A cliff, like a zigzag boundary drawn on paper, clearly divides the world into two colors—on one side is a sea of gray-yellow sand, which is endless, and only in the direction of the port of Tansnir, there are hidden green stars, which are oases everywhere in the desert; On one side, the blue sky changes color from light to deep, and finally forms a deep blue sea, shimmering under the floating clouds.

This border line can be said to be the 'coastline' of Tansnir, although locals prefer to refer to it as the 'end of the land'.

Fang Plover and Parker were trekking along the twisting coastline at the moment. From the sky, the seven-man team looked more like a small gray dot on the edge of the desert.

The team includes Parker, Luo Yu, Box, Luo Hao, Alyssa, and Kita, and they can be said to be the main combat forces in the future of the Seven Seas Brigade, and because of the characteristics of the Drafters, they may eventually grow to surpass the Big Cat Man and Baggins, and become an important pillar that the team can rely on.

Baggins, the Big Cat Man, and Miss Attila each showed different attitudes towards this fact. The former did not react much, after all, the old sailor stayed on the ship, holding the position of boatswain, and for a fleet, there must be more than a call-up in the future, and it is his duty to manage the aboriginal sailors.

Fang Ou could also roughly guess that Mr. Baggins should have stayed at Sylvid's request, and the old boatswain had actually spoken more than once about what kind of leisurely life he would pursue after retirement, and showed such a yearning attitude.

But a faithful, reliable, experienced boatswain with a long sailing experience, of course, he wanted the other party to stay.

The Big Cat Man and Miss Ettila reacted a little strangely, and neither of them made much comment. And the big cat man only privately asked him to cultivate more 'own people', and his statement is a bit suspicious, which roughly means that the young eagle also has a day to leave the nest and so on.

This made Fang Yu suspicious and suspicious for a long time since he left Idus and went south.

But fortunately, after they arrived in Tansnir, the big cat and Miss Atira seemed to have forgotten about it, and the 'mastermind' seemed to have a new clue, which gradually made him settle down.

In fact, Miss Attila is very popular in the team, and according to Sky Blue, if it weren't for Miss Elf, there would have been some fools in the team who would have died of food poisoning during the journey. This statement is an exaggeration, but it is not unreasonable.

After all, everyone is young, except for Kita, who is still careful, everyone else always has some problems. And the two most stable people in the team, whether it is the Lion Paladin or Miss Elf, both play the role of Fixing the Sea God Needle.

If there are no two people to check it, others may forget something as important as drinking water in the procurement of substances.

However, Fang Yu didn't know if he was delusional, the big cat people had gradually reduced the number of times they acted with them recently, especially these days, it was basically him, Luo Yu, Parker, Box and Luo Hao's five-person team running around.

As for Shesta, the maid lady said she didn't give a damn about it.

In fact, the only person in the team who can draw with Miss Maid at this moment is Fang Gugu.

In the second echelon of the team, there are Tianlan, Ai Xiaoxiao and Tang Xin, as well as the forest and others, among which Tianlan has been in the team for the longest time, but the time to become a caller is short, and the level is much lower than Luo Hao, and as a poet, he can only be regarded as half of his combat effectiveness.

As for Tang Xin and Ai Xiaoxiao, Fang Yu didn't know what level his cousin was at, Ai Xiaoxiao fainted, which was basically a waste, but looking at her excited appearance, Fang Yu was embarrassed to hit this little girl.

And although they experienced the battle of Idus, the two of them basically didn't have much experience, and their level was basically at the level before and after they left the Traveler's Rest.

Among the people in the forest, in addition to the forest, there are one or two good seedlings, and after Fang Yu asked, he found out that the forest, Wumian and several other people were actually members of the youth training camp of the guild they belonged to, and they were qualified to enter the brigade in the future.

Although it was only a brigade of the small guild, it still gave Fang Yu a feeling that he had picked it up.

However, at present, these people are basically still above the newcomer level, and the senior stage has not yet arrived, and he will only consider taking these people for training when he is expected to be relatively safe in battles and missions. What's more, Lin Lin and the others were originally going to form the second regiment, and they would be separated from their main regiment when the time came.

