Sylvide was quietly watching the flames of Idus rising into the sky. The twinkling stars were reflected in the depths of her eyes. Among the deep pupils, the eyes showed a strange light purple color, because they reflected the night sky, and the stars inside were colorful.
The big cat man handed the communication crystal to Baggins, and the boatswain handed it to her. The ship officer lady turned around, nodded gently, took the crystal from Baggins, and held it gently in her hand, with a playful smile on her lips.
A light screen was projected in front of her, illuminating the girl's snow-like skin, and Fang Plover's frowning expression appeared on it. Because Sylvide did not have a system, she could only use an external projection light screen. She took two steps back to prevent outsiders from seeing the light on this side of the valley.
"Sylvid."
"The captain is fine, I'm relieved."
On the side, Alyssa looked at the couple with interest - the noble daughter had a kind of generosity that was very rare among women on earth in this era, which made her feel very interesting about the situation of 'Captain Ed'.
Fang Plover coughed slightly, pretending to be serious and said: "...Silweid, I have encountered some problems here."
"oh?"
Only then did Fang Yu describe what happened before.
After hearing this, Sylvide didn't care about anything else. She just smiled and asked, "So, is Miss Eve beautiful? How does she compare with that sea witch?"
"Huh?" Fang Plover immediately got stuck: "Silverde, this, this has nothing to do with that matter..."
"You met Miss Miya, right?"
"this……"
"She contacted me."
"that……"
The ship officer smiled like a little fox and covered her mouth slightly. "Don't worry too much, Captain - it was actually Tianlan who relayed it. She only cared about the Seven Seas Brigade - and if it is Miss Miya, I may not mind."
Of course, Fang Yu would not believe a word of this. This noble daughter's ability to deceive people was first-rate, and he would not fall for it again and again. Moreover, the relationship between him and Miya was innocent at the moment, and he did not think that the Sea Witch would get entangled in these trivial matters.
Fang Plover wittily changed the subject and said, "Okay, Sylvide, let's get down to business."
Sylvide smiled and then replied: "Captain, Mr. Bunigou is with Luo Yu and Parker - but before calling people over, can you take a look at Miss Eve's ring? ?”
sure. Fang Yu nodded, placed the ring in his palm, and presented it in front of everyone.
Sylvide took a look, with a look of understanding in her eyes, and replied: "This ring is not very similar to Mr. Bunigou's ring."
"indeed so."
Fang Yu nodded, but looked at his ship officer with some surprise - in his impression, his ship officer would not say such 'seemingly correct nonsense'. The two rings are certainly different, and it can even be said that they have no similarities.
Because it's not like he hasn't thought about it in this direction. If there were any problems, he would have discovered them long ago.
But Sylvide changed the topic and said: "But it's not completely different. In fact, we just habitually use the latter to compare with the former. But on the other hand, Mr. Bunigou's ring seems to be related to this ring. There are some similarities. Captain, please don’t rush in and let me explain to you one by one——"
When she saw Fang Plover was about to speak, she interrupted him: "...I have a certain understanding of Aitalia's ornaments, heraldry and aristocratic aesthetics since I was a child. The patterns and images on Mr. Bunigou's ring are actually... It was born out of this ring. The reason why it doesn’t look like it is because the former is just a poor fake of the latter.”
"The captain has seen the Hailin Crown, so let me use the Hailin Crown as an example."
"...As one of the three treasures left by the elves of Numerin (actually it is the four treasures, but ordinary people are accustomed to using the three treasures), just like Ithulian's Holy Sword of Morning Light, there are many folk stories about the sea. It is a statue of Hailin Crown. This Elf Laurel Crown often appears in various appearances in sculptures, paintings and even painted scriptures. However, the image of Hailin Crown in these works is different, and some of them are similar to those of Hailin Crown. The original version was very different.”
Fang Plover opened his mouth, but Sylvide said first:
"...The captain may say that there are also similar works among these works. That is normal, because after all, the Hailin Crown has appeared in the world, there are always some witnesses, and there are also some ancient documents about its appearance. Otherwise, how could the Captain himself recognize Hailin Crown?"
"It's just that as time goes by, the image of Hailin Crown becomes more and more distorted. This is because the crown has been lost for a long time. Through word of mouth, no one knows which of the many images of Hailin Crown in history is the right one. Real. But although they are distorted, they still retain some basic characteristics and will not change. This is due to the characteristics of the written records themselves - some characteristics are easy to express in words, such as dimensions and numbers."
"And this kind of distortion is actually similar to this ring."
Fang Yu was stunned for a while when he heard this. At this time, Miss Tata also lost no time in telling him that there was such a situation about Hailin Crown. It's just that Fang Yu looked at the ring in his hand, but he couldn't see any similarity with Bunigu's one.
But he was not stubborn and simply asked: "What does this prove?"
