Looking at the person in front of him, Parker took three steps back and almost fell to the ground, with an expression on his face as if he had seen a ghost. Of course, Fang was not much better. He nodded to the girl in front of him with an extremely stiff smile and greeted dryly:
"Mei, Miss Mei, why are you here?"
Because this knight lady still had the mission of the knights, she actually left the gray forest half a day earlier than them. After completing the tree man's commission, she also determined that there should be no target she was looking for here, and planned to try her luck elsewhere. . They said they were going to the Lake of Tears of Obe area, but they didn't expect that as soon as they stepped out of the ice gorge, they met the knight lady standing in the ice and snow together with the oncoming biting wind and snow.
She rubbed her hands, breathed in her breath, and stamped her little feet, as if she had been waiting for them for a long time. The first time Fang saw this young lady, the reaction in his mind was that it was over. This young lady finally came to her senses and realized that they were the gangsters on the wanted order, and they were related to the Sanshak artwork. The main criminal's protector, accomplice and hypocritical liar in the theft case.
Now she is here waiting for them, obviously here to seek justice.
Of course, if he tried his best, the knight lady might not be able to keep them. But now the ice gorge has changed. The guilds in South Noganis seemed to have heard his voice. They built a temporary camp here and sold the necessary adventure items to enter the mining area to the adventurers who went here. ', in fact, it is a disguised behavior of collecting tickets.
At this time, this place was completely different from when they entered before. In just a few days, the desolate and deserted scene in the past was gone, replaced by a bustling market. Adventurers and adventure groups from all over the place gathered here to prepare for going underground. There were at least several hundred people gathered in the small canyon.
When they first came out of the underground, more than twenty fully loaded beasts of burden had already attracted the attention of many people. Fortunately, the people from the Holy White Stone still remembered them and arranged a special passage for them to leave. If this righteous lady knight calls out their identities here, no matter how confident Fang is, she still doesn't think she can beat hundreds of people.
"I've been waiting for you here for a long time. You arrived much later than I expected." Mei wore a red and white fur cloak. Because she was too short, even though the cloak was specially made, it still hung down to her waist. On the ground, the color of roses stood out among the ice and snow.
The snow-white, plush collar held up her round face. Miss Knight looked up at Fang, with her halberd and oaken shield slung behind her. A cute complaint. "I'm afraid of missing you, so I've been standing here without daring to leave."
Yes, in order to catch Parker, the damn villain, Miss Knight really did her duty. If Parker hadn't been a member of his team, Fang would have given up this shameless Papalar. But the problem now is that the Seven Seas Brigade is also wanted. The Papalar villains were lucky. Escaped.
He held his control gloves and planned to have a showdown with the opponent. It's a pity. He actually quite agrees with this serious and responsible lady knight, who is so serious that she is even a bit into the drama, but we are all walking on different paths, and there is nothing we can do about it. This is like the tragedy described in countless dramas. Everyone has an upright purpose, but just because of different ideas, they have to stand on the opposite side and fight with each other.
Fang's heart was filled with unspeakable feelings: "Miss Mei"
"Ed, Miss Sylvide, the Knights sent a message not long ago that the target I am pursuing may go to Kelanao," May said in a childish voice: "The leader asked me to go there to see Look, it suddenly occurred to me that you are going to that place too, so I am here waiting for you to go together."
An embarrassing silence filled the air, except for the low howl of the wind carrying snowflakes.
Fang opened his mouth. He looked back at the Papalar man and then at the knight lady in front of him. Several thoughts went through his mind:
She is having fun with us.
She was trying to get us to let our guard down so she could catch us all.
Who is the stupider one, me or her?
But no matter which idea he had, it was not in line with the temperament of the knight lady in front of him. Fang coughed dryly and asked, "That's it?"
May nodded seriously: "Ed, do you mind if I go with you?"
"This...should be no problem."
"Great," Mei looked a little happy, "I knew you wouldn't mind."
Tang Xin was a little surprised: "Miss Mei, did you stand here waiting for us for a long time just for this?" That was from midnight to early morning, standing here for several hours in the howling ice wind, Just to meet them and go together?
But Mei nodded matter-of-factly: "There are not many people who I can regard as friends. Only truly upright people are the ones I am willing to be with. And to wait for friends, of course I can wait for as long as I want. Is there any problem with that?" "
Fang felt ashamed when he heard this, and wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl in. He has many ideas, are you going to deceive such an upright and kind lady knight? When did you become such a person? He was so ashamed that he grabbed the Papalar who was about to run away, pushed the latter up, and asked: "But Miss May, do you know him?"
