Fang Yu was stunned when he heard this, and asked subconsciously: "Who is that?"

"I remember telling you about the smuggler who brought you up."

"Yes, yes, he is dead?"

Su Changfeng nodded.

"How did he die?"

"He died in the solitary room, and he was alone at the time. We investigated all relevant personnel, including guards and doctors, a total of sixteen people, but none of them had the time and motive to commit the crime. The monitor has been working well, and only when he It failed five minutes before death, and by the time others arrived, he had lost signs of life, had no external injuries, and died of sudden ventricular tremor."

Fang Plover gradually opened his mouth until he was able to swallow an egg. He felt like he was listening to a chilling horror story, but he hadn't thought that the protagonist of this story was related to him.

"Remember the last time I said I had something to tell you? Just because the investigation hadn't been completed at the time, I didn't say anything for the time being. Before I brought you here, a large amount of funds from unknown sources were transferred into his personal account. We The investigation found that the funds came from anonymous overseas accounts, but due to the interference of a certain country’s government, the true source has not yet been found.”

"A government of a certain country?"

"As long as you understand."

"Ed," Su Changfeng said earnestly, "it may not be that simple for you to come to Aitaria. This matter may even concern your parents. You must be mentally prepared."

Fang Plover was as dumb as a puppet, sitting there with his mouth open, motionless.

"This matter is still a secret for now. We will inform your uncle and aunt, but you should not contact the outside world yet. I am worried that the news will be leaked, so I will keep the secret in my heart until the truth comes out."

Fang Yu listened silently, and after a while, he nodded silently. He could hardly remember what his parents looked like, and when he suddenly heard this word, he felt strange.

But after becoming unfamiliar, he felt a bit stinging. His uncle's family were very kind to him, but they could not make up for his parents' shortcomings. He was still young when his parents left. As he grew up, he gradually realized that they could never come back to him. There was no sudden sadness, but there was a faint loneliness that spread in his heart.

"One last thing. The expansion of Stargate Port has begun. Something will happen in the near future. You can pay attention to the relevant news."

Su Changfeng looked at Fang Plover, who looked dumbfounded and didn't know if he was listening.

But he also understood why he thought about it and didn't speak.

After Su Changfeng left for a long time, Fang Yu didn't even notice that the call had ended.

Until I saw an eye in the darkness, looking at me as if it could talk, blinking slightly, blinking.

The wind lantern had been extinguished, but the ship officer lady who had fallen asleep on the table woke up at some point. She turned her head sideways, pillowed it on her hands, and opened only one eye to look at him, her eyes filled with light.

"Are you awake?" Fang Yu felt a little depressed, but still asked softly.

Sylvide nodded, and then she opened her mouth and answered softly:

"I agree."

"What did you say?"

"I said I agree, Captain." Sylvide chuckled.

Fang Yu suddenly remembered the conversation between Su Changfeng and him. He looked at her in surprise. So the other party had woken up at that time?

Doesn't it mean that Sylvide listened to what he said later? His face couldn't help but get hot, but luckily he couldn't see clearly in the dark.

"Xi, Xi, Xi... why didn't you tell me when you woke up?"

"If I told you, wouldn't it mean that you wouldn't be able to hear the captain's most tender words of love?"

Sylvide looked at him quietly and said softly: "I don't want to be your ship officer anymore, Captain."

"I want to be your wife."

In the dark, silent.



Fang Yu didn't even know how he got here last night.

He listened to the light breathing in his ears, looked back, and saw the face of the noble daughter sleeping peacefully, like a princess in a fairy tale, sleeping soundly with roses and thorns.

And is he considered her prince?

Fang Yu looked at the girl next to his pillow.

Her long golden hair flowed down her milky white arms like tassels, her skin under her collar was as white as porcelain, and she was only wearing a thin nightgown underneath.

He felt a little confused after listening to Su Changfeng's words last night, and then Sylvide's sudden confession.

After that, it was like a dream. The two confided their feelings to each other and slept in each other's arms. Except for not crossing the last line, they had almost completely accepted each other.

In addition to death, perhaps nothing can separate the two.

Not even death, Fang Yu thought as he looked at the girl's quiet face.



There is no difference between day and night in Yuanhai, and drowsiness is the main color here.

The Seven Seas Traveler continued to sail south, trying to stay as far away from Orenze as possible. No one planned to return to Kukai until it was safe.

After a night's rest, everyone had regained their energy. However, when Fang Plover occasionally passed by the chart room, he still couldn't help but look inside.

