With the support of a knight, Afifa appeared in everyone's field of vision, and the girl followed by Deran. The alchemist was dressed in black chain mail, carved leather gloves pressed against the sword at his waist, and his boots were stained with a few bloodstains, but who was not dressed in military uniform at this time.

All eyes were on the two men, some of whom knew Afifah, but most of whom did not. Only a few old ministers who still remembered the time of the first princess couldn't help but show surprise in their eyes when they saw Delan.

"Captain Ed?" Afifa's face was as pale as ice on a lake in winter, so weak that a gust of wind could blow it down, and his supple eyes were looking at Fang Yuan's right arm in surprise: "Your hand ......"

"It's just a small thing." With the help of Ai Xiaoxiao and Sylvid, Fang Yu sat up from the stretcher and looked at the weak girl. "Affa, it looks like Mr. Derain healed you?"

Afifa nodded. "Mr. DeLand and another gentleman healed me. I don't know what happened before, except that I was taken away from the Earl's Court, and the rest was told to me by Mr. Alfond and Mr. Parker. ”

"Miss Afifa, Miss Afifa," Parker chased after him with a pair of short legs, glanced at Fang Yuan warily, and hurriedly stopped between him and Afifa. He took a step back and whispered to the girl, "You have to be careful, Miss Affa, this guy has a girlfriend. ”

But this stupid and stupid little man forgot that his team's communication channel was open. So much so that Fang Yu looked at this guy who was talking nonsense with a black line, and he was already thinking about the sad fate of the other party.

And Afifa blushed when he heard this, and quickly shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that, Mr. Parker......"

A certain 'girlfriend' looked at this scene with a smile, turned his head, and looked at Tang Xin on the side. But the latter only looked down at his cousin's shoulder.

Princess Rupert looked at the cool mother's girlhood face, and for a moment she was not in a trance, she hurriedly blinked her eyes, and said in a slightly trembling tone, "Miss Affa—"

Afifa didn't hear the weakness in the other party's words.

The girl didn't even know who had been assigned by her previous captors, and maybe she wouldn't know the secret for the rest of her life, so she was so flustered that Her Royal Highness the legendary princess knew her, and hurriedly saluted: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess......"

"Your Highness the Princess." Teresa then bowed. "His Highness Aleph."

Alepf hurriedly bowed his head in return, but he didn't know who this person was and why he knew him.

Rupert looked at the man in the black chain mail. "Are you, Mr. Dere......?"

The latter nodded slightly.

She turned her head and looked at Fang Yu before she asked the other party, "Mr. Delan, do you have any solution?" ”

"I don't, but someone has—"

Outside Kasan Palace, the guards suddenly stirred. The crowd stepped back, as if they had been swept apart by something, and behind the crowd, a tall structure appeared. And the one under the structure, the man. Many, many people.

At the forefront, it was actually Ms. Elna. Behind him, Fang Yu also recognized all kinds of people wearing robes and overcoats, it was the alchemists. The alchemists of the Istanian Artisan Guild have all arrived here.

Lady Erna walked briskly through the crowd and bowed to Aleph and Princess Rupert, her tone of voice was a little high-spirited. "Your Royal Highness Princess, at first we helped the citizens move to Beicheng District, but now I heard that you are still here, and all the Istanian Artisans Association has come, and most of the people who are still alive are here-"

She turned back to the men, and said, "They will also stay and guard this royal city, including me." ”

Fang Yu saw Alfonde, Pasha, Box and Luo Yu in the crowd all following over to make peace.

Princess Rupert's eyes twinkled.

The atmosphere in the hall was loosened a lot, and the sudden reinforcements seemed to let everyone see a glimmer of hope.

An old man with a silver gray beard that was about to fall to the ground also came out to salute Alepf and the princess, dressed in a black cloth robe and carrying three rings on his hand, one of which had a black spider emblem tattooed on it. At Sylvide's prompting, Fang Ou learned that this old man was the master of the Istanian General Association.

