Regarding what Archbishop Mahan said, Fang Linyan knew that he had tried his best, so he could only shrug his shoulders to express his approval. Fortunately, Archbishop Mahan also knew that these guardians were powerful, so he still tried his best to help. If we form a good relationship now, it would be inevitable in the future.
When requests come to them.
So before leaving, Archbishop Mahan sent Fang Linyan directly to the gate of the Holy See, and then whispered after leaving the church:
"I have a friend who has stayed in the Holy City for almost thirty years. He said that there is a place here where you can get anything as long as you are willing to spend money. Maybe the Guardian can go and have a look."
Fang Linyan's heart moved. He also knew very well the truth that when the water is clear, there will be no fish.
A place like the Holy City may seem amazing, but where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Maybe the high-ranking Pope, Godson, Holy Son and the like can keep themselves clean, but they cannot exist independently in this society.
Who doesn’t have relatives, friends, or family members? The world is not black and white, and those gray areas must exist!
Not even the God of Order can prevent this kind of thing.
Therefore, Fang Linyan nodded with understanding, and then said:
"Where?"
Archbishop Mahan handed over a sign in private. It was just a seemingly ordinary wooden sign. On the front, there was a pattern of iris flowers, which was painted very vividly with just a few strokes. On the back, there was a crow standing on a branch.
Not only that, if you smell it carefully, you will find that this wooden sign exudes a faint fresh smell, which is somewhat like the smell of camphor tree, but the smell is lighter.
"Just walk five kilometers along the avenue in front and you will see the Rava River. There are many leading boats with curved bows parked on it. You can board the boats to eat, have fun, play cards, poker, etc.
A series of fun activities.”
"Find a leading ship with a red pennant, then say it's here to see Henry, and then show him the sign. By the way, remember to go after dark."
Fang Linyan nodded, and then chose to leave the Holy See. However, with his current identity and status, of course there was a dedicated service person who directly used the royal carriage and sent him to the most luxurious hotel nearby.

It was still some time before dark. Standing on the balcony of the room, watching the people coming and going below, Fang Linyan felt lonely and lonely in his heart.
He doesn't want to join up with his teammates yet, because they are all immersed in the joy of mentioning the artifact, but Fang Linyan is not happy at all now:
First, I feel that my teammates have fallen into the consumption trap of space.
Secondly, since he possesses Freddy's artifact, he has to maintain a sense of crisis at all times, fearing that if he relaxes, he will be dragged into a nightmare from which he will be unable to extricate himself.
The key is that these things cannot be shared with others. Are you going to badmouth your teammates now and say that if you change to a magical weapon, you will be trapped until you die here? The teammates may not say anything on the surface, but they are probably very unhappy in their hearts.
of.
Fortunately, Fang Linyan now has Omi as someone to talk to, and finally has a channel to vent. But the problem is that complaints are complaints. Omi has to drag Freddy's clone with him, and there is no way to help Fang Linyan share the burden, so Fang Linyan's
The pressure is still very high.
And this is the awesome thing about Freddy and even all Chaos Nightmare creatures. They are not afraid of you at all! No matter how strong your team is, no matter how many troops you have, you can always find an opportunity to defeat each of you.
.
Unless there is careful preparation, it is possible to achieve a situation where more people fight less. For example, Fang Linyan teamed up with Omi to torture Freddy's clone before. However, this situation is really too rare. The conditions are very harsh and almost impossible.
was achieved.
When the crested birds flew across the sky one by one, lighting up the magic lamps on the street with flames in their mouths, Fang Linyan directly activated his invisibility and walked out of the room. The streets were already crowded with people, and everyone was making noises.
Dress up.
Only then did Fang Linyan know that today is the Dawn Festival in the Holy City, which is similar to Christmas on earth. Although many women and children's faces were red from the cold, their eyes showed excitement and hope for the future.
yearning and expectations.
