Chapter 2 Stories and Decisions, Ahead and Future

"Seven years ago, my father was commissioned by the royal family of Kaulin-Ihurian to go on a formal mission to find the Second Star Bridge."

"This is the third attempt in 200 years that Kaurin-Ishurian has sent a large fleet to find the entrance to the Third World, and it is also the most well-prepared."

"So before leaving, my father took me to the place where he and my mother had met, to the altar of Ameya in El Pahin, at the edge of the forest, and he pointed to his ship and confidently told me that it would not be long before he would bring back exciting news for all."

But no one expected that the boat group would be gone for seven years. After that, I was fostered in the home of a very learned lady, from whom I learned about the family and the nobility, and grew up. ”

"As spring turned to winter, His Majesty the aged King Abid'an did not wait for my father's return, and died soon after, and in the midst of the chaos in the heart of the kingdom, a new king ascended the throne. And my father's strong supporter, Prince Coleman, also gradually moved away from the center of power during this incident—"

So people gradually forgot that somewhere in this kingdom, a little girl who was not so conspicuous had been waiting for her father's return. Or maybe it was her daily prayers that worked, and one day, news of her father's return came from the Second World......"

"But God didn't like it, and after returning this time in good condition, they left one of Elpahin's four fleets, and they brought back some mixed news."

"Some of these sailors claim that my father mysteriously disappeared with his First Squadron shortly after arriving in the Murky Realm—and that before he disappeared, he had more than once mentioned to his deputy, Sir Royle, that he had found clues about the Second Starbridge."

"After my father's disappearance, Sir Royle made several attempts to find him, to no avail, and finally had to return with the remaining three fleets. However, in the process of passing through the gate of the world, they encountered a rare black storm, and Sir Royle himself disappeared into the storm along with the Second and Third Fleets, and his whereabouts are still unknown. ”

"The survivors have brought back only the notes left by Sir Royle, which contain all the information about my father's study of the obelisk during his travels. The argument he left behind can show that the picture on the obelisk is a map leading to the Second Star Bridge, and such a map is distributed all over the world. ”

But this precious note does not speak for itself, nor does it prove the ultimate success of my father's action, but it has become the pretext for the New Party to attack Prince Coleman. The huge plan that was used seven years ago to mobilize the people has only ended up with such a result, and it is naturally impossible to convince everyone——"

"Its failure seems to be a reflection of the incompetence of the plan's leaders."

"And the leader of this plan is obviously none other than Prince Coleman, who used this as an excuse for the Prime Minister, who is now His Majesty's most trusted, to jail a large number of His Royal Highness's cronies, and even stripped them of their noble status, so that their wealth is not guaranteed. At the same time, he reinstated my father's nemesis, Sir Giade Charlemagne, in an attempt to use the notes left by my father to find out the whereabouts of the Second Bridge. ”

"In this way, to glorify his own merits."

"But there are still some flaws in this plan, and that is that although the Albert family is in a state of decay, my father still has at least a daughter like me, and many old subordinates who are loyal to him."

"So, at the behest of the Prime Minister, a troop of men set out on a journey to the castle of the lady who was in charge of me, and I should have 'disappeared' in an 'accidental' fire a year and a half ago."

"Unfortunately, however, I was secretly rescued by my father's old men, and I took the life of the poor lady, whom I heard was taken from her castle that night, and never seen her since."

Sylvid paused.

"When I was a child, my father used to jokingly tell me that I was a girl, and that there was no precedent for a female explorer in the history of Kaulin-Ishurian, otherwise I would have inherited his mantle."

"I realized that day that he was right – I was his only daughter, and no one was better qualified to prove it all on his behalf than I was. So I made up my mind that if I found the door to the Third World before the royal family of Kaurin-Ihurian, people would never forget the honor of the Alberts, nor the exploits of my father—"

"That's when I started making this plan."

After she said this, she looked at Fang Yu with bright eyes.

