The gray-haired man, wearing a golden mask, remained motionless, like a puppet. If he hadn't been convinced that he was the one who spoke before, Fang Yu almost thought that it would be impossible for such a person to speak on such an occasion.

"Captain!" Hongye looked at Nighthawk standing next to the man in surprise.

Nighthawk smiled slightly, lifted his hood, and underneath was the face of a young man. He looked at Fang Plover, looking casual and friendly: "We must have met in Gray Oak Square before, and the red leaves have been there since Travelers' Rest."

I've been talking about you a few times since I came back. You are indeed very powerful. Ordinary combat craftsmen don't react that quickly. Your clockwork fairy is also very well controlled."

He asked again: "If it hadn't been for the emergency in the square, would your clockwork fairy still be able to keep up with me?"

Fang Plover was a little embarrassed by the praise, but he still nodded matter-of-factly.

"sharp"

The young man smiled and then walked in with the man.

Fang Yu noticed that the man's eyes under the mask never left his side, but he did not say a word. The young man saw his eyes and said with a smile: "We listened to your conversation earlier. Please forgive me. I didn't mean to do anything."

Eavesdropping, I was just confused for a moment outside the door. Because your inference is very brilliant, almost the same. But I am still very curious. You said that we can reach the other end of the chessboard before those Dragon Worshipers.

Do it?"

Fang Yu couldn't help but look at Hongye, who nodded to him. "This is the person in charge of our operation. Everyone in the first and second regiments must obey his arrangements, including me, Ed."

But the young man did not put on airs at all because of his higher level, and took the initiative to reach out to him: "Your name is Ed, right? My ID is Memories. I am several years older than you. If you are in a good mood, you can call me Ed."

I call you big brother, and if you don’t want to, that’s okay, because maybe I can still look younger.”

As the young man spoke, he was also surprised to see such a beauty as Sylvester, but he quickly looked away politely.

What he said was joking, which dispelled the embarrassment of others, but Fang Yu's eyes still fell behind the masked man, who remained silent and didn't seem to intend to introduce himself.

When Fang Plover met his eyes, he asked lightly: "What are you going to do, young man?"

"Who is your Excellency?"

The masked man replied: "I am their employer and the initiator of this mission."

"Ah!" Even Hongye exclaimed in surprise. Apparently she had never seen this employer before.

Fang Yu was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that the mysterious employer would come to the illusion in person. He didn't know if he was here early in the morning or if he just arrived.

The former of the Memories Gang added: "Ed, your idea is very interesting. Although Mr. Employer is the initiator of this mission, he has no clue about this illusion. We want to hear your opinion. What do you think the current situation should be?"

How to break the situation?"

After listening to his words, Fang Yu regained the previously interrupted train of thought and nodded: "Back to the topic, the key to breaking the illusion lies in Dolifen's three objects."

"Dollifen's three things?" Hongye looked a little surprised: "We still have to snatch them back from the Dragon Cult?"

Fang Yu shook his head: "That's not the case. What I want to say is another thing."

"another thing?"

"We all know that the three phantoms corresponding to Dolifen's three objects should be the most important fragments of the disaster that happened in Dolifen more than thirty years ago. But have you ever tried to sort them out?

Order?"

"In order?" Memories frowned: "Many people have tried to sort it out, but the order is really confusing, and no one has a clue."

Fang Yu replied: "That's because other people don't know much about the root of everything behind it. But we are different. We can deduce the process from the results, because we now all know what happened to Dolifen thirty years ago.

The dark dragon Nicol Bolas was resurrected here, but due to some reasons he was not able to complete his work, and eventually lost the Dragon's Golden Eyes here."

"Indeed." Everyone nodded in confusion.

"Then let's take a look at the events in the three phantoms. The key prop in the first phantom is the martyrdom mark of the loyal. The mission scene is to escort a lady to leave Ms. Vineleaf's Inn and leave at the Fisherman's Crossing;

The key item in the two phantoms is the Blade of False Victory, and the mission scene is to defeat the Shadow of the Past, which is actually the shadow of Nicol Bolas; the key item in the third phantom is the Arrogance Scepter of the Ignorant, and the mission

The scene is right here, defeat the leader of the undead here." Fang Plover pointed at the dead bones next to the planetary device and said.

Everyone was a little silent, seemingly lost in thought.

Fang Yu continued: "As we all know, the other side of the Fisherman's Crossing is the road leading to the ruins. Of course, it may not have been called this name before, but one thing cannot be changed, that is, that road is the road out of the city. In other words,

If we follow the usual order of Dolifen's three-object mission, we can conclude that what happened thirty years ago is like this."

"First, we escorted a woman out of Doliphon. Then, there was a fight in Gray Oak Square. And finally, we came to the town hall, where we killed a man."

