Prologue: Growth

It took Fang Yu a moment to figure out that the place where he was was already in Yunliu Harbor, in an inn called 'Gull of the Dew Sea'.

He leaned back on the wooden bed, quietly staring at the small room on the second floor of the inn, some quiet afternoon, the air wafted with the faint fragrance of luxury honey flowers, the bright sun through the clean glass window, reflected on the wooden floor, the dust undulating, the light through the green window lattice, the jar in the cupboard, a trench coat on the shelf—not far away, there was a vase on the desk, and a Fenris chrysanthemum was inserted diagonally, and the card below was written in Juan Elven script with the innkeeper's message.

That's the flower language of Fenris chrysanthemum, dreams and travel.

He turned his head before he spoke, "Bai Hua, is it your brother?" ”

Miya stood beside the bed and nodded: "Half-brother," she carried the sun on her back, wore a white skirt robe, and wore cold silver chain armor on the outside, and her shawl was like hanging leaves, and her temperament was a little pure: "You can call him Xiaobai, I call him that on weekdays." ”

Fang Yu had a sudden feeling in his heart, he didn't care what to call it, but he had a special feeling from the first time he saw Bai Hua, because the feeling of this pair of sisters and brothers was so similar.

"Bai Hua was still in the Traveler's Rest a month ago, and your brother wasn't actually a member of the Rainlistener before, right?"

Miya nodded, not intending to hide this: "Xiaobai joined the rain listener for the purpose of the obelisk. ”

"Then he saved me because ......?"

"He's not that proactive, I told him to do it."

Fang Yu looked at Miya in surprise.

There was an atmosphere of silence between the two, a strange silence that came from a misunderstanding of the past, and he remembered the situation day after day, but now he wondered whether he should pretend to be mature and refuse the other's help. Or should we ask what happened then?

Outside the window, in the square of Yunliugang, in the direction of the Mirela Temple, people are building a new statue on the ruins of a tower city.

The statue was only a rudimentary form, and the sound of tinkling knocks could be heard from far outside.

Fang Yu was in a trance for a while.

But unexpectedly, it was the girl who broke the silence first.

"I've been looking for you since I left the Gorgong Ruins."

"I learned your whereabouts from Xiaobai," Mia looked at him quietly, with an arc of silver light reflected in the depths of her eyes, "I still had some business to attend to in Tarun at that time, but I finally got here three days ago. ”

"At that time, I asked you to wait for me at the resurrection point of the Hidden Spring, but I waited there for days, and I didn't wait for you—"

Fang Yu opened his mouth, but the words were swallowed back into his stomach.

He remembered that in the endless darkness, Mia had finally spoken to himself, but he could not hear it clearly.

"So, Miss Miya is going to use me again?"

There are thousands of words in his heart, but what Fang Yu said is such a sentence.

It's just a prickly word, but in the end it hurts yourself-

Miya's quiet gaze fell on his heart, making his heart jump slightly, like the cold sharp blade of that day, piercing straight from there—and what was even more painful was the betrayal of the heart. "Does the wound still hurt?" The girl's voice was soft, as if her sister was comforting her brother.

Fang Yu held his breath slightly, and his mood was indescribable for a while.

"Let me tell you a story." Miya replied.

Fang Yu looked at the girl.

For some reason, his heart suddenly quieted down.

And that story begins like this......

After the Stargate Age, the first and second generations of forerunners paved the way for those who came after them, and the appearance of glow devices made it possible for the emergence of civilian electors.

After the capital poured into the Star Gate, the Super Athletic League showed its prototype for the first time in that era, but the Chinese Division at that time was far from the foundation of the existence of the ten famous guilds today, and people did not know any silver Vislan.

In that long ago, the three major guilds in the Chinese division were recognized in people's hearts - Vici gaming, Elf and Moonlight, except that the former was similar to the twelve-colored iris from the e-sports club of ancient times, and the latter two were the famous free callers guilds at that time.

Later, it is known as that period of history - the European Union, the Americas, the South Indo-Pacific and the CIS competition areas were established one after another, in order to enhance the competitiveness of the domestic competition area, under the advice of the government, with Vg, Elf and Moonlight as the main body, with a series of guild clubs with the participation of capital to reorganize into a new guild alliance.

That's what came to be known as the name.

. M Alliance.

. The M League and the big and small clubs behind it formed the foundation of the Chinese Super Athletic League at that time, which was the first prosperous period of the Chinese division in the long era. The M League topped the world and created a decade-long Chinese dynasty.

