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

Odin shook his head and only replied: "He may have escaped."

Fios then patted her chest, looking relieved.

…

Fang Plover was leading Sylvide and Enan in a hurry through the southern part of Duron.

Among the three, although Ainan is a local, he rarely leaves the Duke's mansion on weekdays. When he does go out, he goes to his villa in the countryside. There are carriages accompanying him all the way. It can be said that he never leaves home. And Sylvide

The memory of this city dates back ten years and is even more unreliable.

Therefore, among the three of them, only Fang Plover could distinguish some routes through the Clockwork Fairy. But under the vast night, with low winter clouds and snowflakes, the Clockwork Fairy could only see a dark city with occasional two or three lights.

fire.

Originally, when the celebration just started, Dulon might still be brightly lit, but with the turmoil, who would dare to light the lights at this time? The few lights in the darkness must also be the city guard barracks, or the station of patrolling cavalry.

These places.

Instead of being able to lead the way for them, it can only lead them into a trap.

However, through the reflection of the ice of a river in the south, Fang Plover could vaguely discern the direction in which they were leaving the square, heading towards Nancheng District. Therefore, he made a prompt decision to break out from the south gate and leave Dullon.

Neither Miss Ship Officer nor Ainan had any objections and just followed his arrangements. The three of them walked through several blocks in a row under the vast darkness. With the clockwork goblin opening the way, the process went very smoothly without any obstacles along the way.

The city guards set up some checkpoints at several street intersections, but they were all ineffective. On the other hand, the patrolling cavalry that Fang Lu was originally worried about seemed to be a bit slow in movement and has not been mobilized until now, which gave them great convenience.

.

Just when he was walking through an alley on a routine basis, Fang Plover led the way for a few steps before suddenly stopping in the darkness. The two people behind him naturally stopped as well. Enan looked at him and asked

One sentence: "What's the matter, Mr. Captain?"

Fang Yu shook his head slightly, feeling a little confused. A moment ago, he felt that he had lost control of a clockwork fairy. However, it was difficult for him to tell for a moment whether it was because he accidentally exceeded the distance or because of something else.

reason.

Because there is more than one clockwork fairy in the sky, and the flexible structure cannot independently maintain the connection with the operator. Within a generally circular range, it is entirely possible to accidentally lose one or two clockwork fairies.

things.

Especially when the controller himself is still moving.

But the overall position of the missing clockwork goblin was behind the three of them. This direction always made him feel a little uneasy.

He told Sylvide and Enan what he was thinking, and the latter listened to his words, thought for a while and replied: "Maybe we have to move in a different direction."

"Change the direction?"

"There is a sluice near the south gate. In winter, the water freezes and the gate never closes. I heard that some smugglers often use it to enter and exit the city at night." Ainan thought for a moment before making his suggestion.

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

"The City Guards have reported this matter to my father several times, but no one has ever repaired it," Ainan replied: "After the spring of last year, this matter was shelved until I reported it last month.

See related reports"

"you sure?"

"Unless they've finished repairing it this month."

Fang Yu thought for a while and felt that it was impossible. It was delayed from last year to this year, and it was not repaired. In the previous month, there was an undercurrent in Du Lun, and the Mordekaiser family was under the supervision of the consul, so they had to give up part of their control.

Control of the City Guards.

Under such circumstances, would anyone care about such a trivial matter?

However, he looked back at the direction in which his Clockwork Fairy had disappeared, and felt a little unsure for a moment. Before the city guards could mobilize, heading to the south gate to break out of the encirclement seemed to be a wise choice.

But the plan to go to the sluice sounds like it would be easier to get rid of the pursuers. Will it be a waste of time if we just change the route? And what is the situation on the other side of the sluice in the end is hard to say.

He couldn't help but ask his ship officer: "Silverde, what do you think?"

Sylvester's eyes were bright and she tilted her head slightly: "The captain has the final say."

Okay, so I didn’t ask.

And the end of the direction where Fang Plover's eyes can reach

A few blocks away, a sphere split in two was falling and rolling into the snow and dust, while a leather boot with a metal guard was stepping into the snow on the side.

, the owner of the boots bent down and picked up half of the sphere.

Hold it in your hand.

Odin sheathed his sword, picked up the half of the construct, and examined it carefully. Then he raised his head and looked at the dark sky.

Behind him, the consul was coming with a group of knights and city guards. The latter was riding a horse. Seeing the construct in his hand, he was a little confused: "The clockwork goblin is from the Alchemist Alliance?"

Odin nodded, there was a possibility, but he was the president of a guild after all, so he was well-informed, so he naturally saw that the internal structure of the clockwork goblin in his hand had some strange components. These unnecessary components

, which increases the structural weight of the flexible structure, which seems somewhat unnecessary for clockwork fairies who pursue speed.

However, combat craftsmen will more or less modify their own flexible structures, which doesn't mean much.

He threw away the construct, then turned around and asked, "Do you know the direction of the other party?"

The previous report came from below, saying that a week or two ago, someone in the Ash Mountain Forest group killed a new member of their ragnarok group, and that new member group was still an elite reserve. As the leader of the group, Odin naturally knew about this.

Moreover, the little princess of Silver Veslan seemed to have appeared in that battle, which also attracted his attention. He wanted to see who the other party was.

At least this matter made him more interested than participating in those unnecessary battles in Dulon City.

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

After listening to his question, the consul shook his head: "The witness was as timid as a mouse. He was worried about being discovered by those people. He kept hanging far behind and couldn't figure out where the other party went. At the moment, from what we roughly know

Judging from the information, the other party should have gone to the south gate."

Odin didn't take it seriously after hearing this: "The opponent is a combat craftsman. It is the right choice not to pursue him." He looked at the structure that was split in two on the ground and replied: "Judging from this clockwork goblin,

If he had followed, he would have been noticed by the other party."

"That is really wise," the Archon sneered: "What are your plans, Mr. Odin."

He probably also knows that when it comes to dealing with the people of the Alchemist Alliance, the current Holy Chosen One is more reliable than the City Guards.

Odin thought for a moment and replied: "Since the other party is going to the south gate, Mr. Archon can first lead people to outflank the opponent from several directions to block the opponent's retreat direction. I will take the first step to see if I can go around.

Get in front of those people."

"Then please." The consul thought for a moment and nodded in approval.

So Odin didn't stay long, just nodded and turned around to leave. After all, for him, and even for Ragnarok, this was nothing more than a mission.
