Before what happened at Elfendor's banquet that day had time to spread, everyone in the Seven Seas Travelers was ready to embark on the journey again. m.

However, Count Xilin-Spica and Master Ander finally adopted Fang's opinion and chose to find someone else as the successor of Rose Workshop. Of course, this 'finding another' itself did not happen overnight. After Luo Lin left, the remaining Lin En was obviously still a little lacking. The Earl himself seems to have the intention of cultivating an heir.

After all, he happens to be only forty-eight years old this year, and he is still considered to be in the prime of life at Aitalia's age.

As for the elf inheritance that Fang left in the council, he also got a lot of good benefits in exchange, including the elf heart. And the promise he made to Count Xilin Spica and others actually had another meaning.

After seeking advice from Sylvester and Tang Xin, he chose to leave the relationship between the Elfendor Council and the inheritance of the Rose Workshop, but he definitely did not walk away regardless of it. After all, he had contributed a lot to the Vanric incident, so naturally he couldn't give up his influence in the Nicol Bolas battle in vain.

Otherwise, in the eyes of outsiders, they would think that he was giving in and being weak, and would go even further.

He made this suggestion, and with the ability to continuously provide technical support to the Elfendor Council, he also had the means to contain the Council. The topic of ancient alchemy is so tempting. Under the division of this cake, the alchemists in the south will naturally make a choice.

At the same time, he is outside the parliament, eliminating the possibility of being trapped in it and becoming the target of criticism from others. It can be said that he is in an invincible position.

With this relationship, the Council has an interest relationship with him and Sylvester. Feelings between allies often cannot last long and dominate everything, but interests can often last for a long time and make the relationship between the two parties closer.

And in this way, even if someone like Pudra wants to repeat what happened to the Albert family, the Parliament and the southern nobles now have to consider the opinions of the majority of alchemists. Will avoid throwing rat traps.

In this way, the Seven Seas Traveler has achieved his goal, and even if he is not in Vanrik or the Southern Territory, he can still borrow the power of the Parliament.

This is what Fang calls 'bait'.

But what was different from the past was that he came up with most of this plan by himself, and it was just Sylvide, Tang Xin, Baggins and the big cat people who helped him perfect the details. The success of the plan also encouraged Fang Da because it meant that he, and even the Seven Seas Brigade, had taken an important step from a chess piece at the mercy of others to a chess player.

And then the Fairy Heart arrived.

This technological legacy left by Sylvide's grandfather and father, which has long been famous but has never been seen, was only allowed to see its true appearance after it was delivered to Mr. Gray Rock's platform.

It is placed in a huge container. After opening the black metal lid, you can see the dazzling main core crystal. It is about three meters long and one meter wide, and is carefully wrapped in a layer of cotton-filled silk.

The crystal stopped there quietly. The colorful crystal structure was restrained by large and small copper pipes. Its internal carvings were covered with dense alchemical circles, causing it to lose its original appearance. The whole body was more like a A container depicting layers of alchemical formulas.

The complex mechanical parts on its surface are made of the most expensive material that can be counted, and the structural body is made of fine gold. Mithril, which has the best conductivity, is used as a magic guide, just like the golden sky. silver light path on.

The dragon scales are used as magic insulation and at the same time act as an inner cushion, wrapping the transmission device made of fairy alloy below. Even the cheapest copper is not something commonly seen, but an enchanted product after repeated tempering by masters of alchemy.

Finally, it is covered with a layer of expensive magic black wood as the shell to be compatible with the magic transmission of the ship body.

This huge and exquisite device allowed Fang to truly see the luxury of top alchemy products. Because every part on it is not deliberately created for viewing or showing off, but has its own necessity.

It can be said that this is the most 'simple' design, and it has to be like this just to meet its staggeringly high 'indicators'.

Seeing this thing, Fang couldn't help but look at the ship officer on the side, and he couldn't help but blush a little when he thought of the Haikou he once boasted about.