Sylvide was sorting out the charts with Jita, but the two of them seemed to have a mental connection. The ship officer would also raise her head, meet his eyes, and then lower her head with a smile.

This sweet expectation seemed to dissipate the sorrow that had just arisen in Fang Yu's heart. After all, his parents' affairs had been going on for a long time, and he could hardly remember those things from his childhood.

Regarding his parents, he actually had the idea to ask his uncle and aunt, but suddenly he remembered what Su Changfeng had asked him to keep secret. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to put the matter aside and wait for the military's response. further investigation.

In addition, Tang Xin had to take it easy first.

On the deck of the Seven Seas Traveler, Baggins and Luo Yu were investigating the nearby biomes. There was no shortage of creatures under the abyss. They discovered this when they came down.

However, whether they pose a threat to the Seven Seas Traveler still needs to be further investigated. Since it is a matter of safety, there is no need to be careless.

Fang Yu occasionally joins in, but mainly for homework and graduation projects that have been postponed for a long time.

But the bottom of the Abyssal Sea is much quieter than the one above the Kukai. Although those strange and strange creatures look ferocious, they often don't come into contact with them and escape into the darkness from a distance.

After the initial novelty wears off, sailing becomes boring.

In addition to occasionally going out to see the scenery, Fang Plover spent a lot of time in the alchemy laboratory.

A strange construct he found on the sunken pirate ship stood before him.

All the shells of this thing were opened, revealing the precise mechanical components inside, including a large number of gears and escapements. It is impossible to drive such a heavy and inefficient structure on earth, but only the power of alchemy can make it possible. They move, ignoring factors such as weight and mechanical loss.

The foundation of magic technology, the alchemy circle, is still a blind spot for scholars from the earth because of the mystery of the ether theory behind it. People cannot figure out why the properties of ether change due to different people's cognition.

It is not that people have not considered establishing contact with the gods. The target they chose was Anjana, the god of knowledge, but they did not get much from the latter.

As for Fang Plover, there is no need to figure out these essential issues. He only needs to know how the ether works.

One of the shells he opened had a nameplate on it. He had never noticed this in the past, but today he discovered the meaning of the words on it for the first time:

dragon hunter

3Grd, E. R, Jed-Ham.

Tatd, 031 STU BK, 1, 7

Fang Plover has seen many such manufacturing nameplates, so he can see their meaning almost at a glance.

Dragon Hunter should be the name of this construct. The following is the abbreviation of the imperial text. The third batch comes from a place called E.R. Factory. The producer is Jed Ham - this is also a typical imperial name. .

The production date is July 1st, the 31st year of the reign of Stukaya IV.

The empire's chronological method is different from that of any other region in Aitaria. They use the year of the emperor who was reigning at the time to chronologically. Stukaya IV was already the last emperor of the empire.

In fact, the Arabic numerals on this nameplate show that its origin is not ancient, at least it will not be more than thirty years after the arrival of the Chosen One, or after the spread of Arabic numerals from Aitaria.

"Dragon hunter, what a loud tone."

Fang Yu searched for information in his memory, but he had never heard of a place called E.R. Workshop. Among the well-known workshops in the empire, there were almost none that started with these two letters.

But counting back thirty years, he was not sure. He woke up Miss Tata and asked about it, and learned that there was a workshop called the Flame Blade in the history of the empire.

Elame'tal Rad, which happens to be the abbreviation of E.R, but the age is not quite right. It was a famous workshop three hundred years ago, but it has long since disappeared in the long river of history.

The producer's name is Jed Ham, and the offline date is very close, less than ten years ago. This has rekindled Fang Plover's hope. Maybe he would have a chance to see this master craftsman again in the empire and ask about the origin of these constructs.

He has been studying these strange constructs recently and has made some gains, but he still has no clue about the crystal in the construct's hat.

Today he came to try another idea. Fang Plover put the γ-shaped magic furnace on his back, buckled his belt, put on the heavy gloves of the Pride of the Lonely King, and pointed at this precision machine with its internal structure exposed - he hesitated before giving the order - this attempt was somewhat Be bold, because if you fail, this precious sample may be scrapped together.

But there is no risk in exploring unknown areas. In order to quickly improve your strength, everything is worth it.

In response to his command, the construct moved.

Although it was just a subtle movement, Fang Yu's eyes still flashed with joy, which at least meant that his idea was right. With a swipe of his right hand, he opened a menu in the darkness. Suspended not far from himself.

