Act 226 The Old servant
Derek was a little absent-minded, completely unconscious, and just played with the dagger in his hand with some annoyance. Compared to walking through the forest in the middle of winter and coming to this ghost place where birds do not lay eggs to perform tasks, he cared more about his dissatisfaction in the guild in recent days.
He watched the others hunch out the old man - the other party was hunched over and looking at them with some fear. Derek suddenly felt a move in his heart and looked around.
"The elemental crystal has abnormal disturbance."
Before Derek could speak, one of them said, "Is it the Ether Wind? Or is someone using magic to detect spells?" The man turned around and ordered him, "Derek, scatter a few people out and check it out--"
Derek checked his magic furnace, felt nothing unusual, and cursed in his heart. But he didn't speak because the man was the Ranger Captain of their team.
Alisa watched the man walk in this direction from afar.
She raised her hand and signaled everyone to stop. Fang Yu turned around and asked Luo Yu with her eyes.
The elemental make extinguished the crystal on the magic wand, "The three are here, in the southwest."
Fang Yu nodded, and made a gesture of silence to the others. He took out a clockwork fairy and threw it far behind him. He raised his hand and clenched his fist.
After the yellow ball rolled on the ground for a few times, it suddenly made a slight "buzz" sound, vibrating the hinge wings and drew a bright golden arc, flying towards the sky.
The two young men hung from behind from a distance, and when they saw this scene, they couldn't help but open their eyes wide. One of them opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Yayue hurriedly covered each other's mouth.
He raised a finger and placed it on his lips. When his companions saw this scene, they understood and nodded quickly. Yayue breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the other party.
"He... he is actually a combat craftsman?" his companion asked orally.
Yayue nodded, and he looked back and was shocked in his heart - he clearly remembered that the other party was a third-level alchemist with solid basic skills and a deep attainment in ancient alchemy.
Although combat craftsmen do not know anything about craftsmen's skills, this type of person is known to be specialized in combat and is well-known to be inferior to ordinary alchemists in magic skills.
Even the Saint Selected... Ayoer doesn't know much about the Saint Selected, but he also knows that although those people grow up very quickly, they are still restricted by something called "seeing and hearing" and there is no real omnipotence.
But there is another possibility here.
Most alchemists can more or less fight the skills of craftsmen, just as combat craftsmen also know certain magic skills, maybe the other party will also control the clockwork fairy?
There are still a large number of alchemists in this world who can control clockwork fairies.
Of course, that's all the adjustments of the big guys-
Yayo himself can't do it, nor can their president.
He looked at the scene before him with his breath, feeling the legendary things shining into reality in his heart. In the past, he was just hearing, but now he saw it with his own eyes. As the golden arc rose into the sky, he raised his head and suddenly a very strong thought emerged in his heart.
He doesn't want to be a frog in the well.
He looked at his companions, and the two young men's eyes were sparkling with sparks of ambition.
You must go out to see the wider world!
Fang Yu was pulling down his goggles, closing one eye, and seeing the clockwork fairy's vision in the eyepiece was flying higher and higher - he could see the Holphin Academy and the woods surrounding it in the center.
He tapped his system with his hand, cut a picture, and then used projection crystal to display it.
Fang Yu marked several points on the picture with his hand, which was Luo Yu who described the positions of the three people on the outside to him. The details were not clear at this distance, but he could roughly distinguish the other party's profession - a shield guard, a swordsman, and a ranger.
He did not let the Clockwork Fairy drop the height because the other party was very keen. From the perception of Luo Yu's magic, he could see that these people were of high level. This reminded them that this is the first competition area—
It is the first competition area after the establishment of the Star Gate and the most legendary competition area after the establishment of the Super Competitive League.
Unlike the strength of the second division, which had a significant decline after the Battle of Covenant Hill, the first division is undoubtedly at its peak in ten years.
But Miss Nightingale was very cautious and stopped just right. The few people who came out to patrol were obviously absent-minded, and were wandering around not far away like a headless fly, without even noticed that anyone was peeping at them from this direction.
"They caught that man, the old servant of the Lynn family," the Paparals were instructed by Fang Zhu to ask the two young men, and then returned to the others and said, "Those guys seemed to be the callers."
"I also see that the logo on their battle robes is the local guild in Tagri?" Miss Nightingale agreed with the conclusion, "What did they do to capture the servants of the Lynn family?"
"Let's go over and listen to it." Fang Yu replied concisely.
He clearly felt that these people were not in good intentions, so he closed his eyes and observed the nearby terrain, and then pointed his finger at the point on the map, "Pak, you sneak into this building and occupy the commanding heights, Miss Alissa, you get close to prepare to save people..."
After experiencing so many battles, Fang Zhu is already familiar with command.
