Chapter 218: The Sacrificial Ground II
According to Sylvid, not many people really know that she went underground.
Since the Jeffrey Redcoats had entered the ruins before her, and Sister Alice had never met her, Fang Yu knew that what the other party said might be true - she entered the ruins later than them, and the progress of the rain listeners was almost the same as theirs, so it was very likely that the two did not intersect.
Except for the few who listened to the rain and the Jeffrey Redcoats, no one else would know who Sylvid was, even the Blood Oath was probably no exception, because the Jeffrey Redcoats had no reason to share some of their guild's secrets with their subordinate guilds, unless the two were inverted.
In other words, the only knights who knew this were a few people around him and Miss Atira.
Among them, Chest, Parker, and Tenaric only learned from him after the eighth floor, so they can be excluded.
Attila, the Big Cat Man, and Sylvide's maid Lady, as natives, have neither the motive nor the means to get in touch with the Jeffrey Redcoats, and they don't think about it. In the same way, Tianlan can also be excluded, because her background is not the Chinese division, and she has no interest in the Jeffrey Redcoats, the Rain Listeners, and other forces.
The only ones left were Kita and Luo Yu, but Fang Yu had considered that even if the two were inside members of the Jeffrey Reds, the most they could know was that Sylvid had gone underground, and they wouldn't know who was around her, let alone where she would go.
Everyone gets along day and night, Fang Yu is very aware of the cautiousness and caution of the noble lady, and even he doesn't have the information he has, how did Luo Yu and Ji Ta know about it? Therefore, in this way, the suspicion of the two is not too big.
The remaining possibilities are nothing more than two points, and the first thing he considers is whether Sylvid lied -
But it seems unlikely, those undead seem to appear at the right time, but in fact they are not under the command of Sylvid, otherwise those Jeffrey Cardinals on the platform would have to wait for them to deal with it?
Secondly, although Sylvade also had these men in black around him, they had already identified themselves as human beings or dwarves, and Fang Yu listened carefully to the voices of these people, and there was nothing strange about them. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the other party may have done it on purpose, but there is a more important point next, which is enough to wash away the suspicion of these people.
That's a detail that Fang Plover remembers, when the Jeffrey Redcoats were arguing with those guilds, they mentioned this sentence: 'She killed so many people, not only the Electors, but also the village of the Anderts above, and we chased that woman all the way to this place-'
This sentence sounded like a contradiction to what Sylvid had said, but in retrospect, he found some doubts in it. What is a chase? The chase must be one side in front of the other, and if the fact that the Jeffrey Redcoats are chasing Sylvest to the twelfth floor exists, then the Jeffrey Redcoats, who are the pursuers, must be trailing behind Sylvid.
But in fact, Fang Yu still remembered that the dragon ship appeared long after the Jeffrey Redcoats team went to the twelfth floor, and the statement of the small group of adventurers they met after arriving on the twelfth floor can also corroborate this.
Naturally, there is no need for the Jeffrey Redcoats to fake Sylvid, which means that this may be the truth.
But Sylvester didn't lie, and that's a wonderful problem.
Fang Yu thought about it back and forth, and realized that he had missed a possibility from the beginning, that is, in addition to them, there was actually a 'person' who also knew very well who had entered this ruin.
To be precise, it knows everyone who enters the ruins, and when and where they will appear.
It is a dragon.
For many years, it was revered as Torragotos.
A flash of lightning flashed in Fang Yuan's mind, and many things that were originally hidden in the fog seemed to be explained in an instant—in Sophie's description, the old dragon had always been greedy, why would he suddenly be generous to a stranger to him?
Is it because of the Dragon Elector?
And the reason for Tenarek?
But Fang Yu only subconsciously raised his right hand and looked at the back of his hand.
There was a silver sigil there, and he knew that it had once been called the Radiance of the Firmament by Nicol Bolas, and more than once, the dark dragon had shown extraordinary greed for it.
And if it's just for the sake of the agreement with the goddess Milella, to strengthen the black seal underground? So why didn't the other party give permission to Silver Vislan and his party, and had to let this team, which was obviously Fenris's strongest combat power, wander out of the rules of the game?
It's illogical.
