Before word could be heard about what had happened at Elffindor's banquet that day, the people of the Seven Seas were ready to set out on another journey. m.

Eventually, Count Cillin-Sibicca and Master Ender adopted Fang's advice and chose to find someone else to be the heir to the Rose Workshop. Of course, this 'alternative search' itself was not achieved overnight, and since Rollin left, the remaining Lynn is obviously not so meaningful. And the Earl himself seems to have the intention of cultivating an heir.

After all, he was only forty-eight years old this year, and he was still in the prime of life at Aitalia's age.

As for the elven legacy left by Fang in the council, it also gave him a lot of good benefits, including the fairy heart. And the promise he made to Count Sirin-Sibika and others actually had another meaning.

After soliciting Sylvid and Tang Xin's advice, although he chose to leave the Elffindor Council and the inheritance of the Rose Workshop, he did not ignore it and leave it. After all, he contributed a lot to the Van Rik incident, so naturally he couldn't give up his influence in the battle of Nicol Bolas in vain.

Otherwise, in the eyes of outsiders, they still think that he is retreating and weak, and he will go one step further.

By making this suggestion, he has the ability to provide a steady stream of technical support to the Elffindor Council, and he also has the means to contain the Council. The subject of ancient alchemy was so tempting that the alchemists of the southern realm would naturally make a choice under the division of this cake.

At the same time, he is free from the parliament, eliminating the possibility of being caught in it and becoming the target of others' attacks, so it can be said that he is invincible.

With this level of relationship, the council has a relationship of interest for him and for Sylvide. Relationships between allies and allies often do not last long and dominate everything, but interests can often last for a long time and make the relationship closer to each other.

And in this way, even if there are people like Pudra who want to recreate what happened to the Albert family again, but now the council and the southern nobles have to consider the opinions of the majority of alchemists, and they will not be exempt from the rat trap.

In this way, the Seven Seas Traveler has achieved his goal, and even if he is not in Van Rik or the South, he can in turn borrow the power of the Council.

This is what Fang calls 'bait'.

However, unlike in the past, most of this plan was come up with by himself, except that Sylvid, Tang Xin, Baggins and the big cat man helped him perfect the details. Fang was also greatly encouraged by the success of the plan, as it meant that he, and even the 'Seven Seas Brigade', had taken an important step from being a pawn at the mercy of others to becoming a chess player.

And then there's the arrival of the Fairy Heart.

The technical legacy of Sylvide's grandfather and his father, who had long been famous, was sent to Mr. Limestone's platform before it was revealed.

It was placed in a large container, and when the black-painted metal lid was opened, the dazzling main core crystal could be revealed. It is about three meters long and more than a meter wide, and is carefully wrapped in a layer of cotton-filled silk.

The crystal rested quietly, the multicolored crystal structure constrained by large and small copper pipes, and its internal carvings were covered with dense alchemy circles, making it lose its original appearance, and the whole body was more like a container for depicting layers of alchemical formulas.

The complex mechanical part of its surface is made of the most expensive material that can be counted, Adamantite Gold, and the most conductive Mithril is used as a magic guide, just like the silver light path above the golden sky.

The dragon scales are used as magical insulators, and at the same time act as an inner cushion, enveloping the transmission made of fairy alloy underneath. Even the cheapest form of copper is not something that is commonly seen, but the product of an enchantment that has been repeatedly refined by alchemists.

Finally, it is covered with an expensive layer of magical black wood to be compatible with the mana transmission of the ship's hull.

This huge and delicate device allowed Fang to truly see the luxury of the top alchemy products. Because every part on it is not deliberately made for the sake of ornamentation or show-off, but has its own necessity.

It can be said that this is the most 'simple' design, but it has to be so in order to meet its staggeringly high 'indicators'.

Seeing this thing, Fang couldn't help but look at the ship's officer on the side, and couldn't help blushing a little when he thought of the Haikou he had boasted about.

