Chapter 56: Will Mr. Ed Be With Me?
Seeing the two bipedal wyverns gradually fly away, Fang Yu cautiously walked out from the shade of the café.
"Are they looking for me...... He looked back uncertainly. Sylvid sat at a white round table sipping tea, while Shesta stood beside her—black tea from the mound of giant trees glistening in the midday sun in a white porcelain tea set.
Fang Yu hadn't recovered from the previous series of emergencies, as if he had been brought all the way to this place by the girl, and then he found that the world was full of people from the Silver Wind Knights looking for him. “…… But what is this, Miss Sylvide? ”
"Don't you know?" Sylvid put down her teacup, snow and white porcelain as she stood, Sesta pulling out her chair for her. "Your previous performance in the Continental League surprised everyone."
"Me, Continental League?" Fang Yu frowned and thought about it carefully, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted: "Damn, isn't it?" ”
Sylvid curled the corners of her mouth slightly, as if she had heard something very interesting, but asked pretending not to know, "What's wrong?" ”
"Those Ishurian dwarves, I was deceived by them!" Fang Yu was extremely annoyed. "I clearly said it, I went to participate in the craftsman assessment, how can they be like this, they didn't ask for my opinion at all!"
"That means you didn't plan to play that game?"
"How is this possible, I didn't even participate in the previous round, these damn dwarves are cheating!"
Sylvide smiled. "Dwarves have always been cunning, but this cunning is hidden in their nature, and they are actually very reckless, sometimes even too reckless."
"This is not only reckless, it is simply unreasonable, they have been calculating me from the beginning!" Fang Yu finally reacted.
He didn't know what to say, and if Arquette was in front of him at this moment, he would have punched the old dwarf in the face. He finally understood now why the Silverwind Knights had come to him, the Knights had always had close business dealings with the Kaulin Business Alliance, and the Kaulin Business Alliance was the most important collaborator of the Chinese government in the Yunzhihai region, so it was self-evident why they came.
It must have been his stowaway's affair!
"Isn't it good to be famous, especially for you?" Sylvide's eyes wandered, and she studied the boy carefully.
"Well, probably, but I'm a little special." Fang Yu didn't know how to answer, and in the end, a thousand words could only turn into a long sigh, if only he wasn't a stowaway. However, it has never been his habit to feel sorry for himself when he encounters difficulties, and his habit since he was a child is to take a step to see when he dies - what if the willows and flowers are bright and another village?
Although a certain annoying little girl often despises him for being a barbarian, he is stunned.
Thinking of this, Fang Yu calmed down a little and thanked Sylvide: "Thank you so much, Miss Sylvide, you really did me a great favor this time, I don't even know how to thank you." ”
"Then we're even, Mr. Ed," Sylvid playfully blinked her clear blue eyes, "but aren't you curious, why do I know about you?" ”
yes, how would she know? Fang Yu was stunned, he really hadn't thought about this question, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt suspicious. "By the way, Miss Sylvide, how did you know that the Silverwind Knights would be there?"
Sylvide couldn't help but smile. "Because I've seen your videos, that's what you call these kinds of video recordings, right?"
"Video?"
"It's the first one."
Fang Yu thought for a while before remembering which one was the first video about himself, and couldn't help but be startled: "That...... So, that video, which means you recognized me in the Dragon Horn Hall? ”
"Not really," Sylved shook her head, "Didn't Mr. Ed wear a mask at the time, but I recognized you later when you were unconscious." ”
That was a few days ago, and Fang Yu naturally remembered it. But he still didn't understand: "But ......"
Sylvid looked at him with interest and added to him, "But why did I know those people were eyeing you, right?" ”
Fang Yu nodded slowly.
"Mr. Ed is a stowaway—that's what you guys call people like you?"
Fang Yu was even more startled, and looked at the girl dumbfounded. Sylvede looked nonchalant and smiled shallowly: "Don't lie to me, I know your laws very well, and after opening the tourist passage, people like you are called illegal entrants, right?" ”
In the face of such a smart and clever girl who knew so much about the Suva Treaty, Fang Yu didn't know what to say for a while. He didn't know if he should tell her that Suva's statement was really just a part of the laws and regulations of the earth.
She seems to have some misunderstanding of the laws of the earth?
It's just that the girl's somewhat narrow and clear gaze made Fang Yu unable to say a word. And Sylvide's next words made his heart beat even more. "Mr. Ed's secrets, I think I know some of them too."
"Secret, secret?" Fang Yu couldn't help but think to himself, apart from the biggest secret of the stowaway, what other secrets would he have?
"You know," Sylvid winked at him again, a little mischievous, "Mr. Eddard got some kind of adventure in the Elven Ruins, let's say he got some ancient dragon soul." ”
Fang Yuan's mouth opened wide suddenly.
