Invincible Heroes - Hidden Architect

Under the dim light, Saailan sat on the greasy floor of the hotel, playing with the building blocks given to him by his father.

This is a cheap hotel, with a broken window and some drafts.

In order to avoid the cold, Ellen took out Ed's thick robe and put it on himself.

Layers of building blocks kept stacking up in Ai Lang's hands.

The blocks he stacks are very interesting.

When ordinary people stack building blocks, they spread out the foundation, with fewer layers than each other, so that the building blocks will be stable.

But the building blocks Ai Lang piled up were in the shape of an inverted triangle.

There is only one building block at the bottom of the entire triangle as a support, and the whole thing looks shaky.

The entire set of building blocks are irregular, including squares, cylinders, triangles, and hexagons.

It is undoubtedly very difficult to build such an inverted triangle using these building blocks. The position of each building block must be carefully calculated.

But Ai Lang, who had built building blocks countless times, was able to figure out this shape easily.

After placing the last brick, the inverted triangle is completely formed.

Ellen's mind couldn't help but think of what Ed said to him:

“The shape of this building block is our Bracada.

A normal and healthy building block should be big at the bottom and small at the top, but now Brakada is big at the top and small at the bottom.

It looks very glorious and beautiful, but in fact it is crumbling and full of crises.

What I have to do is to work hard to extract the building blocks from the top and fill them in the bottom, so that the shape of the building blocks can return to normal and healthy. "

"call."

Sa'ilang exhaled and carefully and slowly pulled out a block, preparing to fill it underneath. But the moment he pulled out the block, the whole block collapsed.

Ping ring ring!

Blocks fell down in a disorderly manner and were scattered all over the ground, making it a mess.

Just then, a gust of cold wind blew through the hole in the window, blowing directly on Sa'ilang's astonished face.

Sa'ilang couldn't help but tighten his clothes, feeling the warmth his father brought to him.

He sat on the ground, raised his head, looked at the dim night, and murmured to himself:

"Dad, the blocks fell down."

…

…

On the way back to the hotel, Saaid thought about the meeting just now.

To his surprise, what was waiting for him in the castle was not Helen, the current city lord, but a figure countless times higher than Helen - the leader in the minds of all mages, the great sage, Cedros.

Moreover, the legendary great sage actually supported his policy and said he would stand by his side.

This made Saaid's steps become brisk.

But at this moment, Saaid felt vaguely that something was wrong.

The maid beside him kept leaning on him.

Even if he tried his best to dodge, his arms would still come into contact with softness and warmth that he shouldn't have from time to time.

This made Saaid's face darken involuntarily.

He stopped and asked solemnly:

“Ma’am, I think I need to go a little faster.

My child is still waiting for me in the hotel. He is timid and afraid of being alone.

I still remember the rest of the way, so I don’t need you to lead the way. Thank you for your hard work along the way. "

"whispering sound."

The maid pursed her lips and rolled her eyes at Saaid.

“You are really boring.

The appearance is quite to my taste, but the personality is really awkward.

Forget it, since you have no intention, then I will send you here. "

Sa Ed suddenly felt something bad and immediately became vigilant.

"What do you mean?"

"Master Sa'ed, I would like to say hello to you on behalf of my master.

Hello, and bye. "

The maid's eyes suddenly lit up, and a sharp war blade suddenly appeared on her arm, stabbing Saaid's chest fiercely.

It's a killer!

Saaid's pupils shrank, and his many years of combat experience allowed him to immediately activate the Hercules Shield to resist attacks.

No matter when, Hercules Aegis will always be the most trusted protective magic among mages.

However, the powerful shield in front of him melted like ice and snow under the maid's blade, and shattered in an instant.

"Gods, mythical troops."

Saaid looked at the sharp blade that had penetrated into his heart, with a stunned look on his face.

Feeling the constant loss of life force, Sa'ed stared desperately at the maid in front of him, as if asking why, as a noble mythical soldier, she wanted to assassinate a little person like him.

Why did she dare to assassinate herself on the road so openly after her meeting with the Great Sage? Wasn't she afraid of the Great Sage's investigation?

Who is she, and whose orders did she take? !

