"Your Excellency the Consul, Lord Marquis."

Argyle had heard voices coming from behind the front door as soon as he entered the hall.

If you still remember this person, you will definitely remember his identity, His Excellency the Grand Master of the Silverwind Knights of Elpahim. Since the failure to capture Fang Yuan, the people on the side of the Chosen One have surprisingly not blamed him and his men too much, which is very different from the person in power he perceived.

Most of the rulers were serious and mean-spirited, even if they were disguised as sanctimonious, which made the Sir rather unaccustomed, and even faintly dismissive, that the Chosen One was no more than that. But subconsciously, he actually likes this way of cooperation, but he rarely mentions it to outsiders.

However, it is rumored that it is good that he didn't catch that kid, otherwise Dorifin would have one less hero. The poet spread the news all over the North, making him a little discouraged, as if he were a villain, and shouldn't the affairs of Doriffin also be handled by the Knights?

He was a little unimpressed by this-

Argyll pressed his sword into the hall, and now only a few centuries after the War of the Giants, Kaurin-Eshurian took pride in martial arts, especially among the nobles, and the sword salute had long become a common etiquette among knights.

But only among the knights.

However, in this hall, the specially set Mystery Lock Barrier forbade the magic guide from taking effect, so the sword in his hand was just a ritual weapon. Argyle walked through the gate and met the young Marquis of Grey, dressed in a silver embroidered robe, with beautiful curly hair and sideburns, and a thick beard, leaning on a chair with one hand, listening to the narration with his head tilted slightly.

He shone with the elegance and elegance that characterised the new dynasty, and the young king was known to be fond of such 'art'. Elpahim had changed two or three consuls in the last six months, and the original Count of Sandor quickly lost power, and was later replaced by an 'old' nobleman who maintained the city for several months, until the Marquis arrived.

The Marquis was not originally an important person, but because he was a diehard loyalist on the Prime Minister's side, he was able to obtain the position he is today.

Argyle looked down on this, but was a little envious.

He grasped the hilt of his sword and saluted him with knightly etiquette.

"You've come just in time, Argyll," the marquis looked up, swaying his massive body, and gesturing his chin, "and it is said that you value credibility more than life, and that you are a reliable and honest knight, and I have a question for you. Is that thing really as useful as the temple says? ”

Argyll was disdainful, but did not dare to slack off, as the political strife in the city had intensified since the prince's arrival in Elpahim, as evidenced by the fact that the young king's trusted Earl Sandor was soon unlucky.

He lowered his head and replied, "It may not be as useful as it thinks, but it can always be reassuring, and the people in this city need a psychological sustenance to ward off their fear of the Dragon Witch." ”

"Oh," the Marquis of Grey nodded with satisfaction, as if suddenly, "I haven't asked yet, how is our poor Lenoen?" ”

"He is very good, my lord, it is their duty to sacrifice their lives for their country. He was recuperated in the Knights with the other attackers, and was given a special commendation, along with several of our knights," he paused, "and some of the Chosen One, who were also involved in the escort. ”

"Oh, I know that."

"My lord, I have heard that the Chosen are from a guild called the Knights of the Oak of Tapolis, and they have been treated unfairly, and I hope you can get your way."

"Okay, I see, Argyle." The Marquis of Grey seemed a little uninterested.

Argyle glanced at the other party, knowing that the other party did not want to offend the Crowclaw Temple, and did not force it anymore. The reason why he mentioned it like this was not because of the sense of justice in his heart, but because the people over there demanded something from him.

But it really can't be done, it's nothing remarkable, these people don't matter.

"Argyle," said the Marquis of Grey again, "let's talk about the recent events, the ritual, I fear the Templars will object. Of course, I'm pretty relieved to have that thing in the Knights, I can trust you as a person, but-"

The temple he was talking about was naturally the temple of Marlan and Ameya, and the marquis writhed a little uneasily in his seat.

He still can't forget what happened not long ago, and the three pillars of light that rushed to the sky seem to be still vivid in his mind today. He didn't mind meddling in the situation in the north, but that didn't mean he wasn't afraid of the majesty of the gods, in fact, he was more afraid of inadvertently stepping into some forbidden areas that he shouldn't have set foot in.

On this battlefield, it is easy to be treated as an inconsequential pawn or cannon fodder.

Or to put it simply, he actually has some regrets in his heart.

Argyle didn't move on the surface, but he had already scolded in his heart, the other party must not offend the three goddesses, and want to let himself carry this responsibility? But who didn't know that the three goddesses were not easy to mess with, he pressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and replied: "If the Marquis thinks that this point in time is too sensitive, you can postpone this matter for a while." ”

"I understand, Argyll," the Marquis of Grey sighed, "but that goddamn, reckless bastard in Gura Harbor to the north has already decided to proceed with that ritual, and what will the people think of us if word spreads?" ”

"It's up to you, not me, who boasted about Haikou, and who should be responsible for it now. And the Knights have already paid the price," Argyle felt a little disdainful in his heart, this was nothing more than wanting to take advantage of the benefits of both ends, "But when you promised the Ravental Sanctuary and those in the Alliance, you didn't think about today's situation?" ”

Of course, he only said these words in his heart.

On the surface, he still pretended to empathize, and Argyle replied, "My lord, I still have something to say. At least to this day, the three goddesses Marlan and Milera have not expressed any attitude on this matter, and perhaps their followers are only opposed to the Grey Knight's aggressiveness in the North. ”

"Really?" The Marquis of Gray Grace was a little surprised.