Of course, that was long before Fang Yu was born—and just like all dynasties prosper and fall. The M Alliance has also gone through such a process of prosperity to decline. Due to the disagreement between the investor and the senior management philosophy of the association, in a conflict, . M, and then exposed the scandal of player salaries and deduction of bonuses.

At this point, it was about ten years before the Battle of Byrne. M has experienced this turning point from prosperity to decline,. The M-League is on the wane, and the domestic competition is ushering in its first ice age.

But blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. The disintegration of M naturally led to the emergence of a series of new guilds such as the Rose Crusader and the God Slayer, and the prototype of the Ten Guilds laid the foundation in that era.

Later, the Crusaders split, and the Silver Vislan emerged, leading the China Division through the second period of prosperity - this was the era of the Silver Veslan dynasty.

Miya talked eloquently, talking about a well-known history, but in the mouth of the wolf-eared girl, there was a different meaning, as if a time like water became vivid under her mouth.

A river of history that also flows to this day.

The afternoon sun walked in the hut, reflecting on the girl's side face, like congealed fat, revealing a shallow light. But Mia seemed unaware and only continued: "Shortly after the Battle of Byrne, . . M officially dissolved, and then reorganized into three guilds again, Ragnarok, Moon Dust and the Chosen One, and it was from this time that the bane of the separation of the two factions in the domestic division was laid——"

Fang Yu could understand this quiet narration.

. The Rose Crusaders and Godslayers established by the M Exodora.

. How can the three former alliances of Ragnarok, Moondust and the Chosen One, formed after the dissolution of the M Alliance, have been sharply opposed from the beginning, and how can they coexist peacefully?

This is actually the origin of the history of the Rainbow Alliance (Rose Crusaders, Godkillers) and the Descendants of Flor (the former Alliance), the vengeful giant of the Kaurin-Ishurian mythology, after which the former Alliance is named. The intention of the supremacy of the M Alliance is clear at a glance.

But what no one expected was-

Over the next decade, the crown would be won by one of the Rose Crusaders, Silver Veslan, the brother of a fellow Rose Crusader who naturally followed the former's philosophy.

At this point, the Rainbow Alliance took the lead in this battle.

In the following decade, due to the dominance of the Silver Veslan family, the elegance was unique for a while.

In such a reality, the descendants of Flor also had to adopt a conservative strategy, but the struggle between the two did not actually break through a bottom line - this is also the need for competition within the domestic division, and all parties acquiesced to this fact.

At this point, Mia turned around: "Have you heard of the Covenant Hill incident?" ”

Fang Yu's heart jumped and he nodded.

"Since a few years ago, Silver Vislan has gradually fallen from the altar," Miya said, "and the struggle between the Descendants of Flor has become fierce, and it is against this background that the Covenant Mountain incident has arisen. ”

Fang Yu paused for a moment.

As an onlooker, he didn't know much about the inside story at the time, and although there were different opinions, there was no definite conclusion. And Miya's words were so conclusive that he sounded like a trance-like unreality.

But when you think about it, it seems to be logical.

"At that time, the guild behind the banner did not actually belong to the Rainbow Alliance, but in the process of the struggle between the two sides, these people were used as victims to eliminate the threat," Miya said. ”

Speaking of this, Miya's expression did not change, and Fang Yu frowned.

He had heard about this history.

This was followed by a massive movement against the Wealthy Guild and led to a second boom in the country's free electors, and Loofah emerged at this time and became a lone wolf legend.

Since then, small and large groups of individuals and teams have sprung up, and one of them is a precedent for the birth of the Second World, the first free guild that did not originate in Aitalia, but directly in the Second World, the Order of Covenant Mountain.

In fact, the name of this guild is itself a silent protest.

It was from this incident that the Super Athletic League lost its foundation of justice because of this injustice, and a split between the upper and lower levels was born, and the antagonistic sentiment spread to a wider area, and the guild also lost the popular support.

Miya said softly: "To this day, the frequent defeats in the domestic competition in foreign confrontations have long had their roots——"

"The loss of the competition for resources has gradually attracted the attention of the above, and the involvement of the military is actually a precursor, and the Super Athletic League naturally understands this, so in order to save the situation, they have to start a big plan set in the early years in advance."

"Big plans?" Fang Yu was stunned.

