Sunlight penetrated the window screen, causing Fang Plover to wake up from his sleep. He first felt the gentle breathing in his arms, like a long dream, with long light golden hair, and a warm person under the quilt cuddling with him.
Breathing softly, his chest rose and fell slightly.
Only then did he recall everything that happened yesterday, and he couldn't help but feel a dreamlike feeling. He turned around and his eyes fell on Sylvester's peaceful and peaceful sleeping face. Miss Ship Officer's brows were still slightly frowning, as if I still have the nightmare from last night.
The girl turned her face sideways and sunk her white cheek into the soft feather pillow. Her eyelashes are slender and curved, her eyelids are slightly drooped, her long hair like pure gold is spread on the bed, her neck is slender, and her exposed collarbone is as white as porcelain, forming a beautiful curve with her arched shoulders.
Fang Plover's heart was beating strongly under his chest, and he silently felt the quiet summer morning. The girl's tenderness was like a dream, in which she wrote an oath on his hand with her fingertips and responded to his gaze with her eyes.
What he embraced was not a person, but a heart, a soft and firm heart. All the emotions turned into feathers, gently lifting the two of them up, like a small boat, transporting them from one end of the dream river to the other side.
He looked at his ship officer lady with tender eyes.
Or lovers.
It's like feeling this kind of gaze. Sylvide's eyelashes moved slightly and she slowly opened her eyes. The lake-like eyes looked at the young man a little confused at first, but then they became clear, reflecting the morning light, and contained a hint of agility.
A shallow, gentle smile appeared on her face.
"Captain, are you awake?"
"Sylvid, I..."
The ship officer lady shook her head gently at him.
She stretched out a finger and pressed it to his lips.
"I know everything."
She leaned her head slightly on his chest and whispered, "I know, Ed, I'm not worried about what will happen in the future, because you will go to the second world with me to find my father. Everything will be slow." Change slowly, for the better.”
"...I also want to go further with you, until a long time later, until forever. Until one day we grow old and all journeys come to an end. Until one day the birds stop singing and we are the only ones in this world. Remember each other.”
"Will you always be by my side, Ed?"
"My name is Fang Plover, Sylvide," Fang Plover repeated, "that's the name my parents gave me."
He nodded, "It will always protect you."
Sylvester raised her face and looked at him, her blue eyes sparkling with water.
She smiled.
She stretched out her hand, held his face with her fingers, stretched her white neck, and kissed him on the face.
It is as gentle as a flower. The summer it blooms in, and the remaining temperature, are warm but not scorching. Like a star, like a song, like a poem, it is timeless. It happens secretly and grows quietly. When people notice it, it has spread and grown into two towering trees.
The vines are entangled and connected, waiting for each other, and they are silent.
Fang Yu didn't expect that he would stay in the room for a whole morning. After Sylvester fell asleep again, he changed his clothes and went to the hall outside. Since it was free time, everyone had already disappeared.
Only Miss Nightingale was still bored in this place, teasing Nini with her fingers, making Nini open her teeth and claws, and her long golden hair flew up. Alyssa's eyes lit up when she saw him coming out, and she couldn't help but give him a meaningful look.
"The captain stayed with Miss Sylvide yesterday?"
Fang Yu's face turned red and he hummed a few times in an attempt to change the topic.
But Miss Nightingale finally caught an opportunity to tease him, and she had no intention of letting him go. She rolled her eyes and said maliciously: "The captain comes out so late, I guess the ship officer lady must be very delicious, right?"
"But the captain must know how to exercise moderation."
Seeing that the topic was getting more and more outrageous, Fang Yu had to blush and cough, "Miss Alyssa."
Miss Nightingale covered her mouth and smiled like a little fox.
Fang Plover had no choice but to flee.
When he passed by the newspaper rack in the Hall of Gears and Magic Books, he took down a newspaper of the day from it. He originally wanted to read the news about the Arbitration Tribunal and the Continental League, but he didn't expect that the headlines on the front page were about the Abbott South Line. News of the attack.
"Where are the pirates who dare to go deep into the empire to attack a liner?"
Fang Yu secretly wondered whether these pirates were desperate for their lives, or whether they were treating the Imperial Navy as non-existent.
But when he scrolled down further, he couldn't help but be surprised, "What? This ship is chartered by the Hawke family...?"
