Saya knocked on the door, and within a moment, the closed wooden door opened. Inside the door was a pair of vigilant eyes. Its owner glanced at everyone nervously before saying, "You are finally back." The man shifted his gaze over again and landed on the three of them, "They are ?”
"He's the person I'm looking for."
"They were the ones who broke Dollifon's illusion?"
Saya nodded.
The man then opened the door and let everyone in. However, he stood aside and looked at Fang Plover with an expression that was obviously a bit curious and awe-inspiring.
Chosen people rarely look at people like this, unless they are ardent fans - but apart from Afifa, Fang Plover has never seen another fan of his, not to mention Afifa is not a Chosen person. But this is normal. Compared with those real superstar-level recruits, he is still far behind. He has only experienced a few incidents that have given him considerable exposure. But in the eyes of outsiders, his absolute strength is still far away. Far from enough to support his fame.
He is like Loofah of the same era. Before she really came to prominence, many people believed that she would 'perish' or 'die' midway. There are many geniuses, but there are endless incidents of shining stars quickly dimming, like meteors streaking across the sky. Some are enough to leave a memory in people's hearts, but most of them cannot even leave a memory.
The few incidents that Fang Plover experienced were enough for him to leave a mark in the history of Aitalia, but whether the decisive factor was luck or strength, others could not clearly see. Most voices still think that his "virtue is not worthy". The virtue here naturally refers to the absolute strength possessed by a chosen one.
However, these voices at least agree with one theory, believing that he is qualified to compete with the outstanding newcomers of this period. These people include several talented teenagers trained by the Rainbow Alliance and the descendants of Flor. Several people said that Maybe you even know him—for example, Wu Di from Silver Forest Spear.
People even think that he is superior and can surpass several other newcomers, at least in the first world. This is the term "Rookie King" that was popular a few years ago. Of course, after Loofah, people rarely mention this title now. After all, the 'Rookie King' had a lot of things happen to him back then. But all in all, it has almost given him the status of 'Miss Lofa' of the Rose Crusade.
Also known as Sophie, before Fang Plover appeared, this little princess of Silver Vislan was called the second Luofa, so she would sometimes laugh and say that Fang Plover had taken away her. Status, uneasy kindness. But when she said this, her tone was very relaxed, even teasing, and Fang Yu could tell that the other party didn't care too much about the title.
There are actually many people who don't care about this title. For example, there are only a few geniuses in the second world, but each of them has a strength close to that of Her Royal Highness. Fang Yu always knew the strength of those novices who were called 'Rising Stars', but those people were from two different worlds from him, and there was almost no intersection between them.
This is the reality. Most people will only look at the second world, whether it is within the Star Gate or outside. Discussing what happened in the first world on the community level is actually just a fairly small circle, and most of the people in this circle are senior 'players' like Luo Hao and Fang Plover himself. These people get involved because they are interested in this world. In the eyes of ordinary people, they are already considered hardcore. However, more ordinary fans of ultra-competitive sports may not even be able to tell the difference between those low-level leagues. Of course, It’s even less clear what’s behind the Covenant Mountain incident.
Just like Ai Xiaoxiao not long ago.
The more you understand the rules of this world, the harder it is to become that kind of ardent fan. Therefore, people who know the first world are often very familiar with the sphere of influence of the major guilds in the first world, and they comment on the newcomers who have emerged from this lower world, but they rarely look up to them.
And people who can develop such a mentality will not pay attention to what happens in the first world.
This is the dilemma encountered by most of the electors and guilds in the first world. The lack of attention from reality means the lack of commercial value. There will not be many people who will join them and they will not be able to obtain the attention from reality. With the input of the world, the poor will become poorer and the rich will become richer.
The Super Competitive League could have balanced this, but now it seems that instead of doing that, they have exacerbated this division.
Since the Grand Guild monopolizes most of the upward channels from the first world to the second world, ordinary people have given up on those unrealistic fantasies over time. They only regard staying in the first world as a simple job to make a fortune, just like the gold diggers in the gold rush of the 18th century - anyway, even if they do not go to the second world, they simply rely on the high-dimensional information they obtain. You can also exchange money from governments of various countries. If you are lucky, it may even be enough to meet your needs for the rest of your life.
Even among those who have not yet come to this world, but have the desire and opportunity to go, there are more and more people who have this idea. After they go to the Star Gate, they just go to the Star Gate simply to make a fortune, rather than pursue higher and better things. Far - go to the second world, and even search for the more distant unknown.
Fang Plover couldn't help but think that maybe this was why Miss Scarpet and Mr. Quelord thought he was weird. There are fewer and fewer Chosen Ones like the forerunners in the past. The idea of the Freely Chosen going to the second world through their own efforts is simply a whimsical idea.
