"Hello, Mr. Ed!"

"Good afternoon, Mr. Ed!"

"Hello, Mr. Johnny, Miss Poxy."

When Fang Plover walked into the silver emu hall, almost every staff member took the initiative to greet him, he was a little flattered a few days ago, so much so that he made a lot of jokes, but now he can deal with it calmly, nodding to everyone one by one.

The vaulted hall is located on the first level of the Elffindor Spire, and a long crescent-shaped front desk leads to the elevator leading to floors 1 to 30. There are fourteen elevators, each of which can be used by twenty-two people to go up and down at the same time, the square plover stepped on the semicircular platform, looked down, only to see a layer of hollow metal mesh under his feet, accompanied by the huge roar of the hinges, the elevator began to sway and climb up.

The experience of using this thing is very poor, and the gap between the elevators on the earth cannot be counted, and the deafening sound of metal collision is like putting people in the steel workshop, so that on the communicator that Fang Yu opened, the avatar of Red Leaf had to almost scream and say to him:

"Where are you, I'm almost deaf."

Fang Yu nodded very empathetically and pointed to his ear, indicating the same.

"I'm on the lift."

Only then did Hongye return to the topic, and said loudly: "Sister Redsleeve asked me to bring you the materials for the second half of this year, and the batch of goods you provided before received a good response in the guild, and everyone is asking Sister Redsleeve to find a master craftsman to supply there." But they also asked how the master craftsman kept making some 'toys'. ”

"By the way, Sister Red Sleeves is Eugudora, you should have met her - her community ID is Red Sleeves Tim Xiang, so we all call her that."

Fang Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly. Anyone who has worked so hard to make something that is described as a 'toy' will not be happy. But in terms of the average level of the main members of Tapolis, the things he made before could really only be considered 'toys'.

But it's a high-quality 'toy'.

"In the second half of this year, I will be able to make a higher-level magic guide, but our previous contract will have to be resigned." Fang Yu was now familiar with this matter, and said directly, "I'll let Miss Atira talk to you. ”

"Can that quality be maintained?"

"I guess I can."

"You're too noisy over there, we'll see you later."

Fang Yu nodded silently.

He put away the communicator, and amid the roar of the platform', he looked down at the patio under the metal mesh under his feet to descend, and it didn't take long for the platform to reach its destination, the twenty-fourth floor, the Hall of Moonlight.

Miss Elf and Miss Naturalist were waiting for him there.

Attila was dressed in a rare garment, her hair was coiled up, revealing the pointed ears of the elves, and her slender neck, and she wore a silver long gauze-like sacrificial garment underneath, and the thin wing-like light gauze covered the silver robe, which looked quite dignified and beautiful.

The robe is painted with a huge green tree, the sun, moon and stars, which is the creation myth of the forest temple, and the giant tree is the belongings of the goddess Ameya in this world, and the robe hangs down to the bottom, and the clouds surround the three worlds.

The first layer is Aitalia.

Miss Elf walked over with a sacrificial staff in her hand, Fang Yu looked at her with some joy, and couldn't help but praise her sincerely: "Miss Attila, you are so beautiful today. ”

"Because today's banquet is specially held for Brother Ed," Kita explained in a low voice, her face slightly red, like a cute apple, "Sister Attila has been preparing for a while, and she usually doesn't participate in this kind of occasion." ”

Fang Yu nodded, Miss Elf didn't attend the last dinner.

"Kita is beautiful too."

Two red clouds flew up Kita's cheeks, "Thank you, thank you." She hurriedly stammered her head, tugged at her linen robe with one hand, and pretended to hold up her huge glasses.

Attila looked him closely, up and down to make sure he couldn't find any flaws, and then asked, "I heard that Mr. Dickert left you a letter?" ”

Fang Yu remembered this and nodded: "Mr. Dickett said in his letter that he had gone to Idus first, and would wait for us to meet there. ”

"Ed, when are you going to leave Van Rik?"

"Just recently, I was going to announce this at a banquet."

After he recovered, the Council of Elffindor cordially invited him to stay and learn from the local alchemists in order to express his gratitude on behalf of Van Rik.

However, it was not so much about learning and communicating, but about meeting with the masters of the council one after another - after all, after the events of Nicol Bolas, those who had participated in that battle in the first place naturally knew the potential of this young man.

For this rising star of the Kaulin-Ihurian alchemy world, people also have the idea of helping him behind the scenes. Including Falais, many of the great craftsmen who were supposed to leave after the competition stayed, wanting to see how far Fang Yuan could go?