"It proves that in the Dragon Worship Cult, some people have seen the written description of this ring, but have never seen the actual ring. So they reproduced the ring based on the written description for identification and research, which led to such an absurd situation. distortion--"
"Wait a minute, what does this have to do with the Dragon Worship Cult? Isn't this something from Bunig's grandfather's generation?"
Sylvide smiled: "What the captain is worried about, there is actually some progress on Baggins' side."
Next she recounted the question and answer between Baggins and Bunigou.
Fang Yu listened silently, and was actually not too surprised.
He had known that Bunigou hadn't told them the truth——
However, Baggins was a little surprised that Baggins could handle this matter alone. It seems that there are many talents in the Seven Seas Troupe. In addition to Miss Attila and Mr. Reid who can stand alone, Sylvide and her people are also extraordinary.
This moment made him, a half-assed 'captain and leader', feel a sense of urgency.
However, Fang Yu agreed with Baggins' statement.
It was really unnecessary for Buunigu to do this. In fact, even if he told them directly about this matter, they might not be able to help him. But when I think about it carefully, as strangers meeting for the first time, it is normal for the other party not to completely believe them, and I feel relieved.
He looked at the ring in his hand and asked Sylvide: "Are you sure?"
"Eighty to ninety percent sure," Sylvide replied: "I have studied aristocratic heraldry and the major art schools of Corrin-Ithurion since I was a child. I also have a certain understanding of the aesthetic preferences of different regions in the kingdom. This ring The patterns on it should have been made by craftsmen from the Baozhang Coast area."
"I can try to deduce the original text expression based on the pattern style on the fake, and then further infer the original appearance of the fake. Of course, I can't imagine it out of thin air, but seeing the real ring , I can conclude that there must be such a relationship between the two."
Fang Yu tried to straighten out the relationship between these words. He said: "In other words, the ring given to him by Bunigu's brother-in-law was actually a fake by the Blood Shark Pirates - or the Dragon Worship Cult based on a description and used to identify the substitute of the real thing."
"The Dragon Worship Cult got a description of the appearance of this ring from some unknown source, but they have never actually seen this ring, so they caused such a distortion. They themselves should also be aware of this distortion, so Only then would Bunigou’s brother-in-law, a genuine archaeologist, be found to come to the field to identify the authenticity of the ring – to prevent the phenomenon of being ‘blind to the eye’.”
Fang Yu frowned slightly.
This statement is almost consistent with his inference.
The 'Resurrection Sect' in the Dragon Cult seems to have such an embarrassing situation. They know what happened to Dolifen thirty years ago, but they have some specious information - such as the true location of the Dragon's Heart, and What exactly does this ring look like.
But there are really people in history who have experienced all this——
Eve said that someone stole half of the power of Dragon Heart thirty years ago. That person could not be a fiction. After all, Dolifen's disaster really happened thirty years ago.
The text description of this ring also shows from the side that at least someone has seen this ring before writing such a description. I just didn't know that the relevant written records would fall into the hands of the Dragon Worship Cult later, and they would fake the ring in Bunigu's hand and come here to discover the legendary 'Dragon Heart'.
However, Fang Yu looked at the ring in his hand and felt a little suspicious. If anyone has seen this ring, did Eve also have dealings with that person thirty years ago? But in this case, since the other party knew that the ring was worn on Eve's hand, how could he specifically describe the ring?
Wouldn’t it be more intuitive to describe Eve’s image?
Still saying that there is another mystery behind the ring.
Fang Yu put away the ring, feeling vaguely that he was very close to the truth - Luo Lin, Depra, and the 'Resurrection Sect' in the Dragon Worship Cult, plus the mysterious 'Fourth Party' that appeared now, the Dragon What happened before and after the Witch's Disaster to cause these people to split into so many factions?
The answer is obviously buried under the yellow sand of this ruin.
Thinking of this, he made a plan in his mind, raised his head and said to Sylvide: "Bunigu's brother-in-law will definitely not give this ring to Bunigou for no reason. Why should he take this risk? It must be to convey some kind of message to Bunigu——"
"In other words, if the other party just wants Bunigu to find him, all he needs is a letter. But he used this ring as evidence because there are some more critical clues on it. Fortunately, we don’t need to guess what it is, as long as we find the other person, everything will come to light.”
"And Miss Eve told me about a place, which is the underground of the Idos City Hall. Now that she has been kidnapped, I plan to chase the people who are descendants of Flor. If I can't catch them, I will go with Miss Etila will go to the underground of Idos City Hall first. After all, Miss Eve has mentioned that place repeatedly, there must be something key there."
Fang Yu paused for a moment and then said: "Don't go back to the platform first. Buunigu's ring is in Parker's hand now. Sylvide, do me a favor. I'll leave it to you and Mr. Big Cat Man to have full authority over there." Take responsibility, please find this person—Mr. Bunigou’s brother-in-law.”