Facing Saaid's shocked and confused gaze, the maid smiled slightly and said nonchalantly:

“You are a good person, but unfortunately, our Bracada is not a place where good people can live.

Saed, you are in the wrong place.

In your next life, change to a better place. "

The long wind and snow drifted, and the snowflakes fell on Saaid's face, cold and desolate.

Sa'ed lay on his back in the snow, eyes wide open unwillingly, the dagger in his chest was about to drain his life force.

Before he died, Saaid murmured unwillingly:

"I obviously still have a lot of things to do, I still have a lot..."

The maid stared at Saaid with pity until he died completely with his eyes open, then slowly pulled out her dagger.

She turned around and said to the shadow behind her:

"Go ahead, don't leave any trouble."

…

…

"Father!"

Ai Lang suddenly woke up and was sweating profusely. At some point, he fell asleep wrapped in his father's coat.

"My father is dead, is this a dream?"

Sa'ilan murmured to himself in disbelief, but in his mind, another voice told him that this was not a dream.

He quickly took out a beautiful crystal bottle from his arms. The originally clear liquid in the crystal bottle had become extremely turbid.

"Father...is really gone."

When people are truly extremely sad, they will not cry, or even react immediately.

Sa'ilang held the crystal bottle tightly, feeling as if a piece of his heart had been hollowed out, empty.

He didn't cry.

He and his father had prepared for this day a long time ago.

In Ai Lang's mind, pictures from the past quickly emerged.

"If I die, I must calm down, Ellen. Escape from where you are as soon as possible, and then go to the nearest tavern to find the Thieves Guild.

They are a neutral organization that transcends forces, and Brakada cannot restrain them.

Don't trust anyone but them, not even my other friends.

I have bought life insurance for you a long time ago, and they will take you away from Bracada to the Holy City, the capital of Erathia.

Your grandparents, both Erathians, will take care of you until you grow up. "

"Dad, what if I can't find the Thieves Guild?"

"You will find it, my boy.

No matter where I go, I will stay in the hotel closest to the Thieves Guild. When passing by the Thieves Guild, I will also cough to remind you. "

"Escape the scene immediately, go downstairs, turn right, and find the sixth store in the third alley of Lengdong Street."

Sa'ilang took a deep breath and tightened the robe around him.

With no time to pack, he only took his father's coat and ran to the door without stopping.

The moment he touched the door, a picture suddenly came into his mind.

Downstairs in the hotel, the fat maid of the hotel was being pointed at by two mages with a magic book. She covered her mouth tightly and did not dare to make a sound.

On the stairs, two other black-robed mages were walking quickly upstairs.

"No, you can't take the stairs."

Sa'ilang broke into a cold sweat.

He came to the window, opened it, and looked out.

The biting wind and snow immediately rushed in through the window, making the furniture in the room rattle.

This is the fifth floor of the hotel. Outside the hotel, thick snow covers the street.

The exterior wall of the hotel is trapezoidal, which is higher than other surrounding buildings. Outside Saailan's window, you can still see the roofs of other houses.

It was late at night, except for some scattered lights, the entire Yongshuang City had fallen asleep peacefully.

"Bless me, father."

Sa'ilang gritted his teeth, wrapped his clothes tightly, climbed over the window, and slid down the wall.

Saailang wanted to fall on the roof and then jump from the roof to the ground, but the impact of the fall was too great. He failed to stop the car on other roofs and flew directly along the roof.

boom!

Fortunately, the thick snow acted as a buffer for Sa'alang, causing him to fall to the ground in embarrassment, but he was not injured.

Unfortunately, when Sa'ilang got up and looked back, he happened to meet the eyes of a black-robed mage who poked his head out of his room.

At that moment, a deathly chill penetrated Sa'ilang's bones.

In his eyes, he seemed to see the horrific scene of himself being squeezed to death by the black-robed mage.

"Run! Run!"

Sa'ilang's heart beat violently, and blood suddenly filled his body, causing his limbs that were numb from the cold to quickly regain consciousness.

Using his hands and feet, he stood up from the snow and ran wildly towards the place in his memory.

Fate always plays tricks on people.

"Lengdong Street, the first alley."