"My father was right that I was a girl, and I did not have an advantage among the male-dominated navigators of Kalin-Itherian. But I also knew that I had my own strengths compared to those people - I knew about my father's research on obelisks at a young age, and over the years, I never let go of studying and reading the notes that my father had left behind. ”

"So at this moment, no one in Kaulin-Ishurian knows better than me about my father's research, and this is my greatest strength."

"At the same time, my father told me something before he left," Sylvede replied, "and he was sorry that the Seven Seas Traveler had not yet been able to find the right person to start the work – and the design of the Great Ship was a legendary idea handed down by my grandfather's generation." ”

She stroked the suitcase next to the bed with her hand, and Fang Yu had actually seen the design of the ship more than once.

Sylvid continued, "The figure didn't actually come from the Rose Workshop, but they got it by chance, and the existence of the elven dragon knight has always been a mystery in people's minds. ”

"But my father told me before he left that in fact, the crystals of the fairy dragon knights exist in this world."

Fang Yu asked, "...... That's why you found me? ”

Sylvid nodded slightly.

She smiled: "It's also a surprise for me to meet the captain." ”

"Actually, I went to the Traveler's Rest just to meet a master craftsman who was presiding over the competition at the time, who was a craftsman on my father's ship, and I wanted to get help from him."

"But he also told me that the Elven Dragon Knight is unlikely to exist, and that the Seven Seas Traveler will always be just a wish."

"I'm not surprised by this answer, I've had a lot of people before him - and the masters who were originally friends with my father didn't want to work with me because of my status."

"Of course, they don't blame them, after all, they have their own families and careers – and I'm grateful that people didn't tell me about me to the royal family."

"In fact, before I met the captain, I was desperate, and I had already made up my mind to make a desperate bet. I plan to go to the second world alone, and as for whether I can succeed, I don't really know much in my heart......"

"And I didn't expect that at this time, I would meet the person I was 'destined' - the fairy knight who only existed in the possibility."

"Captain, you."

Sylvid only said softly.

Her expression was quiet and indifferent.

It was as if after countless searches, at the final moment, the gem found in the gravel, shining brightly.

And more importantly, the big boy actually gave her a promise - although at that time, she only believed that there were some promises in this world that were as thin as paper and could be broken when poked.

But at this moment, the aristocratic daughter looked at her captain, and her blue and bright eyes like a shallow sea seemed to be able to contain everything.

She continued:

"As for Mr. Kidd, it's another story, a note left by my father that shows that there is an obelisk beneath the abyss off the coast of Gura Harbor, and over the years I have found a way to get there."

"After narrowly escaping my life, I began to quietly contact some of my old henchmen who had been loyal to my father, and anonymously recruited adventurers from the Adventurers' Guild. Of course, I didn't expect that among the many self-introduction letters, there would be a reply from the Giant Tree Hill. ”

"Mr. Kidd, that's when I came into view, and not just because he was the only adventurer from Kaurin-Ishurian, or even beyond the Sea of Clouds. What's more, he mentioned in his reply that he had seen a similar obelisk when he was young. ”

"That obelisk should be in the area of the Giant Tree Hill."

"For that reason, I let him join our team......"

"You found the obelisk beneath the abyss? What happened after that, why did Kidd die in the Traveler's Swamp, and his starlight ......"

Sylvid shook her head.

"Actually, that's the second reason why I went to Traveler's Retreat, because the first collaboration went well, and I made an appointment with Mr. Kidd and the others to start a second adventure half a year later. And the destination of this adventure is actually the island of Fenris—"

"Actually, the reason why Princess Brian appeared there was also to repay my father's favor and send us to Fenris without being a human eye. However, what I didn't expect was that someone would hire Mr. Kidd and them before me and go deep into the Traveler's Swamp......"

Fang Yu opened his mouth slightly.

"So, the rumor that there is an obelisk in the depths of the Traveler's Rest Swamp didn't you put it out?"

