It rained all day and all night.
The rain on the floating island looks unique, like countless silver threads hanging down from the gloomy sky, connected with the ink-colored forest. A layer of light blue mist appeared in the distance, hiding the edge of the forest and the distant mountains into it.
The river water tumbled down along the estuary and turned into a stream of silver flowers. The silver flowers formed clouds and mist and merged into the surging sea of clouds. A vast expanse of gray, the gloomy eye of the storm in the sky is moving southward, like a cloud wall covering half of the sky, several thousand meters high.
Lightning and thunder continued to flash inside.
Near the empty bay, there is a lonely island floating in the distance. There is a curved tree on the island, standing in the rain. This strange sight made Fang Lu look at it for a while before looking back.
The geological features of Fenris Island are very different from Talen. The cliffs near Kukai are covered with light gray limestone layers. Plants grow upward layer by layer on the collapsed rock layers. This island is more like a disintegrating island. Specimen, a primeval forest suspended on a sea of clouds.
He looked back.
The platform on Mr. Huiyan's body has been assembled. Tianlan and Luo Yu are helping Miss Elf transport the supplies to the back of the negative hill beast. They use a crane to complete the work, use a pulley set to pull the basket to a height higher than the platform, and then Transport boxes filled with food, medicine and repair supplies to the platform.
When venturing on land, you can naturally prepare less drinking water.
The rations are mainly bread and dried meat. Fortunately, Corin-Ithurian does not have the tradition of the British. The dried meat on the Berio is from the previous season, and is not older than them, and So hard that it can be used as a shield.
There are many types of medicines, most of which are made by Mirela's priests. Some can cure diseases and some can heal injuries.
These are supplies given to them by Her Royal Highness the Princess. Although they don't cost much, they can save a lot of trouble. Otherwise, they have to go to a small town twenty or thirty miles west of Jinwan to obtain these things. It is the only population center in Jinwan Anchorage.
In the rain, Attila's injuries were no longer serious. She recovered well and her face was no longer pale, showing a faint healthy rosiness.
But Tianlan and Jita still didn't let her get wet in the rain. Miss Elf stood under the awning and took control.
Fang Plover then walked over. One foot was deep and the other was shallow in the mud. The uppers of the shoes had long been filled with water, but no one cared about this problem now.
Only Parker still complained about the bad weather and clamored to go back to Tree Hill, as if it never rained in Sunshine.
When he asked the other party this question, the other party replied matter-of-factly: "Papalar people don't go out when it rains."
"But you are not from Papalar." Tianlan pointed out this.
"I am now," Parker said righteously: "This is the racial talent of the Papalar people. Do you understand?"
"Your racial talent is too much."
The Papalars took great honor in this accusation.
Soon Sylvide also came back, the light of the miner's lamp passed through the rain curtain, Fang Plover saw the golden rain threads passing through the light beam, and she brought Princess Brianne.
Everything is ready, but this time the other party will naturally no longer go on the road with them.
The elf princess just smiled and waved to them: "Be careful along the way. If everything goes well, we will meet you at the Cloud Port."
"Sister Princess, the same goes for you." Tian Lan lay on the railing and waved vigorously towards the river beach.
Brianne nodded happily.
Sylvide grabbed the rope ladder and climbed up. Fang Plover stretched out his hand to pull her up to the platform. The noble lady straightened her wet hair, nodded to him, and took her maid into the house to change clothes.
Mr. Huiyan swayed his huge body into the forest. Fang Plover stood on the platform and looked to the other side of the river beach. Soon, only a small shadow of Princess Brianne was left.
The journey to the interior of Fenris lasts a week, but the route has been planned in advance. On the first day, they will pass through the Emerald Pass and then arrive near Andrita Falls.
The place is named after the female explorer who discovered this waterfall 220 years ago. It is a rare beauty in the north of Fenris Island, and the square plover will not miss it.
It is also the last step to the north of Fenris. Going up further will enter the depths of the Green Dragon Mountains. It will take about three days to get out of this mountainous area. The remaining journey will pass through the alluvial plains south of Fenris.
If everything goes well, they will be able to arrive at Yunzhi Port no later than the 22nd of this month.
The terrain gets higher and higher, and soon you can overlook the Yunhai Bay below. The huge shadow of the Berio is anchored in an empty bay surrounded by mountains.
Fang Plover also saw the lonely floating island. On the other side of it was the two-masted wing boat they saw yesterday. There was a faint camp in the forest to the west of the wing boat, but it was hidden under the rain and fog. Can't see clearly.
"Speaking of which, what is the trainee parade on Fenris Island all about?"
Fang Yu suddenly put down the tools and mechanical parts in his hands, turned around and asked.
A bolt of lightning shot through the leaden clouds.
A vast white light spilled into the window, illuminating his temporary table. Miss Tata stared intently at the wisteria that had grown another bud. It bloomed at this time, some small, shallow flowers. Pink flower buds.
She raised her head and raised her white chin.
