Pillar of Yita Chapter 1636 288: Big Shot2

Xiangzi wore a long robe, and without relying on magic, agility cannot be effectively utilized.

As for the others, there's even less to ntion.

Luo Hao nearly had both his knees sunk into the sand—

Elisa walked along and inconspicuously dropped into position alongside Fang Hong, asking, "Lord Captain, is there truly such a Ten Kings?"

Fang Hong nodded, "He's called mainloop, a European player, and isn't a full-ti Invoker. It's said he was originally a programr—he entered the Stargate for the first ti at twenty-four, but during his era, people like him were actually the mainstream of pioneers."

"Ancient Tis?"

"Yes."

"No wonder I've never heard of him," Elisa glanced at him curiously, "Lord Captain knows even this? But the professions back then must have been quite different from now, right?"

"Indeed," Fang Hong didn't deny it, after all, the career design of Invokers evolved with the developnt of Super Competitive. But undeniably, among them, there's always so special existence, and this 'Thief King' known as mainloop is one of them.

"During his ti, it wasn't particularly ancient. It was at the end of the Pioneer era, the comrcialization of Super Competitive had already ford, and as one of the Ten Kings of a generation, he caught the first wave of Super Competitive."

"What was his profession?"

"Have you heard of the Wanderer faction of artifact users?"

Elisa's eyes slightly brightened, "Dossier Thief?"

What she ntioned as Dossier Thief is a very special branch of Arcane Thief, which is a faction of Nightingale that practices spells, but there are also Nightingale that practices alchemy, which is the Dossier Thief that fights using various alchemy props and magic scrolls.

This kind of Nightingale has undeniably high combat strength, but they have one flaw.

That is the common flaw of Alchemists.

Burns money.

But Fang Hong shook his head seriously; with the current spending of the Seven Seas Travel Group, bringing in another Dossier Thief might instantly lead to bankruptcy.

He replied in a low voice, "Trap Master."

Elisa was stunned.

...

After walking with the group for a while, Fang Hong finally stopped.

He glanced at Miss Nightingale beside him and noticed she was still pondering, so he didn't continue the conversation—after all, career planning is considered a 'major life event' in Eteliria, and he could only offer suggestions.

However, the 'Trap Master', this ancient profession that people have long forgotten, is actually very suitable for this team.

He lifted his head again to look at the unchanged scenery around them. In the desert, the sights are only the undulating sand dunes, interesting at first glance, but monotonous and dull after a long view. Looking back, Tansnier Port had almost disappeared below the horizon—but that was just an illusion; they had walked only half a day from the city, not possibly covered such a long distance.

Fang Hong knew that the gray-yellow port was just buried beneath the endless sand.

Only then did he take out the Communication Crystal and asked, "Hilveld, can you see us?"

From within the crystal quickly ca a rustling sound: "You are directly north of , Lord Captain."

Fang Hong looked to the south, finding a bright reflection from the desert, which should be the reflection from a monocular telescope lens, and it was likely Miss Ship's Officer intentionally removed the covering to let them see it.

Since Xiesta, Tang Xin, and Ai Xiaoxiao were in that direction, he didn't worry about Miss Ship's Officer's safety, but asked again, "Is our direction correct?"

"It should be right."

The reason they appeared here traces back to not long ago—

At that ti, he had just received news from Hilveld that Achilles invited them to et at the 'villa' of the Grand Princess.

However, he didn't set out imdiately, instead gathering everyone and making so arrangents—after all, he had already sensed that Arcanists were searching for traces of 'Demons'—and what are demons? rely fallen, twisted creatures.

At least in Tansnier, the only connection he could make was those alchemy lives sacrificed by Blind Followers.

Though he didn't know the intentions of the Arcanists, he certainly wouldn't give up this inadvertently discovered critical clue. Therefore, while he went with Hilveld to the 'villa' of the Grand Princess, he had Parker and others take two routes.

On one side, Luo Yu and Luo Hao went to the Artisan Association to see if the Arcanists had left that place.

On the other, Parker and Xiangzi went to block the Door of the Eye of Revelation, since that was the headquarters of the Arcanists. Any movents from them could be detected.

After all, with two searches, the Arcanists must have more information than he does. Moreover, the day they went to the Sand Lodge, the opponents seed already to have started intervening in the incident; perhaps they even encountered those slave traders that day.

The locations on the scan map are just a general range, largely unusable directly. Thus, Fang Hong had a simple idea: follow these Arcanists and maybe achieve twice the results with half the effort.

With this purpose, he sent everyone out with a give-it-a-try ntality.

But unexpectedly, it actually worked.

After bidding farewell to Alfan, news soon ca from Tianlan and Ai Xiaoxiao stationed at the shipyard—the Arcanists had left the Tansnier Crafting Association.

And monts later, the Papalarians and Xiangzi also sent information:
