Watching the two bipedal flying dragons gradually fly away, Fang Plover cautiously walked out from the shade of the cafe.
"Are they looking for me...?" He looked back uncertainly. Sylvester was sitting at a white round table sipping tea, with Siesta standing beside her - in the white porcelain tea set, the black tea produced in the hill of giant trees shone in the midday sun.
Before Fang Yu could recover from the previous series of unexpected events, he seemed to have been brought all the way to this place by the girl, and then he discovered that people from the Silver Wind Knights all over the world were looking for him. "...But what exactly is going on, Miss Sylvide?"
"Don't you know?" Sylvester put down the teacup, her snow-like skin and white porcelain complement each other, she stood up, and Siesta pulled out the chair for her. "Your previous performance in the Continental League surprised everyone."
"Me, the Continental League?" Fang Yu frowned and thought carefully, then suddenly his expression changed and he shouted: "Holy shit, isn't it?"
Sylvide curled her lips slightly, as if she heard something interesting, but pretended not to know and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Those goddamned Ithulian dwarves, I was deceived by them!" Fang Pultru was extremely annoyed. "I made it clear that I was going to take the craftsman assessment. How could they do this without asking for my opinion at all!"
"You mean you didn't originally plan to participate in that game?"
"How is this possible? I didn't even participate in the previous rounds. These damn dwarves are cheating!"
Sylvide smiled slightly. "Dwarves have always been cunning, but this cunning is hidden in their temperament. They are actually very reckless, sometimes even a little too reckless."
"This is not only reckless, it is simply unreasonable. They have been plotting against me from the beginning!" Fang Plover finally reacted.
He simply didn't know what to say. If the old guy Arquette was in front of him at this moment, he would definitely punch the old dwarf in the face. He finally understood why the Silver Wind Knights came to him. The Knights had always had close business contacts with the Kaolin Merchant Alliance, and the Kaolin Merchant Alliance was the most important cooperation partner of the Chinese government in the Yunzhihai area. Well, it's self-evident why they came.
His stowaway incident must have come to light!
"But isn't it a good thing to be famous, especially for you?" Sylvester's eyes moved and she looked at the young man carefully.
"Uh, probably, but I'm a little special." Fang Plover didn't know how to answer. In the end, all he could say was a long sigh. It would be great if he was not a stowaway. However, it has never been his habit to feel sorry for himself when encountering difficulties. His habit since childhood is to take a step forward even when death is about to happen - what if there is a bright future in another village?
Although a certain annoying little girl often despised him as a barbarian and a fool.
Thinking of this, Fang Yu calmed down slightly and thanked Sylvide: "Thank you very much, Miss Sylvide. You really helped me a lot this time. I don't know how to thank you."
"Then we're even, Mr. Ed," Sylvide winked her clear blue eyes playfully: "But aren't you curious, why do I know about you?"
Yes, how would she know? Fang Yu was stunned for a moment. He really hadn't thought about this problem, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt full of doubts. "By the way, Miss Sylvide, how do you know that the people from the Silver Wind Knights will appear there?"
Sylvester couldn't help but smile slightly. "Because I've seen your video. Is that what you call this type of video recording?"
"video?"
"It's the earliest one."
Fang Yu thought for a moment before remembering which video about him was the first, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Then... that, that video, does that mean you recognized me in Longjiao Hall?"
"That's not true," Sylvide shook her head: "Didn't Mr. Ed wear a mask at the time? But later on, I recognized you when you were unconscious."
That was what happened a few days ago, and Fang Yu naturally still remembers it. But he still didn't understand: "But..."
Sylvide looked at him with interest and added for him: "But why do I know those people will target you, right?"
Fang Plover nodded slowly.
"Mr. Ed is a stowaway, right? That's what you call people like you over there?"
Fang Yu was even more frightened and looked at the girl with dumbfounded eyes. Sylvide looked nonchalant and smiled lightly: "Don't lie to me, I know your laws very well. After the tourist channel is opened, people like you are called illegal entrants. Right?"
Facing such a smart girl who knew so much about the Treaty of Suva, Fang Pliance didn't know what to say for a moment. He didn't know if he should tell her that the content of Suva's statement was actually just part of the laws and regulations on Earth?
She seems to have some misunderstanding about the laws of the earth?
Just when he met the girl's narrow, clear eyes, Fang Yu couldn't say a word. And Sylvide's next words made his heart beat even more thunderously. "I think I know some of Mr. Ed's secrets too."
"Secret, secret?" Fang Yu couldn't help but wonder, besides the biggest secret of being a stowaway, what other secrets could he have?
"You know," Sylvide winked at him again, a little mischievously: "Mr. Ed had some kind of adventure in the elf ruins, right? For example, he got an ancient dragon soul. .”
Fang Plover suddenly opened his mouth wide.
