Clarison suddenly stopped his pen and looked up, his gloomy gaze fixed on the shutter behind his desk. The light in the room was a little dim, and the flickering light of a candle not far away was reflected in his dark pupils and pale wrinkles.

The faint screeching sound outside the house, which seemed to come from afar, was converging together, and he frowned at the fact that he didn't know what was happening outside. He put away his quill and inserted it into the inkwell, and glanced at the half-finished record, while the desk below was shaking slightly—

It's like an earthquake.

The thing was getting restless, he thought to himself.

There was a heavy sound of footsteps outside the hallway, and the owner of the steps seemed to be somewhat disabled, one deep and one shallow. The footsteps stopped outside the door, and then there was a gentle knock on the door, slow and rhythmic, three short and three long. "Master, you're ready." An old voice answered outside the door.

Clarison withdrew his gaze, looked in the direction of the door with a cold look on his face, and replied, "I see, bring the things to the carriage, and I'll be right there." ”

"Understood, master." The old voice replied.

Immediately, he took a deep and shallow step, and slowly left in the direction he came.

The shaking is intensifying.

The screams outside seemed to be clearer.

But Clarison was unimpressed, and he pulled out his chair and turned around, took a shriveled piece of parchment from the table, and walked to the back room, where there was a row of tall bookshelves filled with books of all kinds—most of them, black covers, with blood-red pentagrams painted on them, and ancient runes engraved with crimson letters.

Clarisson's gloomy gaze swept over the tall bookshelves, the old scrolls, and the parchments, and stayed between the second and third floors, and he counted from left to right to the seventh, pulled out a large book with a black cover, opened it, and inserted the parchment in his hand.

He paused for a moment, as if wondering if he had missed something, but after a moment he closed the book again and put it back in its place.

This time he stayed in the South longer than ever.

But he had become accustomed to going back and forth between the two places, and had carefully arranged everything in order using his identity, and so far no one had discovered his true identity.

But Clarison knew it was a matter of time — he had done something special last year, using his power to erase a small record from the guild for the first time, and he knew it was going to leave a tail, but he did it anyway.

This is only the only time, and the employer is related to Ma Wei's daughter, which should be able to be covered up in the current situation.

He thought so.

And time is running out -

Just wait until this time to return to Golland, and then arrange the final work. All plans in the South were in progress, and by that time no one had noticed the details, and he could have quietly walked away from them—everything seemed seamless.

But the paradox of a perfect plan is that every aspect of it has to be predicted.

He was a cautious man, and he knew the drawbacks of this, and the best thing to do was to make a quick decision and leave early—but the arrangement of the big man did not allow him to have any room for manoeuvre—forget it, he shook his head, the more he thought about it, the more meaningless it was, and his mind became deeper and more complex, as if all kinds of chaotic thoughts were coming one after another.

He didn't know if it was his own delusion, and for a while he felt as if even the candlelight had dimmed a lot.

But Clarison suddenly came to his senses, frowned, and under his gloomy gaze—there was only a bean-sized firework flickering above the candlestick at the other end. It wasn't his delusion, but the candlelight was really fading.

Only then did he feel the shaking intensify further.

Some of the books were wobbling down from the shelves, and he had to hold on to the shelves to hold on, "What's going on?" Clarison suddenly had a premonition in his heart, this was not the power of Koras, how could the candlelight weaken?

Dark breath?

He couldn't have been more sensitive to this, and suddenly he turned away and listened. The scream was not coming from the direction of the port area, but from the south.

What's in the South?

Clarison only remembered that it was another street, and suddenly he realized something was wrong. The bookshelves around him were shaking and falling, but out of nowhere, he slammed them open and ran towards the room to the south between the shaking of the ground and the mountains.

The blinds were only halfway down, but they were still not closed, and the rays of the afternoon sun shone through the gaps between the window pages and into the room.

Clarison strode to his desk, about to open the drawer and pull out his wand from there. But suddenly, he felt darkness outside the window in front of him, and he looked up in astonishment, and a huge shadow fell from the sky, enveloping him.

The howling wind under the wings smashed the windows and blew everything in the room to pieces.

……

"Brother Ed!"

Fang Yu suddenly heard someone calling his name.

He was familiar with the voice alone, and when he looked in that direction, he saw a little girl with blond hair and a tight tunic and a white shirt waving excitedly in that direction.

In fact, it was not only Sky Blue, everyone in the party had arrived, behind Sky Blue was Attila and the tall Lion Paladin, then 'Lady Papamo', Chest and Luo Yu, and Alyssa, Kita, and even Forest and Drisi.

Except for Baggins and Shesta.

And he immediately felt a more gentle gaze.

