A few people waited in the living room for a while, and Fang Yu looked at the decorations on the walls around him, looking a little cramped and uneasy. Only a fluffy little monster not far away looked at them nervously, and when the box took a crystal ball on the coffee table, it hurriedly screamed, "Sir, that thing is ......"

"Alright, Lulu," Sylvid interrupted with a smile, "Mr. Box is just curious, you let him see it." ”

Dwarfs are known to live very long, some even outlive their owners. And-Uriel's two dwarfs have been following him since he was in his prime, and Sylvid has known them since he was young.

The dwarf grunted. Dwarves and gnomes thought dwarfs were stupid, but they had good memories and recognized Sylvid in the first place. It knew that this was the granddaughter of the master's friend, and although it could not tell the relationship between humans, it also knew that it was also one of the 'masters'.

Before they could see the legendary alchemist, they heard a burst of laughter coming from inside the house. "All the saints, see who this is?" The ceiling trembled with laughter, and in the midst of laughter, a voice of surprise said.

Fang Yu turned his head and saw an old man with a white beard but strong spirits walking out with a cane.

The old man looked at them with a smile in his silver-gray eyes, of course, mainly at Sylvede: "The little girl of the Albert family, who has not seen her for a few years, has become a great beauty, and look--it is really similar to your mother, it is simply carved out of a mold." ”

He held a hand behind his back, and said with a teasing meaning: "You and your father have not been here for a long time since your grandfather left, and I almost thought you had forgotten about me, old fellow." ”

Sylved smiled slightly, nodded and saluted, "Mr. And-Uriel, long time no see." ”

"It's been a long time," said the old man, shaking his cane, "I've heard some bad news, since your father left for the Second World, I've been wanting to see you, but for some reason, I haven't been able to make the trip." Besides, Princess Brianne wrote to me that the lady was of noble character, so I was relieved. ”

Sylvid nodded: "I learned a lot from Lady Burrian, she is a very good person, but unfortunately good people are not rewarded." I haven't heard from Madame since I fled from there......"

There was a hint of sadness in her pale blue eyes, but she was still calm.

Fang Yu listened to the conversation between the two on the side, and couldn't help but glance at the noble daughter with some surprise, it turned out that the other party had known Princess Brian for a long time, and it seemed that the lady who lived with her was also personally selected by the elf princess.

However, with Brian's relationship with Prince Coleman, and the prince's relationship with Sir Marvey, this does not seem surprising.

"Hmph," And-Uriel snorted softly when he heard this, and a hint of disdain flashed in his silver-gray eyes, "The juniors of the Faloster family have been a little carried away, they seem to have forgotten that Kaurin-Ishurian is an allied kingdom, not the private property of some family—...... a hundred years ago"

The old man's eyes flashed, and he stopped his mouth in time.

He changed his words: "...... After I heard about you, I didn't give them any trouble, although my old man is no longer the leader of the Southern Alchemist Alliance, at least it is useful to speak. It's ridiculous that they tried to convince me, but it's a pity that the old fellow of Falaise ran for nothing......"

In today's kingdom, the people who can ignore the prime minister are probably also these legends of the previous generation.

Fang Yu couldn't help but glance at the other party - it turned out that the Alchemist Alliance and the Craftsman Association were not on good terms, and it seemed that the other party was instructed behind his back, this former president of the Alchemist Alliance obviously had considerable influence on the Southern Alliance.

He looked at Sylvid again, and thought to himself that Miss Ship Officer must have guessed this.

Sylvade was secretly bowing his head to him.

The nobleman's daughter turned back again, and then replied, "...... With the strength of the Southern Alliance alone, it is difficult to fight against the royal family, but it will only give the 'juniors of the Faloster family' an excuse to meddle in the south. ”

She quoted the other party's statement, and Fang Yu actually understood that 'junior of the Faloster family' refers to the prime minister, because it is the other party's surname.

"Do you really think I'm angry, little girl?" The old man smiled dumbly and shook his head: "...... This is also the interest of the Southern Alliance, whether it is us, dwarves or elves, they will not sit back and watch the royal family dominate. ”

He suddenly stopped and looked at everyone: "Wait, Albert's little girl, this is not like you at all......"

There was a hint of surprise in And-Uriel's silver-gray eyes: "I see, it's Elf Evan Quinn, you're here to be a lobbyist for Princess Brian—"

He paused for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, laughing so hard that the ceiling trembled again: "I should have thought of this a long time ago, there is no simple one in your family, you have never been fine like your father, and you have never been able to go to the Three Treasures Palace." ”

The old man even said a witty remark from the earth.

After all, this is a Chinese competition area, and the cultural interaction is also in-depth and mutual.

Sylvade only smiled slightly, "You guessed it wrong, Mr. And-Uliel, Princess Brianne asked me to take the talk, but she also plans to come to see you in person." This time, I am not here for this reason, but mainly to visit you. ”

The old man laughed: "I don't believe you, you have been very cunning since you were a child, little girl Sylvede." ”

Sylvide was rarely embarrassed, her face flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but glance at her captain.

