Chapter 160 Choice I(1/2)
The girl gently lifted the snowflakes falling from the sky with her hands, and the crystal hexagons melted into the palm of her palm in an instant.
"Miss Bai Xue, let's go back."
"...The weather outside has become colder again. It is about to snow. It is like this all day after day, and I am annoyed."
"There will be another internal meeting later. If you are not present, the vice president and others will talk about us again."
From afar, people were talking.
The girl was turning her silver handguard armor over, and her short hair, which set off a very delicate face. Her heroic eyebrows were slightly tilted, as if she was a pair of suspicious and fickle eyes hidden.
She turned around and stared at the others with some anger. A long bunch of hair was hanging down to her chest. The ends of the hair were swaying slowly, with a unicorn silver ornament tied on it.
"I didn't let you follow me out, so I'm so verbose. If you want to go back, go back by yourself."
People looked at each other and whispered:
"...Oh, Miss Bai Xue is angry again."
"Miss Bai Xue is good at everything else, but she has a bad temper."
"Yes, compared to the fact that the 'Princess Princess' has a much better temper. She is excellent and treats people so kindly, and is simply perfect..."
Hearing that name, a haze flashed between Bai Xue's eyebrows. Her eyes turned cold. She turned her head and looked at these people with her lips tightly pursed, and an angry red rose on her face.
"Ignaz," she looked to the side and asked, "Are you going back too?"
Standing beside the girl was a young man with black hair, giving people the first impression of being taciturn. He stood by the bridge railing with his hands on his sword, staring at the frozen river surface.
The young man's eyes were as silent as water, as cold as a knife, as if he could see through people's hearts and distinguish right from wrong. His heroic appearance was hidden under a heavy armor and was shaking his head silently.
"I'll go back with you," he said.
"There is nothing special about today's internal meeting. It's just a few days ago," Ignaz continued. "It's nothing if you don't go back. The minutes will be sent to everyone."
"Ignaz, do you think she is better than you?"
Ignaz looked at the girl in front of him, and was silent for a moment, but nodded.
Bai Xue raised her eyebrows and asked in a mean tone: "Okay, do you like her too?"
Ignaz shook his head.
"Fake good and false righteousness." Bai Xue looked at him angrily.
She let out a sigh of relief and whispered sarcasticly: "I really don't know what that hypocritical woman is good. She always pretends to be a good man, but I can't act like she is."
She held the hilt of her sword with her hand, but there was an unforgettable worry between her eyebrows. Everyone was a newcomer from the same youth training camp and was also hotly discussed by the outside world.
But everyone's attention was the princess of the silver Weslan from beginning to end. She never admitted losing, and her strength was just between her and the other party.
But the guild asked the other party to go to the second world because a 'princess' was more gimmick and more likable. Xuebai held his sword tightly and clattered, and even his knuckles turned slightly white due to excessive force.
"Let's go, go back," she suddenly raised her head and gritted her teeth and said, "I suddenly don't want to see the snow scene anymore, and there's nothing good to watch."
Ignaz seemed to have never heard of it, and just looked up at the front.
Bai Xue quickly reacted and looked across the bridge. There were tiny snowflakes drizzling in the sky, and in that direction, there seemed to be a vague sound of scattered footsteps.
In just a moment, a stumbled figure flashed out from the end of the alley there, and Bai Xue and Ignaz's eyes condensed at the same time.
They saw the blood on each other's body clearly, and they almost moved in unison, drew out their weapons together, facing that direction, and showed a vigilant look.
Cole felt that his lungs were about to explode. He was not so physically weak, but the injuries on his back and shoulders were constantly bleeding, his head was dizzy, and his strength seemed to be leaving him.
Not to mention that he had escaped several streets before, but the gray knight behind him was still chasing him relentlessly. On several occasions, he was in danger and could escape almost by chance.
The despair, panic and fear in my heart make people feel like drowning, and their breathing is difficult to calm down. At this moment, it seems that even the heartbeat becomes more disordered.
He felt more than once that he couldn't stand it anymore.
Cole looked back, the gray cloaks were already close to him, and even could see the other party's cold-looking faces. They were pushing away the blocked obstacle with their hands and approaching in this direction.
Hold on—
Cole shook his groggy head, the destination was very close. Although he didn't know if those people would help him, that was his only hope.
He turned his head again, but was stunned for a moment, and suddenly saw the person who suddenly appeared on the other end of the bridge, a man and a woman. He couldn't see clearly the opposite side, so he tripped under his feet and knelt down the next one.
Heavy footsteps came from behind.
Cole coughed heavily, then raised his head and saw the outfits of the man and the woman in the foggy sight.
The silver rose blooming on the shoulder armor fell into his eyes, as if a flash of lightning fell on him. Cole opened his mouth wide and shouted to those people in a daze:
"Please help me, please..."
The Grey Knight stopped at the other end of the bridge, and they also noticed the silver Weislan people over there. If it were others, they might not have cared about it, but these Saints were obviously an unstable factor.
The Grey Knights first looked at Cole who was kneeling in the middle of the bridge, then wandered on White Snow and Ignaz for a moment before speaking in a muffled voice: "Selected, this is not your business."
