Fang Zhu drank the cup of elf tears in one go, but he actually couldn't drink and couldn't help coughing immediately.

Silvede quickly patted his back.

"This is your key. The room is on the second floor. Go to the right along the exit of the stairs. There are six rooms in total," the owner of the hotel looked at it, shook his head, took out a key ring from the counter, placed it in front of the two of them, and said, "There are fewer adventurers in the North nowadays, one month earlier, and you may not be able to find so many empty rooms."

Silvede took the key and smiled at the other party, "It seems that we are lucky, but don't worry. I believe that after winter, this forest will be revived again."

"Thank you good words, ma'am."

The two of them returned to the hall.

The guests whispered in groups of three or three, and the adventurers were wearing long cloaks that could resist the severe cold, and even the natives were wearing coats that could cover half of their faces. The dim hall seemed to be conducting a mysterious transaction.

The gap between the wooden table and the wooden table was twisted and turns, and the dark red stove was flashing. The flames dragged the narrow shadows of the table feet and the feet of the chair, and stretched between the uneven stone slab floors. The others found an inconspicuous place in a corner of the hall and stayed here. When they saw the two of them coming, they quickly gave them a seat.

Fang Yu pulled the chair away first and asked Silvede to sit down first. The noble lady turned around and smiled at him.

Then Fang Yu pulled open the chair himself and sat down beside her. Luo Hao sat on the other side. The fat man from the military was not sitting and putting half of his body on the table. There were a few light windows with unclear content in front of him. The cool and shiny light illuminated the other party's chubby face.

Luo Hao saw Fang Yu sit down, then straightened up, pointed to the light windows with his fingers and said, "You are here just right, I probably figured out the origin of that 'Shrine'."

"Tell me, look."

"The predecessor of this 'Sanctuary' was an autonomous organization called 'Crow Claw Guard'. In the past, it was once active in the area around Charter City."

“Autonomy?”

Luo Hao nodded, "The traveler swamp in the north of Charter City invaded the Egonne Forest. This place is a common area where wild animals and strange monsters appear. Because Charter City's military power is not enough to protect the countryside, various autonomous organizations emerged, among which the Crow Claw Guard is one of them."

Tianlan interrupted at this time, "But I heard that Charter City is one of the four major cities in the north, Rodell, Elpaxin, Charter City and Gula Port. Is such a big city not enough to protect its surrounding countryside?"

Silvede smiled and said, "It would not be so in theory, but the endless internal strife of the kingdom has weakened its local power. In this case, people living in the countryside can only seek to protect themselves. Such autonomous forces are not uncommon in the North, and I have heard of some in the past, but this 'Crow Claw Guard' is the first time I heard of it."

Fang Zhu signaled Luo Hao to continue.

The dim fire of the candles on the tray of a three-fork candlestick provides all the lighting on the table. The dim fire reflected everyone's face. Tianlan and Jita were attentive when they heard it. Parker was absent-minded. Luo Yu lowered his head and thought about his thoughts. The box was picked from the spoon from the peas.

Ai Xiaoxiao was holding a cup in her hands and drinking water, revealing her curious eyes outside. Although she had been joining the Qihai Brigade for a while, she was still rare to take risks with everyone.

Miss May sat quietly in her seat and enjoyed lunch quietly. She slowly separated the bread, dipped it in water, and swallowed it slowly in small mouthfuls.

Miss Knight seemed to have no complaints about the hardships and looked calm.

There were three wooden plates in front of Fang Zhu, which contained a few slices of black bread, a small piece of smoked fish, a glass of wine, a plate of mashed potatoes and peas. This lunch was nothing more, and it seemed that the town was in short supply. Fang Zhu picked up a piece of black bread and chewed it in his mouth, frowned, and it hurt toothache.

He turned around and saw Silmide looking at the lunch in front of him helplessly, looking a little embarrassed. She was not a very picky person, but she really didn't know how long the bread had been stored, and it was a bit outrageous.

