Chapter 60: The Mysterious Attack and Fang Yuan's Plan

In the last few days of Al Pahin, Fang Yu fully saw what it means to plan and change as fast.

First of all, soldiers of the Silverwind Knights appeared near the inn, causing everyone to have to move. Fortunately, Sylvid has a way, and Princess Tobrian has found a hiding place for them near an old arsenal in the lower level.

What follows is a typical planned disaster that is almost domino-

Unexpected actions delayed the day's procurement, delayed negotiations between Attila and Sylvid and the smugglers in the lower city, and directly postponed the city plan. And in order to catch up with the time, it also brings an increase in costs.

Only then did Fang Yu understand that planning was not something to be taken for granted, and the ideal state always had to face endless accidents.

The next day Elpahim suddenly received a shower, and the rain poured into the sewers, causing the water level to skyrocket. It was not until the early morning of the third day that the trio were able to leave the city with the smugglers.

The smugglers took them to the agreed place, collected the final payment, and then said goodbye to them and left.

Fang Yu watched the people wave away at them in the rain, and looked back at the drenched Red with some surprise, and asked curiously, "I'm still worried that you'll have a conflict with them, Mr. Red?" ”

The lionman shook his huge head, and the water splashed, spilling it all over the two of them. "Hey, what are you doing, Red!" Parker yelled angrily, "I said last time, you'd better go away next time you do anything else." ”

"Ah, I'm sorry, little one," Red replied disappreciatively, before turning back to Fang Yu and asking, "Why do you say that, little boy, Mr. Our Regiment Leader?" ”

"Aren't you the paladin of Marland, that ...... I've heard that the paladins of Aitalia are jealous and hateful? ”

"That depends on how you define justice, little one," replied the lionman, narrowing his eyes in the direction of Elpahim in the rain and mist, wiping the muddy water from his pipe, "We are the knights of the goddess, not the jurists of Berlandia—they are dedicated to stripping people of superfluous attributes in order to put people in a frame; And we, on the other hand, walk according to our hearts. ”

"Inside?"

"Compassion, compassion, honor, responsibility," Red replied lightly, looking at Fang Ou, "The scholars of Blandia claim that order does not make mistakes, and we tend to make mistakes often—and it is because of this that we understand the limitations of mortals, and we are not arrogant and confused, so that we can be worthy of our hearts and the teachings of Marland—"

He looked at the backs of the men in the distance. "Smugglers, thieves, liars, there are all kinds of people in the lower town, but there are also people who are not inherently bad, because sometimes you don't choose where you come from. Don't be biased, Ed, and listen to the wind for your answers. ”

"Don't listen to the big cat," replied the Paparral, wiping the water from his hair, "and it's always chattering, and the wind doesn't tell you anything at all, at most it makes a dull shriek, woo-woo-"

To Parker's rebuttal, the lion man laughed silently.

However, Fang Yu only mentioned it, and he didn't really get involved in the argument between the two.

He looked around, they had agreed to meet up with Attila here, they had supposed to be there first after a night of delay in the sewers, but there was no towering back of the beast of burden in the surrounding wilderness at this moment.

This made Fang Yu couldn't help but be a little worried.

However, he did not expect that the wait would be for hours, and it was not until it was close to noon that the tall figure of 'Mr. Graystone' slowly appeared in his field of vision.

And when Attila and his party came closer, Fang Ou got on the pack beast, only to find that his worries had become a reality:

The platform on the back of the pack beast looked even more miserable than before, the drawbridge was broken, the shield outside the platform was full of broken feathered arrows, and there were shocking knife marks everywhere, and everyone seemed to have experienced a great battle.

Sky Blue's head was wrapped in a somewhat comical circle of gauze, and when she kowtowed in battle, a large bag rose up on her head; Miss Attila had been slashed in her right arm, and the blood stained the bandage red, and she looked quite scary.

But the most seriously injured of all is Kita, and the future Miss Naturalist desperately tries to block the gangsters with her thin body in order to protect her books, and does not let them rush into the house. But because of this, the sword wound on the right chest almost penetrated, although after the battle, a healer was found to save his life - but the infection and high fever after the injury, in this world without antibiotics, can only rely on the long-term care of the priest.

