Many people now know about Dawn Star, Fang Plover thought to himself secretly.
After the incident with the Elf Ruins, the name Dawn Star had spread like wildfire some time ago due to rumors about the Sea Witch and the Sea Forest Crown. Although more than a year has passed, many people still remember the Changxia War and its name.
Of course, there are more or less reasons for this. After Van Rick's mermaid war, Dragon Alchemist became a big hit in the community. People therefore went back to search for his origins, and then relived the old story about the Changxia War, once again giving the Dawn Star enough popularity.
After these two times, at least in the Chinese division, people remember this name. Of course, no one knows whether the Dawn Star of today is still the Dawn Star of the past.
However, Fang Yu felt that the name Dragon Alchemist was a hit for the second time and refused to admit the latter reason.
"According to the records, Dawn Star has a total of thirty-two formal members, as well as several temporary members of varying numbers. This size is considered a very small free adventure group. Of course, there are smaller legendary adventure groups, including five or seven people, but Dawn Star is not legendary, and before that incident, they were virtually unknown."
"The leader of this adventure group is a Chinese, his official identity is unknown, and his ID is Xing. It is speculated that this is the origin of the name of this adventure group. In addition, there are eight to twelve core members, namely owls, snails, Raptor, Age, Apothecary, Mullard and Farstrider, the names and IDs of the others are unknown, and two-thirds of the non-core members, as well as the Life Professionals, one of the Life Professionals named 'Traveler' Scholars are also important in this incident."
The middle-aged man said softly. This was not the first time that Fang Plover had heard about the rumors about the Dawn Star in the past. He had even checked it out in the community, but he didn't know it as clearly as the person in front of him.
Although he didn't know whether the other party intended to deceive him, he still listened very carefully, because in clever scams, there is often more truth than falsehood. Even if the other party does not tell the complete truth, there must be a lot of useful information in his words.
The two passed through the courtyard, where the shadows of Istania's clouds were changing on the trellises of wild grapevines.
The sun fell on the stone slabs, glaring brightly.
"The beginning of the incident was widely circulated in the community. An adventure group was lucky enough to discover an island that suddenly appeared in the sea of clouds. For various reasons, such islands are everywhere in the sea. Some appear today and disappear tomorrow. Some were left permanently and became part of the air and land territory of Etalia. But the one they discovered changed the structure of the world at that time due to an unexpected reason, and that was the Skeleton of God——"
"Because they - there is also some saying that there is someone else, but in short, people found the remains of the long-dead Lizard God on the island. At that time, it was rumored that the remains might be related to a secret of eternal life, which caused Austrian speculation. It tells the story of the crazy struggle with Corrin-Ithurion, which eventually led to a war-the Battle of Byrne."
"Nowadays, people can't tell exactly how the Battle of Bain took place. Some say that a group of adventurers attacked the Oshur Empire's envoys, while others say that the real reason was the empire's covetousness of the Bones of God. But these Now it seems that it is no longer important, the remains of the god have been lost, stolen by the lizard men, and secretly transported back to Fenris Island."
"As for the Kaulins and the Oshurs, after a great battle, nothing was gained."
"But that's not the focus of our story."
After the middle-aged man said this, he stopped for a moment in front of the last corridor. The sunlight fell on him through the palm leaves, forming long and narrow light patterns.
He turned back to look at Fang Plover. The outline of his face was shrouded in a layer of shadow due to the sunlight, making him look a little mysterious. "If you still remember, what I want to tell you here is about the origin of that notebook."
Fang Plover nodded.
But he thought in his mind - it's the secret of eternal life again, as it was in Fenris. Even the 'Wanderer' had said such a thing, and the Dragon Worshipers seemed to be convinced of this, which made it difficult for him not to think about it. Is there a related black hand behind this, pushing all of this?
Is it the 'Wanderer' himself?
Or one of the dark saints behind him.
The middle-aged man saw that he was thinking about something in silence, but he didn't find out what he was thinking. He just continued:
"The origin of the notes is another thing that Dawn Star discovered on the island. Most people know the story of the God's Skeleton, but few people know this one thing. That is the Abyssal Sea Slate, which they found on the island A large number of Abyssal stone carvings seem to have been left in the hands of Numelin or Xinthas snake-men, but this is impossible to test."
"Originally, these stone carvings have been excavated in ruins all over the country, so it is not surprising that they appear in such a place. But the coincidence is that there is a scholar with a very high academic level in this team, who studied in Silver Tower studied ancient literature in depth. Therefore, he recognized the content on the stone carvings and translated them——"
"The scholar's name is 'Traveler'. In fact, people don't know whether he has left this world, or whether he is an aboriginal or a chosen one. Is this a code name or an ID?"
"The translated content..."
