Fang Plover's solution was to find Seschel first.
The residence of this old patriarch of the Oath Keepers clan is located in a simple manor.
In fact, not only the manor here, but also the entire neighborhood outside, is home to a large number of Oath Keepers. The same goes for most of the servants, guards and even gatekeepers inside the manor. Most of them are the second or third generation who grew up in the past twenty years, and the rest moved here more than thirty years ago. The older generation of Istania.
Probably because of Secher, these Oath Keepers have a pretty good attitude towards him, but the older generation is more kind, while the new generation is a bit more indifferent. But overall, it's pretty friendly.
"You want to see Count Nurman?"
The old man asked this as his first sentence after listening to Fang Plover's description of his purpose.
Fang Plover nodded.
Sylvide's previous words helped him clarify his clues - instead of making random guesses, he might as well take the initiative and ask Ye Hua what the Southern Alliance planned to do. Although the communication has not been restored, since Ye Hua is in alliance with Count Nurman, maybe the Governor of Bein will have a way to contact the former.
Not long after the celebration, Count Nurman seemed to be staying in the royal capital for a while. But he didn't know where Governor Bein lived, so he had to turn to his only three acquaintances in Questac - the old patriarch of the Oath Keepers clan - as for the other two, one was Al Husband, one is Her Royal Highness the Princess.
The former cannot easily leave the Kashan Palace after the celebration, as he is the future crown prince after all; and the latter will not help him meet the governor.
Secher pondered for a moment and then understood what he meant. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll find someone to take you there."
''
But Fang Yu had no intention of leaving directly, and asked instead: "Speaking of which, Mr. Patriarch, what do you think of this matter?"
Faced with this question, the old man thought for a moment, and then replied: "Because of their special status, the Oath Keepers family did not participate. However, we have a feud with people like Seineman. Your Majesty means to restrict me. This person. I think since he clearly realizes this, he may still have a clear understanding in his heart——"
"But they are cultists after all..."
"I got you."
Secher leaned forward slightly, stretched out his hands, and pressed his shoulders gently: "Ed, you are the person chosen by Mazak. We are allies in the fight against the dark believers. But His Majesty does not Likewise, he has his own ideas, and the Oathkeepers are also subjects of Istania, do you understand?"
Fang Plover was startled for a moment, then nodded gently.
It seems that the old patriarch's influence on Babartan is limited.
Or maybe the Sand King was quite determined, even to the point of insisting on his own way. Think about it, the other party even put his beloved eldest daughter under house arrest.
But what exactly caused this king to behave like this? Fang Yu thought that the reason for everything might still have to be found from the attack ten years ago. However, this is not the focus of his current concern. He still has to find someone from the Southern Alliance first. The other party is the person most likely to reveal the information behind him.
Secher found a young man, lent them a carriage, and sent them to Numan.
…
According to Secher, Count Numanr settled in a noble area northwest of Questak. It was actually a secluded villa, and in the courtyard of the villa, Fang Plover once again met the earl's daughter - Lavalie Ige Aimoyben.
The other party held a pair of scissors in his hand and was pruning branches behind a desert rose bush. When he raised his head and saw him, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his aqua eyes. "Why is it you again?" Lavalli looked at him coldly and asked coldly: "What are you doing here? How do you know my father is here?"
In response to the other party's cold tone, Fang Yu could only smile bitterly - and explained his purpose.
"Meet my father?"
LaVallee looked at him a little suspiciously.
She fiddled with her golden curls slightly and pondered for a moment, but finally nodded.
It was not because he was particularly merciful, but because Count Nuerman specifically mentioned to her that among the guests he wanted to meet, there was this young man in front of him. Although she didn't understand what her father liked about him, as she thought about it, she couldn't help but think of what happened at the celebration that night.
Even His Majesty has a special regard for this guy. How can he be the first to be blessed? When she thought of this matter, she couldn't help but feel even more upset. She just frowned and said coldly:
"Come with me, remember not to look around."
Fang Plover hurriedly followed without saying a word.
Of course, he realized that the earl's daughter was quite unkind to him.
But it's understandable. It would be the same if it were him.
The two walked through the silent courtyard, the emerald green bushes, and the brightly colored desert rose walls. The young man from the Oath Keepers clan who sent him did not follow him, but just stayed outside the garden, guarding the carriage.
Fang Yu glanced outside and suddenly said: "Miss Lavalli, I want to ask you a favor..."
The earl's daughter suddenly turned around and looked at him with wide eyes: "What did you say?"
