Pillars of Ita

Derek was a little absent-minded, completely out of his mind, and only played with the dagger in his hand a little irritably.Compared to walking through the forest in winter to perform tasks in this ghostly place where no birds can lay eggs, he is more concerned about his unsatisfactory life in the guild these days.

He watched the other people push the old man out—the other man was hunched over, looking at them with some fear.Derek suddenly felt moved and looked around.

"There is an abnormal disturbance in the elemental crystal."

Before Derek could open his mouth, one of them said, "Is it the wind of the ether? Or is someone using magic power to detect spells?" The man turned around and ordered to him, "Derek, disperse a few people and go out. Check out the perimeter—”

Derek checked his magic furnace and felt that there was nothing unusual, and cursed secretly in his heart that he made a fuss out of a molehill.But he didn't speak, because that man was the ranger captain of their team.

Alyssa watched the man walking in this direction from afar.

She raised her hand to signal everyone to stop.Fang Plover turned his head and asked Luo Yu with his eyes.

The elementalist extinguished the crystal on the magic wand, "Three people are coming, in the southwest."

Fang Plover nodded, made a silent gesture to the others, took out a clockwork goblin, and threw it far behind - he raised his hand and clenched his fist.

After rolling a few laps on the ground, the small yellow ball suddenly made a slight 'buzz' sound, vibrating its hinged wings, drew a bright golden arc, and flew towards the sky.

The two young men hung far behind, their eyes widened when they saw this scene.One of them opened his mouth to say something, but Yayo quickly covered the other's mouth.

He raised a finger to his lips. Seeing this scene, his companion understood and nodded quickly.Yayo breathed a sigh of relief, and then let go of the other party.

"He...he is a battle craftsman?" The companion asked with mouth movements.

Yayo nodded. He looked back over there, and his heart was full of shock—he clearly remembered that the other party was a third-level alchemist with solid basic skills and profound attainments in ancient alchemy.

Of course, combat craftsmen are not ignorant of craftsman skills, but such people are specialized in combat after all, and it is well known that they are not as good as ordinary alchemists in magic skills.

Even the chosen ones... Yayue doesn't know much about the chosen ones, but he also knows that although those people grow up quickly, they are still limited by something called 'knowledge and experience', and there is no real all-rounder.

But here's another possibility.

Most alchemists more or less know the skills of a battle craftsman, just like a battle craftsman also knows certain magic skills, maybe the other party can also control a clockwork goblin?

There are quite a few alchemists in this world who can manipulate clockwork fairies.

Of course, that was all adjusted by the bosses——

Yayo himself can't do it, and neither can their president.

He held his breath and watched the scene in front of him, and felt in his heart that the things in the legend had been reflected into reality. In the past, he had only heard about it, but now he saw it with his own eyes.Yayo followed the golden arc up to the sky and raised his head, an extremely strong thought suddenly appeared in his heart——

He doesn't want to be a frog in a well.

He looked at his companion, and the eyes of the two young men were also full of ambition.

Be sure to go outside to see the wider world!
Fang Plover was pulling down his goggles, closing one eye, and seeing the clockwork goblin's field of vision flying higher and higher in the eyepiece - he had a panoramic view of Holfen Academy and the forest surrounding it.

He tapped his system with his hand, cut out a picture, and displayed it with the projection crystal.

Fang Yan marked a few points on the picture with his hands. It was Luo Yu who described to him the positions of the three people on the periphery. The details could not be seen clearly from this distance, but they could roughly distinguish the occupations of the opponents—a shield guard, a A swordsman, a ranger.

He didn't let the clockwork goblin lower his height, because the other party was very sensitive. From the perception of Luo Yu's magic detection, it can be seen that these people are not low-level.This reminded them, this is the first competition area——

It is the first competition area after the establishment of the Star Gate and the establishment of the Super Sports League, and it is also the most legendary competition area.