Miss Nightingale nodded when she heard this.
Although Parker was a little dissatisfied with his ordering tone, he was very satisfied with the task of silencing himself. He did not reply. He took the task and got it short and got it into the bush and disappeared from that direction.
Then Fang Yu said to the others: "Others, come with me."
Yayo and his companions also walked up at his gesture. When they heard these words, they couldn't help asking, "Mr. Ed, they have more than a dozen people, are we..."
But Fang Zhu shook his head and only signaled them to follow.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because there is a clockwork fairy monitoring overhead and there is no fighting craftsman on the other side, the group easily bypasses those people.
Not far away, there is a short red brick wall covered with parasitic plants, with yellow leaves and desolate in winter. Several people sneaked under the wall with their bodies.
This place is quite close to those people, and if you get closer, you will be worried about being discovered, but you still can't hear the other party's conversation clearly.
Fortunately, Fang Yu was ready, so he took out a crystal the size of an earring from his pocket, put it on it with his hand, and the crystal shone slightly, and then it converged.
Then he threw the crystal far away.
Such a subtle movement still attracted the attention of the other party. A ranger with a big bow on his back came over and patrolled for a few glances, but found no clues and soon walked back.
Fang Yu then took out another crystal, which was actually a pair of messaging crystals.
Seeing this, Jita immediately understood what he meant, and immediately gestured on Guriel's magic book with his hand, setting a quiet area next to everyone that was isolated from the sound.
Only then did Fang Yu inject magic into the crystal, and a sound came from the crystal:
"Old guy, you hide well. If it weren't for your good son, it would have taken a lot of effort to find you out. You should know what we are here to look for, tell me, where is the manuscript?"
But this sentence is exchanged for a long silence.
Fang Yu poked his head slightly and looked in that direction. He saw a group of people hiding the old servant of Lin En's family in the middle. Except for the few people on the outside and the ranger who had just walked over, he counted the remaining ones, just ten people.
One of them was asking the old servant, who should be the master who sent the voice in the crystal.
The old man stood among the crowd without saying a word.
Seeing this, the person who asked the question turned around and said nodded to someone beside him. Then his voice came from the crystal: "Go, go talk to him."
Fang Rong saw a middle-aged man coming out, looking submissive.
The other party hesitated for a moment before speaking: "...Father, tell them where the manuscript is good. Look at the people from the Lynn family have come back to take care of us over the years? We have been servants for them for so many years, and they only left us here to fend for themselves. Why do you suffer for those guys? How miserable did they harm everyone back then? The Principality..."
"Shut up, you beast."
The old man's heartbroken voice interrupted him, "Not to mention that I don't know where Mr. Ash's manuscript is. Even if I know, I will not tell these people. Don't think I don't know what happened back then. You were maliciously slandering behind your back, and now you are pretending to be good people? If it weren't for you, the Principal would be like this now?"
"... Father, why bother," said the middle-aged man's voice. "We did not suffer any benefits from their family, but instead suffered a lot for them. To you, they are just strangers, and I am your son."
"I am not as idle and lazy son as you," the old man's voice trembled with anger. "I gave you the last little money at the beginning, and I made it clear that since you left this place, don't come back. Now you actually bring these people to ask for Mr. Ash's relics, which is not something that belongs to you!"
"The people from the Lynn family are no longer here," the middle-aged man said angrily, "that is not something that belongs to us, and who does it belong to?"
"Bah, I don't know shame!"
"Okay," said the middle-aged man, "I came to persuade you because you and I are father and son. After all, I am not the one who wants this thing now. You have so many reasons, and I can't persuade you. Do you see if these people will listen to your reason?"
The old servant fell silent.
It was obvious that he was a little afraid of those people, but after a moment he replied: "I have already said that I do not know the whereabouts of Mr. Ash's manuscript."
Hearing this, Fang Zhu looked over there again.
He saw the person who was asking the question before approaching the old man, and knew that he had no need to listen anymore. He covered the message crystal with his hands, and the voice stopped abruptly.
Then Fang Yu turned around and spoke to the others: "Take it."
When Luo Yu heard this, he immediately raised the magic wand in his hand, murmured a few words, and pointed at the ranger.
The ranger was walking back to them, and at this moment, he was shocked when he heard the sound of breaking through the air coming from behind. She herself did not react at all, but her agile "reflex dodge" ability instinct made her dodge to the side.
Clinker Luo Yu predicted his reaction. The Ranger girl turned around and saw a beam of golden red rays coming straight towards her.
Her eyes widened.
The magic shield of the magic furnace opened with a sound of "Teng", resisting the rays for a moment. This moment finally bought a little time for the girl, and pressed the crystal embedded in the magic armor's chest.
