A year later, Eternal Night still remembers that voice vividly, and remembers how it commanded Fenris during their underground battle.

He couldn't help but look to the side, only to see that the expression on Heavenly Flower's face was also lost, and the other party's reaction was almost exactly the same as him, and he also came in this direction. And as soon as the eyes of the two met, Heavenly Flower Luo couldn't help but lose his voice and said, "Is it him?" ”

Eternal Night rushed over first, parting the crowd, "Please give way." "Excuse me." Paradise Blossom Fall followed, and the two were busy apologizing to the people around them. But when he walked to the front of the crowd, Eternal Night found that only the old sailor was packing his things, and the owner of the voice seemed to have left.

He immediately looked up and around, and suddenly a ghostly figure fell into his field of vision, and the woman's back only swayed in the crowd for a moment, and then disappeared.

"How's it going, do you see him?" Paradise Flower Fall was only one step behind him and walked out of the crowd, but he just missed this scene.

"It's her!" Eternal Night shouted excitedly. His voice trembled a little, and he still remembered the girl beside 'Char', although the other party was wearing a veil at that time, but the back at that moment would never be wrong.

"She?" Heavenly Flower Fall was slightly stunned, and there was a distinction between feminine and masculine words in Kaulin's language, so he could hear the difference in the semantics of his partner at once.

But Eternal Night didn't have time to answer him, so he shouted in that direction repeatedly: "Mr. Char! ”

It's a pity that the crowd on the dock is rolling and the sound is noisy, and the shout has not been heard far.

Fang Yu looked back a little confused, always feeling as if a voice was calling him, but it was not calling his name. But there is a lot of traffic behind him, the sound of people, the sound of cranes, the sound of sailors' bargaining, the sound of disputes, the sound of trumpets, one after another, how can there be any shouting?

Thinking he was hallucinating, he turned back and muttered, "Didn't Mr. Baggins say you can find people on the docks, why didn't the sailor just ignore us?" ”

"Probably because he recognizes you as a Kaulin," Sylvid replied with a smile, "Most of the Guta don't like to see the Kaolin people, and it's normal not to do business with us." ”

"If you meet someone with a bad temper, you might even do it." In the crowd, Sky Blue added.

Sylvade smiled and nodded.

"Then it's a good thing he didn't do it." Fang Yu said angrily, he was not afraid of an old sailor—he just ridiculed the other party for no reason, which made him very unhappy.

But he knew why.

The Guta have a long history of invading the eastern coast of Kaulin as pirates, but with the rise of magic technology, the Kaulin have turned the tide.

In the past three centuries, the Korin Kingdom has conquered the ancient tower many times, and although the ancient tower pirates have brought great disasters to the Korin people, the Korin kingdom that invaded the ancient tower may not dare to say that they are innocent.

Wars always bring misfortune, especially since these wars are not necessarily about revenge for piracy, and as for what will happen in the wars of this era, you can imagine it with your toes.

On the other hand, while the servant brought domination, it also brought civilization, and the Guta people were freed from the primitive life of tribes and pirates, and entered the dynastic era.

also has its own country -

It's just that the root of the grievances between the two sides has been deeply planted from the beginning.

A casual description of the community can roughly describe the entanglement and intricate relationship between the two countries. But Fang Yu is not interested in this, what he cares about is the present:

"So what do we do?"

"What if no one in this place is going to do business with us? But the people on the 'blood boat' from Fenris are always Korin, so why do the locals do business with them? ”

"That's because we've got the wrong person," Sylved replied, "Captain, the locals aren't happy to talk to us, but the Chamber of Commerce is different. ”

"Chamber of Commerce?"

Sylvid nodded: "Merchants pursue profit and fulfill Lady Roman's principles, and as for the grievances between countries, it seems to them to be another level. In fact, whether it is the Stag Chamber of Commerce, the Tulip Chamber of Commerce or the Black Wood Chamber of Commerce, they are all open to do business with outsiders. ”

"Who are these three chambers of commerce?"

