The ship was rising steadily, as if walking between the clouds, the clouds below were thousands of kilometers wide, and under the clouds there was a mirror, showing a smooth dark blue.

Overhead, the sky constantly changes hues, from deep to light blue, and between the sea of clouds above and below swims a magnificent aurora, like a giant snake, winding across.

It was nothing more than a vision caused by the aetheric wind passing through the elemental layer—

The sailor was climbing the rope ladder on the side support rope and looked at the colorful light, and said to Xia Yue with some excitement: "Sir, we should soon ascend to the shallow level. ”

Xia Yue had not yet recovered from the previous thrilling situation, and the scene of the stormy waves under the Elemental Sea made his stomach still sour and dizzy at the moment.

The swaying of the ship's hull became steady, and he forced himself to stop the nausea in his heart and asked, "What does that mean?" ”

"That means we're about to leave the elemental layer," the sailor's eyes flashed with an incredible light, "We must have passed through the Marsal Passage, which is said to be the most treacherous of the three passages to the Abyssal Sea. I've heard about it as a child, but I didn't expect anyone to take us through it without any danger. ”

"Danger or not?"

Xia Yue's stomach churned, and he remembered the scene of the fleet passing by the edge of the turbulent belt that was several kilometers wide, and the waves of clouds that were like mountains and seas pressed down on them, making him almost think that they were about to finish.

He clung to something the whole time so that he would not be thrown out, but the windboat under his feet was in constant danger of capsizing. The fragile man-made object seemed to be completely submerged under the sea of clouds in the next moment, but it often passed through the clouds in a violent jolt and reappeared above the empty sea.

In the face of the mighty power of nature, mortal creations have no strength to resist, as if to give birth to the feeling that they are nothing more than dust.

The thrill between them could not be understood by outsiders, and although he let go of his big words, he finally had to retreat below the deck to avoid danger. He also whispered a prayer to the Lord of the Storm, the god of calamity and sea monsters.

Although no one told him that the only icon on the ship was that of Lady Milera in the resurrection room, he did not know if the Goddess of Life had the leisure to help him speak.

But in any case, it's not a thrill, is it?

After listening to Xia Yue's description, the sailor couldn't help but laugh, "Life hangs by a thread? Haha, you're really kidding, sir, it's just a small wave. I once encountered a storm off the coast of Fenris, and that was a real challenge, but it was nothing compared to a storm above the ocean. I've heard that in the midst of such storms, you can even roll up clouds that are tens of meters high, throw the boat into the air, and then fall back to the surface...... Even a truly seasoned captain may not be able to escape in the face of such a storm. ”

Xia Yue's face turned a little blue when she heard this, and she couldn't imagine how they should protect themselves in that situation, and she could probably only pray for the blessings of the saints. It is no wonder that the sailors are the group that most believe in the saints of Orin, because walking on the empty sea may be putting their fate in the hands of the gods.

"But the danger of the passage of Marsal is not much worse than that of sailing in those places, and I don't know how many wind-boats have disappeared in this passage in the last ten years," said the sailor with some admiration, "but it is not impossible for no one to escape from this passage, from here ten years ago the legendary captain went to the bottom of the abyss, and on that occasion when everyone thought he had been shipwrecked, he appeared in good condition before everyone. ”

"Now it is only the cycle of history, and we have once again crossed this course under the guidance of his daughter, and it is rumored that there are people who can tame the dangerous sea, and those who control the unpredictable changes of the sky and the sea—the gentleman is, and his daughter is the same. They may know the waters so well that they can lead us to avoid every danger without danger. ”

"But was she on her father's ship ten years ago, when she was not yet ten years old, how could she be familiar with the seas?" Xia Yue asked curiously.

"It is rumored that she had travelled extensively with the legendary captain since she was a child, and had learned quite a bit on board, and the people on Sir Marvier's ship called her 'Miss Miss' or 'Little Captain'. Of course, it is also rumored that she grew up in a manor somewhere in Evan Quinn, and has been passed on by the elves, and she seems to have a good relationship with the heroic princess of the Battle of Byrne. ”

The sailor replied, "But I'd rather believe the former, otherwise I can't explain everything today." Some were born commanders, like this young lady, who was once said to be the successor of her father's mantle, but now it seems so. It won't be long before there will be another great explorer in Kaurin-Ishurian. ”

"It's a pity," the other party sighed, "if Sir Ma Wei were still here, we would have two living legends." ”

"This legendary young lady is wanted by your king." Xia Yue thought to herself.

