"Mr. Ed."

When Fang Yu was still thinking about these messy things, a soft voice came, which made him pause for a moment, and raised his head in some surprise.

The owner of the voice was a somewhat fragile girl, whose pale skin was like a piece of paper that had been wiped many times, so that it was somewhat transparent. But she was in good spirits, with a grateful smile on her face, holding Hu Di's hand, and the two slowly walked up to him.

The girl was still dressed in the illusionary outfit, but with a brooch pinned to her chest, and the pure white unicorn was particularly dazzling in the sunlight.

"Ed......" Hu Di stood in front of him with an embarrassed expression, as uneasy as a child.

The age of the two seems to have been reversed at this moment.

The latter was ragged and dusty, like a ridiculous beggar. Before he could speak, his eyes turned red, and his voice was choked, so that the second half of his sentence was almost out of shape.

Because Hu Di simply doesn't know how to describe it—

In the end, it all turned into a dream, and it was the best ending he had never even imagined, and when he thought about it, it seemed that everything had changed since the young man in front of him said something to him.

Because after that, all reality turned into a miracle.

And he, like the prisoner who was released at the last moment of the death penalty, could only burst into tears in front of the messenger who brought the gospel.

Fang Yu looked at the two of them for a moment, and then a smile of equal satisfaction quietly bloomed on his face, and he smiled extremely happily - that smile seemed to come from the heart, sincere as a child.

It felt as if a warm current had been injected into his heart, so it was indescribably beautiful, because at that moment, Fang Yu suddenly understood the meaning of doing all these things.

There is danger in that illusion.

And the road in front of us is so long that it seems to have no end.

It's just that in the dark and gloomy storm, people's struggles and efforts are not in vain, so everything is valuable.

Fang Yu raised his head and blinked his eyes vigorously, so that others did not see the corners of his red eyes.

He remembered what had happened in the Elven Ruins, where he had tried his best to undo the end of Dawnstar.

But today, he finally has the power to change all that.

Miss Scarpe's words are still in my ears.

"Still talking big, little one."

"But that's not a big deal, Miss Scarpet," Fang Ou was determined in his heart, for one day he would fulfill his promise in all of it.

Only then did he turn his head and smile and say to Hu Di: "Why are you crying, Hu Di, hugging the beauty is gone, isn't it?" Speaking of which, I haven't congratulated you guys on winning money from the Artisan Challenge to treat you to treats? ”

Hu Di was stunned for a moment, looked at Heath with a flushed face, and didn't know what to say: "But I...... All that money was spent ......"

Heath chuckled as she covered her lips.

Fang Yu looked at the latter: "How is it, is the new body still used to it?" ”

The girl nodded slightly, and she stroked the brooch on her chest, "Everything is fine, thank you, Mr. Ed." Just, all this ...... It was all too much to expect......"

Fang Plover bowed his head.

The older knight looked at the two of them and nodded in the same way.

"This is the hope that Miss Misu has left you, cherish it, Heath," said Fang Ou, looking at the brooch, "one day, you will understand how precious this is, for you have left the greatest kindness to Dorifin, and therefore the city has left you the most hope." ”

"But what the hell is ......this," Heath still looked a little confused.

Fang Yu only said three words to the two of them as an answer to that question.

Dragon Knight –

A breeze blows through the square.

There was a moment of silence in the ruins, except for the rustling of a story that seemed to tell an old story from the distant past. The girl carefully took off the brooch and held it tightly in the palm of her hand.

Those are two righteous hearts, recognizing each other.

And after a while, Hu Di gradually adjusted his mood.

Fang Yu made some jokes about the Craftsman Challenge that day to make the other person look less nervous, but Sky Blue must be looking for trouble with Hu Di, and this is not a joke - that little girl is the kind of person who can't rub sand in her eyes.

Hu Dizheng was startled.

At this time, Momiji suddenly walked over with a serious face, and whispered to the two, "Ed, there are people from the Dragon Fire Guild and dragon worshippers outside. ”

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the matter here was indeed far from over. Since Hansen and the people of the Oak Knights can survive the illusion, there will only be more people from the Dragon Fire Guild and the Dragon Worship Sect who are already dominant, not to mention that there may still be people left outside the illusion themselves.

