Fang Plover looked ahead a little helplessly.
Tang Xin was holding Ai Xiaoxiao's hand and walking in front of the team as if there was no one around. She just treated him as if he were air, admiring the customs and customs around her without any distractions, without even looking at him.
The others were hanging far behind. Except for Attila and Jita who were a little worried, the rest of them were gloating and watching the good show. The big cat man was smiling, but Parker and Box had already been arguing fiercely——
As for what the two were arguing about, Fang Yu couldn't hear clearly and didn't want to understand.
Next is Tianlan, who sends him an innocent message from time to time. For example: 'Brother Ed, why is your sister ignoring you? ', 'Brother Ed, please go up and comfort her. ', 'Brother Ed, come on! 'Such information that seems to be caring actually contains evil intentions, fearing that the world will not be in chaos.
It made Fang Yu want to take this dead girl out and beat her up.
Only Sylvide was walking beside him. Seeing his embarrassment, she couldn't help but smile. Fang Yu noticed the latter's expression and turned around to look at her a little embarrassed.
With a smile on her face, Sylvester shook her head to indicate that she was fine, and pointed in that direction with her eyes.
Fang Yu understood what she meant and nodded. Then he bravely walked up and called out in a low voice: "Tangtang."
In the past, when he had quarreled with each other and provoked his cousin into a cold war with him, every time he softened his attitude and called the other person by his nickname, the other party would probably forgive him.
But this time the problem was obviously particularly serious. Tang Xin only glanced at him with a cold face and said coldly: "Now you know how to call me Tangtang? Sorry, my name is Tang Xin, you called the wrong person."
"Wow, Tangtang, you look so scary now." Ai Xiao's face turned pale with fright.
Tang Xin was so angry that she said angrily: "Ai Xiaoxiao, if you keep talking nonsense, I will break up with you!"
So the little girl could only look at Fang Plover helplessly and stick out her tongue, which meant that there was nothing she could do. Cousin, please wish yourself well!
"Tangtang," Fang Plover could only look at his cousin cautiously: "Don't be angry, didn't I tell you? I will definitely come to Aitalia, I remember telling you."
In fact, Tang Xin's form was not what he was most afraid of. What he was most afraid of was that the other person's eyes would turn red, and his tears would fall down as if he didn't want money.
He remembered the only time he made his cousin cry, when he was very young. Although his uncle and aunt didn't teach him a lesson that time, it was still fresh in his memory.
Because Tang Xin never sheds tears in front of outsiders.
She never cried like that again after that, but when she thought of what she was like at that time, Fang Yu was afraid from the bottom of his heart that she would cry again.
Fortunately, it didn't happen. After listening to his words, the other party just tightened his mouth and turned back to look at him coldly. "Fang Gezi, you have become more capable. You said you wanted to come to Aitalia, so you must come, right? Do you remember what you told my parents?"
Fang Plover was very aggrieved after hearing this: "Then, that word is plover, not pigeon."
With a puff, Ai Xiaoxiao on the side finally suppressed laughter. Facing Tang Xin's very dissatisfied look, the little girl quickly shook her hands and defended: "Tangtang, this is none of my business, it's just that your cousin is too interesting."
In fact, Tang Xin almost laughed out of anger.
But she gritted her teeth and looked at the other party angrily: "Didn't you say you were going to take a break? The break is behind the star gate, tens of thousands of kilometers away. Fang Gezi, isn't the distance for you a little too far? ah?"
Fang Yu felt a little embarrassed when he thought of his 'feat', and couldn't help but scratch his head: "But you know, I have to tell the truth, there is no way my uncle and aunt would let me go. From the bottom of their hearts, they don't want me to be a candidate." Summoner, you judge, Tangtang, what’s wrong with being a Chosen One?”