Not to mention individuals, even guilds like Tapolis are becoming fewer and fewer, with only one or two examples in ten years. But at that time, people still had at least some expectations. After the Super Competitive League further narrowed the living space for free-chosen candidates, the possibility of this was almost becoming less and less. Just look at where the Oak Knights are today.
Perhaps that's why the Super Competitive Alliance's decision this time will cause such a big stir among the free selectors.
Even if the hope is slim, there is still a glimmer of hope. However, if this possibility is completely cut off, the result will be too desperate and suffocating in the eyes of ordinary selectors. Even though this opportunity may not be relevant to most people, they can still feel the same bone-chilling chill.
It’s unclear how long the turmoil in the southern region will last. Even in the north of the kingdom, it seems that the integration of the descendants of Flor and the Rainbow Alliance is not going smoothly.
Thinking of this, Fang Yu couldn't help but look at Saya who was walking in front. The latter was also one step behind, came to him, and said without looking back: "It doesn't matter that your title of Dragon Alchemist is more widely known. But in fact, in the North, your experience in Dolifen is more legendary. After all, Most people have heard that story and have even experienced that vision.”
Fang Yu believes that one of the three 'copies' of Kaolin-Ithurian is well paid and contains such twists and turns and bizarre stories. As long as the selector in the north has the ability, I'm afraid Will choose to go.
However, that illusion has been broken by him, and this so-called 'copy' no longer exists. He still doesn't know if he will become the public enemy of the Northern Selectors, but he did not expect that others will regard him as a public enemy. legend.
Saya was not surprised after hearing his words: "It's true that they don't think so, but they are just a minority. No matter how rich the rewards in Dolifen's Illusion are, they are only at the level of ordinary adventures. The Adventurers Association has many tasks. How could it be just an illusion? And most people who can become Chosen People still have some sense of justice in their hearts - you may not know what you have done in Dolifen, and how it affects the entire world. What a blessing the north is, you know thirty years is not that far away, and many people in the area around Dolifin have their relatives and close friends caught in the fire of the past."
She paused: "The people who witnessed it back then are just old and have not passed away yet. The bad news of the past may still remain in the depths of their memories. When someone personally lifts the illusion and calms down the resentment of the dead souls, After getting angry, you can imagine how those who are related to it will view all this. The reaction of the indigenous people is truly responded to the chosen ones who stayed here, so they are almost all the beneficiaries of your actions. "
Fang Plover was a little embarrassed by the praise. In fact, they were just trying to get out of trouble. Su Changfeng actually said something similar to him, but he didn't expect it to be exaggerated to this extent.
However, he recalled what happened in Vanrik. At that time, the people from El Paxin almost fell out with the consul sent by the royal family because of him, which is also evident from this. The beauty of people's kindness is that they reciprocate gratitude, allowing the fire to be preserved and making him feel a little proud of his original choice.
Saya turned back to look at him: "But more importantly, there are many bards who are willing to sing your story, because I don't know where it came from. The illusion of Dolifen has been proven to be related to the dragon witch and the holy sword. People are certain that there is something to do with Garapea, and I heard that some people who witnessed the incident came out to testify - many clues have converged to Traveler's Rest, because you stayed there temporarily, and there are still people who come there to this day. Look for 'legendary deeds' there."
When Fang Yu heard this, he couldn't help but think of Mazak and the president of the Black Goat Chamber of Commerce. Apart from Knight Dict, they were actually the only two people who could be said to have witnessed the incident. The person who witnessed the incident came out to testify - could it be that he was talking about the former owner of Traveler's Rest?
But what is the other party's plan to highlight their experience in Dolifen? It shouldn't be meaningful to increase the reputation of the Seven Seas Brigade among the chosen people and the natives, especially in his understanding, Mazak does not seem to be a person who is keen on this.
"Because the story of you in Dolifen has been widely spread in the North, it has given you a lot of reputation among the people." Saya's words seemed to confirm his thoughts, "I can guess your identity. In fact, There is also this reason. But you don’t have to worry too much, that’s because we have met you twice and seen you take action, and the people in the Silver Forest Spear outside may not be able to recognize you."
Fang Yu nodded slightly. He also guessed the reason, so he didn't seem very nervous at the beginning.
Saya added: "Although you are wanted, there are many people who admire you, especially in this place. I have not disclosed your identity to others, otherwise it will probably attract onlookers."
Fang Yu was a little speechless, was he thinking that much?
But he felt the curious and respectful gaze from the gatekeeper, and suddenly felt that maybe the other party was not joking, but the only question now was, how did the bards publicize their deeds?
Of course, as a young man, he still enjoyed this kind of gaze.
However, his real masterpiece was in Fenris. There was very little discussion in the community about that incident, because the military and the Super Sports League had a tacit understanding to block all relevant information and did not allow people to discuss the inside story at that time.
