"The complex terrain of the Sky Gorge will provide us with cover, and the earth elemental reaction from the land will also cover out the wind element disturbance of the Seven Seas Traveler, so we are actually safer here than in the air sea."

"But Miss Sylvede, how are we going to get out of this place?"

"I'm afraid we'll have to go the other way, guys, they've blocked the open sea of Nognes."

In the light of the flatter lights, Sylvid's white fingertips were drawing a line north from the thick parchment map, "But we can head north along the Great Rift Valley, through the Aube Wetlands, and deep into the Old Ladder Mountains—"

The crowd fell silent.

Although they won the two battles during the day, the latter one can only be said to be a narrow victory.

With the size of the Seven Seas Traveler, it would be difficult to fight all the way like this.

And it's a hassle to resupply.

But is it really safe to go inland?

Fang Plover looked at the map and hesitated, the Old World Ladder Mountain Range stretches from Nognes in the west to the Ka-Turland Strait in the east, and is the first branch of the Eldron Plateau, and its steep cliffs to the north are the southern end of the Kaulin-Ishurian, and the south blocks the warm and humid air currents from the Gray Whale Islands, and the rain forms the most lush rainforest area on the continent, Asuka, one of the homelands of the lizardmen.

The terrain of this route is intricate, which is conducive to hiding, but its steepness is far from comparable to the cave bottom mountains and red mountains they have once passed. The mountains that gave birth to the continent's second and third highest peaks, which were covered in snow and ice all year round, made him doubt that the Seven Seas Traveler's small size would be able to pass through the area.

"It's dangerous, but it's safer on the one hand, and more importantly, we can only try it this way, and the Seven Seas Traveler is not in a good situation at the moment, and we have to find a place to stop and repair."

Sylvid's voice was quiet, "I'm afraid this is the only way we can find a suitable hiding place on this route." ”

While everyone was discussing, Alyssa suddenly pushed the door open and walked in.

She looked at the others, and finally her gaze fell on Fang Yuan, and said, "Leader, here's a communication request, it's from ......"

“…… Olenze, the guild that we had contact with once. ”

Fang Yu was slightly stunned before he remembered the guild.

At that time, they bought a batch of Earth Source Crystals in each other's hands, and later experienced some twists and turns, and they originally saw that they were going to take the Earth Source Crystals into their hands, but they didn't expect that to happen.

Since then, the Seven Seas Brigade has been exhausted and has no intention of caring about anything else, and although the deal was reached verbally, neither side actually came up with real money, so it was not closed.

But what is the situation when the other party takes the initiative to contact them at this time?

He immediately thought about whether it would be a trap.

It's just not quite like it, who would believe this blatant trap?

"Is it the guild called Art Controversy?"

Alyssa nodded slightly.

The conference hall converted from the air battle deck fell silent for a while, and everyone in the seats looked a little surprised, and some of them expressed their objections.

For example, the Paparals, "I don't think I need to pay attention to them, this is mostly a trap, knowing that we are now wanted criminals and still running to take the initiative to contact, what kind of intentions can be assured?" ”

"You're the wanted." Tianlan was not happy, patted the table and said, "If you can't speak, you won't say a few words." ”

Fang Yu asked, "What do they mean?" ”

"It seems to have something to do with that batch of Earth Source Crystals, Leader."

Do these people still want to sell the Earth Source Crystal to them, or do they want to take the opportunity to extort them?

He thought about it for a while, and was a little moved by that batch of earth source crystals, and decided that he might as well listen to what the other party had to say.

Anyway, no matter what the trap is, there will be no shortage of meat when you listen to it

And if it's a trap, he might be able to spy on the other party's intelligence in turn.

So at his suggestion, Alyssa took the communication crystal.

After she polished the crystal, in the flickering red light, a voice sounded: "Excuse me, is it Captain Ed?" ”

The voice seemed a little hesitant, it sounded like that of a young man, but it was not surprising that most of the Electors were young.

There was a whistling wind on the other side, not like it was in a building, but like it was out of the wilderness.

Fang Yu was silent for a moment and replied, "I am, what is the matter?" ”

“…… It's about those Earth Source Crystals, does Leader Ed still have the heart to ask for these things? ”

Fang Yu paused slightly, "You still plan to sell these Earth Source Crystals to us?" ”

He paused, "But it doesn't seem necessary, or do you think we're going to pay more for it?" ”

He replied, "Leader Ed, you misunderstood, we didn't plan to buy the Earth Source Crystal to you at a high price. ”

"And what do you mean?"