"Second alley."

Sa'alan's heart was beating fast.

He was extremely lucky that he still maintained his sanity in the panic and chose the window closest to Lengdong Street, which gave him hope of survival.

"The third alley!"

But when Sa'ilan finally arrived at his destination and was about to go in to look for the tavern, he saw three patrol goblins holding clubs in the sixth alley of Frozen Street, braving the wind and snow and walking slowly. Come out slowly.

Sa'ilang's breathing almost stopped. He quickly turned back and looked towards the path he came from.

Several black-robed mages just turned out of the alley of the hotel. The breeze surrounded their bodies, making them walk as fast as flying.

"do not care!"

Sa'ilang had no choice but to wrap up his clothes tightly and run into the alley.

Just when he was desperately trying to estimate whether he could defeat the three patrolling goblins, the goblins all made way for him to run through smoothly.

"Huh?! Let me go?"

Sa'ilang ran, and his pace slowed down.

His desperate expression froze on his face, mixed with shock, which looked a little funny.

Too shocked, he turned around stupidly, just in time to see the figure of the black-robed mage appearing at the entrance of the alley.

Also, the magic arrow that pierced the heart of the black-robed mage!

"Why are you still standing there? Let's go."

A voice sounded from behind Sa'ilang.

He turned around suddenly, and behind him, a goblin in white robes was looking up at him.

His white robe was so white that it even blended in with the white snow in the sky. If he hadn't taken the initiative to speak out and raised his head, Saailan believed that he wouldn't have been able to spot him even if he passed by.

"You are?!"

"Don't ask. We're just a bunch of nameless goblins.

Our lord promised your father that he would try his best to save you after he was unfortunately killed.

Don't worry about those mages, my companions will help you solve it without even leaving any traces.

move.

The caravan heading to Erathia is ready to set off. "

Father……

Sa'ilang felt warm in his heart, and the deep sadness that could not be eliminated finally completely enveloped his heart.

He has a father who loves him very much, is very upright, and very kind, a father that makes him extremely proud.

But now, he has lost him forever.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Sa'ilang didn't have time to think about why the extremely weak goblin in his heart had the power to kill those black-robed mages.

He could only suppress his red eyes and follow the goblin, heading towards the Thieves Guild step by step.

"The sixth room."

When they arrived at the door of the Thieves Guild, the lights suddenly came on in the closed tavern.

The door of the tavern slowly opened, and a row of masked thieves stared at Saalan silently, expressing their welcome silently.

"Go, little Ellen."

The goblin patted Ellen on the back.

"Go and start your new life.

Lord, let me tell you that you have a father who is very proud of you.

He hopes that in the future you will become even more proud than your father. "

Hearing the goblin's words, Sa'ilang woke up from a dream.

He turned around and asked:

"Who is the lord you are talking about? Can you tell me his name? I want to repay his kindness."

The goblin shook his head:

"Sorry, it depends on the lord whether I let you know or not. We have no decision-making power."

Sa Ailan felt disappointed. He understood that he was not qualified to know the name of his benefactor.

He bit his lip and asked again:

"What about you? Can I know your name? No matter how difficult it is, I will definitely find a way to repay you."

"Hahaha."

The goblin laughed:

“The moment I put on this white robe, I no longer had a name.

Our race, like your father, is committed to changing this cruel and depraved Bracada.

It's just that your father's methods are more radical.

And our methods are more radical.

Although I don't have a name, I can tell you my ethnic name.

We are called, Fairy Vanguard. "

"Fairy Vanguard..."

Sa'ilang froze on the spot.

When he heard the name, for some reason, many pictures appeared in his mind.

The mage's robes that were scorched by the fire were flying in the wind and dust,

The fragments of the magic lamp were stepped on and made a rustling sound,

Flags burning with fire were fluttering, and layers upon layers of soldiers fought in a bloody battle.

The naga's blade was shattered and the stone statue turned to ashes.

Titan bones piled up in mountains.

Thumb~thump~thump~thump~

The melodious bell rang again, and Brakada's clock finally reached twenty-four o'clock.

At twenty-four o'clock, it is the limit, and it must start again from 0 o'clock, no later. (End of chapter)