There were no priests in the ranks, and Elpahim couldn't find a professional clergy who might be dedicated to caring for her, but fortunately Sylvid was qualified as a pharmacist, and the noble lady took the initiative to take care of Kita.

This attack came so suddenly that it was even a little confusing-

Fang Yu asked what Attila was all about, but the latter couldn't explain why, and only shook his head slightly.

The attackers were not alone, but clearly organized, but they did not leave much information on the battlefield - they appeared suddenly and left before the guards arrived. Sky Blue tells him that Kita seems to have seen the identity of the attacker in the confusion, but the clue about the girl's current condition is useless.

The battle took place before leaving the city.

But what enemies do they have in Elpahim? First of all, it can't be the military and the Silverwind Knights, they can't use such means.

Fang Yu's first thought was the 'eldest sister' and his party that he met at the Traveler's Rest. They have a motive and recognize Attila and Sky Blue, but it is doubtful whether the other party has the strength to do so.

Then he has another potential enemy, the Jeffrey Redcoats of the Flor Descendants, who have the strength but don't seem to have the motive. Even if the Reds see the Continental League and recognize themselves, they don't know Attila and Sky Blue.

Or maybe it's the Dragon-worshippers - but this assumption is so terrifying that they haven't even officially started their investigation before the other party has already come to the door, isn't that a bit too much?

Fang Yu couldn't think of a reason, so he had to ask some detailed questions. Only then did I know that the level of the attacker was not low, and the ordinary members were not inferior to Etira, but Sylvid's maid could fight two with one or even three with one.

Fang Yu didn't know how high Shesta's level was, but he knew that Attila's total level was 13, of which there were 9 combat ranks, 6 hunters, and 4 druids—originally 3, but after the Traveler's Rest battle, it was increased by one level. The natives themselves don't have a Drafter system, but Aitalia is an informational world after all, and the Sky Blue people can help check her information.

The combined experience of a level 6 hunter and a level 4 druid is exactly a level 9 ranger. Of course, the elf girl also has a level 7 chef level, but that one has no combat power - so she can fight alone with a level 9 forest ranger, and the average level of the opponent has at least reached the level of ordinary members of the spear of the silver forest or the main group of the Jeffrey Redcoats.

This level is even higher than that of ordinary soldiers in Kaulin-Ishurian.

It is rare for an organization with such strength to be held in the first world. On closer examination, there are only a few big guilds, plus a few forces of the same level, such as the Kalin Business Alliance and the Craftsman Association.

Could it really be the Jeffrey Reds? Fang Yu couldn't help but be a little suspicious.

The only luck in the whole thing was that Attila was with Sylvid, and the other party didn't seem to expect the strength of the noble maiden, and relied on Shesta to block the attacker's attack until the guards arrived, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Fang Yu thanked Sylvede for this. However, to his surprise, Sylvede was not upset that she was implicated, as if she was really not so squeamish as she said, but accepted his thanks generously.

And for the rest of the day, such an attack was not repeated. However, this did not mean that things were starting to get better, and the rain became heavier and heavier that night, which greatly affected the speed of the team's progress.

It was planned to arrive at Carifin at noon on the fourth day, but it turned out that there was no sign of the abandoned town until midnight.

So the usual length of the trip is often in ordinary situations, without taking into account the bad weather - Fang Yu has learned a new lesson. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh and watch the rain crackle against the window lattice.

Splashes of water slid down the windowsill, onto the floor, and seeped through the cracks in the planks.

The few breaches left by the previous battle had been leaking rain, and the rain drifted into the house and hit him in the face, a little cold. Yesterday, although Luo Yu simply repaired the roof in the rain, it obviously didn't help.

A soft cough came from the bed behind him.

Fang Yu turned her head and looked at Miss Naturalist curled up in the quilt, she was usually a little shy and more quiet and weak at the moment—her eyes were closed, her thick eyelashes were gently drooping, her little face was like a pale piece of paper, her mouth was pursed, and she was so delicate that she seemed to be about to break—her breath was inaudible.