"We'd like to ask you for a favor and pay for these Earth Source Crystals."

Fang Yu immediately fell silent.

He instinctively felt that this was a trap, how could there be such a coincidence?

But while he was groaning, the other party spoke again: "Captain Ed, do you remember Mr. Cyrian?" ”

As if afraid that they would not understand, the young man added, "This is the gentleman who came to negotiate with you that day." ”

Of course Fang Yu remembered that person.

At that time, the other party came to negotiate with them on behalf of the art dispute, and in that negotiation, they managed to expose the trick of the inner ghost named Tus.

He still has a deep impression of this Mr. Cyrian, who is serious and scrupulous, reasonable and restrained, and an aborigine. In that negotiation, if it weren't for the other side's constant sanity, it would not have been so easy for them to turn the tide of the situation.

He nodded, "Remember, what's wrong?" ”

"After negotiating with you that day, those things happened again, and that fellow Tus became an informant trying to help the Fleur Descendants get out of your hands," the young man said slowly, "and his contact with the Flor Descendants naturally became a legitimate and legitimate matter under that wanted warrant, and in turn, Mr. Cyrian became your accomplice and insider under his slander." ”

Fang Yu was a little amused when he heard it, this is a matter of conclusive evidence, only a fool would believe such a statement.

"So that's what you guys really think?"

"It doesn't matter how we think it's true, but the archons of Orenze accepted it."

"So?"

"They arrested Mr. Cyrian......"

Fang Yu frowned, "I guess the Hailin Chamber of Commerce came out to testify for that Mr. Tus?" ”

"As you think, Elder Eddard."

Fang Yu understood it all at this moment, and couldn't help but snort from his nose.

The descendants of Flor should be trying to keep their own people, after all, this matter is easy for them.

But with the same temperament of the guy as Intus at that time, it is entirely possible to bite Sirian in turn.

But the Hailin Chamber of Commerce covered the sky with one hand, and the consul actually believed it.

This kind of arrogance and indistinguishability between right and wrong only made him a little disgusted, but he shook his head:

"You want us to help get people out? But first of all, it's your own business for art, and secondly, I don't have the ability to do it. ”

What are you kidding, although this matter has something to do with them. But Sirian offended the villain for the benefit of his guild.

The art battle does not want to clear the stigma of its own people, but instead pins its hopes on them?

For the sake of the earth source crystal worth millions of miles, go to the tiger's den in Longtan again?

Fang Yu even suspected that the other party was using this lame excuse to trick them back.

Compared with the Seven Seas Traveler, he still knows which is more important.

But the other party was silent for a moment before he said with some difficulty: "...... Sorry, we know this doesn't make sense, and in fact we didn't think anything so whimsical. ”

There was a pause, "What we want to ask Leader Ed for help with is something else......"

Fang Yu was stunned.

"You're right, we know that this should be the Guild's business, and Mr. Sirian has done so much for the Guild, so we should fight for him. Cutus insisted that Mr. Cyrian was inclined to make a deal with you, and that the President did not want to offend the aboriginal rulers, not to mention the Alliance and the Flor descendants, and most importantly, Mr. Cyrian was only a native. ”

"Without the support of the Guild, we are powerless to protect Mr. Cyrian at the moment, but he has a daughter, and we escorted Miss Betty out of the city, but she is also wanted now...... We can't think of a place to put her ......."

"You guys?"

A wry smile came from there: "Okay, Elder Ed, in fact, we can't represent the Art Dispute Guild. We stole it from the guild, and it was decided by a few of our friends who usually have a good relationship with Mr. Cyrian to send Miss Betty out, and Mr. Cyrian still has your contact number, so we find him, and then find you through her......"

Only then did Fang Yu understand the cause and effect.

Although there is such a thing as friendship between the Aborigines and the Elect, it is not uncommon in this day and age.

There are a lot of aborigines on the Seven Seas Traveler, and Big Cat Man, Miss Attila, Baggins, Pasha, and Shesta get along well with everyone.

Not to mention the relationship between him and Sylvid.

But when there is a conflict of personal interests, it is still a rare quality to stand up for a friend.

Not to mention that this is not necessarily the case between the Aborigines and the Elect, even between the Elect and the Elect.

If what the other party said was true, Fang Yu admired these people's choices.

But that doesn't mean anything.

He thought for a moment before asking:

"So, you want us to shelter this young lady?"

"Yes."

Fang Yu couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, he never thought that there would be such a follow-up development in this matter. They had only had one contact with each other, and they had only one encounter with that Mr. Cyrian.

