Chapter 68: The Old Chess Game VI
"Let's take a look at this." Parker ran back out of breath and handed Kita what he was holding. It was a strangely shaped dagger, a bit like a slightly curved hook, or a snake's fangs, the edge of which was made of cold steel, cold and calm.
"Is this what you see in those people?"
When Kita saw this dagger, she had a frightened look on her face and subconsciously took a step back. Fang Yu looked at her expression and understood that the dagger she saw in the fight with those mysterious attackers that day was the same one in Parker's hand.
He stepped forward, put his hand on Kita's back, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, we're all here." ”
The little girl came to her senses and nodded with a pale face. "That's it."
"This dagger is a magic guide," Parker said, turning the dagger around, revealing the portion of the counterweight handle, which was inlaid with a green gem the size of a little fingertip. "This gem is hollow inside, it should be venom inside, if there is a corresponding resonance crystal connected to the magic furnace, through the skill command this dagger should have the ability to poison the blade - but you see, this thing is super cleverly designed, even if it is not connected to the magic furnace, it can also inject venom through the internal structure, but in that case it is disposable."
"This should be the poison of the manticore, but fortunately they didn't use this to give Kita a moment, otherwise the gods wouldn't be able to save her."
"Parker, don't scare Kita." Attila said angrily, "Don't be disrespectful to the gods, magic toxins are not a problem for druids, let alone Lady Ameya." ”
"Sorry, I didn't mean to. I just wanted to make it clear that I still know a lot about daggers, and I really didn't lie to you. You see, that's how this dagger is used. ”
As he spoke, he gestured with the dagger on his finger, but with a shake of his hand, he threw the dagger away, cut a cut in his finger, and in the blink of an eye, a drop of green poisonous blood oozed out.
"Ahh The poor Paparals screamed.
"Parker!" Everyone let out a cry of surprise. Attila's face changed even more, and she ran over and grabbed this guy's fat and short hand, wanting to cast a poison exorcism spell.
But the Paparal man burst out laughing, holding his stomach so hard that tears almost burst into his eyes, he deftly stepped back, and then took out a green bottle and shook it at everyone: "Haha, lie to you, it's just apple juice, you think I'm so stupid - ouch! ”
But before he could finish speaking, he was slapped heavily on the head by the elf girl with a blue face, almost knocking him to the ground.
Everyone looked at the living treasure speechlessly and shook their heads.
Attila took the dagger from the Paparal's hand, looked at it for a moment, and frowned. Fang Yu also looked at the cloak fragment in his hand, this dagger and an emblem appeared in Dorifen at the same time, did it mean something? Could it be that it was really the Long-worshipping followers who attacked Jita that day?
The thought that this possibility might really exist made him shudder. How could the Worship of the Dragons know about them? From Traveler's Rest to Elpahim, there are only so many people who have come into contact with it, and even fewer know about the brooch, unless it is the news that the president of the Black Goat Chamber of Commerce leaked, then the remaining possibilities-
He couldn't help but look at the others, and his gaze was just opposite Sylvid's somewhat quiet gaze, only to realize that the noble girl was also looking at the dagger—her eyes were thoughtful, and when she noticed Fang Yuan's gaze, she tilted her head towards him, pretending to be curious.
Fang Yu was faintly uneasy, to put it mildly, Sylvid was indeed the most suspicious of all people, and suddenly appeared without any foundation, saying that it was to fulfill his father's last wish, but this reason was too thin.
After a few days of getting along, she has always behaved introverted and calm, and sometimes there are some inexplicable melancholy and sighs, but in any case, it doesn't seem like she will easily make a decision for a hasty reason.
Could it be her?
There was indeed such a possibility, but Fang Yu still shook his head. He believes that the minimum trust within a team is the foundation of the foundation, and blind doubt will only make things worse. At least for now, it has not been confirmed that the bearer of the dagger and the followers of the Cult of the Cult of the T On the other hand, it's hard to say whether the Nighthawk is the owner of the dagger or not.
He couldn't help but look at Attila.
And Miss Elf was also casting a glance at him, her gaze was a little solemn, and it was obvious that the two of them had thought together. Doryphin not only existed as a dragon worshipper, but also possibly even those who attacked them at the time, both of which could be said to be hostile to them, and one of them also had a fourth-order character.