'Fairy Heart' is only the name of this alchemy work, but it is actually the core of the ship's magic furnace, the main engine and crystal core. It's so complex and sophisticated, it's expensive to build, but it's just one of many large pieces of equipment on a floating ship.

When he was young and ignorant, he actually promised to build a floating ship, but the moment he saw this ship-type magic furnace, he realized how wrong he was.

The construction of the floating ship is one of the largest systematic projects in the history of Aitalia's alchemy, and it is not inferior to the giant structures or dragon knights of the past, and even surpasses them in some fields. The manufacture of a sixth-class frigate also requires the cooperation of hundreds of craftsmen in at least one shipyard, and needs to be completed under the leadership of several master craftsmen, among which there is countless capital investment, is this another rhetoric?

Although the Seven Seas Traveler is a concept ship, it is similar to it, as can be seen from this crystal.

But fortunately, by chance, since this fairy heart, he has also gathered some strength in his hands, so that such a fantastical thing as 'building a floating ship' no longer seems to be an illusory goal.

For the first time, it seemed somewhat visible.

Sylvade's pale fingertips stroked the crystal, a little distracted. Then the girl turned her head to look at Fang, her eyes were shining, although she didn't speak, she still saw Fang's heart skip a beat, and he saw the joy and gratitude from the depths of the other party's eyes.

Maybe I'm glad I chose the right person.

With that tiny touch.

It's just that the relationship between the two is no longer necessary to thank you at the moment.

Of course, the Fairy Heart is not really in its completed state, it is just one of the many legacies of the Silver Tower, and the many whimsical ideas about the Elven Dragon Knight, from Rogen onwards, every generation of master craftsmen of the Sirin-Sibika family has poured their hearts and souls into it, including Sylvid's maternal grandfather.

The Masters had already realized most of the ideas in the design, and the only thing it lacked now was a magic furnace that could hold it, a matching Dragon Soul Crystal, and a Fairy Dragon Soul.

It's just that all three of them are available.

Among them, the Dragon Soul Crystal and the Fairy Dragon Soul are not to mention, Tata was originally one of the important legacies in the Silver Tower Fairy Dragon Knight Project, one of the seven existing Fairy Dragon Souls. And in fact, whether there are still seven fairy dragon souls still existing, Tata can't provide a positive answer to this.

But at least, there is one in his hands right now.

And the fairy gold left to him by the Dawn Star, coupled with a batch of Mithril sent by Momiji, also gave the production of the ship-type magic furnace a material basis. As for the idea of designing the Magic Furnace for ships, it came from Hain-Sail, which was the best design that could hold non-attribute crystals.

With all three of these in place, the core of the 'Seven Seas Traveler' becomes a real existence at your fingertips.

Of course, a floating ship powered by a magic engine, as you can imagine, is just a small ship. But after a successful design experience, all that remains is the accumulation of materials and money.

Mithril, Adamantite Gold, and Dragon Scales are rare in all kinds of precious magic crystals, but behind the vast sea of clouds, there are always possibilities.

What's more, no matter how small the floating ship is, it is also a floating ship, at least much larger than the platform behind Mr. Graystone.

Before leaving Van Rick, there were always many trivial things that made people inseparable, but Mr. Fang had not forgotten that he still had an agreement with the bishop of Yunliugang.

So on the third day before the date of departure, he saw the servant again, and under the guidance of the taciturn young man, he met the old bishop in a café outside Elffindor Square.

That place happened to be directly opposite the inn where Tang Xin and Ai Xiaoxiao were staying, and Fang remembered that not long ago, he had temporarily taught Ragnarok's Cui Yu and Dill ancient alchemy, and helped them win that competition.

He still remembered the middle-aged boss who was a little blessed, and the other party obviously recognized him, and asked him with some surprise: "Mr. Ed still remembers owing me an autograph, right?" ”

Fang only then remembered this incident, and he promised the other party at that time that if he won the championship, he would leave his signature. But so much happened after the game that he put it behind him for a while.

