The daytime battle didn't cause much of a stir within the Seven Seas Brigade either.

It's probably because the head of his own regiment is too capable of causing trouble, and everyone is used to it.

Compared to the situation of the conspiracy of the Dragon Witch or the Dragon Cult that is often involved, it seems that such a thing as a fight in a hostel is indeed a child.

Only Attila seemed slightly worried.

Inside the inn where everyone stayed—

Under a beam of orange light, Miss Elf was carefully turning Fang Yuan's face sideways at this moment. There was light in her emerald green eyes, as if there was a faint halo of light inside.

This made Fang Yu a little embarrassed, he always felt like a big child, and said with a red face, "...... Actually, I'm fine, Miss Attila......"

Hilvede, carrying a bunch of crystal clear grapes in her hand, watched this scene with some amusement: "The captain has always been lucky, but he likes to cause trouble too much. ”

Attila turned around and said, "Sylvid, you should take care of him. ”

But Sylvid smiled and replied, "Then I can't control him." ”

Karatu sat on the couch next to him, facing the lich with his calf bones cocked. He threw a few pieces of parchment on the low table and said:

"Looks right, those people weren't lying.

The major guilds of Kaurin Ihurian have stepped up their orders, even the shipyards on Tansnir's side. The dry dock was full of construction schedules and full of people.

As a result, there are not many boatmen who are willing to go south with us. It's the same even if it's two or three times as high. ”

Fang Ou had learned these facts from Sylvide.

"What about more?" He asked.

"It's not about the money," Karatu said, putting his hand on the stack of papers, "but the locals don't trust us."

When there is no need to worry about livelihood, few people are willing to take risks, so that even if they recruit workers, they will either fish in troubled waters or outlaws.

Come to think of it, none of this is what you need. ”

Tianlan also said: "Brother Ed really doesn't treat money as money." ”

After that incident during the day, she reconciled with Luo Yuyan—for the time being, at least until the next time she met Afifa.

She calculated:

"Assuming that dozens of workers are required to build the Seven Seas Traveler, and it is expected to be completed in March to April, we will be able to pay three times as much."

Fang Yu was surprised: "Are we so poor? ”

Attila let go of her hand and nodded to him.

Fang Yu looked at the others, and everyone had a pensive look on their faces, but only the Paparal people's eyes were rolling. When he saw it, he suddenly became suspicious and asked, "Parker, what are you thinking?" ”

Parker didn't expect him to suddenly notice himself, and jumped up from the couch in fright.

The little fat man waved his hand again and again, and said in surprise: "What!? Don't wronged me, the Paparals are innocent, they don't think about anything-"

But the big cat man walked over, grabbed the fellow by the calf, lifted him upside down, and with a flick of his hand, a fiery red gem rolled out of the Paparal man and fell to the ground.

There was silence in the room.

Everyone stared at the ruby on the ground in amazement.

Fang Yu was even more familiar with the gem, and if he looked closely, wasn't it the heart of the flame of the Sand Journey? His eyes widened, and he roared, "Parker——! ”

The big cat man is throwing the Paparal back on the couch.

When the latter heard this roar, he shrank his neck in fright, and screamed behind the sofa: "Don't get me wrong, this is an imitation!" ”

"No wonder you're missing halfway through the battle!" Fang Yu said angrily: "It turns out that we are fighting, you are good, run to steal something!" ”

Aggrieved, Parker poked his head out from behind the couch and retorted, "If you don't say it, no one will know, they'll just think that the alchemist stole it." ”

"Didn't you just say it's a fake?"

"Doom ......"

The big cat man walked over and picked up the gem a little amusedly, and said to the latter, "You have a good idea." ”

Ai Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing.

She explained, "Parker, you can't do this thing at all, and you have to be recognized as soon as you do." ”

"Isn't there a black market here?"

"You're still thinking about the black market, so you planned it a long time ago!?"

