Chapter 3 Adventure Plans
The stormy waters had not yet receded, but the autumn clouds had taken a hint of coolness, and the poet played the harp in a low voice, and the fireplace on one side of the wall was filled with fuel, and a thin layer of flames burned through the dull pine floor of the hall, and shone on the faces of the people at the long table.
Attila was still sitting in the throne—the result of unanimous agreement, but most of their eyes fell on the young man next to Miss Elf, who was still wearing a long beige shirt with a leather waistcoat over it, and long soft hair on her forehead, looking around at everyone—
Miss Attila, Mr. Big Catman, Luo Yu, Sky Blue, Kita, Miss Sylvide, and her maid Shesta, there were quite a few, and the box and Parker had arrived, and the boy had changed his outfit, but it was still the same middle two, and the latter was writhing in his chair, not restless.
On the other side of the throne was an uninvited guest, Princess Brie Karansir, who sat there for a long time, looking at him and Sylvid, her eyes full of gossip.
There was another mysterious guest beside her, with his head down, covering his face with a hood, only revealing two strands of hair on his chest, Fang Yu had vaguely guessed the identity of the other party in his heart, but he did not speak.
Then there was a tall, one-eyed man—to-day he wore no turban, only a dirty coat, leaning against a pillar on one side, and guarding the direction of the Plover and Sylvid—one his future captain, the daughter of the lord whom he had sworn allegiance.
Fang Yu already knew that this big man was called Baggins, and he was Sylvide's father's subordinate, and he had worked as a boatswain and gunners on ships for a period of time in his early years. When Sylvid finally chose to join the team, she dismissed everyone, leaving only this person, which shows how extraordinary she is.
Of course, the process of her joining did not suffer many twists and turns, and everyone agreed to the nobleman's daughter's request - among them, Tianlan was even more like a small appearance that whoever disagreed would die with whom, but fortunately, no one objected, and even Luo Yu, who had always disagreed, voted in favor this time.
However, at this time, she is called the daughter of the noble, in fact, there are some untrue, after all, she has chosen to say goodbye to her past identity, and in the future, she will be a beautiful and intelligent ship officer miss who only belongs to them.
In terms of level, Baggins is around level 15, and his experience is distributed as a pure combat class - Musketeer, a class that combines melee combat and musket shooting, and is good at using scimitars, bayonets, and handcuffs. Of course, he actually had more than this level in his early years, and it was only because he was permanently disabled in a battle that his level dropped significantly, and he became what he is today.
Sylvid said that her father, Sir Marvey, had offered to help them, but he politely declined, and that his pride and loneliness might be the character of these sea wolves. However, the addition of Baggins can be regarded as the third high-level combat power in the team in addition to the big cat man and Shesta.
At this time, the professional distribution in the team has actually changed to a certain extent when Fang Yu and everyone meet. For example, Miss Elf faintly retired from the original front-line combat position and became the manager of the team, mainly responsible for logistics and everyone's daily chores.
As a druid and chef, she is more comfortable in these matters than before.
And Parker has also changed from the original reconnaissance unit and scout to the main marksman, and Fang Plover took over the original position of the Paparal, taking on the task of scout with a clockwork elf.
Of course, in fact, for more professional teams, it is the Nightingale and Ranger that are more suitable for this position. After all, compared to front-line reconnaissance (scouts and spearheads), the combat craftsman is actually more suitable for field control reconnaissance (observer), because although it has a wider field of vision, it also lacks the ability to deal with ambushes and surprise attacks in the enemy's hidden state.
However, at the lower levels, this is not much of a problem.
As for the former subordinates of her father who Sylvid dismissed, there was no need to worry, because Princess Brian promised to take care of the fate of these people, and as the former heroes of the Battle of Byrne, this was nothing more than a gesture for her.
Hanging above hangs a transparent wooden cabinet with a black pine frame inlaid with six-sided glass, and inside is a five-pillar brass crystal lamp, which glows brightly, illuminating the tabletop transparently.
On a long table with a layer of light red checkered cloth was laid with plates and cutlery, baskets of locally produced fruit and croissants, fenris yogurt on a tray, hot potatoes and a salted fish on the plate.
In the immediate aftermath of the disaster, Yuntai Harbor was not well stocked.
However, the aroma of the food still caused everyone's throats to move, Fang Yu was in a coma for nearly half a month, although he was not injured, but he barely ate anything, and his body system was already reminding him that he needed to eat urgently.
