"Don't they have a backup magic source?"
"They do," this ti Hilveld answered, "but it takes half an hour to activate."
At this mont, Baijia also put down the communication crystal and said to them with a stern face, "All the combat artisans have gone to the frontline. It will take at least a quarter of an hour for them to return, and the situation is tense there, they may not be able to break away."
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.
Each person deeply sensed the ticulousness of the opponent's plot, making every party present run around in circles.
With the combat artisans unable to return, it ant the backup floating ship couldn't be activated either. Although magic guided conductors and elentalists could fly short distances, flying to the seventy-seventh floor, nearly two to three hundred ters high, was almost impossible.
Upon hearing this, Fang Hong didn't say a word and imdiately started walking toward the east side of the square. The others, seeing this, roughly guessed what he had in mind and followed one by one. Only Baijia called after them, "Wait, where are you all going?"
"To the workshop."
"Is there still ti?"
Fang Hong shook his head, "I don't know, but we can't just sit and wait to die."
"The workshop is also in the inundation area," Baijia replied, "There might already be Thornfish People there, going like this might not work."
Baijia calmly looked at the others and said, "You are life profession practitioners, it's best you stay and inform others, see if anyone is willing to go with ."
Then she looked at Fang Hong, "You too, stay here, I'll go for you."
"But you can't activate the teleportation array," Fang Hong replied, "I'm a combat artisan."
Baijia was stunned.
She only pondered for a brief mont before nodding, "Alright, then I'll go with you."
Fang Hong then looked at Hilveld to see Miss Ship's Officer already pulling out that silver handgun from her back, giving him a slight smile. "That workshop belongs to the Westwood Sibika family." With just one sentence, she blocked any words he might have had.
Fang Hong opened his mouth, looked at the two, and could only nod.
"Let's do it this way—"
The group then imdiately dispersed.
In the live broadcast room, when the incident occurred, frontline staff received orders to start retrieving equipnt—after all, they were there to broadcast a match, not an incident.
However, retrieving the projection crystals and clockwork fairies from various places would take so ti, so there was still footage in the broadcast room. But at this ti, no staff was adjusting the cara angles, so the lens remained focused on the square.
Most of the audience in the broadcast room had left, while those remaining were eagerly discussing everything that had happened previously, as such events weren't common in their real life.
But just at this mont, soone suddenly said:
"Look, sothing seems to be happening over there."
Everyone looked in the said direction and imdiately saw a group on the square heading out. And the leader, whom they happened to know, was Fang Hong.
"What are they going to do?"
People were taken aback.
On the square, staff mbers were retrieving a clockwork fairy.
He naturally noticed the commotion in a corner of the square, but the matters of the natives had nothing to do with him, so he only glanced indifferently in that direction and intended to put the tools back in the box.
But at this mont, a hand reached over from the side and pressed his hand. The staff mber was startled, turned around to see it was the team's main person in charge.
"Wait a minute," the person said, also looking in that direction, gesturing lightly with his hand, "Let the fairy fly over and take a look."
"But——"
"Don't worry, I'll take responsibility for anything that happens."
...
Fang Hong eventually took Baijia's suggestion.
He communicated his analysis to the Elfendo Council and the military, both sides quickly ca to a similar conclusion as his.
However, while arranging manpower, the council directly gave him the highest authority—at the sa ti Su Changfeng also fully authorized him to mobilize the adventurers on the square, so Fang Hong quickly organized a team.
But after much consideration, he ultimately refused Sophie's suggestion to join the team.
"Even Sister Baijia can go, why can't I," this made the Princess of Silver Weslan very dissatisfied: "Do you have sothing against and Xi?"
Fang Hong could only explain to her that the square needed soone reliable to oversee the work of the Invoker.
After having so much dealing with the Dragon Worship Sect, he had also learned to be cautious, in case they still had sothing up their sleeve. Although Sophie reluctantly accepted this explanation, it was evident she still harbored animosity against him at the mont.
Therefore, Fang Hong also had Luo Yu and Gita stay on the square for similar reasons and for easier contact with Miss Atira and others. Afterward, he and the others headed in the direction of the Fanric Museum.
In fact, close by was Cold Raven Street, where they had experienced a battle just days before, and the traces of that battle could still be clearly seen. Not to ntion the ruined buildings that couldn't be cleared within days.
The second ti walking through this place, Fang Hong felt sowhat emotional. He wondered if he was having bad luck, as nothing seed peaceful wherever he went, and such events happened twice in just a few days.
But compared to last ti, this journey was much more peaceful.
In fact, up until they reached the small square in front of the Fanric Museum, they didn't encounter any enemies. The undead from that day seed to have vanished in the sunlight without a trace.
Yet Fang Hong knew well — going further wouldn't be as smooth.
The street in front of the Fanric Museum called Wave Boulevard coincidentally marked the edge of the inundation area when the floods ca.
As Fang Hong, Baijia, Hilveld, and a few others passed through a small alley, they saw streams of water flowing across the slates. A low-lying area beyond looked like a vast expanse of water.
"The water is waist-deep," an adventurer waded back from ahead, telling the group: "You can wade through."
Fang Hong, having retracted the clockwork fairy, looked ahead and told the group, "Be careful, there seems to be signs of Fishn activity to our southeast."
Everyone nodded in agreent.