Mei slowly blinked her misty eyes in the wind and snow, looked at Parker for a while, and blushed: "Sorry, although I am also a Papalar, I actually don't really recognize Papa. He looks like a Lal man. Have I, have I seen this gentleman somewhere?”
The air was very quiet for a time.
Even Tang Xin couldn't help but feel a little speechless.
She thought to herself that this makes so much sense. We are even blind when we look at foreigners who look similar, let alone those of different races. Although you appear to be a Papalar, in reality, you are still the chosen one. You will not appreciate the lioness aesthetically just because you have become a big cat person.
But the question is what is going on? The Knights asked a face-blind knight lady to find the target and arrest her. Is the head of the Knights mentally okay?
But Tang Xin didn't know that there was nothing that Mei Yi's knights could do about it. Miss Knight was in the ancient tower, closest to Corinthulian. Even if they wanted to recruit other people, other people People are still on the road.
No matter how unreliable it is, it is at least better than doing nothing. What can the Knights do? They can't conjure people out of thin air, can they?
…
The wonderful encounter with Miss Knight was just the last episode before the Seven Seas Brigade left Piriye Mountain. Of course, in the end, a cunning villain was still able to escape justice.
On the one hand, it was because Mei himself could not recognize the target that was so close. On the other hand, Fang also suddenly thought of the good deeds he had done to the work of art dagger. After his mind became heated, he quickly calmed down and decided to temporarily It's better not to deal with this matter.
One day in the future, he will definitely bring the Papalar people to the door to apologize and find a way to solve the problem of compensation for this artwork, but this time is obviously not now because they cannot afford compensation now. Even though the Seven Seas Troupe now has millions in assets, in the field of art, this amount of money is really not enough.
They quickly rendezvoused with the Seven Seas Traveler, during which Fang also described in detail the adventures he, Parker, and Siesta had made underground, and the magic circle. After learning that they were tracking the movements of the Dark Believers and trying to stop the Dark Saints' conspiracy, Mei couldn't help but be amazed. From then on, she even looked at them differently.
Several times, she said to the other party with great respect: "Mr. Ed, if it weren't for the mission of the Knights, I would really like to fight with you against the power of darkness to do my part." Miss Knight said this seriously. It was so abnormal that Fang felt very guilty for a while.
However, the underground exploration has come to an end, and those dark believers have long since disappeared without a trace, leaving only a clueless magic circle and a mess on the ground. In comparison, the mural they saw in the underground ruins brought more information.
After all, one of the main goals of the Seven Seas Brigade is to find the father of the ship officer. And if you want to find Sir Mawei, you can't avoid the elven sacred object, the place where the seven obelisks shine together with the stars. At present, the whereabouts of five of the seven obelisks are still unclear, and the only clue to the elven sacred object is the Sea Forest Crown. However, at least one place where stars shine together has been confirmed, which is undoubtedly a heaven for them. Big good news.
Especially for the noble lady, Fang obviously felt that Sylvester was in a much better mood these days.
After returning to the ship, everyone was a little curious about the new knight lady, but the most excited one was Ai Xiaoxiao. When she saw Mei, her eyes were full of stars and she shouted: "Ah, So cute!" Then he cautiously leaned over as if he was seeing the stuffed doll he longed for, and when he discovered that Mei was actually easy to talk to, there was nothing more.
It is said that Mei Yi avoided seeing her for several days after that.
Of course, there is a high probability that a certain little girl will not have this opportunity herself, because she is being severely punished by Tang Xin for her messy homework.
"So what should we do with this thing?"
When Fang said these words, he was in his captain's room, and not far away from him, next to the maid lady standing there, that small ball of light was flying left and right, It seems that he is very curious about the new environment on the ship.
It especially likes the central magic power room. If the maid is in trouble, you can always see this little ball of light in that place. Fang didn't understand why at first, but later he discovered that this little ball of light was secretly drawing magic power from the magic engine.
Although he didn't learn much, it was okay. Isn't this kind of petty theft no different from Parker? There is already a Papalar night thief on the Seven Seas Traveler, and there is absolutely no room for a second one, especially since magic power is much more important than food.
Of course, Parker raised serious objections to this topic in the confinement room.
"Actually, it didn't absorb much magic power," Sylvide looked at the small ball of light and smiled. Nini was hiding under the golden hair of the ship officer, looking at the flying ball with a little fear. She is used to recognizing things that have gone away. The horned lizard in the cabin had worried her for a long time, and now there was another uninvited guest, which made her frown.
"That may be its food, but so far we haven't figured out the origin of this little thing." Miss Ship Officer continued.