Everyone had a tacit understanding during the meal, and almost no sound was made, except for the occasional knife and fork touching the plate. Only the Paparals were the only ones who were snoring and snoring, but everyone was accustomed to it and did not feel anything wrong.
Without such scenes, they may still be a little unaccustomed to it.
On the tablecloth, next to the vase, a bunch of sun-dried dill slanted and a communication crystal beside it.
A light curtain is projected on the crystal, and some recent anecdotes in the port are repeatedly broadcast - the north says that it is difficult to walk in places where water is accumulated, and pedestrians are asked to pay attention to detours; where reconstruction is going well; The priest of Milera is spreading the gospel of God in the city and carrying out 'humanitarian' relief work – and the word humanitarianism is one of the buzzwords that the indigenous people have learned.
Among these small news, there are also many news worth noting for local adventurers, such as requests for help from residents. In Aitalia, it was discovered early on that the Transmission Crystals could be used for such work, and it was the Adventurers' Guild of Kaurin-Ishurian who first used them.
This is followed by a chant recitation, the cheap crystal itself does not make a sound, but is made by a honeycomb-shaped wooden box that resembles an old-fashioned radio, and the soft, slow singing voice is distorted through the speakers, but it is just as soothing.
Tianlan was the first to finish eating, put down the knife and fork, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then chattered about what had happened in the past half a month. When everyone reunites after a long absence, she naturally has endless topics to talk about - whether it is what she has seen and heard along the way, or some interesting things about arriving in Yunli Harbor, of course, the focus is on people's evaluation of Fang Yu.
She told them one by one, and she had a talent for storytelling, like a poet's innate ability, and although everyone was a witness, she still had a thrilling feeling when she heard it from others.
The others listened quietly, as if reliving everything back then.
Sylvide looked at the little girl with a slight smile in her eyes, and from time to time put the peeled fruit in front of her, which caused Tianlan to be a little embarrassed and hurriedly thanked her.
"Sister Sylvade, you're so nice."
The ship's attendant only smiled softly and gently rubbed her hair.
There was a warm light in her eyes, how long had it been since her father had left?
The lady treated her well, but she was also very strict, she had no friends in the castle, and all of them were estranged from her, though she might have become accustomed to solitude and quiet.
But people's hearts still need to soothe each other.
Fang Yu looked at this scene, and only then did he feel a little relieved, in his heart, this was a team, just like in the Dawn Star, but that team was established by Miss Scapet and Captain Quelod.
And this small team in front of him belongs to him.
It's small, but one day it will grow into a towering tree.
He listened to people talk about some of the things that had happened in recent days, not just in Yunligang, but also from all over the kingdom.
In the past half a month, the life of the Jeffrey Redcoats has naturally not been easy, the Spear of the Silver Forest and the Knights of Tapolis have not missed the opportunity to fall into the well, and the local aborigines have also taught them a lesson - the Redcoats' self-righteous excuse may work in the alliance, but the aborigines who witnessed everything at that time were not blind.
This series of events, coupled with the previous 'mercenary dishonesty' incident, also made the image of the Jeffrey Redcoats plummet in the eyes of the public, and even the original online water army and washing party couldn't help but lose their voices for a while.
However, the BBK Alliance, which is more hidden, has received only one warning that it is not serious, and people in the community have only slightly complained about the matter, and most people only generally believe that the BBK Alliance is responsible for poor regulation.
The pursuit of the Blood Oath is still ongoing, but as time goes on, the chances of its core members being caught have become slimmer, and the officials of various countries have been silent about the matter, and people have gradually forgotten about it.
Anyway, this small guild paid the price, and it was originally insignificant in the Alliance.
Coupled with the approaching final round of the Continental League, it has gradually attracted everyone's attention, although the points and the number of places have been roughly determined at this moment, but people have speculated whether the Elpahim Artisan Association will send the talented boy that day.
Or use the other party as a secret weapon and hide it until you go to the Orsian Empire.
However, there are also rumors that the boy has traveled to Charter City to help the combined forces of Kaurin-Ishurian and the Chosen Ones against a powerful enemy, and news has long spread in Tarun that the armies of the dragon minions and the dragon worshippers are gathering in the north and that war is approaching day by day.
Another thing that people are concerned about is the recent sudden rumor of the disappearance of Doriffin's illusion, which is said to be one of the five bizarre events in Aitalia, and finally solved.
On the other hand, Fang Yu knew that Xingmen Harbor should be in full swing to investigate the Elect who had left the First World from the Black Holy City at that time, and find his whereabouts from them. He didn't know how long the process would take, but it wouldn't be too long.
