"They are... my classmates, Mr. Ed," Laila introduced nervously, "This is Britta, she, she is... from the Empire. The others are like me, from the Stags Principality. College students. They came to buy experimental materials today. They saw me here, so they came to say hello to me..."
The tall black-haired girl was also looking at them, with suspicion in her emerald eyes. "Laila, who are they?" she asked.
The girl's voice was crisp and strong, and she sounded like a decisive person.
"Britta, they are my employer now, didn't I tell you? I'm working part-time now."
Laila bit her friend's ear and whispered.
Britta frowned. "I have told you so many times that you are working part-time outside, so you might as well come and help me."
But Laila pursed her lips and looked at her without answering.
She knew that Britta had a good family background, but she didn't want to be inferior to her only friend.
Sylvester's eyes fell on the valuable velvet fabric of Britta's magic robe, thinking that she was a confident girl with a wealthy family, but she still lacked some understanding of human nature.
"Are those people who left just now also with you?" Fang Yu originally wanted to speak. But Sylvide glanced at him and signaled her captain to calm down with a calm look before she asked aloud.
The other group of people she met before didn't look like people from the Empire, and listening to their words, she could tell that they were college students from the Hart Principality. Sylvide roughly heard that what happened was related to the Lynn family, but she had seen a lot of people like that, so she didn't really care.
"Hmph, don't mention them. It's irritating to mention them." Britta snorted lightly regardless of how close she was to Fang Plover and the others, "Those bastards in the Cursed Branch are instigating the people of the Haifa family to be here." Suppress people from the principality, they are too naive to listen to the nonsense of that guy from Juno."
The girl sneered and gritted her teeth: "Even if they can give up all their principles, can they give up their origins? Dignity is gained through struggle. It's a shame that Laila was so good to them before."
These words made Fang Yu feel good.
His mentor once told him that when traveling to unknown areas, reason and courage are twin stars that reflect each other. The lack of the former turns into recklessness; the lack of the latter turns into cowardice.
To give in blindly is not wisdom, but weakness.
But human weakness stems from their animal instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
And only the courage to overcome weakness, unyielding and resistance are the shining lights of human nature.
Sylvide also agreed, and she looked at Laila.
"Britta's magician majored in the School of Protection. When she chose a branch... she took Horfen's theory as an elective because she thought..." Laila explained in a low voice, "She thinks everyone is wrong and tends to others. There is a misunderstanding about Ash-Lynn's view of the Great Mage...or, or she is misled, Britta...she believes that the new magic under Horfin's theory exists..."
"Because the ether can't lie," Britta said when talking about magic, she seemed to have changed into a different person, becoming calm and rational, "Although no one in the world has seen the new magic of Ash the Great Mage. Guidance, but I have personally verified that his ether theory is self-consistent."
"...As we all know, all elements and the power of all magic come from the sea of ether. The basis of magic is ether theory. Magic based on solid theory. If it is deduced that new magic can exist, then it will It must exist.
Maybe it still exists in the mist and is not discovered by the world, but this is not the reason why the magicians explore this world. The Great Mage Ash has left a beacon on the etheric sea, and what we have to do now is just pass that beacon to find the final answer. "
This girl was radiating a strong light, "I don't understand why they are prejudiced, but magicians should not be profit animals. The purpose of our existence in this world is to seek the truth. Mr. Ash's unfinished business I will complete his career for him. I will prove to them the new magic techniques that those people cannot find!"
Laila looked at her friend in a daze.
She didn't know whether it was envy or a little ashamed of herself.
"Britta is the best among us, and she is from the Empire," the young man who spoke first also said at this time, "If she hadn't chosen Horfen's theory, the tutors would definitely like her very much. But the tutors didn't I like the theory of Horfen Academy and think it is fallacy. Britta founded our group and united everyone in the principality, so she was suppressed everywhere in the academy. Now she even needs experimental materials and land. Raise money yourself..."
"You don't have to say that, Laila, Hain," Britta shook her head, "I don't need anyone to like or agree with me. The reason why I chose the Holfen theory is not because you are my friends. It's Because it’s right, simple as that.”