"I think the truth about the Dragon Witch incident a hundred years ago lies between these two things."
Sylvide was not surprised at all when she heard this. She looked at the others, then turned back and asked: "Master Captain, don't you plan to join us first and then make a long-term plan? Isn't it too hasty to act in a hurry now?"
Fang Yu shook his head: "There are also Dragon Knight-level characters among the Blood Shark Pirates. The Dragon Fire Guild and the Rain Listeners are also not easy to mess with in the eyes of the Seven Seas Brigade. But at the moment, Flor's The appearance of the descendants has hindered the highest combat effectiveness of both sides on the battlefield, which is the best time for us to act."
In fact, Sylvide didn't really want to object.
It's just that as a competent ship officer, he reminds his captain not to act blindly. Seeing that Fang Plover was still thinking clearly, she nodded: "Okay, leave it to us here. Although some of the air pirates have entered the tunnel, their home field is still on the ground after all, so there shouldn't be any problem if we infiltrate again. big."
"Then be careful."
The noble daughter's eyes flashed slightly, revealing a hint of tenderness. She was silent for a moment, and then whispered: "Of course, please be careful, Captain."
Fang Plover nodded.
Next, he didn't say much. He just called Bunigu and asked him about the approximate location of the Idos City Hall. In fact, both Sylvide and Kita have read relevant documents and can tell the location of the city hall. However, compared with their understanding of the underground world, they are naturally not as good as the smugglers who have "family origins". Descendants of merchants.
But Bunigu actually only knew the place roughly, and told him stammeringly that it was not far from the place where the 'Dragon's First Scale' was located. It's just that the underground passages under the city hall are not similar to the underground passages in other places. It was originally an underground prison for the fortress where the kingdom's governor was stationed, so it is not connected to the outside world.
Bunigu mentioned that there was a huge cave for hiding soldiers and an underground fortress, but the entrances all around were sealed, so it was not easy to enter. The only possibility is that the tunnel collapsed during the disaster a hundred years ago and another entrance appeared.
This possibility is very high. Along the way, Fang Plover also encountered many such passages that did not exist before. However, during the disaster, new passages were formed due to the collapse of other parts of the tunnels. Of course, there are also cases where there were originally pathways that have now become dead ends.
Therefore, he couldn't completely place his hope on this. If there was really no other way, returning to the ground and entering the ruins of the city hall would be another way to find the entrance to the underground from there. But the latter is naturally much more dangerous. After all, the descendants of Flor are fighting fiercely with the blood shark air pirates on the surface.
It was late at night, only a few hours before dawn.
Therefore, after the division of labor between the two parties was completed, they no longer wasted any more time and immediately split up.
Fang Yu took Etila out of the natural cave where the 'Dragon's First Scale' was located. Before leaving, he took one last look at the dark underground river behind him, where he and the Dragon Witch not long ago fought against Fu. The experiences of those descended from Lore are still fresh in their minds.
But in the blink of an eye, everything has changed.
But he silently thought of Miss Scarpe, the same way he carried Miss Scarpe on his back and left the tunnel under the elf ruins. But who would have thought that that would be the last memory he would have in Dawn Star. It was like going back in time at this moment——
However, the enemy is still the descendant of Flor.
It's just one more Dragon Worship Cult.
Fang Yu remained silent and said nothing.
I just silently made up my mind that no matter what, I must at least give Eve an explanation. Let's take a look at what happened a hundred years ago, and the reason why she has been stranded here - Karatu and Yoshid, and why they wanted to keep the 'Dragon Heart' in this place.
Did the dragon-slaying hero really just miss the girl in his heart and let her wander in this dark underground? But in that case, why did he let Eve stay here alone for a hundred years? Didn't he promise to his beloved girl that she would definitely come back?
The two walked out of the underground river and came to the hall outside. In fact, Fang Plover still had a trace of luck in his heart - but the square hall was silent and dark at the moment, and there was no kind person on the tall rock. The girl was singing softly.
Even the cold light above the vault disappeared at this moment.
Fang Yu lit up the lighting crystal and only found the Screaming Banshee that he had smashed in the messy hall. He silently picked up the flexible structure, patted the dust on it, and put it back on his backpack.
The two walked out of the hall and found the secret door they had entered before. The scene outside the secret door was exactly the same as Etila described. The ground was covered with dark, stacked crystal fragments. Fang Yu bent down and picked up a piece, which was exactly the same as the crystal fragments that Attila had seen with him before.
He looked around again, and saw that the hole from which the flames spewed was still there, but the originally molten rock had now completely condensed. The purple flame monster seemed to have never appeared again since he saw it in the seal.
Fang Plover had a vague feeling that that thing might be related to the Dragon Heart.
And he was about to continue to move forward. At this time, the ground suddenly shook violently. Fang Yu raised his head and felt a violent earthquake, which seemed to come from the ground above his head.
…
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: Shukeju
