The view on the verandah in the distance, about the occasional attendant passing by under the palm trees, and the wide robes, for it is not common beyond the silver rustling sea.

The hollowed-out railings there were naturally painted white.

The rather traditional Ishanian style of architecture here is much more conservative than that of the Bisha Lodge, with only a low table under the verandah, and a thick carpet of animal wool spread out - the square plover and Alepf sit opposite each other, and a square cloth is placed on the low table, on which are stacked with plates, containing food, fruits and vegetables, and the basket contains bread, pointed like a hill, and the abundance seems to be the tradition of the desert people.

This is the second time the two have met.

Alepf was sitting across from the low table, his brown jewel-like eyes looking at him expectantly, and he spoke, "Ed, Master Burard has returned to Cuestak. ”

"He's heard that you've repaired the Tower Magic Furnace, and he'd like to see you."

"So you're free?"

The other party looked at him earnestly, obviously hoping that he would agree.

To be honest, Fang Yu was still a little embarrassed. He had done him a small favor that day, purposefully—at least in his opinion, but the gratitude he showed was more than he expected—at least judging by the attitude of the other party, it seemed that he really regarded him as a friend.

However, he quickly calmed down, he had some purpose, but it was not very ulterior. At best, it is just an obligation to Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess, and he doesn't plan to do anything, just plan to inquire about the news of the Penelope royal family from the other party.

Since you've arrived in a strange place, maybe it's a good idea to make some friends.

In fact, early that morning, the other party asked someone to send him a letter, saying that there was something to discuss.

Before this, he must not have agreed to this heart, but in the past two days, he has no clue about the investigation in the city, and there is no rumor on the palace side, and he has almost run all the occasions where the flow of people in the city gathers, but there are no rumors about the eldest princess.

In desperation, everything seems to have to return to the original point.

He had agreed with the other party's servant to meet at the izakaya three days earlier, and this was the place now.

However, Fang Yu didn't expect that the so-called 'important matter' would be such a thing.

So he asked a little helplessly:

"Who is Master Burrard?"

"That's my teacher," replied Alepf, "he's a court alchemist, and you may not have met him." ”

Fang Yu really inquired about such a number one person, but there was no such person in the Istania Craftsman Association, I thought it was a noble alchemist or something like that—but I didn't expect it to be a court alchemist. However, court alchemists also belong to the category of aristocratic alchemists, but they belong to the royal family.

When he heard this answer, he was suddenly stunned: "Court alchemist? ”

Alepf nodded.

"But you say he's your teacher?"

"Yes, my full name is actually Al Leef Sally Penelope."

"Alepf Sally Penelope, ...... the name?"

There was a hint of surprise in Fang Yu's tone.

Alepf put down the wine glass in his hand and smiled: "Ed should have heard of the surname Penelope, which is actually nothing strange, I didn't intend to hide it, but you didn't ask at the time." I am a member of the royal family, and Baltan, the King of Sands, is my father, to be exact. ”

Fang Yu opened his mouth. "So you're His Royal Highness?"

Alepf nodded.

Having said that, there was no pride in his words, and Fang Yu even heard a hint of worry in it.

But this thought only flashed in his mind, and then he couldn't help but be surprised, and marveled at his own luck. For the sake of the eldest princess, a person who seemed to have 'some status' in casual contact in the adventurer's guild now seems to be a member of the royal family and a prince.

He didn't know what to say for a while.

However, after thinking about it, Fang Yu realized that it was difficult to say whether this was good luck or not. The other party is a member of the royal family, but he is in this whirlpool, and it can be said that he is directly involved in the parties compared to those nobles who have nothing to do with themselves. If he rashly asks the other party about the affairs in the palace, will it arouse the suspicion of the other party?

Sometimes having relevant information is just hearsay and not having relevant information, and the degree of sensitivity to one thing cannot be equated. The other party is a prince, and he will not be unaware of what is happening in the palace, after all, one side is his father, and the other side is his sister.

It is appropriate to say that it is the parties.

Fang Yu pondered for a moment here, while Alef on the side saw that his newly-made friend was worried, and couldn't help asking:

"What's wrong, Ed?"

"It's nothing, it's just a feeling." Fang Yu shook his head and replied.

Naturally, he would not say what was in his heart.

"Feeling something?" Alepf looked at him a little strangely.

He imagined many reactions to hearing his identity, but he never thought of the phrase 'I feel something'. However, Fang Yuan's attitude aroused his curiosity, and he had also seen the Elector, and after all, his identity was not as respectful as that of the aborigines, but he would be more or less curious.

What is the meaning of this 'feeling in the heart'?

