Chapter 19: Gray Notice I
Naturally, the commotion in the harbor also attracted the attention of the people of the Hailin Chamber of Commerce, who were loading supplies in the harbor, and reported it through the aboriginal sailors, and reached Lair's ears.
Several of the core members of the Descendants of Flor were talking about the Art Fight Guild, and the defeat of Tus made them feel a little embarrassed, and instead of retaliating, they took a person in, making several of them feel a little embarrassed.
"Wanted?" Lair asked, looking at the Aboriginal sailor.
The sailor nodded.
"Do you see clearly?"
"I can see it more clearly, sir."
Lair shook his head, even if it was really those people, it was such a coincidence, but for them, it was also the task of the moment that was more important.
But it was at this time that his communication crystal lit up. Lair waved his hand to signal the sailor to leave, then picked up the communication crystal, listened to the serious voice coming from inside, and replied:
"It's me, Lair."
"Lair, there's an urgent mission for you."
The look on Lair's face was serious at first, but a hint of surprise gradually flashed in his eyes, and after a while, he finally couldn't help but ask, "What about our mission?" ”
"It's the highest priority."
There was a hint of irrefutable in the tone of the voice.
Lair was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly. He nodded a few more times before extinguishing the communication crystal.
The others had already noticed the movement here, and when he put down the crystal, someone raised his head and asked, "Big L, what's wrong?" ”
Lair looked up at the others. "Don't you want to take revenge, here's your chance."
"What's the situation?" Everyone was surprised, their captain was a person whose current goal priority was above all else, and the sun came out in the west?
"Those people are wanted in Orense City, let's go out and get a hand." Lair is succinct and to the point.
"Those people?"
"That's what you think."
"Wait, what about our mission, what's missing?"
Lair looked at the others and replied word for word, "This is also an order from the Alliance. ”
……
The Seven Seas Traveler is gliding out of the Floating Island Whale and heading towards the lower reaches of the harbor.
The Plover's tactic of lowering the ship worked, and Tarn's massive branches blocked the range of the harbor's artillery fire, shielding them from the threat overhead.
With Chest, Parker, Baggins, and Sylvid working together, the Seven Seas Traveler is sailing into the shadow of the tower's giant tree.
As a result, several magic towers on the side of Orenze also lost their effectiveness.
The Wyvern Knight was the first to catch up.
The huge and powerful iron-feathered pterosaur spread its wings and bared its claws, and the knight on its back stabbed out its spear.
The wind was blowing, but the maid with her long hair coiled up stood motionless on the deck like a javelin, except for the tips of her ears fluttering.
She raised her massive gauntlet, grasped the tip of her spear, and pulled the dragon knight off her saddle and threw it off the other side of the ship.
The iron-feathered pterodactyl, having lost its center of gravity, crashed into the mast, flapped its wings a few times and flew high, finding itself without its rider, circled a few times in the sky and flew away in the direction of Orenze.
With a dagger in one hand and a magic guide in the other, Baggins leapt from the mast and landed on the back of the iron-feathered pterodactyl as the Wyvern Knight pounced.
The dragon knight didn't even react to what was happening, and reflexively went to fight with the other party, but saw that the other party actually untied the saddle with one free hand, and cut and pulled it on the belt with a knife.
He suddenly screamed miserably, and rolled into the sea of clouds with the saddle.
The boatswain straightened up, grasped the iron feather of the pterosaur in one hand, and shot it in the eye socket.
The beast let out a wail and struggled in mid-air, and the latter let go and grabbed a cable that crossed it.
It was even easier on the other side of the box, raising the short staff, grabbing the spear that Shesta had thrown on the ground with his strong field hand, and throwing it back.
The knight on the back of the pterosaur was caught off guard, and was directly stabbed in the face, and crashed into the deck with the dragon.
Fang Ou took a look at the battle and let Miss Tata take over the heavy crossbows on both sides of the ship.
With Miss Fairy's control over the Nanami Traveler, it was almost impossible to get close to a target within a certain range of the ship.
For a time, those self-operating heavy crossbows became the most terrifying nightmare of the Wyvern Knights.
Those heavy crossbows are the best constructed crossbows that the Tansnir Artisan Guild can find, and they require the output energy level of the magic guide furnace to be more than twenty-seven, and the output energy level of the magic guide furnace is equivalent to its level, and even the Paparals have to install another enhancement plug-in to use it, these heavy crossbows are far enough to break through the dragon knight's not too heavy armor.
The Wyvern Knights had to disperse, and the Griffin Knights did not dare to join the battle group easily for a while, flying far away.