The crystal clear water drops hang on the vines, and the arc light on the surface reflects the scene in the house.
Sylvester wiped her wet light blond hair dry, swayed it casually, and spread out a piece of pure gold tassels, below which was a slender and pink neck.
Fang Yu had never seen her with her hair down casually. She looked innocent and lovely, like the girl next door.
"That is a special graduation examination for trainees on Fenris Island," Sylvide replied: "There is an ancient underground city in the Green Dragon Mountains. Legend has it that it is the site of the Snake Man Empire. Does the captain know about the Snake Man? "
Fang Plover nodded.
The Snakemen are the product of the same period as the Numerin elves. Legend has it that they believe in an ancient god named Kukulkan. However, that god betrayed the Orin gods during the Disaster of Eshorin. He died, and the Serpent Empire sank into the abyss with Aesorin.
However, there are still traces of snakemen in Aitaria to this day. They are divided into two groups. The black snakemen are now found in the sea of Numelin trees between the Hill of Giant Trees and Cape Saint-Hughan.
The Red Snake people live in seclusion in Hanari, and both are still hostile to the civilized world. The latter even allied with giants and Nagas to harass the western coast of the Oshur Empire.
There are even legends saying that both the Lizardmen and Nagas are branches of the Snakeman Empire.
However, there are many kinds of lizardmen in Aitaria nowadays, and the shark lizards are in a feud with the snake people, so not many people believe the first half of this rumor.
"But there will be ruins of the Snake Man Empire here?" Fang Plover asked.
The Snakeman Empire sank into the Abyss along with Aesorin, which is now the largest empty sea between the Aitaria continental group - the New Sea.
And between Aitaria, the Corin-Ithurian (Sea of Clouds) continental group, the Giant Tree Hill continental group, and the Oshur continental group, the three continental groups are like three vertices, and the three vertices between them are The airspace is where Xinhai is today.
On the edges of these three continents next to the New Sea are the three major seas of trees in the first world - the Sea of Ancient Trees of Talun, the Sea of Trees of Numerin, the Hill of Giant Trees, and the Sea of Hanari Trees of Oshu. Therefore, there are also trees. The sea is said to be the border of the former continent Eshorin.
Nowadays, there are many ruins of the Numelin Empire and the Snake Man Empire in these three seas of trees. However, Fang Plover has never heard that there are actually ruins of the Snake Man Empire on Fenris Island.
"There is a saying that, except for Lotao, the three continents of Osu, Sea of Clouds and Hill of Giant Trees once belonged to a supercontinent. However, after the Disaster of Essolin, the three continents gradually fell apart and formed today's structure. .”
Sylvester sat down and answered lightly.
In fact, Luo Yu had already renovated the carriage on the other side of the saddle bridge. After removing the watchtower, he built a new room there.
However, Sylvester still likes to sit in this room every day, sitting on the square bed and quietly reading her strange books, or borrowing his table to draw maps.
"But you should at least go to your room to change clothes."
Fang Yu was even a little embarrassed when he proposed this opinion before, "If I hadn't been alert just now, I would have just barged in."
"Captain, are you unwilling? Do you want me to change it again in person?"
Sylvester replied with a smile.
Fang Yu was directly defeated by this bold answer and stammered: "No, it's not that."
The aristocratic girl smiled and bent over: "The space in my room is too small, and I asked Siesta to lay the carpet. I don't want to change clothes there and make everything messy. You know my habits, please be accommodating. , Captain."
Then you're going to make this place a mess for me?
Fang Plover couldn't help but be speechless.
He said: "But at least give it some thought."
Sylvide's eyes were like crescent moons: "There is nothing to worry about. I am your ship officer, Captain. On the ship, the ship officer should live in the captain's service room, which is in the captain's cabin. Next to it. If there were no conditions here, I should add a hammock to this room so that you can get used to it as soon as possible. "
Fang Yu was startled: "That's not necessary."
Sylvester chuckled.
"Scholars generally believe that Fenris Island was originally part of the Talon Sea of Trees, so it is normal that there are snake-man ruins here." At this time, Miss Tata quietly took over Sylvide's words.
Because the aristocratic girl had known about her existence for a long time, the goblin lady did not hide it from her. This small world now seemed like a secret that the three of them kept together.
Sylvide sat on the edge of Fang Plover's bed as a matter of course, holding a small mirror and combing her smooth blond hair with a comb, while continuing: "That's the birthplace of the green dragon 'Maggieri'."
"It turns out to be that underground city." Fang Yu suddenly realized.
The green dragon 'Mazeri' is the nominal owner of Fenris Island, the legendary green dragon who is extremely wealthy. Magri is the name given to it by humans. It has the same pronunciation as a legendary businessman in the history of Aitaria. . As for the name 'Maguri' itself, it is a long and weird symbol.
Before they reach adulthood, green dragons in Aitalia often like to use abandoned caves or underground ruins as their lairs, and the green dragon Magery is no exception.
However, the underground city where it is located is particularly famous. It is from it that it obtained some ancient alchemical inheritance and gained its current status in the Kaolin-Ithurian alchemical world.
