The cliffs on both sides sink into the depths of the sea of clouds, and the floating clouds wash over the white sand of the short bay, bringing up some of the lighter objects in the sea and piling them up on the gravel.

A hermit crab in the clouds held a large glittering claw to the group, but it was picked up curiously by one hand, and it struggled in vain for a moment, and was thrown far into the 'sea' by the small hand.

Sky Blue clapped her hands and couldn't help but chuckle.

She looked up.

In the distance is the boundary between the clouds and the sea, and the land is here—

The sea of clouds in Aitalia is a special 'substance', 'it' surrounds the whole world, it is imbued with the power of the wind element, suspended in the air, but it is not pure air.

And the stratification of the air and sea also comes from this.

It is mainly divided according to the abundance of 'wind', the 'sea of clouds' is the layer with the most abundant wind elemental power, and the main continents of Aitaria are located in this layer.

Above and below it are the 'Wind Relief Belt', which is named because the wind element is thinner and the air flow is more gentle. Due to the weakening of buoyancy, most boat-type floating ships cannot enter this empty layer, and only military winged airships can be active in this level.

After crossing the 'Wind Zone', there is the Quiet Sky and the Quiet Sea, which are the gates of the forbidden area that airships cannot pass, and even the creatures of the sea of clouds rarely reach this empty layer, and only some rare species - such as giant jellyfish can inhabit and survive on the first floor.

Below the Silent Sea lies the legendary Abyssal Sea, the ruined land of Aitalia, where the legendary collapsed continent of Essorin is located.

But few people have ever been to that place, so much so that there have been many legends about the deep sea for thousands of years.

As for what is the place above the still sky-

Unlike the Abyssal Sea, there is a name familiar to the Aborigines of Aitaria and the Elect - the Second World, the Frontier Continent.

Sky Blue narrowed her eyes.

In the distance, she saw a huge boat floating above the clouds at the end of her vision, twelve huge side-by-side rigid airbags, streamlined hulls, looming in the clouds.

That's the Berio, the cargo ship of Cloud Bay Cargo that the elf princess found.

"What a big ship!"

The little French girl couldn't help but exclaim.

In fact, this ship is nowhere near larger than a freighter on Earth, and even more so in terms of tonnage.

It's just that because airships are more three-dimensional, most of the hulls are not hidden below the waterline. Coupled with the numerous sail wings, ailerons and airbags, it looks more massive and visually impactful.

Kita also nodded, her dark eyes reflecting the 'giant ship', full of surprise.

And Berio has been at the Short Bay anchorage for a day and a night.

To replenish their supplies, sailors set up camp at anchorage in dinghys, piling up fresh water, timber and food from nearby on the beach.

For the owner of a cargo ship, abiding by the agreement is the most important thing, and spending two days at anchorage is undoubtedly a very serious situation.

Fang Yu originally thought that these people would have a lot of complaints, but he didn't expect that the first mate of the ship who came to receive them, a man who was very good at talking and easing the atmosphere, the other party looked very humble in front of the elf princess, and it didn't look like a temporary employment relationship at all.

He did not blame everyone for what he had seen and heard in the past two days, but praised the environment of the Short Bay anchorage, as if they were willing to stay here for a while, and his attitude was like a spring breeze.

However, Fang Yu could see that the other party was probably looking at Princess Brian's face.

He couldn't help but wonder what the ship had to do with Princess Miaoxing, but Sylvid didn't know what to do, and only smiled at him mysteriously.

Fang Yu realized that he was not interested in asking for himself, but it was unlikely that such a large ship had come just to pick them up, but it was not clear what it was carrying in order to carry something.

It doesn't seem like he's in a hurry either.

It is important to know that most of the cargo in the air and sea needs to be transported urgently, such as the famous 'silver trout express' between the Oshu and the Kaurin-Ihurian.

Or metal raw materials, or weapons - weapons.

There were also some other scattered goods piled up on the beach.

The puppet that had been brought out of the grave was thrown on the ground in a pile, like a rusty suit of armor in the sun, and the group examined it carefully for a long time, but did not come to any conclusions.