He took a gentle breath: "Everyone has their own dreams, Tangtang, of course I do too. I have always been grateful to your family for taking care of me. Uncle, aunt, and you, I regard them as my own family. Same. But there’s nothing wrong with chasing your dreams, right? What I did wasn’t something harmful to nature.”
Tang Xin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when she saw him like this. But she quickly shook her head and pretended to be cold: "So you lied? You lied to the people who are most willing to believe you. Have you considered my and other people's feelings?"
She paused for a moment, and said in a tone that said she hated iron for not being able to become steel: "Besides, the money left by your uncle and aunt is hoping that you will use it to do something more meaningful. Fang Gege, you used it to contact the smugglers for smuggling, you really have it." ability."
The more she spoke, the angrier she became, and her chest could not help but rise and fall.
Fang Yu knew that he was in the wrong. He was impulsive at the time and did not consider the consequences, just to realize his ideal. But in retrospect, that was indeed too reckless - now that he has matured a lot, of course he understands how much trouble his momentary irrational behavior caused.
He suddenly felt that he really needed to meet someone from the military. Because you have to bear the trouble you cause. No matter what the result is, always escaping is not an option.
He lowered his head and said nothing.
And Tang Xin couldn't bear to see him like this. She actually doesn't quite understand why her parents, who have always been open-minded, are so rigid on this matter. Her cousin's love and yearning for the world after the Star Gate can be clearly seen at a glance:
That is definitely not superficial, like Mr. Ye is fond of dragons. But the real ideal is the passion that can put in sweat and effort and turn it into practical actions. Over the years, she has seen her cousin's silent preparations in private, and even participated in it personally.
The other party's final choice was indeed a helpless one.
But it was so bold that she was startled——
Her tone softened: "Then what are you going to do?"
Fang Yu shook his head. He planned to have a showdown with the military. He had to make up for the trouble he had caused; but he was not in a hotheaded mood. After all, the plan had been set long ago, and now he was just putting it into action.
Tang Xin guessed what he was thinking and sighed: "My parents should be behind the Star Gate too. It's not the best way for you to avoid them. It's best to meet them."
Fang Plover nodded.
But the latter couldn't help but worry in his tone: "But what about your studies?"
"I already asked for leave from my instructor before I left," Fang Pultru then replied, "There should be no problems within two years."
This damn pigeon was prepared early - Tang Xin felt a burst of unknown anger in her heart, and her tone turned cold: "You are so well prepared."
Fang Yu was startled, knowing that the other party was angry because he didn't inform her of the incident. He wisely didn't say anything, thus avoiding the question.
But Tang Xin obviously had no intention of letting him go. She glanced at the ship officer not far away and asked calmly, "Who is she?"
Fang Yu always felt that her tone was very unpleasant, but he could only bite the bullet and answer: "She, she is Sylvide."
Tang Xin just rolled her eyes at him angrily: "Who asked for your name?"
Fang Yu looked at his cousin in confusion.
"Identity," Tang Xin replied: "She is not a young lady from an ordinary family, right? In Aitaria, I have seen only those noble daughters with such a temperament." She analyzed logically: "And she also has such a temperament. Not an ordinary noble lady——"
Tang Xin frowned and looked back: "How could she know her cousin?"
"Well..."
"Speak nicely," Tang Xin said angrily, "What is your relationship?" After asking this question, she herself blushed slightly.
Fang Yu also blushed after hearing this: "Well, Tangtang, this is my personal issue."
Tang Xin glared at him, bit her lip secretly, and replied coldly: "I understand, but be careful, you damn pigeon, beautiful girls can lie."
Fang Yu looked at her: "But Tangtang, you are also very beautiful, aren't you?"
Tang Xin was so angry at what he said that red clouds flew up her cheeks: "Fang Gege, are you stupid? I am your sister!"
Fang Pliance was speechless after saying this.
Then she took a breath, adjusted her mind, and looked at him a little suspiciously: "But why are you together? Is it another noble daughter who has fallen in love with a poor boy?"