But when you think about it, they really seem to be the best choice for each other.

If there was anyone in Nognes who could take this young lady to safety at this moment, they were indeed the most reliable people.

After all, they themselves are wanted, and it is impossible to compromise with the royal family of Cowlin or the people of the Flor descendants.

But the question is -

If the other party can believe them, how can they believe that this is not a trap?

Although the earth source crystal is used as a reward, it sounds quite fragrant.

But at this time, Sylvid suddenly spoke: "How many earth source crystals did you steal, all of them?" ”

Her sudden question surprised everyone.

Especially Fang Yuan, in his impression, Miss Noble is not a person who will easily trust others.

Not to take risks easily-

He hesitated and replied:

"I'm sorry, no, it's only about a third of what I originally agreed to do with you."

One-third of half a ton of earth source crystals, although much less than the original, is also worth more than one million lissels.

The point is, for the current Seven Seas Brigade, this is something that is difficult to buy even with money.

Sylvid looked calm: "But how are you going to prove that everything is true?" ”

There was silence.

It was also in a hurry that they came up with this solution.

But as Sylvid said, they had no way of proving that what they were saying was true.

But the ship's master smirked, "If you have a way, I have a way." ”

The other party asked a little eagerly, "What way?" ”

"It's simple."

……

The Seven Seas Traveler is quietly moored in the darkness.

The sails had been lowered, leaving only two bare masts reaching out to the sky.

The hull was covered with scars from days of fighting, and a single shell even pierced the bow, leaving a makeshift patch there.

There were many places missing from the ship's side, and the stern and mast were also damaged.

As Sylvid explains, the Seven Seas Traveler had suffered heavy losses of its own in previous battles, especially against the Causeway.

If you don't stop for maintenance, I'm afraid that the battle will be unsustainable.

Fortunately, the ship was already stocked with materials, so as long as it wasn't a problem with the keel being damaged or the Fairy Heart, it could be repaired in a day or two.

Not to mention restoring a new one, but seven or eight percent of it is no problem.

But only if they can find a suitable hiding place.

Their captors were in close pursuit, and on several occasions in the past few days they had staggered past each other, almost being discovered by those men. It was all thanks to the small size of the Seven Seas Traveler and the intricate terrain cover of the Sky Gorge that it was able to avoid the other party's eyeline.

But after a few days, they hardly had time to stop and recuperate, and it was often the limit to be able to anchor for a few hours in the twilight.

Not to mention ship repair, even daily maintenance is very urgent-

After a busy day, Fang Yu finally found some free time. He leaned on the side of the ship, looking not far away at a cliff that was also in the darkness.

Not every part of the sea is suitable for winged boats, especially in the twists and turns of the gap.

Fortunately, the Seven Seas Traveler was only a small boat, so it could hide in this narrow cavern, and by night, it could stay for about a few hours, and then have to leave before dawn.

This is already three days after they have been in contact with the people of the art controversy.

For half a week, the Seven Seas Traveler had been deep into the Great Rift Valley, heading north along the Empty Gorge, where the shores of the rift were already deep in dense rainforest.

He turned back and asked, "Do you think they're coming, Sylvid?" ”

Everyone was resting, and it was just him and Sylvid left on deck.

Sylvid smiled, "I don't know. ”

Fang Yu looked at her in surprise, Miss Ship Officer was trying her best to disagree with those people at that time, and he thought that the other party had already made up his mind.

"Don't worry, the time will come," Sylvid smiled and whispered, "if what they say is true, we can send that young lady to Kailano, she is only wanted by the Archon of Orenze, and she will be safe there, and it is none of our business what those men do with her after that." ”

"Kailano, I think I've heard of that place."

"Beyond Mount Piried, the second highest peak of the ladder of the old world, and after that is Kailano. It was the border of the kingdom, and they could even travel to Asuka if they wanted to. ”

Sylvid looked back at him and smiled lightly, "If it's just a ride, this ticket is still quite expensive." ”

Fang Yu thought to himself, close to two hundred kilograms of earth source crystal, can it not be expensive.

It's not an earth-based hedron, it's all measured by the ton, like the difference between metals and precious metals.

He understood Sylvid's intentions, and if it was safe, the sale would not be a loss.

He actually understood a deeper meaning, these earth source crystals were only available to herself, and if it were someone else, she might not necessarily take this risk.

But the question is, how exactly is she sure it's true?

He was about to ask the question, but it was at this moment that a silver light suddenly flashed in the darkness in the distance.

"Our guests have arrived."

Sylvid looked at the silver light and spoke softly.