He was slightly startled, wondering if this Hawke family was the one he knew well, but when he turned to the next page, he frowned and his expression became solemn. "Duke Hawke disappeared, and many Ori temples on the southern route of Abed were attacked..."
He silently turned the newspaper back to the front page.
Fang Luo's eyes fell on the extra-large front page news, and he realized that it was an extra-printed issue. In other words, this was an unexpected incident that happened earlier today. No wonder it overshadowed the news about the arbitration tribunal and the mainland league——
This is huge news.
However, he is no longer what he used to be, and he can easily smell the atmosphere of conspiracy.
Fang Yu was about to open the system, but suddenly the communication menu flashed, and his mind moved. A page of light screen appeared in front of him, and Su Changfeng's face appeared on it. The other party looked a little serious, "Something happened on Covenant Mountain." ”
"Yeah, I just saw the news...what!?"
Fang Yu subconsciously spoke, but he suddenly froze mid-sentence.
Why did something happen to Covenant Mountain again?
This was his first thought.
But he immediately realized that something was wrong. The scene of the conversation between Miya and him last night could not help but come to mind, and he couldn't help blurting out: "How is Miya?"
"It seems you already know," Su Changfeng gave him a meaningful look, "Miya, the Sea Witch, led the Free Chosen to attack Covenant Mountain. Ragnarok has not informed us of the specific details, but The Third Division has now lost its last foothold in the turbid realm.”
He paused and said, "The Super Competitive Alliance is still in a state of suspension, but Ragnarok has applied to us to issue a gray warrant. Now that we are acting on behalf of the alliance, it may be difficult to reject Ragnarok's application."
"As for the whereabouts of the Sea Witch herself after the attack, her whereabouts are unknown. She should have been injured, but Ragnarok's losses were even more severe. They lost at least one dragon knight. Vice-president Li Yang died in the battle and has now returned to the Star Gate."
"Ragnarok is now furious. They have sent seven additional brigades to the second world to search for the whereabouts of the Sea Witch. Odin has also left the Hill of Giant Trees and returned to the second world."
Fang Plover was completely stunned.
He thought of the warrior king whom he had met once, and who had taught him a lot in Nevader; and then he thought of Miya, the quiet and elegant wolf girl. But he never expected that things would turn out like this.
Losing the last foothold in the Turbid Realm means that the ten major guilds have lost all their advantages in the second world, and may even be driven out of the second world at any time, although there is still a coalition of giant tree hills to rely on. .
But on the one hand, the second division does not have an advantage in the turbid realm. More importantly, who knows whether the Europeans will add insult to injury at this time?
The alliance between the two parties was originally based on a relationship of equality and equal strength.
Fang Yu could almost imagine that the former alliance and even the Rainbow Alliance must be in chaos at this moment, but after losing Covenant Mountain, it would be difficult for them to seize other areas from the empire. But before that, these guilds will definitely take revenge on Miya.
He didn't care much about what would happen to the top ten guilds.
He was worried about Miss Miya.
Thinking of what the other party had said to him and Sylvester at the end, Fang Pliong had a bad feeling in his heart.
But the information Su Changfeng had was limited to this, and they couldn't get any more information before Ragnarok found Miya.
However, in comparison, Fang Plover would rather they not find Miya.
He originally wanted to discuss the information about the drastic changes in the empire with the other party. Behind the attack on the Apenand ship, he vaguely felt something was wrong, but who was behind it? Is it related to the Shadow Man and the Dragon Cult? There are relationships?
Fang Yu couldn't figure it out for a moment.
But at the moment, his mind was in a mess, and his mind was filled with Miya's words to him and Sylvester, and he was only thinking about whether he could contact the other side to find out what happened.
However, Su Changfeng asked, and Fang Yu only mentioned what was happening in the empire. However, the military seemed to have many things to worry about. Su Changfeng only asked him to pay attention to the young man detained by the Ori Knights and wait for the Star Gate Special Operations Team to join them.
Fang Plover nodded.
He immediately hung up the communication and impatiently sent a message to the Sea Witch, but nothing came of it, and there was no response, which made him feel even more gloomy. But he put his hand on his heart, and the only thing that made him feel at ease was that Xinghui was as quiet as ever——
Twins can feel the condition of the other person they are connected to.
Back when she was underground in Idus, Miya took the initiative to contact him because she felt the abnormal fluctuations in his starlight. His ability is naturally far inferior to that of the Sea Witch, but he can still detect a clue from his own starlight.
