The trial of the Dragon Bergian spies was held in the central square of Gray Owl Town.
Thin snowflakes float in the gloomy sky.
There is a fountain of old age in the middle of the pebbly square. The water of the spring has long dried up. There is a stone statue standing in the fountain. The statue is staring at the gloomy sky with a cold expression.
The knights set up a wooden platform on the side of the fountain, facing the dark crowd below.
The trial took place on the wooden platform, and the knights took the rumored Dragon-Bai Sect spies to the stage one by one, read out their evil deeds, and then pronounced the sentence one by one.
Fang Zhu noticed at least two types of knights in different clothes. The knights they had met were responsible for reading, while another type of knight with black feathers on his helmets, holding a big sword in his hand, responsible for execution.
Both knights wore similar crow-headed helmets, the only difference being on the outer robe and the feathers.
The latter type of knights are pressing the prisoners on the guillotine, announcing the sins they committed - betraying the teachings of the gods of Orin, or surrendering to the forces of darkness.
Fang Yu was originally a little interested in the spies of the Dragon Belief Sect, but when he saw those people, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.
In his opinion, those who were standing on the stage, either ragged and barefoot, were all old, weak, sick and disabled, trembling in the cold wind, not like the dark believers he had seen.
It's like a group of fleeing hungry people.
They struggled to beg for mercy on the guillotine, or cried, but some also cursed.
The knight remained indifferent and only raised the big sword in his hand. The cold light of the sword blade lingered, and he slashed straight down.
The bloody red arrow fell into the snow, which was extremely eye-catching.
Alisa covered Jita's eyes, while Silmide blocked Ai Xiaoxiao.
There was a silence in the square.
The corpse, which had lost its head, slid weakly to one side, and the blood sprayed quickly turned into white light. The death of the body is not the end here. Generally speaking, the execution has to be held many times, making it more like a solemn ceremony.
Fang Yu frowned even slightly. How could a white light flash when the dark believer was resurrected? This was somewhat inconsistent with his perception.
He looked around and saw that there were both natives and conscripts in the square, but no one raised any objections to this.
"Those people are spies from the Dragon Sect?"
The owner of the hotel who brought them here nodded, "The people in the Crow Claw Temple will not be wrong."
"How did they catch these people?"
"In that battle three days ago, these people opened the door and put the dragon beast in."
"Dragon beast attacked here three days ago?"
The hotel owner nodded slightly: "If it weren't for the Holy Guards, the Gray Owl Town you saw now would be ruins."
Fang Yu raised his head again, thinking that the so-called Holy Guards were those mysterious knights?
And he has not yet figured out what the Crow Claw Temple originated.
At this time, the knights took a little girl up. The little girl was wearing heavy shackles and dragging iron chains. She was only wearing shabby clothes, lowered her head, twisted her hands, and shivered in the wind and snow.
The knight pushed the little girl and made her kneel on the guillotine, then took out the document from her arms, and read it out in a muffled voice.
Fang Zhu looked at the little girl with cold hands and feet red, and was a little unbelievable: "Is this also a Dragon Worshiper?"
The hotel owner shook his head as he looked at the place and replied with certainty: "The people in the Crow Claw Temple are not wrong. She may be a relative of some of the people here."
"Relatives are also guilty?"
The hotel owner turned around and looked at him, with an incredible light in his eyes: "Don't you know?"
"What do you know?"
But at this time the knight had finished reading, and the knight wearing Heiyu walked up with a big sword in his hand. He pressed the little girl's head with his hand and adjusted her angle.
The little girl seemed to have lost the strength to resist, and her eyes were a little hollow as if she was a ragged doll.
The knight with black feathers then stood up, took a step back, raised the sword high above the top, and then slashed it down with one sword.
Tianlan couldn't help but shout.
Fang Yu also narrowed his eyes slightly, and several ladies from the Qihai Brigade subconsciously identified them.
And it was at this moment that a strange low whistle suddenly came from the northwest corner of the square.
Fang Zhu subconsciously looked in that direction, and the whistle came in an instant. The head of the knight holding a giant sword on the wooden platform suddenly tilted, and the next moment, there was a shaking feather arrow on his neck.
The giant sword in the opponent's hand immediately fell down and made a loud noise.
He grabbed the air in vain and staggered forward as if he was drunk, and finally fell from the stands with a loud bang.
There was an uproar in the square immediately.
"They have a party!"
Seeing this, the remaining knights shouted lowly and drew their swords one after another. They reacted quickly, and their first reaction was to turn to the prisoners around them with their swords, intending to send them back to the temple first.
The knight who was responsible for reading it shot at the little girl with a quick shot, ready to finish the attack.
All this happened so suddenly that even Fang Zhun couldn't react.
He only saw that a few white lights suddenly flashed in the stands, and a group of black-clothed masked attackers emerged from them. As soon as they appeared, they each launched an attack on the nearest knights.
The knight who rushed towards the little girl had just reached halfway, and saw a burning woman walking out of the light gate ahead, holding a long sword and slashing at him with a sword.