Fang Yu subconsciously looked in that direction, and saw that Miss Ship Officer was standing among the crowd, looking at him quietly. There seemed to be a silent meaning in her expression, and she smiled again, only raised one finger, and lightly tapped her lips—

Seeing this, Fang Yuan's face turned red.

It had a slightly cool, soft touch.

And in the memory, it still seems to carry the sweetness of that day.

It's just that Tianlan saw him stop and look back at Sylvid, and then it suddenly dawned on her: "Oops," she couldn't help but exclaim: "I'll just say, Brother Ed will definitely look at Miss Sylvid first when he comes back," she stretched out her little white hand to the others: "Take the money, take the money." ”

The emotion that had just risen in Fang Yu's heart immediately vanished.

He looked at these people angrily, what did he take him for?

And 'Ms. Papamo' and the box both paid in frustration.

Then there was the big cat man who laughed, and in turn slapped Tianlan's little hand with his furry paws, and he didn't know how much money he paid, "Little bet on pleasure, Ed," he was looking at Fang Yuan, and said with a smile: "In the teachings of the goddess, there are also those who make her followers brave and diligent—"

Fang Yu was a little angry: "Are you brave and diligent in gambling?" ”

"Be cautious and decisive," Red stroked the mane on his chin, "Victory is not arrogant, defeat is not discouraged, and the battle depends on the fight between life and death - there is a common truth here, Ed." ”

Fang Yu didn't listen to his nonsense, only his eyes widened, and he saw that Ji Ta was blushing on the side, and he also took out the money from his small bag and handed it to Tianlan. "Jita, why don't you ...... either" Fang Yu was taken aback, and suddenly felt that between his departure, there might be something wrong with this team.

Kita didn't dare to look at him, so she buried her head and said, "Brother Ed, it's Tianlan's idea." ”

"It's not a joke," Tianlan immediately shook the pot: "Kita is voluntary!" ”

Before he finished speaking, he was trampled by Miss Naturalist.

But she said to herself: "Everyone has a share, and the interests are equal, but it's none of my business!" ”

Fang Yu was a little speechless, so he had to look at Luo Yu, the only one on the side who was not involved, and said with relief: "Luo Yu, you are still the most stable." ”

But Luo Yu was a little embarrassed and explained honestly: "...... Captain, I and Sky Blue are dealers. ”

Fang Yuan: "......"

And Sophie looked at these living treasures from the sidelines, and couldn't help but chuckle - the other party's adventure group always reminded her of her own small team with the same 'talent'. Just thinking of this, she suddenly realized something, and involuntarily looked to the side.

Sure enough, she saw that Qian was looking in the direction of Fang Yu and the others in a daze, with a little distraction on her face. Sophie looked slightly stunned, and couldn't help but ask, "Akane?" ”

Qian Rong paused for a moment before looking back at her, but there was still some meaning in her expression. Sophie looked at her and asked, "Are you alright?" The latter only shook his head slightly. But Sophie, of course, understood what the other party was thinking, and couldn't help but sigh.

She will one day go to the second world, and the team to which the two originally belonged will naturally have to go their separate ways - the harmony between the team that she has been carefully maintaining has become a problem in the end, and the feelings and bonds between people in the team in the past may disappear in a blink of an eye.

She is Her Royal Highness the Princess of Silver Vislan.

But how many people understand that with this title will be the same responsibility, and it is a career path that she can't choose. So at that time, whether Akane can go with her is actually not a certain thing......

When she wanted to understand this, she silently looked at Fang Yu and his party, but this time she couldn't smile again, and there was only a faint envy in her eyes.

This small team naturally does not have the confidence behind the big guild, and it may not be so easy for them to go to the second world - even, it will be a thorny road. But there are times when a small team has its own warmth.

If you can always be with the people you like and write their own stories together in this world tree, then what is everything else?

She suddenly understood the choice that the other party had made.

It's just that Sophie looked at Fang Yu quietly, but she couldn't help but think in her heart - when the opportunity to go to the second world really appears in front of you one day, Ed, what choice will you make?

"I'm back," Fang Ou was standing in front of Attila at the moment, and asked Miss Elf to check it up and down. He couldn't help but be a little embarrassed: "I'm really fine, Miss Attila. ”

"It's fine, and Starlight isn't missing," Attila replied, "but everyone is worried about you." ”

"I know," Fang Yuan scratched his head, he couldn't help it, the other party was Odin, and he wanted to arrest him, what could he do? I can probably only bring this experience to the community and brag about it.

You may not believe me, but the King of Warriors himself captured me! ’

He replied sneeringly, "But I have finally made peace with you again, and I will be careful the next time I encounter such a situation, Miss Attila." ”

"And another time?" Attila glanced at him.