A Nighthawk –
Fang Yu still remembered how terrifying the nighthawk of the Silver Eagles was, it could be said that he had suppressed the entire team of the Lord of the Dawn Star with the power of one person, but what about their team? The strength is far inferior to Miss Scarpe—just the two captains, Miss Scarpe, level twenty-seven, Mr. Quilrod level twenty-nine, and most of the others are above level fifteen. And what about their group? The highest-ranking Mr. Big Cat is only about twenty levels, and he is not in the team at the moment.
I originally thought it was just an ordinary investigation, and I didn't even have hope that I could find out the news of the dragon worshippers, but I didn't expect to find the main owner just after entering Dorifin—not only material, but also big material.
It's just that this material is a little too fierce and a little difficult to digest.
"Does anyone have any impression of this dagger?" He then asked, Tata had seen the dagger on those people at the time, and if he could find out the news about the dagger, he might at least understand the identity of the attacker.
But everyone shook their heads, and there was a sea of magic guides of all shapes and sizes of Aitalia, and countless works were leaking from both well-known and unknown workshops in private, some of which were widely circulated, while others were not so well known.
Attila sighed and handed the dagger back to Parker, not receiving any useful news, but as expected.
However, Fang Yu asked in his heart: "Does Miss Tata have any impression of this dagger?" He had just mentioned it casually, not expecting any useful information - Miss Fairy was knowledgeable, but on the one hand, her knowledge was mostly related to magicians, nature and aether, and on the other hand, her memory should have been stuck in a few decades ago, when the Silver Tower made her, and she may not know about some new rumors.
But this time there was an unexpected gain, Miss Tata was silent for a moment and then replied: "The shape of this dagger is a little different from what I know. ”
"Something different from what you recognize?"
"It's kind of like the snake daggers used by the Nosnica lizardmen, but they don't use magicians."
Nosnica's lizardmen? Fang Yu paused for a moment before remembering where he had heard this name, wasn't that the main battlefield of the Battle of Byrne, how could it be pulled to that place.
But it's better to know something than nothing, and he was about to tell Attila the news, and it was at this time that Sylvid's maid Shesta behind everyone came with a cold snort: "Who! ”
Everyone turned around and saw a figure disappear around the corner. Fang Yu was clumsy, and he didn't see the person's appearance clearly at all, but from the figure, it seemed to be a woman.
Before he could react, Shesta had already chased after him, and the speed of the maid's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations.
"Keep up." Attila whispered.
Fang Plover reacted immediately, Doriffin had been locked down for many days, and a wave of undead had just broken out. Most of the people left in the city at this moment were either followers of the Worship of the Dragons or were related to the bearer of the dagger - in other words, the attackers of the day.
And coincidentally, both of these parties are the ones they are looking for.
Everyone followed, including the older knights, and the Paparals were the fastest, trotting with their crossbows on their backs and disappearing behind the ruins. However, after the maid left first, Ji Ta obviously couldn't keep up with the large army, and Fang Yu had to take a step behind to support her.
But he felt that someone had stayed with him, and he also stretched out his hand to support Kita—Fang Ou looked up in some astonishment when he saw the snow-white hand, and just met Sylvide's eyes.
"Believe it or not, Mr. Ed," said Sylvid in a clear, soft voice, "I may not be telling you exactly the truth, but I have no ill will towards you. ”
"Miss Sylvide?" Kita looked at her with some surprise.
"I ......" Fang Yu felt embarrassed that his mind was seen through.
"Leave it to me here, I can protect Kita, you go and catch up with the others—in a place like this, Miss Attila may not be as good as your clockwork elf."
Fang Yu paused for a moment, then nodded.
He glanced at Kita, then turned and ran forward, letting go of the elf as he ran. He lifted his hand and let the little thing fly out of his palm and disappear far above the building.
It was only after he had done this that he remembered one thing—the direction in which the woman had disappeared seemed to be the same direction that led to the inn of Lady Fujiba.
He pulled down his goggles, distracted as he went, and used his control clockwork elf to spin around the ruined streets, Doriffin was decaying, but not yet twilight—old trees sprouted from under the stone slabs, opening the streets of the city, and the vine-strewn buildings were not visible in their former glory, but there were some new occupants underneath.
For example, a chameleon hunting, some small rodents, and an even larger number of birds, as long as you don't enter the empty and deep buildings, at least during the day, there are not many undead creatures in the area.
But Fang Yu understood that once night fell, this place was a different scene.
On the first lap, he found almost nothing, neither the woman nor Attila and the others. And when he expanded his range in the second circle, Miss Elf and others appeared in his field of vision.
Fang Yu paused for a moment.
Because he saw Attila and the others were actually confronting people—only the other party didn't look like the imaginary dragon worshippers, nor did they look like the attackers they described as Tianlan, but more like a group of ordinary adventurers.