But when Fang Yu heard this, he couldn't help being slightly startled.
But what he thought of at once was not other things, but the memories from El Paxin that suddenly came to his mind. Looking back on them all today, they are just like a dream.
"Mr. Captain, would you like to do me a favor?"
The words are still in my ears.
Fang Yu turned around and looked at his ship officer lady with some nostalgia. Sylvester was startled for a moment, then smiled slightly and only responded with a gentle look.
The beginning of it all can actually be traced back to that look back and encounter at Traveler's Rest.
Then came Dolifen's life and death relationship, and when Fenris was underground, the two of them were actually standing side by side.
Go to Unlayer Port to express your feelings...
In the end, everything turned into two intertwined shadows in the light of fireworks under the city of Du Lun.
Let Fang Yu understand in his heart that behind the mutual commitment between the two parties is his heavy responsibility to a woman. And it seemed to be just as the big cat man described - the process of a boy growing into a man.
Tang Xin didn't expect that her question would cause such a reaction. She silently watched the two of them looking at each other, and couldn't help but feel sad.
She suddenly regretted not coming to this world with her cousin. The cousin who had been obedient to her words since she was a child and was a bit dull seemed to have gradually moved away from her at some point.
Only then did Fang Yu turn around and replied: "Tangtang... the experience of getting to know Miss Sylvide and I is a long story..."
That tone was completely different from the big pigeon she knew.
But Tang Xin lowered her head and muttered in her heart: "How long can it last? It's only one year."
…
It was not easy to calm down the 'incident'.
After that, Fang Yu finally found a street cafe and told Tang Xin in detail about his experiences over the past year. Some of them are known to the latter, such as the Continental League and the identity of the stowaways.
But there are more things that the two of them don't know, such as Dolifen's strange fantasy chess game and the magnificent sea of rainbow clouds; and such as Fenris Island's turning the tide and the revival and reconstruction of Cloud Port.
It is a knight's story and a poet's ballad.
From Grande to Vanric, from the North to the South, some of the stories had details that even Sylvide had never heard before, so even the noble daughter was fascinated by them.
Tang Xin couldn't help but look at her cousin in surprise. From the experience of Dawn Star to becoming the enemy of the Dragon Worship Cult. It turns out that my cousin has experienced so much in the past year.
He is no longer the stupid pigeon he used to be. When she saw her cousin's face, she always felt that he was a little thinner, but also a lot more mature. There seemed to be a touch of wind and frost on that face, but it made her even more uneasy——
But after listening to this story, the most excited person was no one else.
But it was Ai Xiaoxiao, who was holding her friend's hand hard, with a look of excitement on her face. "This is the so-called adventure, right, Tangtang!?" The little girl's eyes were sparkling, as if she was immersed in those stories: "The flash of swords, the shadows of swords, the intrigues, the legends of heroes, and the thrilling conspiracies. It's so wonderful. Great! Tangtang, how great would it be if we were also in it?"
"Don't even think about it." Tang Xin's cold tone made the other party's fantasy burst like colorful bubbles.
"I, what am I thinking," Ai Xiaoxiao replied a little guilty: "That's all I said."
Tang Xin sneered and glanced at her friend, saying hehe.
But she turned around and only thought for a moment before saying to Fang Plover: "The military has spent a lot of effort to find you. It should have been not long after the Dawn Star incident. They contacted my parents immediately. . Later, your identity was exposed in the Continental League. According to Miss Sylvide...'s description, if it weren't for Her Royal Highness Princess Brianne, you would probably have fallen into their hands at that time..."
After hearing this, Fang Yu couldn't help but move in his position a little uneasily.
Everyone else also looked a little worried. The fact that Fang Yu was a stowaway had not been concealed from the rest of the team. The greater the commotion caused by this incident, the more serious the consequences would be.
Etila and Jita were more worried about Fang Plover himself, while others couldn't help but worry about the future of the team.