"But Juno and the others couldn't stand this, so they chose to leave," Laila couldn't help but say, "They are just ordinary college students who came here to have a brighter future. They think it was us on purpose. I offended the people of the Empire and that’s why I ended up here today. I..."
"You want to say that you are also a member of the Lynn family," Britta glanced at her and said angrily, "So they suffered on behalf of your family? So you think that Ash-Lynn Archmage is also a liar? Or shouldn’t the principality’s magicians have failed the imperial people in every competition?”
Laila turned pale.
Only then did Britta realize that she had spoken too harshly. But she was like this, so she turned away and didn't know how to change her words.
Sylvide looked at the two of them, smiled, and asked Laila:
"What about you, Laila, what do you think?"
"Miss Sylvide, I..."
Laila was at a loss. "But the instructors don't like it..."
Britta snorted heavily after hearing this. She was somewhat sympathetic to her friend's background, but she clearly knew that she was the victim, but she always thought of others.
This made her very angry.
Sylvide blinked and then looked back at her captain.
And Fang Yu had already gotten the answer he wanted. Laila did not deny her relationship with the Lynn family. He had always been curious about how the Linn family viewed this period of history. Although the truth had been covered up twenty years ago, he had always believed that at least a considerable part of the description of the old servant of the Linn family was credible.
Laila looked worried, but she did not directly refute the question raised by Sylvester, at least it confirmed this from the side.
He is now quite curious about what happened twenty years ago, but it is not yet time to ask directly.
He thought for a moment and said this to Laila:
"Someone once told me that not everything in this world is right or wrong...but there are indeed lies, concealments and conspiracies. And some things, Miss Laila, they are right and wrong - and They don’t cease to exist just because someone doesn’t like them.”
fact.
It won't change because of what people say.
And time will eventually prove everything.
…
When they returned to the hotel, Miss May suddenly mentioned: "May like your words very much, Mr. Ed."
Everyone had been shopping in Ayinbrok all day, and they were all a little tired, but only the knight lady was still in high spirits.
The female knight placed a pair of small, silver handguards on her kite shield, recalling the situation at that time: "The truth is not afraid of lies, and this is also mentioned in the ancient admonitions. Although I am not familiar with the matter of the magician I don’t know much about it, but I can tell from Miss Britta’s words that she didn’t lie. So if some people are honest, someone must have lied. Mr. Ed can see people’s hearts——”
Fang Yu had never been praised like this before, and he couldn't help but blush. He was just talking about his thoughts. Insights into people's hearts had nothing to do with him.
Others laughed too.
Tianlan coaxed: "Miss Mei is really good at talking. You can see that the captain's face is red."
"Shut up, Tianlan!" Fang Yu said angrily.
"But May is not a compliment," Miss Knight replied solemnly: "It is a true observation. I have met many people who are not as open as Mr. Ed. We ask ourselves to pursue our ideals, but how many people do it? Do you have a clear conscience?"
Tianlan almost burst into tears laughing.
Of course she understood that everything Mei said was sincere, but it was just the right time to speak.
"Yes, yes," she said, "Brother Ed is such a good man."
Fang Yu looked at this guy speechless.
Aitila shook her head and tapped her little head with her fingers.
"Ouch," Tian Lan cried out, holding her head, "Sister Aitila is partial."
In the end, it was Sylvester who smiled and helped her captain, "If Miss May says these words to Laila, she will definitely be very happy."
But Laila had already said goodbye to them and returned to the room.
It could be seen that what happened in the morning still had a great impact on the other party. After getting the promised reward, he left in a hurry without even ordering much money.
But Mei Yi thought about it seriously and asked: "But Mei Yi doesn't think Miss Laila needs comfort from others. She left her hometown and came here, if not to prove herself, why? Miss Laila is willing to To endure loneliness, she must have perseverance. If she couldn't see her own heart clearly, how could she become friends with someone like Miss Britta?"
Miss Knight looked at Fang Plover: "Mr. Ed, do you think May is right?"
Fang Plover was speechless for a moment.
Even Sylvide looked thoughtful.