Fang Yu couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"The translated text revealed the true secrets about the holy objects, as well as some information about the Second Continental Bridge and the Gate of the Third World. Out of selfish motives, the Dawn Star Adventure Group decided to destroy the stone slab and remove the words on it. The contents were printed one by one, and together with the translated text, they were made in duplicate and carefully preserved for sale at a price——"
"They made an oath to each other to guard secrets and strive for the greatest benefit for the adventure group. If this goes well, these people's dream of traveling to the second world may come true."
"They contacted the .M Alliance, which was in full swing at the time, but what no one expected was that .M had actually existed in name only at that time, and was divided into two camps, the Rose Crusaders and the Former Alliance. Both parties knew about this. After that, they naturally could not refuse the temptation from the new world, and they all decided to seize this opportunity and overpower the other party."
"It was at this time that a betrayer appeared within the Dawn Star Adventure Group. If the information is not wrong, this person betrayed most of the contents of the tablet to the former alliance - today's descendants of Flor. Of course, if that were all, perhaps our story today wouldn’t be so tortuous and bizarre.”
The courtyard disappeared.
What appeared in front of the two people was a long corridor.
But Fang Yu was so distracted by the sound that he didn't even have the intention to observe the changes around him.
"In order to prevent their competitors from getting the information, the descendants of Flor hatched a conspiracy. They lured the members of the Dawn Star Adventure Group into a place of death, and then launched a planned hunting operation, which led to It was a rare tragedy at that time, with two dead and three injured. Stargate Port was shaken by it."
"Two dead and three injured," Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, then asked in an incredible tone: "Could it be..."
"Real death."
The middle-aged man answered word by word: "It is said to be the first time in the history of Star Gate."
"But how is this possible?"
"I don't know the specific situation," the middle-aged man replied, "But it did happen at the time, and there were some rumors in the community."
"But how come I don't know?" Fang Yu frowned and asked suspiciously.
It's not that he is too suspicious, but that this matter is indeed too bizarre. The fact that the chosen one died on one side of the star gate and then died on the other side is too terrifying anyway. If it spreads widely, I don’t know how big a disturbance it will cause. I’m afraid that the voice of boycotting the Star Gate will set off a wave?
"Because of the fear of causing widespread panic, the Super Competitive Alliance deliberately suppressed the incident in July. If you are willing, you can still find out about it now."
"So that's true?"
The middle-aged man shook his head: "Whether it is true or false, none of us can say now. But after that incident, it was one of the origins of the sightseeing channel. The participants at that time, including two stowaways, totaled seven Most of them are still in prison and face at least twenty years of imprisonment."
"And these are well documented."
Fang Yu didn't believe it all, but he believed most of it.
He never expected that the origin of tourists would be like this. However, the middle-aged man in front of him seemed to be hesitating to speak, and he obviously didn't finish his sentence.
Looking at the other party's look, he secretly decided that if he had the chance, he would investigate this matter. Of course, not now, he has more important things to do right now. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but gather his thoughts and asked: "What happens after that?"
"There should be many people left in Dawn Star, right?"
The middle-aged man nodded, but then shook his head. "The people involved in the plan are bounty hunters and stowaways. Although they can find some connections with the former alliance, they cannot grasp the actual evidence. The Super Competitive Alliance intervened and prevented the third division from privately punishing the former alliance. In the end, the former alliance only made some personnel adjustments, and some senior officials left their positions..."
Another super competitive league.
Fang Yu's eyebrows jumped when he heard this, thinking why there was no positive news about this broken alliance, and he always came out to act as the villain. He simply doubted what the purpose of this organization was. Was it not to protect the interests of the electors? What kind of benefit is this to the electors?
After such an appalling thing happened, he only received some mild punishments. If he had only had some prejudice against the Super Competitive Alliance before, now the opponent's status in his heart can be said to have hit rock bottom.
"After a round of punishment, the Descendants of Flo simply put the matter on the table and sent a large number of killers to hunt down the Dawn Star. Since it did not happen in the Dead Zone, nothing like the July incident would happen again. It was a tragedy, so the Alliance turned a blind eye to this and just regarded it as the behavior of the Chosen One."
"However, this does not violate the "Stargate Declaration". Therefore, it is difficult for China in Stargate Port to intervene. They can only watch the Dawn Star fall apart and eventually disband. Among them, the Rose Crusaders on the other side did not play any glorious role. Characters, they bribed the 'snail' among the core members of Dawn Star, and after getting first-hand information, they left the rest of Dawn Star alone - "
"In fact, they even contributed to the flames and accelerated the demise of Dawn Star. After all, the two super alliances who obtained the information did not want the information about the stone slab to leak out again."
"But in this final stretch, Dawnstar struggled a bit."