However, since the other party asked, he was also happy to fulfill his promise. The chubby boss gets his autograph and happily says he wants to keep it safe, it's the autograph of the young hero who saved Van Rik, and maybe it will become a family heirloom in the future.

Fang returned to his place, and Bishop Tirioan, who had been sitting there waiting for a while, did not look impatient at all, and the old man seemed to be as calm as ever, raised his eyebrows, and looked at the young man with a wise gaze.

Then he spoke, "Mr. Ed must be very curious about Torragotos?" ”

Fang didn't expect the other party to get straight to the point as soon as he came up, so he couldn't help but nodded.

He was indeed curious about Toragotos' experience.

From his limited information, he had already learned that the legendary green dragon had been born beneath Fenris, but had avoided the same fate as all his brothers and sisters, and it seemed to have made a deal with the dark god of the lizardmen to leave Fenris.

After leaving Fenris, it embarked on a life of travel that lasted for hundreds of years, visiting many places in Aitalia, and possibly even to the Second World, leaving behind many legendary experiences. It was during this time that it developed extraordinary friendships with the Steelbrow Dwarves and the Elves, and then returned to Fenris.

Back in Fenris, it has become one of the most famous dragons of Cowlin Ishurian, and has a wealth that rivals that of a nation. Even the Lord of Kaulin Ishurian recognized Torragotos' rule in Fenris, and he became the guardian of Yunlugang for a century or two.

Fang only knew that after the other party returned to Fenris, he had left Fenris several times later. The last of these was to go to Nognes, where he took the 'body of a god' from the Orsian Empire and hid it in the hands of the lizardmen.

That departure triggered the Battle of Byrne thirteen years ago, and the 'Body of God' was later brought back to Fenris by the Listening to Rain Guild. It can be said that this incident was the beginning of all the disasters that Fenris had in the future.

But beyond that, he didn't know much more about the legendary green dragon's experience.

Even if the other party finally fell to Idus, whether he really died at the hands of Rollin, or if there was another hidden reason, he did not know.

However, hearing what the old bishop said, Fang thought that the other party wanted to tell him in detail about the origin of this legendary dragon and whether the other party's death in Idus was really true. But the old man only mentioned it briefly, and then the conversation changed to mention that Toragotos had also made a trip to the Shore of the Scepter once before going to Nognes.

Although this information was a bit headless and tailless, it still caught Fang's attention. Because he knew so much about the Coast of the Staff, whether it was the cold country west of the Ancient Tower, the Ancient Hunters, or the wolf insignia of the Rogersl family that appeared in his field of vision repeatedly, Nicol Bolas, and the Worship of the Dragons, all seemed to be inextricably linked to this place.

But in this regard, the old bishop said something else: "After the catastrophe of Fenris, we have been keeping an eye on the movements of the dark forces underground. But there are some things that we haven't mentioned to the public, and after you left, the dark forces under Fenris have not disappeared, but have become extremely active. ”

Fang Wenyan was taken aback. The golden flame ring on his body absorbed part of the power of the lizard-man dark god at that time, but after that, whether the other party was dead or alive, or completely silent, in fact, he didn't know.

He also inquired about Yunliu Harbor afterwards, but he didn't get much. In addition to rumors, the huge earthquake in the Fenris event damaged the foundations of Fenris Island, causing the island to now sink slowly at a rate of several meters per year.

The old bishop looked at him and said, "You guessed right, the so-called rumor that the earthquake damaged the foundation was spread on our own initiative. In order to transfer the population of Fenris Island as soon as possible, because the reason why Fenris Island really sank is actually because of the resurgence of the dark forces within it. ”

"How so?" Fang couldn't help but ask.

