"So, what exactly is going on, Sylvide?"
Fang Yu looked at Alyssa and then at Sylvester. Fortunately, he was already accustomed to Miss Nightingale's various subtle metaphors and little gossips.
After collecting himself, he decided it would be best to take over the conversation himself. This is the experience he has gained from many bloody lessons - it is best not to follow the other party's train of thought - otherwise you may fall into some language trap again.
So he turned around and asked straight to the point.
Regarding his wisdom, Sylvide only smiled slightly and replied: "The old gentleman wants to see us. To be precise, he wants to see you again, Captain."
"What's the meaning?"
"It's Mr. Alfan, the captain, the old scholar who escaped from the slave traders."
Fang Yu was startled for a moment before he remembered the other party.
Sylvide added: "It was Mr. Achilles who sent the news on his behalf."
Fang Yu knew clearly that Princess Rupert was still in Bargo and should not have left Ms. Farid.
"Are you at the same place?" he asked.
"It's at the same place." Sylvide nodded.
…
When a group of people walked out of the eldest princess's manor, the direct sunlight in the desert during the day almost dazzled everyone.
However, Fang Yu was still thinking about what he had heard before, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He just raised his head and looked at the towering hills in the distance. The hot wind carried the gray-yellow sand swirling from the top of the hills. To the distance, disappeared.
As if on a whim, the old man Alfan suddenly told them about the Yuanhai Scroll. He originally thought that the other party had clues about the slave traders, but he did not expect that this was not the case.
He still remembered the old man's stern gaze in the dim light not long ago - the other party stared at them with a meaningful expression and asked: "Do you want to know why the Dragon Worshipers are interested in the Yuanhai Scroll?"
Fang Yu pursed his lips and pondered for a moment. It's not that he hadn't thought about this, but there was all-encompassing knowledge in the Abyssal Scroll - only part of it was related to ancient alchemy, and more of it was hidden behind the mist. The part that feels unknown and uneasy.
Therefore, because he had too little information, it was really difficult for him to judge.
He only corrected in a low voice:
"Those are blind followers, Mr. Alfan."
"Absolutely." Alfan didn't care about this: "In fact, whether it is Lifgard or the blind god Descartes, the nature of their believers is not much different. They are looking for the whereabouts of the Abyssal Scroll, just to find the elves. Just the Holy Grail.”
"Elf Holy Grail!?"
"You don't ask the elves about the Holy Grail. It seems that you know something." Alfan looked at him with bright eyes: "Part of the Abyssal Scroll is the clue left to the mortals by the Numerin elves about the Holy Grail."
"Part of it?"
"Only a very small part," Alfan replied: "We found that the Abyssal Scroll mainly comes from two eras, one is the more recent Numelin era, and the other is the longer Xinthus era. According to legend, the earliest and most recent The ancient Abyssal writings all come from the knowledge the snake people gained from the black comet..."
"Yes, it comes from the black comet, the creation stone worshiped by the snake people. These ancient myths are still affecting the lizard people of Gudasok. The snake people imitated the creation stone from the black comet. The mysterious words obtained from the stars, and thus established a prosperous dynasty."
"This is the Abyssal Scroll of the Xinthas era, the source of forbidden knowledge."
"Later, the elves imitated it again and used it to record the knowledge of ancient alchemy——"
He paused, looked at Fang Plover and asked, "Do you know ancient alchemy?"
Fang Plover nodded.
"You know a lot," the old man gave him a meaningful look: "In fact, the alchemy of the elves also came from the Abyssal Scroll, and the ancient alchemy and today's alchemy are actually the same. It’s a world of difference…”
Fang Yu was slightly startled, and couldn't help but remember the ancient alchemy he learned from An Luoser, thinking that maybe this part of the knowledge came from it.
The cloud dragon also told him this. Many knowledge in ancient alchemy is taboo today, but the latter told him that there is no distinction between good and evil in knowledge. He also believed it and told Eve the same truth.
Therefore, he did not express his opinion and just listened quietly.
The old man continued: "But in addition to ancient skills, the elves also recorded the whereabouts of the Elf Holy Grail."