The computing power usage shown above is half that of the Energizer, and the magic power output is also half. But with a new magic furnace and the bonus from his ring, this output was just drizzle, and Fang Plover further improved his computing power output.

This time the construct raised its right arm, the movement was a little slow, the mechanical knuckles grasped the handle of the knife, and pulled it out of the huge storage device one by one; the place where the blade connected with the scabbard flashed. After passing through a faint blue electric light, he raised the knife and held it in his hand.

By the time this step was achieved, the computing power usage had reached twice that of the Energizer. The Dragon Knight system was no longer able to bear the burden on its own, and Fang Plover had to devote some thought to control. But the idea was almost successful, and he couldn't help but smile.

Fang Plover's method is actually very simple. He removed the crystal from the dragon hunter's head and redesigned the link device inside, replacing it with the main core crystal and the resonance crystal.

Down from the hat are connections and transmission devices, various functional modules and heat dissipation systems. The principles are the same as ordinary structures.

Although there may be some unique designs in order to conform to its original control method, these will only affect the control efficiency of the replaced control method - in short, it will take up more computing power, but will not be impossible. use.

Fang Plover experimented with various movements, and fortunately, they were all achievable. The movements will be slightly clumsy and not as flexible as originally, but it is acceptable.

At this time, he took a look at the computing power output, which was exactly five times that of the capable angel.

This computing power requirement is about twice that of similar structures at this level, but Fang Pultruum speculates that such a high computing power requirement may also be due to his change of control method.

To put it simply, the operating system does not match and there are compatibility issues. Although it can run, the power consumption problem is very serious.

After the First World War in Istania, he bought a set of ordinary computing power plug-ins from the Tansnir Artisans Guild. Combined with the original few small masterpieces, the computing power would be over 500. If it can be run in with these mechanical controls, , he can control about four in his ultimate state.

As for now, it would be nice to be able to control two.

But now that Miss Tata has the Seven Seas Traveler, with her assistance, he is sure to make all ten dragon hunters move.

It's just that Fairy Heart's support has a limited range and cannot leave the ship too far. It is only useful when fighting around the Seven Seas Traveler.

Fang Yu continued to explore other functions of the Dragon Hunter. In fact, after he fully controlled the construct, its data was projected on the floating window he called up:

Dragon Hunter [Prototype, bipedal upright stepping structure]

Basic properties:

Armor value: 45

Durability: 400

Shield value: 0

Dodge value: 700

Block value: 1800

Attack method:

True Ancient Sword (cutting damage), attack: 277-345

Empire Type 11—R-type magic gun (piercing damage), attack: 159-173; butt swing (minor, bludgeoning damage), attack: 17-23

Throwing Spear (Piercing Damage), Attack: 171-202

Balance: 220

Overload bonus: 100%

Overload load: +42 core temperature/S

Core crystal magic: 2200M

Magic output: 650M

Working temperature: below 120

Cooling system: -22 core temperature/S

Strength Rating: A+

Agile Rating: B

Protection rating: B+

Auxiliary rating: F

Iai: The first strike of the sword from the storage device increases the attack by 200% and the hit by an additional 25. It takes one minute to recharge the lightning elements of the storage device, and the core temperature rises by 22%.

Magic resistance: 50% magic resistance.

Demon-breaking bullets: Empire Type 11-R-type magic gun has magic-breaking properties and ignores protective spells and abilities below level VIII.

Computing power occupied 480

Fang Yu couldn't help but be speechless when he looked at this list of data. It turned out that the long sword used by the dragon hunters was called the Zhengu Sword. The attack power of this standard magic sword actually reached a terrifying 277-345, which was almost twice that of Shuguang.

Dawn is the legendary dagger he made for Sister Alisa, and it is also his first legendary work. Although it is only a product of that era, it is still a legend after all.

Generally speaking, for flexible structures of this level, even if they are more attack-oriented, the attack power of the main weapon will generally not exceed 180. Of course, it is slightly higher than Dawn, but after all, the level is also thirteen levels higher, which is still acceptable. understand.

But not only does the dragon hunter's main weapon have an astonishingly high attack power, but the damage of the secondary weapon Empire Type 11-R-type Magic Gun actually reaches the level of a normal construct's main weapon at this level, and it also has the ability to destroy demons.

Not to mention it also has another type of attack method, spear throwing. Although there are only three spears in the arm armor, the attack is higher than the eleventh style of the Empire.

