Chapter 47: Sudden martial law(1/2)
The snowstorm lasted for two days and began to subside on the third day. On the morning of the fourth day, Fang Plover finally saw the Princess of Silver Vislan. She was standing in the snow, carrying the sick Akane on her back, wearing armor.
Wearing a thick fur coat, his face was still red from the cold.
The two of them walked to the platform under the escort of the lumberjacks. The big cat man first put down the hanging basket and picked up the mountain girl. Then he dropped the ladder and let the latter climb up too.
Sylvide came over and put her hand on the pale forehead of the mountain girl. Sophie looked at her nervously. Seeing her expression, the ship officer couldn't help but smile softly and shook her head to express that it was nothing serious, as long as
Just take a good rest for a while.
Sophie breathed a sigh of relief and thanked her sincerely: "Thank you, Sylvester." The two had known each other when they were underground in Fenris, but it was only when they saw her in person that Sophie was shocked to see each other's beauty.
and temperament.
Sylvide only smiled: "You're welcome."
Attila and Alyssa sent Qian to the infirmary. Sophie watched the three figures disappear below the deck, then looked away, and said to Fang Plover and Sylvide: "Find a more private room, I have
Let me show you something." Only then did Fang Yu notice that she was carrying a bag of things in her hand, wrapped in an old blanket.
"Let's go to the captain's cabin." Sylvide said proactively.
"Captain?" Sophie looked at Fang Plover a little funny.
Fang Yu blushed. This was the reason why he didn't want the captain's cabin: "Don't...don't care too much, it's just that everyone calls it that..." Fortunately, Sophie didn't mean to embarrass him.
He smiled and said: "...It seems that you have a high prestige?"
Fang Plover coughed heavily.
However, he quietly took the next step and asked Sylvide behind him: "When did you learn medical skills?" Sylvide's eyes were crescent like crescent moons, and she shook her head: "What did the captain say?"
"Before that?"
Sylvester smiled and glanced in front of her: "Miss Sophie is just confused if she cares. Qian just has a low fever. There are medicines on the platform, and Attila can cure diseases. What's the problem?"
Fang Yu looked at her, wondering if this was just a legendary placebo? And it seemed to be effective on people who were not sick.
But he had already experienced the cunningness of the ship officer lady.
The three of them walked through the storage room and came to the workshop. Sophie took a look at the place and was a little surprised. Although she had seen pictures of this platform before, seeing it with her own eyes was another matter - it was so fully functional.
The platform is rare even in Silver Vislan.
The space in this place is not large, but it is indeed comfortable. All the tools in the workshop are available in various sizes and are firmly fixed. There are also some cabinets and hooks on the wall, hanging large and small parts, so you can take them at your fingertips.
One side of the workshop leads to the captain's cabin, which is covered with thick carpets. The cabinets and desks are filled with rows of books. Brass heating pipes pass through the room, and the warmth makes the ice on the girl's eyebrows melt.
Dissolve.
There was a small flower bed on the desk, and a bunch of green vines still hung out of it in the harsh winter, which was pleasing to the eye. Sophie walked over and touched the spines of the rows of books on the bookshelf, feeling a little envious in her heart.
Of course, it's not that Silver Vislan lacks financial resources, but that it can't be used, because Silver Vislan has serious aerostats.
But she suddenly felt that such a platform also had certain practicality, and at least it was cheap - Silver Vislan had an aeroplane, which was good, but only the elite team was eligible to enjoy it, and it had nothing to do with her youth training team.
"Your place is really nice." Sophie praised sincerely.
It was nice to be complimented by Her Royal Highness the Princess of Silver Vislan. Fang Pultru was a little flattered, but he had not forgotten the business and couldn't help but ask: "What do you want to show us?"
"It's this thing."
Sophie then opened the cloth bag and poured all the things in her hands onto the ground. Fang Piao heard a sound of metal collision and discovered that there was a pile of tattered armor inside the blanket, including breastplates, helmets, and waistbands.
The armor skirt and foot and hand guards are all included, so it should be a full body armor.
"What's this?"
Fang Yu asked. He saw the magic guidance path on the inside of the armor and the sockets for installing different components, and realized that this was just an ordinary magic armor, not a valuable antique - or an ancient artifact.
Sophie clapped her hands and took a breath before describing in detail what happened that night to the two of them.
After hearing what she said, Fang Yu couldn't help but be stunned: "You said you were attacked by an armor?"
He stretched out his feet and fiddled with the empty breastplate on the blanket. It was almost rusted to the point of being damaged. When he fiddled with it, it made a worrying rustling sound like it was about to fall apart. There was a phoenix relief on the front of the breastplate, and
Apart from being particularly shabby, there doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary.
Fang Plover had a hard time imagining how it would look like it was combined with other components of the armor to stand up and attack people.
"It's not necessarily an attack," Sophie replied: "To be precise, it staggered up to me and fell down. Then nothing happened."
"that's all?"
Sophie nodded.
She thought for a moment and added: "You may think I'm making a fuss out of a molehill? But I checked around the cave afterwards and there was no one else there. In other words, how could this armor go through a blizzard alone?"