"It's gone," Fang Yu was startled and hurriedly changed the subject: "But I promised Odin to participate in a small competition here, but it won't be long before we get the Fairy Heart from the Rose Workshop, and we can go south to build the Seven Seas Traveler." ”

He couldn't help but be a little interested: "When we have the ship, we will take the first step to the second world." It's a small step, but one day, our party will become a well-known party in the Second World! ”

He thought for a moment and added, "It's no less than Loofah's adventure party." ”

Obviously, this trip to the South still irritated him a little - he had heard too many stories that belonged to others - but what about his story? It seems to have just begun.

If it was in the past, the road ahead seemed to be unknown, and he could only follow everyone step by step. After all, the dragon cultists, the descendants of Flor, and even the Super Athletic League all eyed him behind him, and the identity of a stowaway made him feel even more bleak in his future.

But these troubles seem to be solved one by one.

And the experience of the Hall of a Thousand Doors finally gave him the confidence to challenge all this.

If Loofah and the others can do it, why can't he, with his unique dragon soul?

It's just that Tianlan giggled when he heard this: "Brother Ed, you are too angry, there are so many people in our team, and I am just a small trainee now, is Brother Ed also going to take us to the second world?" ”

Kita also nodded: "I'm already very satisfied to be able to explore in Aitaria with the captain." One day, if I return to the Oak Knights with Luo Yu, I will definitely record this experience in the Magic Book, and it will definitely be a wonderful story. ”

But Fang Yu looked at the others and shook his head.

"Say what?" He immediately corrected, "If you want to go to the Second World, of course everyone will go, and no one will be missing, including Mr. Baggins, and Sylvid and Miss Shesta, aren't you going to find your father?" ”

He paused, "Let's go together and wait until we catch the murderer of Miss Atila's brother." ”

Unfortunately, no one believed him—Attila didn't speak, and the big cat man just smiled and shook his head.

And Sky Blue and Ji Ta glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but be a little funny, anyway, they were used to such a stupid captain.

Only Sylvid looked at him with a smile and no rebuttal—plus a box nodded earnestly, "The captain is right." ”

The cow flew in the sky.

Sophie couldn't help but roll her eyes as she listened.

But she could still hear the voice in her heart, because she didn't dare to speak just like that. Her Royal Highness the Silver Vislan Princess couldn't help but look at the mountain girl on the side, and Akane was also looking at her - could she make such a promise? Sophie thought to herself, if it's just for Akane?

It's just that if it's a promise that can't be kept, can it still be considered a promise?

Fang Yu rarely sensed everyone's thoughts.

But he smiled in his heart and didn't say much. In fact, few people know that he has long since rejected the opportunity that once belonged to him alone, and even rejected those pale silver, restrained and radiant, calm eyes, but he never thought that he had lost anything-

Because what he let go of was actually not his own path in the first place.

He can even remember that conversation at the beginning—

"Ed, why don't you join our party?"

"That's not going to work."

"Why?"

"Because I have my own goals."

"Cut, what's your goal again?"

"Look at everything here, of course—"

"Look at the Holy Mountain, see the giant trees and hills of Nurinari, and maybe go to Rota'o, the home of the Wilderness People—and cross the land bridge to the imaginary Second World, where you can follow the steps of the forerunners."

"Maybe one day, I'll form my own adventure party."

In his memory, only Miss Scarpe's eyes were full of disdain: "The unashamed little ghost, obviously he doesn't even have the adaptability of magic power, it is a wise choice to stay in Tarun honestly, so as not to lose his life." ”

Fang Yu couldn't help but laugh.

But in any case, from the time of the elven ruins to this moment, he has never forgotten all this. Because he firmly believes that as long as people remember the origin in their hearts, they will never lose their way, and without losing their direction, there will always be a chance to reach the end.

Only then did he come back to his senses, so he cut straight to the point and asked the others if everyone knew the information that Sophie had before.

Everyone nodded, and it was clear that he was the last to hear the news.

"I've let Shesta and Baggins go first," Sylvide said, "but whether or not to do it depends on the captain's intentions." ”

Only then did Fang Yu understand where Miss Maid and Baggins had gone.

However, he was about to organize the language to inquire about the situation of Jackdaw Street, where the other party was, when suddenly he saw a bright light rise in the southern sky—that light was like a rainbow arc, slowly climbing up the edge of Van Rik City.

As the rainbow light rose, countless rays of light split out from its main body, extending in all directions, forming a huge hemispherical shape that shrouded the city over the city.

The trail of the rainbow seems to finally converge on the spire of Eldorphine in the center of the city.

Fang Yu couldn't help but be stunned.

This is the Urban Barrier – one of the greatest wonders created by contemporary alchemy.

But if it wasn't in a state of war, how could Van Rik open his city shield for no reason, and what happened?
