The walls made a staggering sound and retreated, behind which was the entrance to a basement.

Seeing Alisa put her hand on the sinking square brick, Ai Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes curiously and said in surprise: "I didn't expect there was a secret door here. Miss Ai is so amazing. Miss Ai, like me, has the surname Ai, and they are all from our Ai family."

"Miss Aitela is not surnamed Ai." Fang Yu said that he corrected the strange ideas that his cousin's friend was full of.

"But what's the difference?"

“It’s a big difference.”

While answering, he stretched out the torch in his hand and shook it behind the secret door. The torch has this benefit compared to the lighting crystal. On the one hand, it can provide a little warmth in the cold, and on the other hand, it can come in handy in the current scene.

Fang Zhu waved the torch, but the light of the torch was very stable, which seemed to indicate that the air inside might not be different from that outside.

He tested it for a while before turning around and handing the torch to the Paparals on the side - after hearing that something had been discovered here, everyone who could not find any valuable clues in other directions also returned here.

Only Kweed and Blackbeau left some of the redeemed people to watch outside, and Saya and her people also voluntarily stayed there, and everyone else gathered here.

The Paparals walked downwards, and the light of the torch extended down the steps, but it was not too deep, only about ten levels in total, followed by a turn, and then another step. However, two steps were only ordinary heights, and below was the basement.

The Paparals raised their torches and outlined the basement with the light of the fire—the bottom was spacious, made of hard rocks, but nothing was left.

He blinked his eyes and looked around the empty room, with a pit at the end, and the pool was pitch black, but nothing inside.

Parker couldn't help feeling disappointed and said, "Hey, there's nothing here, I'm just happy."

The dwarf shrugged again: "We should have thought of it. They destroyed all traces and there is no reason to leave such a place for us to discover. The cellar we discovered last time in Istaña was just a good luck, but luck would not be so good every time."

Hongye then turned around and asked curiously: "What did you do in Istaniya?"

"Well..." Parker stammered and couldn't speak out for a moment. Some of their experiences in Istaniya cannot be mentioned to the public. It was related to some secrets of the Penelope royal family and their relationship with the kingdom. Although the Paparals were not light or serious, they at least understood that this was the team's resolution.

But they actually had nothing to hide from the people in Tapolis. Parker looked at Kwid and Blackbo on the side, but he could not trust these outsiders instinctively.

Fang Yu ignored the two of them and walked down the steps and came to the edge of the pool. With the light of the torch, he found that the dark things under the pool were uneven, like dry blood. But he squatted down and tried it with his hands, and found that the thing was not a blood shell, solidified on the stone slab without moving.

He then turned around and signaled Parker to take the torch. When the flames approached, the whole picture of the pool was reflected. It was like a layer of crystal growing at the bottom of the pool, dark and absorbed most of the light, with only a glimmer of light refracting at the edge.

"What is this?" Ai Xiaoxiao asked.

But Fang Yu was not sure what this was. He looked at Jita beside him. The naturalist stood on the edge of the pool with the big book in his hand, frowned and looked at the situation below. But after a while, she turned around and shook her head gently at Fang Yu, indicating that she didn't know either.

"May I go and see it?" Ji Ta felt unwilling to help her knowledge. She looked at the crystal again and asked in a low voice.

Fang Yu nodded. He had already gone downstairs once before, and there was no danger below.

Ji Ta put the thick book in his hand on the edge of the pool and climbed down carefully. Fang Zhu walked over and helped her. "Thank you, 'Captain'." Ji Ta blushed a little, looked at him, and answered a little stammeringly.

She quickly retracted her hand, bit her lip and turned around, half-kneeled down and touched the crystals in the pool with her hands, but a special sense was responded to the fingertips - she suddenly put aside her dazed mood and focused her mind.

The touch was slightly cold, with a hint of chill, but it was not like the touch of reality. It seemed that the fingertips passed through a layer of space and touched an unreal world.

The naturalist Miss has been dealing with the ether for a long time and realized this inappropriateness. If an ordinary person had perhaps not been able to feel anything abnormal, the crystals he touched with his hands were just some hard ‘glass’.

Fang Yu stood on the pool and looked at it, then asked, "Have you found anything?"

"Captain...these crystals contain scattered etheric power, and I don't know much about the composition," Jita replied in a low voice: "...they seem to exist in this world, but they are anchored in another space, and my hands can pass through it to touch the 'they' that exist in another world."

"Isn't that the attribute of time and space?" Fang Yu also has a solid foundation in ether theory and can understand this description as soon as he hears it.

