Early the next morning, Fang Yu received news from Su Changfeng.
In the projection of the communication crystal, the latter looked a little serious and said: "Ed, you'd better stay here for a few days."
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, a little surprised: "What's going on?"
"There is one of our guests who wants to see you. She will arrive at Crosswind Port soon."
"A guest wants to see us?"
"Yes," Su Changfeng nodded, "a rather distinguished guest."
Although he was a little scornful of the other party's mysterious attitude, Fang Yu still chose to accept it after thinking about it for a moment. After all, the other party had just done them a big favor, not to mention that although the time was tight, it was not less than three or five days.
Of course, the Seven Seas Brigade was not idle in the next few days. Others were busy converting the EXP obtained from the elder leaves into effective levels-skills, knowledge, spells, etc., while Fang Plover focused on On top of the transformation of the Lancer.
To be precise, it is also the transformation of Silver Bee——
With ideas and ready-made solutions, this work cannot be said to be difficult. However, it seems that some new knowledge and techniques are needed for the in-depth transformation of the magical constructs. Fang Yu carefully searched his memory, and finally came to the same inference with Miss Tata - I am afraid that he has to learn from "Magic". Find the answer in Guided Construct Theory.
Istania is the home of Magical Constructs, almost as good as the Empire's Iron Capital Grayz. He learned a lot about Magical Constructs there, such as the "Magic Constructs Theory" Volume 1 (Grade F) and Volume 2 (Grade E).
Thanks to Ms. Erna, he has a fairly solid grasp of everything. Of course, it also took a lot of experience.
However, when he went deeper into more professional fields, his superficial knowledge of magical constructs was obviously not enough. Fortunately, Hengfeng Port also has its own library and its own craftsmen's association. Fang Pliong said hello to Su Changfeng and he could borrow books from it for free.
He first checked "Magic and Protection", which focused on protection. It contained a discussion about the Shining Shield, but it did not meet his expectations.
Next is "About the Sequence and Magic of Energy Overflow". This is about how to make the magic structure bigger and stronger. It can strengthen the main crystal output, which is indeed helpful to the 'Lancer-Silver Bee' system. , but it cannot solve the main problem.
Fang Yu discovered that there were actually some treatises from the Ringos School, which was a school of magic that favored main construction. Lar Heyman, the inventor of Inhanz Type Six, was an outstanding figure in this school. One of the successors. This is rare high-level knowledge. Fang Yu was a little excited when he discovered it at first, but after taking a look at the learning requirements and experience consumption, he immediately felt relieved.
The astronomical difference is not enough to describe how humble he is at this level in front of this knowledge. He has been living smoothly during this period. He previously gave the descendant of Flor-actually a small guild of Nognis. He was still a little swollen after the lesson, but now he has finally calmed down.
Level 20 or above is just the beginning in Aitaria. He has not yet entered the true realm of the Grand Guild.
Finally, with the help of Miss Tata, he found what he wanted in a corner, "Main Body and Parts", a book dedicated to discussing the separate subsystems of magic constructs. The author is an inconspicuous person. Little guy, he hadn't even heard the other person's name.
However, the inconspicuousness here is relative to the real big names. In the history of alchemy, the great masters are as numerous as the galaxy, and the "little people" who have made small contributions are like the sand of the Ganges. Relatively speaking, they are Not even a speck of dust in this long river.
At least that's the case now——
However, this does not mean that the work of this little man is not important. This author is just not the most important person. In fact, this technology has flourished after him, and countless heroes have emerged, even covering up this book. of light.
Otherwise, if this were not the case, he would not be looking for this thing specifically. It is not a big deal for a master, but it is just right for a beginner.
After getting the books, Fang Pliance first went to the library management office to go through the borrowing and copying procedures. Theoretically speaking, as a selector, after getting the books, he can spend experience learning. This kind of intermediate knowledge generally does not take more than a day and a half.
However, as early as in Kapka, Fang Plover had already developed the habit of reading and understanding the knowledge and notes himself. If possible, he must try to keep a transcribed version with him for reading at any time.
In this regard, he and Miss Naturalist had something in common. Kitta always brought her box of books wherever she went. Tian Lan often laughs at her that this box of books is of no use at all. The knowledge of Aitaria is not universal on earth.
As long as you make good use of the system properly, this is also the common understanding of most people who have entered the Star Gate.
But habits are habits, and this can probably be regarded as a preference, not to mention that it does have some uses. At least Fang Plover has tasted the sweetness of a solid foundation - although the effort and benefit are not quite equal.
However, after asking, Fang Yu discovered an unexpected surprise. He found that the fee for transcribing knowledge here was extremely low, almost like giving it away for free. Copying the full text of the third volume of 'Magical Construction Theory' only costs 1,300 lisels, while "Main Body and Parts" only costs 670 lisels.
Isn't this equivalent to giving it away for free?
This discovery shocked Fang Yu. He had to know that the copies of intermediate-level and above-level books he had previously made at the Craftsmen Association often cost tens of thousands of Lisels. This was given to them by the local Craftsmen Association of Istania at the invitation of the eldest princess. In case of special offer.
