"Mr. Knight is thinking about Miss Atira?"

Tata sat on a fluffy pillow and asked quietly as he watched the cold moonlight shine through the sea of clouds and portholes on the wooden planks.

Fang Yu nodded: "Miss Attila's mood looks very low. ”

The huge hammock swayed slightly as the Berio sailed through the clouds.

The wind is whistling outside the window, and occasionally a small hanging island can be seen between the clouds and mountains, flashing in the field of vision.

The dark horizon seemed to flow into a pale blue hue, and the dawn was rising below the horizon, but the sky was still dotted with stars, twinkling and twinkling.

The ancient constellations of names and names tell stories from before this era, like gods and peoples, hunters and beasts, heroes and beauties, and wars of antiquity.

The Golden Star is rising, the last star at the end of the long summer, and then everything is depressed, just waiting for winter to come.

Above the sea of clouds, the stars were all over the four fields, the sea and the sky were mixed into one color, and the mist condensed under the clouds, and the starlight was reflected in the dark and gloomy distance.

Some are the lights winding on the ground, cities, villages, and ports, possibly on an island above the route where the Berio does not dock.

The boat rocked gently and slowly, as if sailing forward in a dreamland.

But beneath the calm is unease.

Every quarter of an hour, there was a rhythmic clicking sound in the communication tubes, which was the sailors communicating with their specific codes, and the sound was heard throughout the Berio, more frequently than usual.

A storm is converging on the northern course, and the barometer predicts it will be a few hours away.

The same goes for the swifts that pass through the sea of clouds.

The elves of the north of Kaulin call these little creatures the Wind Heralders, and they often bring a torrential rain and wind that washes the land.

Fang Ou's dizziness lessened a little after midnight, and the elven princess's mother, an old elven woman who described the withered tree as like the bark of a tree, used the sap of a rare leaf mixed with the liquid of belladonna and dripped it on the tip of his nose, which stimulated him to almost spasm.

After that, Brianne let him drink some soothing black goat's milk, something that sounded like witchcraft, and he barely slept for two or three hours, and then woke up in the midst of natural jolts.

He was not sleepy at the moment, and his eyes were brightly refracted by the starlight outside the window.

I quietly recalled the previous events in my mind, and after a while I replied:

"No one wants their relatives to be involved in a great conspiracy, her brother who embarked on a journey from Sanshak, the hill of the giant tree, and finally died in a foreign land, and his soul was scattered, and it was the one who spread all these rumors behind the scenes that caused this tragedy."

"My parents were also killed in an accident, and although it wasn't man-made, I can understand how she felt."

"This feeling is a little sour, and a little lonely, as if all the past is sealed in a yellowed photograph that can only be touched by memories," Tata shook his head lightly: "It's a pity that I can't experience this feeling." ”

She straightened up and put her tiny hand over Fang Ou's eyelids.

Fang Yu was a little surprised, but he was afraid of hurting her, so he closed his eyes and remained motionless.

He heard Miss Fairy's soft voice in the darkness: "It is often rumored in the world that the palms of elves have the power to soothe people's hearts, although I am not a real goblin, and I don't know if the rumors are true or not, but Mr. Knight feels at peace?" ”

Fang Yuan felt the touch of the soft and thin feather, and his heart seemed to be really at peace, the things he had done when he was a child had long been forgotten, and he only remembered the warm care of his uncle's family.

The eyelids were itchy, slightly warm, the warmth of Miss Fairy's palms.

"Thank you, Miss Tata."

"You're welcome, Mr. Knight."

The net of the hammock swayed slowly and rhythmically.

There was a silent silence in the cabin, like a story from many fairy tales, which suddenly came to Fang Yu's heart. He remembered those bedside stories his aunt had told him and his sister when he was a child.

Like at this moment.

After a long, long time, Miss Fairy whispered:

"Actually, I have something I want to tell Mr. Knight."

"Hmm."

"Did Mr. Knight notice, at that time, in fact, the noble lady's expression was a little unnatural."