At this moment, Alyssa was walking lightly on the gravel, almost elegantly compared to the stumbling behind her, one foot deep and one shallow.

She occasionally looked back and couldn't help but smile, "Do you need help?" ”

Everyone shook their heads speechlessly.

As the only shadow dancer on the team, Miss Nightingale has a C- rating for agility, which is almost higher than Fang Yuan's intelligence, and it is not worth mentioning to her that she can walk on the sand dunes at all, and maybe she can walk a few steps on the quicksand.

The second echelon of agility in the team was Parker and the chest, but the Paparal man was dragged down by the giant crossbow behind his back, almost like a big hand, pressing him into the sand, and he was miserable.

The box is dressed in a robe, and without relying on magic, it can't be used even if it has agility.

As for others, not to mention.

Luo Hao almost sank both of his knees into the sand-

As she walked, Alyssa landed side by side with Fang Yu without a trace, and said, "Captain, is there really such a ten kings?" ”

Fang Yu nodded: "His name is mainloop, a European player, not a full-time recruiter, it is said that he was originally a programmer - he only entered the star gate for the first time at the age of twenty-four, but in his time, such a person was actually the mainstream of the pioneers." ”

"Ancient times?"

"Yes."

"No wonder I haven't heard of it," Alyssa glanced at him with some curiosity, "The head of the regiment even knows this?" But the profession back then was very different from now, right? ”

"That's true," Fang Yu didn't deny it, after all, the career design of the caller has also improved with the development of super competition. But it is undeniable that there will always be some special existences in this, and this 'king of thieves' named mainloop is one of them.

"The era in which he is located is actually not particularly long, it was the end of the era of the forerunners, and the commercialization of super sports has been formed, and as a generation of ten kings, he caught up with the first train of super sports."

"What exactly is his profession?"

"Have you ever heard of the Prop Faction's Wanderers?"

Alyssa's eyes lit up slightly: "Dossier thief? ”

The dossier thief she is talking about is a very special branch of the secret thief, the secret thief is a series of nightingales who also practice spells, but there are also nightingales who also practice alchemy, which is the dossier thief who uses various alchemy props and magic scrolls to fight.

The combat effectiveness of this type of nightingale is not high, but there is only one drawback.

That's a common flaw for alchemists.

Burn money.

But Fang Yu shook his head solemnly, the current situation of the Seven Seas Brigade's money burning, and another file thief, I am afraid that it will go bankrupt in an instant.

He replied in a low voice, "Master of Traps." ”

Alyssa couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this.

……

After walking with everyone for a while, Fang Yu stopped.

He looked at Miss Nightingale on the side, and saw that the latter was still muttering, and did not continue—after all, career planning was a 'life event' in Aitalia, and he could only make suggestions.

However, the 'Trap Master', an ancient class that people have long forgotten, is actually really suitable for their team.

He looked up again and saw that the scenery around him had not changed much, the only scenery in the desert was undulating sand dunes, which was novel at first, but after looking at it for a long time, it only made people feel the same boring. Looking back, the port of Tansnil had almost disappeared below the horizon - but that was just an illusion, they had only been walking half a day from the city, and it was impossible for them to go this long way.

Fang Yu knew that the gray-yellow port was just hiding under the sand and gravel in the sky.

He then took out the communication crystal and asked, "Sylvid, can you see us?" ”

Soon there was a rustling voice in the crystal: "You are directly north of me, Captain. ”

Fang Yu looked to the south, and there was a bright reflection in the desert, which should be the reflection of the monoculars lens, and it should be the ship's master lady who deliberately removed the mask and let them see it.

Since Xie Sita, Tang Xin, and Ai Xiaoxiao were all in that direction, he didn't have to worry about the safety of Miss Ship Officer, so he only asked again, "Are we in the right direction?" ”

"You shouldn't be wrong."

The reason why they are here has to start from not long ago-

He had just received news from Sylvid that Achilles had asked them to go to Princess Celestia's 'villa'.

However, he did not leave immediately, but gathered the people first, and then made some arrangements - after all, he had already sensed that the mystical sorcerers were searching for traces of the 'demon' - and what was a demon? Nothing more than depraved and twisted creatures.

