Soft bright light.
Golden latches.
Fang Plover raised his left hand, faced the sunshine outside the window, squinted his eyes, and pushed it gently with his right hand, making a soft sound. Turning the back of his hand again, he saw a glimmer of cold light on the cold iron shell. He put down his hand, looked at it carefully for a moment, compared it with the gauntlet on his right hand, and then nodded with satisfaction.
Then he turned around and took off the magic furnace from the shelf, put it on rustlingly, fastened the buckles, and checked around. At this time, there was an aggressive knock on the door, and Box asked from outside: "Are you ready?"
"That's good."
Fang Plover replied.
He turned around and picked up another string of clockwork goblins from the table, hanging on one side from the drawstring, and then another string hanging on the same side adjacent to it. After doing all this, he stopped and thought carefully about whether he had lost anything before pushing the door open and leaving.
Outside the door is the beautiful scenery of the Saint-Péru Valley.
In other words, the Saint-Peru Valley Group——
The easily weathered sand and gravel landform forms a unique landscape here. The brown-red rock pillars are exposed on the surface, complementing the dark green forest under the ridgeline. The sun shines through the gaps in the clouds, and the rays of light form a magnificent wonder in the Grand Canyon. scene.
Like the blending colors on a paint tray, the mountain wall also glows with a light purple color.
Fang Plover couldn't help but squint his eyes and take a deep breath of the mountain air.
The box on the side was still wearing the same outfit, reminding him: "Prince Teneric came early in the morning, and he and 'Bloodfang' have been waiting below for a long time."
Fang Yu nodded and said that he understood. Today was the day when the trial began. He didn't care whether the Rain Listener and the Blood Oath had reached an agreement, but their group had to get on the road. However, for the sake of safety, he still I spent the night improving my equipment.
The main thing is to make the 'Rocket Flying Fist' on his left hand, so that his offensive and self-protection abilities can be improved to a higher level, and with both hands fully equipped, some 'sexy operations' that could not be achieved before can now be achieved by him. You can also try it.
Then there is a revolving gun to supplement the medium and close range attacks. Although it is not the best choice, it is better than nothing. Besides, it was given to him by the beautiful ship officer, so the meaning was different. He inserted it under the magic furnace for later use.
Regarding this handgun, Fang Plover mainly made some spare chambers, connected with copper belts and hung on the strap on the other side, opposite the clockwork fairies - by the way, this ancient handgun is like all Just like the old-fashioned reloading weapons, the chamber is changed when the ammunition is changed.
After putting on a new set of equipment, Fang Plover's appearance was no worse than that of a box. His whole body was almost armed to the teeth. The windbreaker was a tight leather vest, which was mainly used to fix the walker's storage device and the crystal. It was locked to the fixator on the left chest and looked like a mechanical-style breast goggle.
Then there are copper ring rails and metal gear springs, and tubes used to transmit magic and heat. If you put on a top hat with goggles, you will look like a professional alchemist from the Kaulin-Ithurian Artisans Guild.
However, Fang Plover did not have a hat, only a hood, which he pulled up deliberately to cover the somewhat conspicuous mithril mask.
Box looked at his action and said: "If you think this mask is too annoying, we can change it, captain."
"You think beautifully."
How could Fang Yu not know that the other party was secretly envious of his silly mask, but this mask was a little silly, but it was worth a lot of money.
When the young man heard this, he just tilted his head indifferently.
The two got off the platform, and the others were already waiting for them below.
He and Parker are the only ones on the team who will participate in the trial next, maybe with a temporary player box. As for Teneric, although he has temporarily joined the team, his essence is just a cooperative relationship with the adventure group, and he will choose to leave after the trial.
Even so, Attila, Red and others still insisted on getting up early and coming to practice for them. Parting is always unpleasant, especially Jita and Tianlan. The two little girls closed their mouths and said nothing. Look at him.
Fang Yu was stunned when he saw the blue and red eye circles. They had only been away for a few days, so I thought it might not be like this. The little girl was a little too sentimental.
But when he saw Luo Yu, who was also silent, bringing them bags filled with food and water, and then turning around without saying a word, he suddenly understood something in his heart.
This short separation may contain more things.
The three of them are trainees——
After all, it is impossible to stay in this team for a long time. One day, the situation at this time will happen again, and maybe not long after, they will say goodbye to everyone and return to the place that should belong to them.
And after that farewell, whether there is still a chance for everyone to fight side by side again may be hopeless.
Thinking of this, Fang Plover also fell silent.
Speaking of which, he has only known everyone for about a month, but so many things have happened in that short period of time. Looking back carefully, it seems to be longer than a year.