More critically, of course, as the Seven Seas Traveler descended further in height, they had sunk below the land edge.
In the distance, the majestic roots of the giant tree Tarn were clearly visible, and at this altitude, it was difficult for the small flying creatures to continue descending.
Only two harbour-side windboats caught up.
Fang Plover saw three more ships in the other direction, which were the follow-up troops sent by the Orenze.
With a flash of fire, the enemy opened fire, but the shell slashed far above the head of the Nanami Traveler.
In this classical era, due to the lack of electronic computers, the guns on the windboat still only have some mechanical fire control based on differential devices, but that is already such an efficient equipment for the naval warships of various countries, in fact, most of the windboats still rely on human observation and calculation.
And because there is one more coordinate axis than on the earth, the landing correction is more than an order of magnitude higher than on the earth, so the hit rate of long-distance shooting between ships can be imagined.
That's more like trying your luck.
However, as the party with an absolute disadvantage, Fang Yu didn't want to let the other party touch the prize endlessly. For the party who draws the prize, the probability of winning the lottery is a few tenths of a thousandth, but for them, it is zero and one hundred percent. He didn't want the Seven Seas Traveler to be shot for no reason, and that wouldn't hurt him to death.
He turned back and said to the others:
"Hide under those roots."
……
The captain of the Bobtail Sturgeon lowered his binoculars.
At the same time, the sailors on the lookout above came to the same conclusion, shouting:
"They're heading under the giant tree!"
"Captain, do you want to keep firing?"
The captain nodded, he had roughly estimated that his ship would be able to fire about three rounds before the other party entered those labyrinthine roots.
"Chain-changing bullets." He looked back and said.
Although the hit rate of chain shells is lower, one or two ordinary shells may not make the opponent incapacitated, and the chain bullets are different, and the opponent's time to change sails is enough for them to catch up.
If you hit the mast, it's like hitting the jackpot.
As he spoke, a bright fire flashed from the flanks of the Wind Dolphin not far away.
He raised his binoculars and looked at the shape of the cannon flame, and couldn't help but curse angrily: "This old guy." The other party not only thought of him, but also moved faster than him.
But it was at this time, in the narrow field of view of the telescope, that he suddenly saw a commotion on the Wind Dolphin.
"Something's coming!"
Before he could figure out what was happening, he heard his deputy shout in shock.
He subconsciously put down the binoculars, turned around, and saw a faint black shadow falling from the harbor above the five ships in the front and back of the air, and the black shadow seemed to be able to control the direction of his fall, and landed accurately on the Barkini at the rear.
At least a thousand people in the harbor witnessed the scene.
The shadow stopped on the Barkini and turned towards several other ships, and in a few take-offs and landings, it came to the mainmast of the short-tailed sturgeon.
The captain looked up at the other party, and then he saw that it was a black-haired young man.
The young man stood on top of the mast, bowed his head, and said to them, "Everyone, do me a favor. ”
……
The chain bullet fired from the Wind Dolphin did not hit the Nanami Traveler.
The wind was strong below the airport, and the crosswinds had long since lost sight of where the chain bombs were blowing.
However, the violent air currents could not blow away the clouds and mist that persisted all year round below the land edge.
The Seven Seas Traveler is less than a chain away from the roots of the giant tree.
There is no sign of the Wyvern Knight or Griffin Knight above the empty sea at this moment. At this height, the wind element has become so thick that small creatures are supported upward by buoyancy - except for creatures like humans, who have little elemental affinity in their bodies.
The Seven Seas Traveler's Guy generator also stopped absorbing the wind element, moving to release mode and creating an elemental airspace in case people with wind elemental adaptation on the ship floated up.
There were only a few ships from the port of Tarn, still hanging far behind.
But it was at this time that Fang Yu saw that the actions of those boats were a little strange.
Suddenly, strangely, they stopped firing and scattered.
One of the windboats also slowly approached the giant tree Tarn.
"They are forcing us to continue to descend," Luo Hao understood the other party's intentions, "Below is the wind element layer, past the element layer, it is the ...... of the deep sea"
"Tarn's roots lead to the Rim Gap, where the Empire descended from below the ridge during the Battle of Byrne, and the Specks of Osiris were left behind in that battle." He said, "After that, the Orenzee people used the Great Circle spell to block the land edge below, and there should be a dead end in front of ......."
"The Great Circle?" Ai asked curiously.
The box had been wounded in the previous battle, bleeding from an arm, and she and Tang Xin bandaged each other after a brief treatment.
The young man had a cold face and did not say a word.
But Ai Xiaoxiao's operation method is too strange, and he sometimes breaks out in a cold sweat and grins his teeth.