"It doesn't look like a light spirit." Tata looked at this scene calmly, holding the small tea cup in his hand and shaking his head. "The light spirit has no special affinity for the ether. Their food is light, not other things." What. Light spirits like to live in the divine realm, they are a special kind of elemental creatures."
"But it's not a spiritual halo. Whether it's a martial halo or a magical halo, it's very different from it." Fang shook his head.
"But now we understand why it has been following us." Sylvide said a little funny, "It should be coveting the heart of the world tree in you, which contains endless magic power. Because of this, it Follow us all the way out of the underground.”
When it comes to this matter, Fang is also a little speechless. He originally thought that this thing would leave on its own after losing curiosity about them. But they didn't expect that Crystal didn't cause trouble for them in the end. Instead, this little thing persisted in them and couldn't drive them away. Like a little tail, it followed them all the way from the ground to the surface.
Then on board the Seven Seas Traveler.
But now, he finally understood why. It turns out that this little light group feeds on ether, and ether is magic power. The heart of the world tree in them contains endless magic power. Can you imagine the temptation for this little thing?
This is like a mountain of delicious food in front of a foodie. No wonder it can't walk after seeing it.
However, the Heart of the World Tree has been handed over to Miss Attila. In fact, Miss Elf sensed the existence of this thing from him at the first sight of him. After all, she is the guardian of the sacred tree, a unicorn girl, and is very familiar with the scent of the Heart of Telaka.
Fang gave the Heart of the World Tree to her for safekeeping, and Etila took it over with great care. She planted the Heart of the World Tree in the greenhouse of the Seven Seas Traveler, although the withered heart of the tree was still there. It will definitely sprout again, but the majestic natural power it exudes all the time is obviously of great benefit to the potion room on the Seven Seas Traveler.
This is a good place to go until you figure out what to do with this precious material.
Sylvide suddenly said: "But since it has settled on the Seven Seas Traveler and seems to have no plans to leave for the time being, should we give it a name?"
"don't want!"
Tian Lan suddenly stood up and shouted.
She couldn't help but look at Miss Ship Officer with a little horror, thinking that Sister Sylvide is such a smart person, why hasn't she learned to learn her lesson? Do you still remember the lesson of that horned lizard? It was named Little Horn, which is still fresh in her memory.
But unfortunately, she objected a little too late. Because Fang had already decided, he thought for a moment and then said: "Let's just call it Xiaoguang."
Xiaoguang, this name is really creative, Tianlan couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Sylvester lowered her head and couldn't help but smile.
There was a sigh in the captain's room. Even Mei, who was sitting as a guest, couldn't help but feel that Captain Ed was admirable in every aspect, but he really didn't seem to have the talent for naming.
However, Fang didn't know it himself, and thought everyone was jealous of his outstanding talent in this area, but there were some things that he didn't need to point out. After all, as a captain, he still had to be humble. But he suddenly noticed Luo Yu standing blankly aside, seemingly absent-minded from before, so he couldn't help but ask:
"Luo Yu, don't you think this name is very good?"
Luo Yu was startled for a moment, then came back to his senses, raised his head and glanced at everyone, looking a little confused.
Fang was stunned for a moment, and then he felt something strange from the other party's expression. Although the other party rarely spoke on weekdays and seemed to cherish words like gold, it was not that he didn't have his own ideas, but he wouldn't know them until the critical moment. Just speak.
Especially when everyone on the ship gets together to discuss, the other party rarely loses focus and sometimes takes notes. He couldn't help but ask:
"Luo Yu, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"
But Luo Yu still seemed a little distracted. He was stunned for a moment before shaking his head and saying: "It's nothing, it's just that he seemed to have slept too late during the vigil last night."
"But it wasn't you who kept vigil yesterday." Fang was even more surprised.
The former couldn't help but close his mouth, shook his head, and then replied: "Sorry, I'm a little out of shape today."
He looked at everyone, hesitated for a moment and then said: "Ed, I'm going to take a rest..."
Fang nodded and watched the other party open the door and walk out alone. The captain's room was a little quiet for a while, and everyone else couldn't help but glance at each other. Everyone was not a fool, so it was obvious that something was wrong.
As soon as Luo Yu went out, Tian Lan hurriedly followed her, but she didn't think of anything until she went out, and looked back at everyone with a guilty look.
"Go," Fang said, "Tian Lan, go see what happened to Luo Yu."
Tian Lan nodded quickly, closed the door and chased out.
Fang couldn't help but turn around and glanced at each other with the ship officer on the side.