But on the other hand, it's easy to understand -
He had been deeply puzzled before, but it was Her Royal Highness the Silver Princess of Vislan, who had always been accustomed to Torragotos's greed, and had not been wary of it.
And the chaotic battle in the San Peroux valley before, now I think about it, it is also full of doubts, of course, it is to choose the best of the best, but in fact, there is obviously a better way, isn't it? Fang Yu carefully recalled the indifference of the other party at that time, the giant dragon obviously didn't care too much about people's life and death.
So, why should it protect the island?
What's more, locking them as the winners on the seventh floor for five hours undoubtedly intensified the competition below - but shouldn't the other party's purpose be to get more people to reach the thirteenth floor?
The only remaining question now is -
What is the purpose and motivation of the other party?
And in this dark underground, who are the hunters? And who are the prey?
Fang Yu's mind involuntarily flashed the figure of Sister Alice, but the only thing that puzzled him was why the other party had helped him and Sylvide escape from the hands of the Jeffrey Redcoats.
What is the relationship between the two?
Thinking of this, Fang Yu subconsciously turned on the communicator, and as soon as the communication crystal lit up slightly, the silver princess of the princess of the light page showed a frowning face.
The other party looked a little worried, and when he saw him, he immediately said, "You came just in time, Ed, have you finished the matter over there?" ”
"What's wrong?" Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, and had a faint premonition that something was happening.
"We've had some attacks, and these things are a bit like the ones you were talking about—I mean, the Dragon's Servants," Sophie replied, "and you'd better come and have a look when you're done." ”
"......" Fang Yu was a little silent.
He had jokingly wondered if there would be a second dark dragon in the world?
But I never expected that I would actually say that not only may there be a second dark dragon in this world, but its identity may be hidden even deeper than Nicol Bolas.
It's just a momentary wandering.
But Fang Yu also understood that time was pressing, and immediately nodded and said: "I'll come here, I may have some things to tell you, but I can't tell you for a while, let's talk about it when I come over - besides, you be careful, those dark creatures are difficult to kill, it's best to protect our priests." ”
On the other side of the page, Sophie bowed her head lightly before closing the communication page.
She was slightly stunned for a moment before turning around and looking up at a middle-aged man behind her—to be exact, a projection of a middle-aged man, who was wearing a black trench coat and was overly old, although he was not confused by his appearance—this was a rather rare age for the electors of this world, but there was no sign of a weakening of the same tone as the starlight on the other party.
The man is carrying two black halberds, his eyebrows are obliquely inserted into his temples, his eyes are sharp under his eyebrows, just like two sharp swords, although the temples are slightly white, but the body still seems to have the vigor of the young age, and the momentum has not diminished at all, even if it is a standard middle-aged uncle, but walking on the street is afraid that it will still attract the attention of many girls and children.
If Fang Plover was here, he would probably be a little surprised, because this middle-aged man was neither the current president of Silver Veslan, nor the top management of the Sea Falcon Club behind him, and those people were often exposed on TV and in the community, and Fang Plover was not unrecognizable.
But in front of the middle-aged man, Her Royal Highness the Princess of Silver Vislan, she looked a little uncomfortable.
The middle-aged man didn't care about Sophie, just looked at the direction where the communication page disappeared, and then asked, "That's the kid who killed you?" ”
Sophie frowned and explained, "It was just an accident. ”
"Then why is he wearing such a strange mask and afraid to see me? A man should be a man—"
"He's always wearing this mask," Sophie said angrily, "...... What's more, it was for some other reason, and it had something to do with the Jeffrey Reds. ”
"Then you don't need Mithril, right, this guy has a problem with his brain?"
"Dad," Sophie was a little angry: "What kind of mask people like to wear is his freedom, are you boring?" ”
The middle-aged man shrugged: "Okay, let's get down to business, I heard that you exchanged the Silver Vislan's energy angel to him, it can't be using my influence, right?" ”
"You're thinking too much," Sophie frowned, "what influence can you have?" That's a fair deal, speaking of which, Silver Vislan took advantage, when did I lose money in business? ”
The middle-aged man glanced at her and laughed: "Okay, of course my girl should be so powerful, and they took advantage of you by giving you to Silver Vislan." ”
"Dad, what are you talking nonsense," Sophie's face turned a rare red, and she glanced at the elemental envoy girl next to her: "There are other people here, I'm going to be angry if you blow nonsense here again." ”
The elements make the girl seem to be accustomed to such a scene, just smiling.