"I want to ask you a favor."
LaVallee almost laughed angrily and sneered: "Do you think it's possible?"
Fang Yu ignored her sarcasm. "I would like to ask your help to ask the Earl to search the coast of Antuo. Miss Afifah is still on the 'Daoud'. I guess he will agree."
Ravallee looked at him for a long moment.
Finally, it asked in a deep voice: "...So Miss Kita is also up there, right?"
Fang Yu nodded, feeling a little amused. Since he made this request, he was sure that the other party would agree.
The count's daughter gritted her teeth and looked at him.
After a while, she replied word for word: "I will consider it."
If looks could kill, Fang Yu felt that he had died more than ten times. But seeing that his goal was achieved, he didn't care so much anymore. With Governor Bein's intervention, it would be much easier to find the 'Daoud' - he believed that the earl would go all out.
…
Lavalli was taken care of here, and when he saw Nurman again, Fang Plover never mentioned the matter.
He met the earl 'again' in a small reception room - to be honest, it was the third time. The reception room had a huge window with wooden window lattice and dark green curtains. Outside was an acacia tree, which had grown for an unknown number of years. Its lush shade almost covered half of the garden.
The golden flower buds are in full bloom in this season, like pom-poms, rustling when the wind blows. This kind of tree species is rare in the desert, but the common trees in Nognis are probably transplanted from Kaolin-Ithurion.
The earl put down the tea cup in his hand, as if he was not very surprised by his second visit.
He said calmly: "Then what do you want Mr. Ed to do?"
Fang Pliance went straight to the point: "I want to find someone, Lord Earl, the former president of the Southern Alliance, Ye Hua. I think they should be in Istania at the moment, and Lord Earl should know them."
Nuerman was slightly startled when he heard this, and looked at him in surprise. But he did not directly deny it. He thought for a moment and replied: "Why do you think so?"
"I actually met him once in Bein."
Fang Yu lied. In fact, he only heard the sound, and of course it was almost the same in essence - but the other party might know his existence, otherwise they would not save him when they broke out.
When it came to the matter of Bein, Lavalli who was not far away snorted lightly.
The count turned back to look at his daughter, who fell silent.
After hearing Fang Plover's answer, Numan nodded slightly, remained silent for a moment and replied: "Do you know him?"
Fang Plover nodded.
"Can I ask why you are looking for him?" Numan asked calmly: "They are my guests."
Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was indeed the case.
He said: "Your Excellency, I have something to do to find them... I am an old acquaintance with the people from the Southern Alliance. I believe that the Earl should know about my experience in the Southern Alliance - I, the Southern Alliance, Elfendor We have some contacts with the Parliament and the Rose Workshop. It’s just because of the communication interruption that I have to trouble you to help introduce me.”
Nuerman pondered for a moment.
But in the end, he nodded slightly.
"All right."
"If they agree."
Hearing these words, Fang Plover was completely relieved.
Because he had a hunch that the Ranger King would definitely agree to meet him.
…
In front of us is an endless sea of sand.
It’s not like Jita has never seen Shahai before. When the Seven Seas Brigade headed south from Idos, she and others had already become familiar with the continuous and undulating scene of sand dunes.
But they still underestimated this desert - Istania's area is about half the size of the North African desert, and the road south from Idos, passing through the Land of Dragons and Tansnir, is actually a Ancient trade routes. The so-called business road is the road opened by the predecessors. Although it is desolate, it is not a forbidden area of life.
Dotted with oases and dotted desert villages and towns along the way, they form an intermittent lifeline. Although with the decline of Idos, this ancient trade route has long lost its former glory, but at least it still maintains some 'respect'.
Elsewhere, Istani is really a land buried in sand.
Miss Scholar was sitting on the wreckage of the Daoud, staring blankly at the endless sea of sand. There were a few books beside her, and the hot wind in the desert made the pages of the books rattle - these books were The last supplies she had salvaged from the ship were of little use at this time of year.
Not far away are Luo Hao and the swordsman selector of Lu Fu's Shield, it seems to be called ZXC or something - and the little fat man. One of the remaining two people died when the crash happened. I don't know at this moment. Resurrection to somewhere. But this man now became their only hope.
Luo Hao and others seemed to hope that that person could bring people from the nearby temple to rescue them.
But the problem is that they don't know how far away the nearest Resurrection Temple is. If it is hundreds of kilometers away, then the hope of rescue is quite slim.