He looked at this somewhat cunning aristocratic girl who knew how to use her advantage as if she had lost the ability to think, and if she guessed that he was a stowaway, it could be said that the official leaked the news - but the latter matter, it was clearly a secret that only he and Miss Tata knew.
Fortunately, she just thought that what she had obtained was an ancient artificial dragon soul, not a zero-type holy crystal, otherwise Fang Yu really thought that she was also in that temple at that time and was not discovered by him, but even so, this still made him feel a little uneasy, and faintly felt that his privacy was being spied on.
"Mr. Ed used the power of that dragon soul to control Meimei, right?" Sylvid walked over, stood on tiptoe, and whispered to him, "Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut." ”
Her tone was light and soft, and her exhalation swept on Fang Yuan's earlobe, making him feel as if his heart had skipped a beat: "Hee, Miss Sylvede...... you?" ”
Sylvid took it back and looked at him with bright eyes, "So Mr. Eddard remembers what he said?" ”
"Huh?"
Sylvide smiled. "-It doesn't matter if you don't remember, if you want to see something, I'll take you somewhere."
"Wait, what are you looking at?"
Fang Yu was still a little puzzled, originally Sylvide was just an ordinary aristocratic girl in his opinion, but now there are more and more mysteries shrouded in it, which is unpredictable. The other party seems to know everything, by the way, she also knows Princess Brian-
He seemed to have just remembered such a thing, the other party and the elven princess seemed to be very familiar, Brianne Calanhill even entrusted her with help, but what is there that a legendary hero can help ordinary people with?
He had countless questions in his mind, but Sylvid only owed a debt and smiled at him as if she were invoking, and then staggered past him with her suitcase and walked out into the street.
Her maid followed, looking back at him at the same time.
The violet eyes were full of wariness, as if to warn him that it was better not to run away.
But how could Fang Yu escape, he still had a stomach full of doubts. He immediately followed, but Sylvede walked so fast, and the streets were full of people, but she was like a white deer that was not contaminated by the world, light and dexterous, shuttling between them.
Fang Yu chased after him, and almost bumped into pedestrians several times, causing a burst of unkind eyes, and he could only apologize again and again. But the master and the servant were in front of them calmly, strolling through the downtown - occasionally, the girl would stop and wait for him with a smile in front of her with the huge box in her hands.
But when Fang Ou was about to get closer, Sylvede would move on again, leaving him with only a playful back. The two of them, or the three of them, chased after each other, passing through the bustling main street, and the pedestrians on the street gradually became scarce, and Fang Yu found an opportunity to catch up.
He found Sylvid parked in an alley, in front of which was an arch built between two walls, and in front of him was the end of the block, and beyond the arch was a grassy grove.
"Miss Sylvide—"
Sylvid turned her head, put her index finger to her lips, and made a silent gesture to him. She pointed to the side, and Fang Yu realized that there was an elderly man sitting on a low stool, dozing off with his hands in his hands.
The old man wore a blue and white uniform, the uniform of the Elpahim Guards.
"Here?" Fang Yu couldn't help but ask with a mouth shape.
"The altar of Ameya," Sylved replied, gesturing in the direction of the woods. "The shrine is in the forest, and there is a very old white oak tree in it, and it is only open during the harvest festival and the spring festival."
"What are we doing here?" Fang Yu was a little surprised, the altar of Ameya was not a natural sanctuary, no wonder there was such a place like a park on this floating street.
However, this aristocratic girl was also too bold, this was the sanctuary of the goddess, a place that was forbidden in the eyes of the followers of Ameya, and she dared to sneak in.
Fang Yu couldn't help but think that Miss Attila knew about it, and she didn't know what would happen.
Sylvid looked at him and replied in the same vein, "We'll find out later—"
As she spoke, she quietly walked forward, but instead of going in the direction of the altar, she chose the other side. Fang Yu was a little worried, but he had no choice but to follow the master and servant.
Fortunately, the three of them did not alarm the old guard, and entered the woods. The woodland was silent, except for the occasional birdsong or two, and the sunlight passed through the canopy and fell slanting into the forest, dotted with golden markings, if there was substance.
Fang Yu seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat, and he faintly smelled a fragrant fragrance, and he didn't know if it was the smell of the forest or the faint fragrance of the girl.
At this time, Sylvid spoke in front of him, "Is Mr. Ed really Kapka's apprentice alchemist?" ”
Fang Yu blinked in confusion, does this question need to be asked as well? The girl looked back at him and understood her answer: "I see." ”
"What is so? Does it matter......? ”
"Of course it does." Sylvid gave him a deliberate look, smiled a little mysteriously, and turned back.
As the two talked, the light changed from dim to bright, and the front suddenly opened up, and Fang Yu realized that they had walked out of the woods. Outside, on the edge of a cliff, there was no longer any obstruction to the view—only the harbor of El Pakhin in the distance, and at the end of the land, the river sparkled like a white stream.
