"Have you read a recent post?" Luo Hao put a roll of cable on the side of the boat and turned around and asked. Snowflakes had accumulated a thin layer on the ship's side, and in the distance there were foggy villages and forests, with little white smoke, and the bells of the church could be heard in the distance at noon.

"Which one?" Fang Yu stopped what he was doing and asked.

"On the Gula Regional Forum, someone is missing again. In addition, there are dragon beasts attacking the village, right in this area. ”

"Didn't Nicol Bolas take the drake?"

Luo Hao shook his head: "Who knows, few people can explain the situation north of Tarun at the moment. ”

Fang Yu asked again: "But I heard that there are electors among the missing people this time?" ”

"There are three, and all three of them have Starlight left. At present, it is still being verified in Xingmen Harbor, but it has spread among the electors, and it has caused panic to varying degrees...... The community can't ban it, and I don't know when it will be opened. ”

Fang Yuan's eyes widened slightly, the three of them all had the remaining starlight but had not been resurrected, this could be said to have encountered a dead silence zone, but if there was no one on the side of Xingmen Harbor, wouldn't it mean that the Chosen One could really die in Aitalia?

This news is absolutely subversive, not to mention ordinary people, it is a little difficult to accept in his heart for a while.

“…… Are you saying that it is possible for the Chosen to ...... Stay in Aitalia? ”

"What stays in Aitalia, is to die in this place," Luo Hao was extremely calm: "Didn't I say it earlier?" Such things abound, and the Xingmen Harbor has been covering the lid on it, and the ...... seven years ago

"Alright, alright." Fang Yu hurriedly interrupted him. He had heard the bizarre story of the Elector's death on the floor and the stargate port covered with it, and he had seen such rumors in the community, but it was obviously full of loopholes.

But he looked at the fat man with a little curiosity, "You're not afraid?" ”

"What are you afraid of," Luo Hao looked indifferent, "Why do you think I didn't want to come here originally, but now that I'm here, I'm still going through the military's passage." Otherwise, what to do, as a deserter? Staying is not necessarily dead, that is a 1 in 10 million chance, but going back is really a social death. ”

“…… You can really see it. ”

Fang Yu looked into the distance, the forest and the village were covered with snow, and there were some traces of people around him—probably the team of the Chosen One. He didn't quite believe that that something like that would happen, and that the disappearance was probably due to some other factor, because he wasn't 'missing' himself.

Or let the message fly a little longer.

He heard footsteps behind him, turned around, and saw Luo Yu coming over.

"Uncle and aunt, have they finished reading?"

Luo Yu nodded.

Although his mother promised to give them a year, this does not mean that the other party is completely relieved and let it go. Luo Yu's parents will stay here for about a week, and the inspection of the Seven Seas Brigade during this time is also expected.

The biggest asset of the adventure group is the Seven Seas Traveler, so it is only natural that the two of them want to visit the ship. Fang Yu actually intended to do the same - if this could give Luo Yu's parents some confidence, although there were many secrets on the Seven Seas Traveler, those things were not visible on the surface.

"You designed the magic network on the ship?"

Luo Yu's father walked silently around the deck, returned to them, and asked.

"Not exactly, uncle," replied Fang Yuan, "there are three master craftsmen who have also helped us a lot, and we have only provided design ideas. ”

"At least yours in terms of the design idea?"

"Yes."

"Nice boat." Luo Yu's father nodded.

At this time, the lady also walked over and said lightly: "It's not satisfactory, but this ship can't go to the second world." ”

She paused for a moment and added, "I admire people who keep their word, and I hope you will do what you say." ”

Fang Yu hurriedly nodded: "We'll send you, Auntie." ”

"No need, do more useful things."

With these words, the lady crossed the gangway and stepped off the boat.

When his wife got off the boat, Luo Yu's father patted his son on the shoulder, gave them a silent look, nodded slightly, and then followed off the boat.

"Auntie is really resolute."

Fang Yu watched the two of them walk farther and farther away in the snow.

Luo Yu turned around and looked at everyone with a little apology, "I'm sorry, I ......"

"There's nothing to apologize for," Fang Yu smiled freely, "They are already elders, and they should be stricter." But my uncle seems to appreciate our boat, which is good news. ”

"Actually, my dad is also an alchemist," Luo Yu suddenly replied, "Once." ”

Fang Yu looked in that direction a little abruptly, and suddenly understood where Luo Yu's interest in alchemy came from.

……

There were only eleven or twelve people in the small room.

The dim light penetrated through the cracks of the unnailed windows, forming bundles of narrow light paths, in which dust rose and fell like countless tiny creatures migrating. Occasionally, a hexagonal ice crystal or two floated in through the window, but it melted at the window and sparkled through the cracks.