But Fang Yu obviously thought so, and in his opinion, his ship's captain should have a pair of fox ears.

And the aristocratic daughter knew what he was thinking when she saw his expression, and couldn't help but squint her eyes dangerously.

André Uriel watched the two interact from the sidelines, apparently he had already noticed the three people on this side - Fang Ou, Luo Yu and Box, Tata was hidden in Fang Yuan's hood and did not show up.

The old man smiled and said, "Well, since the little girl of the Albert family has only come to visit my old fellow, then we will not talk about these unfortunate topics. He pointed to Fang Yu and said, "Don't you tell me about it, these are the Holy Chosen One, right?" ”

Sylvid nodded: "This is the box and Mr. Luo Yu." ”

"This is ......"

She paused for a moment and looked at Fang Yuan: "His name is Ed......" The girl suddenly took Fang Yuan's hand and pulled him to Ander Uriel, without speaking, only a slight blush.

Fang Yu didn't react at all, only buzzed in his head, and was stunned.

And And-Uriel looked at the pair of young girls and saw the hands of the two holding together, and couldn't help but smile and squint his eyes, obviously understanding something.

"Grow up, little girl of the Albert family," the old man smiled slightly, "It's a pity that your father hasn't returned from the Second World yet, but as your grandfather's old buddy, let me help you test this young man." ”

Sylvid covered her smile and didn't answer.

And Fang Yu was a mess in his head, and before he could figure out what was going on, his ears were buzzing.

And the old legendary alchemist was glancing at his right hand with an all-knowing old gaze, and the metal glove that froze there suddenly revealed a hint of playfulness.

"Alchemist?"

"Huh?" Fang Yu was completely dazed.

And the old man had already seen the coat of arms on his chest.

Alchemists from different places have different coats of arms, and a fine light flashed in the old man's eyes: "Kapka Society? ”

Fang Yu reacted at this time, and nodded his head completely mechanically.

And-Uriel found it somewhat amusement, that the little guy was actually from the same background as himself, and that he seemed to have passed the apprenticeship stage, although it was an indisputable fact that the Chosen One entered the realm quickly in the early stages.

But he is well-informed, and naturally knows that at Fang Yuan's age, he can be regarded as a leader among the Holy Chosen One.

"Since your crush is an alchemist, little girl, that's a coincidence," replied André-Uriel with a smile, "and it just so happens that our old man has recently made something interesting, little fellow, how about playing a few games of chess with me?" ”

"Playing chess?"

Although Fang Yu was a little confused, he was not stupid.

There are several kinds of beast chess in Aitalia, as well as some board games that have been brought over the planet, and have been widely spread on the floating continent for half a century. However, since the other party mentioned alchemy, it is definitely not an ordinary board game.

But didn't they come to each other to identify magic items, why did they get involved in playing chess again? Fang Yu couldn't help but look back at Sylvid, but the nobleman's daughter only smiled slightly, completely ignoring him.

Fang Yu was confused, and he didn't know when he offended this eldest lady.

The old man, apparently not giving him a chance to refuse, turned to the little monster with his cane and said, "Lulu, take us to the basement." ”

He turned back again: "Albert's little girl, you and the others will come with you." ”

Sylvide nodded.

The elf led the group through a corridor in front, the sunlight outside the arched window fell on the carpet, and Sylvid looked at the snow outside, and then asked, "Are there any other guests in the manor?" ”

And-Uriel also looked at the carriage outside the manor and nodded: "It's from the Copper Bay family," the old man sighed: "Gnomes and dwarves are obsessed with technology, and they don't know anything about the intrigues of the human world, and this time my old friend was used as a gunman—"

One of them was very familiar with the alchemist pattern of Kalin-Eshurian, and the other was from the noble circle in the kingdom, and when they heard this, they immediately understood that the person who came was the president of the Craftsmen's Guild.

Falaise - Copper Bay.

"Wouldn't it be nice for you to leave Mr. Falaise alone with us?" Sylvide asked, a little surprised.

"Let him wait, brainless fellow," André-Uriel said a little angrily, "and it is good for him to be taken advantage of and not know it, and to leave him there to calm down." ”

The two of them saw that although he was angry verbally, he was obviously angry because his old friend was being used by others but didn't know it, and he didn't really want to give the other party a disadvantage, but rather because he was dissatisfied with the prime minister's actions.

This sulking feeling is more like a child's act than a legendary alchemist.

Sylvid couldn't help but smile slightly.

And Fang Yu's uneasiness about the other party in his heart has also disappeared a lot.

The group went all the way to the basement - the basement was not as dark as expected, but very spacious and bright, with brilliant lights, and a crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling reflected the place brightly.

Under the light, the yellow copper pipes transmit heating from the outside, dissipating the cold underground, and making the room with thick carpets warm like spring.

It's not so much a basement as a lavish workshop, with rows of bookshelves lined with thick books and ladders on which a few dwarfs go up and down, sorting out rows of books.

Silvid had never seen any of these little monsters, apparently slaves that Ander Uriel had bought later. In the center of the basement is a huge machine with a round shape and a copper-colored appearance.