"Miss Sylvide, you say? Do you think she has anything to do with it? Fang Yu rolled over and asked, "Speaking of which, she and Princess Brian seem to be very concerned about the Lady of Bravery. ”

"Perhaps you can ask her," Fang Yu was a little frustrated, "but she may not tell me anything, can you see what kind of person she is, Miss Tata?" Miss Sylvede has always been a little puzzled by me. ”

"I can only sense that she has some curiosity and affection for you, and you do the same for her, Mr. Knight—but with some annoyance, because you think you're too clumsy in front of the other person."

"You're right," Fang Yu nodded, "Miss Sylvide is very good in my opinion, but she is also like a fan. ”

"Don't worry," Tata looked up at him, "curiosity is the beginning of animals approaching each other, they will sniff each other's body odors, and test each other further until they are sure that each other is safe and harmless." ”

Fang Yu couldn't help laughing: "Your analogy is a little inappropriate, people are not animals. ”

"But humans also have animal nature."

"Well, you're right." Fang Yu nodded, feeling a lot more relaxed.

"Actually, I feel that Miss Sylvede has a lot to do with this matter, she and Princess Brianne are the same kind of people, they are not easily stumped by difficulties, but a frown can reveal a lot of information."

"Do you know, Miss Tata," Fang Yu looked at the sea of clouds outside the window, "I have a hunch in my heart that maybe we will encounter a lot of things on this trip. ”

"Your hunch is often accurate, Mr. Knight."

"Do you feel that way?"

Miss Leprechaun nodded slightly.

Fang Yu suddenly got up from the net bed, found the wind lamp in the faint light, unscrewed the switch to light the flame, and a golden light lit up from under the grid glass, reflecting on Tata's small and delicate face.

A warm orange light rose from the room.

At the head of the bed not far away, there are square plover's kingfisher αAE type magic furnaces, which exude a yellow and clear reflection on the outside. Its shell was opened, and the main crystal was pumped out, soaked in a jar of pale blue liquid.

The magic of the Silver-blazing Forest's eyeballs stretched out, covering the crystal like a neural network.

The Silver-Blazing Forest is a very strange creature, it looks like a silver cedar, and its surface is covered with mercury-like eyeballs, but it runs a bit like a pegasus wrapped in silver flames, and it is so fast that few things in this world can catch up.

It is extremely sensitive to magic, each eyeball is a separate magic sensor, and its network of magic is extremely special, but it is just right for the crystal to have the ability to sense the aether.

Fang Yu looked at that set of things, and suddenly had an inspiration in his heart.

Prior to this, he had experienced many failures in the construction of this small device, the Mana Sensor.

Although failure was necessary, he did not expect that he would succeed on this long road of exploration, but at this moment he suddenly had a throbbing, as if his mind was awakened, blessed to his soul, and a little light suddenly illuminated the darkness of the future.

It was an idea he had never thought of.

He pulled out a sliced chip soaked in a magical solution—there wasn't much left, and if he couldn't find the right direction in just a few experiments, he might have to look for another Silver-Blazing Eyeball.

Although after an adventure, the team's funds no longer seem so stretched.

But lost time cannot be recovered.

The reticulated ether theory holds that every point on the network of mana can feel the flow of mana – increasing or decreasing, because any point on the net will tend to the center of mana's enrichment.

Fang Yu realized that this theory seemed to coincide with the magical network of the Silver Blazing Forest.

His idea was to no longer use the direction of the socket of the main crystal to dictate the flow of mana, as is the case with the orthodox use of core crystals. Instead, make something similar to a gyroscope, and use the direction of mana flow to specify the direction of the main crystal's output.

As long as the Resonance Crystal is always at the point of mana enrichment, ensuring that it is at the low point of the mana network, the effectiveness of the mana flow can be guaranteed.

This even has the advantage of not having to bother maintaining the direction of the flow of mana, which in the network theory will automatically flow to the lower point.

Although it may still have many problems, it has undoubtedly opened a new door for Fang Yu.

He only tried three times, the first time he accidentally broke the crystal tablet, and the second time he made a slight mistake in the configuration of the mana solution.

But for the third time.