Of course, he didn't say such annoying words to his face, but when he thought of the actions of the descendants of Flor, he felt a little uncomfortable, and even his perception of the prime minister's party became bad.

The Super Athletic Alliance is in collusion with the Crow's Claw Temple, and God knows how much the Prime Minister's party knows about it, is it also involved?

Xia Yue's heart became untrustworthy to these people. He couldn't help but wonder how the descendants of Flor weren't so lucky, if they could meet this young lady too, maybe they would be the ones who were in charge of the situation in the north right now.

However, he also understood that this was just wishful thinking on his own, and it was impossible for the descendants of Flor to let the prime minister not cooperate and support the daughter of a political prisoner.

But he was puzzled by how the little-known adventuring party that had been employed by the Jeffrey Redcoats, and the penniless newcomer who had come out of it, had come into contact with the legendary captain's daughter.

Where did he get the approval of the three goddesses?

Rumor has it that the royal family of Estania also seems to be secretly supporting them.

In just one year, what has the other party experienced, and what happened to him seems to be difficult for ordinary people to even do one item in office, but how can it all be concentrated on one person?

Xia Yue was really a little difficult to understand such a thing for a while.

"Land ridge!" The sailor suddenly let out a low shout, interrupting his train of thought.

Xia Yue raised her head and looked at the ridges that were sticking down from the clouds, like the reflection of the undulating mountains, and a faint silhouette was emerging in the sky.

It was the underground edge of the Floating Continent - the Inverted Hanging Mountain.

He looked left and right, and saw other wind-boats protruding from the clouds, and the fleet was leaving the elemental layer—the other party was not exaggerating at all, and really led them out of trouble.

But Xia Yue looked at the light blue changing outline of the continent, but the feeling in her heart was a little indescribable.

He couldn't help but think of what he had seen in the port of Gula again, the burning harbor and the city guards engulfed by the purple tide.

Even if someone could stop this, it wouldn't matter to them.

The descendants of Flor are already destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

He didn't dare to imagine what it would be like for the entire North to become such a scene, and the loss of countless human lives could really be borne by the descendants of Flor.

What exactly do they bring to the world?

Kasumi never imagined that she would one day become an executioner, or at least an accomplice. Isn't he participating in the death of the people and the shattered families behind them?

The target they captured was trying their best to save it all, and they stood on top of the label of villains in front of everyone.

Still complacent-

Xia Yue couldn't help but think a little bitterly, how did all this happen, they were just trying to save the glory of the third division.

But can they really treat those who have disappeared as cold numbers, and can they really attribute the damage they have brought to the fact that this is an unreal world?

But it's all so real.

So much so that they can't find a proper and reasonable excuse for everything they have done.

When he saw all this happening, when he saw with his own eyes the supporters of the Fleur Descendants were shaking and disintegrating, it was like a silent barrage in the live broadcast room - everyone asked their conscience, but there was no escape.

The pictures with the meaning of demonstration are now displayed in a bloody manner, good and bad, right and wrong. Right and wrong and black and white have returned to their original definition in full view.

So some lies naturally collapsed.

Just like the shattering sound that Xia Yue heard in his heart at this moment, he sighed deeply, some things could not be changed, he didn't even know whether what he was doing was right or wrong.

But the only hope is that at least some can be redeemed, more or less, even a little, for the sake of the descendants of Flor, and for all the sins of their faith.

Maybe the other party can really succeed, at least partially, even if it is not the best result, but he is also willing to give everything and do his best.

If that was going to be his last battle in this world, then he would at least like to give himself an account, and an account for everything that had happened in Gula Harbor.

Xia Yue looked at the edge of the continent that was gradually becoming real, and pressed her hand tightly on the side of the ship, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

……

"I'm in the shallow depths of the elemental layer."

