Three bodies lay side by side on the ground. Fang Yu looked at the first body first, the first one was the gloomy man, of course, the other party's face was pale now, a line of reddish light white was revealed under the slightly open eyelids, the hair was unkempt, and the skin seemed to be coated with a layer of gelatin.

Fang Yuan's gaze lingered on his face for a moment, confirming that he had not seen the other party, before bending down and lifting the other party's felt cloak. Under the purple and yellow cloak, the other party was wearing gray trousers and a long-sleeved shirt, and two sheathed swords, one long and one short, were pinned to his waist, and there were two empty leather bags, one on the left and one on the right, which were supposed to be used to intervene in the hand, but both were pulled out.

On each side of the leather bag, there were bottles, some of which contained cloudy liquids. Fang Yu didn't know what it did, he had limited knowledge of poisonology, and considering the nature of the other party's work, he didn't touch it. He looked beyond the flasks to the shorter sword, and felt that there was something unique about it, so he reached out and took it down.

The sheathed sword was less than a cubit long, and there was a butterfly-shaped silver carving on the dark sheath, which Fang Ou did not remember using this emblem image, and he pressed the buckle with his thumb and pulled the sword out at once. The light of the blade fell on his face, the blade was very sharp, it was a magic weapon, but other than that, it was nothing special.

Fang Yu looked at the alchemy array etched on the spine of the sword, which were affixes that increased lightness and agility, so he inserted the sword back, and then looked at the corpse - some bullet pouches hung from the diagonal leather shoulder straps, and above that was the position where the other party had been shot, and in the left chest, after the bullet burned through the felt weave, leaving a dark red on the shirt.

A little further along, the pin was stuck in a coat of arms. The coat of arms is about the size of a coin, with a blue background, and the left and right unicorns and ligers arch over the central crown, on which two long swords are staggered, very similar to the coat of arms of Kaulin-Ishurian. Seeing this, Fang Yu knew in his heart that the other party was undoubtedly a secret agent of the royal family.

He lowered his shawl. A slight fluorescence was shining on the pale face of the corpse, and a white light cluster was rising from the fluorescence, and where the light penetrated, the corpse was gradually becoming transparent.

He examined the remaining two corpses, each with similar equipment, but only two of them had the same dagger on them.

Fang Yu took the two short swords off and put them together. Soon, one of the short swords glowed with the same fluorescence, and vanished in the flickering white light, leaving a cloud of dust behind. The three corpses were all resurrected, and the hall of the 'Sand Journey House' was quiet again, as if nothing had happened except for the bullet marks left on the ground.

Fang Yu straightened up and muttered for a moment.

He knew roughly what trouble he was in.

The matter about Sylvid being by his side is actually not a secret, and it has already been exposed once in Van Rik. And it is unrealistic to expect the Elffindor Council to keep secrets, Teacher Ander and Old Coppernose may be able to trust, but others are not.

Ever since the incident of Count Cillin-Sbicca, he had seen it clear that it was a sieve leaking on all sides.

It's just that the only people who know his exact location at the moment are the military, the people of the Flor Descendants, and the Super Athletic Alliance. And the military is unlikely to sell him to the prime minister's side, leaving people who can do this, it is conceivable that the descendants of Flor and the Super Athletic League have certain suspicions.

He offended these two parties last time, but he didn't expect revenge to come so soon, and he made him feel a little disdainful about doing so.

Forget about the Flor Descendants, there is no way that the Super Athletic League will not be unaware of this - and the other side is actually targeting Sylvid, they should not be unaware that this involves the internal affairs of Kaulin-Ishurian.

And on the one hand, it is related to the safety of the nobles' daughters, and the other party regards human life as a careless behavior, does this still conform to the norms that a stargate organization should have? It's a pity that he can't grasp the other party's handle for the time being, and he only has some intolerability.

"Brother Ed, are they really spies of the royal family?" Azure asked.

Jita clutched her bachelor's robe, as if she was about to bring out the water, and said with deep concern: "The brooch is the emblem of the royal family of Kaulin-Ishurian, if it is not a forgery......"

Fang Yu turned his head and smiled slightly at everyone: "Maybe it is, but it's not a big deal." ”

Sylvid opened her mouth to speak, but Attila took her hand from behind. She turned around, and Miss Elf's emerald green eyes were like deep lakes, immersed in ancient silence, and said to her, "This is Ed's business. ”

Sylvid thought for a moment and nodded.

Everyone was quiet for a while.

Fang Yu looked at them before he said, "Everyone...... From today, the road ahead may be full of dangers and difficulties, but this is something we have anticipated. But the promise we made was that we could be together and accompany each other on our way.

No matter in the end, it is full of thorns or flowers. ”

Luo Yu, Ji Ta and Luo Hao listened and bowed their heads slightly. On the side, although Ai Xiaoxiao didn't know what was going on, she still nodded, Tang Xin glanced at her friend, sighed, and thought that sometimes there may be a simple happiness when you don't have a brain.

The box was keeping his head down, scrutinizing how much mana his wand had used.

"And Miss Sylvede is still our investor." Sky Blue said.