These people failed in the illusion, but in reality they suffered almost no loss of strength, and in the absence of Tapolis's backup, there is no restriction in the illusion, and the current situation is only more severe than in the illusion.

Fang Yu also frowned: "Where are they?" ”

"Those people sneakily moved around the perimeter of the square, and when our people spotted them, they fled far away." Momiji replied.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Yu immediately said: "They are waiting for support, the other party's people mainly stay in the direction of Horstins Cathedral and Hagerston Cemetery in the illusion, according to what happened to us, the other party's departure from the illusion should also be the last position in the illusion." Uptown is northeast of here, and we must evacuate the ruins from the southwest at once, right in the direction of Fisherman's Alley, where Red and Lofget can pick you up, and Mr. Dickett and Parker know where to go, and let them take you there. ”

"Them?" Momiji looked at him suspiciously, and heard what he meant: "What about you?" ”

Fang Yu looked outside the square and frowned: "I haven't seen Sylvid and her maid since I left the illusion world, I'm worried that something will happen to the two of them, I have to take a look around here before leaving here." ”

"No," Momiji stared at him and frowned, a look of disapproval: "It's too dangerous for you to stay alone, they may have left themselves." ”

"Impossible," Fang Yu shook his head, "I know Miss Sylvede, she is by no means so hasty. ”

"I've heard Kita talk about that woman," Momiji told him, "she has ulterior motives for you, Ed, and I'm warning you as a friend." She may not have any ill intentions, but you don't have to be too sincere. ”

"I know there may be some jokes in this, but since Miss Sylvide calls me captain, I have to take this responsibility," Fang Yu has always been very clear in his heart, but he has always been very clear about the way he judges value: "Miss Sylvide has her own judgment, but I also have my own judgment. ”

"Also, Miss Atira and Kita, I told Sky Blue to hide in the Hageston Cemetery area, and they don't necessarily know what happened to the illusion now, so I naturally have to take them away."

Fang Yuan's words were reasonable, and Momiji couldn't help but fall silent when he heard it.

However, she looked at the other party with a slightly strange look.

Fang Yuan's words touched her a lot, and she knew that in the early days of the Star Gate Age, those older generation of recruiters could also see such a sense of responsibility.

Today, however, such a caller is becoming less and less common.

And it is precisely because of the rarity that people can't help but agree from the bottom of their hearts.

Momiji was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said to him, "Then you be careful." ”

"Don't worry, I still have this," Fang Yu took out a brass-shelled sphere and shook it in front of her, and said with a smile: "In terms of the operation of the clockwork fairy, Miss Momiji, you can't compare to me." ”

These words suddenly shook the little emotion she had just had just made, and she gritted her teeth and said to the other party: "I'm reminding you to be careful not to pit Kita into it, stinky boy!" ”

Fang Yu laughed, and then turned around and ordered Hu Di and Dickett and the others.

The Paparral people also nagged that they wanted to go with Fang Yu to save people, which made Fang Yu a little surprised, why did this guy suddenly change his temper.

As a result, the truth was exposed by Momiji's words, and this guy really has always been a thief to the 'treasure' under Horstins.

Fang Yu naturally wouldn't bring this trouble-causing spirit, so he asserted his refusal.

After everyone gathered, it was Hu Di's turn to say goodbye to Fang Yu and Heath, and then Red Leaf came up again, looked at him seriously, and suddenly said:

"You should really come to us, Ed, and you must consider my suggestion. Because there's no better place for you than Tapolis – at least in Aitalia, where you can identify with ideas. ”

If others said this to him, Fang Yu would definitely scoff.

The experience of the elven ruins made him have no good feelings for the so-called Grand Guild. But Momiji is different, although he didn't say it, but after the two adventurous experiences, he actually already regarded the other party as a comrade-in-arms who could share life and death.

And Fang Yu knew that with the character of Momiji, he would never say this to himself for no reason.

