After passing through the second porch, he could be regarded as entering the hall, and Fang Yu saw two figures, one tall and one short, it was Sylvid and Driss. The little princess of the Cyrin Sibicca family raised her hands and was holding Sylvid's hand, frowning slightly as she talked to the former. The little girl occasionally pouted, looking very cute.

And the uncrowned stood behind Dressy with some helplessness. On the side were Luo Yu and the box, the box was dressed in a tightly wrapped black coat with only one eye exposed, out of place with everyone around, but there was also a crystal goblet in his hand, which was lightly filled with a layer of wine, which was like blood in the candlelight.

Fang Yu hurriedly turned his head to the side, pretending not to know this person.

And he turned his head, and saw a Lynn beside the two of them, who was holding an all-round plug-in, discussing something with Luo Yu. It was a little surprising to him that during the days when he was injured, Lynn came to visit him several times, during which he found a common topic with Luo Yu. After all, both of them are crazy about alchemy, one likes to fight craftsmen, and the other likes to make some bizarre and flexible structures, so it can be said that they hit it off.

In the past few days, Luo Yu has acted as an evaluator of the latter's works for free, providing full and professional advice, and learning a lot.

Although Luo Yu's own level of combat craftsmen is average, his vision is very high, and his basic knowledge is quite solid, and even in some details and common sense, even Fang Yu himself is not as good as - for example, what are the details of the craftsman competition, and what is the difference between 'margin challenge' and 'beast chess'? Fang Yu has always thought that the other party just lacks some talent and luck, but when it comes to the degree of hard work and seriousness, most people can't catch up.

Among the several people, only the uncrowned was facing the direction of the gate, so at a glance, he saw the Fang Plover who was walking over. He immediately nodded in this direction, although the curtain call of the previous Van Rik incident was not perfect, but because of Rollin's defection, the political marriage that Count Sirin Sibika had originally expected was naturally gone, and Delis no longer had to worry about marrying someone she didn't like.

The two can be said to owe Fang Yu a great favor because of this.

He patted Drith on the shoulder. "What are you doing, uncrowned?" Drissy grumbled and turned around, only to see Fang Ou, Momiji, and Atira—as for Kita, who was too short, she was pitifully drowned behind the crowd. Only then did she show a happy gaze, waved her hand hurriedly, and said in a childish voice, "Mr. Ed, you came just in time. ”

"How?" Fang Yu asked, but his eyes subconsciously moved to the side - today's Sylvid was wearing a light blue evening dress, with a slight blush made of dragon red wood dye on her face, so that her fair skin revealed some healthy color, and a little mole was dotted with crystal dust in the corner of her eye, just like a girl's tears.

The aristocratic daughter is like a sea-blue rose, and the light gauze is the tears and dew on the petals of the rose, ready to bloom with amazing beauty.

Sylvid noticed his gaze, and only covered her face with a silk fan, and a slight smile appeared in her sparkling eyes under her lowered eyelashes.

"Don't look at Sister Sylvide, Mr. Ed," said Delis, dissatisfied, "help me figure it out." ”

Fang Yu exposed it to a little girl's face, and couldn't help but be embarrassed: "Isn't the matter between you and Luo Lin already settled, what's wrong?" ”

"Who said Rollin, it's my father," Delis wrinkled her cute little nose and snorted: "Rollin is gone, but my father still doesn't want to see Wuguan, and sooner or later he will have to find other husbands for me." ”

Fang Yu only understood what she was talking to Sylvid before, and couldn't help but think to herself that this little girl was really a little ghost. However, he was too lazy to get involved in the family affairs of Count Cillin-Sbicca, and besides, Drissy and Uncrowned were not the same age.

We'll talk about that later.

He casually said a few perfunctory words, but how smart Delis was, she was definitely not comparable to the ordinary little Lori, and suddenly rewarded him with a pair of white eyes angrily. Fortunately, the little girl's white eyes were fluttering, and there was no lethality, Fang Yuan's eyes only met with his ship's officer's miss, and then he was going to ask her what she thought about today's events.