The middle-aged man's voice stopped.
"This is why, today, you can hear the news about the four holy objects, about the secrets of the Elven Holy Grail and the Obelisk, and about them hiding the secret of the entrance to the third world, spread throughout Aitaria."
But Fang Yu heard something strange from it: "But in this case, the descendants of Flor and the Rainbow Alliance have obtained first-hand information about the stone slab. They should have discovered the entrance to the third world, or the elf Holy Grail and the four Holy objects are right. But now it seems that the two major alliances have no advantage compared to others...?"
A sarcastic smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face involuntarily.
Fang Yu had never seen such a clear and mean expression on a person's face, with such a hint of ridicule that he almost couldn't help but pity the two allies.
The middle-aged man then replied: "This is the most interesting part of this story."
"Because the scholar named 'Traveler' did not actually translate all the tablets at the beginning, but only two-thirds of them. At this time, the betrayer who did not know about this had already made Dawn Star betrayed him, but unfortunately he didn’t know that what he handed over was not the complete information on the slate——"
"But because of the pursuit by the former alliance, the translation work had to be interrupted. The 'Traveler' took the rubbings with him and traveled to various places. In the end, no one knew whether he translated the words on it. However, there are still The message in the letter is that the last time the 'Traveler' appeared was when he had a meeting with Xing."
"During that meeting, he handed a notebook to the latter. As for the content recorded in the notebook, no one knows whether it is the last part of the information on the tablet—"
He paused again and then said leisurely: "This is the beginning of this story, and you must have guessed what that notebook is."
Fang Yu was shocked when he heard this.
He didn't expect that the princess's notes had such origins, but didn't they say they were his brother's things? How could they be related to the Dawn Star?
Moreover, what happened to the notebook in his uncle's study?
Did the notes eventually get circulated?
However, he did not take the initiative to ask this question, because he had already vaguely guessed that there might be another story in it.
As expected, the middle-aged man continued:
"As the leader of Dawn Star, Star had actually realized at that time that he might be found by people from both sides sooner or later, so he did not keep this notebook in his hand."
"He gave this notebook to one of his best friends for safekeeping. That person was the princess's brother, Gayasi Aljuhan Raziz, the greatest explorer of Istania, but he was a young man at the time. Someone knew this secret, and it wasn’t until people reacted afterwards and investigated along the way of Xing’s personal experience that they discovered this secret.”
"The main contributors at that time were the two major alliances. After they obtained the information about the stone tablet, they immediately launched an investigation into the Third World. At that time, the entrance to the Third World was found in Kaolin-Ithurian, and Oshudu A trend was formed. The peak of this trend was about seven years ago when the former King Kaolin sent a large fleet headed by Sir Mawei to investigate the second world——"
"It's a pity that because the information on the stone tablets was incomplete, no one found anything. Now they are looking back to find the secrets about the sacred objects and the information hidden in the seven obelisks. It is for this reason."
"As for the other side..."
The middle-aged man thought for a while and then said.
"Gayasi Aljuhan Raziz knew that the note was of great importance, so he thought of a way to hand it over to his sister who had nothing to do with it - she was also keen on taking risks, but in this Princess Afifa, who is not well-known in the circle, was kept in custody. The original intention was to cover up others’ eyes, but I never expected that something like that would happen soon after—"
"The great explorer blamed himself for this for the rest of his life, and soon died of depression and an untimely death."
The middle-aged man calmly finished talking about everything behind the attack ten years ago.
But Fang Plover seemed not to hear it.
He almost lost his voice: "Wait, you said...?"
"What's that princess's name...?"
…
Princess Rupert was frowning at the strange dwarf in front of her.
She didn't remember that she had ever passed him before, especially since this weird Papalar man kept talking about confusing words like a damn alchemist, a king of night thieves, and a giant dragon. In fact, if the other party hadn't said that familiar name to her, she wouldn't have even allowed her guards to bring this suspicious dwarf in.
Looking at the Papalar man being escorted by her own guards, or to be precise, Ms. Papalar man, she was stunned for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask:
"Who are you?"
"Why are you here?"
"What is your relationship with Captain Ed?"
Parker - No, Ms. Papamo muttered and stopped complaining.
He first pushed the guard's hand away, then raised his hands to show that he was not a threat, and then took a step forward - but before he could make a move, he was pulled back by the guard and fell down like a gourd rolling on the ground. on the ground.
The Papalar screamed and said quickly: "Help, help, Your Royal Highness, don't you recognize me?"
"Why do I know you?" Princess Rupert asked suspiciously: "Have I seen you, lady?"
"I'm Pa..."
Parker suddenly came to his senses and quickly changed his words: "I, I am Papamo."
"Okay, I admit, Princess, that you didn't know me before."
…
