"It was originally because of a failed mission, an escort mission, led by the president - the new president, the candidate elected by the top leaders of the guild. You don't know this person. This person was originally the leader of the Third Regiment, and the leader of the First and Second Regiment followed Yugudora and the others, leaving him alone. They acted with the people of the Silver Wind Knights. The escort team was attacked by the Shadowman, and no one survived, the thing was lost, and the mission was declared failure."

"The guild was then trapped in endless nightmare. The employer of the mission was a big shot of Elpaxin. It is said that the domestic super sports league has been trying to get the favor of this indigenous senior management, so it sent a team of investigations to investigate the reasons for the failure of the mission. However, the investigation did not make any progress. The person in charge was just a typical alliance bureaucrat with no ability. In fact, it was just a questioning our guild."

"The Guild's life was very difficult during that period, but fortunately there were people from the Rainbow League to help. After all, we joined them, so they couldn't watch us get unlucky. But they didn't feel good about it, they were just warning the Super Sports League not to break the river."

After walking down the stairs, the dark corridor ahead seemed extremely long and had no end. Apart from the sound of Sand Night, people only walked silently. The rangers walked in front, no one raised the fire, and everyone seemed to have walked this road countless times. There was no light in the darkness, only a light and rustling footsteps were left.

Among these footsteps, Fang Yu could easily distinguish his own footsteps, because unlike the light steps of the rangers, it seemed the most bulky. But there was another step heavier than him, which came from the direction of the maid.

"If you think the road is difficult to walk, you can grab my hand, Mr. Ed." Saye suddenly stopped and said, "We have already remembered this road in our hearts, forming a conditioned reflex. Instead of raising fire, it is safer. But you may not be used to it, but there is actually no danger here."

I don't know if it was an illusion. There was no slight light underground, but he could vaguely see the outline of the corridor - just like in the underground of Idus, the power given by the Dragon King Zhixin seemed to gradually come back after a long period of silence.

Fang Zhu vaguely realized that this might be related to the rekindling of the ring of golden flames, and Nico Polas's power returned to him, so the Dragon King's heart seemed to have gained nutrients again. But it is difficult to say whether this is good or bad for a while.

But in the darkness, in addition to the unchanging corridor, there were two sharp eyes falling on him from Xie Shita.

He thought for a moment and shook his head rationally - since he could see clearly, he didn't need to take advantage of others. And holding the stranger's hand made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Saye did not comment on his choice and continued: "But the turning point came soon after, rumors appeared on the market that were unfavorable to our guild, spreading rumors that we had contact with the Dragon Fire Guild who disappeared a year ago; this statement is true or not false. The Dragon Fire Guild is active in the North. If the normal transactions and communication between the guilds are also considered to be in contact, then the guilds and organizations that have nothing to do with them almost do not exist in the North-"

"But the officials of that alliance believed this statement. He appointed a high-level knight from the Crow Claw Temple to investigate us. This kind of investigation was nothing. He was upright and was not afraid of being slanted. If our guild was implicated in the incident of the Dragon Fire Guild, none of the other guilds in the North were innocent. Others knew this, so no one took this matter seriously. Even the people of the Rainbow Alliance probably thought that this official either had no knowledge of the affairs of Aitalia or had a problem with his brain."

"But the trouble is due to the person he appointed. The high-level knight of the Crow Claw Temple had a holiday with us. He seized this handle and began to make things difficult for us in all aspects and asked our people to cooperate with their investigation. Although the Crow Claw Temple seems to be just an indigenous organization in our opinion, behind this person is a super competitive alliance. In order not to cause trouble, the guild tried his best to meet his requirements. However, most of the people sent out to receive the inquiries went away and were placed under house arrest by the people of the Crow Claw Temple."

"This kind of practice has certainly angered us. In the absence of reason, neither the indigenous people nor the conveners should be restricted. This is a blatant violation of the Stargate Declaration. The top leaders of the guild directly poked the other party's practice to the Rainbow Alliance, but at this time something happened that none of us expected-"

This is the first time that Sha Ye mentioned the reason for their conflict with the Crow Claw Temple. Fang Yu can imagine that what happened next must be crucial, and it may even be the reason for their current situation. But the other party's tone was still as plain as if it was boiled water, as if he was reading a boring article.

