The trial of the Byronist spies took place in the central square of Grey Owl Town.

The overcast sky was filled with thin snowflakes.

In the middle of the cobblestone square stood an old fountain that had long since dried up, and in the fountain stood a stone statue that was staring at the sky with an indifferent expression.

The knights set up a wooden platform on the side of the fountain, facing the crowd of black people below.

The trial took place on a wooden platform, and the knights carried the rumored agents of the Worship of the Dragon Cult to the platform one by one, read out their evil deeds, and then pronounced the verdict one by one.

Fang Yu noticed at least two different types of knights, the first knights they had seen were in charge of reading, and the other type of knight with long black feathers stuck in his helmet, wielding a large sword, and was responsible for execution.

Both knights wore similar crow-headed helmets, with the only difference being in their robes and feathers.

The latter type of knights are guillotining criminals to the guillotine and proclaiming their sins—betraying the teachings of the Olin gods or taking refuge in the dark forces.

Fang Yu was originally still a little interested in the spies of the Dragon Worship Sect, but when he saw those people, he couldn't help but be disappointed in his heart.

It seemed to him that the people standing on the stage, dressed in rags and barefoot, were old, weak, sick, shivering in the cold wind, and did not look like the dark believers he had ever seen.

It's like a group of hungry people fleeing.

They struggled on the guillotine and begged for mercy, or wept bitterly, but some also cursed.

The knight was indifferent, and only raised the big sword in his hand, and the cold light of the blade lingered, and it slashed straight down.

The crimson blood arrows fell in the snow, and they were very eye-catching.

Alyssa covered Kita's eyes, and Sylvid stood in front of Ai.

There was silence in the square.

The corpse that had lost its head slid limply to the side, and the blood that spewed quickly turned into a little white light. Physical death is not the end here, and the execution is usually performed several times, making it more of a solemn ritual.

Fang Yu frowned even more, how could the dark believers flash white light when they were resurrected? This is somewhat inconsistent with his perception.

He looked around, and there were both aborigines and electors in the square, but no one objected to this.

"Those people are all spies of the Dragon Worship Sect?"

The innkeeper who brought them here nodded, "The people of the Ravental Sanctuary can't be wrong. ”

"How did they catch these people?"

"In that battle three days ago, it was these people who opened the gate and let the dragon beast in."

"The dragon beast attacked here three days ago?"

The innkeeper nodded slightly, "If it weren't for the Holy Guards, the Grey Owl Town you see right now would be in ruins. ”

Fang Yu raised his head again, thinking to himself that the so-called holy guards were those mysterious knights?

And he still hasn't figured out the origin of this Crowclaw Temple.

Then the knights brought up a little girl, who was in heavy shackles and clinking chains. She wore only shabby clothes, her head bowed, her hands wringed, and she shivered in the wind and snow.

The knight shoved the little girl to her knees on the guillotine, then took the paper out of her bosom and read it out with a loud voice.

Fang Yu looked at this little girl whose hands and feet were red from the cold, and was a little incredulous: "This is also a Dragon Worshipper?" ”

The innkeeper looked at the place and shook his head, and replied affirmatively, "The people of the Crowpaw Temple can't be wrong, she may be relatives of some of them. ”

"Relatives are also guilty?"

The innkeeper looked back at him with an incredible glint in his eyes: "You don't know? ”

"Know what?"

But now the knight had finished speaking, and the knight with the black feather stepped forward with a great sword in his hand, and he pressed the little girl's head with his hand, adjusting her to an angle.

The little girl seemed to have long lost the strength to resist, and her eyes were a little hollow, like a rag doll at the mercy of others.

The knight with the black feather straightened up, took a step back, raised his great sword above the top, and slashed down with a single sword.

Tianlan couldn't help but let out a low shout.

Fang Yu also narrowed his eyes slightly, and several ladies of the Seven Seas Brigade subconsciously looked away.