From the acquaintance at Traveler's Rest, to the chance encounter between Elpaxin and the noble lady, the establishment of the adventure group, to the arduous escape and distress, after the experience of Dolifen and his party, everyone has become increasingly mature.
Then after crossing the sea of clouds and mountains, they arrived here step by step.
But will time finally return to its starting point?
This back-and-forth trip, and the companionship between companions day and night, will only leave a faint memory in the end.
Fang Yu stood in front of the three people without saying a word. The three of them looked at him and were speechless. They might have some hope in their hearts, but they were more hamstrung by the huge reality.
Fang Yu didn't know what statement he should make——
Just like wandering among the elven ruins, it seemed like he was back to that night again. The cold and biting forest made him still remember it. But there was always a warm light in the cold memory, causing him to slowly calm down and clenched his fist again.
He then raised his head and looked at the three of them, as if he had made up his mind: "Tianlan, Jita, Luo Yu, if you want-"
Jita raised her little head and looked at him steadily.
"What do we want?" Tianlan asked.
"I don't want to lie, Tianlan, Jita and Luo Yu - this little adventure group of mine is actually just my private wish, although one day, I want it to become a part of the history of Aitaria. Those legendary existences, but for me, that is just a goal to strive for.”
"It may come true, but it is more likely to fail. Therefore, if you stay here, not only will you have no future, you may even be involved in a lot of trouble."
He couldn't help but glance at Sylvester.
The noble girl tilted her head slightly and smiled softly at him.
"But," Fang Yu turned around again, looked at the three of them, and paused for a moment: "If you really make this decision, I will do everything possible to not let you down."
"As a captain, I am very poor," he said. "I don't have much to give you, and I have no intention of describing a bright future, because the reality may be even bleaker, and the only thing I can offer is a promise."
"But can Brother Ed really do it? Jita and the wooden knight, the trainee status?"
Tianlan blinked and asked curiously.
Fang Plover didn't answer.
After he heard about the incident between the Solitary White Wilderness and R and Box, he asked Grant about it in private, and then he realized that all the major guilds actually had some extra selector quotas circulating privately.
Of course, these quotas are not really 'excess', they are often used to repay favors between guilds, or as part of an exchange of benefits.
Just like Gubai Zhiye himself is the leader of the Rain Listener Brigade, and he promised that Box would give priority to joining the Rain Listener. With this condition, he got a quota within the guild.
But even so, the other party still paid a considerable price, and Fang Plover only found out later that Xiang Xiang said he was a pauper captain, which was really not a joke. It's because almost all the other party's savings have been invested in this.
Fang Yu didn't know how to evaluate such behavior. Maybe the other party just wanted to make up for past regrets.
But no matter from which aspect, he can feel the unspoken sense of responsibility contained in it.
That is the responsibility of a pioneer to those who follow; naturally it is also the responsibility of a captain to his team members.
He couldn't help but think of himself. What was the purpose of R's teaching to him? And does that person know that he has finally arrived in this dream world?
It was this thought that made him stand here and say those words.
Because he was destined to be unable to trust Tianlan and the others in him and turn a blind eye.
After he only nodded.
Tianlan unexpectedly found that she didn't know how to speak again.
She found that the 'Brother Ed' she was familiar with seemed to have changed, but it was not that he had become a stranger, but an inexplicable feeling that made her want to make a joke - but she couldn't say it.
She couldn't help but look back at Jita and Luo Yu, wanting to see what their answers would be.
But she actually knew the answer very well. The three of them had discussed this issue countless times in private day and night, but every time they mentioned the club behind them.
This question always ends in silence.
But silence is actually the answer.
Jita couldn't help but raise her head and look at her companions, clenching her little fists tightly. Luo Yu seemed much more hesitant than her. He thought about it again and again, but couldn't say a word.
Tian Lan sighed and looked back with a rare seriousness: "How is Brother Ed going to resolve the relationship between Jita and Luo Yu and the club?"
"You're just trainees," Fang Pliance replied. He had obviously considered this issue a long time ago: "Your contract is non-mandatory. Of course, training fees and liquidated damages must be compensated, but this is not a big problem. "
He paused. "If that doesn't work, we can sign an agreement with them to serve as a cooperative adventure group for Tapolis. In this way, it doesn't matter whether Jita and Luo Yu are trainees from Tapolis."
The three of them looked at him in surprise.
Even Aitila, who was not far away, had a flash of surprise in his eyes. They knew best that Fang Yu was the least willing to have anything to do with the Grand Guild. Both Jita and Luo Yu couldn't help but take a breath.