It is common knowledge among alchemists that knowledge is priceless.
The price made him excited almost immediately, and he simply put down what he was doing and copied a few more books - he even spent tens of thousands of Lisels to make a copy of the complete set of works of the Linges School, which was high-level knowledge. There are things money can’t buy anywhere else.
Of course, when it comes to transcribing, you don't need to copy word for word. You only need to use the information crystal to enter text and picture information. It is a little slower than scanning, but it does not take much more time.
It's a pity that there are not many books related to alchemy in the Royal Library of Istania. Otherwise, Aleph would have made a fortune by giving the library to him for free. But even so, he still stayed in that place and copied a lot of anecdotes and several spell books.
He gave those spell books to Luo Yu, Jita and Xiang Xiang. When he copied those spell books, he almost blew himself up into a piece of coke because he triggered the talisman on them. Therefore, even copying books in Aitaria is a very risky job.
While transcribing, Fang Yu also vaguely thought of a possibility. Although Su Changfeng didn't mention it, this might also be an attitude of the military. Theoretically, they can't access such internal archives, but the Seven Seas Brigade is in trouble right now, and the military probably wants to show that they don't treat them as outsiders.
It's a pity that this speculation seems to remain an idea for a while.
I stayed in the library like this for two full days, almost forgetting all about the transformation plan of the 'Lancer-Silver Bee'. At noon on the third day, Tianlan sent a message from the communication crystal, telling His ship has already entered the port.
At first glance, Fang Plover was a bit unresponsive to the news: What ship has entered the port?
The one on the other side said with a look of resentment: "That guest, the guest's ship has arrived."
"Oh!" Fang Yu suddenly realized.
He slapped his forehead and thought that he was really confused when copying the book.
However, Fang Yu himself did not expect that when he returned the borrowed books and hurried to the port with Miss Tata, he discovered that the so-called 'distinguished guest' turned out to be an acquaintance.
"Long time no see, Ed, and the little girl from the Albert family," Princess Brianne stood on the pier. The wind blowing through the outer sea blew up the clouds and blew her beautiful blond hair through the long hair. The pointed ears were inlaid with hollow elven silver ornaments, a long bow was slung behind his back, and a light silver cloak was covered under his shawl. He smiled at them: "Since you went south, I have often heard from you. "
She looked at Fang Plover with her beautiful eyes, and the meaning in her eyes seemed to be to see why this human boy was so troublesome. She told him to protect the daughter of the Albert family, but that was not what she meant.
"The Berio!"
Tian Lan looked at the giant ship anchored in the harbor in the distance and couldn't help but scream in excitement.
They have some connection with this cargo ship sailing between the sea of clouds. The last time they took this ship, they set off from Dolifen, arrived in Fenris, and finally arrived in Grande.
She still remembered the old captain on the ship, who was a very amiable man and told them many stories about pirates. Now we meet again after a year. Although she hasn't seen the sailors on the ship yet, Tianlan already feels like seeing an old acquaintance.
However, in the past year, the Seven Seas Brigade has also gained many new members, such as Tang Xin, Ai Xiaoxiao, Luo Hao, and Pasha, all of whom met the Princess for the first time. Tang Xin had heard of this heroic princess of the Battle of Byrne, but Ai Xiaoxiao was so curious that she kept blinking her eyes and could hardly move away from the elf princess.
"Parker, you've gained weight again." Brianne also looked at the others, and finally made a joke about the Papalars.
"How is that possible?" Parker looked horrified and looked around, "It's just that I wear thicker clothes in winter. You know, Papalar people are afraid of the cold."
"But that's not what the lady next to you is like."
Brianne looked at Miss Knight beside her and narrowed her eyes.
Mei also looked at her a little curiously.
"Have I seen you somewhere, dear little girl?" Brianne asked.
Mei nodded: "The last time I was with my teacher, Your Highness the Princess."
"Oh," Brianne suddenly realized, "It turns out it's you. Say hello to your group leader for me."
Miss Knight nodded quietly.
Then the elf princess looked at the last person and stretched out her hand to him: "Are you Luo Hao?"
"Your Highness, do you know me?" The fat man was a little flattered. He was the hero of the Battle of Byrne, one of his idols. He shook hands with Her Royal Highness the Princess, which was a bit unreal, and he almost planned not to wash his hands for the next year.
"I heard your captain talking about you."
"Oh," Luo Hao suddenly realized, and a serious face immediately appeared in his mind. However, the captain, who seemed so unknown, actually knew Her Royal Highness the Princess, which was beyond his expectation.
After greeting everyone, Brianne turned back.
At this time, Sylvide took Fang Plover's hand, walked between her and Fang Plover and said with a smile: "Your Highness, long time no see."
Brianne looked at the two of them, with a sense of insight in her bright eyes: "Have you finished your work?"