And it was at this time that a strange low whistling sound suddenly came from the northwest corner of the square.

Fang Yu subconsciously looked in that direction, and the howling sound came in an instant, only to see the knight's head on the wooden platform with the giant sword suddenly tilted, and the next moment there was an extra dangling feather arrow on his neck.

The giant sword in the opponent's hand immediately fell down, making a loud noise.

He grabbed the air in vain, staggered two steps forward as if drunk, and finally fell from the stands with a thud.

There was an immediate uproar in the square.

"They have a party!"

Seeing this, the remaining knights let out a low cry and drew their swords. They reacted quickly, and their first reaction was to turn to the prisoners with their swords, intending to return them to the temple first.

And the knight who was in charge of reading it shot at the little girl with an arrow, ready to mend the sword.

It all happened so suddenly that even Fang Yu didn't react.

He only saw that moment, several white lights suddenly flashed in the stands, and a group of black-clad and masked attackers emerged from them. As soon as they appeared, they each attacked the nearest knight.

The knight who rushed towards the little girl was only halfway through when he saw a scorching woman come out of the light gate in front of him, holding a long sword, and slash at him with a sword.

He had no choice but to retreat, but the opponent's attack was extremely fierce, and he was only left with the power to parry for a while.

Fixed-point teleportation magic - Fang Yu finally saw the situation clearly at this time.

The attackers who suddenly appeared did not know where they were, but they were clearly more than capable of the knights. Those so-called Ravental Knights were at least level seventeen or eighteen, and their opponents were at least level twenty or above.

Almost as soon as they were seen, the knights in the stands were swept off the stage, either dead or wounded. The knight in charge of the reading was stabbed in the heart by the red-haired female swordsman's sword, and fell headlong from the stands.

Gurgling blood poured from beneath the silver armor, making it look terrifying in the snow.

The female swordsman then turned around and slashed the chains on the little girl's hands and feet with a sword, lifting her up from the guillotine.

She said something to the little girl, but because the distance was too far, Fang Yu couldn't even see the shape of the other party's mouth clearly. He could only take out the recording crystal to film the scene, and then he saw that the little girl shook her head slightly.

The red-haired swordswoman picked up the little girl and glanced back at the stands, where her companion had almost cleared the knights from the stands and saved most of them.

Although there were injuries along the way, it was generally going well, she let out a low shout of something, then turned around and jumped from the stands.

By this time the square was in chaos, and almost everyone was running for fear that they would be involved in the battle. As soon as the red-haired female swordsman jumped down, how dare the crowd below stop her, so they all avoided and formed a way.

There are also some electors in the square at the moment, but most of them have an attitude of not caring about themselves, and only watch from the sidelines, beware of getting involved in the incident.

With the Crowtalon Knights powerless to stop the attackers and the Electors not intervening, the square was even more chaotic.

The innkeeper was kind, and before fleeing, he shouted to them: "It's the Dragon Witch's men, they are all cold-blooded and ruthless killers, you run!" ”

However, Fang Yu looked at those people horizontally and vertically, and they didn't look like dragon worshippers-

He only exchanged glances with Sylvid, and while he wasn't sure that the attacker who had suddenly appeared was Nicol Bolas's men, it wasn't a good time to get involved inexplicably.

Tianlan looked a little hesitant, she obviously wanted to help those people: "Brother Ed? ”

But Fang Yu shook his head, he actually thought that those people were innocent, but the current situation was still unknown, and he was not sure that his judgment must be correct.

"Let's see." That's all he replied.

As he spoke, he glanced at the crowd and led them to retreat slightly to a corner of the square.

But what made Fang Yu speechless was that he didn't know if he was really a troublemaker—the red-haired female swordsman and the little girl rushed left and right in the crowd for a while, and finally crashed headlong in their direction impartially.

However, when he looked closer, he realized that the retreat route of the attackers was planned, and they were scattered in almost every direction of the square, so no matter what direction the Seven Seas Brigade was in, it was inevitable that they would run into each other.