Fang Zhu gently picked up the wooden plate in front of the other side, and then replaced his mashed potatoes.

Silvede looked up and glanced at him a little surprised.

Fang Yu scratched his head: "... Actually, I like this bread quite a bit, we'll eat it in a different way."

Silvede blinked, his eyes full of smiles, and he nodded his head slightly.

Luo Hao looked at the two of them with affectionate looks, feeling a critical hit of 10,000 yuan, and couldn't help saying, "I said, can you care about the feeling of a single dog?"

"Luo Hao, if you can lose weight, I think there will be a girl who likes you."

“I feel offended.”

He was heartbroken, and Luo Hao had no choice but to change the topic: "Let's go back to the main topic. Although it was because of the royal struggle, the contraction of the aristocratic power in Elpaxin and Charter City that gave these local autonomous forces room for growth. However, what really promoted the rise of the Crow Claw Guard was what happened later."

Fang Yu immediately reacted: "I guess it was something that happened in Charter City."

Luo Hao gave him a thumbs up: "Smart, after Nico Polas destroyed Charter City, Taren's north was once in a chaotic situation. Many local armed forces died under the invasion of dragon beasts, but only the Crow Claw Guard emerged and became the most well-known autonomous organization in the local area."

Fang Zhu put down the hard bread, which was a little surprised: "After the invasion of the dragon beast?"

He had seen the strength of those knights in the square, but to be honest, a little weak.

“…How did they do it?”

Luo Hao replied: "Actually nothing, it's just that the Crow Claw Guard is the strongest among all these autonomous organizations."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The strongest strength?"

Fang Yu almost thought he had heard it wrong.

"Yes, the strongest," Luo Hao nodded, "According to the information I found, the Crow Claw Guard has a strict organization, divided into four-level organizational structures from top to bottom. The highest is the Son of the Raven, followed by the Guardian, the Controller and the Grey Knight."

"The Raven Son is also his only leader, but he has almost never appeared outside. Only from the communications of the lower level of the Claw Guard, we can learn that there is such a person. The four guards all obeyed him directly, and the outside world also called these four guards the gray feathers - because they had gray crow feathers as marks. Further down, there is the pastor named the controller, which is their internal title, but in fact it is a bit similar to the clergy of the regional bishop. Generally speaking, there will be at least one in each village, and one in the Gray Owl Town, code-named Storm. Each pastor is followed by a number of gray knights, and these knights are roughly divided into third-level, the highest-level one is called the Crow Knight, the middle-level one is called the Feather Knight, and the lowest-level one is called the Claw Knight - that is, those we saw in the square before."

When Tata heard the name of Raven Son, he couldn't help but raise his head.

Fang Zhu also frowned slightly.

Only then did he realize that this organization seemed to be much stronger than he thought.

If the knights before were just the most basic combat power of this organization, in the Beitarun area, at least the Silver Forest Spear must not be at this level. Think about it carefully, when he first met Wu Di and Liu Liyue, how high was the other party? Anyway, there must be no level 156.

But there was such a powerful autonomous organization near Charter City. He had never heard of it before, which was a bit incredible no matter what.

"This organization used to be called Crow Claw Guard. Have anyone heard of this name?"

Luo Hao shook his head.

Fang Yu looked at the others again, and the others shook their heads - even including Ji Ta.

This is a bit interesting. Like the Spear of Silver Forest, the Oak Knights of Tapolis are also the North Guild, and Jita is also a naturalist. She has never even heard of it. This is really incredible.

At this time, Luo Hao said again: "But in fact, there have been many discussions about them in the communities of Gula Port, Elpaxin and Charter City recently, and they can be seen casually. But I checked it and found that most of these discussions started half a year ago, which means that they should not have a reputation before that."

He looked at Jita, "I guess that's probably why we haven't heard of this organization at all--"

Fang Yum silently estimated the time.

"So after the fall of Charter City, this organization rose rapidly?"

"Let me correct it," Luo Hao replied: "To be precise, it should not be called rise. It should be as dazzling as a meteor across the sky, which attracted everyone's attention almost immediately."