Luo Hao looked at the pain, took two steps back respectfully, and replied: "A spell similar to the Mystery Lock Enchantment, in short, it is not something we can unravel. ”
Everyone couldn't help but look at Fang Yuan.
Fang Yu was silent for a moment before he said, "Then we will pass through the wind elemental layer, continue to descend, and go to the Abyssal Sea——"
"To the deep sea?" Parker almost slipped his hand and fell off the mast, where he hung and exaggeratedly exclaimed, "I said you weren't crazy, did you?" ”
It was so crazy that everyone looked at him in surprise, and for a moment no one but the Paparals spoke.
Not to mention that passing through the wind elemental layer itself is full of unknown dangers, and below the elemental layer is a static wind belt similar to the stratosphere.
There, the wind elemental cannot be retained, the Guy generator cannot function, and it is an absolute forbidden area for air and sea creatures and wind ships.
There is only one substance that can anchor to this space, and that is the world where the anchor stone was born.
Except for a few places where there are umbilical cord-like 'wind bridges' between the empty sea layer and the abyssal sea layer in Aitalia, most of the area under the air sea is such a forbidden area.
And those places are also called the gates to hell, but below Orenze, there are obviously no such doors.
Fang Plover looked at the sky above that was gradually obscuring the roots of the giant tree, where Tarn Harbor was sending out more men.
More than a dozen windboats were slowly descending from that direction.
He turned around and replied, "Navigating through the wind elemental layer isn't as dangerous as you think, especially since the Seven Seas Traveler is actually a dragon knight build. ”
"But what about after passing through the wind elemental layer?" Luo Yu's voice came out of the microphone.
He had apparently heard the discussion in the wizard cabin as well.
"Indeed, what about the Static Wind layer below?" Luo Hao asked.
Fang Yu looked a little calm:
"The Quiet Wind Belt is not continuous, which is why there is such a thing as a wind bridge, in fact, not only in the areas where there are gates, but there are similar passages in many places, but these passages do not lead to the real abyssal sea."
Fang Yu paused, "They are called false wind bridges, and they lead to closed areas, but those places should have been part of the deep sea at one time. Remember the island that appeared off the coast of Orenze ten years ago, it must have come from such a place? ”
Luo Hao heard the meaning of his words, "So you guess that there is at least one or more paths similar to this under Orenze." ”
Fang Yu glanced at the fat man of the military with some surprise, and nodded, "It doesn't matter if these pathways are true or not, as long as they can get us out of trouble." ”
"How sure are you?"
"Of us, Sylvid is the only one who has ever been to the Abyssal Sea, and this plan was actually proposed by her, and she is sure that she will find those pathways in the lower levels of the elemental layer." Fang Yu replied.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but believe it.
Since Miss Ship Officer promised, there is still some credibility.
What's more, everyone knows that Sylvid has indeed been to the depths of the sea. Not only did he go, but he also returned with his own people, and he also brought back the map on the obelisk.
After everyone unanimously agreed to this proposal, they no longer hesitated, and each returned to his own post and performed his own duties.
However, the Seven Seas Traveler had just sailed under the roots of the giant tree, and the sky blue above the lookout suddenly shouted, "Brother Ed, something has come down!" ”
Then Fang Yu heard Miss Scholar's somewhat nervous voice coming from the microphone: "Leader, a huge elemental reaction has been detected. ”
Their second-hand detector can only detect the wind element reaction, but the previous wind boats of the Orenze people are not huge in the display on the element detector, what does the huge reaction mean?
Did the Orenzeites send a cruiser of the fifth rank or higher to catch them?
But there doesn't seem to be any such a big ship in Tarn Harbor, except for the Floating Island Whale.
Fang Yu couldn't help but look up, just in time to see that on the windboat that had just approached the giant tree Tarn, a small black dot suddenly separated.
The black dot plummeted down to the trunk of the giant tree Tarn, but instead of shattering himself as he had imagined, it leaped high again.
In a few vertical leaps, the figure of the other party has been clearly revealed, it is a person.
Fang Yuan's eyes almost darkened when he saw this scene, he only felt that the blood all over his body was flowing upstream, it was not unseen that he had never seen such a person flying lightly above the empty sea, the wind element was just adaptable.
But if the weightlifting is so light, he has only seen one, and that is Miya. And the person who came at this moment was obviously not the silver-haired girl, so there was only one possibility left-
The Superior, or the Dragon Knight.
Are the Orenzeites crazy?
An extremely terrifying thought flashed through Fang Yuan's mind at that moment, the only aboriginal above level forty-five in Orense City was the only one who was Archon Hyrant.