A wind element shield with a faint green light spread out, blocking Luo Yu's spell of at least three rings.
But from reflection dodging, to opening the magic furnace shield, to activate the wind element shield on the magic armor, after the female ranger took a step back, the balance and dodging values have completely returned to zero. To have the spare energy to react, at least one breathing time is required.
Unfortunately, she didn't.
It was also at this time that, using Luo Yu's spell as a signal, the Paparals poked their heads out from the fourth floor window of a nearby building full of parasitic plants and set up heavy crossbows.
A sharp roar.
In the unwilling gaze of the ranger girl, an ordinary metal crossbow arrow penetrated her throat, causing her to lean back. Before her body fell to the ground, it had turned into a faint white spot of light and disappeared.
All this happened just when the rabbit rose and falconed. Before the other people in the woods could react, they found that their side was attacked and there was no one missing for no reason.
"Enemy attack!"
The three people on the outside responded the fastest, and two of them subconsciously moved closer to the iron guard.
Others in the woods were also alert. The iron guard immediately took off the big shield from behind, held it in his hand, and looked around vigilantly. If the others were not looking for a cover immediately, they would have moved closer to the iron guard or a profession like warriors.
Derek, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, kept ringing the alarm. Although the dead female ranger was average, he was almost wandering in the middle of the guild like him, but he disappeared without even having a single encounter.
Even sneak attacks are a bit outrageous. After all, professions such as scouts, rangers and shadow dancers are naturally good at dealing with raids. This only means that the people who attack them are of extraordinary level.
At least not inferior to them.
Derek's heart was pounding, and he swept upwards from the perspective, just to capture a line of reflection. "On the fourth floor," he screamed, "Ranger...No, Crossbow Sniper!"
But Derek regretted the moment he shouted. He recognized it as a magic crossbow and aimed at him in this direction. He shouted twice, and two crossbow arrows flew forward and backward in this direction.
Derek's heart sounded an alarm, subconsciously flew away, staring at the two flashes, his mind was running rapidly, "Search arrow, explosion arrow, or refraction arrow?"
His retreating direction was very right, and he barely avoided the first crossbow arrow.
But the moment the crossbow arrow hit the ground, it suddenly turned into countless rays of light and exploded in all directions - it was indeed a refractive arrow, and this move was the technique of all crossbow shooters and rangers above the middle level.
Derek also installed this plug-in and also used this technique to promote growth by using magic bows or crossbows, because there are thirteen rays of light that are folded out.
He only has seven paths.
Among the beams of silver radiance, each of them had half the attack power of the original crossbow arrow.
The other party is at least five or above level higher than him.
Derek immediately came to this conclusion, but he also made the right judgment. He turned around in the air and avoided every attack, then jumped and rolled behind a tree trunk.
The second crossbow arrow of the shooter predicted the direction of his dodge, but he did not predict the distance. He analyzed his only possibility of escape in just half a second, but before he could relax, he suddenly heard a muffled sound coming from behind—
"not good!"
Derek's scalp exploded as soon as he heard the unique sound.
But he had consumed all his dodge values and had no time to react - he heard a loud bang, and the bark exploded, and a crossbow arrow penetrated the trunk and shot out from his left chest, like a beam of green light penetrated into the soil ahead, sinking into the feathers.
Wind Elemental Arrow—
Penetrating the arrow.
Derek coughed out a mouthful of blood with a 'wow'.
When one encounter, one died and one was seriously injured, and everyone's scalp was numb.
"Who is there?" the person who asked the question roared loudly, but he did not dare to get up. Everyone present determined that a terrible threatening crossbow sniper was occupying the commanding heights and suppressing them.
This is the worst case scenario.
But there are obviously no other guilds around Tagri, so who dares to attack them?
The man immediately waved to the others and signaled everyone to attack in several ways. Passiveness was not a solution, and they could only be suppressed until death. They were not without experience in fighting and immediately tried to get the initiative back.
But after Parker shot two arrows, he felt a little sad about his expensive magic arrow, and he retreated, not intending to show off again.
Next, he only followed the instructions of the square pluck, then fired two cheap smoke bombs into the woods. Finally, he thought about it and put an explosion arrow on it.
At least in the Qihai Brigade, the explosion of crystals is quite cheap. Some of them are - the Paparals slightly debugged and removed the most expensive delayer on it.
Finally, I recalled the direction in my memory a little, and then pulled the trigger.
The white smoke exploded in the air, forming two clouds that spread downward.
The person who asked the question secretly said that he was not good, and he subconsciously wanted to issue an order, but suddenly realized that the smoke would cover his body, so he immediately entered the text in the team channel:
"Don't completely blow away the smoke, use the breeze to sweep a path."