"...I don't know what kind of evidence the other party has, our president escaped, the one I mentioned to you at the beginning. They grabbed him in the wilderness and retrieved the lost goods from Elpaxin in his hand. Under the questioning, this person confessed most of the people in our guild. Then these people were arrested and readily admitted that they had an affair with the Dragon Berliners-"

Fang Yu was stunned when he heard this. It sounded like a story that could not guess the ending. The official who was originally meant to be mediocre and incompetent actually became a hero with a gaze of a torch. He had outstanding abilities and immediately grabbed the tail of the inner demon.

He himself had dealt with the dark believers, and of course he knew how difficult it was to identify these people when they pretended to be ordinary people. The betrayal of Achilles next to Princess Istaniya still made him feel a little unexpected.

The officials of the alliance are so smart and capable, but it seems to be somewhat inconsistent with his perception.

Saya stopped and was silent for a long time for the first time. "Whether you believe it or not, I am also a middle and senior guild, but I have never heard of those facts, and I still don't believe Tapolis will have an affair with the Dragon Bergian Cult. But as more and more people were arrested, others could not stay out of the matter. We received orders from the guild in Idris at that time, and we were not sure what happened. But as soon as we arrived in the northern border, most of the people were controlled."

"Only Xiaokong and Livert escaped. You should have met Livert in Idris, who is the leader of Xiaokong. We never believed that the Guild Association was like the Dragon Fire Guild, and was involved in the Dragon Beggar incident so deeply, so we have been actively investigating the truth of the entire incident. But just when our investigation was progressing, we once again touched something that should not be touched. In that place, the shadow man emerged like a flame from the ground, and all of us were injured. I died once, and Xiaokong escaped with the others."

"But the matter was not over. Shortly after that, when we tried to gather people again, the spies of the Crow Claw Temple - the bounty hunters, discovered us. In the subsequent encirclement, Xiaokong and Livert were arrested, leaving me alone to escape. Later, I had been planning near the town of Gray Owl and met my current companions. The Crow Claw Temple captured many people and imprisoned these people with Xiaokong and others in the dungeon of a manor."

She stopped: "To find the location of the dungeon, we rescued a group of people from the judgment field yesterday, among which the prisoners were imprisoned in that place. After they had the exact information, we launched an attack on that place and rescued the people before the people in the Crow Claw Temple reacted."

Fang Yu suddenly realized.

As expected, as they guessed, these people robbed the judgment site in order to get first-hand information about the manor. That's why they launched an attack today and made a move, and the whole operation was even clean and neat.

It is just a bit strange that the Crow Claw Temple has risen so quickly that there should be a group of smart and capable people behind it, but their performance is much slower than they thought, and even earlier today, the town of Gray Owl did not have much martial law.

Or is this organization expanding too quickly and becomes a little too big to fall off?

He thought about it for a while, but finally did not ask the question.

After all, they only inferred the cause and effect after all this happened, which was quite hindsight. When hijacking the judgment site, who would guess that the other party would be so bold? In the eyes of the Crow Claw Temple, the other party might be just a group of stray dogs. Who would have thought that this stray dog ​​would bite him and dared to bite the second bite immediately?

It is this opposite thinking that catches the other party off guard.

Fang Yu looked at the rangers walking in front and asked, "Are they?" He already understood that these people were indeed not from the Oak Knights, but how could they fight against the people of the Crow Claw Temple with Sadhana? If Sadhana was because of Tapolis' own affairs, why were these people?

Saya also looked at his companions: "They are refugees."

"refugee?"

"Examples such as Tapolis are not uncommon in the North, but we are the only guilds within the two major alliances to be used for surgery. In order to combat dissidents, the Crow Claw Temple split many guilds and organizations in the North, forcing these small guilds to join the Temple, or the Rainbow Alliance, Flor's descendants - depending on whether you are an indigenous or a convener."

"With the support of the Super Athletic League, most small guilds have no room for resistance. The Rainbow League and Flor's descendants are more happy to see it. You should have heard of this. It caused a lot of controversy in the southern border, but it actually did not cause any storm in the northern border. The big reason for this is because of the control of the Crow Claw Temple."

"But just like the division of Tapolis, there will always be people who are dissatisfied with it. These people either voluntarily withdraw from the guild or passively become free adventurers. But that's not the end. The Crow Claw Temple is quite tolerant of the summoners, but is not so polite to the indigenous people. Because of the existence of the Shadowmen, they often have to capture those possible 'lurkers', just like the scene you saw on the judgment field the day before."

