"What's this?"
Fang Yu looked at the small things that the man turned around and took out from the drawer.
It looks like an equilateral triangle of metal, a palm long and wide, with an abstract dragon-shaped pattern in the center - of course, the image of a Western dragon with huge wings that is common in Aitaria. .
"This is what President Linsius left you," the man laughed and replied: "But I don't know what it is specifically. By the way, he also left a sentence for you, which is 'Kui Vince Salido'."
"Also, you can call me Xiuli, or Lao Xiuli, at least that's what they call me."
The middle-aged man who called himself Xiuli replied with a smile.
Fang Plover looked at this thing. At first glance, it looked like a simplified badge, and even gave people the impression that it was related to the Dragon Worship Cult. Because the dragon-shaped pattern itself is related to Rune Lincius, it is only natural to be related to the Dragon Worship Cult.
But taking a closer look, it seemed a bit paradoxical. This badge always seemed vaguely familiar to him. Fang Yu suddenly remembered that he had indeed seen this pattern in one place, on the broken holy sword in the underground of Spear Castle.
He suddenly turned around and said, "Mr. Reid, can you let me see your sword?"
The big cat man asked a little surprised: "Why do you suddenly think of looking at the sword?"
But having said that, he still stretched his claws behind him and pulled out the sword inch by inch. The legendary holy sword does not look too small in the hands of the lion paladin. Magic swords have the ability to automatically change size according to the user. The cold light on the blade flashes, making the dark room slightly brighter.
Even Xiu Li couldn't help but praise: "It's a good sword."
But it was more than just a good sword. This senior businessman who worked in the Chamber of Commerce and had seen countless rare treasures also missed it this time. Fang Yu only focused his gaze on the counterweight of the holy sword. As expected, there was a similar emblem there. Even the patterns of the two were almost identical.
It's just that the badge on Shuri's hand is silver-white, while the badge on the holy sword in the big cat man's hand is golden.
The birth of the five holy swords has a certain relationship with the Dragon King Bahamut, so these five badges may also correspond to the five-color dragons of Etalria-gold, silver, red, blue and green.
But the question is, what is the purpose of Rune-Lynthius leaving this badge to them?
As for the words the other party left for them:
'Quvenstharidu——'
But that's not a sentence, Fang Plover thought, no, or rather it's an ancient place name with an elven flavor. He happened to know that place, in the area of Gujun Castle on the Baozhang Coast today. That place was a prosperous kingdom hundreds of years ago, but later gradually fell into ruins.
But they don’t know what Rune Lincius meant when he told them such a place name. What was the connection between this badge and that place? But why not use Gujun Castle, but use the names of elves? Is there any difference between them?
"Mr. Ed," Xiuli said again, "I will pass this thing over to you."
Fang Yu nodded and then took it. The other party just looked at his movements without even needing further confirmation, as if he didn't worry about admitting the wrong person.
When Fang Plover held the badge in his hand, a strange thought suddenly arose in his mind: It seems that Aitaria does not have any technology for teleportation?
But if this thing was not taken from further away, then how did Rune Lincius guess that they would come to this place and leave this thing here?
Or is it that the thing itself is not important, but the information it conveys is important? The other party may have left several copies of the same badge in different places, so that they can get it no matter whether they go to Cloudport or Elpaxin.
Speaking of which, he remembered that the other party seemed to have said similar words just now:
'I didn't expect you to come to the ancient pagoda first. I was not prepared to receive you. '
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but become more sure of his thoughts.
The badge itself may not be important, what is important is the message it conveys, that is, the dragon-shaped pattern on the holy sword. To say the least, if he had never seen a similar pattern, he might not even be able to recognize this badge.
This may be the real reason why the other party gave the badge to his subordinates with confidence. Most people may not understand what they mean at all, let alone what the meaning behind the place name represents.
Fang Yu looked at the other party's indifferent attitude, and believed 70% to 80% of his inferences. While putting away his badge, he roughly determined that 'Quvens Saridou——' might be the one from the Black Goat Chamber of Commerce. What the president really wanted to tell them.
Maybe if you have the chance, you should go there and see why the other party pointed out such a place to them inexplicably, Fang Yu thought to himself.
He had questions and answers with the merchants from the Chamber of Commerce, but everyone around him was still confused. Only Sylvide might have guessed something from his interaction with the Lion Paladin - Fang Plover noticed that his ship Miss Guan's eyes also stopped at the position on the big cat man's sword.
And she should have heard of a place like 'Quiwensaridu'.
As for the others, Fang Plover gave them a calm look before turning around.
Xiu Li looked at them, smiled again and said, "That's all the things President Lin Xiu Si left behind, but when you come to this place, you should have other important things to do, right?"
"That's right," Fang Plover didn't shy away from it: "Our ship encountered a storm on the road and may need some simple repairs and some supplies."