"I'm not bragging," the middle-aged man shook his head: "It's rare to see non-homogeneous people now, hey, people's hearts are not ancient, I want to be back then-"
"Su Changfeng!"
"Okay, okay, I won't talk about it......" The middle-aged man named Su Changfeng touched his nose awkwardly: "But there is indeed such a guy recently, hey, it's hard to say it, that kid has caused us a lot of trouble." ”
Sophie was slightly stunned: "Is there a non-homogeneous person?" What's going on? ”
Su Changfeng was stunned for a moment, only then did he realize that he was speechless, and hurriedly coughed: "Don't ask, confidential matters." ”
"Cut," Her Royal Highness the Silver Princess of Vislan wrinkled her nose very girlishly, "not uncommon. ”
Su Changfeng shook his head, and then said: "Okay, the chatter ends here, girl, your people have wiped out a regiment of the Jeffrey Redcoats team below, and the other party has sued you at the top level, and the people of Silver Vislan can't do anything about you, so they found me, let's talk about it, what's going on?" ”
He glanced at the latter seriously: "Don't think about nonsense, I know you're not such a careless person." ”
Sophie thought for a moment, bit her lip, and then replied in a low voice: "That's because the Jeffrey Redcoats are to blame, and our people speculate that there is a dark evil god sealed down there, and those guys are colluding with the cultists and the things down there, for the sake of protecting my own people, of course I have to be sorry for them." ”
The element next to her made the girl slightly startled, and she glanced at her with some surprise.
"Collusion with cultists?" Su Changfeng was also stunned and looked at his daughter: "Wait, do you have any evidence?" It's big or small, especially right now, and you don't joke with your reputation. ”
Sophie snorted: "You think your daughter is someone, of course I have proof." ”
After saying that, she released the scene that Fang Yu had sent her before, filmed on the fifth floor underground, where the members of the Blood Oath summoned the Dragon Servants, for the middle-aged people on the side to watch.
It was a short video in which Sophie froze the scene before looking at the latter and asking, "Well, you should know these things, right?" ”
Su Changfeng nodded: "Dragon servant, it's interesting, how can there be these things under Fenris, the tentacles of the Dragon Worship Sect extend so far?" ”
"Worship the Dragons?" Sophie was keen to hear something: "Speaking of which, is what happened in Charter City recently related to the Dragon Witch back then?" ”
Su Changfeng opened his mouth to answer, but suddenly reacted and glared at his daughter, and said sternly: "Don't ask less if you shouldn't ask." ”
Sophie was embarrassed to stick out her tongue in embarrassment.
Su Changfeng was silent for a moment, clicked on the video again, watched it again, and then shook his head: "That's the person who swore the blood alliance, what does it have to do with the people of the Jeffrey Redcoats?" ”
Sophie looked at him in surprise: "What is the relationship between the Blood Oath and the Jeffrey Redcoats, do you know?" ”
"This kind of thing can't be put on the table," Su Changfeng shook his head: "Forget it, you don't understand it, and besides, this bit of evidence doesn't mean anything, and whoever doesn't do something shady in those big guilds in private, you Silver Vislan are not the same." ”
"Dad, of course we're not the same Silver Vislan!" Sophie raised her eyebrows and said angrily.
"Of course, of course," Su Changfeng hurriedly changed his words: "Except for Silver Vislan, who doesn't know that you are a dignified formation?" Seeing his daughter's uncertain face, he hurriedly changed his words: "But everyone will make some small moves in private, this little evidence doesn't mean anything, and we also know that this violates the "Stargate Declaration", but as long as you don't put it on the surface, you can't convince others that the Jeffrey Redcoats are determined to be anti-human, right?" ”
"I didn't say they were anti-human," Sophie replied, "but they did such a thing, and I can't help them, right?" ”
"Of course, this has to teach them a lesson, okay, this matter will end here," Su Changfeng blew his chin: "With this evidence, they really can't say anything about what you did to them, after all, they don't take advantage of it first-as for the rest of the matter, leave it to me to deal with." ”
Speaking of this, he glanced at his daughter and couldn't help but shake his head: "You, you're just too unforgiving." ”
Sophie smiled slightly when she heard this, but she didn't refute it.