Fang Yu was relieved, and it didn't seem that he was particularly unlucky.

And at this moment, the red-haired female swordsman had already rushed out of the crowd with the little girl and came to them.

It's just that when the other party raised his head and saw them, a look of doubt involuntarily flashed in his eyes.

And Fang Plover here is also a little strange, and always feels that the other party is a little familiar.

He was about to speak, but the female swordsman's face had turned cold, and she raised her long sword and pointed at them: "Get out of the way—"

Fang Yu looked at the tip of the other party's sword, and he was not worried in his heart, the strength shown by the other party was the level of level twenty of an ordinary summoner. At this level, he can play ten under the state of full strength.

At this moment, there was some commotion in a corner of the square, and Fang Yu turned his gaze in that direction, and a silver clockwork fairy flew quietly and silently. In a matter of moments, he saw what was happening over there.

A Summoner had come, and it was an old acquaintance—the other party's silver robe, which seemed familiar to him all the best—the Spear of the Silver Forest.

To his surprise, though, the Spearmen of the Silver Forest seemed to be on the same side as the knights of the Ravental Temple, who surrounded several of the attackers and rushed towards them with their men.

Only then did Fang Yu pull up his goggles, retract his gaze, look at the female swordsman in front of him, and said truthfully:

"You are no match for us."

The female swordsman only clenched the long sword and didn't say a word, in fact, when Fang Yu pulled down the goggles, her heart tightened suddenly—a battle craftsman, any of Aitalia's Chosen Ones understood what it meant to be a battle craftsman.

That means that under the dragon knight, the combat power of ordinary people is surpassed.

The sword she held loosened, clenched again, hesitated a few times, but finally did not dare to make a move. If Fang Yu was alone, it would be enough, but the other party was obviously more than one person.

Fang Yu moved his gaze to the side at this time, and looked at the little girl hiding behind the female swordsman, the other party was lowering his head and not looking at him, his eyes were a little scattered.

He sighed and stepped back to make way for him.

"Let's go."

"But if you are really dragon worshippers, I can let you leave, and I can naturally capture you back."

The female swordsman was slightly stunned, glanced back, gritted her teeth, and rushed between them with the little girl.

It was only after walking a few steps that she realized that Fang Yu and the others really hadn't stopped her, turned around, and glanced at them with some surprise.

"Be of good cheer, we are not the redeemed."

The swordswoman hesitated, dropped the sentence, and quickly disappeared into the alley in that direction.

The Redeemed?

Fang Yu stood in place and looked in that direction for a long time before he heard a soft voice from the side: "Mr. Ed, I think you did the right thing."

He looked back and saw that the person who spoke was Miss May, who had joined them on the expedition.

However, what surprised Fang Yu a little was that as a knight of Oli, he originally thought that Miss Knight should have expressed her attitude earlier.

But from the time the trial was going on until now, the knight lady had only held her own sword, and she had been calm from beginning to end.

"Miss May, what do you think of those people?"

"I don't know if they're dark believers or not, and I won't act rashly until I have proof."

Fang Yu nodded, this was exactly what he thought.

The Spear of the Silver Forest soon came over, as they were seen letting the female swordsman go.

A young man came to ask them, and when the other party saw him, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Have we met somewhere?" ”

Fang Yu was slightly stunned, he didn't expect him to be so famous in the Silver Forest Spear. However, he did have a lot of dealings with the Spear of the Silver Forest, in the Elven Ruins, in the Traveler's Rest, and later with Wu Di and Liuliyue.

In Dorifin, he had contact with the Spear of the Silver Forest, and even pulled Liyue into his team, killing all sides of the artisan competition and taking first place.

In a sense, he still has some connection with the Spear of the Silver Forest.

But of course he wasn't showing his true face now, after all, the Seven Seas Brigade was still hanging on the wanted warrant of Kaulin-Ishurian, and all of them had gone through a certain amount of transfiguration when they went out.