"To enrich the details, we assume that after escorting the lady away, we headed to the Gray Oak Square to prevent Nicol Bolas from being resurrected. It's just that the person who witnessed it thirty years ago ended up being late, so we had to contact Nicol Bolas.

But the Shadow of Bolas fights."

"It's very possible, but what's the problem with that?" recalls asking.

Fang Yu replied: "The problem is that the process does not correspond to the result. The disaster that happened in Dolifen thirty years ago actually refers to the resurrection of the dark dragon Nicol Bolas. The first scene has too few clues.

Let’s leave it aside, what prompted the witness that day to go to the city hall to kill another person after the battle with Nicol Bolas? This makes no logical sense.”

Hongye frowned and asked, "Maybe they have their reasons. There is too much missing information between scenes, and your inference may not be accurate."

But Fang Yu shook his head slightly: "Before leaving Gray Oak Square, I was not sure about this. Until I found evidence from another side that confirmed my idea."

"Side evidence?" Hongye was a little confused.

"You may wish to carefully recall the scenes of the three missions. Although I have not experienced some of them personally, I can also find the problem based on other people's descriptions."

Jita was the first to react. Recalling what she saw and heard in Gray Oak Square, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "By the way, a celebration!"

Others looked at the two people with some confusion.

And Fang Yu had already cast an approving look at the little girl. "Yes, before the battle in Gray Oak Square, the scene shown was Dolliffin obviously preparing for a grand celebration. But the illusion of Ms. Fujiye's Inn

That's not the case. Do you still remember the sea of ​​fire you saw in your dream?"

When he said these words, the firelight from the sky was actually reflecting on his face, as solemn as a prophet.

"So it can be confirmed that the scene at Ms. Vineleaf's Inn must be later than the battle at Gray Oak Square. The dislocation of time and space is the key clue hidden behind all these mysteries."

Only then did everyone look suddenly enlightened.

Especially when recalling, the young man looked at Fang Plover with a little surprise: "You even noticed this."

"What about here?" Tian Lan couldn't help but ask.

I don't know why, but when this question was mentioned, the first thing that came to Fang Pliover's mind was the shadow of the girl named Xisi.

He sighed and said: "Actually, there is already an answer, isn't it?"

"Wait, what's the answer?" Tian Lan still looked confused.

"The fire will only reach the Lower City"

"So the scene in the city hall was before Gray Oak Square." Hongye replied solemnly.

Tianlan was stunned for a moment before she realized: "So, the order is actually reversed?"

Memories also nodded: "That makes sense. Although I still don't know what happened in the city hall. But after the battle with Nicol Bolas, I failed to prevent the resurrection of the dark dragon, and Dolifen fell into a sea of ​​fire.

The lady they escorted away at the end must have some key secret hidden in her body."

Tian Lan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed after hearing this, "Oh my god, Brother Ed, how did you notice this? Why didn't I think at all, am I not really suitable for taking risks?"

Fang Yu shook his head: "Don't think so, Tianlan. Everyone is good at different fields, I just pay more attention to these things. The experience of the tasks described in the community also gave me a lot of tips.

"

The little French girl breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Hong Ye frowned and said: "In other words, the task of the followers of the Dragon Worship Cult is to liberate the Dragon's Golden Eyes after completing this reverse process in order? And what we have to do is to find the real order,

And activate the task?"

Fang Plover nodded.

"There is a question, Brother Ed," Jita asked at this time: "The normal process in the illusion has been completed countless times by countless people in the past. If our judgment is accurate, Nicol Bolas should

He has already been resurrected, right?"

The memory also added: "That's true. And many people have tried to trigger the task from the city hall, but with no results. The task here seems to have to be triggered after getting the Blade of False Victory, just like Gray Oak

The scene in the square will only appear the same after the mark of martyrdom of the faithful is taken away."

But Fang Yu shook his head.

Hongye looked at him a little strangely.

"Do you know about the chessboard?" Fang Plover said slowly: "The soldiers on the chessboard, after reaching the bottom line, will become the 'queen' that can influence the chess game. In terminology, people call this promotion."

"And we are like such soldiers in this chess game. The reason why people have never been able to complete this endgame that has lasted for thirty years is because they have never found the real bottom line of the chess board."

When Fang Yu said this, he deliberately stopped for a moment.

He seemed to be sorting out his thoughts, and also seemed to be thinking about where the key in the mist was.

Then he replied softly: "So in Dolifen's illusion, there are actually four scenes. Not three as people think."

"So, the name of this illusion should be Dolifen's Four Things, not Three Things."

"What?" His words surprised everyone.

Memories also asked with some uncertainty: "Ed, do you have any basis for saying that?"

Fang Yu nodded: "The basis actually comes from a simple logic."