At least in Tansnir, the only thing he could connect with at the moment was the alchemical beings of the blood sacrifice of the Blind Followers.

Although he didn't know what the mysticists' intentions were, he certainly wouldn't give up on this important clue that he had stumbled upon. Therefore, on the one hand, he took Sylvid to Princess Celestia's 'villa', and on the other hand, he divided Parker and the others into two sides.

On the one hand, it was to ask Luo Yu and Luo Hao to go to the Craftsman Association to see if those secret warlocks had left that place.

On the other side, Parker and the box blocked the door to the 'Revealing Eye', after all, it was the headquarters of the mystics, and they could find out if the other party moved.

After all, after two searches, these mystical sorcerers would definitely only have more information than him. And on the day they left for the Sands, it seemed that they had already begun to intervene in the incident, and perhaps they had met with the slave traders that day.

After all, the direction on the scan map is only a general range, and basically cannot be used directly. Therefore, Fang Yu has a simple way, that is, follow these secret warlocks, maybe there will be twice the result with half the effort

With this in mind, he actually sent everyone out with the idea of trying it out.

But I didn't expect it to work.

After they said goodbye to Arvan and left, a message came from Sky Blue and Ai Xiaoxiao, who had stayed in the shipyard - the Mystic had left the Tansnir Craftsmen Guild.

And in a moment, the Paparral and the box also sent a message:

The Revealed Eyes headquarters took action, and a group of mystical sorcerers left the Lighthouse in the Clouds and headed north out of the harbor, deep into the desert.

And this direction is exactly the direction that Fang Yu knew from the scan map not long ago.

Therefore, he immediately realized that those mystical sorcerers might have made a discovery, and that was why they were here at this moment.

However, as a profession that is proficient in foreknowledge spells, the Eye of Revelation's mystic warlock is not so easy to track down - among the three types of detection methods of Aitalia, the foreknowledge spell is the widest detection distance, and the foreknowledge spell with more than ten rings can even detect things thousands of kilometers away.

Of course, the mystical sorcerers they were tracking might not be that exaggerated. But within a few miles, if the other party notices, it is still enough to make them have nothing to hide.

After all, the two major drawbacks of spell probing are that they are not flexible enough and they are not detailed, but these two shortcomings have little effect in a desert environment. Put a probing eye in the sky, and they will be as conspicuous as ants on a smooth concrete floor.

Therefore, Fang Yu did not follow recklessly.

His plan was to determine the general location of the opponent first, and then use the 'Wasp-I' to track the opponent's position from a distance. After the Clockwork Fairy II was upgraded to 'Wasp-I', due to the enlargement of the volume of the main control crystal, the magic effect was naturally further enhanced, and the controllable range was expanded by about 50%, and the limit distance was extended to seven or eight thousand meters away.

At this distance, even if the other party spotted the clockwork fairies, it would be difficult to detect their location.

It's just that the bad thing is like it is now-

In the desert environment, the use of normal flexible builds is greatly limited, and although the Clockwork Elf II has been upgraded to 'Wasp-I', it will still go into the sand.

The results are predictable.

Fang Yu put down the communication crystal and took a few steps forward, before finally finding his silver clockwork fairy under a sand dune with the help of the reflection. He bent down and picked it up from the sand and patted it, yellow sand cascading out of the structure like a waterfall.

He shook the thing and couldn't help sighing, although this new toy is not scrapped, but if you don't clean it carefully, you still don't want to fly in a short time.

It's no wonder that a school of magic construction was born in this part of Istania, where mechanical construction is not available at all.

Fortunately, it was only the mechanical part that went wrong, but the vision crystal could still be contacted, otherwise it would be difficult for him to find it back in the vast sea of sand.

He might have cried if he scrapped a construct that had just been upgraded at a great cost.

Fang Plover put the mechanically stuck 'Wasp-I' information into the crystal, and then looked up at the surroundings, since there was only one 'Wasp-I' sent out, so after it fell, it was natural that they had lost their target.

However, what made him feel a little strange was that even if they lost their target at that time, they caught up all the way, in this vast sea of sand, how could the other party suddenly disappear?

