There was some quietness in the hotel room.
Tianlan flipped through a few pages of drawings, and her light blue eyes couldn't help but shine. She turned around and said to Fang Plover with some surprise: "Is this really the design of a floating ship? Can we build a ship ourselves?"
"Uh-" Fang Yu was really surprised by the girl's unusual angle of attention. He looked at the others, and then made an anxious conclusion to his previous statement: "...That's probably it. I'm really sorry for causing trouble to everyone. I actually wanted to tell you this all the time. thing, but I never found the opportunity.”
Etila listened silently.
Then she looked at him and shook her head gently. "Ed, such a thing is a big secret to everyone. We can understand it even if you don't tell us. I don't know your laws, but the goddess can let me see the good and evil in a person's heart. At least she told me that you Not doing anything wrong.”
"That's right," Tianlan chirped in. "Brother Ed, there is absolutely no need to apologize. You have not caused trouble to anyone? No matter it is the Silver Wind Knights or your military, they will not make things difficult for Jita, Luo Yu, Aitila, and the big cat people." There are irrelevant people like me, right?”
At this time, the lion man put down his pipe and calmly added: "He can tell you this secret frankly, which shows this precious trust. However, the wind on the gravel is the guardian of ancient secrets, and it warns the world that they should keep their mouths shut—— "
As he spoke, he looked at Sylvester with his narrow, pale silver eyes.
The noble girl smiled slightly and nodded gracefully.
The others nodded when they saw this. Luo Yu hesitated for a moment, but did not object.
Only the Papalars were unaware and looked at Fang Plover curiously, as if they wanted to see from him what was the difference between stowaways and ordinary people. But he blinked and stared for a long time with his black bean-like eyes open, but he couldn't see any difference. Even if he made his eyes rounder-the latter still had two eyes, one nose, one mouth, two ears and two ears. There seemed to be nothing different about the two arms and legs, so I couldn't help but be very disappointed.
"Hey, that's boring," he muttered.
Fang Yu looked at everyone and couldn't help but be touched by everyone's tolerance.
So he paused and then asked cautiously: "Miss Etila, I promised to help Sylvie fulfill her father's last wish. They should be with me for a period of time, so can I let Sylvie Will Miss De join us temporarily?"
Etila shook her head.
"Isn't it possible?" Fang Yu was stunned for a moment.
The elf girl replied: "No need to do it for a while, just do what Sylvide said. We will form a fixed adventure group. We are going to Grande, right? Just register there."
"Is this okay, Miss Attila?"
Etila shook her head: "My brother's matter cannot be revealed in one day. If Ed doesn't mind, Red and I can travel with you before the matter is settled. As for Parker, you have to ask him alone His opinion.”
"I want to go back to Sunshak." Parker raised his short, fat hands.
"What should I do with Lord Shan's hat?" Tian Lan asked.
"Then forget it." The Papalar hesitated and then withdrew his hand. "I want to stay with you too."
Tianlan chuckled.
"Where are you little guys? What are your plans?" the lion man asked the three trainees.
"We can build a ship ourselves. Think about it, we can put a sixteen-stop, one-thousand-stop organ in it. We can also have a trophy showroom, a mobile craft workshop and an activity room. !" His sky-blue eyes were as bright as a little miser's. "I can even have my own room. God, I have decided that I will join you -"
"Are you crazy?" Fang Yu looked at her: "Tian Lan, you are a trainee!"
"Ah," Tianlan let out a changed sigh, and immediately said dejectedly, "It seems so."
"And a small boat can't hold the things you mentioned. In addition to the necessary cabins, the remaining space must be given priority to functional buildings, but mobile craft workshops can be considered."
"And generally speaking, air and sea communications officers and ship management officers live in the captain's service room and do not have their own private space." Rhett held up his pipe and made a skillful cut.
"Ah, that's really not a ship worth looking forward to -"
The little girl's cute complaint made everyone chuckle.
Jita was sitting on the sofa with her legs together and her hands on her knees. She was a small person. At this time, she raised her head and asked cautiously: "Brother Ed, you are not a stowaway - yes, I'm sorry, I, I That's not what I meant, I just wanted to ask if you shouldn't have magic adaptability, why can you control flexible structures?"
This question also made Luo Yu raise his head and look at him.
