughed heavily, and then replied, "Be careful, young man, a hint of magic will attract those hyenas as well." ”
"Hyenas?"
"Hey." The voice smiled lowly, and then said no more.
The movements in Fang Yuan's hand involuntarily stopped, although he didn't know if the other party was true or not, but this person should have been locked up in this place like himself, and he would probably not be in the same league as the mystics of the 'Revealed Eye'.
At this time, he also realized that the strange and terrifying voice just now may have come from this person-this person made him wonder for a while, who is this person? Why is he being held in this place? And why did you suddenly make such a noise just now? Is there something seriously ill?
He lowered his hand from the magic furnace, looked in that direction and asked, "Can you tell me why?" Maybe I can find a way to get you out of this place. ”
There was silence in the darkness.
After a long time, it wasn't until Fang Yu was about to lose patience that a faint voice came from there: "Actually, isn't it good to be locked up in this place, young man, listen to the sound outside, the dust storm on the sand sea will destroy everything, and even bury civilization." And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the power of this world, everything will eventually be destroyed, and if you stay here, you may be able to see the last side of this world......"
"It's safe here."
Fang Yu listened to these nonsense, and couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with the other party's brain.
However, this also made him curious about how long the other party had been locked up here: "Then how long have you been here?" ”
"I don't know."
"For the first three years, I counted the time every day and carved each day into the wall. But over the next three years, I gradually lost patience, and after that I gradually lost track of time and didn't know how long it had been. ”
Fang Yu was slightly stunned, according to the other party, he had been imprisoned here for at least six years. He couldn't help but wonder about the identity of the other party, why did the mystics keep such a person in this place all this time?
And the man paused at this time, and suddenly said, "Maybe you can tell me about the changes outside, I may know how long it has been." ”
"For example, the Battle of Byrne should be over, right?"
When Fang Yu heard this, he couldn't help but stand still for a while.
What does this mean is that the other party was imprisoned during the Battle of Byrne?
Wasn't that more than a decade ago?
As soon as this thought came to him, it sent a storm through his mind, although it was not without long prison sentences for Kaulin-Ishurian—in fact the kingdom's penal code was heavy, with some of the typical characteristics of old times, and even hanged at every turn. But only a few people would be held in black cells for more than a decade, and in this era, most people would die of disease and infection in a short period of time.
And the person in front of him couldn't help but remind Fang Yu of Eve.