"No, no, that's all...... This thing, in fact, was my accident...... Well, picked up. That's right, that's right, I'm just keeping it for now. ”

Ai Xiaoxiao grinned: "As far as I know, behind the black market of Kaulin-Ihurion, there are also nobles from all over the world acting as backers. Istania is a bit more closed than the kingdom of Kaurenn, and it may not be possible that the eldest princess is the largest shareholder in the black market. ”

Parker was dumbfounded.

Fang Yu took the gem from the big cat man, and couldn't help but feel a little tricky.

But Attila looked calm.

"It's not a big deal," replied Miss Elf, "just return it to its original owner." ”

Fang Yu nodded, it seemed that they should meet the eldest princess.

Early the next morning, the middle-aged craftsman sent someone to tell them that the artisan association had made arrangements and was waiting for them to come at any time.

The enthusiasm shown by the other party made Fang Yu a little surprised, and even seemed a little almost courteous. He therefore asked Sylvid if this was the usual hospitality of the desert people.

Sylvid smiled back at him, "What does the captain think?" ”

Fang Yu thought for a while, and was a little mentally prepared for the next meeting. It seems that the eldest princess may not be as simple as thanking them when she sees them.

But he sent the messenger back. Sylvede had little time to rest to-day, and he stayed at the inn all morning with him.

The two discussed the Seven Seas Traveler, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Now it's not just her father's ship, it's his ship, and it's the boat of everyone on the team. From its original and simple purpose, to today, it has become a certain thing that carries everyone's dreams.

Sky Blue had always wanted to have an organ on the ship, the kind that was painted with gold, and as soon as it was played, it could leave a light and beautiful note.

They will follow the direction of the ship's sails, which the sailors call the wind path.

The anchor chamber is also available in several sizes.

The carpentry workshop should choose what genre corresponds to and what bonuses it provides.

The carpentry of Tollevo City, which is close to craftsmen, or the skills of Aquin, which is close to nature, also have their own merits.

Now the carpentry is part-time by Luo Yu, and he is taking Pasha to learn related skills, and the carpentry skills are also an indispensable part of the young man's learning alchemy.

Attila also taught him some elven skills.

This little boy has some talent in this area.

So much so that the core lift cabin of the ship should choose that specification of Guy crystal. The higher the specification, the better the quality, and some such as the White Gorge Crystal and the Gold Crystal from Bayerno can also provide some special bonuses.

But the price is correspondingly higher -

Every aspect needs to be measured.

There's also the reserved sail slots, what kind of sail outfits they need, what speed they want the boat to achieve – and striking a balance between speed, maneuverability and seaworthiness.

Different types of sails also require different masts to match, which comes back to the issue of cost.

However, just the discussion also made Fang Yu feel interested.

There seemed to be an endless common language between him and Sylvid. Although most of the time, Miss Noble is when a quiet listener.

Always with that kind of quiet, shallow smile.

The two enjoyed lunch in the lobby, which attracted countless eyes.

After all, Fang Yu had just been certified to a new rank by the Tansnir Craftsman Guild, and it was rare for such a young third-order Venus craftsman to be seen.

Even among the Elect—

And the aristocratic lady is also amazingly beautiful, and her inherited and independent temperament is even more eye-catching.

So much so that now Fang Yu thinks that his first gaze in the traveler's rest is precisely attracted by the temperament of the noble lady.

When the two of them appear together, it is inevitable that they will be eye-catching.

After the meal, the two got into a rented carriage and headed for the Artisan Association.

In the morning, he stayed with her, and in the afternoon, the nobleman's daughter also expressed her willingness to accompany him.

This made Fang Yu a little happy.

The two arrived at the Tansnir Artisan Guild, and the middle-aged craftsman was slightly surprised when he saw Sylvede, but still praised politely and decently:

"Mr. Ed, it looks like you have a pretty beautiful female companion."