'Fairy Heart' is just the name of this alchemical work, but it is actually the core part of the ship-type magic furnace, the main engine and crystal core. It is so complex and sophisticated, and the cost is high, but it is just one of the many large-scale equipment on the floating ship.

He was young and ignorant, and he actually agreed to build a floating ship. But when he saw this ship-type magic furnace, he realized how wrong he was.

The construction of the aerospace ship is one of the largest systematic projects in the history of Aitaria alchemy. It is not inferior to the giant structures or dragon knights of the past, and even surpasses it in some fields. Building a sixth-level frigate requires at least the cooperation of hundreds of craftsmen in a shipyard. It needs to be completed under the leadership of several large craftsmen, and countless funds are invested. Is this an exaggeration?

Although the Seven Seas Traveler is a concept ship, it is very similar to it, which can be seen from this crystal.

Fortunately, by chance, since the Fairy Heart, he has also gathered some strength in his hands, making such a fantasy as "building a floating ship" no longer seem to be an illusory goal.

For the first time it seemed somewhat visible.

Sylvide's green-white fingertips gently stroked the crystal, slightly lost in thought. Then the girl turned back to look at Fang, her eyes sparkling, and even though she didn't speak, she still made Fang's heart skip a beat. He could see the happiness and gratitude deep in the other person's eyes.

Maybe I'm glad I chose the right person.

With that little touch.

It's just that the relationship between the two of them doesn't require words like thank you at this moment.

Of course, the Fairy Heart is not really complete yet. It is just one of the many legacies of the Silver Tower and the various whimsical ideas about the Fairy Dragon Knight. From Luo Zhen down, every generation of the Xilin-Spika family Master craftsmen poured their heart and soul into it, including Sylvide's grandfather.

These masters have realized most of the ideas in this design. The only thing it lacks now is a magic furnace that can accommodate it, a matching dragon soul crystal, and the fairy dragon soul.

It's just that Fang has all three of them.

Needless to mention the Dragon Soul Crystal and the Fairy Dragon Soul, Tata was originally one of the important legacies of the Silver Tower Fairy Dragon Knight plan and one of the seven existing Fairy Dragon Souls in the world. And in fact, Tata cannot provide a definite answer to whether there are still seven Fairy Dragon Souls.

But at least, he has one in his hands right now.

The fairy gold left to him by Dawn Star, coupled with a batch of mithril sent by Hongye, also provided a material basis for the production of ship-type magic furnace. As for Fang's idea of ​​​​designing a magical furnace for ships, it came from Hain-Fum, which was the best design that could accommodate non-attribute crystals.

With these three in place at the same time, the core part of the Seven Seas Traveler becomes a reality within reach.

Of course, a magic engine-driven aeroplane can be imagined to be just a small boat. But after a successful design experience, the rest is just a matter of accumulating materials and funds.

Mithril, fine gold, dragon scales, and various precious magic crystals are rare, but behind the vast sea of ​​clouds, there are always all possibilities.

What's more, no matter how small the aerostat is, it is at least much larger than the platform behind Mr. Huiyan.

Before leaving Vanrik, there were always many trivial things that made people inseparable, but Mr. Fang had not forgotten that he had an agreement with the bishop of Yunzhi Port.

So on the third day before the date of departure, he met the other party's servant again. Under the leadership of the taciturn young man, he met the old bishop in a cafe outside Elfendo Square. Met.

That place happened to be directly opposite the hotel where Tang Xin and Ai Xiaoxiao were staying. Fang remembered that not long ago, he temporarily taught Cui Yu and Dill the ancient alchemy of Ragnarok here, and helped them win the competition.

He still remembered the middle-aged boss who was a little fat, and the other party obviously recognized him and asked him with some surprise: "Mr. Ed, do you still remember that you owe me an autograph?"

Only then did Fang remember what happened. He had promised the other party that if he won the championship, he would leave his signature. But so many things happened after the game, and he temporarily forgot about it.

