Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Blood Ship
At the time of parting, Ms. Zhang Rou once again red-eyed, holding the hands of her son and daughter, and told her a thousand instructions. And Fang Yuan's uncle just told him that after returning to Earth, he would help him find the notebook, which should be placed somewhere in the old mansion.
Fang Yu found that he didn't know when, and he couldn't see his aunt crying more and more, so he hurriedly hid on the boat, and couldn't help but wipe the corners of his eyes. This time, I don't know when I will meet next time, it is not impossible to return to Earth from Xingmen Port, but it is not without restrictions.
When Tang Xin returned to the boat, her eyes were also red, and Ai Xiaoxiao, who had just said goodbye to her parents, also cried, and Fang Yu looked at her cousin, always feeling a little guilty, if it weren't for herself, she wouldn't stay in this place against her will.
But at the end of the parting, as the ship slowly sailed out of the harbor and followed the towering shadow of the Berio in front, the uncle and aunt also became tiny black dots on the trestle. Not long after, Fang Yu saw Princess Brian who was doing nothing on his boat, and couldn't help but be surprised:
"Your Royal Highness, why aren't you on your own boat?"
Brian looked at him a little narrowly: "Didn't anyone tell you that I was an air elemental adapter, of course I 'flew' by myself." ”
How many heroes and heroes in history are wind elemental adaptability, including Miss Miya, Fang Yuan, a non-elemental adaptability, only envy, jealousy and hatred.
"By the way, borrow your captain's room, I'm living with Sylvid these days, it's okay for you, right?"
"Huh?"
"Ah, what, that's it."
According to the original plan, the Seven Seas Traveler and the Berio would follow a common route towards Fenris, and then turn in the direction of Rainbow Sky Gap, crossing Cloud Harbor in a short time, and if all went well, the land edge of El Pahin could be seen in less than a week.
But the plan could not keep up with the rapid changes, and Fang Yu soon found that the day he chose was not good, and not long after going out to sea, the storm converged on the empty sea, and the wind howled fiercely, and the lightning and thunder roared. It took them more than three days to sail out of the storm-ravaged seas, but they had already strayed far from course, and after elemental measurements, they found that this area was not in the waters where Fenris Island was located, but close to the shores of Guta.
To the east of Fenris Island, south of El Pahin, the sea is described by previous navigators as it has complex currents, with only a few less commonly used shipping lanes passing through it.
However, the old captain of the Berio was very experienced, and told them that it was not impossible to reach the Rainbow Sky Gap by heading north along the twisting coastline here. It's just that both ships have to find a nearby place to resupply and rest, and there is a city called Iron Reef Harbor to the north, which should be a good place to dock.
Reef Harbor is in fact one of the largest ports on the Guta coastline, across the sea from Fenris's Cloud Harbor, and the two ports are connected by a trade lane, but due to the climatic conditions, the shipping lanes leading to other directions on this coast are safe only for a few months of the year.
As a result, this place is inevitably not as prosperous as El Pashin and Cloud Harbor, Guta is actually a somewhat closed and xenophobic place, and the locals are full of distrust of the Korin people, but this is not necessarily a bad thing for them on the wanted list of the Kalin Kingdom.
They arrived late at night on the shores of Guta, and the next morning they saw fishing boats of all sizes along the coastline, and at about ten o'clock in the morning they saw the lighthouse of Iron Reef Harbor towering above the headland.
Unlike the Korin people, who are keen on spacious, atmospheric and luxurious architectural style, the architecture of the ancient tower people appears to be narrow and thick, like a fortress, the high tower pierces into the sky, the building complex hangs on the cliff, and even the huge sea gate is covered with towers, which looks a little gloomy and depressing.
It also has to do with the living environment here, the cold Black Forest is full of all kinds of undead monsters, and there are terrifying legends such as the Ancient Hunter, which travel through the snowy woodlands in winter. Magic technology has not yet fully taken root in this land, making it seem more like an ancient and backward wilderness.
The hardships of the past have cultivated the extremely closed and stubborn character of today's Guta people, they are all soldiers, and their martial character may be the most important reason for these people to survive in this bitter cold land.
Today's Guta people have bid farewell to that era of pirates and established their own kingdom, and after the era of the Huntingson dynasty, the current king is Sarian I.
When entering the port, Fang Yu unexpectedly saw several boats with silver sailboats, and painted the hull of the whole ship red, because it was too conspicuous, he couldn't help but take a few more looks. "It's the Fenris's blood ship," Princess Brian said, standing on the side of the ship, noticing his gaze, with an inscrutable smile, "and it has something to do with you." ”
Fang Yu turned around and looked at Her Royal Highness the princess with some surprise.
The rest of the Seven Seas Brigade also seemed a little curious, and Sky Blue couldn't help but ask, "Sister Brian, what do you say?" ”
"After that disaster, Torragotos disappeared and his whereabouts have been unknown ever since, and the island of Fenris has lost its owner." Brian replied as she looked at the bloody ships.