The Eastern and Western Plover has also been seen in the Craftsman's Association, and it is a magic furnace.

Ander-Uriel led the group to the magic forge. There was a hexagonal prismatic crystal in the center of the huge magic device, and he snapped his fingers, and a ray of light lit up from the crystal and fell to everyone's feet.

Fang Yu then realized that this magic guide furnace seemed to have been transformed—in Aitalia, the clear crystal was almost always an attributeless crystal—it was not strange for the magic guide furnace to use an attribute-free crystal as the main crystal, but this one was obviously too big.

As soon as the light turned on, it immediately formed a staggered grid and appeared in mid-air. On top of the grid, there seem to be some different virtual images suspended.

These virtual figures seemed to be chess pieces standing on them, but when Fang Yu looked closely, he realized that they were small, flexibly constructed projections.

Some of them look like clockwork elves, but some of them look like other different builds.

He was slightly stunned, and suddenly felt as if he had seen this thing there, wasn't this the training system that the ID named Shana had sent to him? It's a little different, but it's basically the same thing.

They are all devices that project the craftsman's system into the reality of Aitalia.

"Speaking of which, little one, you should have passed the career assessment, right?"

The old man turned his head and looked at him with a smile: "I don't know if you remember the assessment device in Kapka, which was also the invention of the great alchemist Eddard - speaking of which, the great alchemist has the same name as you, and the magic engine he invented for training was mainly to train the next generation of alchemists." ”

"It has been passed down from generation to generation, and has become an inevitable part of the alchemist's legacy, but for thousands of years, no one has thought of improving it," he said, a little proud, as if he was showing off a proud work, "but this one is different, it is an improved product of the training magic engine." ”

"It's something that a bunch of old men have come up with in their own boredom, and some of the designs of your Elector system," And-Uriel handed him and Sylved a crystal, "It's not just one here, it's many, and we've connected them all together through the Aether Mana Web—"

He motioned for Fang Plover and Sylvid to pick up the crystal.

As soon as Fang Yu grasped the crystal, he immediately felt a connection between himself and the huge magic device, he glanced at the crystal in his hand, he himself was an alchemist, of course, he immediately reacted that this was a resonance crystal.

But it was much more resonant than he remembered, and there seemed to be some different structures inside.

As he was observing, he suddenly heard all sorts of voices in his ears—many old voices, arguing with each other, as if Fang Yu had suddenly been placed in a vegetable market where he was bargaining and arguing:

"One stinky move!"

"Coppernose, you old fellow's skills are getting worse and worse."

"Shut up, Boots family idiot!"

"I'm just not used to this thing......"

"Notice that he's starting to build a ...... with the seventeenth"

"Damn, you're cheating!"

Fang Yu listened to these voices in amazement.

When he raised his head, he saw that the 'chess pieces' on the light net not far away had come to life one by one, and they were attacking each other fiercely.

It turned out that it was not an optical network at all, but a chessboard.

He opened his mouth wide.

And at this time, And-Uriel held the crystal in his hand and shouted: "Everyone, be quiet! ”

The voice in the crystal was silent.

But in an instant, it was noisy again, and a voice shouted, "Old blacksmith, what kind of majesty are you old immortal playing here?" ”

"Haha, aren't you going to receive that old fellow from Falaise?"

"What, you drove him away!?"

Ander Uriel Rao was thick-skinned, and he couldn't help blushing, thinking that his old fellows were too much. The nickname 'Blacksmith' was left behind when he was a student in Kapka, because of his clumsiness in the apprenticeship, he was once called dumber than a blacksmith by the great craftsmen of the Kapka Academy at that time.

So this nickname has been passed down -

However, the so-called clumsy evaluation of being able to become an apprentice to a master craftsman is actually somewhat credible, which is really doubtful.

"It's nothing," the old man's snow-white eyebrows raised, "I asked him to reflect." ”

"Well done."

The voice in the crystal said loudly.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Ander-Uriel continued, "let me introduce you to a few children. ”

"Little friend?"

There was silence in the crystal again.

After a while, someone asked, "Why, old blacksmith, you have finally opened your mind and accepted a student?" ”

André Uriel held the crystal and was smiling without answering or rebutting. He only asked, "Why, can't you?" Old Bronze Nose, aren't you clamoring to find someone to play chess with you? Why don't you try my 'student' quality? ”

Since every voice in the crystal was a nickname, Fang Yu couldn't tell who these nicknames represented.

However, he is not stupid, and naturally understands that the person who can call each other so much with Ander Uriel is afraid that the other party's status is also not low. And these people, looking at their previous methods of manipulating flexible construction on the light network, it is obvious that they are all senior great alchemists.

However, he held the crystal, and his heart was actually slightly cloudy for a while.

He'd heard Ander Uriel say that they connected the magic engines together through a magic network, and he hadn't realized what that meant. But at this moment, he suddenly understood what the other party's words meant.

Isn't this the Internet?

There was a sneer from the crystal, and the old voice with a thick nasal voice muttered:

"Old blacksmith, are you going to find a little guy to deal with me?"

"I'm not fooled by you."

"But I also have a young man here, why don't you let them try?"

……