He had no choice but to retreat, but the opponent's offensive was extremely fierce, and he had only the power to resist for a moment.
Fixed-point teleportation magic - Fang Yu finally saw the situation clearly.
Although the sudden attackers were unknown to the sacred, they were obviously more than the knights. The so-called Crow Claw Knights were at most at level 17 or 18, and their opponents were at least above level 20.
Almost just a meeting, the knights in the stands were cleaned off the stage, either dead or injured. The knight in charge of reading was pierced by the red-haired female swordsman's swordsman's heart, and he was so heartbroken that he fell from the stands.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The gurgling blood flowed out from under the silver armor, making it shocking in the snow.
The female swordsman then turned around, cut off the chains on the little girl's hands and feet with one sword, and helped the other party 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 other person's mouth clearly. He could only take out the record crystal to take a picture of this scene, and then after seeing that the little girl shook her head gently.
The red-haired female swordsman picked up the little girl horizontally and looked back at the stands. Her companions had almost wiped out the knights on the stands and saved most of them.
Although some people were injured during the process, it was generally smooth. She shouted something low, then turned around and jumped down from the stands.
At this time, the square was already in chaos, and almost everyone was running away, fearing that they would be involved in the battle. The red-haired female swordsman jumped down and how dare the crowd below stop him, so they all avoided and formed a way.
There are also some candidates in the square at this moment, but most of them are in a state of being unrelated to their own affairs and just watch from the side, beware of being involved in the trouble.
Because the Crow Claw Knight was unable to stop the attacker and the summoned did not take action, the square became even more chaotic.
The owner of the hotel was quite kind. Before escaping, he shouted to them: "It's the Dragon Witch's men, they are all cold-blooded and ruthless killers, you guys run away!"
However, Fang Yu looked at the people horizontally and vertically, they didn’t look like Dragon Worshipers—
He only looked at each other with Silweid. Although he was not sure that the attacker who suddenly appeared was Nico Polas's subordinate, it was indeed not suitable for inexplicably being involved in it.
Tianlan seemed a little hesitant, and she obviously wanted to help those people: "Brother Ed?"
But Fang Yu shook his head. He actually thought those people were innocent, but the situation is still unclear, and he is not sure that his judgment must be correct.
"Look first, then talk." He answered only.
And while saying that, he winked at everyone and took them a little back 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 led the little girl to rush left and right in the crowd, and finally rushed towards them in a direction.
However, after a closer look, he found that the attackers' retreat route was planned, and they were almost scattered in every direction of the square. Therefore, no matter what direction the Seven Seas Brigade was, it would inevitably bump 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.
But when the other party looked up and saw them, a look of doubt flashed in his eyes.
And Fang Yu was a little strange here, and always felt that the other party looked familiar.
He was about to speak, but the female swordsman's face turned cold, and he raised the long sword in his hand and pointed it at them: "Get out of the way--"
Fang Yu looked at the opponent's shaking sword tip, and was not worried. The strength shown by the opponent was the level of an ordinary recruiter at level 20. At this level, he could beat ten people at the same time with all his strength.
At this time, some commotion appeared in a corner of the square. Fang Yu turned his gaze to that direction, and a silver clockwork fairy flew over quietly. In just a moment, he saw what was happening there.
A summoner came over, and he was an old acquaintance - the other party's silver battle robe, who seemed very familiar to him - the man from the Silver Forest Spear.
But what surprised him was that the people of Silver Forest Spear seemed to be on the same side as the knights of the Crow Claw Temple. They surrounded several attackers there and divided their hands and rushed over to the side.
Fang Yu then pulled up the goggles, withdrew his gaze, looked at the female swordsman in front of him, and told the truth:
"You are not our opponent."
The female swordsman only held the sword tightly and said nothing. In fact, when Fang Yu pulled down the goggles, her heart tightened - a combat craftsman, any of the callers in Aitalia understood what the combat craftsman meant.
That means that under the Dragon Knight, he surpasses ordinary people's combat power.
The sword she held was released, she held it tightly again, hesitating for a few times, but in the end she didn't dare to take action. It would be fine if Fang Yu was alone, but the other party was obviously more than one person.
Fang Yu turned his gaze aside 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 distracted.
He sighed, took a step back to the side, and gave way.
"Let's go."
"But if you are really Dragon worshipers, I can let you leave and I will naturally capture you back."
The female swordsman was slightly stunned, looked back, gritted her teeth, and rushed through them with her little girl.
But after walking a few steps, she realized that Fang Rong and others didn't stop her. She turned around and looked at them in surprise.
"Don't worry, we are not redeemed."
The female swordsman hesitated for a moment, threw down this sentence, and soon disappeared from that direction into the alley.
Redeemed?
Fang Yu stood there and looked in that direction for a while before hearing a soft voice from the side: "Mr. Ed, I think you did the right thing.
He turned around and saw that the person who was talking was Miss May, and she also participated in the trip with them.
