The sphere held in his hand, the texture of the surface of the iron shell was curved, like a crumpled orange, with some weight, sinking slightly.

Fang Yuan's dark brown eyes stared at the small object wrapped in the fabric of the glove, and secretly wondered, what should it be? The shell is the lightest of magnitude, one standard thinner than a clockwork elf, and its main core crystal has only one energy level - that is, it can only store one tania tick at non-combat power consumption - for four minutes of mana.

It has a built-in hinged drive that can only be reused fifty times to drive a pair of low-power 'Guy' elf flapping wings.

This is also the wings of the clockwork goblin, except that the clockwork goblin is a pair of two, which is also much stronger and more durable than it.

In addition, there are no visual contact crystals, no heat dissipation, no shock absorption, only a small space is reserved, and there is only a load of 14 grams. At first glance, it looks like a deformed version of a clockwork goblin.

But Fang Yu is not frustrated by failure, everything has to go through the stage of starting from nothing.

He held up his palms and watched as a slit opened in the sphere, from which a pair of thin wings protruded, and the membranes of the wings reflected the sunlight like a narrow golden ray. It shook slightly, causing the orb to float out of his palm, swaying slightly from side to side in the process, but overall it was steady, flying higher and higher, and gradually crossing the height of the roof.

Then it flew forward obliquely, and in the process let out a whistling like a sharp whistle, and shot forward like a sharp arrow. When the sharp arrow reached the end, the orb seemed to elongate in the field of vision, starting from the fragile front cover, the shell cracked open, the wings flew out, and the parts and hinges inside bounced out one after another, and finally the whole thing split apart, turning into a golden raindrop, 'clanging' scattered to the ground.

Around twenty-five meters, Fang Yu calculated the final distance, and the final impact had reached the level that an energy level should be, that is, two points of strength and six points of attack power.

He walked over, bent down to pick up a piece of shell from the ground, and pinched it between the thick gloves of his thumb and forefinger.

Under the gaze, the grayish, curly shell was covered with fine cracks, like the sharp corners of a piece of glass, and then bent backwards like a fragile page of sandstone, breaking by its own weight.

The rest of the part in his hand was also weathered like sand.

Fang Yu could feel the elements scattered in the air, with a hint of the smell of fireworks embers, which were the most abundant fire elements.

He turned his hand over and rubbed his fingers, and a heart seemed to run on a flat field: the final fragmentation of the shell was caused by the fragility and instability of the elemental material structure.

Did the Nummerin elves have this problem a thousand years ago?

Or is it because of your lack of skill?

Or is it because there is too little mana output?

He glanced back, and the red hand on the bronze gauge of the magic furnace was at the third scale. This means that he has output about one-twentieth of his mana in his previous spell cast.

This is the magic power of the main crystal, and one-twentieth is already heavenly.

That's when Sylvid walked over. The nobleman's daughter, with a white gauze openwork glove, gently placed it on his hand, and her light blue eyes like a lake with a slight smile looked at him, and asked:

"What's it called?"

"What's it called?"

Fang Yu couldn't help but groan.

"Gray."

"It's called Gray."

……

Fang Yu remembers that the last time he went to the 'Sand Journey House' a few days ago, he didn't see these verdant vines hanging on the earthy stone walls.

They are placed in a red stone basin, and the soft red vines hang naturally from the edge of the basin as if to welcome guests with open arms, and a dense stack of leaves grows on it.

Like all plants that grow in this area, the leaves are covered with a layer of wax.

It looks like Abed was renovating the 'Sand Tour' in a matter of days.

The lobby of the inn was quiet, there weren't a single guest except for them who were walking in, and there was only a lazy yellow cat lying in the bar area where a few guests had been drinking alone.

When it comes to cats, Fang Yu can't help but think of Ms. Delith. Unfortunately, they hadn't seen the beautiful cat lady since they left Idus, and it was said that the others had stayed behind to look for her, but found nothing.

Don De also asked about 'Chrissy' in private, but he was not sure that the two were related.

Fang Yu looked around, and did not immediately see Abed standing quietly in the old place where it should be, but saw an unexpected person behind a dense clump of sand trees.

On Lady Elna's serious face, the heroic brow gradually gathered, as if two dark clouds were converging, and the emerald green eyes were just fixed on him.

But the last thing Fang Yu wanted at the moment was to see this face.

He almost wanted to turn away.

Erna walked over to him in a rage

Fang Yu opened her mouth to argue, for example, she didn't mean to make her cry at the beginning, but this seems to be more begging?

But the Djinn had approached him and asked him a barrage of questions, "Why did you leave the Artisan Guild that day?" Who are you and I? - Oh, take it, I'm Erna. But you have to return the guild's stuff. ”

There is no cause or consequence for these words, which makes Fang Yu uncontrollable.

But the next moment, there was a slight weight in his hand, and Lady Erna had already shoved something over.

He lowered his head, only to realize that it was a metal 'artifact', which looked like a metal heart wrapped around the meridians, about the size of a fist. On the silver skin of the pericardium, there is a row of tiny rivets, and then it is covered with a layer of thin, hollowed-out pipes.