After Fang Yu confirmed that her condition was stable, he checked the ceiling to see if there was any rain dripping down the ceiling, and then reached out to pull the quilt for her.

There was a strong smell of herbs in the room—

Kita is here, naturally, so that he and Sylvid can take care of it. After all, both of them had some knowledge of pharmacy, but Sylvid was more specialized in this area, and his pharmacy was mostly related to alchemy.

In fact, due to the addition of Sylvid and her maid, the already cramped space on the platform finally became stretched, and the time was too rushed to give them the opportunity to transform the platform. So Attila had no choice but to clear the inside of the utility room into a separate compartment - hanging the barrels and chests on the rope nets behind the beasts outside, and here using planks and draperings to create a separate space for a temporary residence for a master and a servant.

Thus Sylvide's master and servant lived in the inner room, while Fang Yu remained alone in the simple space outside.

It sounds a bit charming, but it's not, not to mention that the two of them have barely looked at each other for more than thirty hours to take care of Kita, and even if Sylvid is busy, he will only work on those blueprints with him.

He didn't know where the aristocratic girl got such good energy, and his own head was about to explode.

Fang Yu couldn't help but sigh again, and put the back of his hand on Ji Ta's hot forehead, and after testing the temperature, he dipped it in water and changed a towel for her. Sylvid had told him not long ago that the little girl was past the danger period, and that was the only good news of the day.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look inside-

At the back of the carriage is a cubicle, almost with room for two people to turn around. In the room, Sylvede sat on a wooden box, with her leather case beside her. There are a few books piled up next to the suitcase, all of which are knightly romances, and some of them are translations of the works of the earth.

She kept her head down and looked intently at the book, occasionally turning a page lightly, and the page rattled.

As if feeling Fang Yuan's gaze, Sylvid raised her head a little unexpectedly, and asked in a crisp voice, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing," Fang Yu shook his head. "Don't you have to take a break?" For more than 30 hours since Kita was injured, the other party has hardly closed his eyes, not to mention that he is in good spirits, but he doesn't seem to be sleepy.

"No," Sylvid smiled slightly, not answering what he expected. "But Mr. Captain, you should be more tired than me, are you almost done?"

"Don't call me Mr. Captain, Miss Sylvide," Fang Yu sighed. "There's not even a boat, so people will laugh when they hear it."

"What about Mr. Commander?"

"That's a bit of a misnomer."

"All right, Captain," Sylvid said, closing the book and looking at him playfully, seeming to enjoy chatting with him. "Better than I thought, Mr. Eddard."

"—more than you imagined?" Fang Yu paused for a moment.

"This position requires both ability and responsibility," Sylvid said softly, "I want to see what kind of person is the one who inherits my father's wishes, so let Miss Attila not help you deal with these troubles, Mr. Ed won't blame me, right?" ”

Fang Yu shook his head.

Own adventure group, this sentence is not only a romantic-sounding dream, but also a realistic responsibility. He only now understood Miss Scarpet's feelings, and she and Mr. Quelod had taken on the trust of an entire team.

He looked at the weak and thin Miss Naturalist on the bed, and had an inexplicable feeling in his heart that he should do better.

Because Aitalia is not only a dream journey, but also the difficulties and challenges faced by the pioneers, the curiosity and exploration of the unknown is based on courage and human conquest of itself.

It should be perfect and indomitable.

"Miss Sylvede, I may be a little childish, as she said—"

Fang Yu said to himself.

"What?" Sylvid blinked, looking at him curiously.

But Fang Yu only raised his head and smiled at her.

Outside, lightning streaked across the night sky, and the ever-dark forest cast a pale light on the faces of the two people in the room. It may be the last thunderstorm after autumn, but it came at a bad time.

In the small room, the light of the candles was a little dim, swaying with the slow steps of the Grey Ridge Negative Hill Beast.