Jita then withdrew her hand and placed it at the end of her nose to sniff. She frowned her delicate eyebrows and smelled a faint smell of blood.

"Blood?" Fang Rong was a little surprised when he listened to the other party's description. He instinctively felt something. He turned around and happened to see Aitela and Hongye and others walking up together. "——Will anyone have had a blood sacrifice here?" Alisa immediately asked sensitively after hearing the conversation between the two.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! After all, for the members of the Seven Seas Brigade, they have already dealt with too many believers of the Dark Saints, so it is not surprising that such associations will occur.

But Aitela knew what the two were thinking and shook her head. She looked around and replied, "There is no necessary thing for the ceremony here, and this alone cannot explain anything."

She didn't say more, but the implication was that if she wanted to prove the other party, she still needed more evidence.

Fang Yu nodded slightly, and then he looked at Jita and said, "But no matter what, this place should be the most suspected place. There is no need to waste time anymore. Let's try it here."

Jita responded, picked up her magic book, opened it and spread it under the pool. She squatted down, pressed her snow-white hands on the page, knelt there, and then raised her head to look at the Elf Miss-

Atira was untiing the necklace from her neck. The leaf lying flat on her chest was Aimeya's holy emblem. She picked up the necklace with one hand, raised the holy emblem, and then a faint green light shot towards Jita's magic book.

With Jita's magic book as the center, a misty piece of smoke and dust spread out.

In Aitalia, prophecy has always been the realm of all saints, and even astrology must use divine power to see the future shrouded by the fog. Aimeya has always been an ally of Mallan, the lady of Justice. The two goddesses once promised a help to Fang Zhu, and now is the time for them to fulfill their promise.

Of course, the promise of Olin Zongsheng is not without restrictions, but Fang Yuchen understands that when used in this way, it must be in line with the other party's wishes.

Sure enough, the divine power in the dark passed through the space and came to this basement.

The misty smoke formed a phantom, covering the entire basement, with shadows coming in, but it was not objects, but people. There were many figures faintly, as if they had happened in this basement for a period of time, but they gradually freeze, gradually overlap and turn into one.

Jita's hands were pressed against the pages, and her eyes were filled with silver light. She seemed to have turned into an incarnation of the long river of time, going back to a certain moment, on a certain day two months ago.

"Look back to history."

She spoke in a low voice, her cold voice as if she was not herself, time was deposited in ancient books, reading history was like seeing the past.

The heavy phantoms finally freeze and turned into several established figures. They were like ghosts, translucent, glowing in this dark basement. There were seven figures, tall and short, and one of them was a shorter, female figure standing beside the pool.

She stared at the pool, her face lingering in fog, and couldn't see its image clearly, but her eyes seemed to face Jita in the pool, empty and silent, which made the naturalist lady shudder. The woman half-kneeled down and picked up a crystal from the pool. She held up the crystal with her hands, then turned around-

"Gollydia!?"

Bain couldn't help but scream when he looked at the image of the woman. Even though he couldn't see the face covered by the phantom fog, he still recognized his companion whom he had been with day and night in his outfit and body.

Unfortunately, the phantom seemed to have not heard at all, and his expression passed by him calmly, and he carried the crystal toward the other six people. She raised the crystal and placed it in front of those people. The tallest one said:

"Okay, finally the job is done."

“We can leave this place.”

The empty sound echoed in the basement, like the words of ghosts, penetrating everyone's heart.

Then the seven phantoms seemed to have been weathered, and gradually dissipated into the darkness with the fog, and the basement returned to silence.

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other. Although they saw something as expected, these things seemed to be a little different from what they imagined. What is that crystal and who are those six people?

And why was Bann's missing companion among them?

The others couldn't help but look at the young man, but the latter seemed to be greatly impacted: "How could Glorydia always be here, but why can't I contact them?...She, how could she know those people? We have never been here in the past... It was just an accident to receive that task..."

Parker has always been willing to speculate on others with the worst considerations. He shook the torch and took pictures around him, and replied, "Maybe they didn't tell you the truth."

"This is impossible," Bain shook his head in disbelief: "They have no reason...and I wouldn't have doubts more about them?"

"Maybe they thought you couldn't leave here either?" Alisa thought for a moment and replied.

But the young man shook his head firmly: "...it will never be like this. I have known them for several years. Coledia and Cordyll will never be like this... and..." He couldn't help but scratch his hair in pain, and some details in his heart told him that the truth would never be like this, but for a moment he had a lot of clues but didn't know how to explain it.