He had actually seen the folded wings that wrapped around the pericardium like a membrane, translucent and shaded like veins on the surface.

This is a Lingus Guard, which is slightly different from the average Lingus Guard. Fang Plover concluded that this was about an allogene.

He suddenly understood what Lady Erna meant.

But he was a little hesitant to ask him to return the Kraken. Compared, he'd rather not have it.

He thought about it for a moment and decided to save the country.

"Okay." Fang Yu nodded.

After Erna quickly cut through the mess and finished saying that, there was still a trace of apprehension in her green eyes, but when she saw him agree, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

So her expression was slightly unnatural and said, "Then I'll take my leave first...... Well, if you have the chance, you can visit the Artisan Association again. ”

As for the latter sentence, it was purely polite words, and of course Fang Yu didn't believe it.

But he stopped the other party: "Wait, Ms. Elna. ”

Erna turned around, "What's wrong?" ”

"What I said that day."

Her face suddenly couldn't hold back: "That's you won." ”

"No, Ms. Elna, it's not about winning or losing."

"What does that mean?"

"I just want to ask, about the creation of the Aether, does it contain the rules and complex information that makes up this world? Can we write the 'rules of magic' into the crystal, and the 'message of creation' into the crystal? ”

Lacking preconceived notions, Lady Erna is actually a person with a keen eye for alchemy. She looked at Fang Yu again, only this time it was very different from every time in the past, and a surprised light flashed in her emerald green eyes:

"Wait, are you working on these? Who told you who your mentor was? ”

"My mentors are Master Oswald of Kapka, Master Ender of Dulun, and Mr. Ann Lother of the House of Fairies has also taught him about alchemy. These ideas come mainly from the latter and have something to do with the ancient alchemy of Noumerin. ”

"Master Oswald, I know, he is a very respected elder. I've heard of Master Ender, he's the master craftsman of the Elffindor Council, Anlother, is that Anlother, you've been to the Hall of a Thousand Doors? ”

Fang Yu nodded.

Erna was even more surprised: "What year?" ”

"This year, in March and April."

"Then you'll have to call me senior." Erna looked him up and down before reaching out to him, "My name is Erna, Erna Vasa, I saw you messing around with that guy last time...... It's me having some preconceived notions, and I have to apologize to you, Eddard. ”

Fang Yu shook her hand, Miss Giant's hand was soft, but strong.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and the unhappiness between himself and the president lady was over.

Fang Yu asked again, "Ms. Elna—"

"Call me sister, I entered the Hall of a Thousand Gates one year earlier than you, and I am your senior sister. How old is Ed? ”

"Seventeen."

"It's amazing, you've been to the Hall of a Thousand Gates at such a young age?"

"Because I am the Chosen One."

Erna nodded: "If Ed has the chance, he can come to the Artisan Guild and we can discuss alchemy." But I have something to do today, I have to-"

But how could Fang Yu let her go, he finally created such an opportunity for dialogue, thought for a while, and threw out the question he had been preparing for a long time: "Miss Erna is studying the fairy envoy?" ”

Sure enough, when Erna heard this, her green eyes lit up slightly: "By the way, Ed, you are a goblin envoy?" ”

Fang Yu was slightly modest: "Count it half." ”

Erna then looked surprised, took his hand out of sight, and asked, "I have a few ideas about the fairy messenger, if Ed is okay, can you help me?" ”

This is exactly what Fang Yu wants. But he struggled not to make his intentions too obvious, and nodded.

Erna narrowed her eyes a little happily, the clouds of unhappiness and brows had long since been left behind. At this time, she looked at the things in Fang Yuan's hand, and as if she thought of something, she reached out and patted it gently: "Then this, it will be regarded as my scheduled reward, and when I have the opportunity, I will give you another gift." ”

In addition, she hesitated for a moment before she said: "But the guild's things, remember to return them, they are the property of the guild, and we must distinguish between public and private." ”

Fang Yu nodded.

But he didn't think so in his heart, other things could be returned, but the Kraken would never work. He could even pay for it, but he had to convince the serious lady of the guild to agree first.

Fortunately, it seems that she has made a good first step, and she was obviously more hesitant than before.

Squeak –

While the two were talking, there was a long knock on the door outside.

Fang Ou and Erna, as well as the others, looked back, only to find that it was still not Mr. Abed, nor guests, but three people who were clearly in uniform.

They wore long shawls with purple and yellow trim, which hung down to the ground as if wrapped in a huge veil, and their hands were hidden under them, so that they could not see whether they were armed.

The man at the head was taller, almost the same level as Elna. In the sunlight at the door of the hostel, the other party almost looked like a long shadow standing up from the ground.

His gloomy gaze scanned the hall, and finally looked in this direction.

Fang Yu originally thought that the three of them were looking for Her Royal Highness the Princess, or someone from the Penelope royal family, but he didn't expect the other party's eyes to fall on him in the end, and asked:

"Is Mr. Ed here?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Including Sky Blue and Ji Ta also showed surprised eyes, the tone of the comer was obviously not good, but they didn't have any enemies in this place? Even if it's a dragon worship, it won't come to the door so blatantly, right?

