Chapter 158: Cause and Effect VIII

A pair of bright eyes opened in the darkness were like twinkling stars in the night sky, but the stars seemed to be still, motionless, only quietly staring at the void in front of them.

From blurred to awake, memories are like rivers flowing in the dark space, at first it is just a trickle of water, but gradually it sets off angry waves, sweeping away fragments and details, and re-flooding into the mind of the 'girl'.

She subconsciously moved her left hand, and there was a clanging sound in the darkness, and the heavy shackles locked it in that direction, and the back of her white hand was close to the stone platform, cold and damp.

The same goes for the right hand.

Washing her hands gradually remembered something, and those chaotic memories seemed to be a mighty river that swept through everything, rampaging through her mental world.

It was like a sharp cone driven into her head, and the tingling sensation made her moan all at once, and the low gasps of the 'girl' spread through the darkness, but the cold underground seemed empty.

It was a fragmented picture, interrogation, torture, pain that seemed to strip her spirit and will, she couldn't remember the time, as if she was always in the dark, tossing and turning between waking and half-conscious.

"Little Frost ......"

The low tone gradually became firm, as if the only glimmer of light had been found in the fog, and the most memorable image lingered in her thoughts.

After a moment of silence, the 'maiden' opened her mouth a little weakly—

The muffled syllable echoed over and over again in the dark underground:

"The Celestial Society."

She seemed to wake up all at once, and with her dexterous tongue twitched in her mouth, hooking the little thing she had swallowed before she fell unconscious from under her gums.

It was just a small stud earring, and the crystal on it seemed to be covered with a layer of dark green light, and she bit the crystal with her snow-white teeth, turned her head sideways, and carefully spit it out.

The studs landed on the stone platform, glittering.

Start ......

The 'girl' whispered in a tone that was a little apprehensive, uneasy and expectant.

The light on the earrings flashed, like a fluorescent light rising in the darkness, and the light fell on the depths of the 'girl's eyes, like the lamp of hope.

But the fluorescent light flickered dimly and was not stable, and it cast a somewhat dim page of light in the 'girl's pupils, washing her hands and gritting her teeth, and turning the name on it a little nervously.

It wasn't until a number entered her field of vision that her dark eyes lit up slightly.

She knew she only had one chance, and she clicked on the code with her gaze, and the dim pages of light flickered, gradually switching to the image that was being communicated—

But the 'girl' couldn't wait for a reply from there, and said a little weakly:

"H253954, C721001, turn the seven masters will ......"

She repeated the phrase again.

The light on the studs dimmed, and the surroundings returned to darkness, like the vanishing light in the eyes of the 'girl'.

There's only so much I can do, she thought to herself.

……

“…… Quicksand...... What happened to Baicheng's plan, and the envoys ......? ”

Elver-Yeez-Leonard pressed one hand on his chest, not daring to lift his head, and asked the figure above the altar in a respectful tone.

But the purple flame burned silently, without saying a word, and as the minutes passed, the patriarch of the Ravental Temple finally sensed that something was wrong, and his face changed and he looked up at the silhouette above the altar.

He didn't see him make any moves, the crow's feather scepter hanging on the wall next to him flew into his hand at once, he raised the scepter and pointed in that direction, and a jagged shadow ripple swept in that direction, the ripple hit the altar, lifted the curtain behind it in that direction, and rolled up the objects the size of the altar, and fell to the ground with a thud.

The altar itself flipped to the ground when it was struck by the Shadow Ripples, revealing the small structure behind it.

"Mirrorer!" Elver Yeez Leonard's face changed dramatically, as if he had reacted suddenly, and raised the scepter in his hand to point to the door behind him.

But at that moment, there was a loud bang from the wooden door, and it flew towards him. With a greatsword in hand, Kweed kicked open the door and burst in.

"Jagged Vortex!" Elver Yez Leonard screamed in a voice-altered voice, and the space around him seemed to distort into countless sharp jagged teeth, like the sharp beak of a crow, biting in that direction.

The wooden door immediately split apart under the squeeze of these sawteeth, turning into countless scattered sawdust, and the curling sawtooth moved further forward, closing in the direction of Kweed.