"Wait, won't we be able to take advantage of the opportunity?" The Paparals keenly grasped the blind spot.

"Parker—" Attila stared at the guy.

Sylvide couldn't help but laugh on the sidelines.

"Well, I'm not from the Cowlin-Ishurian Kingdom, and I don't belong to Division III," Parker said, "What does this have to do with me, but you have to tell me one thing, if we do get up against the royal family and I'm going to steal their coffers again, you're not going to be as old-fashioned as last time, are you?" ”

Alyssa smiled slightly: "You said that the head of the regiment is old-fashioned? ”

"Well, that's just a metaphor."

Big cat people don't have to take a stand. Baggins looked at the crowd, a hint of emotion flashed in his light brown eyes, he looked at his eldest lady, and suddenly realized that she had chosen the right group of people from the beginning.

Sesta's usual unchanged silver gaze glanced at Fang Yuan.

Fang Yu looked at the people who were gagging, and he already understood everyone's decision in his heart, and a thought suddenly intertwined in his heart:

I have the best team of myself, and it is in no way inferior to Miss Scarpe's 'Dawn Star'

It's still weak, but one day it's going to grow.

He looked at Sylvid, and Miss Ship Officer smiled in return.

……

Erna looked at these people and felt that they were not quite the same as the ones she had seen. Sincere, cherished friendships, these people seem to have a little more of what they call 'humanity' than the Chosen One with whom she has dealt with them.

"Ed," she said, "the spies of the royal family are everywhere, and you should be careful if you offend them." ”

Fang Yu looked back at the lady of the president, and was a little surprised, the other party represented the Craftsmen's Association, and the Craftsmen's Association was also part of the official power of Kaulin-Ishurian, they killed the secret agents of the royal family, and behaved like a traitor, did the other party still stand by their side?

"Although this is Istania, the royal family of Cowlin still has some influence here, so you must not take it lightly." Lady Djinn hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'll do my best to help you press the news for a while, but when those people come back, it won't be necessarily." ”

"Lady Elna, you ......"

Erna shook her head slightly: "I just don't think you're bad people, and I've heard about the prime minister's actions, and if the eldest princess takes a fancy to you, you don't necessarily need my help." ”

Fang Yu was a little moved in his heart: "Thank you, Ms. Elna, it's a pity that I promised to help you study the matter of the fairy envoy, but I'm afraid that it will be stranded for a while." ”

Erna looked very free and easy at the moment, and didn't care: "There will be opportunities in the future." By the way, Ed, what ......did you do before? ”

"Yes, Lady Elna, that's ancient alchemy. It was taught to me by Mr. Ann Loser. ”

Erna looked at the structural kraken behind Fang Yuan.

"It's a pity that the Kaurin-Ishurian can't see it, but you can't forget where you came from, Eddard."

"Of course, I will always be an alchemist from Kapka, and I will always belong to the third division."

Erna bowed her head, looked at the kraken and said, "So if it's important to you, take it with you." As for the guild's materials, I'll find another way to ......"

Fang Yu had heard the middle-aged craftsman talk about some things about the new president lady, and he also understood that the other party did not have enough money, and his heart was even more moved.

"Ms. Elna."

“是爱尔娜姐姐，”爱尔娜纠正他道，并依据此开了一句玩笑：“要是你以后成名了，我也可以跟着沾一点光。 Alright, Eddard, I have something to leave, and if you really have something you can't solve, come to me-"

With that, she looked at the place again and walked out the door.

"He's a man of integrity." Attila looked at the back of the other party leaving and said.

Fang Yu thought so.

……

It was about half an hour before the group met Abed, who had arrived.

Two pack beasts named 'Bergo', a tall, sturdy pterosaur that lived in the wasteland, stopped outside the door of the 'Sand Journey', covered in thick earthy scales. One of the dumb servants brought a soft-faced stool, and Abed, supported by another dumb servant, stepped on the stool and stepped down from the satin soft seat.

Abed's soft cloth robe with a plaid pattern was wearing today, and under his black curly hair, he looked around like a desert peregrine falcon and then at the crowd. He obviously knew what was going on here before he came, and without saying much, his thin lips lowered his voice and said:

"Come with me, Her Royal Highness the Princess wants to see you."

"Mr. Abed." Fang Yu stepped forward and said.

Abed raised a thin finger and placed it in the center of his lips, signaling them to be cautious.

When Fang Yu saw this scene, he seemed to feel something, and his footsteps stopped.

Abed held out his hand and motioned for them to go out. One of the two 'Bergo' was for them, a tall pack beast with a wide back that could carry seven or eight people, and the wide paws of its feet were also conducive to walking on sand, making it a veritable 'ship of the desert' in Istania.

Sky Blue and Kita have yet to ride the 'Bergo'. The two little girls were very curious on the back of the pack beast, occasionally touching the scales on the back of the pterosaur, or its broad, umbrella-like bone plates like a ceratosaurus.

The beast of burden made its way through the market, slowly heading out of the harbor.

And Fang Yu thought about what happened before, and didn't pay too much attention to the changes in the surrounding scenery.