But the old bishop did not answer, but silently looked out of the glass window, and his face, covered with age spots, was crisscrossed with wrinkles. After a while, he turned around and said, "Before we left Fenris to head south, the astrologers announced a new discovery. ”

"They observed the emergence of a new star in the sky east of Kaulin Ishurian, which had never existed before, as if it had grown out of thin air. And according to your classification, its apparent magnitude is sixth, very faint, and the light is blue-white, occupying the southeast sky, in the lower left corner of the constellation of the Serpent. ”

He looked at Fang carefully and said, "Do you know what that is?" ”

Fang was a little dazed at first, but suddenly a possibility flashed in his mind.

Serpent's Tail, Throne of Darkness.

The fire of Venus, the green star of evil

He suddenly looked up and muttered, "Is that ......?"

The old bishop's eyes flashed with insight: "Young man, it seems that you really know this secret, and it seems that the Tower thinks that you are the one of the stars, and it seems that it is not a lie. ”

He then continued: "The lizards are far more perceptive than humans and elves, so they have long observed the star, and they think that it is hanging alone in the shining sea, which is the third calamity of the great prophecy of antiquity, the third scourge star. ”

"It's impossible...... Fang subconsciously said.

"Of course, no one knows whether this is true or not," replied the old bishop, "but the lizards have many unique traditions, some of which we have not yet been able to understand. But the reason why I agreed to come south with them to find you is because of something I remember. ”

Fang's expression also became serious, understanding that what the other party was going to say next was the focus of this conversation.

The old bishop said: "As the supreme guardian of Cloud Harbor, Toragotos has seen each other many times in the palace of the mountains when I was young, and of course it has not revealed its true face at that time, but it is already dying, so I especially like to talk to us young people about its past travels. ”

"I was very close to it at the time, and it told me very many stories, and I remember one time when it returned from the Shore of the Scepter and mentioned a peculiar tradition there that stuck with it. Locals would pick out a teenager to find and kill a bipedal wyvern, decapitate it, and bring it back to their tribes, where they would repeat this peculiar tradition, known locally as 'pilgrimage', every few decades. ”

"When Torragotos talked about this strange experience, I was actually a little curious. Because I realised that there was a similar tradition in Cowlin Ishurian, do you know what that place is? ”

Fang shook his head.

"In Idus." The old bishop replied word for word.

Fang raised his head a little unexpectedly and looked at the other party.

"The so-called 'pilgrimage' is not actually a peculiar tradition, but an old thing in the same vein as the oathkeepers, and the parade of the hero Shuyodre is actually the same as this. After that, I went to the literature and found that there were no such deeds in the other cultures of Aitalia, except that the Oath Keepers had passed them down from generation to generation. ”

The old man paused for a moment and spoke, "Similar to Idus, on the Shore of the Scepter, that place no longer exists. It used to be the domain of an old kingdom, and then it was placed under the rule of Kaurin Ishurian, ruled by an old noble family. But over the decades, it is said that the noble family has gradually declined, and now it is left with only a decaying forest, called the Frost Glade. ”

Fang's heart moved, he had heard of that place, because he happened to check the information there, and that place was the territory of the Rogers family.

He had a vague feeling in his mind that something was coming to light.

Then the old bishop said: "What you did in the Fenris incident saved countless innocent lives. Many of them don't even know if you're alive or dead, but I, who know the inside story, have to go south to find you and tell you the inside story. ”

"Actually, before the events of Fenris, the Templar had a lot of criticism about Torragotos, in fact, since it returned from the Shore of the Scepter, it no longer had easy contact with the followers of Mirella, with us, and it pretended that it was too old to enter the sanctuary of Mirera and Ori."

"So I always suspect that something must have happened between its way to the Shore of the Scepter. In fact, the lizardmen also believe that the omen of the third evil star will be the first to be confirmed in the east. ”

He looked at Fang and said, "There is one more thing, in fact, Luo Lin also came from there. ”

Fang was taken aback.

But the old bishop's intention, of course, was not as simple as he said.

The dark forces active in the underground of Fenris seem to confirm the ancient prophecy of Gudasok, and in the eyes of the lizards, this ancient prophecy should be applied to the 'Star Lady'. Tirioan travels south with the Lizardmen and Karin Steelbrow to find him more than just a warning and a reminder.