At least so far, there doesn't seem to be anything going on with Miya.
Fang Yu sighed slightly.
The second world is too far away from him, and the Seven Seas Brigade is still working hard for a ticket to qualify to pass that door.
In fact, at the beginning of the July War, he and Miss Miya were destined to be in two different worlds. However, their fates were unexpectedly intertwined due to an erroneous relationship. Hailin Crown was like an invisible... Hands connect the two.
He felt a little depressed and uneasy for a while. Two major events happened in succession, which always made people feel like a storm was coming. On Duke Hawke's side, the liner was attacked and the Duke himself disappeared inexplicably. As far as he knew, the Duke had lost Starlight in the Battle of Byrne.
But exactly how much is left is unknown.
Everyone's stock of starlight is the most private matter, and few outsiders can know it except the closest people. This is especially true for these important nobles.
So is the Duke dead, or is he using the attack on the golden cicada to escape and hide himself behind the scenes? But there is also a possibility that someone imprisoned the Duke, and Apenand and a series of Ori temples in the surrounding areas were attacked——
It is easy to think that someone is attacking the resurrection point.
The subsequent development of the situation was as Fang Plover expected.
As expected, the biggest impact on the Kaolin-Ithurian delegation was Miya's attack on Mount Covenant.
Ragnarok's soul fingerprint, Snow of Silver Vislan, and Virus all left the empire one after another and returned to Corin-Ithurion to handle matters within the guild.
When the new knight princess of Silver Vislan, who knew something about his relationship with Miya, sent her to the airport, the other party looked at him up and down curiously, and said to him meaningfully: "It's best not to tell too many people about the relationship between you and Miya in the future."
Fang Yu was startled.
"But don't you and Sister Ming already know, and Ms. Virus."
"Sister Ming and I will help you keep it a secret," Bai Xue hesitated for a while before making up his mind, "As long as the guild doesn't take the initiative to ask about this... Of course, this is still a big risk for us. Fortunately, Sister Ming, the club behind her won’t do anything to her, but it’s different for me..."
"I am optimistic about you and plan to place a bet on you," she said to Fang Plover, "...so you must not forget my favor."
She spoke a little calmly, but she also looked at Fang Plover with some hesitation and uneasiness.
Fang Yu understood that this matter was very important to the other party. In the eyes of outsiders, she has always been in competition with Sophie, but in fact she has always been the alternative in Silver Wisland. Especially after Sophie left for the second world, her value in Silver Wisland has also been greatly increased. weakened.
There may be warmth within the Grand Guild, but definitely not much.
Especially for the less important members.
This is true even for guilds like Silver Vislan.
He nodded.
Bai Xue then smiled and said, "Thank you, we will see you later."
"See you later."
So after Soul Fingerprint, Bai Xue and Virus left one after another, Bi Fang was also recalled by the guild not long after, so there was actually only Ming left in the delegation.
This time, the God Killer's response to the attack on Covenant Mountain was mediocre, appearing calm and unfazed. In addition, Ming herself is the president of the God Killer Guild, and she decided to stay, so no one can let her leave.
Bi Fang and his team of analysts left behind a large pile of data and information about their opponents before leaving, which was regarded as the last legacy for the Kaulin-Ithulian delegation. But the Construct Queen put all this information aside, and then said to them:
"In the last round of the competition, the strategy Soul Fingerprint and Virus have been set before leaving, so I won't make any changes. You just need to score points conservatively. Entering the Twin Towers Trial is already a certainty, so our focus will be Not in this round.”
She paused and scanned the information carelessly.
"As for the Twin Towers Trial, these information will not be of much use. I will tell you what you need to pay attention to during the training."
Ming's tone of voice left no room for doubt.
Everyone could only nod.
Two major events happened one after another, and the Continental League, which had just gained some popularity, was once again overshadowed. It seemed that even the arbitration of the Scroll Knights and the confrontation between the dragon knights of Ayin Block had become trivial matters.
Within the empire, everyone's attention was attracted by the attack on the Abenand ship. The almighty Emperor had ordered a thorough investigation into the matter, but for a while there was no result.
As for outside the empire, people's eyes are turned to the second world, to the turbid realm where the pattern has changed drastically, and they seem to vaguely smell the coming of a war.
So in such a situation where no one is paying attention.