"I understand," Xiu Li nodded: "I see, I asked you why you are here. But these are trivial matters. They are just their job for the Black Goat Chamber of Commerce. Don't worry, this matter will be used In a short time, for the sake of President Linsius, I will try my best to persuade the colleagues to give you a quotation based on cost."
"Ah?" Tianlan was a little surprised and said in a voiceless voice: "You want more money?"
Aitila grabbed her back.
Xiuli looked at the little girl with a smile: "Although you are friends of the president, business is business. The Black Goat Chamber of Commerce was also established by many businessmen. We have to protect the interests of every member."
Fang Yu nodded quickly and replied: "Actually, the price is not a problem, but the time..."
"Don't worry," Xiuli gave them a reassuring look: "Leave it to me."
Fang Plover breathed a sigh of relief. How much money would the Seven Seas Traveler's replenishment of supplies be worth? Compared with what he had spent on the construct these days, it was only a drop in the bucket. But the most important thing was the construction period. They had already wasted a lot. It's time.
Only then did he have time to look at the Guta people carefully, and saw that they had no grudge against them. Although this was the Black Goat Chamber of Commerce, it was still a bit surprising. He couldn't help but ask: "Speaking of which, is Mr. Xiuli from Guta?"
But Xiuli seemed to know what he was going to ask, and replied with a smile: "I can only be regarded as half a Guta person. My father is a Kaolin person, and my mother is a Guta person. And even if I am really a Guta person, for You don’t have any bad feelings.”
He grinned, showing his white teeth: "Actually, don't talk about me, it's the same for everyone else, as long as they know your identities. You are wanted by the Kaolin royal family. In our opinion, you are natural Allies."
Fang Yu couldn't help but be a little stunned after hearing this. It was too easy for this friend to come. In other words, if they had revealed their identities on the dock, the old sailor might have looked at them differently.
Of course, this is just a thought. He would rather spend a little more money and time than the trouble of exposing his identity.
…
When leaving the Chamber of Commerce, Tianlan was still chattering about this adventure.
"I really didn't expect that Rune Lincius would value Brother Ed so much, and specially arranged several capable assistants to wait for us on our only way," she said, "I think even if we didn't come here, You will also meet a 'John' or 'Peter' or something like that at El Paxin or Traveler's Rest. What on earth is that guy doing so aggressively?"
"Fuli."
Etila stared at her.
The education our elf lady received in the temple and her upbringing made it impossible for her to sit back and watch Tianlan refer to others as 'someone like that' and 'that guy'.
However, Tianlan only made a secret face and pretended not to see it. She had already learned bad lessons from Parker and the others, and she could be called a lady in the team earlier - although only on the surface.
"So the pattern on the badge should be exactly the same as the one on my sword?" The big cat man gestured with the long sword in his hand and asked Fang Plover: "What do you think it is, a piece of information related to the Oath Keepers? "
Fang Yu nodded. This was exactly his consideration. What was really important about the thing Luen Lincius left them was the information conveyed on it. So what is the connection between that emblem and the place name 'Quvenssarid'?
The only thing he could think of was the Oath Keeper behind it.
The Oath Keepers keep the Holy Sword. As long as the Oath Keepers clan is destroyed, the Holy Sword will never be scattered outside, just like Mazak holds the Fairy Sword Garapea. As for the holy sword in the hands of the big cat man, it is possible that the Oath Keepers clan behind it has long been wiped out in the long river of history. In fact, this theory has been circulating in the outside world since the disappearance of the Annihilus.
The first of the five swords, the Holy Sword of Moya, was stolen from the Treasure Stick Coast by the wanderer - or Tang De's grandfather. Although he still doesn't quite understand what happened at that time, Moya's sword has been used by Moya for many years. The guardian has not appeared in the world, and no one has ever found the sword, which seems to be enough to explain some problems.
The guardian of the Holy Sword of Moa, the Oathkeeper clan there may have encountered trouble, or maybe like the guardian of the Annihilator, the whole family has perished.
This is not impossible. After all, the Mazak brothers and sisters are a ready example. In the past, there was only one Oath Keeper in the desert and the guardian of Jalapea. Today, there is only one person left.
Fang Yu felt a faint sense of historical decay in his heart, but he also understood that in the seven centuries since the Giant War, the Black Wings had disappeared without a trace and had become a legend in bedside stories. Naturally, their former opponents had also Once you grow old.
Mortals are, after all, a transient race.
"Is there really an Oathkeeper clan on the Treasure Stick Coast?" The big cat man said to himself, stroking the beard on his chin.
If three of the five Oathkeeper clans are in Kaolin-Ithurian (the Oathkeeper clan of Annihilus are dwarves), this sounds indeed incredible. Moreover, Fang Pulun has never heard of such a legend on the Baozhang Coast. There are various ancient legends about that cold and windy frozen fjord, but there are not many related to the dragon. .
But if you think about it carefully, even Toragotos has been to that place once, and his temperament changed drastically after returning from there. Although it may have buried the cause of dark power in its body early on, this at least shows that It must have encountered something on the coast of Baozhang.