"Those are the three largest aristocratic chambers of commerce in Guta, in Guta, you can see the guild halls of these three chambers of commerce in any port, and the investors behind them are actually the noble families of Guta."

Sylvede seemed to know everything about this, and elaborated:

"The Stag Chamber of Commerce represents the royal family of Guta, and the stag is the emblem of the royal family; Behind the Tulip Chamber of Commerce is the religious power of the ancient tower, the ancient people believe in the god of war Marlan, the story of the tulip and the wolf is widely spread here, and the tulip is taken from the moral of this story. ”

Fang Yu has roughly heard the story of tulips and wolves, and that story is roughly about the story of a young girl who used tulips to save an injured and dying winter wolf-

That maiden is the ancestor of the Guta people, the mother of all Guta, Norra, and the wolf is the embodiment of Marlan, the goddess of war, and is the goddess's test for Norra.

Of course, these myths are far from being known, and no one can prove their authenticity, but it is true that the people of Guta still believe that tulips contain magical powers that can heal death.

Fang Yu himself was inclined to think that this legend was made up by the Ancient Tower Temple in order to prove his legitimacy, of course, he only dared to think about this in his heart, otherwise Lady Marlan and the Ancient Tower Temple would make him unable to eat and walk around.

"What about the rest of the Blackwood Chamber of Commerce?" He asked again.

"It's a chamber of commerce established by several great noble families, and this one is the most developed of the three," Sylved replied, "and as for some small chambers of commerce, don't mention them." ”

Fang Yu nodded after hearing this, if these three chambers of commerce were all open to do business, then as his ship officer said, they had nothing to worry about.

At this time, Luo Hao on the side suddenly interjected: "In fact, the reason why the three major chambers of commerce are like this is not just due to profit. The people of Guta did not like the kingdom of Kaolin, but the nobles of the two countries did not think so. Let's not forget that the rulers of the Huntingson dynasty, who are actually descendants of the Duke of Heisen, are genuine Cowlings. ”

He continued: "Although today's Guta royal family rebelled against the tyrant's rule and came to power, but the 'throne stealer' Charlie is not a commoner, and Guta itself has no nobles, so his ancestors must be after a certain nobleman in Kaulin. In fact, most of the Cowling nobles also agreed with this, otherwise there would be no later marriages. ”

The Duke of Heisen, as he called him, was the first ruler of the Ancient Tower, and it is recorded in the history books of the Ancient Pagoda that the Duke crossed the sea, led the army all the way in, and established the duchy in the area of today's Iron Castle.

That's where the kingdom of Guta came from today, and so the Duke of Heison is also called the conqueror, but that happened three centuries ago.

As for Charlie, the 'stealer', the ancestor of the current royal family of Guta, who died more than forty years ago, he was a vassal of the Huntingson dynasty and sought to seize the throne of the head of his family, so he was given such a title among the nobles of Cowling.

However, that was already a few generations old, and the last monarch of the Huntingson dynasty died at the hands of the mob, and no one in his family was spared, so the royal family of Cowling had to hold their nose and admit the inheritance of Charles and his descendants.

Fang Yu also knew about this history from the community, but at the moment he was in the ancient tower, combined with what he saw now, he had a different feeling.

As with all similar ports in Aitalia, the Chamber of Commerce is located in an area not far from the docks, and the logos of the three major chambers are at their most prominent.

The logo of the Stag Chamber of Commerce is a deer head hanging from the sign, with long horns and gray pupils, not like a sculpture carved out of wood, but more like a specimen made of nitrate. The logo of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce is the most ornate of the three major chambers of commerce, although it is just a blooming tulip, but it is outlined with gold leaf on silver powder, which looks gorgeous and not vulgar.

Only the logo of the Black Wood Chamber of Commerce is the simplest, which is just a black cedar leaf. However, although the logo is simple, the hall of the Blackwood Chamber of Commerce is the largest and most magnanimous, so that people can see at a glance who has the final say here.