Several people looked a little unkempt, and they were tinkering around a wind element detector. Although Jita couldn't see her appearance, she believed that she was about the same - because the water resources on the ship were almost exhausted. Fortunately, it was close to the sea of clouds and there were fishing gear on the boat - otherwise they would have been without food for several days.
But even so, the food source is unstable, and almost everyone comes here hungry and full.
Jita looked in that direction quietly. She had always been well-behaved. Although she knew that there was a high probability that they would die in this place, she actually didn't have much ripples in her heart.
I heard from Xiangxi that they planned to repair the wind element detector - that thing could in turn be used as a communication amplifier. But when communication is interrupted, what's the use? It's just a last resort. There was a rustling sound behind her, and Afifah walked up from the cabin sleepily - the image of this mystic lady was relatively decent.
But he is also full of dust.
"Jita, are you awake?" She asked in surprise when she saw Miss Naturalist.
Kitta shook her head.
Afifah watched from a distance as the men below tinkered with their only hope of rescue.
She looked at it for a while and then suddenly asked: "Where is Jita from?"
Kitta turned to look at her. "Earth."
"I know that," Afifah asked again, "There are many countries on the earth, right?"
"China."
"China?"
Jita thought for a moment and said: "That is a country about the same size as Kaulin-Ithurion."
"That's really impressive. Corin-Ishulian is already very big."
Kitta thought that was indeed the case.
"Jita, can you tell me about your captain?"
Jita looked at her in surprise: "Have you known the leader before?"
Afifah was a little embarrassed: "I've seen him from your 'video' and your battle in Vanrik, Jita... I know you too."
"video?"
"I, I own a natural dragon soul. Lord Albany gave me one of your 'accounts', so I can..."
"Are you a Sky Knight?" Jita responded.
But the so-called 'account' is actually worthless at all.
Since the Selector's system comes from the Dragon Knight system, and the latter's artificial dragon soul itself is a derivative of the natural dragon soul, the Sky Knight's 'system' can also log into the Selector's 'Super Ethernet' - Ai It is also understandable that it is part of the virtual network built by Taliyah.
Afifah nodded.
Jita looked at this girl with a little surprise - the owner of the natural dragon soul. It can be said that she is a person favored by God. She did not expect that the ordinary-looking girl in front of her turned out to be the Knight of the Sky. She thought for a moment and was about to speak.
But at this time, a cry of surprise came from the distance.
Both of them looked in that direction, and Jita heard a strange rustling sound at this time, coming from her arms - to be precise, it came from a pendant hanging on her collar. She widened her eyes, looked at the pendant in surprise, and then picked it up almost tremblingly.
It was a dark, somewhat eerie crystal.
It was her communication crystal.
At that moment, only one thought flashed through her mind:
Communication has been restored——
…
The middle-aged alchemist hurriedly walked past a cluster of plain flowers. The white flowers were in full bloom, like a piece of snow in the courtyard. But Achilles was not distracted and walked quickly through the courtyard, through the corridors, and into the palace not far away.
There, the eldest princess was waiting for his reply. When Achilles returned, she didn't say much and just took the letter from the other party. But before she opened the letter, Achilles had already spoken: "He went to see Nurman."
The princess raised her head, looked at the other party, and nodded silently to show that she was aware. "It's not strange," she replied softly: "I heard about what happened at the celebration. My father showed kindness to him, and he would definitely be confused about it. It's just that I'm a little strange. Numan and the others are always That’s not how things work…”
"Maybe it has something to do with his identity," Achilles replied: "I got some information and Mr. Ed seems to be more than just an adventurer."
"What's wrong?"
"He seems to have some background in Corin-Ithurian. I heard that he has some connections with the Elfendor Council and the Saurus people."
The princess was slightly startled. After opening the letter, she stopped taking out the letter. She couldn't help but smile: "It seems that the person we are looking for is indeed more powerful than imagined. So Achilles, do you think he is still reliable?"
"Meeting Nurman doesn't mean anything," Achilles replied: "Mr. Ed should be fairly reliable."
"But we still have to be prepared."
The latter nodded slightly.
The princess then opened the letter and glanced at the contents.
But in an instant, her face turned white, her body swayed, and she could hardly stand still.
She slapped the letter on the table with almost a 'snap' sound, and said with a trembling voice: "This is absolutely impossible!" The next moment, Her Royal Highness's voice became angry: "Who sent this letter? , Achilles!?"
Achilles was slightly startled.
Then he looked at the princess in silence.