The other party actually took action in person?
He didn't care about anything else, but shouted wildly: "Sylvid, bring down the Seven Seas Traveler!" ”
Regardless of whether they are prepared or not, they can only survive if they descend below the wind elemental layer at the moment. How terrifying a superior person is, with their current rank, is really difficult to accurately describe.
Ye Hua was alone, and he could snipe the king of sand thieves, Mahazar, from the army of ten thousand, and the latter did not even dare to face him.
But you must know that in terms of the strength of this king of sand thieves, it is not inferior to Qin Zhi, who suppressed the entire group of Dawn Star by himself, and even far surpasses.
And today's Seven Seas Brigade is only about half the strength of the Dawn Star.
This is still in terms of the combat effectiveness of most of the members of the Seven Seas Brigade, which is beyond their level.
Although he had fought one of the dragon knights of the Fleur Descendants in Idus, it was not him, but R. What's more, if the other party really goes all out, even with R's help, ten of him is not enough for the other party to fight.
But after a full fight, the other party only made a serious shot at that time, and then let him go, which should also be the reason for recognizing R.
Fang Yu was not really arrogant enough to think that the dragon knight was nothing more than that.
It's just that he still shouted a little late.
The other party jumped again, falling vertically from mid-air, slashing nearly a thousand feet high.
The next moment, it had landed firmly on the deck of the Seven Seas Traveler, between him and the ship's master lady above the stern.
To Fang Yuan's surprise, the other party was not the Archon of Orenze, Hyrant Lycia, whom he had known from the data, but a young man with black hair and black eyes.
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, not to mention the other party's appearance, there is only one possibility for a superior person at this age.
Electors.
But the next moment, he saw the emblem pinned to the neckline of the other party - Bounty Hunter, an official of the Holy Flame Guild, Fang Yu remembered clearly, it was one of the few great guilds among the descendants of Flor.
Without thinking about it, he immediately pulled out his magic guide from under his coat, and at the same time, several silver constructs fell from under his coat and buzzed into the air.
But someone is faster than him.
That's Luo Hao and Baggins.
Luo Hao pulled out the flying axe with his backhand and threw it at the opponent with an axe across the mast. At the same time, the boatswain raised his magic bolt and opened fire with his hammer, and in the burst of fire and smoke, he drew his scimitar and lunged at him.
But before the bullets and the spinning axe could reach the black-haired youth, Fang Yu didn't even see the movement of the opponent's hand, and the axe flew back upside down and cut into the mast.
On the other side, the lead bullet only exploded into a cloud of sparks, and the black-clothed young man pushed it with his hand, and Baggins flew out of thin air and fell on the deck.
Seeing this scene, the sky blue on the observation deck sighed.
Isn't that the usual trick of the chest?
Speaking of the box, when the middle-aged young man saw this scene, he had actually pulled out his thin sword in his hand, turned into a black shadow, and shot towards the young man.
The black-haired youth snorted softly when he saw him, and flicked his sword back, blocking the Imperial Glow. At the same time as the sparks were scattered, the other hand of the box was already holding the short staff and pointing at the other party.
A purple glow shot towards the opponent's magic furnace. But before he could hit it, the black-haired youth turned into a silver light and disappeared, and the next moment he appeared behind the box.
He slashed at the box with a sword, but only a phantom shadow was slashed, and the boy's figure also turned into nothingness in a silver glow, and when he reappeared, it was already on the side of the black-haired young man.
The black-haired young man immediately returned to the sword, and Dangdang exchanged three swords in a row with the box, while the first two swords were still on the defensive, and the third sword had turned from defense to offense.
By the time of the fourth sword, the box was unstoppable, so it had to repeat its old trick, disappear in a glow, and then appear ten feet away.
These rounds of attacks were obviously exhausting, and he gasped heavily, but still gritted his teeth, raised his sword, and prepared to attack again.
Fang Yu watched this round of wonderful attacks from the side, and almost didn't look stupid, wondering if he had read the wrong box? Why haven't I seen each other for a few days, but the other party can actually fight back and forth with a top master?
But it was at this time that the black-haired young man suddenly raised his hand:
"Okay, I'm going to do it when you come again."
His words couldn't help but make everyone slightly stunned.
However, the black-haired young man's gaze swept over, and finally landed on Fang Yuan, a trace of surprise flashed in his dark eyes, and he looked Fang Yu up and down before he spoke: "You are Columba, I've been looking for you for a while." ”
Fang Yu was immediately taken aback, and immediately looked at the other party as if he had been hit by petrification magic.
Columba was his first ID on top of the community, and generally speaking, only R knew about it.