It's also more about solving Fenris's looming crisis.

Although neither of them knew what kind of changes this so-called 'Star Dependent' identity could bring to Fenris. But for the old bishop, it seemed to be the only way to treat a dead horse as a living horse healer.

Fang actually had no idea whether he could solve Fenris's crisis. Even if he wasn't a 'star man', he was still at a loss.

But he did not directly refuse the other party, but only said that he would follow this clue to investigate, because that was also his purpose, and the two were not contradictory. It's just that as for the future outcome, it is naturally unknown.

Fortunately, the other party did not force it, and only nodded at his reply.

Shortly after bidding farewell to the old bishop, the crew of the Seven Seas Brigade finally set out on their journey westward.

Before that, Fang's uncle and aunt also arrived in advance, so Fang and Tang Xin immediately ushered in another storm. However, compared to his cousin's cunning, Fang was obviously much more honest.

Tang Xin was very witty to use Ai Xiaoxiao as a shield, and Zhang Rou was embarrassed to lose her temper in front of outsiders, saying that she and Ai Xiaoxiao's parents were also acquaintances, facing this poor little girl who was blinking and looking at herself, she had no choice but to glare at Tang Xin behind her, wave her hand and let the other party go.

As for Fang, apparently his luck was not so good.

After a long 'heart-to-heart talk', if Su Changfeng hadn't arrived in time, I was afraid that Fang would be dragged back to Xingmen Port by his aunt immediately, although they couldn't go back, it was another matter. However, after Su Changfeng took out the memorandum signed between the party and the military and the relevant documents with Xingmen Port, Tang Sheng and his wife naturally couldn't find any way to object.

No matter how strong Zhang Rou is, he can't be Xingmen Port's opponent, not to mention that the party violated the rules before, and Xingmen Port's relevant handling of him can be said to be legal and compliant.

So she could only teach Fang a good lesson in private, so that he could remember the lesson in the future.

But as a woman, Zhang Rou still couldn't help but be a little worried, and after telling Fang Yi bitterly, she couldn't help but reddened her eyes and said: "Your parents handed you over to us, if you have something long, how can your uncle and I explain to them?" ”

His aunt played the family card, and Fang could only scratch his head, thinking that he was so easy to have three strengths and two weaknesses, this is in Aitalia, not on the earth.

Fortunately, this matter finally came to an end after Sylvid's arrival.

Fang didn't expect that Tang Xin didn't take the matter of him and Sylvid to make a small report. So much so that after Zhang Rou heard for the first time that Fang had found a girlfriend in Aitalia, she was almost so surprised that she stared out her eyes.

The meaning of that expression was about: "Our pigeon, even find a girlfriend?" ”

However, after a long conversation between her and Sylvide, Fang apparently went from the center of the incident to a marginal person who was no longer so important. So much so that when Ms. Zhang Rou found him and asked him about Sylvid, she said, "You are going to return to Earth in the future, what should Sylvide do?" ”

Fang was also a little distressed, Sophie had mentioned this matter to him before, but what could he do for a while?

Zhang Rou looked at his face and knew that this guy didn't have a concept in his head at all.

She gave Fang a roll of her eyes and said, "Sylvid is a good girl, you can be worthy of others, stay in Aitalia well, and don't think about the affairs of the earth." ”

Fang was immediately petrified, with a ghostly look on his face, and there was only one thought in his mind: "Wait a minute, is there something wrong?" ”

Zhang Rou glanced at him with disgust: "A manly husband must be responsible, could it be that you kid wants to start and give up?" ”

Then he was left alone in a daze.

The second abbot was puzzled, so he found Sylvid and asked very curiously what she had talked about with her aunt.

But Sylvid listened, and only whispered in his ear with some amusement: "When your aunt saw me, it happened that Nini was pestering me, and Nini usually manifested herself in ether. She asked me who it was, and I had to say it was your daughter......"

"What!?"