"And that's part of what we're talking about, this happened at the end of the dynasty and there are relatively few tablets left."
Fang Yu couldn't help but ask: "In other words, the Numelin elves left a treasure map for future generations in the long scroll of the abyss?"
"It is not accurate to use the treasure map." Alfan raised his snow-white eyebrows slightly and shook his head: "The real treasure map is on the seven obelisks. Since you know the Holy Grail of the Elf, you should have heard of that Song, right?”
'Under the seven obelisks are buried the secrets of Numerin, the Holy Grail of the Elf, the place where the twelve stars shine, eternal life, and endless wisdom. '
Fang Yu nodded, he was already very familiar with this song.
He had even seen one of the obelisks, albeit only briefly.
Alfan continued: "And those stone tablets actually record the location of the obelisk."
After hearing this sentence, Fang Yu felt as if a bright electric light flashed across his mind, and he vaguely felt that he had captured a crucial clue:
Karatu had already told him that the Holy Grail of the Elf contained the power of the etheric origin of light - the Glory of the Blue. And precisely because of this, the 'wanderer' has been searching for the whereabouts of the elven holy objects.
According to Lich Donde's description, the knowledge of his great-grandfather 'Wanderer' Maryland should have come from Andro and Lifgard. In other words, these two dark gods should be very aware of this.
The blind god Deska is also a dark god.
Therefore, if the Abyssal Scroll is really related to the Elf Holy Grail and the seven obelisks, the motives of the blind follower and the sand thief Mahazar seem to make sense.
With this thought running through his mind, he asked: "The sand thief Mahazar attacked the Garden of Fantasy, and these Abyssal Scrolls that were taken away from there are the property of the Penelope royal family? Are they about the seven obelisks? His whereabouts?"
Alfan shook his head: "You have to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess about this, young man. I heard that you have some documents in your hand. If you don't mind, maybe you can bring them to me to look at for you."
Fang Yu was overjoyed. He actually had this plan for a long time, but he just didn't know how to say it.
But after thinking about it, he asked in surprise: "By the way, didn't the old gentleman bring out those documents?"
The old man couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed: "I was in a hurry to escape and didn't read it carefully. Later, when I handed the documents to Her Royal Highness, I just thought that the documents themselves were clues. But today I accidentally remembered that the contents may be It will also be of some help to you.”
Fang Yu thought about it, and it was indeed the case.
In fact, he had never thought about it in this direction.
"Speaking of which, there is another anecdote about this matter," Alfan suddenly added: "Do you still remember the story I told you about the 'slate' last time?"
"You mean the Star of Dawn, Mr. Alfan?" Fang Pliance not only remembered it, but also remembered it very clearly.
"That's probably the name," Alfan replied, "but that's not important. In fact, the part of the stone slab they excavated is related to the obelisk."
Fang Yu couldn't help being shocked when he heard this: "Really?"
The old man nodded: "Otherwise, why would there be so many rumors about the obelisk today? All of this should be related to the excavation ten years ago."
"What do you mean?" Fang Plover swallowed: "The information about the obelisk on the stone slabs excavated by Dawn Star was finally lost... and not in the hands of its original owner?"
The old man nodded again: "That's pretty much what it means. I haven't heard of that name much since then, but judging from the final result, it should be so."
Fang Yu was extremely shocked. If Miss Scarpet and Captain Quirod had really experienced all this, it would be hard to imagine what happened between them.
In his impression, the other party had nothing to do with the rumors about the obelisk. Even the legend about the Elf Holy Grail was something he heard from Tian Lan after leaving Dawn Star. Is it true that the two Dawnstars have nothing to do with each other, and is it just a coincidence, or is there some connection between them that makes Miss Scarpet and the others unwilling to mention what happened in the past at all?
He was extremely suspicious, but it was a pity that he wouldn't be able to contact him for a while, otherwise he would really like to ask the other party for clarification.
However, this small episode was not of much help to the task entrusted to them by the eldest princess. Because this still cannot reveal the connection between all this and the attack ten years ago.