It's just that he has his own way, and he will never be easily shaken by the words of others.

Fang Yu smiled slightly, and only nodded to the latter: "I will seriously consider these, Miss Momiji, Tapolis is a good place, but there may not be only one relationship between friends." ”

Momiji looked at him with some dismay, she knew it was actually a tactful refusal.

She really wanted the other party to join the Knights.

Because she was sure that this young man's achievements in the future would be much higher than her own, and she even had a faint feeling that the other party would bring different changes to the Knights, and that might be an opportunity for Tapolis to enter the second world.

If Fang Yu is willing to come, she is even willing to give up her position and resources, and let the other party replace her as the core of the future Tapolis.

But alas, the other party is not destined to be the one who belongs to such a small place as Tapolis.

Momiji sighed, but she wasn't too disappointed.

At least Fang Yu is right, there may not be only one relationship between friends. She knew that with this guy's temperament, being able to say such things to her at least meant that he had a good impression of the Knights.

At least the Spear of the Silver Forest doesn't have such treatment.

Thinking like this, she was in a slightly better mood, and after the other party nodded, she led everyone out of Grey Oak Square.

But they had not gone far before the alchemist lady of the Oak Knights of Tapolis looked back in this direction, only to see the Owl waving at them.

Momiji is still faintly lost in his heart, and he always feels that he has missed something.

But in fact, if it weren't for the fact that there were still the knights of Tapolis here who asked her to lead her away, if the Captain of Memory was still in this place, she would have said that she would have stayed with the other party to complete this mission.

It's a pity that there is no if in reality.

Fang Yu looked at Hu Di and Heath from a distance, and it was not until he saw that the other party disappeared into the outer part of the square that he stood up from his hiding place.

I was a little surprised in my heart—

This emotion came when he first found the Attaria he knew—friendship and bonding, adventure and encounter, and everything behind it.

He held up the clockwork fairy in his hand, and the delicate structure carved in brass buzzed and vibrated its wings, and flew high into the sky.

Fang Plover looked up at the little thing turning into a shining point.

Above the clear blue sky there, white clouds formed a long trail, and they slowly drifted towards the sea of sky in Aitalia with the long wind at a height of tens of thousands of meters.

And the thin fairy wings, carrying only a bizarre dream, flew higher and higher until it overlooked the land.

Doriphon in the Forest.

At that moment, it was like the starting point of this dream.

……

The sound of crumbling came from above the cavern, rustling, like the soft sound of something digging out.

There was a pungent musty smell in the darkness, and the hallway was narrow and damp, but not so bad that it hit a wall. Because in the corners are clusters of glowing mushrooms, these strange plants have curved umbrella handles, and they look a little colorful gooseneck flasks in the various fluorescences.

But suddenly, with a thud, one side of the cave collapsed, revealing a small hole next to it. Sky Blue and Kita stood cautiously on the other side of the cave and stabbed the floor behind the tunnel with Attila's spear before whispering, "It seems that there is no problem." ”

"But I've always felt that this place has been a little different since before." The underground was damp and cold, not at all like the stuffiness of the underground corridors in other places, as if it was air-conditioned, making people's hairs stand on end.

Ji Ta held her little hand to her mouth, and said to Tianlan with a faint white breath.

"That's right," Tianlan frowned as he looked at the skull of a rodent that had been dead for an unknown amount of time in the corridor, "I do feel this way, but the truth is that nothing has changed." ”

The two of them couldn't help but turn around and look at the elf lady behind them.

Attila's gaze looked into the depths of darkness.

As a believer in Ameya, she is indeed the most sensitive to the changes of nature, and from the moment the illusion changes, she has already sensed that something is wrong.

One of the most profound changes is that the connection with nature in the illusion becomes real after a certain moment.

It felt like all of a sudden coming back to reality.

But faintly, the thing on the other end of the tunnel made her feel even more uneasy. She had approached the thing, but hesitated.

She didn't know why she had to come to this place, especially with Kita and Sky Blue by her side.

And then.

And she saw the door.

A rusty iron door that sleeps in the dark.

……