He achieved the long-awaited success.

At this moment, it was dark outside the window, and it was dark and gloomy, as if it had suddenly returned to midnight from the early hours of the morning. Only the heat in the house condenses on the glass when it is cold, forming a faint layer of frost.

Fang Yu looked at the thin frost for a moment.

only to breathe a sigh of relief.

He looked at the small orb in his hand, the result of his work for several nights on end, it still looked a little rudimentary, but it already symbolized an unknown future.

This little thing can be said to be the best mana sensor of this era, it can effectively detect and divert mana, and help the accelerator filter the elemental attributes in the mana.

This is the first step in the non-attribute crystal.

β the prototype of crystal.

But it was already the most difficult hurdle to cross, and it turned out that Hain-Sailm's vision was correct, at least until this step.

Fang Yu held that thing, and there was a faint excitement in his heart.

He knew that the other materials were ready-made, and Parfitos's accelerator was one of the most mature accelerators of this era, and there was also a magic cycle device, which didn't need him to bother.

Once this line is crossed, the next generation of crystals is already within reach.

He took out a box and carefully placed the metal ball in it, wrapping it in cotton filling and flannel.

The final configuration of a crystal requires an extremely stable environment, which is certainly not possible on a ship, but Princess Brian has said that the storm is coming, and he may have a long time to carry out his final experiments in an anchorage in the northern part of Fenris Island.

He closed the box, buckled the metal clasp, and turned back to meet Miss Elf for a moment.

Both of them looked at each other for a moment.

It was a long time before Miss Fairy spoke:

"Congratulations, Mr. Knight, you made it."

"That's just the first step."

"The first and most important step."

Fang Yu did not deny this, and only nodded slightly. He pressed the wooden box with his hand, feeling the cold touch of his palm, and that feeling gave him a sense of solidity.

It seems that no matter how many difficulties he encounters next, he will not be able to feel afraid.

Because he had taken the most solid step, the shackles of the smugglers on his body seemed to crumble with a devastating crack.

He knows.

No one could stop him from doing the rest.

Fang Yu put the box away, and then silently picked up a book, and under his gaze, the title page of the book was wrapped in thick cowhide with gold trim on it.

The people of Cowling wrote on it one of its most well-known names in archaic script, "The Theory of Medium-Sized Flexible Construction".

This is the first step for the Battle Craftsman to embark on the Pseudo-Dragon Knight.

After reaching level ten, this class really begins to step on the stage that belongs only to them, and has amazing combat power. Although Fang Yu had used all kinds of fancy means before this, he had barely solved a lot of troubles by relying on unexpected battles.

But at this moment, the door of this artisan world was truly opened to him, and after that, it was Wu Di, Red Leaves, and Liuliyue's world.

He was finally no longer the frail little apprentice alchemist.

The door was so close to him.

After Dorifin's adventure, the experience of fighting and seeing and hearing had both reached an astonishing height, and Fang Plover had already estimated it more than once. If he uses them all, it's enough to give him half the experience of level eight.

It's almost a three-level whole.

It's ten levels, but it's only one and a half levels. After that, the Alchemists will change the Furnace Core Crystal, and the β Crystal is enough to allow the Furnace to use Ability Modules and Auxiliary Interfaces while maintaining a flexible build.

Not to mention the higher mana output, which allows the Combat Craftsman to start using more advanced second-order flexible builds such as the Shield Defender, Dreadnought, and Annihilator, and when added to the Combat Power, the increase in combat power is not just a notch.

And some of the tactics he had envisioned could finally be put on the table—as a teenager who made coming to this world a dream, Fang Yu naturally had a plan in his heart about what kind of path he would take on the road of a combat craftsman.

Therefore, the experience he has now has actually decided where he should go a long time ago.

Fang Yu gently placed the book on the table.

He looked up.

The frost on the bed was melting, and beyond the porthole, a red sun was leaping out of the sea of clouds.

On the wooden table, the flame of the candle flickered a few times before being extinguished as the last wisp of the candle burned out, leaving only melted wax.

In the light of day, it solidified into a strange shape.