But as soon as his order was issued, the magicians in the team joined together, and a crossbow arrow penetrated through the smoke and shot straight in that direction. The magician was shocked when he saw this and instinctively opened the magic shield of the magic furnace.
"Don't--" The warriors around them watched this scene very well with the better dynamic vision provided by the warrior-type plug-in and shouted.
But it was too late, and the explosion arrow hit the magician's open magic shield.
As mentioned before, the energy of the explosion crystal comes from the turbulent magic power in it, but to detonate, the shooter needs to set the time with a delayer...
But there is no delayer on the Paparal crossbow arrows.
Just as the moment the explosion crystal shattered on the magic shield, the turbulent magic power that should have been scattered was pulled by the magic power of the magic shield itself, and it directly gathered towards the magic furnace behind the magician along its magic circuit.
The magician was so scared that his face turned pale.
But I don’t know if it was the dazzling spots formed by the huge magic power gathered in his magic furnace, which turned his face white.
In short, the next moment, along with the magic furnace behind him, turned into pieces in a loud bang.
The explosion flash even penetrated the smoke, and a circular shock wave swept across, directly lifting the closest few people out.
The person who asked the question opened his mouth wide and had no time to enter the text. He shouted directly: "Protect that old thing!"
Ash's manuscript still fell on the other party-
He can't let those people kill that old guy.
The two swordsmen who were escorting the old servant also subconsciously retreated, one of them was about to open the shield - he learned from his companions' lessons, and this time he opened the shield on the magic armor.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! It was just that slowly, and the light of the shield had already lit up, blocking the old servant, blocking the waves and stones sweeping over.
The swordsman was slightly stunned, thinking that his companion was one step faster than him. He turned around and was about to say something, but suddenly he saw a bright sword light reflected in his vision.
A snow-white and slender hand reached out from behind and covered his mouth, and then the swordsman felt a slight coolness on his neck.
Then I couldn't notice anything.
Alisa squatted beside the two, wiped the blood from the daggers on their battle robes, watched the two corpses turn into white light and disappear, and then picked up the other party's lost equipment.
With the leopard in the room, Miss Nightingale looked down on these magic equipment of uneven quality, not to mention that some of them were still damaged when they were cut off from the magic furnace.
However, the recycling of equipment was requested by the group leader, and he could be sold again if it was repaired.
Then she stood up and looked at the old servant of the Lynn family.
The other party seemed to be frightened and hadn't reacted yet.
"Old man, please come with me."
The smoke had not completely dissipated. Seeing that the other party had no reaction, Alisa asked again, "Are you injured? Do you need help?"
The old man shook his head dullly.
...
"The target is saved."
Fang Yu looked at the words popping up on the light screen.
He didn't plan to participate in the battle behind him. The Paparals died and were injured when they attacked. At least three of them were killed in one move. In addition to the two swordsmen, Miss Nightingale silently killed one when she first sneaked in.
Then there are at most five people left.
Luo Yu and Ji Ta have passed, and they should be more than enough to deal with the remaining people.
After so many battles, he was of course not the only one who grew up in the Seven Seas Brigade - Luo Yu, Jita, Paparal, and even Miss Nightingale who joined the team later also passed the second-level career stage and entered the upper zone among the first world's callers.
And when Aquin was in his life, Princess Brian personally tested the combat effectiveness of their regiment. Almost everyone in the Seven Seas Brigade grew up in battles. In terms of combat experience alone, it is much richer than ordinary conscripts.
Fang Ling still remembers that when he first met Parker, the other party even stepped on the air during the battle and fell off the rock. Who would have thought that the other party could now stand alone and suppress half of the group of people alone?
The scene just now reminded him of Qin Zhi, the ranger of the Silver Forest Spear he had met. At that time, the other party also suppressed the entire group of Dawn Stars.
Of course, their opponents are far inferior to the Star of Dawn that day, but after all, they are also the candidates at level 17 or 8, close to the peak of the second-level profession.
Fang Yu thought for a moment, then sent a message to Luo Yu, telling him to leave a living if possible.
Luo Yu actually has time to reply a text message during the battle:
"good."
Fang Rong had asked the two young people from the craftsman association before, but unfortunately the other party was not familiar with the local conscripts and could not tell the origin of these people.
In fact, Yayo and his companions were completely stunned at this moment. The two of them looked at the "alchemist" in front of them, looked at the direction of the woods filled with smoke, and opened their mouths, not knowing what to say for a moment.
They never expected that the other party would take action without saying a word, although they were dealing with the caller.
But even the candidate...
"Mr. Ed..." Yayo felt that he should at least live in a peaceful era. He just subconsciously wanted to confirm this, "I, I thought you would negotiate with them first, and then..."
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
He thought about it carefully before explaining to the two, "...It seems like I did this before."
Chapter completed!