Later, it left Fenris and traveled around the world. It did not return here until it became famous, but it never returned to its underground city, but chose to settle in Cloudport after that.
However, after it became the nominal vice-president of the Kaolin-Ithurian Artisan Association, it took out its own dungeon again and set up many levels and tests in it. It will be open every spring and autumn. The dungeon allows adventurers to enter it and challenge the difficulties it sets.
The best among them will receive its favor and rewards. It is said that the top ones can also have dinner with this legendary dragon - although it has not appeared in front of the world for many years.
Seeing that he understood, Sylvide nodded: "The local guilds in Fenris now regard this biannual test as an opportunity to train trainees, and the Spring and Autumn Parade came from this. And I heard, There is no real death in the green dragon test."
Fang Plover nodded lightly. Mentioning this matter, he couldn't help but be fascinated: "That's Mirela's semi-artifact, the function of Magery's Favor. It's a rare super powerful magic tool - because it breaks the ordinary magic and divine power." Known for the gap between sexual magic - it can call upon Mirella's divine ether, hence the name Demi-Artifact."
"And its function is not to resurrect people from the dead, but to generate an absolute protective shield at the moment before the person suffers fatal injuries, transporting him to a safe place. In fact, it is precisely because of this semi-artifact that That’s why Cloud Port is called the Protected Port.”
"It is precisely because of the creation of this semi-artifact that Magheri became the honorary vice-president of Corin-Ithurian."
"There really is such a thing." Sylvide's eyes were slightly curious: "I have only heard of it before. Does the captain know it so clearly?"
"Miss Sylvide won't be interested in that thing, right?" Fang Yu was a little panicked, but he had not forgotten the behavior of this noble girl in Dollifen's illusion.
"That's not the case. I know that thing is magical, but it's half the size of a castle." Sylvide smiled slightly: "It's just that it's not as good as seeing it. It's the only thing in the world that can mobilize the gods." Is it the magical device of sexual ether?"
Fang Plover nodded.
"That is a branch of ancient magic technology, and the green dragon Mageri is Mirella's chosen one, which is also crucial. Divine ether can only be produced from gods, how can mortals easily borrow their power."
"But it's really convenient," he couldn't help but add: "Use this method to test your trainees. You can achieve multiple goals with one stone. The local guild will really adapt to local conditions. But haven't any other guilds thought of this? ?As far as I know, the Green Dragon Test is very famous."
It is indeed very famous, and many people even discuss this test in the community, otherwise he would not understand it so clearly. After all, it was a test set by the legendary green dragon Mageri, and that alone was enough to attract attention.
"Because the test is very difficult, Mr. Knight," Tata suddenly said: "That underground city is actually an altar built by the snake people for Kukulkan. According to your words - it is a pyramid group, and the ruins are from above. It is divided into twelve floors, and Mageri stipulated that you must reach at least seven floors to get rewards, and so far only a few people have reached it."
"Although Mr. Magery is the honorary vice-president of Corin-Ithulian, it is a dragon after all." Sylvide said with a smile.
Fang Yu always felt that there was something in this sentence.
He couldn't help but look at Miss Goblin, who just told him quietly that there was a ticket to participate in the Green Dragon Test, and the ticket was charged.
MMP, Fang Yu finally understood what Sylvester's words meant. This dragon clearly had evil intentions and wanted to make money through this.
No wonder this guy became the legendary rich man of Corin-Ithulian. He used semi-artifacts to make money, and he used such a clever way to make money. No one else.
"But it is always good for the guild. There is no assessment that can test the combat effectiveness of the trainees better than the actual combat assessment. Moreover, this type of assessment is risk-free, so why not do it?" Sylvide said with a smile: "But for foreign guilds, traveling all the way to Fenris Island is not worth the gain. After all, the resources here are barren and not as good as those on the main continents."
"But it's not completely impossible. In history, most of the adventurers who reached the seventh floor and above were challengers from outside Fenris Island. However, later on, the green dragon Mageri set a limit on the upper limit of the challenge level, so even fewer people came. ." Tata replied.
The tall and tall image of the legendary green dragon completely collapsed in Fang Yu's heart.
He couldn't help but ask: "Who is the person with the best grades in history, and how many levels has he reached?"
"I know this well," Sylvide replied: "Her Royal Highness the Princess just told me about this not long ago. In fact, the new record was born not long ago. It was the autumn parade two years ago. The challenge was A Chosen One from Silver Vislan, her highest record is level nine.”
"It's actually Silver Vislan?" Fang Plover was slightly startled. The title of the top ten guilds in the country is indeed well-deserved. However, there are only a few talented newcomers in Silver Vislan in the past two years, and I heard that the top ones are not as good as the newcomers of the second-ranked guild Elite.
Who could it be?
Sylvide nodded slightly: "The little princess of Silver Vislan, Sophie. Corin, the only chosen knight of Dawn in Ithulian, you should have heard of her, right?"
…