But since the other party asked, he was willing to fulfill his promise. The chubby boss got his signature and happily said that he would keep it well. This was the signature of the young hero who saved Van Rick, and it might become a family heirloom in the future.

Fang returned to his seat. Bishop Tirion, who had been sitting there waiting for a long time, did not look impatient at all. The old man seemed as calm as ever. He raised his eyebrows and looked at this person with a wise look. young people.

Then he spoke: "Mr. Ed must be very curious about Toragotos?"

Fang didn't expect that the other party would get straight to the point as soon as he came up, so he couldn't help but nodded.

He was indeed very curious about Toragotos' experience.

From limited information, he already knew that the legendary green dragon was born underground in Fenris, but it avoided the same fate as all his brothers and sisters. It seemed to have reached an agreement with the dark god of the lizard man. , thus being able to leave Fenris Island.

After it left Fenris, it embarked on a traveling life that lasted for hundreds of years. It visited many places in Aitalia, and may even have traveled to the Second World, and left behind many legendary experiences. It was during this period that it forged extraordinary friendships with the Steel-Browd Dwarves and the Elves, and then returned to Fenris.

Returning to Fenris, it has become the most famous dragon in Corrin Ithurion, and possesses an unparalleled wealth. Even the Overlord of Corin Ithurion recognized Tolagothoth's rule in Fenris, and it became the local guardian of Cloudhaven for a century or two.

Fang only knew that after the other party returned to Fenris, he later left Fenris several times. The last one was to go to Nognis, rob the Saurian God's 'God's Body' from the Oshur Empire, and hide it in the hands of the Troglodytes.

That departure triggered the Battle of Bain thirteen years ago, and the 'God's Body' was later brought back to Fenris by the Tingyu Guild. It can be said that this incident was the beginning of all subsequent disasters in Fenris.

But other than that, he didn't know much about the legendary green dragon's experience.

Even if the other party finally fell to Idus, he didn't know whether he really died at the hands of Luo Lin or if there was something else hidden.

However, hearing what the old bishop said, Fang thought that the other party wanted to tell him in detail the origin of this legendary dragon and whether the other party's death in Idos was really true. But unexpectedly, the old man only mentioned this matter briefly, and then changed the topic and mentioned that Toragothos had visited the Treasure Staff Coast once before going to Nognis.

Although this information was a bit confusing, it still caught Fang's attention. Because he knew too much about the Treasure Staff Coast, whether it was the cold country to the west of the ancient pagoda, the hunters of the ancient king, or the running wolf emblem of the Logosl family that appeared repeatedly in his field of vision. , Nicol Bolas, and the Dragon Cult all seem to be inextricably linked to this place.

But regarding this, the old bishop said another thing: "After the disaster in Fenris, we have been paying attention to the changes in the underground dark forces. But there are some things that we have not mentioned to the outside world. After you left, Fenris The dark power underground in Reese has not actually been eliminated, but has become extremely active."

Fang was surprised when he heard this. The ring of golden flames on his body absorbed part of the power of the lizard-man Dark God, but after that, he didn't know whether the other party was dead or alive, or completely silent.

He also inquired about the Yunzhi Port afterwards, but he didn't get much. In addition to some rumors, the huge earthquakes during the Fenris Incident damaged the foundation of Fenris Island, causing the island to slowly sink at a rate of several meters per year.

The old bishop looked at his expression and said: "You guessed it right. The so-called earthquake damaged the foundation was the one we took the initiative to spread. In order to transfer the population of Fenris Island as soon as possible, because Fenris Island is really sinking. The reason is actually due to the reactivation of the dark power within it."

"How could this happen?" Fang couldn't help but ask.

But the old bishop didn't answer. He just looked out the glass window silently. His face was covered with age spots and wrinkles crisscrossed it. After a while, he turned back and said, "Before we left Fenris and headed south, the astrologers announced a new discovery."

