Plop!!
Amidst the water flow, Fangzheng was thrown out and fell heavily to the ground. Before Fangzheng could stand up, a dark shadow appeared behind him and hit Fangzheng in the chest, pressing him down again.
"Cough, cough, cough … I'm really unlucky this time."
After the torrent of water dissipated, Fangzheng looked up and coughed a few times before grumbling. Fangzheng was no longer in the same state as before. He had put on his clothes again. It seemed that he had left the area, so Fangzheng's clothes had returned.
"Ugh … Captain …"
"Iona?"
Only then did Fangzheng see Iona sprawled on his chest. Her eyes looked like they were going round and round. From the looks of it, she had suffered quite a bit. When she heard Fangzheng's voice, Iona blinked and seemed to come back to her senses. She slowly raised her head.
"Captain?"
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine …"
Iona shook her head slightly and stood up. Only then did Fangzheng turn his head and look around. They seemed to be in a huge underground sewer. From the sleek design that didn't have a single straight line, it was obvious that it was the same design as the goddess's bathroom that Fangzheng and company had been in. Thankfully, there weren't any strange and distorted lines. It looked rather pleasing to the eye.
But Fangzheng did not see Fina and the others here, which made him a little worried.
"Nimf, Javelin? Where are you? Are you okay? "
Closing his eyes, Fangzheng immediately contacted his subordinates. Soon, he got a response from Nimf.
"Master, Javelin, Miss Fina and I are all together. No one is injured, but we seem to have been teleported to another place …"
"That's good."
Hearing Nimf's answer, Fangzheng breathed a sigh of relief. He stretched out his hand and waved it in the air. Soon, a series of magical lights appeared and then disappeared quickly.
"So teleportation is still forbidden? Although that's within my expectations. "
Fangzheng was not surprised that his teleportation was forbidden. This was the residence of the Goddess, so there would naturally be spells to isolate teleportation. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if the Goddess was teleported over and killed by something. Judging from the design of this place, there did not seem to be many guards around the Goddess. Those whimpering creatures that the goddess called "Bobby" had no combat power at all, so there must be an automatic defense system in operation.
"Stay there and don't move. I'll go find you. If anything happens, report to me immediately."
After saying this, Fangzheng stretched out his hand. Soon, a translucent chain appeared in Fangzheng 'hand and pointed in one direction of the passage.
"To be honest, I really didn't expect to have to use this thing again and again."
Looking at the chain in his hand, Fangzheng was filled with emotion. At first, he felt that it was inhumane to use a chain to restrain a little angel. But to Fangzheng's surprise, the chain actually worked several times. Thinking about it this way, although Nimfu looked a little pitiful with that big iron collar, it was very useful.
"Let's go, Iona."
"Yes, Captain."
Upon hearing Fangzheng's words, Iona nodded. Then, she followed behind Fangzheng, and the two of them walked in the direction pointed by the chain.
The whole sewer was silent. There was no other sound except for Fangzheng and Iona's footsteps. Fangzheng held the chain and moved forward while observing the surroundings. Iona followed quietly behind Fangzheng, staring at his back with a complicated expression.
"… What's the matter? Iona? "
Of course, Fangzheng noticed Iona's gaze. In fact, Iona's behavior had been a little strange from the beginning of this adventure. In the past, Iona rarely took the initiative to ask to participate in any mission, but this time, she took the initiative to come along. Of course, Fangzheng was not completely clueless about Iona's thoughts. He also wanted to find a chance to talk to Iona, and in Fangzheng's opinion, this was a good opportunity.
Iona was silent for a moment in response to Fangzheng's question. Then, she said softly.
"… Captain, is Iona not able to help you?"
"Why would you have such a thought?"
Upon hearing Iona's question, Fangzheng turned to look at her. Sensing Fangzheng's gaze, Iona lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.
"Because … Captain hasn't been acting with me lately …."
"Uh …."
Hearing this answer, Fangzheng was a little speechless. In the Blue World, he and Iona had been grinding activity dungeons together for about 300 days. At that time, Fangzheng basically lived on Iona. But after returning to the Tendo Temple, because there were a lot of things to do, and there was no place for the Sea Mist Fleet to appear in for the time being, Fangzheng naturally did not always stay by Iona's side like before.
For Fangzheng, this was his daily routine, but for Iona, this change was obviously unacceptable.
Of course, this situation was not unique to Iona, but the problem was that she was not the same as others, such as Xia Shi and Bushcui. Although they were reluctant to leave Fangzheng, they also liked to live a peaceful life. Therefore, even if there were no battles, these children could still enjoy a leisurely life in the Tendo Temple.
But the Sea Mist Fleet was different. The mental models of the Sea Mist Fleet had always thought of themselves as weapons, and no gun would like to be wiped clean and put away. On the contrary, they could only show their value on the battlefield.
But at present, there was no place on Fangzheng's side for the Sea Mist Fleet to show off for the time being. Perhaps the other mental models did not care much, but for Iona, who had always regarded Fangzheng as her captain, this made her feel uneasy that she might be abandoned.
"You don't need to think that way. In fact, you've helped me a lot. Without you and the other mental models, I'm afraid the Tendo Temple would be even more dangerous. And now, it's precisely because of your existence that the Tendo Temple can maintain its peace. "
As he spoke, Fangzheng looked at Iona.
"And this is only the beginning, Iona. I promise you, there will be many opportunities for you to go to the battlefield in the future …. "
Fangzheng was not speaking carelessly. Who knew if he would draw a sci-fi game or movie set in a certain universe in the future? When that time came, the Sea Mist Fleet would be the first to be dispatched.
"Of course I won't abandon you. After all, you're my secretary ship."
"I understand, Captain."
Iona was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"I'll be by your side."
Fangzheng just smiled at Iona's answer. Of course, he knew that words were no guarantee. If he wanted to reassure Iona, he had to take action. But as long as he could appease her for the time being, that would be enough. As for the rest, Fangzheng believed that there would be opportunities for Iona to see his actions in the future.
And at that moment, Nimf's voice suddenly rang in Fangzheng's ears.
"Master! Can you hear me? Master! "
"What's wrong? Nimf? What's going on? "
Hearing Nimf's call, Fangzheng hurriedly clenched the chain in his hand and asked in his mind.
"I've found a strong signal source not far away. According to the frequency fluctuations of the radiation, the other party is likely to be the guardian of the goddess we're looking for!"
"What?"
Fangzheng was taken aback when he heard this.