Unlike the strength of the second division, which declined significantly after the First Battle of Covenant Mountain, the first division is undoubtedly at its peak in ten years.

However, Miss Nightingale was very cautious and stopped just right. Those who came out to patrol were obviously absent-minded. They were circling around not far away like headless chickens, and they didn't even notice that someone was spying on them from this direction.

"They caught that man, the old servant of Lynn's family," the Paparael was instructed by Fang Ploy to ask the two young men, and now he came back and said to the others, "Those guys seem to have chosen Summoner."

"I also see the same logo on their shirts. It's the local guild in Tagli?" Miss Nightingale agreed with this conclusion, "Why are they arresting the servants of Lynn's family?"

"Just go and listen and you will know." Fang Yan replied succinctly.

He obviously felt that these people came with ill intentions, closed one eye and observed the nearby terrain, and then pointed to a point on the map, "Parker, you sneak into this building and occupy the commanding heights, Miss Alyssa, come closer and prepare save people..."

Having experienced so many battles, Fang Plover has long been familiar with commanding.

Miss Nightingale nodded her head upon hearing that.

Although Parker was a little dissatisfied with the tone of his order, he was very satisfied with the task of suppressing himself, and he didn't answer. He took the task and got into the bushes, disappearing from that direction.

Only then did Fang Yan say to the others: "Others, follow me."

Yayo and his companions also came up under his signal, just in time to hear these words, they couldn't help asking, "Mr. Aide, there are more than ten of them, do we..."

But Fang Plover shook his head, only motioning for them to follow.

Since there was a clockwork goblin watching over their heads, and there were no battle craftsmen on the other side, the group easily bypassed those people.

Not far away was a low red brick wall, covered with parasitic plants, with withered and yellow leaves, which looked withered in winter. Several people sneaked under the wall with a low body.

This place is already quite close to those people, and if you get any closer, you may be discovered, but you still can't hear the other party's voice clearly.

Fortunately, Fang Plover was prepared, and took out a crystal the size of an earring from his pocket, touched it with his hand, the crystal shone slightly, and then subsided.

Then he threw the crystal far away.

Such a slight movement still attracted the attention of the other party. A ranger with a big bow came over and inspected for a few times, but found nothing, and walked back quickly.

Only then did Fang Yan take out another crystal, which was actually a pair of communication crystals.

Seeing this, Jita immediately understood what he meant, and immediately made a few gestures on Gullier's magic guide book, setting up a silent area around everyone to isolate the sound.

Only then did Fang Yan inject magical power into the crystal, and a voice came out of the crystal:

"Old man, you hid well. If it weren't for your good son, it would have taken us a lot of effort to find you. You should know what we are looking for. Tell me, where is the manuscript?"

But these words were met with a long silence.

Fang Plover slightly poked his head out and looked in that direction.He saw a group of people besieging the old servant of Lin En's family in the middle. Except for a few people on the periphery and the ranger who had just walked over, he counted the rest, no more, no less, exactly ten people.

One of them was questioning the old servant, so he should be the owner of the voice in the communication crystal.

The old man stood among the crowd without saying a word.

Seeing this, the person who asked the question turned around and pouted at the person beside him, and then his voice came from the crystal again: "Go, go and talk to him."

Fang Yan saw a middle-aged man walking out with a submissive look.

The other party hesitated for a moment, and then said: "...Father, just tell them where that guy's manuscript is. Have you seen that the people of Lynn's family have come back to take care of us these years? After many years of servants, they just left us here to fend for ourselves, why do you have to suffer for those guys, they hurt everyone so badly back then, the Principality..."

"Shut up, you bastard."

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 knew, I wouldn't tell these people. Don't think that I don't know what happened back then. You are the ones who maliciously slandered me behind the scenes, and now you are pretending to be good people again? If it weren’t for you, what would the Dukedom be like now?”