Fang Yu was about to answer, but Sylvide had already spoken one step ahead of him: "Let me answer this question." She turned back and glanced at Fang Yu, who was surprised to see the noble girl's eyes like sea water. In it, there was a faint, cunning light flashing.
She talked eloquently and recounted Fang Piao's experience - roughly. "So to sum up, Mr. Ed's adventures in the elf ruins allowed him to overcome this problem and help me fulfill my father's last wish. But I won't take the initiative to ask about the specific ability. Everyone Understand?"
Sylvester implicitly hinted that in Etalia, close partners would tell each other what they could do, but not why they could do it.
Everyone has their own secrets, that's the bottom line.
Jita realized that she had gone too far and blushed in embarrassment. She really didn't mean to. But looking at the aristocratic girl who took the initiative to defend Fang Plover, she felt a little dissatisfied. She bit her lip and asked, "But why does Miss Sylvide know this?"
Sylvester's face flushed slightly and she smiled lightly. "You will understand when you grow up, Miss Kitta."
Jita's eyes suddenly widened and she looked at her and then at Fang Plover.
Fang Plover also stared at the noble girl in stunned silence - wait, what does this sentence mean? What just happened?
"Look, I knew there was something wrong with this woman." Luo Yu frowned suspiciously at this scene and whispered to Tianlan.
"You see, everyone has problems." Tian Lan wrinkled her nose and sneered at him: "Can you think of something better? Sister Sylvide is so beautiful, how can there be problems?"
This logic was so reasonable that Luo Yu didn't know how to refute it for a moment.
Aitila looked at the two of them and shook his head. He walked to the window, looked outside, and then turned around and said: "Luo Yu and the others can stay in the team temporarily until the trainees' experience is over. The specific participation has nothing to do with Obelisk." When it comes to related tasks, it’s enough that Red, Miss Siesta, and Miss Sylvide don’t take any action.”
"Actually, we only have some investigation reports left to write, sister Aitila." Jita replied. "The last remaining task has to wait until the twelve stars gather together, in the late month of the Ceremony, when the southern constellation Queen of Heaven and the Chosen Star appear in the sky together - if the ballad is not misleading, then the obelisk will be Will appear deep in Traveler Swamp."
After hearing this, Sylvester frowned slightly, but said nothing.
"What's the matter, Miss Sylvide?" Fang Plover noticed her expression.
"Nothing." The noble girl shook her head and fiddled with the hair beside her ears with her fingertips. "I just feel that this rumor came out of nowhere and is a bit weird."
"That's true." Fang Yu couldn't help but think of the Hailin Crown thing again, and couldn't help but wonder, are there so many things happening in Aitaria all the time? Is it because he doesn’t understand the first world, or is he unable to know because he is in a changing situation?
He looked down at the back of his right hand - there was a thick glove there, but he could still feel the mark.
On the other hand, Sylvide's eyes were flowing like water, and she gave him a subtle look. "thanks for your concern."
"Ah?" Fang Yu's face turned red. Why did he, he, he care? It was just a casual question, but when the noble girl mentioned it like this, it really seemed like he was paying attention to her all the time.
After hearing Jita's words, Aitila nodded immediately. "The people from the Black Sheep Chamber of Commerce should also open the door to the ruins deep in the swamp at that time. In this case, we still have plenty of time. It has not yet entered autumn, and we still have several months to go to Grande."
She put her hand on the glass window, looked outside, and then looked back at Fang Plover. "So what are your plans now, Ed?"
"Intend?"
"Yes," Jita also whispered. "On the way back, there were soldiers from the Silver Wind Knights everywhere outside, as well as some sneaky people. Now I think these people must be searching for Brother Ed."
"Martial law has also been imposed in the inner city," Luo Yu also added: "When I came back from the customs animal pen, I saw several times more soldiers changing shifts."
"What's that?" Parker didn't take it seriously and spread his hands. "They are so stupid. It would be better if I didn't leave the city."
After he finished speaking, he felt that everyone was looking at him as if he was mentally retarded.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
"Then you messed up everything! Parker, how long do you plan to stay here? Months, or years?" Tianlan punctured his fantasy angrily.
"Well," the Papalar scratched his head: "Well, I still have a way. Let me think about it, we can take a boat directly to Fenris Island - I heard that there is a wealthy man there. Green Dragon, we can - er, I mean we can transfer to the shuttle boat there to go to Grande."