Miss Fairy sat under the wisteria leaves—that was her old place—and watched the two of them quietly, her emerald eyes reflected a layer of rain, clear and moving, and humans always made her curious, like endless knowledge and treasure.

Mr. Knight seemed to have changed a little, his heart beating wide and powerful, and she couldn't say for a moment which felt better.

Droplets of water fell from the tips of the leaves, like falling diamonds, shattering on the table.

People can't always be childish-

Sylvid put down the book and watched with interest as Fang Yu turned around and continued to do what he was doing. It was the first time she had seen this big boy look so distracted.

On the table were two strange magicians.

Fang Yu bent down again, and pulled out a box from under the simple wooden table, which contained a whole box of α crystals, which collided and jingled with each other—he certainly didn't need so much himself.

But he already had an immature plan in mind.

This inexplicable attack made Fang Yu remember a lot of things again, such as the star of dawn that night, Elsa who died in front of him, and the little girl's dead eyes.

It was the first time he had realized what was beneath the surface of Aitalia, so he would never watch such a tragedy happen to Atyra again. Fortunately, he was different from that time and understood what he should do.

He is first and foremost an alchemist, a craftsman, and a maker. Fang Yu knew the role of alchemists in a team, and this was the first part of his plan.

At this time, there was a voice of Tianlan complaining outside, probably complaining that Luo Yu had not repaired the ceiling, which caused the platform to leak. Not long after, the two stopped and knocked on the door.

Fang Yu raised his head and said, "Please come in." ”

Only then did Luo Yu push the door in, and Tianlan stood behind him with his neck bent. Behind her was the quiet Shesta, who first glanced at Fang Yu with a vigilant gaze, and then looked behind Fang Yuan.

Miss Fairy naturally unconsciously hid her figure-

Sky Blue probed her brain curiously outside: "Sister Sylvide, how is Kita?" ”

"All is well, she's lucky she didn't get infected," Sylvid replied, looking at the two of them, "she should be awake by midnight." ”

"Mr. Ed," Luo Yu asked, "is there anything you did to ask Miss Shesta to come to us?" ”

Fang Yu nodded, picked up the two magic guides from the table, and said to the two, "You guys come and try this." ”

Luo Yu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he looked at that thing. Tianlan exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, isn't this Karn's Gift, Brother Ed, you did it?" ”

Fang Yu nodded.

One of the magic guides in his hand looked like a harp, no bigger than the length of his forearm, but it looked heavy. Unlike ordinary harps, its bow arm structure is complex, covered with metal pipes, and the bow arm is arranged from the bottom to the top with three plug-in connectors, each inserted into a beryl, a red energy crystal, and a somewhat strange small geared plug-in set.

It is a typical Karn Lyre, named after the alchemist of the same name eleven centuries ago, and it works by using magic crystals connected to the twelve strings to mobilize the aether magic, though it requires considerable expertise to use it - this is the ability of the Aitarian Bard.

Tianlan took the harp from Fang Yuan's hand with some love, blinked his eyes and asked him, "Brother Ed, is this for me?" ”

Fang Yu couldn't help laughing. "Otherwise, for whom?"

"Great!" Tianlan couldn't help but scream in surprise and gave Fang Yu a heavy hug: "I love you to death, Brother Ed, I will treat it as the best birthday present!" ”

"Birthday?" Fang Yu was stunned.

"Huh?" Tianlan was also stunned: "Isn't this my birthday gift?" ”

Fang Yu didn't expect this at all, and couldn't help but scratch his head very embarrassed: "This...... Well, you can think so, it's pretty much the same anyway-"

Luo Yu on the side was much more keen, he took the thing from Fang Yu's hand, and after a closer look, he found that it was a modified clockwork fairy. However, unlike the normal Clockwork Elf's spherical shell, this Clockwork Elf is diamond-shaped, making it look more like a smaller Annihilator Build.

He looked up and asked, "This is for us, Mr. Ed?" ”

"Huh?" Tianlan listened to Luo Yu's words, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Brother Ed, aren't you confused, Luo Yu and I are trainees." ”