The lion man picked one up and gently scratched the rust on the surface with his fingernails, revealing a metallic luster underneath, and some strange magic patterns were faintly visible.

He shook his head, a red mane glistening in the sun, "It doesn't look like a puppet, you really see it move?" Isn't it going to fall off the wall and freak out the two of you little girls? ”

"No, big cat," Tianlan was half angry with it: "It really moved, and it walked so many steps!" She gestured, "I, Kita, and Sister Attila have all seen it." ”

Attila nodded, "Alright, Red, stop teasing them. I did see it, and it came out of the corner, and it really looked like a puppet. ”

"But it's not a puppet."

Red shook his head flatly.

Everyone couldn't help but look to the side, and the older knight also shook his head: "I don't look like it, it's not like this inside the structure." ”

Fang Yu nodded. He picked up an iron glove and turned it upside down to shake the dust out of it, the inner cavity of the glove was empty, there was nothing but dust, and there was no trace of the transmission mechanism or anything like that.

By any measure, this is a piece of armor.

But it's a little different from normal armor.

The first is much thicker. The thickest part of the cuirass was about an inch thick, and in Aitalia, even the magic armor did not have this thickness, and the whole set of armor weighed about half a ton, and it took a lot of effort for everyone to bring this thing out.

And then the magic pattern on the face is also very special, although it seems to be an alchemy formula at a glance, but in fact it is not. The intricate patterns on the armor overlapped each other like ripples, very different from the round shape of the alchemy array, and looked like a genre that Fang Ou had never seen before.

But it is not the Holliman School, the Holliman School is just an improvement on traditional alchemy, adding some things from the Worship Dragon Sect itself, but in the final analysis, it still does not depart from its origins.

"Maybe it's a ghost armor." Parker made his own suggestion on the sidelines: "I know there are undead creatures......"

"It's not," Red still shook his head, "There's no breath of negative energy on it, can't you feel it, little one?" ”

"How can I feel it, I'm not you god-to-god guys." The Paparal's proposal was instantly rejected, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"What do you think?" The lionman shook his mane and looked at Ditek and Attila.

Both nodded.

"It's not natural, but it's not something twisted, I can feel it." The elven girl looked at the 'armor' and said.

"Speaking of which," Red asked, picking up a tattered shoulder armor and throwing it back into the pile with a clatter, "isn't this just a tattered piece of armor, and why are you so interested in it?" ”

"That's not armor," Azure said aloud, "it's a puppet, I see it." ”

"Okay, okay, even if it's a puppet, so what?" Red lit his pipe, lowered his head in his mouth, and said, "What does it have to do with us?" ”

The little French girl couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and looked back at Attila.

The elf girl frowned, remembering what happened in the Yongdao before, shook her head and said, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a little concerned." ”

"A little concerned?"

"I felt as if it was calling to me, and I don't know if it was my delusion." Attila replied with a frown.

"Calling you?"

Red and Dictor couldn't help but get serious, and the two Marland knights glanced at each other.

"Are you sure that's not your delusion, Attila?" The lionman removed his pipe, and asked angrily.

The elven girl shook her head unconfidently, "I'm not sure, Red, it's cold and dark underground, and I'm not sure if it's still in the illusion at that time. ”

"But you are a pure believer in Amea, and the usual delusions cannot influence you," replied Red, "and I think this thing is a wicked thing." ”

The older knight nodded.

"It's not a good sign," Red said, shaking his head, "Items that have the ability to affect people's minds are probably not good things, this armor has strange things, it has the ability to deceive people's hearts." ”

Dickett turned around and asked Fang Yu on the side, "Did you think of anything?" ”

Fang Yu couldn't help frowning.

He remembered what he had seen in the illusion, and the dragon's golden pupil seemed to have such abilities, so it could bewitch the dwarven hero through the ring of golden flames.

But how could this be linked to this inexplicable armor? It didn't even appear in Dorifin's vision.

Moreover, the power of the Dragon's Golden Flame and the Ring of Golden Flame are indeed in their own hands.

