Originally, given the endangered situation of Orida Fortress, Link shouldn't be in charge of Job people's affairs.
However, he faintly had a very bad feeling.
He felt that Emmons blocked the news of the entire Black Forest not only to prepare for the final offensive, but he was probably taking advantage of the human race's fear of artifacts to quietly attack the cities of the Job people.
If in the final attack, the dark elves possess powerful magic cannons and airships, it will be a disaster for Orida Fortress and even the entire Norton Kingdom!
This hidden worry makes Link have to figure out the situation of the Job people.
After waiting patiently in the forest for half an hour, the screaming winged demons in the sky finally left. They did not go to the northeast of the Black Forest as Link wanted, but flew all the way to the northwest.
This shows that they probably have follow-up tasks, which aggravates Link's worries.
"Come on, let's take a look." Link whispered.
Fankenos opened the way ahead, and Link followed behind him. Under the cover of the bushes in the forest, the two cautiously walked into the vicinity of the still burning wreckage of the airship.
At this time, the flames on the wreckage of the airship had weakened a lot, and there was no burning sensation nearby.
Walking to the side of the corpse of a Job, Fankenos began to observe carefully: "This Job is wearing a one-piece engineering suit. This is an engineer. Here is a badge, a pair of blue wings and a gear, Master , do you know it?"
Link recalled the memory of the game in his previous life, and quickly found the corresponding information: "The emblem of the flying wing gear should be the mark of Bolor City, the city of the sky. Bolor City is one of the main cities of the Job people, especially Good at making magic airships... The situation is not good, keep looking for clues, we need to know what's going on."
Fankenos nodded, and he circled around the airship, examining the corpses one by one.
There are more than a dozen corpses of demons on the ground. They have nothing on them except the horny armor that is unique to demons, so they can only see the type, but can't find more information. There were seven or eight corpses of the dark elves, and there was an emblem on their leather armor, which was a circle of moonlight flowers wrapped around a blood-splattered sword.
"This is a member of the dark elves' elite flying regiment, Moonlight Wings. Why did they come here?" Fankenos' voice was full of surprise, and the worry on his face became very serious. Obviously, he had already thought of it. some kind of possibility.
After searching for a while, he suddenly said, "Master, look, there is a letter hidden in this Job man."
The letter was very secret, it was hidden in the clothes compartment of Job's body, and the body of Job had been rummaged by the demon just now, but the other side insisted on not discovering the existence of the letter.
This shows the ability of this guy Fankenos, he has an almost intuitive sensitivity and can easily find key clues.
He handed the envelope to Link, which also had the emblem of Sky City on it, and there was no magic mark on the seal, so it didn't show any magic aura.
Open the letter and pull out the letter paper, but it is blank, nothing.
"Empty letter paper? Why is the empty letter paper hidden so secretly?" Fan Kenos was also looking at it, and he was very surprised.
"It's not an empty letter." Link shook his head. Every enchanting master has an almost instinctive sensitivity to the properties of materials, and Link is the same. The moment he got this letter, he felt that there was a mystery hidden in it. .
"Attribute detection" Link used a level 1 enchantment.
There was a light 'ding' sound, and a group of powdery light spots appeared out of thin air, sprinkled on the letter paper like gold powder, and a strange situation immediately appeared.
Sure enough, there was something written on the empty letter paper. Because of the different properties of the material, the ability to absorb light spots for attribute detection is also different, and the writing appeared on the letter paper immediately.
The letter was written in the Job language, and Fankenos became blind, but Link could understand it, and he whispered it in the lingua franca of the human race.
"Dear Marshal of the Human Race, our family has been violently attacked by the dark army. We don't know how many people came from the other side, but from the current point of view, at least more than 30,000 people, half of them are demons. Our city is in danger. Outside the city Almost all the inhabitants of the small villages and towns were killed... Larique is also in danger... As the chairman of the Alpine Council, I implore the help of the Legion."
This is a request for help, and the object of the request is Duke Abel of Orida Fortress.
Link turned his head to look at the airship again. Judging from the wreckage, this is not the main combat airship of the Job people, but a very fast assault airship. It looks much slender than the airship Link made before. There should be fewer magic cannons installed.
Obviously, it broke out and tried to ask for help, but unfortunately it still failed to escape the interception of the dark army.
The more Fankenos thought about it, the more surprised he became: "It's no wonder that there has been no movement in the Black Forest during this period of time. I didn't expect that they would attack the cities of the Job people without telling us. They must want to get the magic artillery and combat airships of the Job people. !"
Link also nodded, and he continued: "There are still too few things written in the letter, let's go all the way to see if there are any Job survivors."
The Job airship fell into flames before it crashed. They flew all the way, exploding, and dropping things to the ground, so the clues are very obvious.
The two followed the airship parts that could be seen everywhere on the ground and searched northwestward.
After walking for more than a mile, the two of them came to a large area of thick grass. Fankenos suddenly stopped, and he said softly, "Master, I feel very bad, I seem to be being targeted."
Link also felt that the other party had some strange means to see through his invisible invisibility magic. However, although he felt that he was being watched, Link didn't feel much danger.