Not long after, 'Bergo' stopped outside an estate.

The Istanian manor house is located in an oasis just outside the harbour, with a long wall of white sand in the shade, a lake in the distance, sparkling water, and golden vaults looming behind the slender foliage of alder trees, reflecting the gray sand dunes in the sky.

Everyone didn't expect that there was such a pleasant place in the edge of the desert, and they couldn't help but be amazed for a while.

Several servants in white robes stepped forward and helped each one down. After careful observation, Fang Yu found that each of these servants was well-trained and well-behaved, and they were not dumb, thinking that they were the close servants of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and it was indeed different from the weather seen in other places.

However, he was not used to being served, so he jumped off. And casually put the sheathed short sword in his hand to the back, when the white crystal on the scabbard and the groove on the belt were closed, he suddenly felt a lot lighter.

Abed waved off the servants and led them into the manor.

Walking through a shaded pebble path, the group entered a courtyard, and the sound of strings and drums could be heard melodiously in the distance. Before he had gone a few steps, a group of barefoot desert dancers dressed in light veils approached the gallery, their ankles tied with silver threads and bells, jingling as they walked.

And the desert women were enthusiastic and unrestrained, and the girls still glanced at them very boldly, and then fell into the laughter like silver bells and went away.

Further on, the melodious sound became clearer and clearer. After passing through an openwork Istanian gate, the group turned into a large hall where the sound of ding-dong music came to their faces, and the hall was dimly lit, and the floor was paved with black stone, polished to a remarkable appearance.

There are some hollow incense burners under the pillars, which are diffusing the curling smoke, making the hall a little dense. Fang Yu noticed that in the corner of the darkness, there were several guards standing upright, each holding a scimitar, and when he looked closely, he found that they were all dressed in robes.

It seems that Her Royal Highness the princess has a very good impression of these alchemical products, Fang Yu thought to himself.

And the other party's lover is also an alchemist.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the middle-aged craftsman standing in front of him, and the other party also saw them, so he nodded and smiled at everyone. Fang Yu was about to speak, but he saw another person not far away—four pitch-black stone pillars that reached the center of the dome, spread out a thick white carpet, and on top of the silk white fur, there was a silk cushion—

And on it, a young girl sits upright.

The other party was about eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in the traditional costume of Istania, with a long fiery red skirt with gold trim, a veil, gold ornaments on his ears and temples, and the exposed skin on his neck was slightly dyed camel color. A pair of light brown eyes, unusually bright, are looking seriously ahead-

Not far away, the dancer danced, the musician plucked the five-stringed piano in his hand quickly, and the artists on the side sometimes beat the drum, and a fast-paced beat was heard—at this moment the dancer was barefoot on the ground, dancing and whirling.

There are two maids on the left and one on the right beside the woman, one holding a hookah for her, and the other holding a gold-wire teacup.

At this time, the girl noticed the movements of the middle-aged craftsman and turned around.

When she saw Fang Yu and Luo Yu, her eyes couldn't help but light up slightly:

"Is that Mr. Ed?"

So without the need for a middle-aged craftsman's introduction, Fang Ou understood that this was the eldest daughter of the Sand King Babartan, Princess Rupert Penelope.

He paused and replied politely, "Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess." ”

Fang Yu was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the rumored shrewd and capable eldest princess would be such a girl's image. However, the Istania call her the pearl of the desert, and the other party does have this qualification, and her face is soft, and she is only slightly inferior to the noble daughter.

"You don't have to be restrained," said Princess Rupert, her voice soft, "you saved Afifa once, and this time I came to thank you. ”

She said as she clapped her hands gently.

As soon as the music stopped, the dancers retreated.

Out of the corner came a line of servants, each holding a carpet, a low table, and a cushion, and laid them out one by one, and the whole process was completed in one go. In less than a minute, each of them had been given a place, and the servants walked out without saying a word, bowing their heads.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated," Princess Rupert held out her hand again and motioned for them to take their seats, "I have already rebuked Abed last time for not being hospitable. ”

Fang Yu looked at the others before sitting down cross-legged, the cushion seemed to be filled with camel hair, very soft, as if it had been caught in a cloud.

When everyone saw him sit down, they all sat down, Sylvid sat beside him, and Tang Xin and Ai Xiaoxiao were on the other side.

At this moment the princess clapped her hands again, and servants came up with silver plates and tea, and laid out all kinds of rare fruits from the desert. Parker and Sky Blue's eyes lit up, and the two of them stretched out their hands left and right, but they were beaten back by Attila alone.

Fang Yu raised his head and replied, "Your Highness Princess, what happened last time actually had nothing to do with Mr. Abed. ”

Princess Rupert smiled slightly: "Don't talk about this today, we Istanian people have our own tradition of hospitality, especially distinguished guests, you not only saved my sister once, but also helped me and my father a great favor, it is reasonable, today's banquet should also let you enjoy it." ”

"A big favor?"

Fang Yu was about to ask.

But Her Royal Highness said something to the maid beside her, but saw that the latter retreated.

She raised her head and said to everyone, "Do you know what is the real delicacy in Istania? ”