However, what surprised Fang Ling a little was that as Ou Li's knight, he originally thought that Miss Knight should have expressed his attitude earlier.
But from the trial until now, Miss Knight only supported her own sword and remained calm from beginning to end.
"Miss May, what do you think of those people?"
"I don't know very well whether they are dark believers, and I won't act rashly until there is no evidence."
Fang Yu nodded, which was exactly what he thought.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The people from Silver Forest Spear came soon because someone saw them letting the female swordsman go.
The one who came to ask them was a young man. When the other party saw him, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Have we seen him somewhere?"
Fang Yu was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that he was so famous in Yinlin Spear. However, he had indeed had a lot of dealings with Yinlin Spear, in the Elves Relics, at the Traveler's Rest, and later formed a team with Wu Di and Liu Liyue.
In Dorifin, he had contact with the people of the Silver Forest Spear, and even pulled Liuliyue into his team, killed all over the craftsman competition, and won a first place.
In a sense, he has some connection with the Silver Forest Spear.
But of course he is not showing his true face now. After all, the Seven Seas Brigade is still on the wanted order of Kaorin-Ishurien, and all of them have been disguised when they go out.
Fang Yum was not surprised at the other party's inquiry, and just answered for granted: "There are quite a few people who know me."
This strategy of doing the opposite made the young man slightly stunned. He did not think about Fang Yu at all on the wanted order, but only thought that the other party might be the more famous caller of this generation.
He was stunned for a moment and hurriedly replied, "Everyone, have you seen where those dark believers escaped?"
Although Fang Yu asked the female swordsman to escape before, he did not hide it now and only pointed in the direction the other party left.
After so long, the alley was complicated and he might not be able to find out whereabouts of the other party when he released the clockwork fairy, let alone these people. Therefore, he was not worried that the other party could really find the female swordsman and the little girl.
"Please trouble everyone."
The young man didn't make things difficult for them, so he said thank you and led the person to chase him in that direction.
They didn't stop the female swordsman, but this was reasonable - why do you have to do something that is not good for the summoner?
...
"Can you tell us about those spies who worship the Dragon Sect in detail?"
Back at the hotel, Fang Yu asked straight to the point.
After hearing this question, the owner of the hotel put down the cup in his hand and looked up at them.
The lobby of the hotel is much more lively than before.
People sat around the table in groups of three or three, still whispering the riots not long ago. The dark red fire reflected the outline of everyone's dark face.
"What is the most expensive wine here?"
"Gredo, sir."
"Then give me a drink."
Fang Zhu put a gold coin engraved with anchors on both sides on the counter.
The hotel owner hesitated for a moment before putting away the money, then walked back and pulled out a bottle of Elf Gin from the wine rack.
He walked back with the bottle, was silent for a moment, and then said, "I don't know if you know this, it was those people who attracted the shadow man."
"Shadowman?"
Fang Yu saw an indescribable expression on the owner's face briefly, and the other party's face became extremely pale. The dark curly hair seemed to be covered with a layer of shadow, and the eyes hidden below were shining with a ray of fear:
"Neither one has seen them, and some people describe them as floating light and shadows, which will devour people and become their appearance."
"No one knows when they appeared. Since the fall of Charter City, these things have appeared everywhere. They can quietly penetrate into our world and wait for an opportunity to move."
"In fact, before the Crow Claw Temple discovered a way to identify them, these monsters almost put Gula Port in an extremely passive situation at one point."
The light blue wine was poured into the glass, shining with a blurry light.
The hotel owner held up the bottle and continued to answer:
"Just a few days ago, the shadow man penetrated into the town guards, and killed the janitor in his sleep, leading the dragon beast over. If the Holy Guards had not discovered it in time, you would have only seen a piece of ruins here."
Fang Zhu has never heard of such a thing, a monster that sounds highly intelligent and can transform into a human being?
Is there such a creature in Etaria? Or is it another twisted thing derived from the dark will of Nico Polas?
"That little girl?"
"Shadow people tend to give priority to assimilating relatives of those who are assimilated."
Fang Yu only then realized it.
But he couldn't help but fall into silence. The little girl who looked very innocent - was really swallowed by the monster and turned into Nico Polas' minions?
But it seems that those people are very different from the dark believers and the dragon's minions in his impression. It is really hard for him to believe that the other party is a cult who has lost his mind.
"I have lived in Gula for a few years, but I have never heard of anything like that." The lady in the ship's side suddenly spoke.
The owner of the hotel shook his head: "I have never heard of these monsters in the past, they seem to appear suddenly."
"In the past few months, several villages have been broken from the inside because of this reason. You can ask the refugees and they will give you almost the same answer."
"How did those knights determine this?"
"They have their own way, but this time I heard someone witnessed them with their own eyes and those people had come into contact with the woman not long ago."
"woman?"
"Dragon Witch, as long as she is there, there will be those monsters."
Fang Zhu was slightly stunned.
As he expected, the shadow man was indeed Nico Polas' follower? But isn't the Dragon Witch Ms. Misu now?