"...Father, why are you doing this?" The voice of the middle-aged man said again, "We didn't benefit from their family at all, but suffered a lot for them. To you, they are just strangers, and I am Your son."

"I don't have a son who is idle and lazy like you," the old man's voice was trembling with anger, "I gave you the last bit of money back then, and I made it clear that since you left this place, don't come back. Now you Bring these people to ask for Mr. Ash's relics, it doesn't belong to you!"

"The people of Lin En's family are gone now," the middle-aged man said angrily, "That doesn't belong to us, so who does it belong to?"

"Bah, shameless!"

"Well," said the middle-aged man, "I came here 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." If you want to move you, you should see if these people will listen to your reasoning?"

The old servant fell silent.

It could be seen that he was a little afraid of those people, but he replied after a while: "As I said, I don't know the whereabouts of Mr. Ash's manuscript."

Hearing this, Fang Plover looked over there again.

He saw that the person who asked the question was approaching the old man, and he knew that he didn't need to listen anymore, so he covered the communication crystal with his hand, and the voice stopped abruptly.

Then Fang Plover turned his head and said to the others: "Do it."

Hearing this, Luo Yu immediately raised the magic wand in his hand, whispered a few words, and pointed at the ranger.

The ranger was walking back with his back to them. He was startled when he heard the sound of piercing through the air from behind. She didn't react at all, but the instinct of 'reflection and evasion' in the agility department made her dodge to the side go.

The clinker Luo Yu had predicted his reaction, and as soon as the ranger girl turned around, she saw a beam of golden-red rays coming straight towards her.

She widened her eyes.

The magic shield of the magic furnace opened with a sound of 'Teng', blocking the rays for a moment.This moment of effort finally bought some time for the girl, and she pressed her hand back on the crystal inlaid on the circuit on the chest of the magic armor.

A wind elemental shield with a faint blue light spread out, blocking Luo Yu's spell with at least three rings.

But from the reflection dodging, to the opening of the shield of the magic furnace, to the activation of the wind element shield on the magic armor, after the female ranger took a step back, the balance and dodge values ​​had completely returned to zero.To have the strength to make the next reaction, at least a breathing time is needed.

Too bad she didn't.

And it was at this time that, with Luo Yu's spell as a signal, the Pappallars poked their heads out from the fourth-floor window of a nearby building full of parasitic plants, and set up their heavy crossbows.

There was a sharp whistle.

Under the unwilling eyes of the ranger girl, an ordinary metal crossbow pierced her throat, causing her to lean back. Before her body fell to the ground, it had disappeared into a faint white spot of light.

All this happened in the instant when the rabbit rose and the falcon fell. Before the other people in the woods could react, they found that their side had been attacked, and one person had been lost for no reason.

"Enemy attack!"

The three people on the periphery reacted the fastest, and two of them subconsciously moved closer to the iron guard.

While other people in the woods were also on alert, Tie Wei immediately took off the large shield from behind, held it in his hand, and looked around vigilantly.Others either seek immediate cover, or move closer to iron guards or fighters.

Derek, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, was even more alarmed.Although the level of the dead female ranger was mediocre, and he was wandering in the middle of the guild like him, she passed away without even meeting her face to face.

Even if it was a sneak attack, it would be too outrageous. After all, professions such as scouts, rangers, and shadow dancers are naturally good at dealing with surprise attacks.This only shows that the level of the people who attacked them is not average.

At least not inferior to them.

Derek's heart was pounding, and he glanced upwards from the corner of his view, just in time to catch a glimmer of light, "On the fourth floor," he screamed, "Ranger...not, crossbow sniper!"

But the moment Derek shouted, he regretted it. He recognized that it was a magic crossbow, and aimed at him in his direction.There were two bangs, and two crossbow arrows flew towards this direction one after the other.

Derek sounded the alarm in his heart, and subconsciously flew back, his eyes fixed on the two flashing points, and his mind was racing, "Tracking arrows, explosive arrows, or refracting arrows?"