Such a festive atmosphere could not help but infect Fang Linyan. He walked slowly and when he came to the bridge across the Lava River, he found a crested bird falling to the ground in front of him. A group of people were watching fiercely, and
It also made a "click-click" sound.
Out of curiosity, Fang Linyan took a closer look and realized that the crested bird was just extraordinarily delicately made. In fact, it was still an alchemical creation. It was composed of many complex gear components inside. There was also a smell of burnt plastic in the air.
The guy who designed and made the crested bird should be a master, and the adjustment is first-rate. The bird's flight posture is soaring in the air, and it is no different from the real bird. Even an expert like Fang Linyan has been concealed, so that he feels that it is a bird.
It should be domesticated.
Fang Linyan looked at it carefully for a while and found that there was nothing unique about its mechanical structure. The technical difficulty should lie in the materials for making the flapping wings and the alchemy core that replaces the computer chip. This thing cannot be seen from the side, even if it is disassembled.
Nothing can be found through research.
Because this thing requires a series of complete knowledge and manufacturing system support, just like if you throw a disassembled Huawei mobile phone to a great magician to study, the latter is also confused and estimates that he will study for decades.
No clue either.
After confirming that he could not understand, Fang Linyan went up the bridge to a high place. There were also a lot of people here, and most of them were couples.
Fang Linyan soon understood the reason. There were fireworks blooming in the sky not far away, and there should be elements of magic in them, so they were very gorgeous and magnificent. The bright light spread all over the sky at every turn, which was amazing.
Overlooking the Rava River from the bridge, you can see many unique dragon-headed boats. Some are docked on the shore, and some are already passing through the river. It should be that guests requested a location where they can watch the fireworks.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, and Fang Linyan was too lazy to look for it one by one. He directly released the drone and flew down to help search. As a result, he quickly found the target.
But then the problem appeared again. There were two leading ships with triangular red flags. Fang Linyan was a little helpless now. Fortunately, the trial and error cost of this matter was not high, so he just asked them one by one.
Fang Linyan was rejected immediately on the first ship. Fortunately, the clerk who received him was also polite and said that the boss on the ship was out for business today and would not receive guests. Fang Linyan also doubted the excuse for confidentiality, so he said
Looking for Henry.
As a result, the clerk admitted that although there was a man named Henry here, he left more than a year ago.
After hearing this, Fang Linyan went to the second house, reported Henry's name and invited him in. After a while, Henry came out to receive him.
And it immediately made Fang Linyan's eyes light up. It turned out that Henry was a woman wearing a black fox fur.
She wears a raven head-shaped ornament around her neck. She looks to be in her thirties and has average appearance, but she has a hot figure, thick lips, and lake-green pupils. Her figure and appearance are somewhat similar to the NBA's best defensive player card.
Dai Shan, combined together actually has a unique exotic charm.
Fang Linyan said straight to the point:
"I want to buy some rare goods."
Henry glanced at Fang Linyan, smiled but said nothing.
Fang Linyan took out the wooden sign handed over by Archbishop Mahan. After seeing this thing, Henry said slowly:
"What do you want to buy?"
Fang Linyan said:
"Gyro of Order."
After hearing this, Henry frowned and said:
"This thing is very popular now, and I'm not sure whether it will appear on the market next time."
Fang Linyan thought for a while and said:
"So when is the next market open?"
Henry sat down on the stool next to him:
"Tomorrow morning from four to five o'clock."
After hearing this, Fang Linyan was immediately surprised and said:
"So early?"
Henry picked up a lady's cigarette, lit it, smoked it slowly, and then said slowly:
"Since this is your first time here, let me explain that the time and location of the black market are all decided at short notice."
"Every hour, 24 hours a day, it may be selected for a meeting, and the location will be chosen from dozens of places. Even I, myself, only know the time of the meeting, but I am completely at a loss as to where it will be held.