"They observed that a new star appeared in the sky east of Corin Ithurion. This star had never existed before, as if it had grown out of thin air. And according to your classification method, it It has an apparent visual magnitude of sixth magnitude, is very faint, and has a bluish-white light. It occupies the southeastern sky and is in the lower left corner of the constellation Serpentus."

He looked at Fang carefully and said, "Do you know what that is?"

Fang was a little confused at first, but suddenly a possibility flashed in his mind.

The Serpent's Tail, the Black Throne.

The fire of Venus, the verdant star of misfortune

He suddenly raised his head and murmured: "Is that..."

The old bishop's eyes flashed with insight: "Young man, it seems that you really know this secret. Star's belief that you are a star-loved person seems to be true."

He then continued: "The lizard people's insight is far better than that of humans and elves, so they have long observed the star. They believe that the star is hanging alone on the shining sea, which is the ancient prophecy. The third disaster in the world, the third disaster star Zhan Qing."

"This is impossible..." Fang said subconsciously.

"Of course, no one knows whether all this is true," the old bishop replied: "But the lizard people have many unique inheritances of their own, some of which are areas that we have not yet been able to understand. But the reason why I agreed to go with them I came down south to find you because of some things in my memory."

Fang's expression also became serious, and he understood that what the other party was going to say next was the focus of this conversation.

The old bishop said: "Toragotos is the supreme guardian of Cloud Port. I saw him many times in the Mountain Palace when I was young. Of course, it had not revealed its true face at that time, but it was already old. So he especially likes to talk to us young people about his past travel experiences.”

"I was very close to it at the time, and the stories it told me were particularly detailed. I remember one time after it returned from the Baozhang Coast, it mentioned a peculiar tradition there, which it remembered deeply. The locals would Select a young man to find and kill a bipedal flying dragon. After cutting off its head, he brings it back to the tribe. They will repeat this strange tradition every few decades, and the locals call it "Pilgrimage" '."

"When Toragotos talked about this strange experience, I was actually a little curious. Because I realized that there is actually a similar tradition in Kaolin Ithulian. Do you know where that place is?"

Fang shook his head.

"In Idos," the old bishop replied word for word.

Fang raised his head in surprise and looked at the other party.

"The so-called 'Pilgrimage' is actually not a strange tradition, but an old thing of the Oath Keepers lineage. The hero Shujod's pilgrimage back then was actually the same. After that, I went to investigate the documents , and found that there are no such deeds in other cultures in Aitaria, only the Oathkeepers have been passing down such special cases from generation to generation."

The old man paused for a moment and then said: "Similar to Idos, on the Treasure Stick Coast, that place no longer exists. It used to be the territory of an ancient kingdom, and later it was assigned to the Kaolin Ishuli Anzhi. It was ruled by an ancient noble family. But over the decades, it is said that the noble family gradually declined and withered, and now there is only a decaying forest left in it, called Frost Glade."

Fang's heart moved. He had heard of that place because he happened to check the information there. That place was the territory of the Logosl family.

He had a vague feeling in his heart that some clues were surfacing.

The old bishop then said: "What you did during the Fenris Incident saved countless innocent lives. The residents of Cloud Port have nothing to say about it. Many of them don't even know whether you are dead or alive, but they know the inside story." I, however, must go south to find you and tell you the inside story due to both emotion and reason."

"Actually, before the Fenris incident, the Temple had quite a disdain for Tolagoth. In fact, since it returned from the Treasure Staff Coast, it has no longer easily contacted Mirela's believers and us. It shied away from itself. I am old and no longer enter the sacred realm of Mirela and Orli.”

"So I always suspect that something must have happened between it and the coast of the Treasure Staff. In fact, the lizard people also believe that the omen of the third woe star will first be fulfilled in the east."

He looked at Fang and said, "One more thing. In fact, Luo Lin is also from there."

Fang was surprised.

But the old bishop's purpose was certainly not as simple as what he said.

