Act 226 The Old servant(1/2)
Derek was a little absent-minded, completely unconscious, and just played with the dagger in his hand with some annoyance. Compared to walking through the forest in the middle of winter and coming to this ghost place where birds do not lay eggs to perform tasks, he cared more about his dissatisfaction in the guild in recent days.
He watched the others hunch out the old man - the other party was hunched over and looking at them with some fear. Derek suddenly felt a move in his heart and looked around.
"The elemental crystal has abnormal disturbance."
Before Derek could speak, one of them said, "Is it the Ether Wind? Or is someone using magic to detect spells?" The man turned around and ordered him, "Derek, scatter a few people out and check it out--"
Derek checked his magic furnace, felt nothing unusual, and cursed in his heart. But he didn't speak because the man was the Ranger Captain of their team.
Alisa watched the man walk in this direction from afar.
She raised her hand and signaled everyone to stop. Fang Yu turned around and asked Luo Yu with her eyes.
The elemental make extinguished the crystal on the magic wand, "The three are here, in the southwest."
Fang Yu nodded, and made a gesture of silence to the others. He took out a clockwork fairy and threw it far behind him. He raised his hand and clenched his fist.
After the yellow ball rolled on the ground for a few times, it suddenly made a slight "buzz" sound, vibrating the hinge wings and drew a bright golden arc, flying towards the sky.
The two young men hung from behind from a distance, and when they saw this scene, they couldn't help but open their eyes wide. One of them opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Yayue hurriedly covered each other's mouth.
He raised a finger and placed it on his lips. When his companions saw this scene, they understood and nodded quickly. Yayue breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the other party.
"He... he is actually a combat craftsman?" his companion asked orally.
Yayue nodded, and he looked back and was shocked in his heart - he clearly remembered that the other party was a third-level alchemist with solid basic skills and a deep attainment in ancient alchemy.
Although combat craftsmen do not know anything about craftsmen's skills, this type of person is known to be specialized in combat and is well-known to be inferior to ordinary alchemists in magic skills.
Even the Saint Selected... Ayoer doesn't know much about the Saint Selected, but he also knows that although those people grow up very quickly, they are still restricted by something called "seeing and hearing" and there is no real omnipotence.
But there is another possibility here.
Most alchemists can more or less fight the skills of craftsmen, just as combat craftsmen also know certain magic skills, maybe the other party will also control the clockwork fairy?
There are still a large number of alchemists in this world who can control clockwork fairies.
Of course, that's all the adjustments of the big guys-
Yayo himself can't do it, nor can their president.
He looked at the scene before him with his breath, feeling the legendary things shining into reality in his heart. In the past, he was just hearing, but now he saw it with his own eyes. As the golden arc rose into the sky, he raised his head and suddenly a very strong thought emerged in his heart.
He doesn't want to be a frog in the well.
He looked at his companions, and the two young men's eyes were sparkling with sparks of ambition.
You must go out to see the wider world!
Fang Yu was pulling down his goggles, closing one eye, and seeing the clockwork fairy's vision in the eyepiece was flying higher and higher - he could see the Holphin Academy and the woods surrounding it in the center.
He tapped his system with his hand, cut a picture, and then used projection crystal to display it.
Fang Yu marked several points on the picture with his hand, which was Luo Yu who described the positions of the three people on the outside to him. The details were not clear at this distance, but he could roughly distinguish the other party's profession - a shield guard, a swordsman, and a ranger.
He did not let the Clockwork Fairy drop the height because the other party was very keen. From the perception of Luo Yu's magic, he could see that these people were of high level. This reminded them that this is the first competition area—
It is the first competition area after the establishment of the Star Gate and the most legendary competition area after the establishment of the Super Competitive League.
Unlike the strength of the second division, which had a significant decline after the Battle of Covenant Hill, the first division is undoubtedly at its peak in ten years.
But Miss Nightingale was very cautious and stopped just right. The few people who came out to patrol were obviously absent-minded, and were wandering around not far away like a headless fly, without even noticed that anyone was peeping at them from this direction.
"They caught that man, the old servant of the Lynn family," the Paparals were instructed by Fang Zhu to ask the two young men, and then returned to the others and said, "Those guys seemed to be the callers."
"I also see that the logo on their battle robes is the local guild in Tagri?" Miss Nightingale agreed with the conclusion, "What did they do to capture the servants of the Lynn family?"
"Let's go over and listen to it." Fang Yu replied concisely.
He clearly felt that these people were not in good intentions, so he closed his eyes and observed the nearby terrain, and then pointed his finger at the point on the map, "Pak, you sneak into this building and occupy the commanding heights, Miss Alissa, you get close to prepare to save people..."
After experiencing so many battles, Fang Zhu is already familiar with command.
Miss Nightingale nodded when she heard this.
Although Parker was a little dissatisfied with his ordering tone, he was very satisfied with the task of silencing himself. He did not reply. He took the task and got it short and got it into the bush and disappeared from that direction.
Then Fang Yu said to the others: "Others, come with me."
Yayo and his companions also walked up at his gesture. When they heard these words, they couldn't help asking, "Mr. Ed, they have more than a dozen people, are we..."
But Fang Zhu shook his head and only signaled them to follow.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because there is a clockwork fairy monitoring overhead and there is no fighting craftsman on the other side, the group easily bypasses those people.
Not far away, there is a short red brick wall covered with parasitic plants, with yellow leaves and desolate in winter. Several people sneaked under the wall with their bodies.