"Naturally not?"

Sylvid shook her head again: "Princess Brianne and I have been investigating this matter for a few days, and we don't even know for sure if there really is an obelisk in the Traveler's Swamp, or what the true intentions of the spreaders of this rumor are—it was only shortly after that that we ran into you and Miss Attila. ”

Fang Yu was quiet for a long time.

Then he asked, "Why did you tell me this all of a sudden?" ”

But Sylvide only smiled lightly.

"Because the lost ship always has to return to the fleet......"

"I've done something wrong, and naturally I have to ask for this master's forgiveness, so can I get your Miss Ship Officer back to the team, Captain?"

Her voice was soft, even pleading.

There were some noisy voices in the lobby of the inn—

Fang Yu was still thinking about what Sylvid had told him a long time ago, and his mind was a little confused, even messy.

Sylvid had said more than once that one day she would tell him all the secrets she had about her. But he didn't expect that this day would come so suddenly, nor did he expect that the other party's life experience would be so tortuous and bizarre.

This may be a good thing for the team, because there are too many secrets hidden in each of them that will one day take this 'boat' in unpredictable directions.

But for him personally, this is not necessarily good news, and taking in the nobleman's daughter may mean a conflict with the Kaurin-Ihurian royal family.

At the very least, it was a conflict with the prime minister's party.

He asked himself, was this his choice? For the sake of Sylvide alone, to involve everyone else?

But Fang Yu also understood the sincerity in the other party's heart, otherwise, with the temperament of a noble daughter, how could she open her mouth like this, she really really wanted to stay in this team.

If he refuses, she may really be desperate and go down the road of no return.

And he asked himself the answer in his heart - would he like to see the other party embark on such a path of doomed tragedy? In fact, this answer has long been determined.

It's just that he still needs to ask for other people's opinions.

When the innkeeper saw him leaning against the counter, staring at the square outside the door in a daze, he couldn't help but put down the rag in his hand, picked up a cup, and asked, "Are you looking at the statue outside, young man?" ”

Fang Yu was stunned, there was indeed a statue in the square, but a pedestal had just been built, and he couldn't see what it was at all.

But the innkeeper had already smiled and put his chubby hand on his shoulder, and introduced him, "You've just been in Yunliu Harbor for a short time, haven't you?" That statue, young man, saved us all—even heroes, including you. ”

He sighed: "It's a pity that he couldn't come out in the end, otherwise we would definitely have a grand celebration party for him." ”

He put his arm around Fang Yuan's shoulders and pushed a glass of ale in front of the latter: "Come, a toast to our hero." ”

Fang Yu couldn't help blushing a little.

It's not just because he doesn't know how to drink, but because of the other party's words.

Fortunately, he had taken off his mask, and the people around him did not recognize him, he never thought that one day he would become a hero by word of mouth, he thought that he would have some self-satisfaction in response to this, but he touched his chest, his fingers felt the outline of a mask there, and his heart was heavy.

It was believed that he had disappeared under the Black Holy City.

His communicator was also broken in the process of his whereabouts at that time, and people couldn't find his original communication ID, and his Elector ID had never been filed in Xingmen Harbor, so it was more as if the world had evaporated.

But this coincidence made him think of a possibility, maybe it would be a better choice to let his identity - the hero in people's minds sleep there forever.

It's not that he doesn't care about honor.

It was because of Miya's words that he was given a wake-up call.

His identity was now on the cusp, and as the 'only' person who had seen the obelisk beneath the Black Holy City, and as one of the owners of the Helin Crown, it was naturally impossible for the Fleur Descendants to let him go.

And if he chooses not to cooperate with the latter, retaliation will ensue.

And in the course of this incident on Fenris Island, Fang Plover has actually realized one of his biggest problems.

That's the level is too low-

Although the outcome of this incident was quite satisfactory, it was also thanks to the fact that this mission was in the underground of the Black Holy City, and it was the powerful Lost Lock Enchantment of the Sinsas Snake People that limited the strength of all parties.