"I'm sure we'll be caught before we even get on the ship. Unless you prepare a few wooden barrels, stuff yourself into the barrels, pretend that you are a barrel of bacon or potatoes, and then pass through the cargo channel Go directly into the bottom cabin. With luck, the workers put your bucket on the top floor. If they didn't suffocate you to death, it would take Aitila and the others a few days to find you among thousands of such buckets. That bucket."
The lion man gave him advice in a personable manner.
Parker listened for a while and then replied: "Well, I think it's better to forget it."
At this time, Sylvide suddenly spoke: "Princess Brianne will help us find a ship, the Berio, a cargo ship from the Cloud Bay Freight Company. On the surface, it has nothing to do with the elves or the Artisans Association. The relationship will not arouse suspicion. But its captain has received favors from the elves and owes them a favor. Her Highness the Princess will arrange for him to dock in Short Bay for half a day - using the excuse of repairing the sails, we can take the opportunity to board the ship. "
Because Fang Yu had already mentioned the matter of Princess Miaoxing beforehand, no one was surprised at this time.
"Duanwan, where is it?" Tianlan asked.
Luo Yu thought for a while and replied: "I remember that it was a natural anchorage, northwest of El Paxin."
Attila had already walked over and took out the map, spread it out on the table, moved her slender fingertips along the coastline to the upper left, and found the place name in an inconspicuous place. "About a day's journey," she replied, looking at Sylvester. "But how is Ed supposed to get out of town?"
"It's very simple. The supreme governor of Elpaxin is Earl Sandor. This man is a neutral faction and is not keen on making friends with you. As long as he doesn't say anything, Sir Argyll, the Grand Master of the Knights of Silver Wind, will also If we can't move El Paxin's guards, we will have many ways to think of." The noble girl seemed confident about this.
The elf girl raised her head, looked at each other with 'Big Cat' Red, and understood what the noble girl meant. The Knights of Silver Wind can block the city gates and ports, but they cannot block all the external connections to Elpaxin. Wherever there are people, there will be gray areas. Be it the Thieves Guild or the Cloak Brotherhood, there will always be people with connections who can be safe. Send people out.
These people will not easily conflict with the highest authority in a place, but as long as Earl Sandor does not say anything, they will not worry about the Silver Wind Knights and the Golden Wind Knights. If you have money, you would be a fool not to make money.
"Ha," Tian Lan also understood and looked at Fang Plover with a bit of fun: "Then Brother Ed is going to be a stowaway again."
Fang Yu couldn't help crying or laughing after hearing this.
"It's not just Ed," Attila said to everyone: "Parker and Red are also the same. They are too conspicuous and have appeared in the Continental League. They cannot be easily exposed to the eyes of outsiders - by the way, then When will the ship arrive?”
"At least a week, but I can't say for sure. We must arrive at Short Bay before then." Sylvide replied.
"A week?" Parker was surprised when he heard this: "Is it possible that we will have to wander in the wilderness for several days before then? Oh my God, are you ready to kill the Papalar people? Needless to say , and you can only eat five meals a day in the wild.”
"But we only had three meals."
"You know, the racial talent of the Papalar people-"
Etila didn't pay attention to the two noisy guys, but at least Parker was right about one thing. A week is not a short time, and it is necessary to make plans for the wild trip, and the original plan has to be re-made. It's all a mess.
At this time, Jita suddenly whispered: "Sister Atila, everyone, I have an idea..."
"What's the matter, Jita?" Tianlan and Parker were still noisy. The elf girl patted the short girl gently to quiet them down. The little French girl couldn't help but stick out her tongue.
Jita then replied: "I went to the Silver Tower's large library in the afternoon to check out the information on the Dragon Cult. In order to find out which dark believers were active around Elpaxin, I found some records from the past ten years. According to records in public files, it was discovered that the Adventurer's Guild issued a mission related to cultists three times in 175, 177 and 178 of the New Era, all of which asked adventurers to investigate the activities of Dolifen cultists - the most recent of which was this year. In May, there has been no response to that assignment.”
"Doriffin?"
"Wait, wait, I know that place!" Tian Lan said immediately: "That place is an abandoned town. Undead creatures often appear there. Many people go there to take risks."
Fang Yu suddenly asked: "Jita, you mean we can go there and have a look. Is there enough time?"
Jita nodded slightly: "Brother Ed, it is in the forest to the north of Short Bay. It used to be a small town that relied on this natural anchorage. One or two days will be enough to explore it."