Miss Knight is innocent and old-fashioned, but her words often speak directly to people's hearts.
Laila left the Lynn family and came to this place to study, with the purpose of becoming a magician. The Lynn family is not a family of wizards. Ash-Lynn is the founder of Horfen College, but not all of his students are from the Lynn family.
But where is Lin En's family now?
In addition to Lila and Britta, is there anyone else who is carrying on Ash-Lynn's beliefs at this moment?
For what purpose did that girl come to this strange city far away from her relatives?
But after a while, May suddenly spoke again: "Mr. Ed, I want to borrow someone from you."
Fang Yu's heart thumped, and he immediately threw everything about the Lin En family out of his mind.
"Who?" he asked immediately.
"Mr. Parker."
"He..." Fang Plover winked at Parker quickly, signaling the guy to quickly find a decent excuse to escape.
Who knew that this damn Papalar man didn't seem to see it at all, and just stood there like nothing happened.
Fang Yu had an idea: "There seems to be something wrong with him."
"Ah?" The Papalar man finally realized, "Am I okay?"
"..." Fang Plover looked at this guy and took a breath of air.
"Mr. Ed?" May asked.
"Ah, I remembered wrongly...it's the box that's in trouble."
Holding the magic sword in his arms, Xiang Xiang raised his head and glanced at him strangely, wondering if this guy had any serious brain problems today.
Fang Yu felt that he would be angry with these two guys sooner or later, but Parker had already trotted over to Miss May.
Miss Knight whispered something to the latter, and the Papalar man nodded repeatedly. Fang Plover had never seen the other party look so obedient and obedient. When the latter passed by Fang Yu, Fang Yu grabbed the little man by the collar and asked in a low voice:
"What on earth are you doing?"
"I'm okay?" Parker looked innocent.
"Mr. Ed?" May looked at the two of them curiously.
Fang Yu was afraid that she would become suspicious, so he quickly let go of his hand and said word by word: "I'm afraid that this guy will delay your business, so I gave him a few words."
Mei pursed her lips, looking a little funny. Although she clearly saw that this was a clumsy excuse, she rarely asked. This made Fang Yu very flattered - he had never seen Miss Knight like this.
"Mr. Ed," May asked suddenly, "if one day Mr. Ed discovers that May is not telling the truth, will he hate her for it?"
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, thinking that that kind of thing could never happen, "Can Miss Mei also lie?"
But May nodded.
"Anyone can lie, whether it is unintentional or intentional, well-intentioned or malicious," Miss Knight replied seriously, "May also has her own secrets, Mr. Ed."
Fang Yu glanced at Parker suspiciously, always feeling that this guy knew something, but didn't tell him.
"Will Miss Mei be harmful to the Seven Seas Troupe?" he asked.
May shook her head.
"That's enough," Fang Yu thought for a moment and replied, "Miss Mei is right, everyone has their own secrets. We cannot force everyone to be honest with themselves and have double standards for themselves. After all, I have also concealed my identity as a stowaway, Miss Sylvide... She actually said the same thing to me..."
He looked at his ship officer.
Sylvide was smiling at him.
The story of the Lynn family is naturally buried in history.
But many people who experienced it back then are still alive. Not only includes the next generation like Laila, but also Ash-Lynn's students and people from the Hailfa family.
Time flew by unknowingly, and the unpleasantness of that day was quickly forgotten by everyone. It did not leave any grudge between everyone in the Seven Seas Brigade and Laila. Instead, after a day of getting along with each other, , everyone finally established a preliminary understanding with Laila.
After that, when Laila saw everyone in the hall again, she no longer evaded, and even occasionally greeted everyone - of course, mainly with Miss Sylvide, Alyssa and Attila.
Tianlan was too enthusiastic, and she felt a little uncomfortable with it, and she walked around this little girl who was born with twelve colors of iris. As for Luo Hao, Baggins and Luo Yu, they would also greet the girl, but they were not very familiar with each other.
Except that Laila is a little curious about the profession of elementalist.
But Lyra was especially fond of Miss May, because the upright Miss Knight once did her a small favor. After that, the girl had a good relationship with Miss Knight, and the two would occasionally stop and chat for a while.