But only Sylvide was looking at the other party calmly and asked: "So, what does Tangtang think?"
This title made Tang Xin extremely awkward.
In her heart, only friends and cousins can call herself this. But she suppressed her displeasure and replied with a straight face: "What can I do? This is all caused by my cousin, a big idiot."
She snorted softly and looked at Fang Plover: "Smuggling into Stargate Port is such a big deal."
Fang Yu quickly looked away.
"Tangtang." Attila spoke at this time.
For some reason, there seemed to be a calming power in Miss Elf's tone, which made Tang Xin unable to have any rebellious mentality - not to mention that Aitila really cared about her cousin, and she could see this.
This elf lady always gave her a feeling similar to that of her mother.
Tang Xin sighed softly: "Actually, your idea is not unreasonable. The reason why the military is willing to spend so much effort to find my cousin is of course not just because he is a stowaway."
Fang Yu couldn't help but be startled after hearing this: "Is there such a thing?"
As soon as this stupid pigeon opened his mouth, Tang Xin was furious: "Have you forgotten something, dear cousin?"
Fang Yu looked at her confused.
"Do you still remember what you described about what happened at Traveller's Rest?"
"Nicold Bolas?"
"It has nothing to do with that," Tang Xin gritted her teeth. "It's the military's method of checking stowaways."
Fang Yu suddenly realized: "By the way, it's that instrument -" He couldn't help laughing when he remembered what happened at that time: "The military probably thought I didn't have a system, but they didn't expect that I already had Miss Tata by then. It was really risky at that time.”
"Is this the only one?" Tang Xin asked.
Fang Yu couldn't help but be stunned: "What else?"
Tang Xin glanced at him indifferently: "You also said that you have no system, and the military thinks so. But when you were in the Elf Forest ruins, did you forget how you performed?"
There was a confused look on Fang Plover's face.
But after a while, he suddenly let out an "ah" sound - and finally remembered that he seemed to have forgotten an important thing - probably because he was in this mountain. He had never cared about the multi-control ability he showed towards the Clockwork Fairy when he was at the Elf Ruins.
It was done without his system...
It's just that he didn't think there was anything wrong with that at the time. It was only later that he gradually completed the relevant craftsmanship foundation and learned about the level of other combat craftsmen, and then he realized that he was more flexible in construction. In terms of control, he may have some extraordinary talents.
But such a talent did not give him the idea of tracing back to his past actions.
The performance in the elven ruins at that time may be just ordinary to ordinary people who don't understand all this. But for the military, the meaning is quite different.
Because like himself, the military knew his identity as a stowaway and also knew that he had no system at the time.
This is a bit scary.
Fang Yu suddenly realized that he seemed to have made some mistakes.
Tang Xin just sighed slightly when she saw this. She was used to seeing him like this. She even sometimes felt that if she didn't take more care of her cousin, he would lose her too.
"Um..." Fang Yu couldn't help but stammered: "Tang Xin, you mean...actually, I thought wrong..."
Tang Xin shook her head: "That's not a big deal. After so long, the military still hasn't found my cousin. Actually, it's not a bad thing."
"Not a bad thing?"
Tang Xin looked at her cousin quietly and asked, "Which one will you choose, the free selector or the military selector?"
"Of course..." Fang Yu suddenly understood after being startled.
He paused, lost in thought.
"So in this case, instead of taking the initiative to show off your cards now, you might as well wait a little longer." Tang Xin glanced at the noble daughter on the side and bit her lip gently: "Miss Silverade is right, you are in need right now." It’s Rose Workshop’s support.”
Sylvide smiled lightly.
And Fang Yu was turning back to look at her.
The noble daughter's eyes flashed and she replied: "If you want to meet Delise's father first, you actually have an opportunity right now, Captain."
She whispered: "Delis and I have already met the Earl, and he also wants to meet you -"
"Tonight, there will be a small banquet at Rose Workshop."
