The snow crushed the branches to cover the low wind outside, and the tent seemed a little quiet. It was just a temporary shelter set up with collapsed pine branches, without lighting, but only a few pairs of bright eyes immersed in the darkness.

Fang Zhu looked at the young man and said, "Tell me, let's see."

Bann seemed a little hesitant, but he felt the calmness in Fang Yu's words. He looked up at the "Captain" who was about the same age as him. He felt relieved in his heart, and gave a light breath and replied: "I suspect that all this is related to the Crow Claw Temple..."

After he finished speaking, he looked up at Fang Ling, Sha Ye beside him, and Miss Nightingale who had not spoken. Seeing that the three of them had no strange colors on their faces, he continued to speak. His voice was a little low, as if he was telling a story quietly: "Captain Ed still remembers the situation when we met that day?"

Sha Ye was stunned for a moment, a hint of surprise flashed in her green eyes. She couldn't help but turn her head and look at Fang Rong beside her. She originally thought that the other party asked her to help find this person. It was the first time the two of them met, but unexpectedly, they knew each other. But she was still calm and did not ask.

There was no surprise on Fang Yu's face, and he just nodded his head slightly.

"I actually joined the redeemed person very early. No, to be precise, Mr. Gray Whistle and others saved my life," Bain said, "I escaped by the arrest of the Grey Knight, but I fell into a coma due to serious injuries. But Mr. Gray Whistle and others happened to be in that area and were enemies of the temple. During this time, I met me who was seriously injured and fell in the woods, so I took it away and treated me."

"It was then that I joined them...and later the temple was purged in the area of ​​Artori, and we suffered severe staff reduction. My companions heard from the south that there were a large number of refugees gathering in the area of ​​Corvi, so we crossed the Frost Mountains and came to the vicinity of the town of Gray Owl."

"Bann," Saya suddenly turned around and looked at him with a bright look, "It turns out that you are not from Gula. You lied to us, and you have nothing to do with Mrs. Jennis."

The young man replied to her apologetically: "I'm sorry, it's true. Old Mrs. Jennis was a little confused. It was through her cover that I joined your camp with her, Miss Sandy Night. You are a good person, but I may not be. I came to see the situation of the refugees under the order of Mr. Gray Whistle and lie down in the camp."

"So you've been watching secretly. You've known that there was a traitor in the camp. You know that person is Grid, right?"

Bann did not refute and nodded and said, "I should have contacted you a long time ago, Miss Saya. But after I realized that there was another force in the refugee camp, I had to temporarily suspend the plan. But I didn't notice that the person was Grid at the beginning. In fact, I was looking for them, and even suspected you."

Saye looked at Bann silently. The other party was completely different from when she was in the refugee camp. The young man in her impression seemed nervous and sensitive, and she was a little timid and afraid of things. She never cared too much about this person, but at this moment, the other party seemed calm and rational in talking.

"Forget it, that's your business," Saya shook his head. "If it weren't for you, Mrs. Jennis wouldn't have been to Gray Owl Town alone, and I'm not the owner of the camp. You did nothing wrong."

"Thank you for your understanding, Miss Sandy Night."

But Saya only sighed softly: "I want to leave alone for a while, Ed."

Fang Ling looked at her and realized that it was not good to be kept in the dark, especially because the other party was a person with a very own opinion, otherwise he would not have broken up with Hongye and the others and chose to stay in the Oak Knights. But Tapolis's fall apart, the crisis in the refugee camp, and even Xiaokong's affairs, coupled with everything at the moment, perhaps the other party was a little exhausted.

In the darkness, Bain asked softly: "Did I make Miss Saye unhappy?"

"That's not enough," Alisa said, "That lady is a very strong person. I think she just thought of the people who died in that battle and the betrayed. You did nothing wrong. Let her calm herself down and she will recover."

Fang Yu looked back at Miss Nightingale in her team. When did she know each other so well?

But Alisa turned around and blinked at him, "That day, Saye, and I, and Hongye said a lot. They were already reconciled as before, everything was getting better, but people were always sentimental, especially ladies, in this troublesome autumn."

The smile in her eyes seemed to say that he would never understand a woman's heart.

But Fang Yuben didn't have the heart to understand this complex theory. Just analyzing the current situation took up most of his energy. He just listened to Alisa's words and knew that the other party was not seriously injured, so he no longer struggled with it.

Seeing that the other person's figure had disappeared from the wind and snow, he turned around and asked Baen:

"Stay going on about Artori."