But before Fang Yu could speak, Ms. Erna took the initiative to stand up and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Only then did the man look away from Fang Yuan, looked at Elna, and replied coldly, "Ma'am, this has nothing to do with you. ”

"I'm Erna Vasa, president of the Tansnir Artisan Guild, so please let me know, or don't blame me for being rude." Elna's tone was equally tough, and she reached into her coat and pulled out a Lingus Guard.

The man frowned for a moment, and then replied, "Lady Elna, we are secret agents of the royal family, and we have something to know about Mr. Ed. ”

"The royal family, which royal family?"

"The royal family of Cowling."

When Erna heard this name, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Sylvid frowned slightly when she heard the name.

Fang Ou turned his head and even saw that Baggins had already stretched out one hand behind him, and since he had come to meet Her Royal Highness Princess Penelope, they had no conspicuous weapons, and the always alert boatswain had hidden a dagger behind him.

His heart sank, and he already had a premonition.

But how could someone from the royal family find this place and know that he was in this place? And how do you know that Sylvede is by his side?

He couldn't find the answer to his question for a while, but his mind flashed like lightning, and he immediately understood that he had to stand up at this time.

He took a step forward, looked directly into the other's eyes, and replied without humility or arrogance: "I am, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

"You're Eddard?" The man's gaze returned to him, cold as a poisonous snake.

The other party was not in a hurry, but asked again and again.

Fang Yu nodded.

"Very well," the man replied, "we have some things that we need your help in investigating." ”

As he spoke, his gaze turned to Sylvid, and a cold light flashed in his gray eyes: "And the lady next to you, we will also take her to assist in the investigation." ”

Sure enough, Fang Yu felt that the premonition in his heart had become a reality.

Baggins was about to step forward.

It's just that Fang Yu stretched out his hand to stop him and Sylvide, raised his head and asked the other party, "Why?" ”

The other party was calm: "Because we suspect that she has a close relationship with a traitor." ”

It's just that Fang Yu directly skipped this question and asked, "But how can I believe that you are members of the royal family?" ”

The man was unhurried: "If you want to see it, we can prove it." ”

"Well," replied Fang Yuan, "Mr. Spy, but there can be no one in our ranks who has a close relationship with the traitors. ”

"You don't think so, Mr. Eddard."

Fang Ou turned his head and looked at Sylvede—there was a sparkle of affirmation in his dark brown eyes, which was a reward for the girl's long-standing unconditional trust.

Other than that, he didn't have any superfluous movements or looks, but the noble lady seemed to understand, and her brow, which had been slightly frowned, was flattened again, and she just stood there calmly.

Fang Yu turned his head again, looked at the three people, and replied, "Not necessarily. ”

The man's voice was a little colder: "Your Excellency means to stand on the opposite side of the royal family of Kaulin?" ”

"Not really."

"So-"

Fang Yu directly interrupted him and replied loudly, "But what I say counts, everyone." ”

The man stopped and looked at him coldly.

And the next moment, there was no movement of the man, and suddenly there was a gunshot, and a cloud of sparks unfolded under his huge shawl - obviously, the other party had also expected to make a move.

But before the whirling bullet arrived, a large shield stretched out diagonally, blocking in front of the square plover, and with a muffled sound, the lead bullet shot into the big shield, embedded in half, and hit the sawdust flying.

Luo Hao laughed cruelly: "Silly ×, when I don't exist?" ”

The man's face was ugly, and he took a step back, and at the same time, he pulled out a seven-style 'cigarette' handcuff from under his shawl, the muzzle of six black holes, changed direction, and pointed at Sylvid on the side.

But before he could pull the trigger, he suddenly felt a wave of unstability under his feet, the ground was raised, and several sharp thorns stretched out from his 'brush'. The man had to retreat again and again, and was shocked in his heart - what kind of spell was this?

But with the last step back, a sharp spike slammed through his handcuff, knocking it flying and scattering it back to the ground in parts.

The man looked up and saw that there was a huge nautilus behind Fang Ou at some point, and the tentacles were still emitting a faint fluorescence—and the boy was pulling out a silver handcuff from behind him and pulling out the hammer.

Not far behind him, the daughter of the Albert family also held an identical silver handcuff in her hand, and raised it, and pointed the muzzle of the black hole at him.

The secret agent of the royal family didn't expect the other party to be so decisive, and his strength was much beyond his expectations, especially the strange spell, which completely disrupted his rhythm.

In a panic, he shouted, "Wait, you are the Chosen One, you can't interfere in our internal affairs!" ”

When Fang Yu heard this, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred in his heart.

He finally understood why the secret agents of the royal family knew that he was in this place, and the daughter of Sir Ma Wei was by his side, it turned out that someone had deliberately betrayed this information-

He was like a mirror in his heart, but he was silent on the surface.

Just looked at the other party and replied lightly: "Okay, I don't interfere." ”

A gunshot rang out.

Sylvide's gun burst into flames, and the man flew sideways.