Of course the military was trying to protect him, but the Super Sports Alliance didn't know what their intentions were. People were secretly speculating on who the original alchemist was, and many of them compared him with the 'unidentified' alchemist.
The results of the comparison are varied, but most of them are posts with insufficient evidence. What makes Fang Yu a bit dumbfounded is that most people do not agree that the Dragon Alchemist and the savior of Fenris are the same person. The reason is also very simple, because the community has very strict restrictions on all related posts, almost prohibiting discussion, but it does not prohibit discussion of the comparison of the two identities.
Going by the opposite idea, one concludes that the two cannot be the same person.
This simple and crude logic is very convincing to ordinary people.
However, this matter was of great importance, and Fang Yu didn't know how many clues the descendants of Flor had, and whether they had already deduced his identity. Those who had more information did not speak and remained silent in tacit agreement, but he always felt that someone might have guessed who he was.
At that time, the military intercepted the signal from the time he entered the pyramid to the final confrontation with the Saurus God. The conversation between him and Sylvide, which made him most likely to reveal his identity, was not circulated, but at least it was That signal was received in several places.
Among them were the royal family of Corrin-Ithurion and the Craftsmen's Guild.
The military's statement was to protect the suspect - he learned this statement from Alice, and the suspect was naturally her. For the same reason, the outside world does not know what role the twin sister played at that time.
Fang Yu was not sure whether the descendants of Flor had also obtained this video. If they had grasped this fact, it would be entirely possible for them to deduce his identity.
However, in the absence of any statement from either party, he felt that it was better for him to remain silent, especially for Toragotos and the Dragon Cult. Not knowing that he was still alive was a guarantee of safety for him. .
So even though it was a pity, he still kept this secret.
Thinking of this, Fang Yu couldn't help but explore his chest with his hand. The mithril mask stuck there concealed one of his biggest secrets.
Saya didn't notice this subtle movement of his, and after the rangers entered the room one by one, Fang Yu could see clearly what was going on inside with the help of the firelight outside. It was like an abandoned house. There was no furniture or utensils in the empty room. The doors of all the rooms were sealed, leaving only a long and narrow passage.
That passage leads not to the back of the house, but underground. The rangers walking in front seemed to be accustomed to entering and exiting this passage. They walked down the stairs there without hesitation and disappeared one after another.
"Where are we going?" Fang Pliover asked, looking in that direction.
"This passage leads outside the city," Saya replied while looking behind her, where the gatekeeper was closing the wooden door of the house outside. The light in the room dimmed and became pitch black again, "Crow's Claw later. When the knights search this place, they may find this passage. This passage will have to be abandoned in the future. But it’s nothing, it’s just an alternate route for us.”
Fang Yu was a little stunned when he heard this. He could tell from these words that the conflict between Saya and the Crow Claw Temple was far from being as simple as it seemed - at least it didn't break out by accident. Judging from each other's looks, they were already prepared.
That means the conflict could be long-term.
He couldn't help but be very curious about what happened between the time they left Idris and here.
Moreover, is it really okay for the other party to tell him this frankly?
Saya seemed to see what he was thinking, and then she said: "Don't worry, since I invited you to come, I won't hide anything. Since Xiao Kong is willing to believe you, then I can also choose to believe you."
Fang Yu was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "So what happened to the Oak Knights?"
"Then it depends on you -" Saya paused and changed her words: "It starts after Yugudora and the others split. After that, the knights were divided into two. Yugudora and the others were among the knights. The prestige among them is very high, so most of them left with them, including even two elite brigades.”
Fang Yu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard the other party mention this matter.
Although he wasn't sure what Saya was thinking when she mentioned this matter, he thought there should be some resentment - the Nanami Brigade had personally experienced the split of Tapolis, and although they had not intervened in it, they had From the perspective of the people on the other side, they should be considered to be in the same group as Yugudora and others, right?
After all, you can hear it from the other party's initial change of mouth.
But Saya was walking in the dark corridor, her expression and tone were very calm, as if she was recounting something that had nothing to do with her: "The situation of the Knights was very bad during that time, but after all, they also reached an agreement with the Rainbow Alliance. Unanimous - In fact, we reached an agreement with the people of Silver Forest Spear to let us join the alliance - after we had investors, we joined the Rainbow Alliance, and with the original reputation of Tapolis, the guild was more or less restored. Got some energy."
"I don't really want to talk about those things on the other side," she replied: "After those people leave, they have nothing to do with us anymore. They use their name of the Oak Knights, and we use ours, which is equivalent to There were two Tapolis at one time. After that, the senior management urgently assigned a group of new people from the youth training camp to enter Aitalia. Xiao Kong joined at that time. Later, we took these new people to Beikaolin. Experience, that is when I met you all in Idris——"
Her tone suddenly calmed down: "But we didn't expect that shortly after we left the North, several major events happened in the guild."