"What about Sister Fuli?" Jita asked in a low voice: "The Twelve-Colored Iris is different from us. They definitely don't need a cooperative adventure group in the Chinese Division. Moreover, the European Division and the Chinese Division are in a competitive relationship. "
Fang Yu glanced at her in surprise.
The little girl lowered her head with a slight blush. She stopped talking about her problems. In fact, the subtext was that she agreed to Fang Plover's arrangement. Luo Yu didn't say anything, obviously acquiescing to this decision.
But Tianlan couldn't help but smile.
"Why are you thinking about me?" She forced a smile: "Those are all irrelevant things, let's leave it like this for now. Brother Ed should solve the problem between Jita and the wooden knight first, I...I am I’m not in a hurry.”
The three of them couldn't help but look at her.
Tianlan said in embarrassment: "Look at what I'm doing, I'm serious. If I really take those guys seriously, I won't come here alone, right?"
Fang Plover also nodded.
"If you want to stay, then just stay," he thought for a moment and replied: "If there is any problem with the Twelve Color Irises, you can ask them to come to us. You can pay for it, but there is no way to ask for help. He If you dare to mess up, we will have our own solution, Jita is right, anyway, the European Division is in competition with us."
Tianlan couldn't help laughing when she heard what he said was interesting. The little girl laughed so hard that tears came out.
She finally finished laughing, then wiped away her tears and said, "Is this considered robbing someone?" She originally wanted to say, 'Brother Ed,' but for some reason, the words came to her lips and turned into: "Captain?"
Jita and Luo Yu were both stunned for a moment, and then whispered: "Captain."
Fang Plover looked back at the box standing aside, and suddenly felt a simple sense of satisfaction in his heart.
Not far away, the lion man took the bit of his pipe out of his mouth, his silver eyes light, as if looking at the clouds on the horizon. It suddenly said: "It seems that young people have solved their own problems. Look, I told you not to worry about it -"
Etila said nothing.
The big cat man turned around, and a long-lasting light flashed in his pupils that turned into spots in the sun: "At this time, do you feel that you are already old, Miss Attila? Sometimes you have to learn to let go, The past happened a long time ago, wouldn’t it be fun to learn to live in the present, enjoy life, and have adventures with your little ones?”
Miss Elf then turned around and gave him an annoyed look: "Elves are a race with a very long lifespan. I will still be young until the day you die, big cat."
But as she spoke, her tone became a little lower.
Sometimes, a long life may not be so beautiful. A long life will leave deep memories. Perhaps because of this, the Immortals live in seclusion and avoid contact with the mortal world.
Time and friendship are sometimes more hurtful than the sharpest blade.
But Red looked very indifferent. He touched the scar on his cheek and said, "You know, Miss Attila. In our lion tradition, women are responsible for hunting and housekeeping, so some humans say that we Such guys are all lazy guys, haha!" He couldn't help laughing at this.
He smiled and said: "Actually, it's just the jealousy of ordinary people, but what they say is not completely unreasonable. But do you know, in fact, we lions will have the only hunt in our lives."
"Tell me, which girl has you fallen in love with again?" Aitila came back to her senses and couldn't help but smile: "Does our heroine have smooth claws this time, or a beautiful and supple tail?"
The lion laughed: "This is not a joke, Miss Etila, just like that prince, when we, the lions, come of age, we will go out alone to find a beast that is much stronger than ourselves. , and then kill it with only its minions."
"It was a life-and-death struggle," his tone was full of sighs: "Many people stayed there forever, leaving only a pile of bones. The wind, rain, and sand completely took their names away from this world. . But year after year, there will always be such a young man who will embark on the journey of his life——"
Aitila turned around and looked at him with her beautiful emerald green eyes.
Rhett filled up the tobacco with his paws, and then continued: "There is only one reason why we must do this, because the lion is responsible for guarding his home. If he is too weak, he will not be able to shoulder this responsibility."
He looked at Ed and said calmly: "And boys grow up to be men because of this."
"So today's wind has suddenly become sentimental?" Aitila blinked and couldn't help but smile.
The lion man also smiled slightly, but did not answer any more. He just picked up his pipe and narrowed his eyes.
"Let's go and see our big boys off," Miss Elf replied, "I wish them to grow up to be upright men soon."
In her slightly narrowed eyes.
The lizardman prince Teneric was handing a scimitar to Fang Plover, and then saluted him.
"My human brother," the lizard man warrior hissed: "The trials of the ancient sages can only be won by uniting together, and you are the captain of the team and know the human world better than me. I will listen to you in this trial. Arrangement—This is my saber, and it will symbolize our friendship.”
Fang Plover took the scimitar and nodded to the latter.