……

Misunderstandings are always misunderstandings, and Ms. Zhang Rou naturally reacted quickly, and it was only a year and a half since their pigeons came to Aitalia. No matter how fast the progress of the two is, it is impossible to have a three- or four-year-old daughter.

However, this did not prevent her from having a growing affection for Sylvide, and even the more she looked at this future 'daughter-in-law', she became more and more satisfied, so that Fang's weak opinion was ignored from then on.

Of course, Fang's so-called opinion was actually just because Ms. Zhang Rou 'borrowed' Miss Ship Officer from him two times in three days, which caused a mess on his side and no one to deal with it.

And such a chaotic day also ended with the departure of the Seven Seas Brigade as promised.

Early in the morning, Tang Xin and Ai Xiaoxiao unbooked the hotel early and came to the woods where Mr. Limestone was staying. It's not far from Long Lake, and you can see beyond the Van Rik Harbour area at a glance in the middle of the groves.

It's just that when Ai Xiaoxiao saw Mr. Gray Rock, he was so surprised that little stars were about to pop up in his eyes. She trotted all the way to the behemoth, tilting her head to touch the Gray Ridge Negative Hill Beast, but she was a little timid.

Finally, at the instigation of Sky Blue on the side, she carefully touched Mr. Graystone's rough skin. The latter turned his head a little confused, chewed on the hedron, and glanced at the little girl with wide eyes.

Frightened, Ai Xiaoxiao stepped back with an 'ah' and hit Tianlan. Tianlan giggled to herself while holding the former: "Don't be afraid, Mr. Gray Rock has a good temper." ”

Ai Xiaoxiao slapped her chest, then turned around and shouted to Tang Xin: "Sugar Candy, come and see, this is the big cousin's boat!" ”

Tang Xin glanced at her from a distance. However, when she stopped to look at the behemoth, as well as the huge platform and airbag hanging from Mr. Limestone's back, although she didn't say anything, her heart was inevitably a little complicated.

The most intuitive impression of Aitaria is these giant beasts and landscapes that are very different from the earth, and the various ships floating in the sky.

They traveled south from Elpahim to a number of floating ships, from winged ships belonging to the Elpahim Craftsmen's Guild, to the slow and huge floating boats of Golland, from old merchant ships to new warships.

At the moment, this platform is definitely not the largest class they have ever seen, not even the smallest class. But your own boat has a completely different emotional impact compared to someone else's boat. It's like a young couple having their first home that belongs only to them, maybe cramped, but the warmth in their hearts is tantamount to having a palace that belongs only to them.

It is as if he is the master of the world, and has the confidence to overcome everything.

Tang Xin couldn't help but have an idea in her heart, this pigeon also did some heroic deeds in Aitalia that she could not imagine. Now the various companions around him are no longer the virtual teammates of the past games.

That's the people who really identify with him and gather around him. And being recognized by so many people is a great thing in itself, right? In her opinion, both Miss Attila and the big cat man Rhett are honest and excellent people.

She subconsciously remembered her mother's attitude towards Sylvide, and her heart was a little confused and uneasy for a while.

"This young lady?" A breathless voice came.

Tang Xin turned around a little unexpectedly and saw a dead fat man with a big shield on his back, who was checking a note on his hand, and asked her a little sweaty: "Is this the Seven Seas Brigade?" ”

"Who are you?"

"My name is Luo Hao," the fat man found the surprise of the organization with a look on his face: "You are a member of the Seven Seas Brigade?" ”

"It's not." Tang Xin had a headache when she heard the name Seven Seas Brigade.

She and Ai Xiaoxiao are naturally in their own right, they are the glow material they got from the military, and they are naturally the personnel stationed in Xingmen Port. Only Ai Xiaoxiao has a lot of complaints about this identity, and she prefers to join her eldest cousin's team, because Tianlan is also over there.

However, this small opinion was ruthlessly rejected by Tang Xin.

"Huh?" Luo Hao looked dazed.

…… u