So during the time when the Echnomers invaded the Long Lake area, the meeting of the alchemists became a good talk in Kaulin-Ihurian. There are even many master craftsmen who have come from other places to participate in this grand event.

After all, the top figures of each school may not have the opportunity to meet several times in a few years.

Fang Yu has seen more and more masters.

His knowledge and knowledge of alchemy grew at an almost visible rate.

If it weren't for the disproportionate amount of cognitive experience and the source of knowledge, he might have been able to move up the next level here, but even at that speed, it was incredible. Among the alchemists, there is now more and more discussion about him-

But there is a limit to working behind closed doors, and Fang Yu gradually felt that he was bottlenecked, and his cognitive experience was getting less and less, and he was about to run out.

And Dickett's letter also gave him the idea of leaving.

However, with a peach and a li, Fang Yu also has a plan in his heart.

"Speaking of which, President Ragnarok sent me a thank you note." He talked about it a little smugly.

"Isn't that Mr. Odin?" Kita asked in a whisper.

"The president of Ranagrok is more formal, but it's the king of warriors, and he says thank you for everything I've done for Ragnarok." Fang Yu was a little complacent, but he didn't take out the letter to show off—even though it was an electronic letterhead, he couldn't take it out.

However, he knew the reason why Odin was grateful to him, Van Rik's game was only secondary, and the more important thing was that he told Odin about the officials of the Super Athletic League in Rangarok in advance, so that the other party could react and not be too involved in what happened afterward.

Of course, losses are inevitable, but at least greater damage is avoided. Coupled with his teaching of Dill and Cui Yu, after the competition, he also specially trained several people for a period of time, including Yisi's group, and taught these people the basic knowledge of Noumerin Elven Alchemy.

It's a pity that the advanced content is too advanced, and he tried to let everyone try it, but in the end, he couldn't get one. The alchemy array that he could easily draw was really similar to the Book of Heaven in the eyes of everyone, so he could only regret saying goodbye to him.

However, after this incident, Cui Yu and Dill, as well as Is's group, all respectfully addressed him as a teacher afterwards, which made him uncomfortable for a while. Even the soul fingerprint wrote to thank him in private.

However, as for whether or not he would spread the skills of the Noumerin Elves, he didn't think too much about it.

After all, he had never thought of hiding his secrets, and after asking Anlothor, the master of Nevad only let him decide:

"The legacy of the Silver Tower needs to be inherited by a suitable heir, but how you use this knowledge is up to you."

These are his exact words.

But it can be seen that the other party appreciates his decision. The spark of inspiration is born in communication, and the pattern of self-cherishing of the broom will never create the alchemy of Aitalia today, and as an alchemist, Anlother is naturally well aware of this.

Kita couldn't help but hold her forehead, always feeling that her brother Ed was a little too embarrassed.

"Didn't Mr. Odin say anything else?"

"Nope."

This is exactly what Fang Yu is most satisfied with. Odin did not fail to ask him if he wanted to join the Rangarok, but after receiving a negative answer from him, he never asked a second time after that. This is not a muddy style, and it is clearly in stark contrast to a certain woman.

That's right, he's talking about a certain woman from Elite, Virus, who has been sending an email every three days since the Van Rik contest asking him if he wants to cooperate with Elite, and no matter how many times he refuses, the tone on the next letter is still exactly the same.

It made him suspect that the other party was copy-pasting at all.

This is also too much.

He was a little itchy and said to the two of them, "Miss Atira, Kita, let's go in first." ”

Attila nodded.

But before the three of them could step into the hall, a half-elf came up, stretched out his hand to stop them, and said with a slight smile: "Mr. Ed, may I take a step to speak?" ”

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, thinking about how this sounded so familiar, so he couldn't help but look at the latter with a little vigilance:

I saw that the man was wearing a long green shirt embroidered with silver edges, a brown vest, and underneath it were the hawksbill trousers commonly used by rangers, the 'Nature's String Demon' guide boots, a chameleon cloak, and a huge recurve bow on his back - the style of the magic furnace was also REM type, the Ranger military type magic furnace of the Kingfisher Workshop.

His first impression was, wow, this guy is really rich.

But before he could speak, a figure came diagonally from the side, stopped in front of him, separated him from the other party, and said coldly: "Luce, what are you doing here?" ”

Fang Yu looked at it and found that it was not who Momiji was.

The half-elf ranger was polite and replied, "As you can see, get to know Mr. Eddard." ”

"Ed, he doesn't need you to know."