It's just that before he could speak, Lynn walked over first, ignoring the others, and pulled him and said, "Ed, I just had a new idea with Luo Yu, and I was about to look for you, but I didn't expect you to arrive." ”

Fang Yu looked at this person a little speechlessly. He hadn't noticed this when he had fought Nicol Bolas on the Spire of Elffindor - it turned out that this guy was an alchemist maniac.

In the eyes of the other party, it seems that there are only two things: alchemy and the artisan competition, and the rest of the remnants that have nothing to do with it should be directly turned into air in the eyes of the other party—or worse than air, because in Aitalia, the atmospheric elements can also participate in the alchemy reaction.

Fang Yu sighed, knowing that if he didn't ask what the other party's idea was, he didn't want to do anything else today. He could only cast an apologetic look at Sylvid, but the ship's sensitive, Miss Officer, was sensible and only smiled and nodded to him.

"Okay, what's the idea?"

"Ed, the so-called legacy of the Noumerin Elves is actually elven alchemy, right?"

"I've seen your elven alchemy, and I've also seen Luo Lin's, and found that their essence is the same, in fact, they all use modern alchemy to express the ancient alchemy array. And I've thought about the difference, it's actually magic itself, right? ”

Fang Yu nodded. Alchemy was born in the time of Ethelin and invented by the spirits of Noumerin, and this is not a secret - the first lesson in the basics of alchemy is mentioned in the overview of the history of alchemy.

The original intention of the birth of alchemy was actually just a means to replenish the source of troops in order to fight against the dark dragon in the catastrophe that the second evil star 'Green' befell in the world.

As we all know, the Noumerin Elves are good at mastering extraordinary spells, but this does not mean that every Noumerin Elf is a Grand Arcanist (the title of the caster in the age of magic is about the same as the current Grand Magister), this is the same as today, humans are recognized to be good at magic techniques, but not everyone is an alchemist.

In that great war, the Grand Arcanists, who were always on the front lines of the battle, were often the most attritional. The Noumerin Elves are a long-lived race, but reproduction is not their forte, and the number of Grand Arcanists is even smaller in the limited population.

As the war progresses, it will become increasingly difficult for the elves to bear the toll of the war with the Dark Dragons. In this way, alchemy was born for its inevitable reasons.

The earliest alchemy was to give the 'ordinary elves' among the Numerin elves the opportunity to go to the battlefield to fight against the dark dragons. At the end of the war, alchemy gradually diverged into two routes - one went to the high-end, seeking ways to supplement the high-end combat power of the elves.

The other is aimed at the general public, and begins to draw humans, gnomes, and halflings into this war that is closely related to the fate of the continent.

The former is called the giant structure technology, and later became the predecessor of the dragon knight technology, and the purpose of its existence is to make the very rare and highest-end combat power among the Numerin elves, the Sky Knight, universal. And the main opponent of the Sky Knight in the war is actually the Dark Dragon itself.

Therefore, after the dragon knight came into being, it also got its name, but the dark dragon has passed, and the dragon knight technology has been further promoted by mortal craftsmen thousands of years later, and has now become the dome of power in the human world.

also bid farewell to the era in which it was born, and was specially given the historical destiny -

The latter was the beginning of the Noumerin Elves teaching magic to humans, gnomes, and halflings, and the related techniques were transformed into a technical specification that is still in use today, the magic furnace, through the hands of the elven alchemist Eddard.

The invention of this alchemical work can even be said to be the starting point of the modern Alchemical civilization of Aitaria in the ten centuries since. After that, the technical routes of the dragon knight and the magic furnace went to the same end, and they were all turned into mortals.

This is the history of alchemy.

But the history of Noumerin Elven Alchemy is different.

Ancient alchemy was to allow more 'ordinary elves' in the Numerin elves to become expendable troops in the 'Dragon War', but the so-called 'ordinary' here is very different from ordinary people's cognition. Magic is prevalent in the society of the Noumerin Elves, not every Noumerin Elf is a Grand Arcanist, but almost every Noumerin Elf can do magic, but the amount of magic is different.

Therefore, the foundation of ancient alchemy is based on magical civilization, which is the biggest difference between it and modern alchemy.

Because of the use of magic, the alchemists of the Noumerin Elves can do many things that modern alchemists can't. Because they have mastered many spells that gather elements and screen materials, they can be used in conjunction with alchemy.