“…… While it was still there, the Kaulin Kingdom could not meddle in the affairs of the island, but its absence was equivalent to an extra power vacuum out of thin air. Everyone wanted to do something with the cake, and the young king dismissed the old consul and sent a cronie to the place. ”
But the cronie was incompetent, he relied on his skirt relationship to rise to power, and he was unpopular, and was soon driven away by the Fenris, who had always been above the top. Now that the Fenris are united in their quest for self-government, they have pushed out the old Archon as the administrator of Cloudport. ”
"However, unlike the rebellion in the south, the Fenris at least recognized the kingdom's rule over them, and it is impossible for the prime minister to open a battlefield in the north while being mired in the south. The Fenris had their own fleet, and although they suffered some losses in that cataclysm, they were not damaged. ”
"The ships you see are the fleets of the Fenris, and they paint their hulls red to show that they will not forget the blood of the dead, and the blood ships symbolize revenge until they find Toragotos and avenge their heroes."
Brian glanced at him: "The Fenris have worked hard after the disaster, and now they have risen to become a force to be reckoned with in the clouds, and even the Guta people have courteously given them three points, do you say that this has anything to do with you?" ”
She paused slightly in her tone and teased, "Our Mr. Hero? ”
"I still don't quite understand," Maye shook her head, "what does this have to do with Mr. Ed?" ”
"Because—"
Fang Yu interrupted Her Royal Highness the princess and said, "Let's wait until we go ashore, and guide the boat over." ”
Princess Brian gave him a somewhat amused look and nodded.
Mei Yi was reasonable, and when he saw that the guide ship sent by the Guta people had indeed approached, he kept his mouth shut and did not continue to ask. It's also thanks to Miss Knight, if you want to change to sky blue, I'm afraid you have to break the casserole and ask to the end.
Everyone returned to their cabins, and before disembarking, everyone had to put away their personal belongings. Although it is generally common for ships to be guarded, the guards cannot ensure that in case, it has almost become a custom for sailors to pack their personal belongings before disembarking.
Fang Yu returned to his captain's room, put the books he had copied from Crosswind Harbor into a glass cabinet, closed the door, locked it with a lock, and inserted crystals into the lock's circle. A six-sided grid of glowing fluorescent fluorescent surfaces in front of him.
He nodded, turned back to the desk, swept the trivial knick-knacks into the drawer, and locked it as well. Then there are the logbooks and other documents, which are also collected and put into the filing cabinet. But when he finally picked up a stack of papers from the table, he couldn't help but stop.
Fang Yu took the heavy stack of manuscripts and looked at the portrait on it - the girl had her eyelids slightly closed, her expression was serene, her long hair was shawl, the light gauze was graceful, the painter had deep sketching skills, and the weakness of the characters was fully displayed in a few strokes. But the contrast of the background is so strong, surrounded by thorns, poisonous snakes spitting letters, and stepping on the white bones of the forest with bare feet, as if they are parting a way among a thorny rose.
The girl held the scales in her hand, and the moon, sun and stars were arranged on them, like some kind of symbol with strong religious connotations.
He had read the illustrations on this note countless times, and each time it felt different, sometimes pity, sometimes fear, sometimes gloomy, and sometimes sacred. There seemed to be a voice on the painting, and he couldn't help but want to go deeper into it, but when he touched the brooch that Ann Lother had given him, it was a refreshing coldness, and there was no other reaction.
If this was just his hallucination, but he had also seen the exact same statue in Descartes' vision, what did this image represent—the icon of the evil god?
But the Descartes of folklore are not like this.
However, when he looked at this manuscript at the moment, he had a different state of mind, and the things that Su Changfeng told him not long ago seemed to be hovering in his heart again, and he had not forgotten those things for a day in these days, forgetting the death of his parents.
Why did your parents die?
Why did the dark believers create that plane crash?
Did they send themselves into this world?
What is their purpose?
One by one, huge doubts shrouded his heart like lingering shadows. He pretended to have dropped everything on the surface, to avoid worrying - but in reality, he was thinking about it all the time.
The conspiracy theories behind it were like a terrible specter, devouring his mind, making him mentally exhausted, almost suspicious and sensitive.
If it weren't for Miss Tata—
Miss Tata, who has a heart-to-heart connection with him, is always able to pull him out of the dark vortex at the most critical moment.
And, of course, Nini.
"Papa."
Seeing that her father was in a daze again, Nini remembered her sister's reminder to herself, stood up and pushed Fang Yuan's shoulder, and shouted in a milky voice.
Fang Yu came back to his senses, realizing that he had lost his mind again, he looked at the manuscript, and finally put it back at the bottom of the filing cabinet, then closed the door and locked it. He glanced at Nini on his shoulder, and smacked her little cheek with his finger, making the latter giggle.
Fang Yu showed a slightly doting look, and then forgot what happened before.
……
Standing on the dock and looking at the 'blood ships' anchored in the harbor, he didn't expect that he was not the only one who had arrived here, as soon as he arrived on his front foot, someone else had arrived on his back foot.