He retreated in the right direction, narrowly avoiding the first crossbow.

It's just that the moment the crossbow bolt hit the ground, it suddenly turned into countless beams of light and exploded in all directions-it really was a refracting arrow, this move is a technique that all crossbow shooters and rangers above the middle level can master.

The magic bow or crossbow, and the three types of magic plug-ins on his body work together to promote the ability to promote birth. Derek has also installed this set of plug-ins, and he also knows this technique.But the opponent is obviously higher level than him, because there are thirteen rays of light folded out.

He only has seven ways.

Each of those beams of silver light had half the attack power of the original crossbow.

The opponent is at least five levels higher than him.

Derek immediately came to this conclusion, but he also judged correctly, dodging every attack by folding in mid-air, and then flew and rolled behind a tree trunk.

The shooter's second crossbow predicted the direction of his dodge, but not the distance.He analyzed his only escape possibility in just half a second, but before he could relax, he suddenly heard a muffled sound coming from behind——

"not good!"

Derek's scalp exploded when he heard that unique voice.

But he had already exhausted all his dodge points, and there was no time to react—there was a loud noise, the bark exploded, and a crossbow pierced through the tree trunk, shooting out from his left chest, like a beam of blue light piercing through the tree. Into the soil in front, straight into the feathers.

Wind Elemental Arrow——

Penetrating vector.

Derek coughed up blood with a 'wow'.

One face-to-face, one dead and one seriously injured, everyone's scalp was numb.

"Who's there!?" The person who asked the question roared loudly, but he didn't dare to stand up. Everyone present believed that there was a terrifyingly threatening crossbow sniper occupying the commanding heights to suppress them.

This is the worst case.

But there are obviously no other guilds around Tagree, who would dare to attack them?
That person immediately waved his hand to the others, signaling to everyone to attack in several ways. There is no way to be passive all the time, they can only be suppressed to death.They are not without experience in fighting, and immediately tried to regain the initiative.

But after Parker shot two arrows, he felt a little sad for his expensive magic arrow, and retracted, not intending to show off again.

Next, he only followed Fang Plover's instructions, and fired two cheap smoke bombs into the woods. After thinking for a while, he released an explosive arrow.

At least in the Seven Seas Brigade, explosive crystals are still relatively cheap, and there are plenty of them—the Paparars adjusted it a little and removed the most expensive delayer on it.

Finally, he briefly recalled the direction in memory, and then pulled the trigger.

The white smoke exploded in mid-air, forming two clouds that spread downward.

The person who asked the question screamed inwardly, subconsciously wanted to give an order, but suddenly realized that the smoke would cover his body, and immediately changed to typing in the team channel:

"Don't blow the smoke away completely, use Breeze to sweep out a path."

It's just that he had just issued the order, when the mages in the team stood up together, a crossbow pierced through the smoke and shot straight in that direction.The mage was taken aback when he saw this, and instinctively opened the magic shield of the magic furnace.

"Don't—" The fighter around him, relying on the better dynamic vision provided by the fighter plug-in, saw this scene clearly and shouted.

But it was too late, and the explosive arrow hit the magical shield opened by the wizard.

As I said before, the energy of the exploding crystal comes from the turbulent magic power in it, but to detonate, the shooter needs to use a delayer to set the time...

But there is no delay device on the crossbow of the Pappalars.

It's just that the moment the exploding crystal shattered on the magic shield, the turbulent magic power that should have been dispersed was pulled by the magic power of the magic shield itself, and it went directly along its magic power circuit to the magic furnace behind the mage.

The mage turned pale with fright.

But I don't know if it was the dazzling bright spots formed by the huge magic power gathered in his magic furnace, which turned his face pale.

In short, the next moment, together with the magic furnace behind him, it was shattered into pieces with a loud noise.

The flash of the explosion even penetrated the smoke, and a ring-shaped shock wave swept across, directly sending the nearest people flying.