This place is quite close to those people, and if you get closer, you will be worried about being discovered, but you still can't hear the other party's conversation clearly.
Fortunately, Fang Yu was ready, so he took out a crystal the size of an earring from his pocket, put it on it with his hand, and the crystal shone slightly, and then it converged.
Then he threw the crystal far away.
Such a subtle movement still attracted the attention of the other party. A ranger with a big bow on his back came over and patrolled for a few glances, but found no clues and soon walked back.
Fang Yu then took out another crystal, which was actually a pair of messaging crystals.
Seeing this, Jita immediately understood what he meant, and immediately gestured on Guriel's magic book with his hand, setting a quiet area next to everyone that was isolated from the sound.
Only then did Fang Yu inject magic into the crystal, and a sound came from the crystal:
"Old guy, you hide well. If it weren't for your good son, it would have taken a lot of effort to find you out. You should know what we are here to look for, tell me, where is the manuscript?"
But this sentence is exchanged for a long silence.
Fang Yu poked his head slightly and looked in that direction. He saw a group of people hiding the old servant of Lin En's family in the middle. Except for the few people on the outside and the ranger who had just walked over, he counted the remaining ones, just ten people.
One of them was asking the old servant, who should be the master who sent the voice in the crystal.
The old man stood among the crowd without saying a word.
Seeing this, the person who asked the question turned around and said nodded to someone beside him. Then his voice came from the crystal: "Go, go talk to him."
Fang Rong saw a middle-aged man coming out, looking submissive.
The other party hesitated for a moment before speaking: "...Father, tell them where the manuscript is good. Look at the people from the Lynn family have come back to take care of us over the years? We have been servants for them for so many years, and they only left us here to fend for themselves. Why do you suffer for those guys? How miserable did they harm everyone back then? The Principality..."
"Shut up, you beast."
The old man's heartbroken voice interrupted him, "Not to mention that I don't know where Mr. Ash's manuscript is. Even if I know, I will not tell these people. Don't think I don't know what happened back then. You were maliciously slandering behind your back, and now you are pretending to be good people? If it weren't for you, the Principal would be like this now?"
"... Father, why bother," said the middle-aged man's voice. "We did not suffer any benefits from their family, but instead suffered a lot for them. To you, they are just strangers, and I am your son."
"I am not as idle and lazy son as you," the old man's voice trembled with anger. "I gave you the last little money at the beginning, and I made it clear that since you left this place, don't come back. Now you actually bring these people to ask for Mr. Ash's relics, which is not something that belongs to you!"
"The people from the Lynn family are no longer here," the middle-aged man said angrily, "that is not something that belongs to us, and who does it belong to?"
"Bah, I don't know shame!"
"Okay," said the middle-aged man, "I came to persuade you because you and I are father and son. After all, I am not the one who wants this thing now. You have so many reasons, and I can't persuade you. Do you see if these people will listen to your reason?"
The old servant fell silent.
It was obvious that he was a little afraid of those people, but after a moment he replied: "I have already said that I do not know the whereabouts of Mr. Ash's manuscript."
Hearing this, Fang Zhu looked over there again.
He saw the person who was asking the question before approaching the old man, and knew that he had no need to listen anymore. He covered the message crystal with his hands, and the voice stopped abruptly.
Then Fang Yu turned around and spoke to the others: "Take it."
When Luo Yu heard this, he immediately raised the magic wand in his hand, murmured a few words, and pointed at the ranger.
The ranger was walking back to them, and at this moment, he was shocked when he heard the sound of breaking through the air coming from behind. She herself did not react at all, but her agile "reflex dodge" ability instinct made her dodge to the side.
Clinker Luo Yu predicted his reaction. The Ranger girl turned around and saw a beam of golden red rays coming straight towards her.
Her eyes widened.
The magic shield of the magic furnace opened with a sound of "Teng", resisting the rays for a moment. This moment finally bought a little time for the girl, and pressed the crystal embedded in the magic armor's chest.
A wind element shield with a faint green light spread out, blocking Luo Yu's spell of at least three rings.
But from reflection dodging, to opening the magic furnace shield, to activate the wind element shield on the magic armor, after the female ranger took a step back, the balance and dodging values have completely returned to zero. To have the spare energy to react, at least one breathing time is required.
Unfortunately, she didn't.
It was also at this time that, using Luo Yu's spell as a signal, the Paparals poked their heads out from the fourth floor window of a nearby building full of parasitic plants and set up heavy crossbows.
A sharp roar.
In the unwilling gaze of the ranger girl, an ordinary metal crossbow arrow penetrated her throat, causing her to lean back. Before her body fell to the ground, it had turned into a faint white spot of light and disappeared.
All this happened just when the rabbit rose and falconed. Before the other people in the woods could react, they found that their side was attacked and there was no one missing for no reason.
"Enemy attack!"
The three people on the outside responded the fastest, and two of them subconsciously moved closer to the iron guard.
Others in the woods were also alert. The iron guard immediately took off the big shield from behind, held it in his hand, and looked around vigilantly. If the others were not looking for a cover immediately, they would have moved closer to the iron guard or a profession like warriors.
Derek, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, kept ringing the alarm. Although the dead female ranger was average, he was almost wandering in the middle of the guild like him, but he disappeared without even having a single encounter.
Even sneak attacks are a bit outrageous. After all, professions such as scouts, rangers and shadow dancers are naturally good at dealing with raids. This only means that the people who attack them are of extraordinary level.
