Tang Sheng quickly came to his senses and replied: "When you said that, I seem to have some impression."
Fang Yu said in surprise: "Uncle, do you still remember how that notebook came about?"
"Well," in the picture, Tang Sheng's eyebrows tightened and came together. He lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "If I remember correctly, a friend gave it to me." He raised his head again, looked into Fang Plover's eyes and asked, "Little Plover, can you tell me the cause and effect in detail? "
Fang Yu nodded - his uncle's family were his only relatives in the world. Treating him as if he were his own, he did not hesitate to tell how he met the eldest princess and how the other party asked him to participate in the investigation of the attack ten years ago. , and also described things related to the construction of the Seven Seas Traveler.
"That is to say," Tang Sheng replied: "Because you are the only witnesses of that wandering alchemist, and you have nothing to do with the Istanian royal family or nobles, and you have nothing to do with the Blood Shark Pirates and the cultists. We are each other's rivals, so that's why Her Royal Highness the Princess will recruit you as a helper?"
His uncle's thinking was as clear as ever. Fang Pultru always felt that Tang Xin had inherited this trait of the other party, and also had the shrewdness and sharpness of his aunt Zhang Rou. He nodded again and added: "It's Princess Rupert." , she is the daughter of Babartan, the king of the sands, who is the king of Istania."
Tang Sheng was a little curious when he heard this: "But if I remember correctly, Istania is just a region of Kaolin-Ithurian. How come the region still has its own king?"
"Because Kaolin-Ithurian is an alliance kingdom," Fang Plover explained to his uncle: "It is actually divided into Kaolin and Ithurian kingdoms, among which Ithulian is a dwarf kingdom with its capital in The Forge Hall of Eldron. But in addition to Corin and Ithulian, the Alliance Kingdom actually includes other countries and regions, such as the Elves of Avenquin, the Kingdom of Istania Sand, and the Treasure Staff. The coast and the overseas territory of Nognes, as well as the Island of Giants, etc. Different regions still maintain their own traditional political systems, such as the Elven Queen elves have the Elf King, Istania has the Sand King, and so on. …”
Tang Sheng heard this with interest: "I didn't expect that you haven't been here long, but you know a lot about this world. It seems that you have learned a lot."
Fang Yu said smugly: "Uncle, actually I already knew this before I came to this world, and Tang Xin also knows a lot."
Tang Sheng said: "You have never told us this."
Fang Yu chuckled, scratched his head and said, "I'm afraid you and my aunt will beat me up."
Tang Sheng smiled after hearing this and said jokingly: "Don't let your aunt hear this."
Fang Yu was so frightened that he quickly looked around. It seemed that the omnipresent and omniscient Ms. Zhang Rou would come to him at any time along the etheric road, and then slap him down, turning him from Fang Yu into a dying one. Dead pigeon.
But after the explanation was clear, Fang Yu returned to the subject and asked, "Uncle, do you recognize the words in the notebook?"
"I don't know," Tang Sheng replied, "My friend likes to collect some weird things, but I haven't actually read that note a few times."
"That's it." Fang Yu was a little disappointed, but it was reasonable to think about it. If his uncle understood the words in the note, he would feel strange.
He thought for a moment and then asked: "Then can you still contact the person who sent you the notes?"
Tang Sheng also pondered for a moment, and then replied: "Speaking of it, he and I haven't seen each other for some years, but some friends should still know his whereabouts. If he returns to Earth, he should be able to contact him. But it will take time, that is I don’t know if you’re too impatient to wait.”
Fang Yu shook his head and said: "Uncle, I'm not in a hurry." Her Royal Highness has been waiting for ten years and is not in a hurry. Su Changfeng told them that the Star Gate will be repaired recently. In a month or two, Rupert The princess should be able to wait.
He turned back and looked at the notebook on the table. It seemed that there were only so many clues that could be recovered about this notebook for the time being. Before the uncle or the princess made further progress in the investigation, this line was temporarily disconnected. .
Tang Sheng asked again: "Little Plover, is there anything else?"
"No more," Fang Yu shook his head quickly and asked again: "How are you and your aunt lately?"
"Everything is fine. The scenery in Aitalia is beautiful, and the air here is also very good." Tang Sheng laughed: "Your aunt also likes this place, and she said she would come here more often during vacations, but In fact, she mainly wants to see you often, so you should stay here for a while, right?"
Fang Yu couldn't help but feel sore after hearing this. Looking at his uncle, he almost shed tears. He nodded quickly to cover up his gaffe: "Yes."