"Looking for the second starbridge—"

Fang Yu opened his mouth wide - he had a sudden feeling in his heart, so it was, Star Bridge is also another name for the Continental Bridge. The history of the M Alliance's first to open up the Second World for the Elect is well known, and the foundation of the Ten Years Dynasty was laid.

The New World is full of opportunities, and the first regions and guilds to go to the New World will naturally reap unimaginable benefits.

"The search for the Second Star Bridge has been going on for a long time, and the aborigines have been moving much earlier than us," Miya's voice was soft, like a distant wind, wind chimes that came out of the eaves, "but the Electors are more disciplined and more actionable, and we have inherited a long history of information from them, and we have gone one step further in this-"

"Countries have already had plans and preparations for the Third World, and they are very thorough, and in the last ten years, the time has come to gradually mature," she continued, "Some people have already deduced from the long scroll of the abyssal sea that the key to the Third World is actually the holy relics left behind by the Numerin Elve. ”

She looked at Fang Ou.

Fang Yu was completely stunned.

It turned out that this was the origin of the Battle of Changxia.

And the Star of Dawn also perished because of this-

His hand was clenched into a fist under the sheet, and he couldn't speak for a while, because everyone was just a pawn in this huge whirlpool, and he couldn't control his fate. What a tragedy it is for them to be worthless on the chessboard and not yet know why they died.

And those who are in charge of all this are just indifferent gamblers, watching coldly the increase or decrease of chips on the table, not caring if all the efforts of one person behind them are reduced to ashes.

Maybe they're too weak, and that's why they're pawns.

Miya stood quietly on the back of the sun, watching the changing expression on Fang Yuan's face.

He may try to pretend to be mature, but he is still a teenager's naïve in his bones, but at the end of the day, they are actually the same kind of people, so she can't say anything about each other. She thought for a moment before she quietly spoke:

"The Battle of Changxia is a continuation of a conflict in the Second World, before the start of the Long Summer War, the conquest of the former alliance and the Rainbow Alliance in the Second World was already in full swing, do you know what happened a year ago?"

Fang Yu paused for a moment and shook his head, he should have been in Xingmen Harbor at that time, and he didn't know much about the outside news for half a year.

"During an offensive last year, in order to break the deadlock and open a second front, the Descendants of Flor issued an ultimatum to a small guild in the Turbulent Hills, asking them to merge into the Descendants of Flor before the war began, and to make way for the flanking attack—"

"But that little guild categorically rejected the unreasonable demands of the former alliance."

"However, the descendants of Flor don't care if a small guild agrees to their request, because if the other party does not agree, it also has a way to make the other party comply."

"Such events are not uncommon in history, but this time, the subsequent development is beyond everyone's imagination."

"Because the name of that little guild is called Covenant Mountain—"

"At the moment when the Descendants of Flor declared war, countless Free Electors and Adventure Groups joined Covenant Mountain as volunteers, and even some neutral guilds chose to side with justice, calling this battle the Battle of Covenant Mountain."

"Naturally, my guild and I, the BBK Alliance, have joined the battle."

Fang Yu looked at Miya in a daze.

It turns out that she is really the witch of the sea.

But why did she appear in the First World as a citizen of Rotao?

Mia continued, "As members of the Neutral Guild, we are on the side of Mount Covenant, and all of us have won a miraculous victory in this battle - making it difficult for the army of the Descendants of Flor to advance for three months, and with the truce stipulated by the Super Athletic Federation imminent, victory seems to be ......on the horizon."

"But it was at this time that my guild, BBK, suddenly turned back and announced that he had joined the descendants of Flore—"

"In this way, we who stayed on Covenant Hill have become awkward beings."

"Those who used to fight alongside us are now our enemies."

"Fortunately, for the sake of comradeship, the people of Covenant Mountain did not embarrass us, but intended to send us out of the country as a gift—in fact, sometimes the Free Electors have such a bearing, and they are often more heroic than those of the Great Guilds."

"But heroes, most of them are tragic."

At this point, Mia was rarely silent for a moment.

"No one expected that someone in our squad would betray us, and they would secretly destroy the heart of the city of Mount Covenant, causing the defensive barrier to fail."

"By the time the people of Mount Covenant realized this, it was too late, and it was the effort of countless people for three months to break the covenant here."

"At this moment, the explanation has pale and weak, and all that awaits us is a battle to the death."