It's just that the slightest bit of news from Xingmen Port is not revealed, giving people a sense of calm before the storm.
The importance attached to him does not only come from the Xingmen Port, because he has won a great reputation for the Chinese competition in the Kaulin-Ishurian Kingdom - and the Super Athletic League has also extended an 'olive branch' to him.
Because although the Super Athletic League has been cooperating with the kingdom over the years, there is still a lot of friction between the Electors and the natives because of various differences. And the appearance of such a heroic deed just caters to the current propaganda being carried out by the Super Athletic League, which greatly shortens the distance between the electors and the aborigines.
The last time such a scene occurred during the Battle of Byrne, and the harmony of folk voices caused the relationship between the Electors and the Aborigines to warm up rapidly, and even faintly entered the honeymoon period.
A scene of harmony, in turn, has diluted some of the tensions that have been growing in recent days.
Therefore, the Super Athletic Alliance sent him an invitation, and several major guilds expressed their willingness to let him join, but whether this 'olive branch' had a stinger or not, Fang Yu could not guarantee it. So now they haven't found 'him' yet.
What is even more surprising is that even the royal family of Kaulin-Ihurian, which has always maintained a neutral attitude towards the Elector's Guild and individuals, has issued an order this time to posthumously confer the title of royal nobility on the Chosen Ones 'Hero' on Fenris Island.
Although Fang Yu thinks that the word posthumously is simply unlucky.
And after this order, there is actually an unobtrusive attachment. When Princess Brianne took out the enclosure, Sky Blue whispered the words on it, and then said with some surprise:
"Miss Sylvide, those people are looking for you, too!"
Everyone looked at Miss Shipmaster, and Fang Yu also looked at her, and everyone understood who had given this order.
"It seems that someone noticed you and Sylvid at the time," Attila began, "and I'm afraid that the first edict has no other meaning." ”
Princess Brian nodded, she was the only one in the crowd who watched the 'live' at the time: "It was very clear that it was easy for those people to find Sylvid there - but fortunately, Ed's 'disappearance' is now a kind of protection for you." ”
"But in that case, doesn't Brother Ed have a noble title?" Azure asked.
"All false names are as easy to weathered as mud and sand," said the big cat man, taking off his pipe, "perhaps not burdened by it, but more commendable to our captain, true nobility comes from the heart." ”
Parker knocked on the table, unimpressed by the statement, the shiny gold coin comes first, and it is necessary to be realistic - even more so as to be a Paparal.
However, Fang Yu also heard the implication of Atila's words, the so-called noble title may be a trap, if he really believes it to accept this title, he is afraid that he will immediately fall into the trap of the prime minister.
"Brother Ed, won't our next trip to Golander be unsafe?" Kita frowned at the enclosure before pushing her heavy round-rimmed glasses and asking.
Fang Yu was about to explain.
But on the contrary, Sylvid was on the side to help him speak, and she replied softly: "The most dangerous place may not be the safest, but at least it can make a time difference, and by the time those people react, we may have left that place long ago." ”
Fang Yu nodded: "At the moment, we have a few things that we must do, one is to agree to help Mr. Mazak deliver the letter, and the other thing is to go to the Adventurers' General Union in Golander to check if the Dawn Star still exists, and officially form our team." ”
"By the way, we also have to investigate Mr. Kidd's matter to see if the second hire has left a message in the Artisan Association, although the chances are slim, but as long as there is a chance, we must try."
"And the destination of these things is to go to Goland or the surrounding area, so in any case, this trip is essential."
He looked at the others, but there was something else going to Goland this time, and that was that he, Pucker, and the box had all gained a lot of experience during the trial, and they needed to spend that experience urgently.
Cloud Harbor, while prosperous, is only a commercial transit port, and Goland, one of the two capitals of the kingdom, will have everything they need there.
Since the dragon minions he killed in the end were all dark creatures, the experience he gained during this mission was very amazing, although he was not the one who settled the mission, but Fang Yu estimated that his character level jump might be more than four levels.
Even more than Dorifin's party.
And the box and Parker may be a little less, but there are at least two or three levels of improvement, of which the original level of the box is only level eight, a little lower than him, and the improvement of three levels is completely expected.
After thinking about it, Fang Yu couldn't help but look at Attila on the side, who had already learned some of her brother's experiences after leaving the Giant Tree Hill from Sylvid, and she only nodded slightly: "The outcome of Kidd's matter is difficult to change, but it is true that I also want to go to the Adventurers' Guild to take a look, as for other aspects, Ed, as the captain, you can naturally make a decision." ”
"Alright, I'll talk about the rest of the plan."