The middle-aged man smiled and teased: "It's a pity that we don't have a banquet here today, otherwise you will definitely attract the attention of everyone at the banquet." ”

Sylvide smiled.

Fang Yu hurriedly replied, "Sylvid is...... It's ......"

A glimmer of insight flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged craftsman, and he still smiled: "...... It seems that I said the wrong thing, but you're even luckier than I am, Mr. Eddard. ”

He praised it from the bottom of his heart:

"Miss Sylvide is quite good, and you have a fiancée who is as beautiful as a flower."

Fang Yuan's own face turned red, which made the craftsman a little funny, after all, such a simple young man was very rare now.

However, he was also relieved, after all, as the princess's close attendant, of course, he was happy to see the people with whom Her Royal Highness the princess dealt with, and he didn't have too many complicated thoughts.

He ushered them in, and as he walked forward, he told them about the history of the Tansnir Artisan Guild.

In the inner niches of the long walls on the left and right, the magic guides and trophies on display are from what era, under what background, and by whom.

The Artisan Guild of Tansnir has a history of 120 years, and as elsewhere, it is natural that there have been many outstanding craftsmen in this 100-year period.

Fang Yu only came to do business yesterday, but no one introduced these things to him, and he was very curious to hear them.

Privately, Sylvid took his hand.

Fang Yu looked back a little unexpectedly.

The aristocratic daughter looked wonderful, bit her ear and said to him that the identity of the middle-aged craftsman was not simple.

But Fang Yu looked at the middle-aged craftsman walking in front, and he didn't see anything wrong with the other party.

Except that the other party may be a close confidant of the eldest princess, but this is something he already knows.

He whispered, "What do you say?" ”

Sylvide replied carefully, "Either the princess's fiancé." ”

Or, the princess's lover. ”

"What?" Fang Yu was not a little surprised.

"Sylvid, how do you tell?"

"There are some small details about him, and I don't think I deliberately hide that."

Sylvid smiled lightly and whispered, "That's the etiquette of the royal family of Astanya-"

She added: "Such a character is either a prince himself. Either that, or they are very close to the people in the royal family, and they must not be of ordinary proportions.

In this way, you can inadvertently leave such a mark in your daily words and deeds. ”

Fang Yu looked at the middle-aged craftsman with some surprise.

The other party didn't think it would be a prince. If you are a prince, you should call the eldest princess your sister or sister, not your highness.

But if a princess has a lover, maybe it's not a big deal.

As long as the other party has no ill will towards them, that's enough.

The middle-aged man didn't hear the conversation between the two, and only asked Fang Yu halfway about the tea yesterday and if he was dissatisfied.

Fang Yu knows a fart of local tea, not to mention the local Tansnir, even his hometown. But Sylvid had already replied first:

"It's quite authentic golden tea, after all, such a high-quality Estanian golden tea is really rare in the north, so please thank Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess on our behalf."

The middle-aged man looked at her with some surprise.

It was immediately apparent that Sylvid was an aborigine.

He nodded: "Family history, not bad." ”

The three of them went up to the second floor, and the middle-aged craftsman turned around a little embarrassed and said to the two, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ed, I have to tell you one thing in advance."

Originally, I wanted the two of them to come and see the magic guide construction of the Tansnir Craftsman Guild, but I didn't expect some accidents in the middle. ”

Fang Yu paused for a moment and asked, "What's the matter, isn't it convenient to visit today?" ”

The middle-aged man shook his head: "That's not true, it's just that the elder came back earlier today, and I heard that I was going to invite people to visit again, and she will grow up...... Well, it's a little unpleasant. ”

"How?" Fang Yu said unexpectedly: "But isn't the Craftsman Association public, just visit it shouldn't be a problem......?" ”

Sylvid listened with a smile, and couldn't help but lower her head and cover her mouth with her hand.

The middle-aged craftsman glanced at Fang Yu, this young man was so innocent that he couldn't help but be a little worried.