Sylvade looked at the reading of the concentration of the wind element in the meter, her beautiful eyes lit up slightly, she turned around, and said to the square plover beside her.

Fang Yu was concentrating all his attention on a map of the northern realm, the lights hanging on the horizon were swaying with the hull of the ship, and the lights passed through the grid and cast a staggered shadow on the map.

Only then did he raise his head and ask softly, "How are the other ships?" ”

Miss Ship Officer nodded, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, Miss Tata has contacted all ships before, and only three ships have been left behind, and two other ships have lost contact. ”

Fang Yuan's eyes showed a look of surprise, he was clear about the risks below the elemental layer, for this improvised fleet, this loss could almost be regarded as no loss.

In fact, before entering the cloud channel, everyone expected this in their hearts, and those experienced old captains were even more like Spiegel, it was impossible to pass through the cloud channel without loss, and their psychological bottom line was actually about 20%.

Anyone in this could be a decimal point in the twenty percent, but staying in Gula would end up with certain death, so everyone had to accept the gamble.

But the current result was clearly beyond everyone's best expectations, and after mutual notification, there was also a cacophony of voices in the communication crystal.

It was almost all the lines of congratulations and thanks from the leaders of each guild, the leader of the adventure group, and the captains of each ship. There was no lack of respect for Sylvid in his words—and of course, even the other party's plover.

Above Kukai, those who can tame the sea can naturally gain the respect of others.

As for the fleet commanders who can lead the fleet through the storm and overcome obstacles, they are the natural leaders in people's minds.

No one knows how far such a person will eventually grow, maybe one day the other party will be the next legendary leader, the owner of the big ship, the great explorer, maybe their own ship may also cooperate with the other party in the future, so everyone is willing to show favor to such a person.

Not to mention, Sylvid was the daughter of the legendary captain, and the fleet led by the other party was once the strength of the entire Kaurin-Ihurian. As for how his daughter will grow up in the future, maybe you can find out a thing or two from the other party.

With the standard of reference, even if the ship's master lady is far from showing her father's excellent ability, the presidents and captains present are willing to give face to this future possibility.

What's more, the other party did escape from the predicament with them.

However, everyone was actually more curious about Tata, Fang Yuan's Miss Dragon Soul, the little girl who gave them orders in a tone as if it were plain water in the midst of the stormy seas.

The fact that Tarzan has collapsed without changing is just a description, and even the most seasoned captains will inevitably feel nervous when faced with the treacherous environment beneath the elemental layer, and they may be able to maintain their composure, but they will never act as if they are drinking afternoon tea in their own home.

But Miss Tata had apparently behaved like this, and they wondered how the other could have been so calm, as if the stormy waves were just a small splash, and she had become accustomed to it.

Moreover, the other party's theoretical knowledge is quite solid, and she knows the sailboat well, and sometimes her instructions are more concise and precise than those of the most seasoned captains.

Although it was only a command from the air, it was as if they were really on their ship, watching the sailors in person.

This was not a surprise to everyone, but a shock.

But Fang Yu was not very easy to explain to these people, it was actually his Miss Dragon Soul, and his own Miss Dragon Soul had always been like this, not to mention the storm in the air and sea, even facing a dark god could not make her tone fluctuate for half a minute.

What's more, the fairy dragon soul was originally born for the windboat, and after Miss Tata practiced it on the Seven Seas Traveler, even Mr. Baggins bowed down in front of her.

Think about it, how can people compare to computers, Miss Tata is like a supercomputer born specifically to control a sailboat.

However, Fang Yuan's vague words only aggravated the doubts of the others, and they even wondered for a while, if Sir Ma Wei had more than one daughter?

In everyone's congratulations to Fang Yuan, there was a little envy in their tones, how could this little guy be able to get the favor of Sir Ma Wei's two daughters at the same time?

So they looked at Fang Yuan, and it seemed that it was not limited to the leader of an adventuring group, but could be the future leader of the boat group, or even the next Ma Wei Albert. He had at his disposal the daughter of the legendary captain of the future Cowlin-Ishurian, and the other daughter, the commander of one of the finest squadrons.

So much so that the presidents of the guilds became a little subtle in their congratulations to him.