But the founder of the Redempted took a step forward as if he had no sense of this, and reached out to the patriarch of the Diocese of Altoria.

Almost immediately, golden blood poured from his torn arm, but Kweed seemed painless and strode forward.

Elver Yez Leonard couldn't help but exclaim when he saw this: "You are the family of that woman——! ”

He seemed to realize that something was wrong, and subconsciously took a step back, but he forgot that behind him was the altar of the Lord of Ravens, and his footsteps stumbled on the steps above the altar that was a cut above the ground in other places, and he immediately fell backwards.

But his fall was just enough for Kweed to catch a void, and the patriarch of the Diocese of Altoria took advantage of the opportunity to roll backwards, across the altar, and against the wall in that direction.

Only then did he raise his head, look at the intruders with a gloomy face, and said, "Don't think that you have succeeded. ”

As he spoke, he leaned back.

"Don't let him escape," Momiji exclaimed when he saw this, "There must be a secret passage there!" ”

Sure enough, as Elver Yez Leonard leaned back, the wall there also recessed inward.

And as the patriarch of the diocese of Altori was about to flee from the crowd, a deep voice suddenly came from behind them, and Elver Yeez Leonard only had time to hear what the voice said:

"Fire-arrow-fly-fist."

Rocket Flying Punch?

He didn't realize for a moment what it was, but a huge fist had magnified infinitely in his field of vision, and it slammed into the face of the patriarch of the Diocese of Altoria, beating him to tears and falling backwards with a scream.

But that wasn't the end, the claws struck him and grabbed him by the shoulder, then dragged him back and slammed him to the ground.

This punch and fall directly caused the patriarch of the Diocese of Altori to fall with a blue nose and swollen face.

And right behind him, the stone wall was receding backwards, revealing an empty passageway.

Fang Yuan put away his control gloves with a click, and then walked in this direction over the crowd, Elver Yaz Leonard, who had fallen on the ground, raised his head and was about to say a cruel word, but was grabbed by the former and slammed his head into the ground.

This blow directly made his eyes burst into flames, tears and snot flowed out at once, and he almost didn't bite his tongue, and a smell of rust immediately filled his mouth.

The previous scene had fully explained the position of the Crowclaw Temple, Fang Yu had nothing to say to these people, everything in the north was caused by them right now.

They directed and acted on their own, causing all the suffering of the refugees in the north at the moment, and also brought such a big crisis to the Seven Seas Brigade, even if he is a clay man, he still has a three-point earthy nature.

Not to mention that he is not.

Fang Yu pressed this high-ranking minion of the Crowclaw Temple to the ground with his hand, then raised his head and said to the others, "Tie him up, don't let him speak, let's go into the secret passage, and then seal the door of the secret passage." ”

Momiji looked at Fang Yu in surprise, she had rarely seen him like this, and the other party showed more calmness than decisiveness when she was in Dorifin.

In fact, when she was in Van Rik, she felt that this young man had changed a little, but at that time the other party was still a little young, and it was definitely not what he is now.

And now Fang Yu makes her feel like Miss Yugudora and them.

She shook her head before the strange thought was thrown out of her mind.

……

Watching the door of the secret passage slowly close behind everyone and take away the last shred of light, Fang Yu frowned slightly.

Someone took out the lighting crystal, so that the slightly pale light lit up in the darkness, reflecting the narrow and enclosed space around it, and the cold light fell on the bluestone steps, revealing a layer of gray hue.

“…… Quicksand, will it be that quicksand? ”

Momiji looked at the Patriarch of the Diocese of Altori, who was tightly tied up and covered his mouth, and asked Fang Yu on the side with a frown.

But how many quicksands are there in this world?

The aborigines would not have taken such a name, not to mention that Fang Yu still remembered the battle before the Summer End Tower, those galloping purple flame-like creatures, the owner of the Holy Bow Peak called them 'Nightmares'.

But about them, the other side did not go deeper.

It only suddenly occurred to him that among the three flame-like creatures he had seen on the edge of the long lake were actually a man and a woman, as well as the image of a dwarf.