It may seem to the world that his performance is close to perfection, after all, what can a fifteenth-level (as others think) Elector ask for? But the problem is that Fang Yu understands that his opponent will not wait for him forever, nor will he always be consistent with his rank.

In fact, if the Jeffrey Redcoats, Blood Oath, and Night Lizards were able to field a stronger opponent at one time, it would be not level 15, but level 18, or level 19, or even level 20......

The result would have been completely different.

Electors above level 20 are naturally not the same as monsters above level 20. For example, on their way to Elpahim, they had killed a Boss-level Rock Shark that was much higher than them.

But if that rock shark were to be replaced by a twenty-something-level Elector, as long as it was slightly better equipped, it would be enough to make them lose their troops. As for leaving the other party, don't even think about it.

And the ancient hunter he killed underground by some means, if it were Miss Scarpe, or Mr. Quelod, who was similar in rank, he might be able to hang ten of him and beat him up.

And some elite players with higher ranks, such as Qin Zhi who met the Dawn Star at that time, under the right circumstances, one person can make it difficult for everyone, including Scarpe and Leader Quelode, to move an inch.

Not to mention that during the Fenris Island incident, there was also a legendary dragon Torragotos who never ended up in person.

In the final analysis, in Aitalia, hard power is the first decisive factor, and a special environment like the Black Holy City is a rare situation after all. And as his level increases, the team's hard power grows, and in the face of the revenge of the Flor descendants, he naturally has to be much calmer.

So after thinking about it, he realized that his disappearance this time might be 'just right', maybe Char's identity disappeared temporarily, and the people of Flo's descendants stopped paying attention to him for the first time.

It is more in the team's immediate interest to let them waste their energy on finding the 'missing' Char.

And they can just take this opportunity to make a fortune in a muffled voice, and really improve their strength.

After all, knowledge and experience are the hard currency of Aitalia.

And for the same reason, contacts with the military seem to be slowing down.

After all, that also means going from the back of the stage to the front of the stage, even if he can change his identity, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be guessed some clues, after all, there may also be the eyeliner of the descendants of Flor on the side of Xingmen Port.

Thinking of this, he raised his head.

In the direction of the port, a red sun is sinking below the sea level, and the sky is like a burning cloud, as if dyed with a layer of bronze brilliance on the cloud island.

The disaster more than half a month ago is no longer visible on this calm sea of air, and the terrible side of the sea of clouds has long since returned to calm.

In the ballad of the sailor, this 'goddess' who embraces the sky is sometimes gentle and sometimes violent.

But the scars left on the earth at that time have not faded away—the gulls of the open sea have leaned slightly in the great earthquake, and the crack in the square that runs across the gate supported by wooden pillars has only been partially filled.

Above the chasm was the base of the statue.

Although Fang Yu didn't know how to drink, he still picked up the wine glass and took a sip when he looked at his statue.

After drinking, he wiped the foam from the corner of his mouth, raised his glass, and gestured to the other party.

The chubby boss laughed and patted him on the shoulder, thinking that Fang Yu was one of the many frustrated people who had lost everything in this disaster, so as to show his comfort.

But as everyone knows, when Fang Yu put down the wine glass, he had already made the final decision in his heart.

The hotel is still bustling with activity.

Under the lights, Fang Ou saw several familiar faces—a forest elf lady full of wild energy, wearing a tight-fitting leather armor, and the wheat-colored skin on her neck and shoulders was exposed.

A tall lion man, dressed in ornate armor, holding a pipe, carrying a large sword and a heavy shield, and a scepter at his waist, looking absent-minded.

Then a tall boy beckoned to him with two little girls behind him, and one of them, too, waved to him excitedly:

"Brother Ed, we're here!"

Fang Yu smiled slightly, it was sky blue.

Yes, his companions arrived.