"They sometimes need no reason to catch people from the countryside from Gula to Elpahin. The peace you see in Gray Owl Town is just an illusion. As long as those who resist them, even the entire village are taken away, some are forced to become believers, and the other are imprisoned. No one knows where they are imprisoned. In this area, the villages and towns near Gula Port are still fine, but the farther away, the more they appear, the withered scenes are presented."

"The massive martial law and heavy religious taxes have led many people to leave their lands and become refugees. They have to flee to the south to see if they can seek opportunities to go to Capka or Rodell - this is the only life of the fugitives. But more people are frozen to death during the migration, and few people who do not want to die, unite and resist the high-pressure rule of the Crow Claw Temple. Some of the cast members who have suffered the Crow Claw Temple's losses because of the first stage, because they cannot stand the behavior of the Temple, have joined these people. This is the origin of the 'refugees'."

Fang Yu opened his mouth wide when he heard this. He never dreamed that in the year when he left the Traveler's Rest, there had been such a big change in the northern border. It might be better to say that it was erosion - if what Saye said was true, the rise of the Crow Claw Temple did not bring any vitality to the entire Taron, but disaster.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "No one in the community has ever mentioned these?"

Saya glanced at him, "Because the Super Sports Alliance does not allow people to discuss, all the relevant content must be reviewed before it can be published. Moreover, this is a matter for the indigenous people, and most of the conveners do not care about this."

Fang Rong was a little surprised because he knew that the community is not managed by the Super Athletic Alliance, but the people from the Xingmen Port military are intervening. The military has no reason to help the Super Athletic Alliance suppress related discussions.

He suppressed this doubt and decided to have time to ask Su Changfeng what was going on.

However, he could roughly understand the attitude of the Florids and the Rainbow Alliance - the "tolerance" shown by the Crow Claw Temple to the summoners is not so much a tacit understanding reached between these two major organizations. They each divided their own spheres of influence and jointly divided the cake in the northern border.

Since the Super Athletics released new rules based on the Dragon Fire Guild's 'Lesson', they have been constantly leveraging benefits from it.

As long as the Super League continues to be a licker for the consul Elpahin and wants to get involved in the political dispute between Kaurin and Ishurien and gain benefits from it, they will continue their current actions.

The only confusion at the moment is what force has brought the Crow Claw Temple to its present level, allowing it to become one of the chess players on this table.

Fang Ling knew very well that the attitude of the most important party here should come from Elpaxin - because generally speaking, the attitude of the ruling chief Elpaxin represents the attitude of the kingdom. Judging from the success of the Crow Claw Temple, Elpaxin seems to have shown a laissez-faire about this.

He couldn't help but recall his guess again, which party behind the origin of the Crow Claw Temple was supporting it.

However, no matter which reason, it means that the existence of the Crow Claw Temple in the northern border has now become an established fact and has also been approved by the three parties.

This also means that when the free-selected summoners help the refugees fight against the Crow Claw Temple, they are actually fighting against the super competitive alliance behind it - even the two major guild alliances in China. Moreover, judging from the situation of Sae Ye and others, their "companions" should not be many.

This is also easy to understand. Not everyone is willing to stand up at this time, especially the people they help, the situation seems a bit subtle in the eyes of others - the Crow Claw Temple claims that many of these people are controlled by the dark faith, although not necessarily true, but not necessarily false.

Fang Rong was silent for a while, and couldn't help but feel a little unfavorable about the situation of these people.

Because the most important contradiction in the North is not the high-pressure rule of the Crow Claw Temple, but people urgently need security to be guaranteed. Under the background that Nicopolas' minions threaten the entire North, the Crow Claw Temple's status here is almost impossible to be shaken.

Under such circumstances, people can even tolerate sacrificing the interests of another part of the people. After all, some of the people captured in the Crow Claw Temple are indeed the "hosts" of the Shadowman.

Without authority, the only Crow Claw Temple, which masters the method of identifying "them", is also the only force that people can rely on at the moment.

In order to deal with the increasing threats, the Crow Claw Temple does seem to have the need to strengthen itself. As for whether this process is just, it is not the mainstream voice at the moment. Fang Rong knew in his heart that this was not normal, but he also knew that some things in this world were not discussed with simple right and wrong-

This is something he only understood after paying a lot of money.