He always felt that those images were somewhat familiar. In fact, it wasn't him, and Lady Léa-Sennar, Miss Sacred September, had told him, and she felt that way, too.

And at this moment, he finally reacted-

What Elver Yez Leonard saw was naturally the image of the male filmmaker who had once appeared on the shores of Long Lake.

Because the mirror image can only be input by the controller to enter the image it has seen before, and nothing more than to create a phantom out of thin air, but the shadow man Fang Yu has seen is actually only the one in the summer end tower.

He just wanted to test the Patriarch's reaction, and if the Shadow Man was really an enemy of the Ravental Temple, then the Patriarch should behave like an enemy.

But if he reacts in any other way, then it will be worth remembering.

And the truth did not disappoint them, and even greatly exceeded the expectations of everyone present, not only did the Crowclaw Temple indeed have a connection with the shadow man, but this connection also seemed to contain an amazing fact.

"Keliu, quicksand, he is a member of the Seven Masters Society...... How could it be...... Is it a filmmaker? ”

Momiji still didn't seem to recover from her previous shock, and she tried to keep her voice as low as possible, but her tone was still a little unbelievable.

Fang Yu shook his head, he already understood where his familiarity came from, he knew Quicksand—not just because Quicksand was a member of the Seven Masters Society, one of the most famous greatsword warriors of the Drafters, a star player in the Third Division, and a bigwig-level figure—and more importantly, he had only met with this bigwig not long before that.

Odin took him to Nevad for a week of intensive training, where he met and received one-on-one training from many of the 'legendary figures' who once existed.

And in the last three days of the training schedule, he happened to receive the confrontational training of this warrior god, although it was not long, but looking at the Cowlin-Ishurian, how many people could have such an experience?

And these people are real top recruiters, even if it's only for a few hours, it's enough to impress him.

He wasn't sure if Elver Yeez Leonard was deliberately deceiving them, but from the image of the flame, he actually believed it in his heart.

The Seven Guilds are an organization that stray between two major union leagues, spearheaded by seven elite Electees who are not part of the Free Electees League and are governed by the Super Athletic League—but at the same time, they are fairly independent.

Among the seven masters, Hand washing, who also had a relationship with him, is also one of them, these people are certainly not as good as the ten kings like Ye Hua and Odin, but in Kaulin-Ihurian, they also have the same appeal.

And under the Seven Masters Society, there is also a fairly extensive intelligence network, at least Fang Yu knows that the 'lady' who once teased him, 'Miss Hand Washing', is one of the controllers of this intelligence network.

Because of this intelligence network, the Seven Masters Society was able to maintain a balance between the two guild alliances, which is the fundamental reason for their existence.

They rarely get too close to one or the other, and it's unlikely that they will have any alliance or exchange of interests with the Descendants of Flor, so it's obviously a surprise that Quicksand will 'appear' here and be associated with the Ravental Sanctuary.

It's just that Fang Yu looked at the others, Momiji obviously hadn't realized something more disturbing, and the thing he had been worried about seemed to be becoming a reality.

Electee...... Could it be a shadow man, or a dragon minion?

He suddenly felt a little uneasy, and someone in the darkness tapped his palm lightly.

Fang Ou turned his head and just happened to see Alyssa's bright gaze, and although Miss Nightingale did not speak, the two had already read the same worry in each other's eyes.

If the Chosen One can become a Filmmaker—

Then the previous attack in the monastery, those who returned to Elpahim, may not be as safe as they thought.

Sandnight once told him that the injuries inflicted by the Shadow Man would not heal, and that the burning flames would devour the starlight of the person little by little, until they eventually turned the person into a monster completely.

However, there is one exception, and that is that prey that is directly killed by the Shadow Man does not seem to be robbed of Starlight, but will be resurrected intact.

But was it really an accident?

And what made Fang Yu even more uneasy was that if those people had intentionally revealed the wrong information to them, then they were now heading to the port of Gula for this operation.

Could it be a mistake?

He subconsciously picked up the communication crystal in his hand, a little worried that something would go wrong on Sylvid's side, but the crystal looked heavy and didn't react at all.