Humans, as a non-magical race, do not have these benefits. Therefore, in order for alchemy to spread to the human world, mortal craftsmen have established a new system in the course of centuries of history, putting aside many of the techniques of the original Noumerin elves to create a contemporary alchemy that is more suitable for human beings.

But the ancient alchemy studied by the Silver Tower was the opposite. Borrowing a more robust contemporary alchemy system, the magic furnace is used to simulate the spells used in ancient alchemy to recreate the ancient alchemy of the Numerin elves.

The jury is still out on which of the two is better or worse.

The 'alchemical magic' of the Noumerin Elves was very efficient, but the alchemy of their time was very rudimentary, and it could not be compared to the modern alchemy of today, which was well-organized and subdivided into thousands of species.

But once the two are combined, they can shine amazingly, just like Fang Yuan's previous performance in the continental league. This is also the original meaning of Lynn's sentence - using the magic provided by modern alchemy and magic furnaces, so that human beings, a 'non-magical race', can also simulate the ancient alchemy that can only be mastered by the magic race of ancient generations.

But this is an obvious thing, when he taught Dill, Cui Yu and Yisi's group, Lynn also came to watch every day, Fang Yu didn't believe that this guy who had experience in the hall of a thousand doors would not be able to see the doorway here. He didn't know what the other party meant by bringing up this concept again at this time.

But Lynn said a little excitedly: "This is ancient alchemy, but have you ever wondered, Ed, how was the ancient Noumerin Elf Battle Craftsman?" ”

Fang Yu was stunned.

But the other party is obviously not the kind of person who can hide his words. Lynn didn't sell it, and said directly: "Contemporary alchemists and combat craftsmen actually have something in common, and you have also participated in the continental league, so you should know that the operation of craftsmen in the magic furnace is actually similar to the operation of flexible construction. Therefore, we can fully deduce that there should be no fundamental difference between ancient alchemy and ancient combat craftsmen. ”

He seemed a little excited, so much so that his voice was a little out of tune: "Ed, the essential difference between the alchemists of ancient times and today's alchemy is nothing more than the presence or absence of magic. In the same way, is it true that the battle craftsmen of ancient times are the same as those of today? ”

Fang Yu couldn't help but really froze for a moment, he had never thought about it in this direction, but suddenly realized that it seemed to make some sense. But it's not as simple as one plus one equals two, plus one equals three.

He only thought about it for a moment, and then found out the problem: "You don't want to draw a gourd in the same way, use the alchemy array to simulate ancient spells, and then control the flexible construction, right?" ”

Fang Yu only thought about the operability of this, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Using the same method to perform some simple alchemy operations, even he felt a little difficult to really translate into more complex and flexible construction controls.

He couldn't imagine the inhuman difficulty it was.

Fortunately, although Lynn was thinking in a straight line, he was not so much that he would hit a wall in front of him, he shook his head and said: "It is difficult for the craftsman itself to reach this step, but I think the reason why it is difficult for the craftsman is because it is difficult to control spells, after all, we are alchemists, not arcanists." But I guess the Arcanist is not much different from today's Magus and Elementals, so we just need to find someone who can both magic and elemental spells, and can manipulate flexible constructs to experiment. ”

Fang Yu subconsciously looked at Luo Yu on the side.

A thought immediately crossed his mind, remembering the strange black clockwork goblins he had seen in the Hall of a Thousand Gates, radiating beams of light. At first, he thought that those things were just imaginations that existed in a fantasy world, but when he saw a physical object in Rollin's hands, he realized that those 'dark stars' might have existed in history.

And at this moment, Lynn's words gave him a wake-up call, and he couldn't help but wonder if those 'pitch-black stars' could be the flexible configurations used by the ancient Noumerin elves.

The alchemy of the ancient Noumerin elves is on par with the alchemy of contemporary mortals, and each has its own merits, but judging from those 'pitch-black stars', the battle craftsmen of the ancient Noumerin elves seem to be much more powerful than the contemporary battle craftsmen.

This may be due to the fact that magic itself is more aggressive.

The person Lynn is looking for, Luo Yu is undoubtedly such a ready-made candidate. Fang Yu couldn't help but feel a little coincidental, and he even wondered if this would be the path Luo Yu had been looking for.