Even if it is confirmed that the contents recorded in those Abyssal Scrolls are clues about the obelisk left by the Numerin elves, it will actually only further confirm the motives of the slave merchant and the sand bandit Mahazar.
But the motive is not important. Their primary goal is to find the whereabouts of the slave traders and wandering alchemists.
But this clue is of great help to them.
…
Fang Yu was thinking about this question in his mind under the scorching sun at this moment.
He thought for a while, then looked back at Sylvide beside him - the noble daughter was also looking at him, as if she could see through his thoughts, and asked with a smile: "What do you want to ask, Captain?"
"Sylweder, what about the obelisk?"
The noble daughter nodded lightly: "I know. I guess Mr. Alfan is right. My father should have seen those stone slabs."
"What?"
Although he more or less expected this answer, Fang Yu couldn't help being surprised when he heard this: "Sir Ma Wei has also seen those slates?"
"My father left Corin-Ithurian seven years ago, but does the captain still remember that I once said that my father left me a notebook before leaving?" Sylvide replied: " It was from that notebook that I learned about the vague relationship between the obelisk, the elven holy objects, and the entrance to the third world."
"Father has very clear records of the locations of the obelisks. I know the whereabouts of at least three of them," Sylvide raised her head and looked at him, her eyes as clear as a bay of blue water. : "Outside Gula Port, including the one under the Abyss and the one under Fenris."
"There is another one in the Hill of Giant Trees. Because I was busy investigating the disappearance of the members of my adventure group, I have been delayed in Corrin-Ithurion, so I haven't been there yet."
She paused for a moment before continuing: "As for the remaining four, I don't know their specific locations. My father only speculated on their approximate locations. However, he mentioned in his notes that regarding the information related to the stone slabs, he said I found clues about the obelisk and the Elven Holy Grail from some ancient books."
"As for the so-called ancient classics, the oldest one is none other than Yuanhai Changjuan..."
Fang Plover nodded silently, and then he understood in his heart that the information about the obelisk that is now circulating in Aitalia actually has such an origin.
He didn't know if this was a coincidence, but the murderer who murdered Miss Etila's brother must have been related to the information on these tablets. In this way, it seemed that a clear clue had been placed in front of them.
Originally, they could only deduce from trivial information the possible existence of the mastermind behind the scenes - for example, the relationship between the whole incident and the Dragon Worship Cult, the relationship with the Dragon Witch incident, and the relationship between the 'Wanderer' relation.
But since they discovered that the 'Wanderer' was not the only one with motives for doing this, the whole incident seemed to have become more complicated.
But now, it seems that another method appears in front of them.
Judging from Sir Ma Wei's experience, the slates that were lost ten years ago seem to have passed through the hands of many people, but those in the middle are just handlers, those who really understand the value of these slates, and who really have Sylvie Father De's mobility?
There are obviously not many people in the last category, but they are the most suspicious category.
And judging from Sylvide's description, her father should have only obtained part of the slate, so who is holding the remaining slate now? This is an important clue. Fang Yu seemed to find that he had found a brand new way to delineate the target through the whereabouts of those scattered stone slabs ten years ago.
Of course, this is also not easy to handle.
But according to his idea, if this matter is really related to the Dawn Star, it would be very interesting.
It's a pity that he can't contact Miss Scarpet for the time being, which is a bit too coincidental.
Sylvide looked at him from the side and suddenly asked: "Then what is the captain going to do?"
Fang Yu shook his head. Since he couldn't contact Miss Scarpe, of course, for the time being, he would still focus on the mission of Her Royal Highness. He thought for a moment and replied: "Although the clue provided by Mr. Alfan is not very helpful for this task, at least we can figure out the true purpose of those sand pirates and slave traders. The rest is to figure out those wandering alchemists." What role does the warlock play in this, and the relationship between the whole thing and the princess."
"Actually, the easiest way is to find out the whereabouts of those slave traders," Alyssa, who came with them at this time, said, "It would be great if one or two slave traders could be captured alive."
"That's true. In fact, I happen to have some clues."
Fang Yu looked at Miss Nightingale and suddenly remembered that she had not answered the question about her career plans before.
But just as he was about to speak, the communication crystals of the three people lit up at the same time.