Alepf looked at the other party and couldn't help but say, "If Ed is in any trouble, you can tell me." You've done me a great favor, and according to the truth above the sea of sand, I should have done you a favor. ”

Fang Yu smiled bitterly: "I said, that's just a commission. ”

It's not that he doesn't want to nod, but what else should he say? Let the other party take him into the palace to meet with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess?

Think about it, and you know it's unreliable.

Seeing that he didn't want to speak, Alepf thought about it for a while, and stopped asking, but instead talked to him about the previous magic furnace.

"Ed, after my teacher returned from Kaja, I heard that you repaired the Tower Magic Furnace, especially since I heard that you were so young, I have always wanted to see you."

"He's a master of the Istania Magic Wizard Costume School, and he rarely instructs outsiders, so it's always good for you to meet him."

When Fang Yu heard about the magic guide construct, he couldn't help but be a little curious, he did encounter some small problems in the practical use of the kraken configuration, but after all, the person was no longer in Tansnir, and there was no lady Erna who could teach him how to use the magic guide construct all the time. Moreover, among the 'Star Threads' skills provided by Delan, there is also a lot of knowledge related to the Wizard Structure.

However, this is still secondary, mainly because his current investigation has reached a dead end, and there is no way to think of it, and there is only one way to go.

In front of him was a member of the royal family, who could enter the palace of Istanya at any time, if he didn't catch this road, what else could he think? Since the other party wanted him to meet that master of Burred, it was not impossible to meet him, he had seen many master craftsmen with both ability and virtue in the artisan association, but the noble alchemist really had not had much contact.

Seeing him nodding, Alepf couldn't help but be a little overjoyed, and hurriedly asked:

"And we'll leave now?"

Seeing that the other party seemed to attach great importance to this meeting, Fang Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised, and at the same time, he nodded again.

……

Walking out of the izakaya, two desert knights were negotiating something with their master in the back, but they didn't follow for a while.

Fang Yu glanced back, and suddenly asked, "Does Alepf know Princess Afifa?" ”

The young man looked back at him with some surprise: "Of course, that's my half-sister. What, does Ed know Afifa? As he spoke, he couldn't help but find a soft look on his face: "I have a good relationship with Afifa, but of course it's not as good as her relationship with her sister." ”

Fang Yu glanced at the soft expression on the other party's face, and a trace of surprise flashed in his heart. He asked Afifa, of course, to ask the eldest princess, but he just asked the eldest princess directly, for fear that it would be too abrupt and make the other party suddenly think of recent events. But I didn't expect the effect to be surprisingly good, and the other party actually took the initiative to mention Princess Rupert.

Just looking at Alepf's demeanor, why doesn't he seem to know about the matter of the eldest princess?

If Celestia was under house arrest, why shouldn't he mention the two sisters with such expressions?

Alepf continued: "Speaking of which, today's events have something to do with this matter. ”

Fang Yu was slightly stunned. "How?"

"Ed doesn't know yet, the magic furnace you repaired is the gift that Afifa and I are going to give to my father," Alep smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's about to be my father's fifty-fifth birthday, and this is a special day for the people of the desert, after all, it was at this age that the first king of the sand founded Istania in the past." ”

"Aphifa has been preparing for this gift for a long time, but I accidentally broke it, and Master Burred didn't return in time, if it weren't for Eddard, I would be doomed. So I said you did me a big favor, and that's no joke. ”

Fang Yu vaguely felt that the other party's words were not completely said, for example, how could the gift prepared by Afifa be in his hand? But he didn't care much about these trivial things. When he heard the birthday of the Sand King, his heart moved slightly, and he wanted to ask something, but when he saw the two knights walking up from behind, he thought for a while and still didn't speak.

Just silently kept it in mind.

Although the master of Burred was a court alchemist, he did not live entirely in the royal palace, in fact, he was the court alchemist of Cowling, and certainly did not live in the royal palace. The court alchemists of Kaulin even went further, they were directly named under the General Association of Craftsmen, and some of them were even sent by the General Association of Craftsmen.

The master's residence is not far from this place, just diagonally opposite the Adventurer's Guild, no wonder His Royal Highness the prince would go to the Adventurer's Guild to find someone, it seems that this master will still take up a position in the Adventurer's Guild when he is fine.

However, although the road was short, Fang Yu still found an opportunity to ask some questions about the recent affairs in the court.

But what surprised him a little was that he didn't know whether this young prince really didn't know, or if he was pretending to be stupid, he asked for a long time, but he didn't ask a reason.

In just a few words, the two arrived at their destination.

It was an alchemy workshop in itself, but it was normal for alchemists to transform their homes into workshops, and Fang Yu didn't make a fuss about it. There was even a guard at the door of the workshop, but the other party obviously knew Alepf and let them in without looking.