Fang Yu couldn't help but look at Sylvester and Attila.
The noble girl smiled slightly. "I am acting together with you. I am not that squeamish. Mr. Ed does not need to mind me. As agreed, I will go wherever you go."
He couldn't help scratching his head after hearing this——
Etila nodded. Her purpose was to investigate the truth behind her brother's death - or in other words, there was still a glimmer of hope. Why does Kidd have only one record of resurrection? Why was his body found in the swamp? Was it because the starlight had dried up, or was it for other reasons?
And what is the connection between it and that strange brooch?
The main cult organization operating in the Yunzhihai area, especially in the north of the Yunzhihai area, is the Dragon Worship Cult. She will not let go of any clues related to them easily.
What's more, there is ready opportunity and time now.
Fang Yu thought for a while and then said: "The Adventurer's Guild's mission will not be canceled without reason. The lack of a receipt means that the matter may not have been resolved. And if the adventurers are not capable of handling it, the guild will usually send out a higher-level mission after half a year." The investigation team, it’s just the right time for us to go now.”
After listening to his analysis, Adila looked at the two of them with soft eyes: "Thank you, Ed, Jita."
At this time, Sylvide added from the side: "Well, everyone, the itinerary has been confirmed, and then we have to prepare for it. Have you figured out how to get out of the city?"
After hearing this, Aitila and Tianlan both turned their attention to Fang Plover.
Fang Yu was looking at them in confusion. The lion-man Rhett held his pipe in his mouth and said to him: "Miss Sylvide joined this team in your name, and I and Miss Attila are also with you. Action, so this fixed adventure group nominally belongs to you, little human boy."
"What?" Fang Yu seemed to have realized such a problem.
Tian Lan puffed out and couldn't help but laugh and said: "Yes, Brother Captain Ed, can you show us a clear path now?"
Fang Yu was dumbfounded and couldn't help but look at Luo Yu and Jita who were standing aside, but they were just trainees, so they naturally had no objection to this. On the other hand, Parker was shouting at the side that he also wanted to be the leader, but unfortunately no one took the poor Papalar seriously.
Finally, he scratched his head and then said bravely: "Okay, I think we can leave the city in two ways. Except for me, Parker and Mr. Big Cat, everyone else can leave El Paxin through legitimate channels. , this can also save a lot of money——"
This is a good start. He at least thought of saving money first, which coincides with the wise Miss Scarpet on this point.
After getting started, Fang Yu began to get better and found that this matter did not seem to be so difficult - his long-standing dream and previous experiences gradually began to play a role. "By the way, we may need to prepare more supplies, because we may not enter the settlement again before leaving Talen, so the originally planned week of food and two days of water are definitely not enough. In addition, we Can we get supplies on board the Berio, Miss Sylvide?”
"Yes, but it's best to prepare something yourself, because I'm not used to trusting strangers." Sylvide smiled slightly and added a title to him: "Future Captain."
This title almost made Fang Plover fall to the ground.
"I'll be responsible for purchasing supplies, brother Ed," Tian Lan volunteered confidently. "By the way, Luo Yu, how long will it take for the piggyback to pick up?"
"The rental cost has just been settled. It will take at least two days to re-sign the contract for purchase," Luo Yu replied: "I will seize the time to repair the vehicle platform within these two days."
After listening to the two people's words, Fang Yu nodded. "Then we have two days to contact those guys who are operating in the gray area."
"Leave this matter to me, Ed." Attila stood up.
But Sylvide shook her head: "The lower city is not safe, Miss Attila, I am with you, at least Siesta has the ability to protect us." After hearing her words, Attila looked at it slightly surprised The noble daughter glanced at her and nodded to her.
"Thanks."
Sylvide smiled back: "You're welcome, we are a team."
Watching this scene, Fang Yu suddenly felt that the noble girl's previous suggestion was not so unreliable. She seems to have a strange ability. It's obviously just a change in name, but under her control, everyone is more closely connected.
He looked at Tianlan, then at Jita and Luo Yu, as if he really saw the prototype of an adventure group - unfortunately they were trainees. Once the experience is over, you will eventually leave.
How great would it be if Tianlan, Luo Yu and Jita could stay?
But will they be willing?
This sudden idea even startled Fang Plover himself. He quickly shook his head and threw away this immature idea. Only Sylvide turned back and glanced at him slightly curiously.