Momiji was a little angry and blocked the other party, turned back to the other party and said, "Ed, Miss Atira, Kita, let's go." ”

The three of them were slightly stunned, glanced at the man, and still followed Momiji into the hall.

The half-elf ranger smiled and didn't stop it. Fang Yu glanced back, but he didn't see the other party following up—he turned around and asked a little confused, "Miss Red Leaf, who is that?" ”

"Nasty guy," Momiji replied. But she remembered Eugudora's advice again, sighed, and said to him in a softened tone: "Ed, Miss Atira, there are actually some things I am about to tell you - the guild, Sister Redsleeves, and the other high-ranking people have fallen out, and Tapolis is still nominally a guild now, but in essence it has been divided into two. ”

Kita let out a soft sigh when she heard this, and looked at the other party in disbelief.

Fang Yu was also a little taken aback, although he had heard some things about the internal struggle in Tapolis from Ji Ta and Luo Yu, he didn't expect it to evolve to such a point, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”

"It's not because of the Super Athletic League's rules that Tapolis is divided into two factions, one in favor of finding a capital injection and forming a full-fledged commercial club. On the other hand, the old men such as the President and Sister Redsleeve hope that the Oak Knights can stick to their original intentions. ”

"Those people are making a lot of trouble, there are a lot of people in the guild who support them, and the president can't unify everyone's opinions. In addition, the Super Athletic League occupies the commanding heights of public opinion, so we were very passive for a while. ”

"In the absence of a choice, Sister Redsleeves can only privately let those of us who are still on the side of the president be reduced to zero, and continue to maintain the existence of Tapolis in the name of large and small adventure groups. So if Tapolis is gone, but at least we're—"

Momiji then said, "So in fact, I won't be a member of Tapolis soon, you won't blame us, right?" ”

Fang Yu was extremely sympathetic to the decision of Yugudora and the other party's president, and he was always full of respect for those who adhered to the concept of freedom of the forerunners. He immediately replied, "What does the contract I signed with the Oak Knights have to do with Tapolis?" ”

Momiji looked at him a little surprised.

"Sister Red Sleeves did leave such a loophole in the contract she signed with you, I didn't expect you to see it?"

"Why do I see it!?" Fang Yu was sweating wildly, when did he see it, he was simply crooked. It's just that Kita and Luo Yu told him about the difference between Tapolis and the Oak Knights.

And Momiji was relieved to get his affirmative answer.

She replied, "Luce is on their side, and they were not optimistic about your adventure group and Luo Yu and Kita at first, and they have been attacking Sister Redsleeve's agreement to sign a contract with you in the first place. But after this incident, people see your potential, and they are not stupid, so they rush to please you. ”

"They're hateful." Kita frowned in disgust and whispered.

Fang Yu immediately excluded the other party from the meeting list, thinking that as soon as he opened his mouth, he was the one who borrowed a step to speak, and sure enough, there was no good bird.

"And what is this batch of materials?"

"We have now divided into twenty-two regiments, and I am the commander of the eleventh regiment, and since many people have gone to their side in Luce, only most of the backbone of these regiments remains. We had to absorb a lot of new people, and at the beginning of everything now, I was anxious to find a stable logistics channel, and Sister Red Sleeves recommended you to me. To be honest, I was also shocked when I found out it was you. I didn't want to pull you into the group at the beginning, but I didn't expect that in the end we would cooperate in such a way, it's really unpredictable. ”

When Fang Yu heard this, he wanted to help the other party, not only because he didn't know each other with Hongye, Liuliyue, and Wu Di, but also because he agreed with the concept of Yugudora and the other party's president: "Then what equipment do you need, you can give me a detailed list, and I will do my best." ”

Momiji was taken aback: "Wait a minute, you don't want to make me a batch of legendary equipment, I heard that you can make legendary equipment with a single gesture, that's too exaggerated." ”

"Is that an exaggeration?" Fang Yu thought to himself that there was something going on in the community. However, he couldn't help but think to himself, if everyone in the other party's regiment had a set of A+-level high-quality equipment, it would also be very interesting.

In that case, however, the production cycle may be a bit long.

"Actually, I have something to tell you about this material." Momiji said again at this time.

"How?"

Momiji opens the communication crystal, and the light projected on it interweaves into an avatar.

Fang Yu recognized that it was Eugudora.

The swordsman lady was obviously much haggard, but she couldn't help but smile when she saw him: "Ed, it turns out that the vision is really good." ”

Fang Yu was very embarrassed by the other party's roundabout compliment, and was very embarrassed and didn't know how to speak.