But Miss Knight always makes some weird remarks, which makes the former feel that she doesn't know how to respond, but at the same time, she feels that Miss May is very upright and lovely.
The girl who was born in the Lin En family was most afraid of Fang Plover, Ji Ta and Xiang Xiang. Even because she had brought Etila with her, she was no longer afraid of the big cat man. The big cat man also gave her a nail pendant - of course not the lion paladin himself.
Laila also treasured it carefully.
But when she saw Fang Plover, the girl would still lower her head. Although she would greet him in a low voice, she would immediately run away. It seemed that if she stayed a little longer, Fang Plover would do something to her.
Fang Yu was confused.
In the end, it was Sylvide who smiled and pointed at the Hailin Chenxing on the collar of her captain, who made Fang Yu understand. After all, when he was talking to Pushe, that respectable businessman in the old city was also in awe of him.
Not to mention Leila.
A high-level alchemist's identity is indeed a bit too dazzling for a poor student living in the old city, even if he is a chosen one. What's more, due to the theocratic establishment of the country, the empire still highly respects the Holy Chosen Ones.
At that time, Stuart IV and his predecessor emperors all used this to rectify their names and prove that they were the chosen king of Ori and Anjina, and the chosen one by the Star Gate. Therefore, in the first division, the Chosen One's status in the Empire is actually quite respected.
After all, this is also the only region with a Chosen nation, which the Empire calls the Chosen Holy Kingdom. However, in other competition areas, generally called guild countries, in the border wilderness where the Empire has never set foot, the land designated by the selectors is where the guild and knight countries are located——
There are no more or less such countries in the empire, there are exactly four.
Belongs to three major forces, and the largest free guild of the Oshurs, Prometheus.
As for Kita and the box, Laila had mixed feelings. On the one hand, the two of them were official magicians. She was curious about Miss Scholar and Box's professions, but she was also worried that they would look down on her and even dare not approach them.
Miss Scholar herself is also an introvert. As for the latter - Xiang Xiang is always holding the magic sword in a daze recently, and she doesn't know what she is muttering - not to mention Laila, even Fang Plover feels a little headache.
While he was sending this guy to find a legendary craftsman who could seal the magic sword, he asked Papalal or Luo Yu to keep an eye on this guy, lest he suddenly become demonic and chop down everyone on the street or something.
Although this was just Fang Plover's imagination - he had never seen any magic sword in Aitaria, but he had heard a lot of related legends. And Tianlan seemed to see that his troubles were not enough, and deliberately told him a lot...
This bard lady finally found a place to perform her duties.
Before she was kicked out of the captain's room by Fang Pliance——
Naturally, the procurement work was not all completed in one day. After that, the Seven Seas Brigade gathered for several more operations. While sightseeing, they visited Ayin Block's large and small workshops and the alchemy black market. I've been to Fortress 'Mobius' several times.
Laila would also take time to be a guide for everyone when she was free. As she came and went, she became more and more familiar with everyone in the Seven Seas Brigade.
These days are probably the happiest days since she came to this city. Even Britta couldn't help but curiously asked her if she had a boyfriend after seeing the smile on her best friend's face for days.
Of course it made Laila have to explain herself.
So even this young lady became curious about the people in the Nanami Brigade.
After Fang Plover completed purchasing the raw materials, he made several trips to the Mobile Fortress 'Mobius' alone. He went mainly for technical reasons this time. To be precise, it is to obtain information related to heavenly knowledge, star-shaped network veins and dragon scale sequence.
As the summary of all Aitaria's ether theories, 'Mobius' has the most complete technology and knowledge base of all craftsmen's associations, and these three rare advanced skills are only possible in this place in the first world. Can be found.
If there is none here, then the only option is to go to the second world.
These three skills were also introduced before - they are the prerequisite skills for Delan's magic recovery.
In this way, the days passed day by day.
A week went by in a flash.
Soon, Fang Plover received a notice from Dotori:
The Empire Workshop officially invited him to the mobile fortress "Mobius". '