But underneath the logos of these three chambers of commerce, Fang Yu saw an 'old acquaintance'.

He had seen the emblem in the Traveler's Rest, in Elpahim and in Goland—it was actually a black goat's head carved into a wooden board, plain. The Black Goat Chamber of Commerce's main business was in the Cloud Sea, and he had seen the same emblem as far as a small town north of the Masonke Creek station, and no further south.

But Fang Yu didn't expect that he would see the logo of the Black Goat Chamber of Commerce here again, although it was a little natural to think about it, this port was actually around the Cloud Sea. However, the business of the Black Goat Chamber of Commerce actually made Gutalai, which still surprised him.

As soon as he saw the black goat, he couldn't help but think of the middle-aged man he had seen in the Traveler's Rest, the initial journey of the Seven Seas Brigade, and the various encounters of Dorifin. I also remembered the young man named Rune thirty years ago.

He couldn't help but look back, only to find that the rest of the team was also looking at him—Luo Hao, Tang Xin, and Alyssa, they hadn't experienced Dorifin's affairs, but Sky Blue and Kita, as well as Pak Luo Yu, remembered it clearly.

"It's the Black Goat Chamber of Commerce!" Tianlan couldn't help but let out a sigh of surprise, "I didn't expect to meet a chamber of commerce opened by an acquaintance here, it's good now, no matter whether the three chambers of commerce that Sister Sylvede said are willing to do business with us, at least we can rest assured, maybe we can get a discount or something." ”

Fang Yu glanced at the little girl a little speechlessly, although they had a one-sided relationship with Lu En in Dorifin, but the other party had never said a few words to them from beginning to end. Even if you look at Mazak's relationship and look at them differently, the other party is not necessarily in this place.

They know the president of the Black Goat Chamber of Commerce, but the ordinary staff of the Black Goat Chamber of Commerce may not know them, as for the discount or something, just think about it.

Of course, Tianlan is right in saying that the Kaulin people have a chamber of commerce residence in this place, which does save them a lot of trouble.

After all, the shopkeeper is not just talking about bullying customers, and the three local chambers of commerce may slaughter these outsiders who have a good life as fat sheep.

Now, you don't have to think about it so much.

It's just that before entering the station of the Black Goat Chamber of Commerce, even Fang Yu himself didn't expect that it was just the opposite of his guess - the staff of the Chamber of Commerce not only knew them, but the moment they walked into the Chamber of Commerce's residence, the other party seemed to have recognized them.

It is conceivable that the scale of the Black Goat Chamber of Commerce in such a place is naturally not very large, and there is not even a hall inside, at best it is just an office.

There was only one staff member inside, and when they entered the door, the man was still writing on the table with his head buried in his head, and only when he heard the sound did he raise his head to look in this direction.

The man had typical Guta features in appearance, with high cheekbones that made his face look extremely serious.

However, when the ancient tower people saw them, a hint of surprise flashed in their solemn expressions, and then they stood up in disbelief.

"You're Mr. Eddard?"

This sudden question immediately made Fang Yu and the others stop, looking at each other in a little surprise.

Luckily, it was the Ancient Tower, and if he were in Cowlin-Ishurian, he would probably have to flee with the rest of the men except Crosswind.

But here, he just stopped, looked at each other suspiciously, and quickly calmed down and asked, "Your Excellency?" ”

The man raised his eyebrows, and quickly replied, "Mr. Ed, since you have come to this place, how can you not know who we are?" Don't worry, this is the Ancient Tower, and even if someone recognizes you, they won't be able to do anything to you. Mr. Ed, the president has already told us? ”

Fang Yu thought to himself that this was not an ancient tower, I am afraid that you would not be able to stand and speak for a long time now. However, he had already roughly reacted and asked, "Your president, Mr. Rune-Lincius?" ”

"Exactly."