Bain nodded, "I have two friends, one is Cordyll and the other is Coledia. This is their ID, but I don't know much about their real name... We met in Aitalia. Cordyll is a Chinese in reality, and Coledia comes from the second division, the hill of giant trees..."

"There are many statements about the disappearance of Altori, but most of them think it was done by dragon beasts or shadow men. My friend and I took a fancy to the commission of the Adventurers Guild to investigate the whereabouts of the missing persons. After all, there are people with Xinghui who are inexplicably missing and their whereabouts are unknown. The news spreading has caused panic..."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Fang Yu listened silently, but he couldn't help but think of another missing case in his heart. It was about Miss Aitela's younger brother and the adventurers hired by Silmide. They also suddenly disappeared under the condition of Xinghui, and then finally found the body of the lost Xinghui in the Traveler's swamp.

The two missing cases that happened more than a year ago and now have one thing in common, that is, they all happened in the north. The first disappearance case was proven to be related to homeless people. So what about these missing cases now? Will the homeless people return to this place?

But there is another possibility. After all, the wanderer and the disappearances here seem to be related to the filmmakers behind it.

So what is a filmmaker?

However, he did not raise these questions, but listened to Bain continuing: "... During the investigation, we gradually gained some evidence and found that all the disappearance cases were related to a place called Snowstone Manor. It was a castle in the south of Altoria, which once belonged to an ancient family, but that family had long disappeared in history... The castle was later bought by a nobleman from Elpahin as a different property."

"We learned that there were only some servants and guards in the castle on weekdays. Cordill believed that there might be shadowmen lurking among them. After obtaining enough evidence, we notified the Crow Claw Temple and contacted the people from the Altori Adventurers Guild to go and investigate the castle."

Speaking of this, Bain stopped.

"I didn't go there with Cordill and Coledia that day because of some private matters in reality. Besides, they also needed to contact them alone in the town, so I agreed to stay in Altoria," his tone became a little low, as if recalling a terrible history. "I didn't expect that it was their last meeting. Since they went to the castle that day, there has been no news since."

"Where are the people from the Crow Claw Temple and the people from the Adventurers Guild?" Alisa couldn't help but frown and asked, "Didn't they go to that place with your two friends? They haven't come back?"

"I don't know," Bain shook his head, "but I think so too. I went to the Crow Claw Temple to ask about my friend's situation, but the other party didn't know. But when I went to the Adventurer Guild, the gray knights suddenly appeared, claiming that I was possessed by the devil, betrayed my friend, and then attacked me."

"But I'm lucky, and I escaped by luck..."

Bain raised his head again and looked at them, "Captain Ed already knows what happened after that."

Fang Rong was silent for a moment before answering: "Thank you, this information is very important to us."

But Bain looked at him and asked, "Captain Ed also thinks there is something wrong behind this?"

However, Fang Yu did not answer.

After all, before this, he could not say that he understood the causes and consequences of these events. It would be a bit unreasonable to doubt the Crow Claw Temple because of this. Although this is indeed the most effective way to defeat the other party-

It not only fundamentally overturns the legitimacy of its existence.

The Crow Claw Temple exists because it can fight against Neko Polas, but if they collude with the dark forces, the legitimacy of its existence will be wiped out in an instant.

But the high-pressure rule of the temple and the suppression of refugees cannot be said that there must be any conspiracy behind it. The Lord of the Storm was once a righteous god, and different gods only had different doctrines, some tolerance and some harshness, and a silent god was not without the possibility of returning.

But the reason why he came to this place was because of other reasons.

The responses given to him by the three goddesses, among which Marland's motive is easiest to guess - he is the chosen man of the Lady of Justice, and she naturally has to give her voters certain promises.

The Goddess of Nature had a relationship with him and was a staunch ally of Marland, so it was nothing to show his position with this Goddess of War.

As for Milera, it may be his favor on Fenris Island. Fang Lingsi thought about it and his only connection with this lady was limited to this.

But God is God's only after all, and Marlan regards him as a elect because he recognizes that his actions can be done for him and executes her teachings. God's favor is not eternal. He asked this lady of justice for help and received a response. The fundamental reason is that Marlan also agrees with his actions.

By analogy, Aimeya and Milera should have the same view.

But if the Lord of the Storm, Aidan Ryan, returns from the abyss, is one of the saints of the Orelic system, and he is an enemy of his believers, it is in line with the doctrines of the three goddesses Marlan, Aimeya and Milera. There are obvious contradictions here.

