Chapter 59: The Time to Leave

“…… There are a total of twenty-two pack beasts, each of which can carry two hundred kilograms of weight and four and a half tons of earth source crystals, all here. By the way, I've found you almost all the pack beasts that can be summoned in this underground, and I can even pack tickets for you, and you will never find another pack beast - except, of course, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. ”

"Most of the other teams have chosen to convert one-third of the number of leaves they should pay into Earth Crystals, and you will definitely make a lot of money by shipping these Earth Source Crystals. But I'll be honest, it's not necessarily a good deal, those leaves are getting higher and higher in the market, and they may not come down anytime soon. ”

"But fortunately, they are willing to pay without discount, and they are even afraid that you will change your words, which will save me a lot of things."

The poet looked full of confidence, and patted the broad back of the Tesov dragon lizard, causing the latter to snort unhappily. He hurriedly took a small step back, then looked back at them.

Fang Plover looked at the twenty or so pack beasts of different heights, some were Tysov dragon lizardmons, some were wingless dragons, and even Orlan Kaishu's big-footed bison, and so on—they were obviously not mobilized from the same team, and it seemed that the other party had put a lot of effort into doing this.

In the past few days, support from the Orca Guild and several other guilds has arrived in the Underworld. The first thing they did was to establish a safe passage to the surface and refurbish the forward camp, where they built semi-permanent fortifications.

This made the major guilds in the south of Nognes have a stronghold to attack here for the first time, and the ash forest beneath the ground has also made contact with the icy and snowy world outside, but the Electors who have stayed here for more than half a month have not only not left—in fact, the number of people who have gone underground has increased.

Although the major guilds unanimously chose to keep this secret below, they intervened a little too late, and the free electors below had already spread the news. From the Lake of Tears of Aube all the way to the south, from the rainforests to parts of Istania, people are now talking about this newfound adventure mecca at the top of the community.

Of course, Fang Yu didn't want the major guilds to monopolize this place, firstly, it would not be conducive to them leaving this place, and secondly, it was also to do the Tree Heart Lord a favor. The more people who come here, the better it will be for the Greytree people to stay here.

Of course, this is just a matter of discussion, but soon there will be a steady stream of adventurers arriving from far and wide - once they are sure that the 'leaves' below are true, there is nothing more important to the Chosen than experience.

Of course, if these Guilds of Nangnes can hold this place, it may not be a bad thing for them. At that point, they don't even need to participate in it, as long as they collect their 'tickets', they can make a lot of money.

But in any case, the time has come when they should leave-

Crystal and her army had retreated deeper underground, and the canyon outside was now the safest time to go. What's more, not long ago, Fang Yu also found some traces of bounty hunters, although the other party was not necessarily coming at them, but this was enough to make him more vigilant.

Bounty hunters have sharp noses, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do it, and they generally don't mind looking for an opportunity to make some extra money. So Fang Yu asked the others to reduce the number of times they went out, and at the same time began to make final preparations for leaving this place.

He said goodbye to the Heart of the Tree, to the Grayskin, and informed Alice and May, before he called for Emerald and asked the poet to help them find a way to collect the pack beasts from the others.

Since they had achieved their goal far beyond expectations, it was impossible for so many Earth Source Crystals to be brought out without relying on pack beasts or other means, and among the candidates Fang Yu could think of, there was hardly one more suitable for this than this Mr. Poet.

Although there was a certain amount of risk, he had learned how to take advantage of the risk from the ship's officer, who promised him a reward that the other party would almost never refuse, so that even if they wanted to betray them, they would have to weigh the gains and losses first, or finish the business first.

As it turned out, the other party not only fulfilled his commission, but also did a good job.

As for the other party's nagging words, Fang Yu could already afford to hear the cocoon in his ears, and he didn't care too much. Although the other party is not wrong, in this way they can indeed obtain greater benefits, but too much calculation, often means that bargaining wastes time, and may bring more unnecessary trouble.

He counted the number of leaves that the Seven Seas Brigade had obtained, and there were more than four thousand three hundred in total, half of which were their own booty, and the rest were 'tribute' from the other teams as part of that agreement.

However, Fang Yu was a little surprised after counting, and couldn't help but ask:

"Tsui Ye, it seems that the number is not quite right?"

But it wasn't that there weren't enough of them, but that there were a lot more than he expected.

Tsui Ye shrugged his shoulders, not surprised: "It's normal, because the original agreement was three percent, but they took the initiative to raise it to ten percent—what you see right now is the extra part." ”

But he was not surprised, but Fang Yu was quite surprised. Forget it if there is no private deduction, there are still those who take the initiative to increase the share, is there still such an operation?