Bai Xue frowned and looked at Cole, who was covered in blood in the middle of the bridge. She also recognized the identities of the gray knights opposite her, but did not put down the sword in her hand, and asked, "What's going on?"
"He is a spy of the Shadowman, a dark believer," replied the Grey Knight. "Nicolas and its minions may be planning a new attack, and we must catch him back and interrogate."
"I'm not..." Cole knew that he had only a glimmer of hope and could not let the other party speak, "Are you Silver Weislan's people? I, I have a letter to you..."
The gray knight's face changed.
But Bai Xue walked forward, came to Cole, and spoke to the other party suspiciously: "A letter to us?"
Cole took a breath and couldn't help coughing. A few blood flowers bloomed on the falling snow. He finally raised his head and nodded to the girl in front of him with difficulty, then reached out to the arms and groped out the letter.
Bai Xue took the blood-stained letter and saw the signature on it at a glance. Her brows couldn't help but frown deeply - it was that woman again.
She resisted the urge to throw the letter out, opened the letter paper, glanced at the contents on it, and a surprised gaze flashed in her pale silver eyes.
She held the letter, raised her head and looked at the gray knights not far away.
"Miss Snow," said the gray knight over there again, as if they recognized the girl's identity: "We know you, please do not easily believe the sweet words of these treacherous people. He and the people they colluded with are the minions of the Dark Saints. You have a great reputation with the Silver Weislan behind you, and there is no need to be related to these people."
Bai Xue was staring at the name on the letter with a cold look.
She glanced at the contents on the letter line, her expressions constantly changing in her silver eyes, and complex emotions were hidden deep in her eyes. She almost instinctively could not believe the contents on it, but if it was true...
She raised her head again and looked at the gray knights, and it seemed that she had made a decision in her heart.
"You say that the people he and the ones behind them are all the minions of the Dark Saints?"
The girl's voice was slightly cold.
...
At least there was a little Elph Yez Leonard didn't lie. The secret passage did have an exit, and everyone found its exit leading to a quiet alley near the church.
Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they came out from there. Although the operation was a bit unexpected in the end, it was generally safe.
Fang Yu first asked him to go out to investigate the situation outside.
The temple should be moved now, and the people in the Crow Claw Temple will not be unclear about the secret passage leading to this place, so the outside may not be as safe as they imagined.
At the same time, of course, he himself released the clockwork fairy and pulled off the goggles-
"Where are we going next?" Blackbo asked from the side at this time: "Go to Miss Silvede and the others and go out of the city while the chaos?"
Fang Yu shook his head, distracted and replied on the ground: "No, let's go to the Stargazing Tower."
"Star and Moon Council?" Blackbo was a little surprised. "What are we going to find those warlocks? Will they help us?"
"I don't know whether they will help us," Fang Yu replied, turning his vision in the goggles down. He saw that the direction of the temple was indeed brightly lit.
In the darkness, several fire dragons were extending in all directions. They were the light of torches, and several of them were coming in this direction.
"But the main messaging crystal of the Star and Moon Council is the only channel that can transmit information to the entire northern border at present. Gula does not have the Craftsman Association, so we only hope for two places - one is the Stargazing Tower, but the large library of the Silver Society."
Speaking of which, the predecessor of the large library of the Silver Society was the scholar organization, the guardian of knowledge, the Silver Tower, which was also the birthplace of Miss Dragon Soul. However, for some reason, Fang Yu always instinctively resisted this place.
Therefore, the only priority choice for him is the stargazing tower belonging to the Council of Stars and Moon.
"Mr. Ed, do you want to...?"
But a rapid footstep interrupted Blackbo's words, and Miss Nightingale walked back from the alley in that direction with a very bad look on her face and said to everyone: "...The situation outside is not very good. There are people from the Crow Claw Temple everywhere. They seem to have alarmed the city guards, the regiment commander?"
Hearing that the city guards were alarmed, Blackbo's face changed.
No matter how tight the Crow Claw Temple controls Gula, it is impossible to control the entire city. At least the temple of the three goddesses is not under its jurisdiction.
But the city guards are different. The city guards have always been responsible for the defense of the entire port, which represents the majesty of the consul and the kingdom. If the other party is willing to investigate, even Marlan, Milera and Aimeya's temple cannot shelter them.
What's more, the city guards are an army. No matter how strong their individual strength is, how can they compete with the army? There are no dragon knights among them.
Fang Yu pulled down his goggles and nodded to Alisa. His clockwork fairy could see clearly what the other party said in the air.
Not long after, Xiaokong and Parker also brought the same information from different directions. People from the Crow Claw Temple appeared everywhere outside, and the other party seemed to have surrounded the place.
"What should we do now, Captain Ed?" Xiaokong asked a little panting.
However, Fang Yu's response was very simple. Since there was no way out, just break through the siege.
He did not choose to return from the same route because the communication has not yet been restored, and Bai Ye still cannot contact him. When he is uncertain about the current situation, Fang Yu is more willing to choose a safer solution.
From the previous conversation with Elver Yez Leonard, he vaguely felt that their trip might not be as secret as he imagined.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Fang Yu still remembered that before entering the city, Saye told him about the strange things that happened on the night they met in Gray Owl Town. He still hasn't figured out who the missing messenger was.
