Fang Yuan's solution is to find Seychelle first.

The mansion of the old patriarch of the Oath Keeper clan is located in a modest manor.

In fact, not only the manor here, but also the entire neighborhood outside, is home to a large number of Oath Keepers. Most of the servants in the manor, the guards and even the janitors outside, most of them were the second or third generation that had grown up in the last twenty years, and the rest were the older generation who had moved to Istania more than thirty years ago.

Probably because of Seychelle, these oathkeepers have a good attitude towards him, but the older generation is more cordial, and the new generation is a little weaker. But overall, it's friendly.

"You want to see Count Nurman?"

The old man listened to Fang Yuan's description of what he meant, and asked in the first sentence.

Fang Yu nodded.

Sylvid's words earlier helped him sort out his clue - instead of speculating, he should take the initiative and ask Ye Hua what the Southern Alliance was planning to do. Although the communication has not been restored, since Ye Hua is allied with Count Nurman, then maybe this Governor of Bein will have a way to contact the former.

Not long after the celebration had passed, it seemed that Count Nurman was going to stay in the royal capital for a while. However, he did not know where the Governor of Bein lived, so he had to turn to his only three acquaintances in Questak, the old patriarch of the Oath Keepers, and as for the other two, one was Alepf and the other was Her Royal Highness Princess Celestia.

The former could not easily leave the Kasan Palace after the celebration, after all, he was the future crown prince; And the latter will not help him to meet the Governor.

Seychelle pondered for a moment, then understood what he meant, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll find someone to take you over." ”

‘’

But Fang Yu didn't intend to leave directly, and instead asked, "Speaking of which, Mr. Patriarch, what do you think about this matter?" ”

The old man pondered for a moment before replying, "The Oath Keeper clan did not participate in it because of their special status. But we have a feud with someone like Seineman, and Your Majesty's intention is for me to restrain him. I think that since he clearly understands this, he may still have a clear understanding in his heart—"

"But they're cultists after all......"

"I see what you mean."

Seychelle leaned forward slightly, stretched out his hands, and gently pressed his shoulder: "Ed, you are the chosen one by Mazak, and we are allies in the fight against the dark believers. But His Majesty is different, he has his own ideas, and the Oath Keepers are also subjects of Astania, do you understand? ”

Fang Yu was slightly stunned, and then bowed his head slightly.

It seems that the old patriarch also had limited influence over Barbartan.

Or the King of Sand was quite determined, even to the point of going his own way, and even the eldest daughter of his deep favor was placed under house arrest.

But what is it that makes this king like this? Fang Yu thought that the reason for everything might have to be found in the attack ten years ago. However, this is not the focus of his concern at the moment, he still has to find the people of the Southern Alliance first, and the other party is the person who is most likely to reveal the information behind him.

Sesher found a young man, lent them a carriage, and sent them to Nurman.

……

According to Seychel, Count Numanr settled in a noble district northwest of Cuestak. It was actually a secluded villa, and in the courtyard of the villa, Fang Ou once again met the earl's daughter, Rawalli Ig Aym ibn.

The other party was carrying a pair of scissors in his hand, pruning flowers behind a bush of desert roses, and when he looked up and saw him, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his aqua blue eyes. "Why are you again?" Lavali looked at him coldly and asked coldly, "What are you doing here, how do you know my father is here?" ”

Regarding the other party's cold tone, Fang Yu could only smile bitterly - and explained his intention.

"See my father?"

Lavalli looked at him with a little suspicion.

She flicked her blonde curls slightly, groaned for a moment, but finally nodded.

It wasn't because she was extraordinarily gracious, but because Count Nurman had specifically mentioned to her that among the few guests he wanted to meet, there was the young man in front of him. Although she didn't understand what her father really liked about the other party, thinking about it, she couldn't help but think of what happened at the celebration that night.

Even His Majesty looks at this guy differently, how can he be the first to be blessed? As soon as she thought of this, she couldn't help but feel even more annoyed in her heart, and only frowned and said coldly:

"Come with me, don't look around."

Fang Yu hurriedly followed without saying a word.

Of course, he sensed that the count's daughter was quite unkind to him.

But it's understandable, and it's the same if it's just him.

The two walked through a silent courtyard, with verdant bushes and brightly colored walls of desert roses. The young men of the Oath Keeper clan who had brought him did not follow, but remained outside the garden, where they guarded the carriage.

Fang Yu glanced outside, and suddenly said, "Miss Lavalli, I want to ask you for a favor......