Fang Yu then put his hand on the table, spread out a huge map, pointed to the map and said:
"Miss Sylvede's father's affairs have been understood, and have agreed to intervene, so it is estimated that the preparation time for the royal family of Kaulin-Ishurian to form a new ship regiment should be about a year and a half to two years."
"That is, two years at the latest, a year and a half at the earliest – that's the time we have. And in this year, half or two years, our top priority is naturally to try our best to improve our own strength. But that's just one thing, and the second is to find a way to build our own floatboat—or rather, to complete the blueprints for the Seven Seas Traveler, because that's a prerequisite for us to travel to the Second World." ”
"So after going to the General Guild of Goland's Adventurers, how our adventure plan unfolds and how we plan the route must be considered from these two aspects."
"Before that, I had planned to use Mr. Limestone's platform as a practice to accumulate relevant knowledge and experience. And I've discussed this with Miss Sylvede, and Luo Yu, and our first plan is to add floating airbags to the platform, and install platform protection to further improve the platform's carrying capacity and survivability—"
"The production of airbags is too professional, but we can directly purchase finished products from Golland, but we have to do it ourselves for platform transformation, so the next adventure area, my opinion is that it is best to choose an area with suitable raw materials for the transformation of the platform."
At this time, Ji Ta whispered, "Then we can go to the south of Goland, and go west from Dulun into the Cave Bottom Mountain Range, where there is a training area that is very suitable for us. ”
Fang Yu also thought of that place, where a large number of Egon sacred trees grew in the brown-red mountain forest, the wood of this tree was not the first choice for airships, but it was a very high-quality special wood.
Lightweight and sturdy, it's a great way to retrofit platforms, and there's also a good quality Guy Crystal there, which is worth collecting.
"And the Long Lake area south of Van Rik."
Others also commented.
Fang Yu remembered another thing: "Although it is a transformation platform now, one day we need to build our own ship, but there must be a place for shipbuilding, Miss Sylvide, you should have thought about this problem, right?" ”
Most of the shipyards in Kaulin-Ishurian are full, and if the royal family were to reorganize a new ship regiment within two years, it would be difficult for any shipyard in the Elpakhin, Goland, or Rodale regions to spare the docks for private work.
Not to mention, what they have to do is not very visible.
Sylvid nodded, "I know of a place that was once occupied by pirates, but has since been abandoned for some reason, but in the winding fjords there, there are still some places where there can be built big ships—in fact, some pirate ships were built there. ”
"Pirates? What's that place, Sister Sylvede? Tianlan couldn't help but ask curiously.
"A place called Lost Bay."
Fang Yu was slightly stunned, he had heard of this place, that place was originally a pirate lair, but then the environment in the bay changed, the perennial fog lingered, and the hydrological conditions were complicated, resulting in frequent shipwrecks, and soon the pirates abandoned this place.
There was a shipyard where the pirates had once hidden, and to Fang Yuan's surprise, Sylvid would know these details, needless to say, these news must have been obtained from his father's sailors.
It seems that the great explorer of Kaulin-Ishurian also had a rich life experience.
He soon found the place on the map, and he drew a line with his finger between Goland and the Lost Bay, and found that the line was not too far from their other destination, the Cave Bottom Mountains, so he made up his mind for a moment.
At this time, Miss Elf also raised a question: "Although airbags can be bought, daily sewing and repair, and even replacement always require a tailor's apprentice." ”
"If we think about the long term," Sylved replied, "we'd better find a professional sailor." While apprentice tailors are also capable of sewing and repairing, professional sailmakers are not. ”
"The salary of a professional sailmaker is not cheap—"
Fang Yu scratched his head.
Like professional alchemists, professional craftsmen in each of the other life professions are paid a lot of money, and the aborigines generally do not like to join the ranks of the Electors, and if they are Drafter Craftsmen, it will be even more expensive.
And it's hard to find, because who will have a guild behind the life profession or something?
But at this time, everyone heard a soft voice.
"If Mr. Ed doesn't mind, maybe I can try to take on this position."
The crowd couldn't help but look in that direction.
Only then did I see Princess Brianne's side, and the guest with his face covered by a hood raised his head, revealing a beautiful face—but no stranger to it.
Because it was the older of the twins, Alyssa.
She smiled lightly at Fang Yu: "I know a little bit of tailoring skills, but I don't know, if Mr. Ed is willing to take me in again?" “
