"Hey, hey, are you there?"

"Hello?" In the room, Ragnarok's alchemist listened to the empty wind from the other end of the communication crystal, and couldn't help but look at the other colleagues with a somewhat ugly face, and shook his head slightly: "I can't get in touch, maybe something happened to that unlucky guy, and of course it could be that the people of the Shadow Throne have all been wiped out." ”

"The people of the Shadow Throne have an accident with our clockwork goblins, and most of them are more likely to be more than lucky," one of them replied with a frown, "There is a blind spot for about ten minutes in the resurrection, so we can only wait during this time......"

"And Flame, what about your clockwork goblins?"

A young man scratched his head and turned around and said, "If you want to slip under the nose of the Alchemist Alliance's boss, you have to give it some time, boss?" And the other party's shot is so clean, most of it was done by the Alchemist Alliance, should we be more careful? ”

There was silence.

Only then did someone speak, "Don't you have contact information for the rest of the Shadow Throne?" ”

Everyone looked at each other. The Shadow Throne was just a small guild before the formation of the New South, and they were assigned some liaisons, but how could they hang out with these people on a normal day.

After a while, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "...... Guys, I know some people from the Throne of Shadows, I wonder if you can use it......" The owner of the voice knocked on the door outside before asking tentatively.

The alchemists of Ragnarok were stunned for a moment, and then they remembered that outside the door was the secret sentry of the guild, sent from above to protect the safety of their 'helpless' people. Everyone looked at each other before someone walked over and opened the door.

There was a young magician standing outside the door, and since there were many guild chapters and a large system like Ragnarok, it was understandable that the members of the guild did not know each other. The magician and the alchemists came from different guilds, glanced at everyone, and introduced themselves first: "My name is Silverstone......

He replied, "Our team happened to get acquainted with some people from the Throne of Shadows, and you guys might be able to come in handy—"

The alchemists looked at each other.

Then he nodded.

……

At the corner of the three forks in the cold wind, Enan looked at the musketeer who walked out from behind the snow and dust with a little surprise, he was suddenly stunned, looked at the other party in disbelief, and subconsciously opened his mouth.

Sylvid threw away the musket in her hand and smiled, "Long time no see, Enan." ”

"You, you are ......" Enan's eyes turned confused and clear, and he reacted immediately: "Wait, you are from Albert's family...... Daughter of Sir Marvi...... Miss Sylvide? ”

Sylvide laughed, "yes, but you and Fios forgot about me. ”

Enan was a little embarrassed: "After all, that was ten years ago, and I only vaguely remember some occasions when Sir Ma Wei brought you to my house as a guest; Actually, I just vaguely felt a little familiar. By the way, Fios, she ......"

At the mention of Fios, he stopped talking, and couldn't help but look a little gloomy for a while.

The ship's attendant looked at Fang Yu on the side. And Enan looked at this young alchemist with a puzzled glint in his eyes, and asked, "Are you with him?" ”

Sylvade nodded.

She walked over and raised her hand to gently sweep the snow dust on Fang Yuan's shoulder, making the latter look a little helpless for a while, but the ship's officer grabbed his collar and carefully helped him level it. Then she turned around, and with a smile in the corner of her eye, she introduced, "This is my captain, the Seven Seas Traveler, you must have heard about my father, right?" ”

Enan looked between the two of them a little puzzled.

But Sylvide's words surprised him even more, and he couldn't help but ask, "That rumor is true, do you really plan to reproduce the Seven Seas Traveler?" "He's naturally heard about the Seven Seas Traveler, and Sirinza has a close relationship with the Phoenix Clan, not to mention that he is currently from the Rose Workshop.

Sylvid bowed: "A little bit of a plan, it's just a clue at the moment, I plan to get back the Fairy Heart, this time I'm going south, in fact, it's just a stop." ”

She looked at Fang Yu and smiled, "Ed also promised to help me, in a sense, he is my fiancé." ”

"In a sense?"

Fang Yu couldn't help but blush.

That's because he can't accept such a rapid progress in the relationship.

Although he had accepted Miss Ship Officer in his heart, it was somewhat hazy, and Sylvide's form and way of being like a traditional aristocrat in this world made him a little unbearable. The big cat man secretly laughed at his hypocrisy in private, but this is probably the reserved nature of teenagers.

As for the ship's officer, she is always smiling-

Explosions and fires came from far away from the direction of the square.

Fang Yu glanced in that direction before replying angrily, "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's leave Dulun first, right?" ”

Sylvade and Enan glanced at each other, and both could tell that he was changing the subject, but both were smart people and wisely did not debunk. Enan only nodded, Fang Yuan's proposal was actually what he meant.

The trio took one last glance in the direction of the plaza before turning and walking into a nearby alley.

It's just that Fang Yu let the clockwork fairy move forward early, but he was negligent behind him, and in a dark alley there, a young man was running out of breath.