The earl's daughter Huo Ran turned around and stared at him: "What did you say?" ”

"I want you to do me a favor."

Ravali almost laughed angrily and sneered, "Do you think it's possible? ”

Fang Yu also ignored her cynicism. "I would like to ask your help to ask the Earl, to search the coast of the An'an area, and Miss Afifa is still on the 'Daoud', and I suppose he will agree."

Lavalli looked at him for a while.

Finally, it asked in a deep voice, "...... So Miss Kita is on that too, right? ”

Fang Yu nodded, a little amused in his heart. Since he made this request, he was sure that the other party would definitely agree.

The Earl's daughter looked at him through gritted teeth.

After a long while, she replied word by word, "I'll think about it." ”

If eyes could kill, Fang Yu felt that he had died more than ten times. However, he didn't care so much about achieving his goal, and with the intervention of the Governor of Bein, it would be much easier to find the 'Daoud' - he was sure that the Count would do his best.

……

After taking care of Rawali here, when he saw Nurman again, Fang Yu never mentioned it.

It was in a small reception room that he had met the Earl 'again'—seriously, for the third time. The reception room had a huge window, wooden lattice, dark green curtains, and outside was an acacia tree, which had grown for an unknown number of years, and the lush shade of the tree almost covered the small half of the garden.

The golden buds are in full bloom in this season, like pompoms, rustling when the wind blows. This species is rare in the desert, but the common trees of Nognes were probably transplanted from Kaulin-Ihurian.

The Count put down his teacup, not very surprised by his second visit.

He said lightly, "So what does Mr. Ed have to do?" ”

Fang Yu went straight to the point and said, "I want to find someone, Lord Earl, the former president of the Southern Alliance, Ye Hua." I think they should be in Istania at the moment, and the Count should know them. ”

Nurman was slightly startled when he heard this, and glanced at him with some surprise. But he didn't deny it directly, thought for a moment and replied, "Why do you think so?" ”

"I actually met him at Bein."

Fang Yu lied. He actually only hears voices, which are of course almost the same - but the other party may know about his existence, otherwise they will not come to his rescue when they break through.

At the mention of Bein, Lavalli, who was not far away, sneered softly.

The Count looked back at his daughter, who stopped talking.

After listening to Fang Yuan's answer, Nurman nodded lightly, was silent for a moment and replied, "Do you know him?" ”

Fang Yu nodded.

"May I ask you why you're looking for him?" Nurman asked lightly, "They are my guests." ”

Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this was indeed the case.

He spoke, "My lord, I have something to do with them...... I'm also an old acquaintance with the Southern Alliance, and I think the Earl should know about my experiences in the South—I'm connected to the Southern Alliance, the Elffindor Council, and the Rose Workshop. It's just because of the interruption of communication that I have to trouble you to help introduce it. ”

Nurman pondered for a moment.

Eventually, though, he nodded slightly.

"Okay."

"If they agree."

Hearing this, Fang Yu was completely relieved.

Because he had a hunch that the Ranger King would agree to meet him.

……

In front of you is an endless sea of sand.

It's not like Kita hasn't seen a sea of sand. When the Seven Seas Brigade had left Idus, she, along with the others, had already become familiar with the undulating sand dunes.

But they still underestimate the desert - Istania is about half the size of the desert of North Africa, and the road south from Idus, through the Land of the Dragons and Tansnir, is actually an ancient trade route. The so-called business road, that is, the road opened up by the predecessors, is desolate, but it is not a forbidden area for life.

The oases dotted along the way, and the scattered desert villages and towns, form an intermittent lifeline. Although with the decline of Idus, this ancient trade route has long since lost its former prosperity, but at least it still maintains some 'decency'.

Elsewhere, Istani is truly a land buried in sand.

The scholar sat on the wreck of the Daoud, staring in a daze at the endless sea of sand, with a few books beside her, the pages rattling from the desert wind—the last supplies she had salvaged from the ship, but of little use at the moment.

Not far away is the swordsman who summoned Luo Hao and Lu Fu's shield, it seems to be called ZXC or something—and the little fat man, one of the remaining two people died when he crashed, and he doesn't know where he was resurrected at this moment. But this man is now their only hope.

Luo Hao and the others seemed to hope that person could bring someone from the nearby temple to rescue them.

But the problem is that they don't know how far the nearest resurrection temple is, and if it is hundreds of kilometers away, then the hope of salvation is quite slim.

Several of them looked a little unkempt, huddled around a wind elemental detector and were fiddling with something, and Kita, though she couldn't see herself, believed that she was pretty much the same—because the ship's water was almost depleted. Fortunately, the neighborhood was close to the sea of clouds, and there was fishing tackle on the boat - otherwise they would have been out of cooking for days.