Cui Ye looked at him, and then took the initiative to explain: "Generally speaking, there is naturally none, but there are exceptions." Come to think of it, after all, your contribution in that battle was obvious to all, if it weren't for you—"

But in the face of Fang Yu's suspicious target, he had no choice but to change his words: "Okay, okay, in fact, the reason is very simple, of course, I am not wrong, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have won that battle at all." Afterwards, they made a lot of money, but in such a situation, no one wants to just make a one-shot deal, not to mention that now that the reinforcements from the major guilds have arrived, the competition has increased sharply, and they take the initiative to increase their share, naturally with the idea of continuing to cooperate with us. ”

"No," Fang Yu was puzzled, "But we're already planning to leave?" ”

"That's a good point, but who knows?"

"You didn't tell them?"

"Of course, I'm not trying to keep it a secret for you, I'm keeping my mouth shut."

Cui Ye said this sentence sonorously and forcefully, and swore an oath.

And Fang Yu looked at this poet with a gaze that he didn't know whether to admire or helplessly, as if he saw a big black cauldron coming towards him. Needless to say, the share given to the Seven Seas Brigade has increased, and his income as a middleman must have also risen, and why he is so tight-lipped is definitely not because of professional ethics.

If the Seven Seas Brigade stays, everyone will be happy. But if they leave, the other party will definitely throw the pot on them, saying that they only take benefits and do nothing.

However, keeping it a secret is indeed advantageous for the Seven Seas Brigade. He couldn't help but smile bitterly when he looked at the other party, shook his head, and couldn't say anything bad for a while. I can only say that this pot is set by someone on our side.

The poet also smiled and said, "Actually, it's not bad for you to stay, you don't need to leave in such a hurry, now people everywhere are looking for ways to come to this place, and there is a great treasure below, isn't it." ”

Fang Yu slandered in his heart, can you stay so that you can continue to make profits from it?

Of course, if it weren't for the awkward status of the Seven Seas Brigade right now, he wouldn't have been able to seriously consider this proposal. The leaves of the Elder Tree are priceless to the other Electors, and how can they not be so?

More than 4,300 leaves, which is more than 200,000 experiences, seemed to him to be just more than one level of experience—but for a twenty-fifth level person, the first level of more experience was already quite a terrifying thing in itself.

If it is placed on Tang Xin, Tianlan and Ai Xiaoxiao, it will not be one level, but several levels. Especially Tang Xin and Ai Xiaoxiao, even if they pull them to the level of the second line of the team in one fell swoop, it is not impossible. And it's not just useful for the Elect, it's also useful for the Aborigines. This is very important, Baggins, Sylvid, and Big Cat People don't have many ways to level up, and using experience items may be one of the only ways to quickly increase their strength.

Of course, leaves are the team's assets, and how to use them is still up to everyone, and it is unlikely that they will be used by just one person. Either way, it's more than just important to Seven Seas Brigade.

It's just that no matter how meaningful it is, it has to be weighed against gains and losses, and since Fang Yu has decided to leave, he will not be easily shaken. He only silently looked at the dark and narrow canyon in the distance, and this was the first time they had stepped out of this gray and withered woodland in these days—

After the others were busy beside the pack beasts, even Sky Blue had her hands free to help, and she struggled to hand over a bag of earth source crystals to the big cat man, who then placed them firmly on the backs of the pack beasts.

Sylvid was counting, Tang Xin and Shesta were following her, and the walnuts in the ground were also helping.

He glanced down at the hands on his pocket watch, the time was dawn - the time on the ground, although the boundaries of time below the ground were not so clear, but everyone generally acted according to their original routine.

Therefore, there is still some silence in this withering forest at this moment, but just after the war, not many people will come to this place at this time.

Fang Yu closed the lid of the watch and looked at the darkness ahead before turning around. It's just that this time he directly skipped the other party's question, and suddenly asked, "Cuiye, do you know the situation on the side of the Holy White Stone Guild?" ”

Tsui Ye was slightly stunned, but immediately heard the song and knew what it meant, smiled and asked, "You actually want to ask about the Twilight Guild's side of the matter, right?" ”

Fang Yu nodded, he glanced at the latter, and had to say that the other party was indeed very capable. Although he made a lot of profits in the process, everyone just took what they needed, in fact, if it weren't for this guy, their trip might not have been so smooth.