However, Fang Yu himself didn't realize this, he was in a hurry—escaping from Gula was just the beginning of a plan, and there were still things to do.

The clockwork goblins that had been thrown out had been eroded by the wind elemental so high that he had no choice but to take them back, which had been collected from all the alchemists in the fleet, and he wanted to send another batch and had no stock.

Fortunately, after entering the shallow layer of the elemental layer, there is no need for this thing, and the communication between the flags and the fleet can be restored between the ships.

The other thing is to quickly determine their location, and how far away they are from Elpahim, escaping from Gula does not mean safety, at this moment the Ravental Sanctuary has opened a passage between the two worlds, and they could crash into the Shadowmen's fleet in the sky above the North at any time.

And then there's getting in touch with the Seven Seas Traveler—

However, the last one can only be achieved after they leave the elemental layer, which naturally interferes with the means of communication with the outside world.

If it is said that at the beginning, this fleet was still dominated by Silver Vislan, but now, relying on the identity and performance of Miss Shipmaster, Fang Yuan's words have become quite weighty.

Of course, in general, he is not a fleet commander, and he can say a lot. However, at the suggestion of Hikarye, they formed a temporary discussion group, and brought in the captains and guild leaders of each ship, so that everyone could discuss the assignment of the next tasks.

Fang Yu remembered that he happened to have such a communication channel in his hand, so he simply pulled the others in, and there were a lot of gray names in the communication channel, which was the person he pulled in the underground of the heart of the giant tree last time, but because of the distance, it was impossible to contact him at the moment.

Entering the communication channel, everyone didn't talk much nonsense, just listened to Fang Yu assign tasks one by one, and then each took the order.

Half of Fang Ou's arrangement came from Sylvid, and because of his previous experience, most of the people were convinced by this young lady, so they didn't have too many objections.

What's more, these arrangements are also substantial, and the tasks are often specific to the transaction, and they only need to be carried out. In normal times, they may still account for the gains and losses, but in the current situation, they obviously don't have the heart to argue about this.

In the end, even Hikari was a little surprised, and couldn't help but ask in the communication channel: "Mr. Ed, it seems that you are quite talented in leading the team, do you want to consider coming to our Silver Vislan, and we will give you a place in the brigade." ”

Before he could finish speaking, a deep woman's voice came from the other side: "Mr. Eddard, don't listen to this guy's nonsense, how can he be a branch president who has the qualifications to promise." Besides, the competition within Silver Vislan is fierce, and the qualifications of the brigade are nothing at all, how many talents and resources can you get? But we're different, we can really nurture your team as the core. ”

"Skylark," Guangran gritted his teeth, "Aren't you also the branch president, and don't forget what good things you did during the Dawn Star incident, Qin Zhi doesn't need me to talk about it......"

"Light dye, you-"

Fang Yu listened to the two arguing in the channel, and couldn't help but have one head and two big, he didn't come to listen to these people robbing people. He didn't hesitate to refuse even that eccentric woman from Elite, how could he easily change his mind.

He hurriedly persuaded: "Two, don't quarrel anymore, I think it's better to solve the current crisis first and discuss other things." ”

"The most important thing for us right now is to determine the location, if you want to help...... Let's take a look around first. The other guilds and teams are not at your level, and your fleet should be the first to reach the sea of clouds. ”

"Of course," replied the deep female voice, "Mr. Ed, you will leave this matter to us." ”

Fang Yu responded with a little headache.

He raised his head and looked at the ship's attendant beside him, but when he saw the other party looking at him, he smiled slightly, but there was a tired look in his eyes. Fang Yu couldn't help but ask with some heartache, "Do you and Miss Tata want to take a break?" ”

In fact, Miss Dragon Soul is okay, as long as he can still bear it, Miss Tata can maintain this state forever. But traversing the passage beneath the elemental layer is no easy task, especially with an entire fleet, even if Sylvid had been here once and his father had left her notes, it was still a draining task to command with full attention and no accidents.

Sylvide smiled lightly and shook her head: "It's nothing, I'll be here with you for a while, and by the captain's side, I can relax." ”

Fang Yuan's face turned red when he heard this, and he couldn't help but scratch his head.