"At this point, we can't go back." The person who spoke in the dark was a woman's voice, "So I won't say much nonsense, each of us is here for a purpose, I am here to save people, and I think you are the same." ”

"I'm here to save people, my daughter, Sharna."

"Me too."

"Me ...... too"

But among the more than a dozen people, there were still a few people who did not speak. It was only in the end that they replied, "We're just here to help." ”

The woman looked at those people and nodded: "Thank you, whether it is for yourself, for the people around you, or for the sense of justice in your heart, thank you." ”

She looked out the window, "The ceremony will start in the afternoon, around three o'clock, in the square outside. They'll definitely check the neighborhood first, but I told the innkeeper that there was a way to get past their inspection. ”

The woman drew her sword, "When the ritual begins, those who have the ability to fight will go up and kill people, and the rest will be responsible for saving people." The guards are not of a high level, and most of us can handle them, but be careful of the Electors around us, it will take time for them to arrive, and we will have about five minutes to finish the operation before then. ”

Although some people were too scared to make a sound, everyone nodded silently.

The woman held out her hand to everyone and replied, "We didn't know each other before, because we came together because of a common purpose, so we don't need to know each other's true identities, just use code names to match them, my name is Sand Night." ”

"My name is Marbur."

"My name is Bo, Boli."

"My name is ......"

Everyone stretched out their hands and touched each other.

In the dark room, there was a silent tacit understanding at the moment.

……

The blizzard has stopped.

Fang Yu and Luo Hao walked out of the woodland, raised their heads and looked ahead, the Egunn Forest that spread here from the north came here, and in the snow-white world, a low stone wall in the distance stretched at the end of the field of vision—above the clearing outside the woodland in front of them.

Behind the two of them, there were Skyblue, Luo Yu, Kita, Box, Parker, and then Sylvade and her maid, who carried a huge bag but walked smoothly in the knee-deep snow.

At the end of the crane is Ai Xiaoxiao, who is fluttering in three steps, her little face is covered with snow foam, like Santa Claus's beard. Kita looked back, and Sky Blue wanted to go back to help her little friend, but was caught by the box.

Of course, this was not what he meant, but Fang Yu's order to him.

"Stooge," Tianlan returned to grab her collar, but how could the box let her get her wish - neither of them was at the same level of combat power, so she had to give full play to her verbal advantage: "Brother Ed's lackey, robot!" ”

But the box ignored her, and even faintly proud, thinking that the name robot was quite cool.

The storm had only stopped for two short days in three days, but the cold snap was still lingering around Gulla, and the Seven Seas Traveler could not take off at all, and Galeit couldn't buy anything they needed.

Fortunately, there is also a nearby town called 'Grey Owl Town', which is not too far from 'Galeit'. In order to save time, Fang Plover split the Seven Seas Brigade in two, one of them remained at Galeit to guard the Seven Seas Traveler, and the other part formed an expedition to Grey Owl Town to purchase supplies.

They walked on the road for two days, and during that time they encountered about three or four attacks, including dragon beasts, dragon minions, and some undead creatures roaming the wild.

In fact, there were no undead creatures in the vicinity of Gura Harbor, but the war clearly brought the shadow of death.

Also on the road with them were Luo Yu's parents, because this was probably a type of investigation.

It's just that Fang Yu's original fear of separating his heart to take care of the two of them didn't happen at all, and although Luo Yu's parents are only tourists now, they are no strangers to adventures at all. Not only did the two not cause any trouble, but they also helped them a lot.

Along the way, the two of them just watched from the sidelines, and did not meddle in any of their team's affairs. And Fang Yu originally wanted to perform well, but along the way, it seemed that their performance was not as good as these two veterans, which made him a little weak-hearted, and he didn't know whether the other party was satisfied or dissatisfied with the performance of the Seven Seas Brigade.

But fortunately, even Luo Yu's mother, who was the most strict, at least didn't say much.

Ai Xiaoxiao didn't know how many times she fell in the snow.

She got up from the ground dizzily, only to see a hand stretched out from the front, and she didn't care to catch her breath first, so she hurriedly grabbed the hand like a life-saving straw, and was pulled out of the snow pit by the other party.

The little girl gasped heavily, looked up, and realized that the person who pulled her was the lady. Ai Xiaoxiao was taken aback, in her heart this lady has always been very serious and unsmiling, and she also understands the significance of their trip.

However, the other party didn't say anything, only pulled her up and continued to walk forward.

The low stone wall outside Grey Owl Town has a long history – it was built seven centuries ago during the days of the Dwarven Kings – when the locals were still enemies of the forest Grey Owls, hence the name.

However, time has passed, and now the gray owl people in the forest outside the town are long gone, and the fortress system established here by the knights of Elpahim has been preserved, and they have not been properly preserved, and only the fragment of the town is left as the outer wall of the town.

When they entered the town, they saw the huge rock arch above the stone wall.