But even so, the food source is unstable, and almost everyone comes hungry and full.

Kita looked in that direction quietly, she had always been well-behaved, although she knew that they might most likely die in this place, but there were not much ripples in her heart.

Hear from the box that they're planning to fix the Typhoon Elemental Detector - that thing in turn can be used as a communication amplifier. But what's the use of this in the event of a communication outage, it's just a last resort in desperation. There was a rustling sound behind him, and Afifa walked up from the bilge with sleepy eyes—the image of the Miss Mystic was fairly decent.

But it's also dusty.

"Kita, didn't you sleep?" When she saw Miss Naturalist, she asked with some surprise.

Kita shook her head.

Afifa watched from afar as the men below were tinkering with their only hope of being rescued.

She looked at it for a while, and then suddenly asked, "What kind of place is Kita?" ”

Kita looked back at her. "Earth."

"I know that," asked Afifa again, "that there are many nations on the earth, right?" ”

"China."

"China?"

Kita thought for a moment and said, "It's a country about the size of Kaurin-Ihurian. ”

"That's pretty impressive, Kaulin-Ishurian is already huge."

Kita thought to herself.

"Kita, can you tell me about your leader?"

Kita looked at her in surprise: "Did you know the head of the regiment before?" ”

Afifa was a little embarrassed: "I've seen him on your 'video', and your fight in Van Rik, Kita...... I know you too. ”

"Video?"

"I—I have a natural dragon soul, and it was Lord Albenny who gave me an account of yours, so I can ......"

"You're an empty knight?" Kita reacted.

However, the so-called 'account' is actually not worth anything at all.

Since the Summoner's system is derived from the Dragon Knight system, whose artificial dragon soul is itself a derivative of the natural dragon soul, it is understandable that the Sky Knight's 'system' can also log into the Summoner's 'Hyper Ethernet', which is part of the virtual network built by Aitalia.

Afifa nodded.

Kita looked at this girl with a little surprise - the owner of the natural dragon soul, it can be said that she is favored by the heavens, but she didn't expect that the ordinary-looking girl in front of her turned out to be the knight of the sky. She thought for a moment and was about to speak.

But it was at this time that an exclamation was heard in the distance.

They both looked in that direction, and Kita heard a strange rustle coming from her bosom—from a pendant hanging from her neckline, to be exact. Her eyes widened, she looked at the pendant with some surprise, and then picked it up almost with some shudder.

It was a dark, somewhat gloomy crystal.

It's her communication crystal.

At that moment, only one thought flashed through her mind:

Communication was restored—

……

The middle-aged alchemist hurried past a cluster of plain flowers, the white bouquets in full bloom, like a patch of snow in the courtyard. But Achilles had no distractions, and walked briskly past the courtyard, through the corridors, and into the palace not far away.

There, Princess Celestia was waiting for his reply, and when Achilles returned, she didn't say much, but took the letter from the other's hand. But before she could open the letterhead, Achilles said, "He's gone to see Nurman." ”

The princess raised her head, glanced at the other party, and nodded silently, indicating that she already understood. "It is not surprising," she replied softly, "that I have heard of what is happening at the celebration, and that my father has shown him goodwill, and he will surely be puzzled by this." It's just that I'm a little surprised that Nurman's usual behavior is not like this......"

"Maybe it has something to do with who he is," Achilles replied, "and I've found out that Mr. Ed doesn't look like he's just an adventurer." ”

"What's wrong?"

"He seems to have some background in Kaulin-Ishurian, and I've heard that he has some ties to the Elffindor Council and the Lizardmen."

The princess was slightly stunned, and after opening the letterhead, the action of pulling out the letter paper also stopped. She couldn't help but smile: "It seems that the person we are looking for is indeed more powerful than we imagined." So Achilles, do you think he's still reliable? ”

"Seeing Nurman doesn't mean much," Achilles replied, "Mr. Ed should be reliable." ”

"But we still have to be prepared."

The latter nodded slightly.

The princess opened the letterhead and glanced at it.

But in an instant, her face turned snow-white, her body shook, and she could barely stand on her feet.

She slapped the letterhead on the low table with an almost 'snap', and said in a trembling voice: "This is absolutely impossible!" The next moment, Her Royal Highness's voice became angry: "Who sent this letterhead, Achilles!?" ”

Achilles was slightly stunned.

Then he looked at Her Royal Highness the princess with some silence.