It's close to the coastline and has a wide view, so theoretically, they won't lose the time they have lost.

He couldn't help but pick up the crystal again and asked, "Sylvid, have you seen those mystics?" ”

"I can't see anything in this direction."

Fang Yu couldn't help frowning.

At this time, Alyssa seemed to come back to her senses, and she heard the conversation in the communication crystal, and she couldn't help but take a few steps forward to the edge of the cliff not far away.

She crouched down and brushed her hand on the ground a few times, revealing a solid rocky surface under a shallow layer of sand - she looked ahead again, suddenly realized something, and glanced down. Then she straightened up, turned back and asked:

"Will they go down there?"

"Below?"

A thought suddenly flashed in Fang Yu's heart.

He immediately picked up the communication crystal, changed the communication number and asked, "Forest, have you found out what secret places are there northwest of Tansnir?" ”

Before they came to this place, of course, they had considered that there might be a situation where they might be lost, so they made two preparations. The Mystics were just one of them, but if he missed it, he left a team on the other side of the platform to find a way to narrow down the scan to find out where the Mystics were going.

While the likelihood of finding a useful clue in a short period of time is low, it can at least be used as an auxiliary means to keep them from being helpless in such a situation.

Unexpectedly, this insurance-like measure really came in handy at this time.

And only for a moment, a blue voice came from within the crystal: "Brother Ed, there is no such place on the map, and there is only a section of coastline north of Tansnir without a name. Mr. Abed sent a map for the interior of the royal family, but there was nothing to do—"

"Ah, wait, there is ......"

Her voice suddenly turned into a cry of surprise: "Just now the forest found a volume of literature that says there is a smuggling port northwest of Tansnir, but Mr. Abed tells us that it was cleaned up once by Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess, and now only ...... remain"

"What's left?"

“…… Wait, the big cat is asking...... By the way, Her Royal Highness the princess has dismantled the improvised port facilities there, but there is still a natural anchorage somewhere. ”

"Where?" Fang Yu immediately asked again.

"It's a very secret place, I can't describe it, but it's about under that cliff, three or four hundred meters above the ground."

Sky Blue stopped suddenly.

But after a while, she added, "Mr. Abed also said that there is a path that leads down there, Brother Ed, look carefully." ”

"Then thank you to Mr. Abed for me."

Fang Yu said a word, and then extinguished the communication crystal.

He looked up at the sharpened cliff in front of him, and couldn't help but take a few steps forward to Miss Nightingale's side.

The others followed, and the Paparals looked down, and couldn't help but look like they had seen a ghost: "We're not going down from here, are we?" You really think those mystics can climb down, it's not one or two people......"

"Of course they didn't climb down from here," replied Alyssa, turning back, "there might be a way down here, and that's probably why they would have suddenly disappeared from our sight." ”

Fang Yu nodded, agreeing with this point of view.

But it's not an easy task.

The coastline of Kukai is not like slicing butter, cut straight down, the cliffs are as smooth as a mirror, and you can see what is underneath at a glance. In fact, this twisted coastline, after thousands of years of wind erosion, itself presents an incomparably complex landscape.

Cliffs descending 100 meters often form layers of erosion structures, and within these layers of erosion structures will form landforms similar to the coastline on Earth - fjords, headlands and even shallows, but the difference is that it is three-dimensional.

It's more like a sprawling labyrinth.

This terrain is in the gray rocks of the northern Kaulin-Ihurion, but in this desert area, it is even more complicated.

It was not easy to find something out of this labyrinth in a short period of time.

And what made Fang Yu even more headache was that if he wanted to release 'Wasp-I' here, there might be a risk of loss. If they fall into the sand, they can still be recovered, but if they fall into the empty sea, they will have to go down to the deep sea to salvage?

And just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from below.

Then, in full view of everyone, a bare head emerged from the bottom of the cliff.

After the bald head climbed up from below, he obviously didn't expect that there were still people on the cliff, and he couldn't help but look at everyone with wide eyes for a while. However, when his gaze fell on Fang Yuan, his eyes couldn't help but widen:

"Holy?!"

"Dragon Slayer?"

……