Yugudora smiled and said, "I heard you're going to build a floating ship, aren't you?" In this batch of materials, there is a batch of Mithril and Elven Vine, as well as Rock Shark Leather, which you may be able to use, and this is what I specially prepared for you. ”

Fang Yu was taken aback: "How can this work, there is no such content in the contract." ”

"It's not about the contract," Eugudora shook her head slightly, "Ed, what happened to Tapolis has taught us something. ”

She suddenly became a little serious: "Have you ever thought about a question?" ”

This sudden seriousness made Fang Yu stunned for a moment.

The other person spoke: "Do you remember the incident at Mount Covenant?" That was the beginning of the break between the low-level recruiters of the domestic competition and the guild alliance, and it was also a big hit at that time. Not long ago, there was a second Covenant Mountain incident, and even the Sea Witch joined it. The two Covenant Hill incidents have had a profound impact on our region. ”

Fang Yu nodded.

He also thought of Mia-

Two successive events on Mount Covenant, that was the voice of the silent majority.

Because of the resistance to bullying and arrogance, those free electees who were originally individuals chose to stand together at that moment. It is a movement that does not need to be organized by people, because the perception of justice and the yearning for universal good values in people's hearts are always the same.

Fang Yuan's heart couldn't help but feel a little agitated.

Yes, that's all he longed for.

But Eugudora sighed:

"The enthusiasm of the elective caller cannot last long, after all, each of us has our own life, and when the tide of opposition passes, everything quickly falls silent again. People are always forgetful, so that history repeats itself again and again, and perhaps in the near future, there will be a third Covenant Hill event, a fourth Covenant Hill event. But does it make sense, Eddard, have you ever wondered how the 'Descendants of Flor' continue to go their own way, even to the point where they can bully the weak, arrogant and indifferent, and disregard all that people cherish? ”

"That's because compared to the strength of individuals, the Guild Alliance is still too strong, even if it is the Rose Crusader, the Elite may remain neutral, but it will not be on the side of the free adventurers, probably only the Silver Vislan may think more about what justice is. There are too few such examples of the Covenant Hill incident. ”

Fang Yu thought for a moment and replied.

"Indeed," Momiji also replied, "Behind the Grand Guild is after all, a capital alliance that straddles several regions and borders, and even the Super Athletic Alliance serves them, and the voice of the Free Elector is too weak most of the time. ”

Hearing this, Kita couldn't help but ask, "Then why don't the Free Chosen ones unite together?" ”

"Isn't that Tapolis?" Momiji asked rhetorically.

Kita opened her mouth, her gaze behind the lenses of her glasses sparkling.

Fang Yu also sighed in his heart.

If he had asked the same question as Kita.

But now he won't. Ambassador Liao has made it clear that the rules of the game are difficult to change, and that the essence of hyper-competition is a zero-sum game.

Even if you leave the table angrily? It will only isolate yourself from the world. Or do you turn back the clock on history and return to the law of the jungle? But the great war that preceded the Chosen One had long taught people that this path was still not going to work.

It's not the optimal solution, but it's acceptable to everyone right now.

Under the framework of the Super Athletic League, if the Chinese division wants to compete with other divisions, it naturally depends on those clubs and guild alliances.

It is foreseeable that after the replacement of a group of officials, the Super Athletic League will still return. And this time will not be too long, after all, it is not only the alliance that has been shut down now, but also more than one hundred and thirty domestic guilds and clubs, large and small.

And now the existence of free guilds is not tolerated by the Super Athletic Alliance. Integrating domestic super competitive resources sounds good, but even the Free Guild will be hit by it, let alone a broad alliance of Free Electors?

Will the military help them?

The military maybe, but the help they can give them is extremely limited, just as the other party's intervention in the Covenant Mountain incident only saved the few players in the center of the vortex.

He suddenly understood the mood of Yugudora and the others at this moment. How sad is it that what has always been insisted on has once disappeared because of a powerful external force?

But Yugudora didn't seem too discouraged: "Actually, what Kita said is not unreasonable. ”

Fang Yu looked at the other party in surprise.

Then she said, "Ed, have you ever thought that the Free Chosen One can actually form a force? This force didn't even need to make a sound like the first and second Covenant Mountains, and its mere silence was enough to make the Guild Alliance shackle and cautious. ”

"You mean that a broad coalition has also formed among the Free Electors? But the Super Athletic League will not sit idly by, and although they are in some trouble now, they will always come back. ”

Eugudora smiled:

"That's exactly what I'm doing."