"Exceeded expectations, Your Highness the Princess." Fang Yu replied. He knew what the Princess was concerned about, and he roughly told the story of his trip to the south. He briefly mentioned the dragon witch, Istania and his party, but mostly talked about the current situation in the south and the conflicts between the nobles.
Princess Brianne looked at him with some satisfaction and asked a few more questions about Dollifen. Fang Yu knew why Her Royal Highness the Princess was involved in the Battle of Dolifen, because the Elfendor Council was actually the political legacy left by Sir Mawei and His Royal Highness the Prince.
When she finally heard about the adventure of the group under Mount Piriede, Princess Brianne's eyes clearly showed a strange light - after Fang Plover finished speaking, she looked at Sylvester beside her, and after a moment of silence , couldn't help but sigh softly.
This sigh passed away with the wind, and Fang Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised. He seemed to hear many complicated meanings from this sigh. The elf princess looked in one direction of the port, staring at the tall mast tip there, and asked: "Is that the Seven Seas Traveler?"
Fang Plover nodded.
Brianne looked at the two people: "Theoretically, the elves of Alvin Quinn are allies of the Kingdom of Cowlin. I should not get involved in this political conflict. We and the dwarves have already reached an agreement to advance and retreat together. But, your family..."
"Forget it," Brianne shook her head, "The favor that the elves owe you must be repaid. My father represents Alvin Quinn, so I have to let you repay this favor."
Sylvester smiled slightly and said: "Her Royal Highness the Princess's help, the Albert family will never forget it."
"Never," Brianne glanced at her: "It's better for mortals not to say this word easily in front of elves."
"Okay," she continued: "You and this silly boy have built the Seven Seas Traveler, which can be regarded as fulfilling one of your grandfather's long-cherished wishes. Let me also speak frankly about the real reason for coming here to see you. Little girl from the Albert family, you should have guessed it, right?"
Fang Yu listened in confusion, looked at the princess, and then at Sylvide.
He only saw Sylvide nodded slightly.
"What do you mean, Your Highness Princess?" he couldn't help but ask.
"To put it simply," Brianne replied: "The person who helped her before now wants her to fulfill her promise and do something for him."
"The person who helped Sylvide...?"
"It's His Royal Highness the Prince." Princess Brianne replied.
"His Royal Highness?" Fang Yu was almost stunned before he realized which prince he was talking about. He was naturally the center of the current political struggle in the kingdom.
Sylvide looked at him and replied softly: "Do you still remember our trip to Fenris? Whether it was Princess Brianne, the help the elves gave us, or the information about the spire below the ground, and the reason why we I was able to leave El Paxin because the other party was helping me behind the scenes."
Fang Yu couldn't help being surprised when he heard this, and looked at Brianne in surprise. He didn't expect that the help the elf princess gave them had such a connection.
But the noble daughter asked in a nonchalant manner: "What does he want me to do for him?"
"He wants to meet you."
"Us?" Even Sylvide was stunned for a moment. She couldn't help but turn around and looked at Fang Plover in surprise.
Fang Yu was equally surprised. In his impression, he probably didn't know the prince.
In fact, to be honest, he didn't really want to have anything to do with His Highness the Prince - the center of the current vortex of the kingdom. However, since the other party had made a promise to Sylvide, he did help them. It seemed like he really couldn't find any excuse to refuse at the moment.
Although Sylvide did not tell them about this at first, she was not a member of the Seven Seas Brigade at that time. Now that the other party asked them to fulfill their promise, he could indeed refuse - even he believed that if he Once you make a decision, the noble lady beside you will definitely not object.
But this seems to be somewhat untenable morally, and I am afraid that Her Royal Highness the Elf Princess in front of me will fall out on the spot - this is the legendary hero of the Battle of Byrne, and behind her there is an even more terrifying Sir Roban.
Faced with Sylvide's consulting gaze, Fang Yu thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, but we have to go to Gula first."
It can be said that His Highness the Prince is currently relegated to the edge of the kingdom's power, and is under house arrest in Elpaxin by the Silver Wind Knights. Although that place is closer to Gula, it is easy to get in and difficult to get out. It would be best for them to finish other things first and then make thorough preparations.
Brianne didn't seem to object. In fact, she didn't seem too concerned about this matter. She just nodded lightly and replied:
"Then we will go north along the Sea of Clouds and supply supplies via the Port of Clouds. You can choose the time to set off."
The route she chose was exactly what Fang Plover expected. However, in this time window, there are actually only a few routes heading north.
It is the season when storms gather on the cloud sea. It is a bit embarrassing that two consecutive crossings of this sea area happened to hit such a time point. However, they have been in Hengfeng Port for a few days, and there is really no such thing now. Time to wait for the storm season to pass.
Fang Plover decided to take a gamble, sooner rather than later, so he simply set the sailing time for the next day. As long as the Berio was ready, they could sail again.
Since the Berio originally came from Grande and did not consume much supplies along the way, the preparation actually did not take long.
So in the evening of the next day, with Uncle Fang Pliong, Aunt Fang, Su Changfeng and his party seeing each other off, the two ships slowly left Hengfeng Port, one behind the other.