It should have been a small square in the past, but now it was no longer the same as it once was, and a statue on horseback had collapsed and landed on the dry pool below, leaving only four legs.
It was surrounded by dilapidated buildings, and Attila and the adventurers were on either side of the square, and there were four or five archers on the other side, who were very nervous and pointed at Miss Elf, and in front of them were a few warriors, and the person who said that the costume should be an iron guard—Fang Yu looked at his expression, and obviously did not expect to meet his peers here.
At this moment, Parker and Shesta also ran out from the other side, and when they saw the confrontation, the Paparal crossbowman immediately raised the heavy crossbow in his hand.
Seeing this, Fang Yu hurriedly asked the clockwork fairy to lower his height-
When both sides saw the clockwork elf, their reactions were noticeably different. As soon as Sky Blue, who was standing beside Attila, saw Fang Yuan's clockwork fairy, she couldn't help but shout with some surprise, "It's Brother Ed here." ”
The reaction on the other side was much more complicated, the Iron Guard held the long sword in his hand and was ready to make a move, but when he saw the clockwork fairy, his face couldn't help but change.
"Battle Craftsman!"
Don't talk about him, the archers took a step back in unison, and subconsciously prepared to look for cover.
There is no way, the fame of the Battle Craftsman in Aitaria is too great, especially in the First World - because the major guild drafters and aboriginal organizations in the Second World have their own dragon knights, and it is not strange for high-end combat power such as Battle Craftsmen.
But in the First World, the Combat Tinkerer is synonymous with the challenge of leapfrogging, especially since the fighting style of this class is varied, and the attacked party is unsure of what kind of blow they will face in the next moment. As long as a few annihilators appear in mid-air at this time, then their few people are not enough for the other party to bomb.
Moreover, in the perception of ordinary people, alchemists are rich masters, and everyone knows whether this transaction is cost-effective or not to exchange expensive starlight for the number of flexible structures in the hands of combat craftsmen.
Although the square plover is a special case within a special case, who knows?
Therefore, when Fang Yu arrived, he saw such a scene, the other party was already silent, waving his hand to Attila and the others. "There's something to say, guys, we don't mean anything - we're just here to venture like you."
The Iron Guard said, glancing apprehensively at the fortress-like walker following behind Fang Yuan.
How do you use this kind of thing? The man was even more in a cold sweat, thinking to himself how he could have met such a monster in this place where birds don't? He thought to himself that there didn't seem to be anything useful for the Battle Craftsmen in this place, or had the Battle Craftsmen been flooded to such an extent that there would be one of them if they pulled any team?
He couldn't help but take another look at Fang Yuan's flexible construction, if the average alchemist was already a local tyrant among adventurers, then the battle craftsman with a fortress-like walker was undoubtedly an upstart among the local tyrants.
Because this thing is a money-burning machine, it is a combat craftsman trained by the big guild, and few people dare to squander this thing, after all, if the fortress walker uses special bullets, the speed at which the thing spends money is that few professional guilds and clubs can stand it.
After all, the Grand Guild isn't just for one person—
Of course, this person also dreamed that Fang Yuan didn't think about it so much before making this thing, and the other party didn't have any blueprints for special bullets - it was also thanks to Fang Yu that he realized that it was too exaggerated to cross the street with four walkers, and hid the other three, otherwise this pomp alone would have scared him to death on the spot.
Since he had looked around inside and out of this place in the clockwork fairy before, Fang Yu didn't ask about the situation here for the first time, but just opened his mouth to ask Atila, "Miss Attila, lost it?" ”
Attila nodded.
"Where's Brother Ed's?" Sky Blue asked.
Fang Yu also shook his head, the clockwork goblin flew fast, and his search range was larger, but there was no trace of a woman in the vicinity at all.
"There's no way she's going to run faster than a clockwork elf," Azure said, "and she's definitely hiding." ”
"It's full of plants, hiding in front of the druids?" Parker scoffed. "I think it's probably the legend from before, the woman who didn't exist, doesn't it mean that there are many people who see her in the city, and it's not surprising that we can see her."
"I've never heard of her appearing in broad daylight."
"That was before, and now Doriphon has changed so much, how can you say for sure?"
"I just can." Sky Blue replied unreasonably.
Parker was so angry that he wanted to say something, but then the Iron Guard interrupted them with some curiosity: "Wait a minute, with all due respect, could it be that you are also looking for a woman?" ”
All eyes were on him.