The mainland league has quietly restarted, starting the last round of the second round of the finals.
As Ming said, among the last five games in the second round of the Continental League finals, there were no surprises in the first two games. One of them was even a civil war between the Kaolin people, which was uneventful.
In the penultimate game, the main delegation of Kaolin-Ishulian met the main team of Tree Hill, Sandshak Craftsmen Association, and the delegation of Twelve Color Iris, but the opponent made the talented player Forin. He started the race in the first round and just missed Fang Pliong and Weiyu.
This is as analyzed by Virus and Soul Fingerprint. In the last round of competition, almost all the teams that had already qualified steadily began to conserve their strength to perform better in the Twin Towers Trial.
After the two sides exchanged scores to show respect, the game quickly came to an end. Even the home team of the Empire, which Virus originally thought would cause trouble, seemed quite satisfactory in the last game.
I don’t know if it was affected by the recent frequent events in the empire, but the Oshu people didn’t seem to intend to make more news. In the last round of the competition, although Fang Plover faced one of the two stars of the empire, ——
But what is surprising is that the Empire actually produced the most common plug-in.
In the end, the game was uneventful. Fang Plover was almost tied with the twin star, and won with a slight advantage of 0.5 points. If it had been placed before, this score would probably have caused some discussion, but after experiencing the many incidents involving Ayinbrok and the Arbitration Tribunal, the audience was no longer surprised by this magical dragon alchemist.
The fact that the other party might be on par with their imperial twin doesn't seem so unacceptable.
However, at the end of the game, Ming reminded Fang Pliu.
The Construct Queen told him that the other Empire Twin was actually slightly more powerful than this one. "The opponent may be far inferior to you in combat, but in the field of craftsmanship, even if that guy is not as good as you, he won't be too far behind."
These are her exact words.
"Sister Ming has seen that person?" Fang Yu was a little surprised.
Ming nodded, "That's a student of the Gray King, the future main craftsman of Gray Field. I've naturally seen him before."
"Student from FOX?"
Fang Yu was really surprised when he heard that it was related to the king of craftsmen. It seems that he has been in the empire for so long, but he has never heard anyone mention the craftsman of the Ten Kings. At the same time, he may even be one of the top three of the Ten Kings.
But as the final round of competition came to an end.
The Twin Towers Trial is also happening right before our eyes.
In the end, the Kaolin-Ithurian delegation came in third place and all passed the preliminaries and entered the next round.
This can be considered a little beyond everyone's expectations——
After all, it is not surprising that the main team of the Kaolin people can pass the preliminaries, but it is not easy to get third place. The Dragon Alchemist from Fenris is amazing, but there is only one. However, the performance of the rest of the Kaolin-Ithurian delegation, especially the performance of Weiyu, Luo Wei and Shui Wuming, can be said to have exceeded everyone's expectations.
In the last few games, the young man from Yasha, Guland, also showed amazing talent in potions.
This incident did not attract much attention from the outside world, but it has already caused heated discussions in the more professional community.
Some people even think that the Chosen Craftsmen of Kaolin-Ishulian's current generation even have the possibility of reaching the top ten in the Holy King War. The most vocal people among them are naturally Fang Pulver and Weiyu. .
Since Loofah's draft, the third division has been declining over the years. Especially less than a year ago, the domestic divisions had experienced changes in the Southern Territory and the Battle of Elpaxin. Even the Super Competitive League had experienced a series of events. Suspended till now.
Originally, people were already a little disappointed with the relevant competitions, but they did not expect that this mainland league would bring them an unexpected surprise.
However, after the second round of preliminaries comes to an end, there is still a certain amount of offseason before the Twin Towers Trial. All teams will give their players a holiday, and the Cowlin-Ithurian delegation is no exception.
And during this week-long vacation, Fang Pliance did not intend to spend it doing nothing.
The events that happened in the empire and the second world gave him more sense of urgency. After joining the special operations force sent by Su Changfeng, he sent away the imprisoned young man. Fang Plover also asked the Qihai Brigade's Others made their own decisions.
Taking advantage of this week's holiday, the Seven Seas Brigade will enter the southern border of the empire.
A group headed to the abandoned mining area on the border of Nozpitz.
And before that——
An unexpected parting came unexpectedly.
After the preliminaries, Miss Attila and the big cat man finally made up their minds to return to the Hill of Giant Trees with the people from the Shadow Tree Temple.