The Artisan Association is open to the majority of association craftsmen, if it is just a simple visit, then does Her Royal Highness the Princess need to arrange for herself to come?

The matter is already so clear, but the other party still looks ignorant.

However, the other party is the princess's honored guest, and there is nothing wrong with being simple, he patiently followed Fang Yuan's words: "It is about the elder that I thought that I would invite those gentlemen to visit, and she has always been unkind to such things." ”

"Again?"

The middle-aged craftsman smiled embarrassedly: "That's the case...... The descendants of the noble princes in the city are very curious about alchemy. And Her Royal Highness the princess also needs to win over these people, and I can't refuse their requests. ”

Fang Yu suddenly realized when he heard this.

However, to win over the princes and nobles, Her Royal Highness the princess seems to be very ambitious.

He remembered that the Sand King Babaltan had several sons, but the desert people did not have a male primacy for succession, and the princess seemed to have some thoughts about the throne.

He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that there would be a queen in Istania in more than ten years?

That's a pretty interesting thing.

After all, although I don't know how Babaltan's sons are, the princes are not famous outside, but the eldest princess is famous.

This is evident from this.

However, for the dissatisfaction of the president of the craftsman association, Fang Yu is completely understandable.

After all, the artisans are not responsible to the royal family of Istanya, and no one wants these miasma to happen in their area of responsibility-

So he replied with great understanding: "Then let's come back next time." ”

But the middle-aged craftsman said, "That's not necessary. ”

"How?"

"I explained it to the elder, but she didn't believe it. The elder said that it is not impossible to visit, but you have to pass her assessment. ”

The middle-aged man looked at the two of them: "This assessment is naturally impossible for those who don't learn and don't know how to pass, but for Mr. Ed, it should be quite easy to pass......"

"Assessment?"

Fang Yu could roughly understand the president's thoughts.

For the descendants of those princes and nobles outside, who are not alchemists themselves, the other party said this, but it was just to set a threshold for them to retreat.

For him, there really is nothing difficult about it.

The so-called assessment of alchemists is nothing more than some basic things.

He looked at the middle-aged craftsman's gaze at him, and was slightly apprehensive, probably because he was worried that he would leave because of this.

After all, he is also a formal craftsman, so there is no reason to still play the apprenticeship. Especially for a craftsman with some fame, such a request is a bit unreasonable.

However, he was just a drafter, and he was not very famous, and he always considered himself a newcomer due to the rapid growth of his ranks.

So I don't have any guilt in my heart.

If you can visit the inventory of the Tansnir Artisan Association, what is a small assessment, not to mention the assessment, it is okay to play a game.

So he nodded very cheerfully: "Of course it's fine." ”

The middle-aged craftsman breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm really ashamed, Her Royal Highness the princess asked me to arrange everything, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen." ”

Fang Yu scratched his head.

It suddenly occurred to him that this was not actually the other party's negligence.

The other party may know early in the morning when the president will return, and arrange a time window. If he and Sylvid had come in the morning, they would probably have already visited the hotel.

But at this time, he came and hit the muzzle of the elder's gun.

In other words, they still make it difficult for each other.

The middle-aged man led the two of them in, and after going up to the third floor, Fang Yu met the president of the craftsman association in the hall the day before.

What he didn't expect was that the president of the craftsman association, who was not sympathetic to the other party, turned out to be a lady.

But the lady didn't look like an alchemist at all, she was tall and strong, and she was a head taller than him, almost as tall as he remembered Mr. Quelod.

It's just that although the other party is tall, he doesn't look like five big and three thick, but has some heroic beauty.

Through the introduction of the middle-aged craftsman, Fang Yu learned that this red-haired lady was a rare giant spirit descendant.

And when the latter saw him, a hint of surprise flashed in his emerald green eyes.

The president lady looked at the three gold stars on Fang Yuan's collar and said with some surprise: "Alchemist? ”

Facing the other party's question, Fang Yu nodded.