Luo Hao raised his head and looked at the part of the stone wall connected to it, they were all made of huge pebbles from the forest mountain stream, it is said that more than 100,000 pebbles were used to build this fortress, but now it would be good to have a third left.

But Luo Hao didn't care about this, his eyes only fell on the crumbling low walls—they were low walls, but compared to the fortified cities of Gula Harbor, Al Pahin, and Charter City, it was actually five or six meters high, and you needed to look up to see the whole picture.

But on the low walls, huge pebbles were scattered all over the ground, and they rolled down from the broken walls, forming a gap. It seemed as if some giant beast had crashed into it, knocking the entire wall down, and the pebbles rolled down to form a rocky slope.

And such situations abound on this wall from a distance.

"Ed, look over there." Sylvid apparently noticed this as well, pointing in that direction and whispering to the others.

Fang Owl looked in that direction, and was a little surprised in his heart, the gaps in the stone wall were almost all brand new, could it be that before they arrived, Grey Owl Town had been attacked once?

And judging from the size of those gaps, the attacking side is not far apart, even if it is not a dragon beast. However, they were trekking along the way, and it was no fun to travel through a blizzard, and they didn't have much time to see the community, so they didn't know exactly what had happened in the past few days.

He turned around, gave his ship's officer and Luo Hao a look, and motioned for them to go into town first. Find a hotel, take a break, fill your stomach, and see what has happened during this time.

However, when they entered the town, the atmosphere became noticeably more serious and solemn, and in this season when it was not suitable for hiking, there were not many people in the streets of the town, only a few knights, dressed in black and white robes, pointing at them.

Fang Yu didn't recognize the identities of those knights for a while, he had the impression that the knights of the more common Orin Lord God were not like this, and asked Ji Ta and Miss Fairy, both of them also said that they didn't know.

Silvid was equally confused and shook her head at him.

"Let's go farther," Luo Hao looked in that direction and said, "It seems that they don't welcome us too much." ”

If Grey Owl had only been attacked by a drake, it would have been forgiven for the locals to be on alert, but they didn't look like Nicol Bolas's minions anyway, did they? These people are also too suspicious.

However, Fang Yu didn't plan to cause trouble, so he took everyone to change the way, and found another passer-by to ask for directions, and found an inn called 'Pipe and Tea'. Before entering the hotel, Fang Yu also looked at the signboard, thinking that if it was a big cat man in this place, he would definitely like this hotel.

Entering the hotel, the group found that it was also empty, there was not even a light in the hall, the sky was gloomy outside, and the hotel was even darker. Fortunately, there was at least one man behind the counter, packing his things.

Fang Yu was full of doubts and was about to step forward to inquire, but at this time, a loud noise suddenly sounded on the street outside.

Everyone stopped and looked back, only to find that there were many people coming from the interface that was empty before. The crowd should have emerged from one end of the street, gathering in a crowd and heading in the other direction.

The crowd was not moving very fast, and as they walked slowly outside the hotel gates, most of them looked up at the front as if there was something in that direction. On either side of the crowd were more than a dozen black and white knights of the same color they had seen before, dressed in silver armor and wearing sharp swords at their waists, and they also walked past the inn gate.

The crowd didn't seem to talk to each other, nor did they raise their voices, and there wasn't much to hear from the streets except for footsteps. Fang Yu was also surprised when he saw this scene, and wondered if there were any customs in the Gula area that he didn't know, and what kind of parade or celebration was this?

But looking at the crowd, everyone looked solemn, and it didn't look like a celebratory atmosphere, but like some kind of religious ceremony.

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, watching the last few people walk past the street, and then a team of knights who finished up walked up with rattling steps. He watched the knights walk away, and then turned around, intending to inquire about what was going on outside the innkeeper that they didn't know about.

But when I turned around, I noticed that the man behind the counter had also walked out, as if he was about to go out.

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stopped the other party and said, "Wait, we want to book a room." ”

"We'll talk about that later, guys." The man was not impatient, but looked out, and replied to them at the same time.

"What the hell is going on out there?"

"Catch the spies of the Cult of the Dragons, and put them on trial," replied the man, "everyone must be there, and the Raven Knight will come and check on you later, and you may be strangers, but you are the same." Why don't you come with me? ”

Fang Yu was stunned:

"Raven Knight?"

He couldn't help but look out of the street, the crowd had long since disappeared to the other side of the street, and the same were the black and white knights. As the crowd passed, the street seemed to be quiet again.

He pointed outside and asked the innkeeper, "Did you mean those knights just now?" ”

"Not really, folks," replied the man, patiently, "those are the Guardians of the Raventals, and the Raven Knights are the guardians of the Temple, and their status is much higher than theirs. ”

"Ravental Guard, guardian of the Temple?"

Fang Yu was confused, did Aitalia have such a temple, or did they cross into some other world in the midst of a blizzard?