The latter, dressed as an apprentice alchemist, with a Shadow Throne emblem pinned to his chest, dodged in the shadows, and looked out, just in time to see the huge size of the Alphen twin planet gradually turning into a dark blue nothingness, and the whole process of informatization and inclusion in the black crystal

He watched the three of them leave, an incredible look flashing in his eyes, but it immediately turned to a hint of ecstasy. The young man took out the communication crystal, but hesitated, and did not switch to Ragnarok's channel - he thought for a moment, changed to a private channel, and said eagerly:

"Go and inform the Archon, I've found those people!"

A puzzled voice came from the other side of the channel: "Who are you?" ”

"It's me," the young man hurriedly replied, "I fought against the rebels who kidnapped Drissy in the Ash Mountains and Forests, and I reported it to you, have you forgotten?" I found those people, and they are still in Dulun! ”

The voice was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became serious: "What you said is true?" ”

"Of course, I saw it with my own eyes." The young man took a breath and hurriedly said.

"Wait a minute."

A barrage of information is being delivered on the battlefield.

In the corner of the square, the truce consul was looking at the duke not far away with a gloomy face, although the knights and guards around the two were still tense, but everyone knew in their hearts that this battle could not be fought.

All that's left is the Grey Men fighting the City Guard, the Southern Alliance.

Archbishop Olli looked at the two of them helplessly, sighed and shook his head, Olli's duties are light, justice and order, and to some extent, the temple is actually biased towards the royal family.

But he's a good old man.

It was at this time that an adjutant trotted in from not far away, whispering something in the consul's ear.

In full view of everyone, Archon Huo Ran got up and asked, "What you said is true. The adjutant whispered, "Indeed, the Chosen One will not lie, my lord." ”

The consul nodded, gave them a grim look, and walked away.

And on the battlefield.

In the cloud of smoke, Odin was no trace of his opponent.

However, he only looked around calmly, knowing that the other party would not go far - he couldn't help but think of the last time the two met in the Super League more than a year ago, and that battle was much more fierce than this time.

The King of Warriors was slowly spreading his dragon knight's perception domain and moving his hand towards the hilt of his sword little by little, but suddenly, he stopped moving—he withdrew his hand and took out the communication crystal from his bosom.

The communication crystal shimmered with a dark red glow.

And as soon as he stopped, the Lord of the Night was also very keen, and the voice of the other party suddenly came from behind the smoke and dust in one direction: "What's wrong?" ”

Odin shook his head: "Something is going on at the headquarters. ”

Ye Hua smiled lightly: "Could it be that the top level of the alliance was assassinated by a sneak attack, right?" ”

"You're still here, and who else?" Odin didn't answer directly, but just said so.

And the moment he picked up the communication crystal, the king of warriors had completely withdrawn the perception domain, but Ye Hua had no intention of chasing after him.

The conversation between the two is not like an opponent, but more like an old friend. However, it is not surprising that Aitalia and the Second World, the top Electors, also know each other.

When Ye Hua heard this, he knew that the other party had a confidentiality agreement, so he didn't ask, but said, "So?" ”

"That's it," Odin replied, "you don't have the heart to fight me anyway." ”

"Don't you either."

"Whatever you want." Odin didn't care too much about the war of words.

And Ye Hua also had the intention of getting out, to see if his newly-made friend had brought the duke's young son out of danger with him, so he also nodded: "Okay, let's leave this battle to the Super League and then fight-"

The smoke and dust dispersed, and Ye Hua revealed his figure from behind.

But Odin glanced at him and shook his head: "I'm afraid that the Super Athletic League won't let you participate." ”

And the latter didn't care, only shrugged his shoulders.

Neither of them is a drag on the mud, and after reaching an agreement, they go their separate ways. Odin turned back to find Fios, who was waiting beside her, and the maid was a little uneasy to wait, but was slightly relieved to see that he had returned unharmed.

"Mr. Odin, have you seen Master Enan?" She couldn't help but ask.

Odin shook his head and replied only, "He may have been out of trouble." ”

Fioss patted her chest with a relieved look.

……

Fang Yuan was hurrying through the southern city of Dulun with Sylvid and Enan.

Among the three, although Enan is a local, he rarely leaves the Duke's Mansion on weekdays, and occasionally goes out, but also to the villa in the countryside, accompanied by a carriage along the way, which can be said to be without leaving home. And Sylvede's memory of the city was even more unreliable ten years ago.

Therefore, among the three, only Fang Yu can distinguish some routes through the clockwork goblin. But in the middle of nowhere, the clouds were low and the snow was pouring in on the winter night, and the clockwork goblins saw only a dark and dreary part of the city—the occasional two or three lights.

Originally, at the beginning of the celebration, Dulun may still be brightly lit, but with the turmoil, who would dare to light the lights at this time? A few fires in the darkness must also be the barracks of the city guards, or the garrisons of the patrol cavalry.

Instead of leading them the way, they can only let them fall into the net.

But Fang Yu still used the reflection of the ice surface of a river in the south to vaguely distinguish the direction in which they left the square and leaned towards the southern city. Therefore, he made a quick decision and decided to break through from the south gate and leave Dulun -

Neither Miss Nor Enan had any opinions, and only listened to his arrangement. The three of them walked through several blocks in the darkness of the night, and the process went smoothly and unhindered along the way.