The person who asked the question opened his mouth wide, and before he had time to enter words, he shouted directly: "Protect that old thing!"

Ash's manuscript still fell on the other party——

He couldn't let those people kill the old guy.

The two swordsmen who were escorting the old servant also retreated subconsciously, and one of them was about to open the shield—he had learned the lesson from his companions, and this time he opened the shield on the magic armor.

It's just that slowly, the light of the shield has been lit up first, blocking the old servant from the shock waves and stones that are sweeping.

The swordsman was slightly taken aback, thinking that his companion was one step ahead of him, he turned his head and was about to say something, but suddenly saw a bright knife light reflected in his field of vision.

A snow-white slender hand stretched out from behind and covered his mouth, and then the swordsman only felt a slight chill on his neck.

After that, I couldn't feel anything.

Alyssa squatted beside the two, wiped off the blood on the daggers on their battle robes, and watched the two corpses disappear into white light before picking up the other's lost equipment.

With Fang Plover around, Ms. Nightingale didn't like these magic equipments of varying quality at all, not to mention that some of them damaged the core crystals when they were disconnected from the magic furnace.

However, the recovery equipment was requested by the head of the group, and he said that it can be sold after repairing.

Then she straightened up and looked at the old servant of Lynn's family.

The other party seemed to be petrified, and didn't react for a while.

"Old man, please follow me."

The smoke hadn't completely dissipated. Seeing that the other party had no response, Alisa asked again, "Are you injured? Do you need help?"

The old man shook his head dully.

……

"Target saved."

Fang Plover looked at the text that popped up on the light screen.

He didn't plan to participate in the subsequent battles either. The Paparars were killed and injured as soon as they made a move, and at least three were killed in one fell swoop later. Except for the two swordsmen, Miss Nightingale was still silent when she first sneaked in. Killed one.

Then there are at most five people left.

Luo Yu and Jita have passed away, and they should be more than enough to deal with the rest.

After going through so many battles, he is certainly not the only one who grew up in the Seven Seas Brigade—Luo Yu, Jita, Papalal, and even Miss Nightingale, who joined the team later, have crossed the second-level career one by one. Stage, entered the upper zone among the First World Chosen.

And when she was in Aiquin, Princess Brianna personally tested the combat effectiveness of their regiment.Almost everyone in the Seven Seas Brigade grew up in one battle after another. In terms of combat experience alone, they are far richer than ordinary recruits.

Fang Plover still remembered the first time he met Parker, the opponent even stepped on the air during the battle and fell off the rock.Who would have thought that the other party could now be alone, suppressing half of the group by himself?
The scene just now couldn't help but remind him of Qin Zhi, the ranger from the Spear of the Silver Forest that he had met before, when the other party was also the same person who suppressed the entire group of Dawn Star.

Of course, their opponents are far inferior to the Dawn Star of the day, but after all, they are still seventeen or eighth-level drafters, who are close to the peak of the second-tier profession.

Fang Yan thought for a moment silently, and then sent a message to Luo Yu, urging him to stay alive if possible.

During the battle, Luo Yu even had time to reply a text message:
"it is good."

Fang Yan had asked the two young men from the Artisan Association before, but unfortunately the other party was not familiar with the local recruiters, and could not tell the origin of these people.

In fact, Yayo and his companions were completely stunned at this moment. They looked at the "alchemist" in front of them, and then at the direction of the smoky woods. They opened their mouths, not knowing what to say for a while.

They didn't expect the other party to attack without saying a word, even though they were dealing with the Chosen One.

But even the Chosen...

"Mr. Ed..." Yayo felt that he should at least be living in a peaceful age, and he just wanted to confirm this subconsciously, "I, I thought you would negotiate with them first, and then..."

Fang Yan was taken aback when he heard this.

He thought about it carefully before explaining to the two of them, "...it seems that I was really like this before."

……