The craftsmen had lost a lot of their rigs in previous battles, but that wasn't a problem, as Kasan's palace still had royal inventory, and Alepf promised to give them to everyone. With the Constructed Combat Craftsmen, one person is equal to an army, not to mention the fact that this is the combat branch of the entire Istanian Craftsmen's Association.

If they had been involved in the previous battle, the Sand Pirates would have been defeated more quickly.

However, this still does not address the root cause of the problem. The craftsmen seemed to know about this, and without waiting for the eldest princess to ask—from Erna and the old man down, everyone tacitly agreed to get out of the way.

The road led to the bottom of the tall structure, and under the structure stood a silent man, dressed in a gray and black trench coat with silver buttons, like two rows of nails on the city wall, and he stood there, like a silent wall, with silver frost on his temples and a bright gaze.

When many people see this man, they subconsciously have an illusion: have they seen each other somewhere? And Princess Rupert's heart felt even stronger. Before she could speak, the man stepped forward, and the guards next to her didn't know for a moment whether to stop her or not.

But fortunately he stopped halfway down the hall and raised his hand, with a pair of leather gloves and iron rings on his wrists. He opened his hand, and the thing in his hand slid to the ground, and with a few 'clanging' sounds, a few silver objects rolled down to the marble floor.

It was a few rings, forged in sterling silver, with a little blood stain on the ring, and a closed eye pattern could be faintly visible under the blood lines.

Fang Yu recognized the other party.

They even fought each other, in Tansnir's sand lodge, but the other party didn't do their best at the time, and he was still almost defeated. Later, when he met with Delan, he met the other party again, and he knew that they were cooperating with Ye Hua, but when asked about the identity of the other party, he only got a brief answer:

Avenger.

Whose revenge is it and to whom it is avenged?

He looked at Ye Hua. Ye Hua was also looking at this person, and there was no special expression on his face, as if the relationship between them was limited to the commission of the Sand King Babaltan.

However, Fang Yu quieted down, he was waiting for the other party at the moment.

"There are twelve places where the Blind Followers perform their rituals in the city," replied the man, retracting his hand and looking up at Princess Rupert. "Eight of them have been wiped out by us, and the remaining four should be about the same."

This sentence made the hall so quiet that it was audible to drop a pin.

"Is that thing out there summoned by the blind followers through rituals?" Rupert asked, "If the ritual is broken, will it go back?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, where do you think it should go back?" The other party asked rhetorically.

Rupert opened his mouth. For a while, no one came out to point it out, and this rhetorical question seemed a bit rude. There was a strange thought in people's minds, where did the twisted thing come from, and where should it go?

The hall was silent, and the most learned of the scholars could not answer the question.

"Is this important?" There was a moment of silence before Rupert reacted.

The other man nodded. "It's about how we get it back."

"That is," Princess Rupert reacted quickly this time, "do you have a way to send it back?" ”

Her words immediately caused a whisper in the hall.

"I don't, but some of us do, and we add it up and maybe figure it out." The other looked around, put his hand under his coat, and when he took it out again, he wrapped a thick leather glove around something.

He wrapped the object in his hands, and carefully revealed a trace of it, a dreamlike green glow blooming through the gaps in his gloves.

Fang Yu recognized the thing at a glance and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

The man stepped forward, crouched down, and placed the brilliant crystal in the center of the marble floor, presenting it to everyone. , the blue light, from the clear green crystal in all directions, lasted for a long time, as if the entire hall was darkened.

That's the Radiance of the Firmament -

But that gem.

"Emerald Star." In the crowd, someone had already whispered.

"This is ......" Her Royal Highness the Princess was also a little surprised, she didn't know the Emerald Star, but the Emerald Star did not exude such a heart-wrenching brilliance-

There seemed to be a soft voice in the light, telling the murmuring past, which was the history of countless eras, the stars and the rays, and the brilliance of life.

People seem to see the first birth of life, and they also seem to see the origin of everything.

The other party straightened up, looked at Her Royal Highness the Princess, paused for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Your Royal Highness Princess, when I first met your mother, she was as old as you are now. It can be said that your wisdom is inherited almost entirely from your mother, who is one of the few who can read the manuscript and decipher the secret from it—"

The princess opened her mouth wide and looked at each other in disbelief.