The city guards set up a number of checkpoints at several street corners, but all of them coped with the situation; On the one hand, the patrol cavalry that Fang Yu was worried about seemed to be a little sluggish, and they had not mobilized until this moment, which gave them great convenience.

It was only during his routine walk through an alley that Fang Yu led the way for a few steps before suddenly stopping in the dark. The two behind him naturally stopped, and Enan looked at him and asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Captain?" ”

Fang Yu shook his head slightly, a little puzzled in his heart—a moment ago, he felt that he had lost control of a clockwork fairy. It's just that he couldn't tell for a while, whether it was because he accidentally exceeded the distance, or because of some other reason.

Since he was not the only clockwork goblin in the sky, and the flexible construct could not voluntarily maintain the connection with the manipulator, it was entirely possible to accidentally lose one or two clockwork goblins within a radius of the entire circumference.

Especially if the controller itself is still moving.

But the overall position of the missing clockwork fairy was behind the three of them, and this direction always made him feel a little uneasy.

He shared his thoughts with Sylvid and Ennan, who listened to him, thought for a moment and replied, "Perhaps we have to move in a different direction." ”

"Going the other way?"

"There is a sluice near the south gate, and in winter the water freezes and the gate always does not close, and I have heard that some smugglers often use it to get in and out of the city at night." Enan thought for a moment before making his own suggestion.

Fang Yu was a little surprised: "How do you know?" ”

"The city guards have reported this to my father several times, but no one has been repairing it," Enan replied, "and it was put on hold since the beginning of spring last year, and I saw the report until last month—"

"Are you sure?"

"Unless they've fixed it this month."

Fang Yu thought about it for a while, and always felt that it was unlikely, it had not been repaired from last year to this year, and in the previous month, the Dulun undercurrent was lurking, and the Mordekaiser family was under the supervision of the consul, so they had to give up some control of the city guards.

In such a situation, who would care about such a trivial matter?

However, he glanced back at the direction in which his clockwork fairy had disappeared, and his mind was a little uncertain for a moment. While the city guards have not yet been mobilized, it seems that it is also a wise choice to go to the south gate to break through at this moment.

But the plan to go to the sluice sounds easier to get rid of the pursuers, but will it be a waste of time to change routes? And what happened to the sluice gate in the end, it's hard to say.

He couldn't help but ask his ship's officer, "Sylvide, what do you think?" ”

Sylvide's eyes were bright, and he tilted his head slightly: "The captain has the final say." ”

Well, I didn't ask.

And at the end of the direction of Fang Yuan's gaze-

A few blocks away, a ball split in half was falling straight down into the snow, and a leather boot with a metal guard was stepping into the snow on the side, and the owner of the boot bent down to pick up one half of the ball.

Hold it in your hand.

Odin put his sword back into its sheath, picked up the half of the structure, and took a closer look. Then he looked up and looked into the dark sky.

Behind him, the archon was arriving with a group of knights and city guards, the latter was on horseback, and when he saw the structure in his hand, he was a little puzzled: "Clockwork Fairy, is it a member of the Alchemist Alliance?" ”

Odin nodded, there is this possibility, but after all, he is the president of a guild, and he can be said to be well-informed, so he naturally sees that there are some strange components in the internal structure of this clockwork fairy in his hand. These unnecessary components add to the weight of the flexible structure, which seems a little unnecessary for the clockwork fairy who pursues speed.

However, the fact that the Combat Craftsmen are more or less modified to their flexible builds doesn't say much.

He threw away the construct before turning back and asking, "Do you know what direction the other party is in?" ”

The report that came from below said that a week or two ago, someone killed a rookie group in Ragnarok in the ashes mountain forest group, and that rookie group was still an elite reserve, as the head of the meeting, Odin naturally knew about it.

And the little princess of the silver Vislan seemed to appear in the middle of that battle, which also caught his attention. He wanted to see who the other party really was.

At least this matter was more interesting to him than to participate in those unnecessary battles in Dulun City.

Therefore, when he received the news before, he would choose to leave directly.

Hearing his question, the archon shook his head: "The witness is as timid as a mouse, he is afraid of being discovered by those people, and he has been hanging far behind, and he can't figure out where the other party has gone. Judging from the information we have at the moment, the other party should have gone to the direction of the South Gate-"

Odin didn't think much when he heard this: "The other party is a combat craftsman, it is the right choice not to catch up," he looked at the structure on the ground that was split in half, and replied, "Judging from this clockwork goblin, if he had followed, he would have been noticed by the other party a long time ago." ”

"That's really wise," the archon sneered, "what do you have in mind, Mr. Odin." ”

He probably also knew that if he wanted to deal with the people of the Alchemist Alliance, he was more reliable than the city guards, and the Chosen One was still more reliable.

Odin thought for a moment and replied: "Since the other party is going to the south gate, then Mr. Archon can first lead people to outflank the other party from several directions around and block the direction of the opponent's retreat." I'll go ahead and see if I can get around in front of those people. ”

"Then please." The archon thought for a moment, nodded approvingly.

So Odin didn't stay long, just nodded and turned around and left. After all, for him, and even for Ragnarok, this is nothing more than a task.