Fang Yu was not surprised at all by the other party's questioning, and only replied as a matter of course: "There are still many people who know me. ”

This strategy of going the opposite way made the young man slightly stunned, and he didn't think about Fang Yu at all to the person on the wanted list, only thinking that the other party might be a more famous caller of this generation.

He paused for a moment and hurriedly replied, "Guys, do you see where those dark believers have fled? ”

Although Fang Yu had let the female swordsman escape before, he didn't hide it at this time, and only pointed in the direction where the other party had left.

After such a long time, the alleys are intricate, and he may not be able to find out the whereabouts of the other party when he releases a goblin, let alone these people. Therefore, he was not worried, the other party could really find out the female swordsman and the little girl.

"I'm sorry everyone."

The young man did not embarrass them, but only thanked them and chased them in that direction.

They hadn't stopped the female swordsman, but it was a matter of reason—why do something that wasn't good for the Chosen One?

……

"Can you tell us more about the Dragon Cult spies?"

Back in the hotel, Fang Yu asked straight to the point.

Hearing this question, the innkeeper put down the cup in his hand and looked up at them.

Not far away, the lobby of the inn is much more lively than before.

People sat around the table in twos and threes, still whispering about the recent riots, the dark red fires reflecting the dark outlines of everyone's faces.

"What's the most expensive wine you've got here?"

"Gredo, sir."

"Then give me a drink."

Fang Yu placed a gold coin engraved with an anchor on both sides on the counter.

The innkeeper hesitated for a moment before putting away the money, then walked to the back and pulled a bottle of Elven Gin from the wine rack.

He walked back with the bottle in his hand, was silent for a moment, and then spoke, "I don't know if you know about it, but it was those people who attracted the shadows. ”

"Shadow Man?"

Fang Yu saw that an indescribable expression briefly appeared on the innkeeper's face, the other party's face became extremely pale, and there was a shadow under the dark curls, and the eyes hidden below there flashed with fear:

"Almost no one has ever seen them, and some have described them as a floating shadow that devours people and becomes what they are."

"No one knows when they appeared, these things have appeared everywhere since the fall of Charter City. They can sneak into our world silently and wait for an opportunity. ”

"In fact, before the Ravental Sanctuary discovered a way to identify them, these monsters almost put Gula Harbor in a situation of extreme passivity."

The light blue liquor is poured into the glass, shimmering with a blurred light.

The innkeeper cocked up the bottle and continued:

"Just a few days ago, the Shadowmen infiltrated the town guards and killed the gatekeeper in their sleep, luring the drake beast over. If the Guardians hadn't discovered it in time, you would have seen nothing but ruins here. ”

Fang Yu had never heard of such a thing, a monster that sounded highly intelligent and could turn into a human?

Was there such a creature in Aitalia, or was it another Nicol Bolas minions, a twisted thing derived from the will of darkness?

"The little girl?"

"Filmmakers tend to give preference to assimilating the relatives of the assimilated."

Only then did Fang Yu understand.

But he couldn't help but fall into silence, that innocent-looking little girl - was it really the monster that devoured her soul and turned into Nicol Bolas's minions?

"I've lived in Gula for a few years, but I've never heard of anything like that." The ship's officer on the side suddenly spoke.

The innkeeper shook his head: "I've never heard of these monsters before, they seem to have appeared out of nowhere. ”

"In the last few months, several villages have been breached from within for this reason, and you can ask the refugees and they will give you almost the same answer."

"How did the knights determine this?"

"They have their own way, but this time I heard that someone witnessed it with their own eyes, and those people came into contact with the woman not long ago."

"Women?"

"Dragon Witch, as long as there is her, there will be those monsters."

Fang Yu was slightly stunned.

The filmmaker is really Nicol Bolas's follower? But isn't the Dragon Witch Ms. Misu now?