Fang Yu had never heard of such a bizarre thing, but he still thought of two possibilities.

First, this organization has been hiding its strength in the past.

Second, it suddenly received support from a certain force behind it, and this force must continuously provide sufficient manpower and material resources to enable it to quickly gain its current strength in a short period of time.

And in the entire Taron, there are actually not many forces with such strength.

Of course the first possibility is almost certainly slim-

As for the second possibility, you can get the answer by using the exclusion method.

Silver Forest Spear itself is definitely not good, but the Rainbow Alliance behind it has this strength.

Similarly, Flor's descendants can do it.

In addition to the two giants of the Northern Selector Power, among the power of the indigenous people, Elpaxin's Craftsman Association, the Silver Wind Knights or the Consul should all have this strength.

But for these parties, what are the benefits of supporting such a force?

Therefore, we must first eliminate the Rainbow Alliance, because North Talun was originally the sphere of influence of the Rainbow Alliance, and they did not seem to have to make so many such moves. Secondly, the Flores, although the Flores had this motivation - for example, to cultivate a force of their own within the sphere of influence of the mortal enemy.

But Fang Yu suddenly remembered that the person who had seen the Silver Forest Spear in the square not long ago, it seemed that the Silver Forest Spear should have cooperated with those knights. At least, both sides should not be in the enemy's relationship.

Fang Yu did not think that the Rainbow Alliance would be fooled by the Floress, so this possibility could be roughly ruled out.

Is Elpaxin's power the rest?

But the Silver Wind Knights and the City Guards belonging to the prime minister's side checked and balanced each other. The two joined forces to monitor the Craftsmen Association and put the adult under house arrest in the city. None of these parties seemed to have a chance to take action.

Besides, he couldn't think of the need for these forces from Elpaxin to set up such a game.

Unless it is the adult himself...

When Fang Ling thought of the situation in Elpaxin, she couldn't help but think of His Highness, the prince who was under house arrest in Elpaxin.

Since the new king ascended the throne, Yu Fan has been dragged by the prime minister's party to Elpahin with excuses, but the south is his basic position. Will he want to rush to leave North Talun?

Under such circumstances, muddling the waters in Taren's north seemed to be helpful to the prince's escape from this place. But what Fang Ling couldn't understand was that the other party had been under house arrest under Elpaxin, under the strict guard of the Silver Wind Knights.

Does he really have this ability?

Reason told Fang Yu that he could not, but when he thought of the rumors about this adult in the past, it was difficult for him to be sure of it for a moment.

Some people in this world are called heroes, but some people's experiences are more legendary than heroes.

Even heroes must obey their orders—

Fang Ling had heard it with his own ears that Princess Brian said he owed the prince a favor. What's more, the last time, His Highness and Silvede also successfully passed the news from Elpaxin, which seemed to indicate that His Highness the Prince was not ignorant of the outside world in Elpaxin?

"Speaking of this, how do the callers and Aboriginal forces near Taren view the rise of the Crow Claw Guard?"

Jita suddenly spoke at this time.

"The North is the traditional sphere of influence of the Rainbow Alliance, and Elpaxin and Gula Port also have their own interests. Even if there is a power vacuum after the destruction of Charter City, other local forces may not be happy to see an emerging force appear under their noses?"

"But strangely," the naturalist Miss said a little confused: "It seems that the Silver Forest Spear is getting along well with those knights. What exactly happened here? Gula Port is close to the heartland area controlled by the Rainbow Alliance. How could they watch the Crow Claw Guards exert their influence in this area?"

"I know a little about this." Luo Hao replied, "This starts with the previous trial. This is actually one of the reasons why the Crow Claw Temple has developed to this level today. After the fall of Charter City, some creatures called Shadowmen appeared in various places in Taren-"

When Fang Yu heard the word "Shadowman", he couldn't help but look up. He had just heard of this term from the hotel owner, but he didn't expect to discuss this creature immediately.