"Then you must pay attention to safety," Tang Sheng warned: "Little Plover, I actually support you and Tang Xin in pursuing your ideals. Although the process may not be smooth sailing, young people always have to experience some setbacks to grow up. But don’t blame your aunt, she just cares about you and takes different methods."
Fang Yu nodded again: "I know, uncle."
Tang Sheng added: "In addition, trusting one's word does not mean being reckless. Regarding the task given to you by Her Highness the Princess, you must understand what is within your ability - Little Plover, I believe you are doing the right thing, but the correct There are many ways to achieve things.”
"The key is to learn to use wisdom to protect yourself so that you can keep the green hills and don't have to worry about running out of firewood. And I heard that this place is not just a 'game'. There is no absolute safety. At critical moments, tens of millions of Don’t have your own way, be sure to think more about those behind you.”
Fang Yu listened and nodded seriously: "I understand, I will protect Tang Xin and myself."
Tang Sheng nodded with satisfaction.
After the two communicated for a while, Tang Sheng saw that it was getting late and told him to go to bed early as on earth, and then said goodbye to him and turned off the communicator.
Fang Yu couldn't help scratching his head. He and Tang Xin had very regular schedules on earth, going to bed on time and getting up on time every day. Ever since I went out to live alone, I have been like a wild horse that has escaped the reins, often turning upside down day and night, but young people always have such capital.
What's more, when venturing in Aitaria, not to mention the night watch, it is almost impossible to go to bed on time every day.
It is said that his cousin is a typical role model in other people's eyes in this regard, commonly known as other people's children - but here, he has gradually learned bad things from him. He still doesn't know that when he returns to Earth, his aunt will find out about this. How should I explain it later?
After turning off the communicator, he couldn't help but yawned, and his eyelids couldn't help but twitch a bit - they had traveled all the way from Tansnil to get to this place. They hadn't had much rest on the way. After meeting the princess, they studied their notes for a long time. , already very trapped.
He closed the note, put it away carefully, and prepared to go to bed early. Back in the room, Luo Hao, Parker and Xiang were still in good spirits. The three of them were playing Landlord on the bed. This ancient card entertainment has been passed down to this day since more than a century ago - and because playing cards are very easy to imitate, Also spread in Kaulin-Ithurion.
"One to two!"
"I can't afford it."
"Exploded!"
Parker jumped three feet from the bed and threw the cards in his hand on the bed.
Luo Hao was so angry that he slapped the little man with his backhand, beating the little man like a gourd on the ground, and said angrily: "The box is the fucking landlord, are you undercover? This is already the second time!"
"Wrong, wrong!" Parker quickly begged for mercy.
When the three of them saw Fang Plover pushing out the door, they asked him if he wanted to participate. Fang Plover was speechless about the trio playing cards. In fact, he had no idea how this card game spread within the Seven Seas Brigade. Recently, Xixiang, Luoyu, and Papalar stopped even playing the beast-fighting chess that they were originally very passionate about.
Along the way, we just watched these three people playing cards. But he shook his head, saying that he was really sleepy.
Luo Hao couldn't help but feel angry. He shook his flesh and said angrily: "Boss, why don't you replace this bastard? I suspect that this Papalar man did it on purpose."
Parker waved his hands quickly: "Absolutely not, absolutely not."
Fang Yu looked at the two of them and said, "Then just let him pay."
Luo Hao rolled his eyes and thought of this proposal, so he didn't care about Parker screaming like a slaughtered pig, and pressed the latter on the bed, took out his wallet and came out to pay.
Seeing that the three of them were having a lot of fun, Fang Yu couldn't help but shook his head, and then walked towards his bed. In fact, Her Highness the Princess certainly would not arrange a room for the four of them, but when they were out, everyone still chose to live together with basic vigilance.
He lay on the bed with his hands behind his head, recalling the experiences and details of the day - and was about to close his eyes, but suddenly, the communication crystal on his chest vibrated slightly.
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, and when he looked down, he saw that the dark crystal was flashing with red light. Someone was looking for him so late. Who could it be? He opened the Dragon Knight's system light page with a flick of his hand, only to find a familiar number flashing in the communication column——
"Miss Scarpe?" Fang Yu was slightly startled and quickly clicked on the number.
The light page flashed, and Scarpet's face appeared on the other side of the screen.
Seeing the other party, Fang Yu couldn't help but think of what the old scholar had said to him not long ago. Regarding the team named 'Dawn Star' that discovered the Abyssal Scroll in the Battle of Bain more than ten years ago, is it related to the Dawn Star that he later met?