The dark power active underground in Fenris seems to fulfill the ancient prophecy of Gudasok, and in the eyes of the lizard people, this ancient prophecy should be applied to the 'Star-born'. Tirion traveled south with the lizardmen and Kalin Steelbrow, and found him not just for warning and reminder.

It's more about solving the impending crisis in Fenris.

Although neither of them knew exactly what kind of changes the identity of this so-called 'Star Favorite' could bring to Fenris. But for the old bishop, this seemed to be the only way to treat a dead horse as a living horse.

And Fang actually has no clue whether he can solve the crisis in Fenris. Even he was still confused as to whether he was a 'star-favorite' or not.

But he did not reject the other party directly, but said that he would investigate along this clue, because that was also his original purpose, and the two were not inconsistent. But as for the future results, that is naturally unknown.

Fortunately, the other party didn't force anything and just nodded in response to his answer.

Soon after bidding farewell to the old bishop, everyone in the Seven Seas Brigade finally continued their journey to the west.

Before that, Fang's uncle and aunt also arrived early, so Fang and Tang Xin immediately faced another storm. But compared to his cousin's cunningness, Fang is obviously much more honest.

Tang Xin very cleverly used Ai Xiaoxiao as a shield, but Zhang Rou was embarrassed to lose her temper in front of outsiders. Besides, she and Ai Xiaoxiao's parents were also acquaintances, facing this pitiful little girl who blinked and looked at her. , she had no choice but to glare at Tang Xin behind her, and waved her hand to let him go.

As for Fang, obviously his luck was not so good.

After a heart-to-heart talk, if Su Changfeng hadn't arrived in time, Fang would have been dragged back to Stargate Port by his aunt. Although they couldn't go back, it was another matter. However, after Su Changfeng took out the memorandum signed between Fang and the military and the relevant documents from Stargate Port, Tang Sheng and his wife naturally could not find any way to object.

No matter how strong Zhang Rou is, she cannot be an opponent of Stargate Port, not to mention that Fang violated the rules first, and Stargate Port's treatment of him can be said to be legal and compliant.

So she could only teach Fang a lesson in private so that he would remember the lesson in the future.

But as a woman, Zhang Rou couldn't help but be a little worried. After giving Fang some earnest advice, she couldn't help but blushing and said: "Your parents have left you in our hands. If you have any shortcomings, your uncle and I will How to explain to them?"

His aunt was playing the family card, and Fang could only scratch his head, thinking how could he be so easily in trouble, this was in Etalia, not on Earth.

Fortunately, this matter finally came to an end after Sylvide's arrival.

Fang also didn't expect that Tang Xin didn't report the matter between him and Sylvester. So much so that when Zhang Rou heard for the first time that Fang had found a girlfriend in Aitaria, she was almost so surprised that her eyes popped out.

The meaning of that expression is roughly: "Our pigeons can actually find girlfriends?"

However, after she and Sylvide had a long talk, Fang obviously changed from the center of this incident to a marginalized person who was no longer so important. So much so that when Ms. Zhang Rou found him and asked him about Sylvide, she said: "You are going to return to Earth in the future. What will happen to Sylvide?"

Fang was also a little troubled. Sophie had mentioned this matter to him before, but what could he do at once?

Zhang Rou looked at his face and knew that this guy had no idea at all.

She gave Fang a roll of her eyes and said, "Silverde is a good girl. You must be worthy of her. Stay in Aitalia and don't think about the earth."

Fang immediately turned to stone, with a look as if he had seen a ghost. There was only one thought in his mind: "Wait a minute, is there something wrong?"

Only then did Zhang Rou look at him with disgust: "A man must be responsible. Could it be that you, a young man, want to start chaos but give up?"

Then left him alone in a daze.

The second abbot was confused, so he found Sylvide and asked curiously what she had talked about with his aunt.

But after hearing this, Sylvide just whispered in his ear with some humor: "When your aunt saw me, Nini happened to be pestering me. Nini usually embodies the ether. She asked me that Who is it, I can only say that it is your daughter..."

"What!?"