"What else?" Tsui Ye shook his head, "Although the major guilds of Nannognes have formed a temporary alliance because of this sudden appearance of the crystal mine, those people know that this alliance has some consistency? This is really a questionable thing. ”

"They want to take this opportunity to squeeze out the people of Twilight, but unfortunately the forces behind Twilight are too big, who can afford to offend the descendants of Flor? But the Twilight people did do some things that were not on the table, which made it easier for them to reach an understanding with each other, and most of the conflicts between them and the Holy White Stone Guild were over. ”

He smiled: "Speaking of which, the one who has gained the most benefit here is the Holy White Stone Guild, I heard that their team has gained a high reputation in this incident, and has also been recognized by the tree people, and now they are almost about to be promoted to the core team." ”

Fang Yu was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that the leader of the Holy White Stone Guild would be a blessing in disguise, and they would probably benefit from it because of the reflection of time. But what he really cared about was Alice, and it looked like Miss Nightingale was going to continue to stay in the Sacred White Stone Guild.

After Tsui Ye finished speaking, he suddenly spoke, "Don't you really think about that proposal, friend?" To say that the Holy White Stone Guild has gained a high reputation in this battle, but compared to you, it is really a drop in the bucket. ”

Fang Yu looked at the other party with a little surprise, what benefits did he gain from this battle that even he didn't know about? The poet looked at the communication crystal on his chest before he spoke, "Do you remember the public channel we founded?" ”

Fang Yu nodded.

"They've decided to keep this channel for a long time and use it as a public channel on this battlefield, and as the founder of the channel, you should know your status, right?" Tsui Ye continued: "This place is so hot right now, it is conceivable that more and more people will join this channel in the future, if you have the heart to stay in this place, it won't be long before your reputation will surpass everyone in this place, and you can even be on an equal footing with the presidents and leaders of those guilds. ”

He raised his head and looked at Fang Yuan, a little serious for the first time, "I don't know if you know how big and beneficial this is, but if you leave, it may become someone else's in the future." Of course, I say all this because I also have an interest in it, after all, I am also one of the founders of this channel - but I understand that I am not a founder, and if you are not in this place, it will not be long before I will be replaced by someone else. ”

Fang Yu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, he really hadn't thought about this matter. But in Aitalia, that's a lot of political capital, and who doesn't want to be called back? Those guilds large and small in the southern realm, which one did not take the lead, or was slowly established by relying on the investment of capital.

But today, when super sports are becoming more and more mature, if you want to pull up a force of your own, its investment is far from comparable to the past. He stayed in this place, with his authority in this public channel, as well as his own ability, and the current popularity of this place, maybe one day he could really pull up a team of his own. Tsui Ye said that one day in the future, he could be on an equal footing with the local guild leaders, large and small, maybe it was not impossible.

However, Fang Yu thought for a moment and shook his head, this may sound very exciting, but it was not what he wanted. Besides, compared to the heads of a mere Nan Nornes guild leader, he had sworn to Miss Scarpe, that in the future he would build a large ship group, one of the best adventurers in Aitalia.

And what he wants to compete for is the power to sit on an equal footing with those top guilds, and as a free elector, he declares war on the top guild alliances like the Descendants of Flor.

That's what he's after.

Of course, these words are only in vain to make people laugh now, and he is not the boy who was the second year of secondary school back then, and now if he were to repeat the original words at that time in front of Miss Scarpe, he may not be embarrassed to say it.

It's just that the words of the past have been turned into beliefs in his heart, and he no longer speaks, but only shows them by deeds.

Therefore, he shook his head and did not answer Tsuiyah's words.

The poet looked at him for a long time, and then he realized that Fang Yu had made up his mind, and couldn't help sighing, but he was not too depressed. Although he saw a good opportunity lost, he was also a lazy person, and he also understood - this was about the stubbornness of a teenager.

Why didn't you go all the way like this?

"Then I'll take my leave first," Tsuiyano smiled, "If there is a chance, I hope there is still a chance to cooperate." ”

Of course, the last sentence is just a scene, Aitalia is so big, once she leaves, who knows if there will be a chance to meet again?

However, Fang Yu stopped the other party at this time: "Mr. Poet." ”

Esui Ye looked back, thinking that he had changed his mind.

It was only after Fang Yu was silent for a moment that he asked the question he had always wanted to ask: "You should have recognized our identities, right?" ”

Tsui Ye was slightly stunned, but he immediately laughed and winked at him: "What, of course not." ”

"Really?"

"Of course it is true," said the psalmist, with great sincerity, "if not, who are you?" ”

He waved his hand to Fang Yu and his party, then turned and walked towards the forest.

However, he had not taken a few steps before his voice came from that direction: "...... I certainly don't know any of the heroes of Dorifin, the dragon alchemists of Van Rick. That's something that has never happened before, and if someone asks about it, I'll just say I don't know. ”

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but smile dumbly.

It seems that as Sylvid said, the other party already knew their identities.

But it seems that this Mr. Poet is really a smart man, and he deeply understands that it is better to deal with a small team than a large guild.