And in the Battle of Byrne, what happened to Dawn Star?
But before he could ask this question, Scarpe looked at him suspiciously and asked:
"You're still up so late?"
What is this all about? Fang Yu was speechless for a while. If he fell asleep, would anyone else answer this communication? What kind of nonsensical questions is Miss Scarpet asking?
Scape seemed to see his doubts, and then said: "I just gave it a try. If you were not here, I originally planned to contact you again tomorrow."
As she spoke, she looked around mysteriously: "Isn't it the ship officer who happened to disturb you and you?"
Fang Plover rolled his eyes: "Silverde is not here."
"Really?" Scarpe gave him a meaningful look: "But I heard that you and Sylvide are living together, Alyssa told me."
Fang Plover is one head and two big, so how come Miss Nightingale not only spread rumors within the team, but also spread the rumors to Scarpe. And this rumor is simply not true, okay?
Scarpe then calmed down and said, "Okay, let's get down to business, little fool. Actually, I have something serious to do with you."
"Huh?" Fang Yu was slightly startled.
"You're still in Istania, right?"
Fang Plover nodded.
"That's okay," Scape said in a more serious tone: "Big things may happen at the Star Gate recently. You'd better pay attention to your safety, and don't go to places that are likely to cause trouble."
She paused: "I heard that Istania has been relatively calm recently. It's good for you to stay there, but be careful not to be too far apart from each other. It's best to keep in touch."
She finished speaking very quickly, her tone a little hasty.
However, these nonsense words made Fang Yu a little confused. He couldn't help but fiddle with the light page. He thought there was something wrong with the simultaneous interpretation system, but all the information on it showed normal. .
Then he asked: "What do you mean?"
"It's hard to explain," Scarpe replied: "I did not use the public communication channel of Stargate Port this time, but found a private line to contact you. The confidentiality is not that high... but this is a last resort. , in short, please remember my words."
"I may not be in contact with you for a long time, but don't worry, there's nothing big going on here..." Scape organized her words: "When things stabilize, Quilod and I will take the initiative to contact you, but this time Time, you have to protect yourself carefully."
Monk Fang Zhanger was confused and asked, "What is stable?"
Scarpe didn't answer him: "You will understand when the time comes. Do you remember what I said, little fool?"
Fang Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded - literally speaking, Miss Scarpet's words were not difficult to understand.
But he opened his mouth and was about to ask the other party about something about the Yuan Hai scroll thirteen years ago, and whether the Dawn Star was the Dawn Star he knew. But just as he was about to speak, the video was turned off without any warning.
As a result, Fang Plover's open mouth couldn't be closed for a long time.
The Miss Scarpet he had seen in the past, although resolute and resolute, was not in such a hurry. He always felt that the other party's expression seemed to be in some kind of trouble, and he couldn't help but feel worried. Why did the other party inexplicably use a private line to contact him?
Could it be that Dawn Star has caused some official trouble?
He knew that the other party was still in Stargate Port. If he was really targeted by Stargate Port, he might not even have many places to hide.
Fang Yu hesitated again and again, and was not sure whether he should ask Su Changfeng about this matter. Although the Dawn Star is currently under the jurisdiction of the Russian National Stargate Agency, the Stargate is a United Nations condominium area after all. This matter cannot be solved by the military. Fang shouldn't have any news at all.
But Fang Yu reached halfway and took it back. After all, he was not sure which party Scarpe had gotten into trouble. If he acted rashly, would he put the other party in danger? Miss Scarpet told him not to worry. Did she imply that he should not act rashly and wait for the matter to be resolved?
Subconsciously, of course he trusted Scarpe unconditionally, but emotionally speaking, he still couldn't help but feel worried. So he took another look at Sophie's communication number and saw that the other person's profile picture was still hidden, so he probably wasn't there - but after thinking about it for a while, he made a final decision and decided to ask the little princess of Silver Wisland first. will betray him.
With his calculations in hand, he felt a little more settled, and was not in a hurry to put down the communication crystal. Although his mind was a little confused after such an experience, he couldn't help but prepare to fall asleep when he felt sleepy.
But at this time, the communication crystal actually vibrated again.
Fang Yu was slightly surprised, thinking that Miss Scarpe had sent another message, so he quickly clicked on the light page to take a look - but this time, the avatar there was dark, just like the 'R' at that time, showing Draw a silhouette of a man, with a 'question mark' above the silhouette.
Then from behind the silhouette, an audio message came.
"Mr. Ed, do you still remember me?"