In the hall, there was also a deathly silence.

Fang Yu was stunned.

Possibilities swirled in his mind, and the last most likely thought came to mind. He seemed to suddenly understand who the other party was and who he was taking revenge on.

Names, IDs, and codes flashed through his mind like marquees—owls, snails, birds of prey, Age, apothecaries, shields and travelers, or travelers...... Star?

But in any case, at least the name of the Dawn Star is already close at hand.

The figures of Captain Quelod and Miss Scarpe, as if emerging from the darkness, disappeared in an instant. He looked at the person in front of him, and a thought involuntarily flashed through his heart, did Captain Quelod and Miss Scarpe really be his teammates once?

If this is true, what code name do they represent in the group that was once also called the 'Dawn Star'? What's really going on behind the Battle of Byrne?

But he forced all kinds of doubts in his mind.

The other party spoke: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the light you see at the moment is called Cangzhihui. It's not quite quite, but it's the best gift your mother, for you, and for Istania—"

"In this light, there is another world. What is written in that note is actually the way to this world, and it is your mother who uses her wisdom to find clues from it when we are all at a loss. ”

"And it," he sighed faintly, turning to look at the gloomy sky beyond the palace, "is the only solution to all this at this moment." ”

Princess Rupert watched silently at the glow as blue as the sea, flowing slowly like a dream.

She also seemed to have a dream, dreaming of her mother, standing in the light. Everything was like a memory from a long time ago, when she was still a child, listening to her mother tell stories from afar.

The distance in the story seems to be close at hand.

But after all, she has grown up, as if she has inherited her father's calmness: "What's that solution?" ”

The other party slowly opened his mouth, as if telling an ancient story......

A thousand years ago, the star of calamity descended.

Named the verdant star, it shines above the earth, and it brings the power of darkness, from which giants, naga, and dark dragons are born.

The legend of the Dark Saints has haunted this world since that era. After a long war, the elves defeated the giants, and the mortals slew the dark dragons and drove the Naga to the open seas of Hanrena.

But the wounds of the long war never subsided, and the sad story of the dragon slayer, the spirit of Noumerin who left this continent, the pure silver moon, has never shone on the land of Ethelin since.

And few people know how the elves won the final victory-

It's just that they left a record of the time on the ancient stone slabs.

The elves believed that the verdant came from another world and brought everything from that world to the darkness. And with the help of the gods of Orin, they hammered out five holy relics from the verdant fragments.

And from it, he obtained a power that was almost close to the source - the light of the sky.

With the help of such power, the mortals finally won that war.

"But for a thousand years, no one knows how the gods of Orin hammered out of the verdant stars to forge such an almost opposing force—"

The elves expounded the secret, but they were unable to do it, and in the end only five holy relics were left behind as the last basis for that era. The gods of Orin were also shy about it, as if they had stopped mentioning anything about the relics since that time......"

"Only the five creatures left behind seem to be a guide on how to find everything from the past, and the secrets left by the elves......"

"About the scourge, about Aitalia, about ...... The Gate of the Three Worlds ......"

The man looked up at the crowd. The bright light reflected in his eyes was like a little shining ghostly light. "Your Highness Princess, since the death of your mother, we, and the Lord of Sands, Babartan, have been trying to unravel this secret for many years, and we have not gained much, but at least it is not for nothing."

"The radiance above this crystal is not its true form, and it can exist for about a few hours in the excited state. And these few hours are our last chance left. ”

Princess Rupert listened silently.

"With it," she asked, "can you repel Descartes' twisted incarnation?" ”

"No," the other shook his head again, "what it really does is to get us to another world." A world where only Starlight, the Gods Sleep, where we have the only chance to stop Descartes' resurrection. ”

As soon as he said this, Fang Yu blurted out:

"Let's challenge a god?"

"Nope."

The other looked at him and replied, "A god who is still recovering." ”

But that's pretty much it, Fang Yu couldn't help but think to himself.

There was a silent silence swirling through the hall, like a monster engulfing everyone's voices.

All that was left was the mere sound of breathing.