Thinking of Toragotos, Fang Plov couldn't help but think of what he encountered underground in Mount Piriede. Has the green dragon been resurrected? Even its death itself seems to be a matter full of puzzles.
Many clues seemed to be gradually connecting together, and Fang Yu couldn't help but turn his palm over and look at the badge. Is the secret about 'Quvenstharidu' that Rune-Lynthius told him the truth behind all these events?
…
"Didn't you find anyone?"
Yong Ye looked at the person in front of him.
The man was sweating profusely and panting and shook his head: "President, we have asked them all. Some people have seen them and some have not. But there are so many people on the pier, no one will pay attention to them for no reason. Strangers, and no one can say exactly where they went.”
"What, they are our people, don't you know who they are?" Yong Ye frowned, subconsciously dissatisfied: "If it weren't for the other party, I and you, one by one, would no longer be in this world now. "
The man was so frightened that he fell into silence.
"Yong Ye," Tian Hua Luo on the side stopped him: "Forget it, there is no need to anger them, this is normal. Think about it if someone asks about you and me, remember the strangers you met half an hour ago. In which direction you went, will you remember?"
Yongye sighed. It was not that he didn't know the objective reason. It was just that the person he had been looking for for so long suddenly appeared in front of him, but then disappeared all of a sudden. Anyway, he would feel a little anxious.
In fact, there have always been two opinions about that man's death, both in the community and within Fenris Island. Those who support the other party's failure to escape, and those who want to see people alive and dead and want to see corpses have always been divided into two groups, and they are still arguing to this day.
Intellectually, he should stand on the viewpoint of the former group, but subconsciously, he vaguely felt that the other party might not have stayed in the abyss under Fenris Island. The reason was very simple. After such a big thing happened, how could the other party disappear without a trace? There was no trace.
Even if he returns to the other side of the Star Gate, at least some news should be sent back.
But it was not until today that he was convinced for the first time that he was not wrong. But unfortunately, the evidence was right in front of him, but he was unable to seize the opportunity.
Thinking of this, he apologized to the man a little exhausted.
"Sorry, President... I didn't mean to do it." The man whispered back.
"I understand," Yong Ye sighed again and cheered up, "It doesn't matter. As long as we didn't misjudge the person, it at least means that our guess is right. As long as he is still alive, one day we can find him."
"President," the man said again: "I think...since he is here and this port is not that big, we can mobilize manpower to screen this place. I think the reason why they appeared here The dock must have just arrived at this place. In this case, I shouldn’t leave in a short time..."
Yong Ye was slightly startled, and then his eyes lit up.
Tiantian Hualuo's eyes also lit up, she looked at the man and said: "Okay, you kid, this is indeed a solution."
As he spoke, he turned back and looked at his old buddy: "Yong Ye."
Yong Ye waved his hand and interrupted him.
"Needless to say, I understand," Yong Ye replied: "But Tiejiao Port is small, but with the few manpower we have, it will probably take less than ten days and a half to search this place. You How can we be sure that they will stay here for so long?”
Tiantian Hualuo was silent for a moment, and then tentatively replied: "Maybe we can find a way."
"What's the solution? Blockade the port, but how do you plan to convince the Guta people?"
"Blocking the port is not enough," Paradise Flowers shook her head. Fenris' blood ship had gained some fame on the cloud sea, but it was far from reaching this level. "But we can go to the port authority and think about it. We can get information on all the ships that have recently entered the port, and it would be best to find a way to keep them here for a while."
The so-called airliners are regular flights to and from various ports. Although private ships can also carry people, in this era when businessmen go to sea and become pirates, few people dare to easily entrust their wealth and life to others. Above character.
So generally speaking, in the absence of their own sailboats, the electors often rely on these regular ships to travel across the sea.
Yong Ye turned back and looked at him: "But how do you plan to convince the Guta people?"
"This is not simple," Tiantang Hualuo replied confidently: "The most important thing for the liner is safety. As long as there are pirates nearby, it will be fine."
"Are you going to pretend to be a pirate?" Yong Ye looked at the other party in surprise. He didn't expect that his old friend would be so bold and original.
This is no joke. Although there are many pirate groups among the selectors, once they choose this identity, it will be difficult to enter and exit the ports of mainland countries. At best, they can only park in free ports. Although it is just pretending, pretending also carries a great risk of exposure.
"That's not true. Where did you go?" Tiantang Hualuo shook her head: "Don't worry, I have my own way."
Yong Ye narrowed his eyes and was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Okay," he replied: "In that case, we can't just start with the Guta people. I'll find a way to notify Yunzhi Port and ask them to send more people over. After all, the pirates can't hide this matter. How long will it take for these ships to stay at Iron Reef Port forever?"
Tiantian Hualuo nodded, it was easy to partner with the old guy, and there was no need for him to talk nonsense.