Fang Yu was slightly startled because it was a man's voice, obviously not Miss Scarpet. He couldn't help but look at the other person's ID, only to find that the ID on the profile picture had the five English letters 'Shana' written on it.
He immediately remembered the other party. Although he had never been able to pass the test due to the 'margin' skill, the last time he contacted these people was almost half a year ago. But he still remembered very clearly the mysterious man who gave him two training software, the 'Multiple Parallel' and 'Margin' techniques.
But speaking of it, the two have been communicating through private messages on the community. This was the first time that the other party took the initiative to find him and sent him a voice message.
After being slightly surprised, he immediately calmed down and asked, "What's the matter?"
Shana smiled lightly and asked, "How did you do with Mr. Ed's 'question'?"
"There has been some progress," Fang Yu thought for a moment and replied truthfully: "But the later part is a bit too difficult, and I don't have a clue yet."
"It doesn't matter," the voice said: "'Margin' is also a very cutting-edge field in the world of combat craftsmen. Mr. Ed doesn't have to rush."
Fang Yu was slightly startled. Although he had expected it, he was still quite surprised when the other party actually said that. It seemed that those people really knew what the things they gave him meant.
But why would the other party provide such important knowledge to him so easily?
He replied with some uncertainty: "Thank you."
At the same time, Fang Yu also vaguely felt that the way Shana talked to him was a little different from the past, which always made him feel that the two were not the same person.
"You're welcome, but this time I want to ask you to do me a small favor," Shana replied: "Because I can't find the right person at the moment, I can only find Mr. Ed. Of course, I will never let him Your help is free, and we will give you a reward equal to the market price."
Fang Yu remained calm, only frowning slightly. The other party started contacting him almost a year ago, and his purpose is still unknown.
Or is the other party finally going to reveal its true intentions?
He asked again: "What's the business?"
"A small favor," Shana emphasized: "Can you help us deliver some things to a designated place?"
"What is it?" Fang Pliance asked immediately. He almost naturally thought of the Rain Listener, who was also helping a mysterious man escort some things to Fenris Island.
Although all clues afterwards pointed to the Rainlistener's employer being Toragotos or one of the wanderers, other possibilities could not be ruled out. Fang Yu was very wary of this issue and almost subconsciously thought about it.
Unexpectedly, Shana said: "Mr. Ed is an alchemist, can you help me make one hundred and twenty sets of 'Drake' I, II and III type suits and 'AA' type magic furnace, and then Delivered to Hanshui Port."
"What port?" Fang Plover was shocked - why is it Hanshui Port again, and he is still inseparable from Baozhang Coast, or something? 'R' also asked him to go to Hanshui Port, and now 'Shana', whom he had never met before, also asked him to send things to Hanshui Port.
Moreover, the 'Drake' suit and the 'AA' type magic furnace are actually novice suits for the selector. Type I is the strength type, type II is the agility type, type III is the intelligence type, and there is also a type IV craftsman. Special type.
The other party wants so many novice outfits, is it planning to establish a new guild in Hanshui Port?
"Hanshui Port." Shana confirmed.
Fang Yu couldn't help but ponder for a moment. To be honest, although this person was extremely mysterious and his purpose was unclear, he really helped him a lot - whether it was the 'Multiple Parallelism' technique or the 'Margin' technique. good.
For him, this is really just a small favor. One hundred and twenty sets of novice suits and AA-type magic furnaces. The materials are very simple and don't cost much. Moreover, the other party also said that the remuneration will be in line with the market price. In addition, he also has to go to Hanshui Port, which sounds like a piece of cake.
So he thought for a moment and didn't refuse. He just asked: "What's the specific ratio? What time is left?"
Shana replied: "Within four months, there is a list here."
After that, the other party sent a list via private message.
Fang Yu took a quick glance and found nothing unusual. And four months should be more than enough to build the Seven Seas Traveler. Although they are still responsible for the mission of Her Royal Highness, investigating the attack ten years ago will not happen overnight.
Those wandering alchemists may not necessarily stay in Istania, so Her Royal Highness did not limit them to stay in this place. In fact, if there were such conditions, he would not have agreed at the time.
So he thought for a moment and then nodded slowly.
"If it's just that, I can consider it."
"It's okay," the other side replied: "I'll wait for your reply, Mr. Shana."
Fang Yu looked at the darkened communication crystal and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
That night, the several communications that came from this connection always gave him some subtle premonitions, as if everything was colliding together. Combined with Miss Scarpet's words, it seemed that he had a feeling that something was about to happen. a feeling of.