"Even if this is a prank, would you do such a prank in such bad weather?"
It is indeed very suspicious. In the forests around the Grand Valley, there are very few adventurers in the wilderness, not to mention that in the harsh winter, it is even more inaccessible. How could anyone come here to play pranks.
Fang Plover carefully inspected the armor. There were some magical structures inside it, but they were only the necessary components for ordinary magical armor to transmit and use magic power. This was not a construct armor, because there was no connection between the upper and lower parts inside.
The transmission structure also has no power core.
"Could it be a binding spirit?" he asked.
"I'm a paladin." Sophie glared at him.
Fang Yu slapped his forehead and realized that he had asked a stupid question. If they were undead, the other party should have detected them long ago, so why would they come to ask them?
"But I do recognize the emblem on this armor," he replied: "This is the armor of the Dulon City Guards. The phoenix is the emblem of the city of Duron. The owner of this armor may be a knight captain, because most people can't afford it.
Such full-body magic armor."
"There's a name on the neck brace, but it's so rusty that it can't be seen clearly."
"I can solve this." Isn't it just rust removal? It's just an alchemist's trick.
Fang Plover walked to the closet, took out a bottle from the second compartment, shook it, poured the translucent liquid inside onto the armor, then took the knife from Sylvester's hand and scraped it gently.
After a few clicks, a bright metallic color will be revealed under the rusty spots.
Sophie watched from the sidelines as the two of them cooperated seamlessly. Thinking of herself and Qian, she couldn't help but feel a little envious.
After the scratching, the metal still has a shallow layer of inscriptions on it, and the letters on it can be vaguely seen: '——Roche Le Mordecais'. "Mordecais," Sophie said in her eyes
With a slight flash: "I have heard of the name of this family."
"Phoenix Family," Sylvide had already answered on her behalf: "Mordecais means 'Phoenix' in Ithurian. This family is the founder of Duron and still controls the Phoenix.
The overwhelming power of the city.”
The so-called Phoenix City is naturally another name for Du Lun. The aborigines prefer this name to Du Lun, but the other two people can also understand it.
"A member of the Phoenix family also holds a position in the city guard." Sophie replied, "I'm afraid this person's identity is not simple."
Sylvester nodded in approval.
Fang Yu stood up and felt a little strange looking at the armor. "I always feel that this armor looks familiar," he asked the ship officer at the side: "Have we seen similar things somewhere?"
Sylvide thought for a moment, then recalled it, and replied: "It should be in Dolifen's underground, Tianlan and Attila have seen exactly the same thing."
Fang Yu also remembered that piece of armor. It was indeed similar, but it was older. Thinking of that incident, he couldn't help but think of Hongye and Dict. Since one of them returned to Tapolis and the other to Elpaxin
, I haven’t contacted them in several months.
However, they actually had no means of contacting each other, especially after his communication crystal was damaged. He added Hongye, but the other party never replied since he left for Charter City.
In addition, Dickert also gave him a letter of introduction, which was addressed to Sir Robin. But when he was in Grande, the latter seemed to be busy with some affairs between the palaces, and never got the chance to meet them, so that letter
The letter of introduction is actually useless——
He retracted his thoughts and looked at this piece of armor. If it happened only once, it could be said to be a coincidence, but if such things appeared one after another, it would be a bit suspicious.
Moreover, the last time this thing appeared in Dolifen, that place was deeply influenced by the Dragon Cult. Of course, there is no evidence that the underground armor has any relationship with the Dragon Cult, but the possibility cannot be ruled out.
He looked at Sophie: "Did you find anything else at that time?"
"Other discoveries?" Sophie frowned and thought for a moment: "There seems to be some... but I'm not sure. At that time, I felt some strange sounds in the snowstorm, like footsteps, but also like whispers, like
It’s the same as calling someone’s name…”
"Call to whom?"
"I am not very sure."
Fang Plover and Sylvide looked at each other. Attila also heard such a call at that time. It was for this reason that Dickert thought that the armor was an evil object and took it back to the Artisan General Assembly for inspection.
I just don’t know if there will be any results later.
He squatted down again to inspect the area where the rust had been removed. Sure enough, behind the luster of the metal under the rust layer, there was a layer of magic patterns faintly revealed. The strange magic patterns were exactly the same as the armor they had seen before.
But those are definitely not traces left by magic technology. The magic guidance path is clearly visible and will never leave such a colorful light similar to oil stains.
"Have you seen this thing?" Sophie couldn't help but ask.
"I've seen it," Fang Yu nodded without raising his head: "But we don't know what it is. We only know that it may be an evil object."
"Evil things," Sophie frowned: "There is a possibility." There are thousands of monsters in Aitalia, ranging from living creatures to undead, but most of them have written records in various documents.
Only evil things, those hidden existences, can be separated from ordinary people's cognition. They may be gifts from a dark god, or they may just be the fallacy of divine power - divine evil.
This kind of thing is always creepy. Even though it is a chosen one, Sophie couldn't help but ask: "What should we do with this thing?"