It was as if an invisible net had opened outside of this Edan Rite's Sanctuary, completely cutting off all aether connections inside and outside, and Fang Yu knew that there were many kinds of communication blocking magic that could cause such an effect.

But that also illustrates the same fact, people outside have sensed that someone has invaded.

But now they still had chips in their hands, and Fang Yu looked down at the Patriarch of the Diocese of Altoria, who was tightly bound, the target person they had captured, who was about the most intimate person they could contact at the moment.

The other party seems to know what is going on in Baicheng, so it seems that this conspiracy related to the 'shadow man' is not limited to the north.

From the rebellion of the nobles in the south, to the rebellion in Baicheng, and even the intervention of the Super Athletic Alliance in the south, there may be the shadows of these people behind the scenes.

He couldn't help but wonder if what had happened to Istania and Fenris had nothing to do with it.

In this way, the conspiracy behind the Ravental Sanctuary may have already implicated the entire Kaulin-Ihurian.

Although Fang Yu couldn't see clearly what the real purpose of these people was for a while, he also vaguely felt that those lost clues seemed to be being connected.

Crowclaw Sanctuary.

Filmmaker –

There are also the dragon-worshippers, the blind followers, each of whom has gradually become a part of this chain.

The crowd walked in some silence in the darkness, not quite sure where the passage led - but it was built either for escape or to some secret area, and it never went beyond that.

It would be great if they could escape with the help of this secret passage, but it would be nice if they could discover some secrets belonging to the Ravenclaw Sanctuary under this secret passage.

"Have you recorded all the previous conversations?" Fang Yu suddenly turned his head, looked at the patriarch of the parish of Altore, who was immobilized between Kweed and Blackbird, and asked.

Sand Night nodded.

"Well, it's enough to have this evidence," replied Fang Ou, who deliberately glanced at Kweed—the wound on the arm of the founder of the redeemed was not yet fully healed, but his face was expressionless, as if he were completely aware of the pain.

"Mr. Kweed, you are the follower of that lady," Fang Yu said again, "This guy will be dealt with by you later, he is a die-hard of the Temple, and I don't think I can pry any useful information out of his mouth." ”

Kweed was slightly stunned, raised his head and looked at Fang Yu with some surprise, not quite understanding what he meant by this.

But the Patriarch of the Diocese of Altoria, who was in the middle of him, did not notice this subtle expression, as if he remembered something at once, and his eyes showed a look of extreme fear, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Fang Yu ignored this, and continued: "The other party should have noticed that we had infiltrated, the door outside couldn't block much time, this secret passage might lead to the outside, but if not, we will cut off ourselves according to the original plan and leave this place——"

"The Dark Saints have the ability to snatch the starlight of people, but as long as they can't do anything, they can't do anything about us. There is a temple of Marlan and Lady Mirela in the port of Gulla, especially on the territory of the Lady of War, and they can't move us. ”

As he had said these two words, the Patriarch of the Diocese of Altori struggled at once, his eyes widened, and a whining sound came out of his mouth.

As if he had expected this scene, Fang Yu quietly looked back at this guy. He was silent for a moment before tearing off the strip of cloth from the other party's mouth with his hand and said:

"What do you want to say?"

"Don't kill me," Elver Yez Leonard said with a heavy breath and some horror, "I—I can take you out of this place......"

"Why, not following your Lord of the Storm?" Fang Yu looked at this guy with great interest: "What is so terrible about death, doesn't it give you the ability to live forever?" ”

"Y-How do you know about the Eternal?"

Elver Yeez-Leonard suddenly stopped, and he looked at the playful glances on the faces of the people in front of him, who still didn't understand that he was being told.

The patriarch of the Altorian region opened his mouth and stared at these people with hatred, but finally sighed, what is the use of eternal life.

If it is to take away the starlight, then all opportunities to turn the tables will be lost.

It was true that he had stepped on this ship for the promised eternal life, but even the Dark Saints could not ignite the starlight of annihilation.

Elver-Yaz-Leonard glanced at Kwyed with some fear, and if he died under the power of that woman, of course he understood what it meant.

……