Further away is a slender headland, a line between the sky and the sea, and the clouds are like islands.
The breeze from the outer harbor blew in his face, causing his collar to stand upright, and on top of it were already four silver stars, representing his official status as an alchemist. He looked at Sylvid, and the girl was also holding back her long hair, her shawl flying, and her long gaze looking into the distance.
Fang Yu followed her gaze with some curiosity, only to find that there was a dock below, and there were many people gathered in the black on the dock, surrounding a brand-new sailboat in the dock. When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart: "Wait, this is the launching ceremony of the new ship?" ”
Sylvid nodded slightly. "Just right." She whispered.
Elpahim is the shipbuilding capital of Kaulin-Ishurian, and the dockyards are filled with orders almost day and night, but the construction period of a floating ship is extremely long, so the scene of a new ship being launched here is not seen every day.
Fang Yu couldn't help but hold his breath, a floating boat like this, that was exactly what he dreamed of. Even just a glance from a distance was enough to make him feel emotional, and he couldn't help himself.
As if to confirm the girl's words, the launching ceremony below had just begun, the boatmen lowered the sail ropes, opened the flanks, the boat let out a long horn, the buoyancy engine began to start, and the slender hull began to move slowly forward.
At that moment, someone threw a bottle full of white wine, which smashed into the bow of the ship, and the people around him let out a cheer.
At this time, the salute was fired in unison on the dock, and the salute was also raised into the sky. Colorful light bloomed and reflected on the faces of boys and girls at the edge of the trees.
Sylvid turned her head and looked at Fang Ou.
But Fang Yu didn't notice it, and looked at the scene in front of him with a daze. The new ship was beautiful, slender and graceful, with two masts and four wings – the flanks were at the back of the stern like a fish's tail and like the sails of an afloat ship, which not only increased speed but also helped to improve maneuverability.
He recognized it as a typical Talen-wing sailing ship, somewhat shaped like a Caravel sailboat, but a little more slender. It was supposed to be a small patrol ship, if it wasn't for the Kaurin-Ishurian order, but it must have been made to order by some of the expedition group.
Because only the adventuring group would use such a winged sailboat.
Fang Yu was extremely envious in his heart.
He watched from afar as the ship unfurled all its sails and slowly sailed into the empty sea, and then hoisted its flag, along with the large and small signal flags. The emblem on the mainsail was unrecognizable, but it wasn't the Ishurian navy—it was probably some obscure adventure group.
The ship was to undergo a week-long trial, an old custom for Aitalia, who watched in silence as it sailed out to sea without looking back until it turned into a black spot.
"I remember Mr. Ed's dream was to have his own float ship and go to the second world, right?" Sylvid then spoke, "I just so happened to know that a boat was going to be launched today, so I wanted to take Mr. Ed to take a look-"
Only then did Fang Yu react: "Miss Sylvide, did you take me to see this?" ”
"Is it pretty?" The girl asked.
Fang Yu looked at this beautiful girl, and there was a faint feeling of inexplicable emotion in her heart - she had always kept those words in her heart.
"It's beautiful," he said, looking a little wazed at the direction in which the ship had disappeared, and thought to himself how good it would be if he had such a boat himself. "By the way," Fang Yu turned around, "Miss Sylvede, how do you know about this place?" ”
Sylvede raised her hand to comb her sideburns and swept it behind her ears inadvertently, she looked at the sea from afar, her gaze was a little long, but she did not answer the question in the first place.
It was a long time before she replied, "When I was a child, my father brought me here once. ”
Fang Yu looked at Sylvid with his mouth wide open, both ashamed and moved in his heart. He had speculated more than once in the worst of his previous speculations whether this girl had taken advantage of his smuggler to blackmail him into doing something or joining an organization—but he never imagined that the other party's purpose was so simple.
This place must be important to her, right?
Fang Yu looked at Sylvide, and her heart was a little soft.
At the same time that he subconsciously looked at the girl, Sylvid was also looking at him, and the eyes of the two inadvertently touched, and they quickly looked away at the same time. Sylvid looked as usual, but Fang Yu blushed a little.
Then the girl said, "I still remember what Mr. Ed said that day, so does Mr. Ed remember what I said at that time?" ”
"Huh?" Fang Yu was dumbfounded.
He stared at Sylvid dumbfounded—he remembered a fart!
Sylvide looked at him curiously, and when she saw his cramped and uneasy appearance, she couldn't help but have a funny look in her eyes again. She smiled, but didn't mention the day's events, and instead asked, "Would Mr. Ed do me a favor?" ”
"What's the busy?" Fang Yu asked subconsciously.
Sylvid put down the suitcase and pressed her hand on the clasp of the suitcase.
"Build a boat."
"Wait, what did you just say to build one?"