Blackbeau patted the young man on the shoulder and said nothing.

Fang Yu saw the other party's embarrassment, and of course he understood that this incident had a great impact on him. In fact, it had a great impact on everyone present. At least they had not figured out what was going on here.

He looked at Jita again, asked the other party whether he had recorded the previous scene with crystal. After receiving a positive answer, he spoke: "Everyone, there is only one chance. Now we have got what we want. As for what the scene in the phantom is, maybe we still have time to argue, but not here. The Altori area is not safe. If it is confirmed that there is nothing missing, I think it is time for us to return to the Qihai Traveler--"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Everyone was a little silent. The answers that they thought were easy to get were now hidden behind the fog again - especially at the current urgent situation, which made everyone hesitate.

But Fang Yu's intentional calmness still infected them. Keweid nodded and said:

"I agree with this."

Blackbo was about to speak, but at this moment, suddenly everyone heard a loud noise coming from outside the castle.

They couldn't help but turn in that direction.

...

The redeemed people set up bonfires above the city walls.

Since there are no one else nearby, they don’t have to worry that anyone will notice the fire on the top of the city in this direction. Besides, it is cold and the city walls are frozen. If there is no fire, it is really hard to hold a watchtower under the marquee.

The swaying flames temporarily dispelled the chill, and people threw a piece of wood into the bonfire - the wood came from the exquisite and luxurious furniture in the castle, but in this cold night, they returned to their original appearance, just a piece of firewood for burning fire.

Several older hunters sat by the bonfire, leaning against the longbow, looking at the scene outside the mercedes. On the snowy night, the forest was dark, with only the whistling sound of the wind, and there was no abnormal movement. They relaxed and began to chat in a low voice. Most of them were originally refugees, from all over the place, discussing the situation in their hometowns.

This severe winter made the former northern border no longer exist, and the peaceful scene seemed to be the same as yesterday. But today, people have to face monsters that are everywhere, and in addition to the high-pressure rule of the Crow Claw Temple, which makes people breathless.

They talked about some silent topics, sometimes with long periods of silence and a few sighs. And during the silent time, people took out dry food and distributed it to each other.

Saye and Kong sat on the other side and also had food. The boy's face was still pale and weak, but he could take the bow. Fang Zhu made another magic bow for him, and it was of better quality than the previous one. He could not be more precious to this bow now, and he would never lose it again no matter what.

He thanked those people. Seeing that he was weak, the other party gave him some more dry food. Kong originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking for a while, he fell silent. Now everyone is a group of people, comrades fighting side by side, so there is no need to be so polite.

Seeing that he understood this, the other party nodded and turned around to walk back.

"Can you teach me how to shoot the arrow more accurately?" As Saya looked a little surprised, Sora got up and asked.

The cold wind whistled in winter nights, and the redeemed people looked at him with some surprise.

The boy was a little embarrassed. The summoner and the indigenous people came from two different worlds, and their experiences were often different. However, he had seen these old hunters have much better skills than him before. When dealing with those bone-like stubborns, only he and the girl named Ai Xiaoxiao missed.

The Oak Knights no longer exist-

Everything he saw in the refugee camp made him desperately want to become stronger. Only in this way can he protect the people around him.

Only by being worthy of Captain Ed's expectations.

The older hunter turned around, looked at him, thought for a while, then pointed to the bow in his hand and said, "Shoot with an arrow."

Kong nodded quickly, took off the big bow from behind, activated the magic furnace, and then opened the bow. He narrowed his eyes, aimed at the sky above the forest, and pointed the arrow in his hand in one direction, but when he was about to release the bowstring, a mutation occurred.

In his vision, in the dark night sky, a bright golden thread suddenly illuminated his eyes.

The bright golden thread slowly extended, as if someone was using a pen to slowly draw a horizontal stroke above the night sky.

Kong was slightly stunned. Facing this scene, he subconsciously let go of his hand and looked in that direction with his head raised.

Everyone stood up.

In the night sky, a ball of fire seemed to appear, and it was getting bigger and bigger, falling straight towards them.

"That's..." Kong opened his mouth wide.

But before he finished speaking, a huge force suddenly pressed him to the ground. The old hunter rushed over and overturned him to the ground. The next moment, a sharp sound was heard, mixed with strong wind, and in the eyes of the boy, the burning flames flew over from above their heads.

"careful!"

Then a sharp sound fell into the castle.

See clearly—

The wing sail extending across the flames is the wreckage of the wing boat.