Why are the three goddesses optimistic that they are hostile to the Crow Claw Temple?

"God acts through the hands of mortals."

"So they don't tell us the answer, we need to find the answers ourselves."

"But since the three ladies acquiesced to stand behind you, at least it means that the answer exists, right? Although you may not know what the answer is, the question itself is enough to be a guide-"

"If everything is clear, then things should be organized and natural in our opinion. But if there is something abnormal behind something, it means there is something hidden here that we don't know, and that may be where that answer lies."

That was what Silvede told him before leaving the town of Gray Owl. At the same time, it also began with the night's counterattack on the Temple of Crow Claws, and every move they took was planned.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Since the rumored army of undead has moved south from the Longxiao Mountains, the four towns in the north have long lost contact, and all the news in the north are in chaos and unknown. However, judging from the reaction of the Crow Claw Temple, they are not in a hurry to support the four towns in the north, but are on guard against the battlefield in the Huishuling area. Who is the temple guarding against?

"Do you think there is something wrong with the four towns in the North?" Fang Rong remembered that at that time, he asked the ship officer this way.

Silvede only chuckled slightly: "I don't know if the captain still remembers the disappearance in the Altoric area."

Fang Yu asked back: "That's related to all this?"

"I don't know if it's a matter of whether it's a matter of interest," replied Silmide. "But this is exactly the anomaly we are looking for, isn't it? I think we can test it."

"How to test it?"

"Take an initiative, use the attack towards Gula as a cover, and then test it towards Huishu Ridge," the ship officer gestured on the map of snow-white fingers, "If the opponent is close to Gula Port, or is eager to wipe out us, all the troops will be placed in this area."

"but……"

She stopped, raised her head and looked at Fang Ling with her eyes flowing: "If they still divide their troops to defend the Huishuling area under such circumstances, then what do the regiment commander thinks they are guarding against?"

Fang Yu was silent: "What if they really thought we would attack Gula Port?"

"Two possibilities," Silweid gently tapped the map with his knuckles and replied: "First, Bad Heiyu is a very cautious person. I have reason to believe that he will guess some of our intentions and prepare for the future. On the other hand, even if he really didn't do this, then we will take advantage of the opportunity to take down the Ash Tree Ridge and go to the four towns in the North to see it yourself?"

"But what if there isn't?"

"Then we have at least ruled out one answer," Silmide replied softly: "Without any complete example when making plans, you will always have to take risks. However, the three goddesses have at least given us a possibility, which is already very sure."

"Secondly," she said: "It all depends on the fact that the leader of the regiment can defeat Bud Black Feather."

Fang Yu was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "I'll try."

And this trial led to many things that followed.

He came back to his senses from his memories, looked at Baen in front of him, and replied softly: "Maybe, but it's too early to talk about all this now." In fact, the other party's previous description has given him considerable confidence, because Silmide rarely judges something wrong, at least in the general direction.

In this case, Bud Black Feather was still adding troops to Ash Tree Ridge, and everything seemed to show that the cautious guardian seemed to be worried about something. Now there are more details about this speculation as evidence, and the rest seems to be just waiting for them to verify.

Outside the shelter, the wind and snow were gradually subsided, and the night seemed to have entered its deepest moment. Fang Yum silently took out his pocket watch, bounced open the cover with his thumb, and glanced at the time above.

Almost before dawn—

"All in all," he replied, "take this place first, and talk about the others."

...

At the last moment before the morning, the wind and snow stopped.

This is the end of this blizzard. In the next week, the entire northern border may usher in a clear weather.

However, people understand in their hearts that the storm's cessation is just the beginning of another storm. The battle in the northern border that had been quiet for several days will soon begin again.

The redeemed people who disappeared in the blizzard a few days ago will eventually reveal their whereabouts, and the army of the Crow Claw Temple gathered everywhere will be completed again - if the battle does not take place in Gula Port, it will soon happen in the town of Gray Owl.

But in the place where people's eyes did not look at, an army of thousands of people was quietly moving in in the darkness. The gray cloaks and silver armor were hidden under each cloak, making rustling sounds as they marched.

But the snow and quiet forest absorbed all the sounds, making the night appear silent and peaceful. Under the cover of the darkness, there were rows of solemn and divine knights, holding giant swords, and rolled up flags and spears, like a moving forest, slowly moving between cedars.

The white air gushed under the metal mask lingered into a white mist, and sharp eyes passed through the mist, staring at the towering black walls of the Huishu Ridge Fortress 1,000 meters ahead.