"Is there anything else going on, little girl?" Su Changfeng asked: "I can go first without me, I have something to do here." ”
"Don't worry," Sophie hurriedly stopped him: "Of course there is, don't you often complain about the lack of manpower, I'll recommend a talent to you, how about you see?" ”
"Talent?"
"Combat Artisan."
"Oh?" Su Changfeng was slightly stunned, and became a little interested: "Is that kid just now?" But I remember that there is also a combat craftsman in your team, it won't be a defective product that you don't want, and I recommend it to your father, right? ”
Sophie's face couldn't help but be a little dark when she heard it, which kind of door did she don't want? She wants it very much, but this guy is a stubborn donkey, and she decided that she doesn't want to join the Grand Guild, what can she do? My dad really can't open any pot.
She said with a straight face: "You stand aside, just watch later, don't make a sound." ”
"So strict?"
"Of course, let me tell you, this guy is a real genius, and don't blame me for not warning you."
"Oh?" Su Changfeng was slightly stunned: "Even my girl is a genius who praises her, then I really have to take a look." ”
Sophie nodded, and then turned on the communication channel.
Over there, Fang Yu had just hurried back to the direction of the square, and he glanced back to see Sylvid and the others following him—as if the men in black were his men, but those men had already pulled up their hoods again at Sylvid's signal.
It seems that he is reluctant to show his true face easily.
Fang Yuan's gaze turned to Sylvide, whose shoulder wound had not fully healed, and blood was still oozing from under the bandage. Her face was pale, and her steps were light, as if she would be blown down by a gust of wind at any moment—so that he was a little concerned, turned back to help the latter, and asked in a low voice, "Am I walking too fast and need to rest?" ”
Sylvid looked at him, a slight satisfaction hidden in her cunning eyes, and shook her head slightly: "No need, captain, the more important thing at the moment is to buy time." ”
Fang Yu nodded, the fact that a mysterious third-party force existed, he was not surprised that Sylvid could see this.
In fact, this aristocratic lady has always had a much better mind than him, and the reason why she didn't see through it before was just because of the limited information she had - through the clues he revealed before, the other party had obviously realized the core of the problem.
However, Sylvid did not resist him, and even leaned her head slightly against him.
This made Fang Yuan a little uncomfortable, but when he looked back at the haggard appearance of the noble lady's face like white paper, he thought about it for a while, and couldn't bear to refuse.
So he returned to the square with Sylvid, and the knights couldn't help but whistle when they saw this, and the ink-dyed green bamboo eyes that ran over were about to pop out, and they looked at him with a look of adoration.
Fortunately, Fang Yuan's face had gradually cultivated and formed, but when everything was gone, he looked at the scene and found that those dragon servants had already been extinguished by the people of Silver Vislan.
All that remained were a few clouds of black smoke.
Fang Yu counted the corpses, and there were actually seven or eight of them.
Then he turned back and asked the others, "Where did these things come from?" ”
"From behind us," before the knights could reply, Sophie's voice came from the communicator, and she first looked at Fang Yu and Sylved beside him with some curiosity, and there was some surprise in her eyes, and then she said, "It's not just these things, you better take a look at this." ”
With that, she asked a knight to come up and take Fang Yu to the side of the square.
There was an obsidian obelisk that could be found everywhere in the subterranean ruins, but this one was a little different—a faint black mist seeping out of the minaret.
Like liquid nitrogen, the smoke hung down from the obelisk and slowly piled up on the ground, forming a thick cloud of black smoke.
"...... this?"
"That's what it was made out of the black smoke." Sophie replied.
"How many of these things are there?"
"A lot," she said, "especially on our way here, I had people go back and see it, and the situation is much more serious than here, and I suspect that this ruin is already full of such dragon servants." ”
Fang Yu was silent for a moment.
Someone is blocking their back road.
Sophie's words further confirmed his suspicions, and he said, "I actually have some guesses, but before I do that, I want to ask you a question, Miss Sophie." ”
"What's the problem?"
"I'd like to ask a question about the rain listeners."