"
"So, if you plan to participate, bring this token and place it with the crow side facing downwards. We will naturally have a way to notify you when the time comes."
As Henry spoke, he turned over the wooden sign, took out a stick of lipstick from his arms, and put a few dots on the crow's eyes.
Immediately, the crow's eyes turned red, adding a bit of a strange aura, and a hint of a faint smile appeared at the corner of its mouth, which was full of humanity.
After Fang Linyan took the sign, he nodded silently and left directly. After getting off the boat, he looked back.
I don't know why, but after leaving the ship, Fang Linyan always felt a bit of discomfort lingering in his heart. It's hard to describe that feeling appropriately.
It's like you put on a brand new pair of limited edition AJs, and it took you half a year of hard work to get it, but half an hour after putting it on, the upper of the shoe cracked.
***
Three hours later,
Fang Linyan, who was working on parts processing at his desk, suddenly turned around, and the focus of his eyes finally stopped on the gorgeous mahogany desk. He could clearly feel some changes, but he couldn't tell where the specific changes were at the moment.
Fang Linyan stood up, walked over suspiciously, and finally picked up the wooden token.
This thing was made with the crow side underneath as Henry said. When I picked it up, I found that the red eyes of the crow were gone, and the illusion of a crow actually appeared from the top of the sign.
The phantom crow flapped its wings and circled around the room, then turned back and blew out a cloud of smoke from its mouth, which quickly formed writing:
"If you want to join the night market, come with me."
Then, it flapped its wings and flew out of the window, and Fang Linyan suddenly suffocated:
"Damn it, this is the 18th floor!"
"And I remember that this is a floor-to-ceiling window, and there are no windows that can be opened at all?"
So Fang Linyan took three steps at a time to reach the window, and found that there was indeed a transparent floor-to-ceiling window with a thickness of one centimeter in front of him, so it was impossible for him to follow it.
However, when Fang Linyan cast his gaze downwards, he realized that this phantom crow was hovering and waiting at the door of the hotel lobby, and there seemed to be a string above his head. Countdown?
Fortunately, the countdown is quite generous: nine minutes and forty-seven seconds.
As for the crow's concealment, needless to say, just two meters in front of it, a group of guests walked into the hotel talking and laughing, without even looking at the phantom crow that was parked in mid-air.
Such an effect suddenly reminded Fang Linyan of something, something that made his breathing and heartbeat quicken. How did this phantom crow avoid the detection of others?
In most cases, it is an illusion, but ordinary people cannot see it. Instead, a magician with the "eye of truth", or an alchemist with a manifesting potion, can see it.
However, there is still a small possibility that it is not an illusion!
Just like the most habitual method used in space, it is projected directly on the retina of the space warrior. In this way, this thing is equivalent to Fang Linyan's exclusive existence, and no one else can see this thing anyway.
But such a method is equivalent to directly affecting Fang Linyan's brain, and then affecting his optic nerve to make him see an illusion. This method can already be compared with the power of space!
Fang Linyan squinted his eyes and decisively started asking for help:
"Come out, Lao Mo, I want to know some information about the crow in front of me and how it appeared in front of me."
Mobius Mark:
"71 points Bisca data stream, thank you for your patronage."
Fang Linyan was stunned, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"Okay, suddenly I don't want to know the answer."
Then, Fang Linyan's eyes became more solemn when he looked at the crow.
Soon, Fang Linyan arrived at the door of the hotel, and under his gaze, the crow fluttered its wings and took off, then landed somewhere in front and waited for him, but this time the time given to him was not as long as ten minutes.
Already.
At this time, Fang Linyan also realized something:
"Didn't that Henry say that the black market would be held at four or five in the morning? It's just before 12 o'clock in the evening, and she doesn't look very reliable."
After walking for about ten minutes, the crow stopped in front of a magnificent and towering building. At this time, Fang Linyan looked at the surrounding environment and almost cursed. This is a place he has been to before.