The furnishings in the workshop were also familiar to Fang Yuan, and they were not as luxurious as the workshops under the Council of Elffindor - and the Rose Workshop he had seen in Duron and Van Rik were much more luxurious than here. Istania was a marginal area not only on the political map of the Kaurin-Ihurian kingdom, but also on the actual territory and the alchemical territory, and no matter how much the Magic School of Structuring flourished, it could not change this.

This is evident in these details.

If it was the private workshop of the court warlock of the royal family, it would definitely not be like this.

However, Fang Yu did not underestimate a true alchemy master, just like Lady Erna, no matter how she was the president of a poor and remote craftsman guild, her level was far beyond him.

Hierarchical suppression is as simple as that.

And the meeting with this master of Burrard was also not beyond Fang Yuan's imagination - but the other party was younger than he expected, he originally thought that this court warlock alchemy master was an old man, but he didn't expect that the other party was still a middle-aged man in the prime of life.

It's just that there are some spots on the temples.

The other party was also amazed by his youth, and after discussing with him the principles and structure of the Tower Magic Furnace from the perspective of a professional alchemist, he couldn't help but praise his insight. However, Fang Yu heard something different in his words, it turned out that this alchemist master originally thought he was a liar.

Of course, this does not represent the current perception of this Burred master, and after a face-to-face discussion with Fang Yuan, he has completely dismissed this idea, and admires Fang Yuan's young and promising nature. However, alchemists are about such a group of people, except for what they specialize in, they rarely think about other things, and they are straightforward when they speak, and in just a few words, Fang Yu can figure out the ins and outs.

Fang Yu couldn't laugh or cry for a while, but he also understood the other party's thoughts, after all, such a young alchemist is common, but such a young crystallizer also understands such an old antique thing as a tower magic furnace. If it weren't for himself, I'm afraid he would have thought he was a braggart.

In addition, the other party is also a teacher of His Royal Highness the Prince, so naturally he can't be cautious in this regard.

However, after explaining the misunderstanding, this meeting made both sides feel that the trip was worthwhile. In front of a true alchemy master, Fang Yu was naturally nothing, but his insights into the tower magic furnace and ancient alchemy had benefited a lot from top craftsmen like Arquette, and even inadvertently contributed to the reappearance of battle elves, let alone Burred, an Istanian court warlock?

And for Fang Yuan, Burrard's knowledge level is naturally much higher than that of Elna, and the other party is worthy of the title of master, in the general meeting of craftsmen, the title of a master craftsman is indispensable - of course, it may be the weakest one. For example, the deputy minister of a sub-department or something.

Probably out of the guilt of thinking that Fang Ou was a 'young talent' as a liar, Burard also had the rare patience to explain some of Fang Yuan's questions about the Siren configuration, and gave Fang Yu some insights from his own young notes.

These things can't be obtained, after all, it is the experience of a master's young age, Fang Yu was directly prompted by the system to 'obtain the original master's manuscript' when he got it in his hand, and then directly obtained thousands of experience. Fang Yu was stunned for a while, and hesitated whether he wanted to go back to Dulun and empty his teacher's house?

And that's secondary.

Burred looked at Deresa's 'stellar vein' technique, pondered for a moment, and then said to him:

"I'm not familiar with this thing, it's another direction that belongs to the theory of magic construction. The author's deep research into the theory of the aether is admirable, and I am far inferior, and I can conclude that there is no second person in Questak who can do the same in this field, and I think it is probably useless for you to find anyone else. ”

"What then?"

Fang Yu couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard this.

He was so involved in the discussion that he even forgot for a moment what he was here for.

With the help of cognitive experience, he had actually learned the 'Heavenly Realm Knowledge' in the past few days, and his level was almost twenty-six. But when learning this 'stellar network', it was difficult, and from the very beginning, it was a bit like hearing a book from the sky, not that I couldn't understand it at all, but I couldn't understand it at all.

Burred thought for a moment before replying, "The former president of the Guistac Artisans' Association, Master Mayotte, is a master of this. ”

Fang Yu hurriedly asked, "Then where is he?" ”

Listening to Fang Yuan's question, Alepf couldn't help but reply helplessly: "Master Mayotte passed away three years ago. ”

“？？？”

Fang Yu looked at the two of them in confusion, thinking to himself In this case, why are you mentioning this, playing with me?

Bethleud said, "There are some books left behind by the master during his lifetime, which should be kept in the royal library at the moment, and you may be able to go there to find the answers." ”

When Fang Yu heard this, he almost didn't stand still, almost thinking that he had heard it wrong, and couldn't help but subconsciously ask: "What library?" ”

"The Royal Library," Burred glanced at His Royal Highness the Prince on the side, "just let him take you in." ”

Alepf patted his chest and packed the ticket.

"No problem, Ed, I'll have this on you."

Fang Yu looked at the two of them and couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. What does it mean to step on iron shoes and find nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get them, and this is what you need in front of you?