"My teammates have fallen one by one, and the Resurrection Temple near Mount Covenant is under the control of the other party, and I know that the resurrection is meaningless," Mia's silver eyes still seemed to reflect the brilliance of the time, "It seems natural to die to apologize for their sins—but it's just that I want to find those who have betrayed us, and ask them why the guild made this decision?" ”

"So at that moment, at the cost of losing my identity as a dragon knight, I chose to be reborn in Aitaria and reconstruct my role."

Miya looked at Fang Plover quietly.

And Fang Yu was still immersed in the shock of this description-

"So with what you see now," she flicked her silver pointed ears slightly, "this image of mine is in memory of one of my companions on Mount Covenant, and I have heard that after that, they have failed. ”

Her tone was quiet.

But it is a sad truth.

"I infiltrated the Jeffrey Redcoats by virtue of my familiarity with the BBK Alliance, of course, they were already a member of the Flor Descendants at that time, and they were no longer the guild I was familiar with," Mia replied, "The rest of the story, as you know, I know that the Gordon ruins lurk the secret of the Celestial Crown, which the Flor Descendants got from Mount Covenant, and should not have belonged to them—"

"The Star Dagger......"

Fang Yu was silent for a while, and finally couldn't help but speak.

"That's the only thing I've brought back from the Second World, it's a special Dragon Soul Crystal, supposedly using an ancient technique capable of resonating with the Crown of Hailin."

"It's not my Dragon Soul Crystal, and no one has ever been able to activate it, but it at least has the same power as the Dragon Soul Crystal, which is to allow the holder to be resurrected once."

"I'm giving it to you, in the hope that you'll lure the guardian down there, and give me time to shut down the center that controls it—"

Miya looked at him, the sun streaming over her shoulders, the Tyndall phenomenon forming in the air, drifting between the dust.

"So, this is an apology I owe you."

"And I didn't expect it to be a dead dead zone......"

Fang Yu was silent for a moment.

He actually understood that the matter of the Dawn Star had nothing to do with Miya, the order was given by the Jeffrey Redcoats, and everything behind the scenes was also dominated by the descendants of Flor. The enemies he brought in with the star dagger at that time also saved their lives in a sense.

Otherwise, they would have died at the hands of Qin Zhi and the others long before that.

She's also just a temporary inluder.

Assuming she didn't know everything beforehand, then she couldn't have deceived the Dawn Star. And the only thing she concealed might be for him—whether it was good or malice, but it was all wrong—

Fang Yu didn't know what to do for a while.

There is actually a big misunderstanding here.

He didn't rely on the Star Dagger to resurrect, and if it weren't for that, he probably wouldn't have been able to wait for today's story.

When he came back to his senses, he was stunned to find that Miya leaned down slightly and gently pressed a hand on his chest - the original wound had been healed this morning, but the scar in his heart had penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

The wolf girl seemed to be feeling something, and frowned slightly.

It must have hurt there.

So much so that the rift left behind can no longer be bridged-

Fang Yu was silent for a moment before asking, "After that, did you find those traitors?" ”

Mia didn't answer, straightened up, and handed him a teleportation crystal.

The crystal recorded a message around January:

'Large-scale personnel changes at the top of the BBK Alliance, suspected of personnel leaving-'

Then there was another message from the same month:

'BBK Alliance Announces Joining Fleur's Descent-'

Scroll down further, and it is a piece of news this month:

'The Witch of the Sea appears in Talen—'

After a moment of silence.

"I found some people in Talen, and although I didn't do all the work, I also learned something," Miya said, "I found you to tell you something......

"I'm already planning to go to the second world with Xiaobai."

She paused before she asked softly, "Ed, would you like to join me?" ”

Fang Yu raised his head, but he was stunned.

If only before the Dawn Star, the wolf maiden had invited him like this.

He may be willing in his heart, and he will definitely agree even if he doesn't even think about it.

But now, he has a responsibility in his heart, in this world, there are promises he made, and it is not his personality to leave the promise and leave. Perhaps, for the misunderstanding of the past, he has gradually let go of his heart, but at this moment-

Fang Yu shook his head slightly.

Because he is no longer the big boy who has no worries in the past, and has gradually grown into a trustworthy captain in the eyes of everyone.

He's going to the Second World, but not right now.

Fang Yu raised his head because he heard a soft knock on the door, the regular and rhythmic knocking on the door, which only made his mind tremble for a while. "Excuse me, can I come in?"

Outside the door, Sylvid's polite inquiry was coming.

……