Fang Yu was slightly stunned, and couldn't help frowning, in his impression, Lu En was not such a frivolous person, how could he easily reveal their affairs to his subordinates?

The president of the Black Goat Chamber of Commerce should not be unaware of the stakes of their ID numbers.

And even if they weren't wanted yet, Nicol Bolas's affair was kept strictly secret.

Or is it that the other party is actually Lune's henchman, and they happened to meet here?

Seeing that he was silent, the staff member took the lead in talking: "Mr. Ed, please understand Mr. President, the reason why he informed us of your matter is also a matter of difficulty. And rest assured, apart from the stations of a few key nodes near the Cloud Sea, the chairman has not informed too many people, and I assure you that these people are loyal and reliable, and will never leak any rumors. ”

Fang Yu couldn't help but raise his head when he heard this, not quite understanding what the other party meant.

However, Sylvid helped him with the question: "You said that he only notified these key nodes near the Cloud Sea, what does that mean?" ”

"I don't quite understand," the Guta man shook his head, "but now that I think it should be Mr. President, the path you must take to the north, not only in this place, but in Goland, in Yunligang, as long as you land in the port, Mr. Ed, we will soon find out." ”

Fang Yu was not a little surprised: "Wait, there are still your men in the port." ”

"That's natural, Mr. Ed, but our business has shrunk quite a bit over the past few months. The main task he has given us is to find you. ”

"Find us?" Even Luo Hao was a little confused at this time, although he had not experienced the battle of Dorifin, but he had heard Fang Yu and others describe the battle afterwards, and he also knew what role this President Lu played in it.

But this role is obviously a bit different from the current one.

"Yes," the staff nodded, looking at them, "Actually, this message was left by Mr. President a few months ago, and he only told us to keep an eye on your movements as much as possible, and told us that if you go north, there is a good chance that you will travel for a few days." ”

He smiled, "But to be honest, I didn't expect you to go to the ancient tower first, I wasn't ready to receive you. It doesn't look like the guy in the harbor has come back either, he's either on his way back or just missed it with you. ”

Fang Yu heard it in a fog, and couldn't help but ask: "But I still don't understand, it's true that we know Mr. Lune, but what are you looking for us for?" ”

"Two things," replied the staff, "Mr. Ed must have gone north to hand over something to the president, right?" ”

Fang Yu nodded, if a piece of news was a thing, in addition, they had to return the Golden Flame Ring to Mazak for the loss of power.

- If it is returned to Mazak, it will be handed over to him.

"Then you don't have to go."

The staff looked at them and replied bluntly.

"What?" Fang Yu was very surprised: "Why is this?" ”

The other party shook his head: "I don't know the specifics, but this is the order of Mr. President." More importantly, Mr. President mentioned that by the time you return, he and Mr. Mazak may no longer be at the Traveler's Rest. ”

Fang Yu opened his mouth, as if listening to a story of the Arabian Nights. The reason why they went south was because Mazak had commissioned them to deliver a letter and give the Ring of Golden Flame to the old gentleman who was in Goland.

But in fact, the old gentleman also told them that this was actually a task and test given to them by the master of the Traveler's Rest, in order to follow Nicol Bolas's path north all the way south to investigate the truth behind the Dragon Witch incident that year.

Now they have done this perfectly, not only to free Mazak and Lady Misu's ancestor, the dragon-slaying hero Joshoud, with his lover, but also to restore the restless soul to the serene starlight.

And also defeated the Wanderers.

Although he didn't do his job, it was obvious that it would be difficult for the other party to come out again in a short period of time.

Now that it's finally time for them to gather up what happened along the way and report them to the provider of this task, the person in front of them actually told them that they don't need to?

So what is the purpose of their 'work' over the past year?

It was only as if the staff member seemed to see their confusion that he spoke again, "That's one of those things, Mr. Eddard." The other, more important thing, is that the President has something for us to give you. ”

“…… Maybe that thing can answer your doubts. ”