After more than a year of rebuilding on Fenris Island, the rebuilding of Fenris Island has been largely completed thanks to the concerted efforts of the Electors. And for those who had experienced all of that at the time, their quest had entered the next stage, and the Adventurers' Guild had also released the second phase of the quest, and the Blood Ships had begun to appear frequently in the surrounding areas of the Cloud Sea in the past few months.
After the collapse of the Rainlisteners and the Blood Pact, the Electors of the island have gone through an unprecedented phase, coming together with a common goal to form a Pan-Fenris Commonwealth—not as good as the former East Communists—but a new power is clearly emerging.
Eternal Night only stood in place for a moment, and then saw a group of people walking in that direction, the battle robes on the other party's body were only slightly different from theirs, and the background color was almost the same, except that the coat of arms on it was of a different style.
Yongye couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw a few of them—he didn't expect it to be them, and he immediately walked in that direction with the people behind him, "Heaven! ”
The crowd that was walking by suddenly stopped.
Heavenly Flower Fall turned in the direction where the voice came from, and couldn't help but show a look of surprise on her face: "Eternal Night, it's you!" I said how come there is a ship of our own people in the port, but I didn't expect you to be in this place. ”
"Didn't you go to Goland, why did you come here?" Eternal Night walked over and asked.
"We left a little late, and the storm from the south had already formed, so we had to come here first."
Heaven Hualuo said this, paused, stretched out his fist, and punched the other party in the chest: "Long time no see, old man." ”
"Long time no see." Yongye also smiled slightly, and also gave the other party a punch.
The two of them took a step back, looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile.
After that battle, they went their separate ways, and although they all ran to rebuild Fenris and Cloudport, they rarely saw their former comrades. However, the epic battle of Fenris underground will always be an immortal memory in the hearts of those who experienced everything that day, and the battle that changed everything is destined to be remembered forever by everyone involved.
And, of course, that person.
"Actually, I've always heard about you," Yongye looked at his comrades and said, "I heard that you did a good job in Cloud Harbor, and now you are the leader of a guild." ”
"You're not bad," Paradise Blossom said with a smile, "Steelblade, this name is very loud in this area." ”
Eternal Night smiled slightly, but sighed again.
Looking at his expression, Paradise knew what the other party was thinking, yes, if that person also survived, Fenris's today should be far more exciting than now, right?
He couldn't help but sigh as well: "I heard that the people of the alliance have begun to contact some guilds on the island. ”
"This is normal," Eternal Night replied, "as soon as the new regulations were introduced, there was an uproar in the circle, originally I thought that the resistance would be fierce, after all, the Covenant Mountain was in the front of the battle, but the voice of the free electors was still too small in the face of the combined efforts of the two alliances. ”
"So what do we do?"
"It's only a matter of time before the Alliance is co-opted, but Fenris Island must at least maintain a minimum of independence, and I just hope there aren't too many traitors among us."
"Hey, if the great god is still there, we will have the backbone of the heart, and we will not be like this. The consuls are under pressure from the kingdom, but we can't stand up to the pressure from the Alliance. ”
Yongye shook his head, this is also something that can't be helped, not to mention that in fact, he has always thought that even if the other party is still there, he may not be able to change anything. Personal strength is nothing in front of the Alliance, Aitaria is not short of geniuses, Loofah's reputation is loud enough, right?
But the existence of that young lady can only disgust the alliance, and it cannot have any substantial impact on it.
Of course, he wouldn't say these words, after all, for Fenris at the moment, that name is not just a flag, but also a faith.
He digressed the subject and said, "Have you heard about Rollin?" ”
"Van Rik a battle?" Heavenly Blossom Fall reacted: "The commotion over there is not small, although it is not as good as ours, but that guy from Rollin is really a pity, I didn't expect him to be from the dark dragon's side." ”
Yongye was silent for a moment, not knowing whether to mention this matter or not, and after a while, he still decided to believe his old comrade-in-arms: "Heaven, in fact, Rollin wrote me a letter after that. ”
"What?"
Heavenly Flower Fall was startled, looked at the other party, and couldn't help but say: "Eternal Night, you may not be bewitched by him, this is against the Declaration." ”
"Of course I understand," said Eternal Night, "that he didn't say anything, only a few puzzling things." ”
"What do you mean?"
"He said the man was still alive."
"That person?" After Heaven Hualuo finished saying this, he suddenly reacted, and looked at Yongye a little dumbfounded: "Wait, what does that person mean?" ”
Yongye nodded, and was about to say something more, but it was at this time that the two suddenly heard a voice coming from the side.
"Boss, how much does this stuff cost?"
The voice was so familiar, and even though it had been so long, the two of them almost immediately met the memories of that time, as if they were conditioned reflexes, and turned their heads in that direction at the same time.
There, behind a group of sailors, a somewhat rude voice was sounding:
"Boy, go away, these things are not for sale."
"Huh?"