Of course, understanding does not mean that he agrees—

But unless the problem can be fundamentally solved - let the threat of Nico Polas disappear, or the temple of Crow Claws disappear, no one can change the status quo - Fang Yu naturally cannot. But as a friend, if he can help these people in his ability, he will not refuse.

Although the two sides only met a few times, he had a good impression of the young ranger, and the things Saya told him answered many of his doubts.

"So you rescued Xiaokong and the others from the hands of the Crow Claw Temple," Fang Yu realized that the reason for the meeting was because the other party wanted to meet him. "How is his current situation?"

Saye shook his head: "He was seriously injured and in a bad state. He might leave this world at any time..."

"Is there no way to recover from the wound?" Fang Yu was a little surprised. "Is there a curse attached to the wound?"

Saye stopped, his voice a little quiet: "Xiaokong's wound was not left by the people from the Crow Claw Temple. He was injured by the shadow man. We don't know that the flames under the wound should be dealt with... The purple fire gradually spreads, as if devouring his vitality... I don't know how to describe it, but you will understand when you see him."

"I don't expect Xiaokong to survive. He understands this. He heard that you are here and wanted to meet you before leaving. You are Dorifin's hero. He has heard those stories and was once your admirer. I hope that at least he can satisfy his only wish at the last moment he stays here."

"If you disturb you, I can apologize to you on his behalf."

Fang Yu shook his head and said that this is nothing. However, the shadow man actually has such power. The wounds they leave can erode the starlight and cause people's vitality to pass away, which is a bit beyond his expectations.

This power seems to be of the same origin as the dark power, and the dark dragon also holds such power, but I don’t know if it is the same category. He originally had some doubts about the origin of the filmmaker, but now it seems that it was really brought by Nico Polas?

"Is there no way?" he asked.

"We have tried all kinds of ways," Saya glanced at him, as if he was a little surprised by his tone of concern for Xiaokong. "And there is a saying among the 'redeemers' that those who are hurt by the shadow man will soon become one of them."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What is the 'redeemer'?" Fang Yu asked. This was the second time he had heard this term from the other party.

Sand Night was silent again.

The footsteps slowed down in the darkness, as if the long corridor was finally coming to an end. Fang Zhu heard the sound of the rangers on the other side stopping, and they seemed to be pushing a stone door and making a low sound from that head.

After a while, the other party broke the silence and said, "We are not the same people as them, but both have similar origins. They claim to be the 'redeemers', and they are also opponents of the Crow Claw Temple, but their power is much greater than us. They are the followers of Neco Polas--"

"Afollower of Nico Polas?" Fang Yu was surprised: "Dragon Worship?"

"No," Saya shook his head: "They are not Dragon Worshipers, at least they claim so. They are just following Nico Polas. They claim that the Dragon Witch and Dragon Worshipers have long broken, and that it is not the enemy of mankind, and that Aitalia is facing a deeper threat..."

Fang Ling felt that the most bizarre story he had heard today was this. Aitalia is indeed facing a deeper disaster, that is, the disaster star came, but the dark dragon also came from it, and there was actually no big difference between the two.

However, he subconsciously remembered his experience on the wasteland of Charter City not long ago, and couldn't help but press the ring of golden flames hanging on his chest with his hand - what if Nico Polas was really restraining the army of dragon beasts?

Mazak's old housekeeper told him that the era of the dragon was over, and that sentence seemed to have a deep meaning.

And then is it Ms. Misu or the Dragon Witch Nico Boras?

After saying this, Saya did not continue to talk about this topic in depth - perhaps because she was not very familiar with the "redeemed person", but she might not want to have any connection with these people.

After all, those who openly claim to follow the Dark Dragon are not good people to ordinary people no matter what.

Fang Yu didn't ask much. It seemed that the matter in the North was almost clear. The only question was that the forces behind the Crow Claw Temple and the origin of the Shadowman were still a mystery. However, he did not intend to figure out the details here at once. If there was a chance in the future, he could investigate this matter from other sources.

He wanted to figure out the origin of the filmmakers, mainly to figure out their relationship with the third disaster star. Is the appearance of the filmmaker related to the upcoming calamity?

As for Xiaokong's injury, if he has the ability, he will try his best to find a way for him. But if it is just a wound that makes people helpless, it is too chilling, and the threat of Shadowman may have to be re-evaluated.

But Saya seemed to understand what he meant from his silence, "Xiaokong just wants to see you, he is actually ready for his situation."

"There is always a way." Fang Yu replied.
To be continued...