After thinking for a while, he said, "It should be a surviving Jober. If I'm not mistaken, the magic musket in his hand must be pointed at our heads."
"It doesn't feel good to be pointed at the head with the musket of the Job people." Fankenos's handsome face was full of wry smiles and embarrassment.
In Ferroman, the magic musket was first invented by the dwarves. The dwarves and the Job people both lived in the Hengduan Mountains, and their business and trade exchanges were very frequent. Because the magic musket was powerful and did not require high physical fitness, it became a slender figure. The favorite of the Job people, the Job people carried forward the magic muskets and created a large number of powerful muskets. By the way, the Job musketeers also made a name for themselves on the mainland.
In Ferroman, 'to be pointed at the head by the musket of a Job' has become a slang term meaning 'mortal death'.
Link kept looking for Job's location. After about three seconds, the wand in his hand moved suddenly, and a sesame-sized light spot flew out without a sound.
With a soft sound of '嗡~', the ball of space spread and successfully restrained a target in the grass 50 meters away. Immediately afterwards, a ball of fire came out from behind the grass. The musketeer was frightened and subconsciously fired shot.
Too bad this didn't do anything.
"Go, he's over there."
Fankenos had already rushed over, and when he reached the grass, he saw two Job men hiding in the grass, a man and a woman. The man was covered in blood and lay motionless on the ground, while the woman squatted on the ground. , a big musket with a glass scope was resting on his lap, and the muzzle was aiming at the position where they had stayed before.
Of course, these two people are no longer any threat, because they have been restrained by the ball of space, and their slow movements are as if they are fixed.
In this strange space, Fankenos saw a wonder.
He saw that at the muzzle of the female Job, a beautiful flame was slowly blooming, and in the flame, a rotating magic bullet was flying forward bit by bit.
It seems that the speed is very slow, but the bullet successfully hits circles of air ripples in the air, which looks extremely beautiful.
"Master Link's magic is really beyond imagination." Fankenos sighed inwardly.
Link also came over, saw two people in the grass, observed for a while, and said: "The man's injury is too serious, the blood is almost gone, and it is hopeless. This woman's penetrating wound on her leg is not treated. Otherwise, it is estimated that he will not survive for three days."
While speaking, Link released a silence barrier on the Job, and then canceled the space constraint.
The Job musketeers picked up speed, but in the silence barrier, the sound of the musket disappeared without a trace, and Link then canceled the silence barrier.
"Who are you?" The musketeer's face was covered with blood, she looked vigilant, she was not stupid, when she asked, she pointed the musket at the ground.
Link introduced himself: "I am Lord Field, Link Moleney, as you can see, I am a magician."
Fan Kennuosi also introduced himself: "I am Fan Kennuosi, the famous ranger from the mainland... Uh, hello, are you listening to me, why are you crying? Do I have such a great charm?"
Before he finished speaking, the Job musketeer looked at them intently, and tears gushed out of his big, bright eyes unique to the Job.
"Master Link, our city is over." The female Jober ignored Fankenos at all, she sobbed: "The army of darkness broke through the city of the sky, killing anyone they see, my father, mother, brother They killed them all, and they ate my younger brother... woo woo woo... They're all dead, the city is in flames, and my home is gone."
Who is Fan Knoss? She didn't know it at all, but the reputation of Link, the lord of Field and the most powerful battle magician of the human race, had already spread throughout the continent, especially Link and the Job people have been cooperating frequently, and Elendor, the daughter of destiny Er has always made a name for him, so the people of Job are very familiar with him.
In the eyes of the Job people, the image of Link is strong, fair, kind, generous, wise, etc., all of which are positive impressions anyway.
At this time, the Job Musketeer had just experienced a great tragedy in her life. Seeing such a reliable and powerful person at this time, her tense emotions collapsed and she burst into tears.
Fankenos was a little bit lost at first, but listening to him, he was also silent. Although he joined the army not long ago, he has already experienced a lot of misery.
He thought of the comrades who died on the northern battlefield, their dying screams, and the desperate cries of the recruits when they faced the demons.
He still remembered that during a mission, one of his subordinates was a very smart girl named Lily. She had lake blue eyes and a small cherry mouth. She likes him very much, always chasing after him to ask questions, affectionately calling him big brother, she even dedicated her body to him, when the love was strong, Fankenos even moved to marry this girl idea.
But in the black forest, she was torn to pieces by a terrifying heart demon, and her head was in a different place. That beautiful head finally rolled to his hiding place, and those lake-blue eyes looked at him blankly, It seemed to be questioning why he didn't save her.
Fankenuosi's eyes were hot, and his vision was a little blurry.
"I'll go around to see if there's anything going on." Fankenos didn't want to cry in front of people, so he said something and turned to check the situation.
Link couldn't escape, so he could only act as the image of a benevolent elder at this time, and patted the musketeer on the shoulder lightly: "It will be fine, everything will be fine. Now, I will treat the wound for you, you and Let me tell you about your situation, okay?"
"Yeah." The Musketeer wiped away his tears and nodded.