Generally speaking, if the design of a construct is biased towards the attack direction, it must be defective in another aspect.

Either the protection is weak or the action is clumsy.

But the dragon hunter obviously does not have these shortcomings. In terms of protection, the block is as high as nearly 2,000, the durability value of 400 is not low, and the magic resistance is incredible.

In terms of dexterity, the B-level rating is second only to the Clockwork Fairy among all Fang Plover's constructs. The dodge value of 700 is even more impressive among melee constructs of this level.

This was simply unbelievable. Fang Plover couldn't even figure out how it was designed - but originally, he couldn't recognize more than half of the internal functional modules of this sophisticated machine, so it was a matter of course. .

It's not like a crystal has design drawings to draw from and the master's notes to refer to.

The appearance of this thing can only show that he is still almost a primary school student in front of the real master.

However, he doesn't need to understand the principle yet, the combat craftsman only needs to be able to use it.

The stronger the combat effectiveness of these constructs, the better news it is for him now.

As for other aspects of the dragon hunters, they are not much different from the imperial design ideas. The core design they use is very suitable for extreme overload, bursting out terrifying combat power in a short period of time.

The dragon hunter can achieve a 100% increase in combat power when overloaded, but the rapid increase in core temperature allows him to fight in this state for only a few seconds.

This is completely opposite to the Kaolin people's idea of ​​low-amplitude and long-term overload.

However, since the design ideas of his magic furnace and core crystal are still inherited from Kaolin's style, it is obviously not able to support the wild overload of the dragon hunter. It would be good to reach 60%.

At the same time, you also have to bear the negative penalties caused by imperial overload. Although the overload capacity is reduced, the sustainable time cannot be increased.

Fang Yuwen was very speechless about this, but he could only accept that this was the trouble caused by the conflict of design ideas, and he did not have the ability to make major changes.

However, the routine of connecting with Iai after overloading seems to be very useful. After overloading, the combat effectiveness is increased by 60%. Although the combat effectiveness is not fully reflected in the attack, the damage of the ancient sword can reach at least 500 levels.

If Iai is doubled, it will be a thousand, and two swords can cut it down.

Fortunately, when Box Box was fighting this thing, the thing didn't use this move, otherwise Box Box might have been injured at that time.

In addition, the gunner's skills were not found in the dragon hunter's ability list, including the dazzling reloading skills they had seen that day, which confirmed Fang Plover's idea.

Its gunner-related abilities, including the ability to act on its own, should be related to that strange crystal.

But he had no clue about the crystal.

Fang Plover put the scattered shells of the construct back on one by one, and then walked around it with a little joy. Although there was no capable angel, he now had a better dragon hunter.

Although there are only ten units, they are enough.

If you compare the ability to like the new and dislike the old, I am afraid that few people can match the combat craftsmen.

Fang Yu completely forgot about the angel in a short time.

He clapped his hands. If he were to control it, the two dragon hunters would be more than enough to hit one box. If they were simply fighting constructs, three boxes might not be the opponent of four dragon hunters.

Of course, the battle with the craftsman is not calculated in this way. Few people will be foolish enough to fight the constructs. The fight goes straight to the craftsman himself.

However, Fang Yu estimated that it would be more than enough to pack two boxes by himself.

It would be even more exciting if Miss Tata could assist and control ten dragon hunters at the same time. With the box, Parker, and the catman, he would have the confidence to fight.

He probably also noticed that Red's true strength should be around level 30.

Turning around, Fang Yucai took off the Lone King's Pride and said to the fairy lady sitting on the corner of the desk: "Miss Tata, do you still remember the siren construct?"

Tata held her beloved little tea cup and raised her head to look at him.

"I'm going to put it on the boat."

This is another idea of ​​Fang Piao's about improving his own strength. The Siren Construct exists for his other tactic, the Elf Creation Technique.

However, the size of the Kraken structure is too large, and it is too troublesome to summon it every time. Moreover, his computing power is not enough. The strength of the summoned gray is too low, and it will not play any role as the enemy becomes stronger. The significance of basic assistance greater than actual.

But now that they had the Seven Sea Traveler and the Fairy Heart, he suddenly thought that he might be able to install the Siren construct on the Seven Sea Traveler and use Miss Tata's computing power to use the Fairy Creation Technique.

Of course, this will be a big project, and right now he just mentions it.

Outside the porthole, the ship was entering the deeper abyssal area.