Obviously, Luo Yu was not unmoved when he heard Lynn's proposal. Fang Yu looked at the other party, and he could clearly see this young man from Tapolis, with a slight light flashing in his eyes. Although he has been transferred to an elemental envoy, the other party has never given up on his dream of becoming a combat craftsman.

However, there is still a gap between dreams and reality.

Fang Yu also asked Lynn how sure he was of this guess, and the other party said bluntly, it was just an idea. No one can say how long it will take a new technology to go from idea to reality.

It's possible to do it overnight and see results very quickly.

But those long projects, like the Silver Tower's research on the fairy dragon knights, may take hundreds of years, and eventually have to face failure.

However, there is one hope, which is better than no hope, Fang Yu looked at Luo Yu, and could only wish that the other party could find this path of his own.

He asked Lynn about Rollin again, and the other party had become acquainted with Rollin in Idus, and the two had always had a good relationship, and after Rollin defected, it also caused him a lot of trouble. Not to mention the investigation of the Elffindor Council, there have been many rumors circulating in the Alliance, and the eyes of suspicion inevitably fall on this young man.

But the latter didn't care much about it, as if it didn't matter anything more than the slander he was concerned about.

Regarding Fang Yuan's concern, Lynn only shook his head: "I believe that Luo Lin has a hard time, a person who is so outstanding in alchemy will never be willing to fall like this." ”

For this kind of words, Fang Yu could only roll his eyes. He also likes alchemy, but it has not yet reached the point where it is necessary to distinguish between right and wrong for the sake of alchemy, if alchemy is a good person, then the master of potions, Depra, must be the number one good person in the sky.

After sending the alchemist away in a few words, he finally had a chance to speak to Sylvid—only then the box came straight over with a wine glass, as if to talk to him. Fang Yu really couldn't stand these people, and hurriedly glared at the other party first:

"Go away!"

The box stood there in surprise and inexplicably, he was just going to go to the bathroom - but after thinking about it for a while, he walked aside silently and aggrievedly.

Sylvade watched the scene and smiled.

However, she looked at her captain and whispered, "Captain wants to ask me what I think of the current Elffindor Council?" ”

Fang Yu nodded, this was exactly what he meant.

Sylvid thought for a moment before replying, "Although the Elphin Council is different from what it used to be, after Nicol Bolas, the disagreement between the councils has become more and more obvious to the left, and it can be seen that the Super Athletic Alliance's separation of the Electors from the Southern Alliance has been quite effective—in Aitalia, the Natives are much more divided than the Electors. But the Rose Workshop is still a big help for the captain, and the captain really thinks about it, does he want to make such a decision? “

Fang Yu shook his head. He had actually discussed it with everyone before, but at the moment he still wanted to ask Sylvid's own opinion: "What do you think?" ”

The ship's master turned her eyes, but asked rhetorically, "What does the captain think?" ”

"I don't want to get involved in the whirlpool of the South, the big cat people are right, we don't want to do this," Fang Yu replied, "What's more, even if I get the inheritance of the Rose Workshop, I will only be the less important party in the council, not to mention the Count of Cillin-Sibicca above." ”

He whispered, "What should I do if they make another decision against you?" Except for Mr. Ender, I can't trust them, the master craftsmen are simple-minded, but what about the nobles of the southern realm behind them? I've asked the teacher before, and I learned that the Elpendor Council betrayed you and the Alberts once......"

"I'm not good at politics, and I don't need to sway around in it, which goes against my original intention." He looked earnestly at the girl's shallow eyes, and replied, "Sylvide, I will help you in my own way, instead of relying on these external forces—not to mention that they may not be reliable in the end. ”

"Is that the captain's answer?"

"Yes."

Sylvid only smiled softly, "The captain's opinion is my opinion, in fact, I didn't say it a long time ago." ”

She looked into the hall and replied, "But the captain doesn't care about the Rose Workshop, but the Fairy Heart is the brainchild of my father and grandfather, and staying in the council is only cheaper for outsiders." We're still going to have to figure out how to get it. ”

Fang Yu bowed his head slightly.

He actually had a plan in mind.