He seemed to have lost the ability to think and looked at this cunning aristocratic girl who knew how to use her own advantages. If she guessed that he was a stowaway, it could be said that the official leaked the information - but later This matter was obviously a secret that only he and Miss Tata knew.
Fortunately, she just thought that what she got was an ancient artificial dragon soul, not the Type-0 Holy Crystal. Otherwise, Fang Pliance would really have thought that she was in the temple at that time and was not discovered by him, but even if Is that so? This still made him feel a little uneasy, and he had a vague feeling that his privacy was being spied on.
"Mr. Ed used the power of the dragon soul to control Mei Mei, right?" Sylvide came over, stood on tiptoes, and whispered to him: "Don't worry, I will keep it secret."
Her tone was light and soft, and her breath swept over Fang Plover's earlobe like orchid, making him feel as if his heartbeat had skipped a beat: "Xi, Miss Sylvide...?"
Sylvide took it back again and looked at him with bright eyes: "So, does Mr. Ed still remember what he said?"
"ah?"
Sylvester smiled. "——It doesn't matter if you don't remember. If you want to see something, I'll take you somewhere."
"Wait, what are you looking at?"
Fang Yu was still a little confused. Originally, Sylvide was just an ordinary noble girl to him, but now she was shrouded in more and more mysteries, making it difficult to fathom. The other party seems to know everything. By the way, she also knows Princess Brianne——
He seemed to have just recalled such a thing. The other party seemed to be very familiar with the Elf Princess. Brianne Caranthir even entrusted her with some help. But what could a legendary hero do that ordinary people could help with? What about?
He had countless questions in his mind that he wanted to ask, but Sylvester only leaned forward and smiled at him, as if sending an invitation, then she passed him carrying her suitcase and walked onto the street.
Her maid followed, looking back at him.
Those violet eyes were full of vigilance, as if warning him not to run away.
But how could Fang Plover escape? He was still full of doubts. He immediately followed her, but Sylvède walked so fast, and the crowds of people on the street were intertwined, but she was like a white deer uncontaminated by the world, moving light and dexterous among them.
Fang Plover chased after him, almost bumping into pedestrians several times, attracting waves of unkind looks, and he could only apologize profusely. But the master and the servant in front were calm and leisurely, strolling in the busy city - occasionally, the girl would stop, holding the huge box in both hands, waiting for him with a smile on her face.
But when Fang Plover is about to get closer, Sylvide will continue to move forward, leaving only a playful silhouette of his back. The two - or rather the three of them - chased each other through the bustling main street. The number of pedestrians on the street gradually became sparse, and Fang Plover finally found an opportunity to catch up.
He found Sylvide parked in an alley. In front of him was an arch built between two walls. In front of him was the end of the block. Outside the arch was green grass, which was a somewhat pleasant place. Grove.
"Miss Sylvide—"
Sylvide turned around, raised her index finger to her lips, and made a silencing gesture to him. She pointed to the side, and Fang Yu realized that there was an old man squatting on a low stool, dozing off with his hands clasped in his hands.
The old man was wearing a blue and white uniform, the uniform of the El Paxin Guard.
"Where is this?" Fang Plover asked involuntarily.
"Amaya's altar," Sylvester replied, gesturing in the direction of the woods. "The shrine is in that forest. There is a very old white oak tree inside. It will only be open during harvest celebrations and spring festivals."
"What are we doing here?" Fang Yu was a little surprised. Amaya's altar is not a natural sanctuary. No wonder there is such a park-like place with birds singing and flowers fragrant above this floating street where every inch of land is precious.
But this aristocratic girl was a little too bold. This was the goddess's sanctuary. It was like a forbidden place in the eyes of Amaya's believers, and she dared to sneak in secretly.
Fang Yu couldn't help but wonder what would happen if Miss Attila found out.
Sylvide looked at him and replied with the same mouth shape: "You will know later——"
As she said that, she walked forward quietly, but instead of heading towards the altar, she chose the other side. Fang Yu was a little worried, but had no choice but to follow the master and the servant.
Fortunately, the three of them entered the woods without alerting the old guard. The forest was silent, with only one or two birds chirping. The sunlight passed through the tree crowns and fell slantingly on the forest, with dots of golden spots, as if they had substance.
Fang Yu seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat. He faintly smelled a sweet fragrance. He didn't know if it was the scent of the forest or the fragrance of the girl.
At this time, Sylvide spoke from the front: "Is Mr. Ed really Kapka's trainee alchemist?"
Fang Yu blinked in confusion, does this question need to be asked? The girl looked back at his expression and knew her answer: "That's it."
"What turns out to be like this? Does it have anything to do with it...?"
"Of course it does matter." Sylvester glanced at him specifically, smiled mysteriously, and then turned around.
While the two were talking, the light changed from dark to bright, and the front suddenly opened up. Only then did Fang Plover realize that they had walked out of the woods. Outside is the edge of the cliff, and there is no obstruction to the view - in the distance is the port of Elpaxin, the end of the land, and the river is as bright as a white stream falling.