"Tapolis is scattered, but we are still Tapolis. A broad Freedom Front doesn't have to be in the form of guilds or alliances, the Super Athletic League can't bind us, and as long as we make sure we can make a unified voice at a critical moment, it also has potential power—"

Fang Yu was taken aback, and a bold thought swirled in his mind. "Wait, but how do you do that?"

"It's simple, Tapolis won't be an isolated example, Ed, and neither are you. Is it only you, me, Momiji, and the chairman who still remember the glory of the forerunners, no, I think many people still have ideals in their hearts. ”

She said word by word: "It's just that we need an opportunity to light them up." ”

Fang Yu's heart was shocked: "Light up ......?" ”

Eugudora nodded: "It's like the sea witch, like the opportunity in the first Covenant Mountain incident, people need a symbol that can bring them together, but such a symbol, Tapolis can't give - because our power is still too small and too small." Even a behemoth like the Eastern Communist Party can't do it, because it is too big and inappropriate, it has long forgotten the ideals of its ancestors, and it has just the name of the First Guild of Free Electors. ”

"So you know who that is?" "Actually, there are many, many such people in the Great Guild, but there are very few among the free electors. The only ones who are likely to do this in the future are you and Loofah. ”

"Me and Loofah?"

"Yes, but Loofah likes to work against the Alliance, but she's so eccentric that people recognize her strengths but don't approve of many of her practices. And you, Eddard, you may not know what you mean among the Free Electors, only because people don't know that you are one of them—"

"A lot of people see you as a rising star of Ragnarok or Silver Veslan, but even so, after Van Rik's war, you have quite a lot of love and support among the Free Electors. Because in the past ten years, in the backwater of the domestic competition, only you and Loofah have been born as the hope for the future in the mouths of the two people. ”

"Loofah is much more unknown at this age than you, and she only became known after leaving the Rosary Crusade. So, do you know how much of a sensation you would make if you revealed your identity as a free caller? ”

"You will be an example and a model for the free elect."

Fang Yu opened his mouth, thinking that it was so exaggerated?

Yugudora nodded slightly, "And your problem now is to leave Kaulin-Ishurian first." ”

"Leaving Kaulin-Ishurian?"

"It's not a literal departure. Rather, it's because to leave Kaulin-Ishurian, you first need to have your own team, and to have a real party, you first need to have your own floating ship, and that's the first step. ”

"When people come together around you and become a team, your current fame can truly become your own voice. Ed, ever since you rejected the invitation of Momiji and Wu Di, I know that you and I are different from the president, you and the previous president of Tapolis, the previous president, are the same kind of people as those pioneers. ”

"You're a free elector, so Eddard, are you willing to speak up for yourself and for those who are with you?"

"So don't be in a hurry to say no, it's not the potential and talent that you lack, it's time, because time is too precious for us. It is also time for the Free Chosen to make their voices heard, and each of us must be held accountable for our own future. ”

She replied word by word, "These materials are not just for you, Eddard, but belong to that ideal." ”

Fang Yu was a little quiet.

Actually, that's exactly what he thinks.

Owning a float ship is the first step for him to break free from all restraints and go to the second world, as long as he has a floatship, he will no longer be influenced by the descendants of Flor or the dragon worship. As long as he takes this step, he will one day be a little full-fledged.

Then, will he recreate the era of freedom and exploration that he longs for?

He had never thought about this before, because the world was changing all the time, and how easy was it to go back to the past. He just wants to have a little dream of his own, and he just wants to be alone. But at this moment, Yugudora's words seemed to open Pandora's box and ignite a fire in his heart.

That little ambition is burning.

Maybe he didn't have the power to catch it.

But just being involved in such a thing is enough to make people feel excited.

Fang Ou looked back and saw Miss Ettila looking at her, with respect for her own opinion in her eyes—the elven girl was like looking at her own brother, she had clung too tightly in the past—but she suddenly understood that young people would always leave their hometown one day.

She nodded slightly.

Fang Yu took a deep breath before calming down his heart:

"If I had the chance, I would stand with the people, Miss Eugudora."

"It's just that thinking about it now is too far away for me."

Hearing this, Yugudora was very calm, and did not mean to be rejected: "What about these Mithril? ”

Fang Yu nodded: "I'll take Mithril." ”

Because Eugudora was right, what he lacked was time.

Hypocrisy is always the least necessary than those more important things, and as a captain, he must first learn to take responsibility for making decisions.