He couldn't help but whisper and asked, "But Mr. Dicht, there doesn't seem to be any relevant clue in Doriffin's illusion?" ”

The older knight shook his head slowly, "Doriffin left us with a lot of questions, and what we saw was really only a part of the day. And no one could say before that, just as none of us could understand why Sir Haggerston had betrayed us. ”

Fang Yu was silent.

It seems that this is true, and it seems that there are deeper secrets buried in the city, but those secrets have long been buried under the rubble along with the catastrophe of thirty years ago, and can no longer be known.

"Speaking of which," Fang Yu suddenly spoke, "this thing was hidden under the cemetery along with those things?" ”

The things he was talking about were naturally the 'treasures' that Azure and Kita had found out from underground.

That was actually a part of the materials sent by the Craftsmen Association of the Kaulin Kingdom to the Kapka Craftsmen Association - not only the batch from thirty years ago, Fang Yu and the others carefully inspected that batch of materials, and found that the labels on the materials were very different from the time before and after.

This is obviously a startling finding, suggesting that there was a deliberate attempt to withhold the supplies from the Artisans Guild to Kapka, and it appears that these people were not dragon-worshippers.

Because judging from the results of Princess Brianne Caranhill-Ethereal Star's interrogation of the captives of the Dragon Worshippers, the other party seems to know nothing about these things.

And the Paparlar crossbowmen had been thinking about finding the 'treasures of thirty years ago', but they didn't expect to let Sky Blue and Kita strike right and find something like this.

Although this is not a 'treasure from thirty years ago', because according to Kapka's records, the batch of materials from thirty years ago has long been found in the ruins-

It's just that some of these materials do have some of the same materials from thirty years ago.

For example, the box of gold coins was part of the funds handed over at that time. People may think that this part of the funds was lost in the disaster, but they do not realize that they were transferred long before the disaster.

These things have been hidden under the graveyard for thirty years, and if it weren't for Azure and Kita discovering the tunnel in the illusion, they don't know how long it would be before they see the light of day.

The question is, where did the people who hid them go after that? Theoretically, if those people were still alive, they would not be able to give up such a large fortune.

And those people also lost their lives in the disaster?

But the question is, if that's the case, why did this tunnel also appear in Dorifin's illusion?

And what made Fang Yu even more puzzled.

What does this mysterious armor have to do with these things, whether it was part of the withheld material, or if it was already in that place long before that.

But apparently no one could answer his question, and Azure and Kita didn't know much about the origin of the armor, so they were sure that it had been placed in a corner of the tomb until then.

Attila shook her head, except for the inexplicable call she felt before the door was opened, and the armor had been like a dead thing since then, and she hadn't reacted at all.

Red proposes to throw this thing overboard, and as a paladin of Marland, he has a natural aversion to these strange things.

However, this proposal was unanimously rejected by everyone, including Dicht.

"This thing may have something to do with Dorifin's back," the older knight began, "if you don't mind, leave it to me and let Princess Brian take it to a place where it should be, which will help us understand what really happened back then." ”

"Yes." Attila nodded, clearly agreeing with the offer.

She nodded, and the others naturally didn't have any opinions, and even Red could only shrug helplessly. Fang Yu took one last look at the strange magic pattern on the armor, and he always felt that there might be some secret hidden in the mysterious pattern.

But unfortunately, he couldn't see anything.

Instead, he saw Momiji walking over from a distance with a serious face, and said to him, "Ed, we're leaving, something happened in the guild." ”

"What's wrong?" Fang Yu saw that her expression was wrong, and couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing, several of the guild's camps have been attacked by unknown forces, and they look like people from the Dragonfire Guild." Although it may involve the secret matters of the guild, Momiji thought about it for a while and still answered.

"What!?"

Fang Yu was taken aback, he never dreamed that the matter on Doriffin's side was not resolved, and the Oak Knights of Tapolis had not yet gone to trouble the Dragonfire Guild.

The latter actually took the initiative?

He heard him right, right?