Farther away is a slender promontory, a line between the sky and the sea, and floating clouds like islands.
The breeze from the outer harbor blew against his face, causing his collar to stand upright. There were already four silver stars on the collar, representing his official status as an alchemist. He looked at Sylvide. The girl was also pressing her long hair, her shawls were flying, and her long eyes were looking into the distance.
Fang Plover followed her gaze with some curiosity, only to find that there was a dock below. Many people gathered in the dock in darkness, surrounding a brand-new sailboat in the dock. When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel a little excited: "Wait, is this the launching ceremony of a new ship?"
Sylvide nodded slightly. "Just right," she said softly.
El Pashin is the shipbuilding capital of Kaulin-Ishulian. Shipyards of all sizes are filled with orders almost day and night. However, the construction period of an aerospace ship is extremely long, so The scene of a new ship being launched is something you don’t see every day here.
Fang Yu couldn't help but hold his breath. Such a floating ship was exactly what he had dreamed of. Even just a glance from a distance was enough to make him feel overwhelmed and unable to control himself.
As if to confirm the girl's words, the launching ceremony below had just begun. The boatmen lowered the sail ropes and unfolded the wings. The ship made a long horn sound, the buoyancy engine started to start, and the slender hull began to slowly move towards Move forward.
At this time, someone threw a bottle filled with white wine. The bottle smashed on the bow of the boat, and everyone around them cheered.
At this time, salutes were fired from the dock and fireworks also rose into the sky. Colorful lights bloomed, reflecting on the faces of boys and girls beside the woods.
Sylvide turned around and looked at Fang Plover.
But Fang Yu didn't notice it and looked at the scene in front of him in trance. The new ship is very beautiful, with a slender and graceful shape, two masts, and four flanks - the flanks are located behind the stern of the ship, like the tail of a fish. They are like the side sails of a floating ship, which can not only raise the Speed, also helps improve maneuverability.
He recognized it as a typical talon-winged sailing ship. The shape of the ship was a bit like a caravel, but more slender. This should be a small patrol ship. If it was not ordered by Kaolin-Ishulian, it must have been customized by an adventure group.
Because only adventure groups will use such wing sailboats.
Fang Yu was extremely envious.
He watched from a distance as the ship unfolded all its sails, slowly sailed into the empty sea, and then raised its flag and signal flags, large and small. Fang Plover didn't recognize the emblem on the main sail, but it wasn't the Ithurian Navy—it was probably some unknown adventure group.
Next, the ship will undergo a week-long trial voyage. This is the ancient rule of Aitalia. He watched silently as it sailed toward the open sea without looking back until it turned into a black dot.
"I remember Mr. Ed's ideal is to have his own floating ship and then go to the second world, right?" Sylvide said at this time: "I happen to know that a ship is going to be launched today, so I want to Bring Mr. Ed to have a look——"
Only then did Fang Plover react: "Ms. Sylvide, did you bring me to see this specifically?"
"Is it beautiful?" the girl asked.
Fang Yu looked at this beautiful girl, and felt a little inexplicably moved in her heart - she actually kept those words in her heart.
"It's very beautiful." He looked at the direction in which the ship disappeared with some sadness, and couldn't help but think about how great it would be if he had such a ship. "By the way," Fang Plover turned around and said, "Miss Sylvide, how do you know this place?"
Sylvester raised her hand to straighten the hair on her temples and swept it behind her ears inadvertently. She looked at the sea from a distance with a long look, but she did not answer the question immediately.
After a while, she replied: "When I was a child, my father took me here once."
Fang Yu looked at Sylvester with his mouth wide open, feeling both ashamed and moved. He had previously made the worst guess, and more than once guessed whether the girl was using him as a stowaway, to blackmail him into doing something, or to join an organization - but he never expected that the other party's purpose was so simple.
This place must be very important to her, right?
Fang Luo looked at Sylvester, feeling a little soft in his heart.
When he subconsciously looked at the girl, Sylvester was also looking at him. Their eyes made contact inadvertently, and then quickly looked away at the same time. Sylvester's expression remained normal, but Fang Plover blushed a little instead.
The girl then said: "I still remember what Mr. Ed said that day, so does Mr. Ed still remember what I said at that time?"
"Ah?" Fang Yu was dumbfounded.
He looked at Sylvester dumbfounded - he still remembers nothing!
Sylvester looked at him curiously, and when she saw his awkward look, she couldn't help but have a funny look in her eyes again. She concealed a smile, but did not mention what happened that day again, and instead asked, "Mr. Ed, would you like to do me a favor?"
"What are you busy with?" Fang Plion asked subconsciously.
Sylvide put down the suitcase and pressed her hand on the button of the suitcase.
"Build a boat."
"Wait a minute, what did you just say about building one?"
…