Misunderstandings are always misunderstandings. Naturally, Ms. Zhang Rou quickly realized that it had only been a year and a half since their pigeons came to Aitaria. No matter how fast the two of them progress, they still can't have a three or four year old daughter.

However, this did not prevent her liking for Sylvester from growing day by day, and she became more and more satisfied with this future 'daughter-in-law', so much so that Fang's weak opinions were ignored from then on.

Of course, Fang's so-called opinions are actually just because Ms. Zhang Rou 'borrowed' Miss Ship Officer from him every three days, causing things on his side to be in a mess and no one to deal with it.

And such a messy day ended as scheduled when the Nanami Brigade left.

Early that morning, Tang Xin and Ai Xiaoxiao canceled their reservation at the hotel in advance and came to the woods where Mr. Huiyan was staying. It's not far from the Long Lake, and you can see the scenery beyond the Port of Vanrik at a glance among the groves.

But when Ai Xiaoxiao saw Mr. Huiyan, she was so surprised that little stars almost appeared in her eyes. She trotted over and came under this huge beast. She raised her head and wanted to touch the Gray Ridge Negative Hill Beast, but she was a little timid.

Finally, with Tianlan's encouragement, she carefully touched Mr. Huiyan's rough skin. The latter turned around a little confused, chewed the spar, and glanced at the little girl with his big eyes.

Ai Xiaoxiao was so frightened that she backed away with an 'ah' sound and bumped into Tian Lan. While Tianlan supported the former, she giggled to herself: "Don't be afraid, Mr. Huiyan has a good temper."

Ai Xiaoxiao slapped her chest, then turned around and shouted to Tang Xin: "Tangtang, come and see, this is my cousin's boat!"

Tang Xin rolled her eyes at her from a distance. However, when she stopped and looked at this huge thing, as well as the huge platform and air bag hanging on Mr. Huiyan's back, although she didn't say anything, she was inevitably a little complicated in her heart.

The most intuitive impression that Aitaria gives people is these giant beasts and scenery that are completely different from those on the earth, as well as all kinds of ships floating in the sky.

Along the way south from El Paxin, they also rode many aerial boats, from the flying wing boats affiliated to the El Paxin Artisans Association to the slow and huge aerostats of Grande, from the old-fashioned Merchant ships, and then to new warships.

The current platform is definitely not the largest one they have ever seen, not even the smallest one. But the emotional impact of a boat that belongs to oneself is completely different from that of someone else's boat. It's like a young couple has their first home that belongs only to them. It may be cramped, but the warmth in their hearts is like having a palace that belongs only to them.

It is as if he is the master of the world and has the confidence to conquer everything.

Tang Xin couldn't help but have an idea in her mind. This pigeon also performed some heroic deeds in Etalia that she could not have imagined. Nowadays, the various companions around him are no longer the virtual teammates in the past games.

Those are the people who truly agree with him and gather around him. And being recognized by so many people is an amazing thing in itself, right? In her opinion, both Miss Attila and the big cat man Red are upright and outstanding people.

She subconsciously thought of her mother's attitude towards Sylvester, and felt confused and uneasy for a moment.

"This lady?" came a breathless voice.

Tang Xin turned around with some surprise, and saw a fat man carrying a big shield, looking at a piece of paper in his hand, and asking her with a bit of sweat: "Is this the Seven Seas Brigade here?"

"Who are you?"

"My name is Luo Hao," the fat man said with a look of surprise at finding the organization, "Are you a member of the Seven Seas Brigade?"

"No." Tang Xin had a headache when she heard the name Qihai Brigade.

She and Ai Xiaoxiao are naturally their own faction. They obtained the glow substance from the military, so they are naturally stationed in Stargate Port. Only Ai Xiaoxiao complained about this status. She preferred to join her eldest cousin's team because Tianlan was also there.

However, this small opinion was ruthlessly rejected by Tang Xin.

"Huh?" Luo Hao looked confused.

...u