"Absolutely."

The Marquis of Grey seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but on the surface he became serious, and he said quietly, "Alright, Argyll, that thing will be handed over to your Knights for safekeeping, waiting for further news from the Ravental Temple." If all this is successful, I will give you the first credit, and perhaps we will get the opportunity to meet the king. ”

Argyll had no interest in the so-called feats, for he knew that this man would certainly put his own merits ahead of everyone, leaving them with nothing more than scraps. Fortunately, he didn't care, he only relied on his own Silverwind Knights, but if there was a chance to meet the king, it would make him feel a little excited.

He nodded slightly.

Marquis Gray directly skipped this topic, and suddenly spoke again: "Argyll, how is that person?" ”

Argyle felt a stirring in his heart, and he reacted immediately, and he quickly shook his head: "My lord, you can't ask me about this, the knights are not monitoring that adult." You can ask Lord Finone, who is in charge of Elpahin's guards, and perhaps he can give you an accurate answer. ”

The Marquis of Grey was silent for a moment, narrowing his eyes before finally nodding his head in satisfaction.

However, both of them scolded in their hearts, and the other party was an old fox.

……

Sky Blue soon lost the heart to pay attention to anything else.

Like what the fire-breathing horned lizard is all about.

The entire Seven Seas Traveler's hull seemed to resonate, comparable to the last time they crossed the wind elemental layer, every plank, every screw was groaning, squeaking, 'snapping', and a magic storage crystal cracked on top of the magic engine.

"I'm going to bump into it——!a

Every lever on the Wizard Engine shook violently, and she had to pull it down with all the strength of her body, all the output channels were opened to the maximum, and the shield device was overloaded, but the descent of the wind boat was still accelerating, and the numbers on the altimeter were beating like crazy.

Because of her weightlessness, her azure hair flew up one by one, and for a moment she felt that the world was still, and those small things that had been placed on the dashboard flew up one by one, suspended in mid-air. And the horned lizard, whirling past her, blinked its membranous eyes, and stared at her with its dark pupils.

On the deck, Baggins was frowning at the wind on the deck and the work of each sail, listening intently to the sound coming from the side of the ship, as if judging the air flow below.

Tang Xin and Xie Si Ta grabbed a cable by themselves, the latter was fine, and the former's green tendons bloomed from his white wrists.

The former gritted his silver teeth, but still dragged an inch forward for the immense power, the priest of Mirera has never been a profession known for its strength, let alone a professional sailor.

Sylvid pushed open the door and walked out, looked at the situation on the deck, rolled up his sleeves and walked over, stretched out his hand from behind Tang Xin, and helped the other party hold the rope. Tang Xin was slightly stunned, felt the pressure on his hands loosen, and turned around to see the ship's officer behind her.

"Why did you come out, Miss Sylwell, shouldn't you stay down and command?" She asked in a somewhat unkind tone.

"Then I won't be needed at the bottom," replied Sylvede, "don't look at me like this, for I had sailed with my father as a child, and many seasoned sailors may not have the same knowledge of the sea and the sailboats as I do." ”

Tang Xin couldn't help but look at the latter with some surprise.

As soon as her hand loosened, the two of them were almost dragged forward by the passing mast, and then hurriedly pulled hard to regain the cable. Then she turned around and asked, "Did you ever get on a boat as a child, and you left Kaurin-Ishurian?" ”

"I've been to many places before I fostered that noble lady," Sylvid nodded, "far further than we have now, I've been to the Empire and the Hill of the Giant Trees, I've seen the sea of clouds there, and I've even seen the sailors fighting. My mother wanted me to be a lady, but my father always wanted me to inherit his mantle. ”

Tang Xin couldn't help but be fascinated when she heard it, as a girl living in modern society, she had rarely heard of such a bizarre and unimaginable childhood. She seemed to have forgotten her relationship with the other party for a while, and couldn't help but ask, "What about you, what do you think?" ”

"My father was a man who was born for Kukai, and I am Kukai's daughter," Sylved replied, "and I set out on this path to find him, not only to find his whereabouts, but more importantly to follow the same path as him." The person who begged for a living on the empty sea ended up dying in this sea of clouds, which is a thing that has no regrets, and even if I don't find him, I will not regret it. ”

"I can't understand it."

"Yes, it is rare for a down-to-earth person to understand a wanderer like a man of the sea," Sylvid took two steps back and wrapped it around the rigging, smiling, "but some people are different, they are keen to take risks, they are keen to go to the unknown, and that is not just because of the impulsive blood in their bones, but because of people's exploration of the world. ”

"You mean my cousin?"

"Ed, he's a different kind of person."

"I don't think so."

Sylvide looked at her with a smile, "This is exactly where you are happy. ”

Tang Xin couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

She was silent for a moment before lowering her eyelashes, which were as slender as feathers, and replied, "If you have the chance, Miss Sylwell, I would like to hear your story." For the first time, she realized that there was something different about this girl she had always harbored these hostilities.

She said that the pigeon was different, but she was not so herself, and she was faintly jealous, because that was what she could not understand.

"Gladly." Sylvide replied with a smile.

The small ball of light on the deck was floating around, as if wondering what the sweaty fat man was doing in front of him.

But as everyone knows, its behavior has greatly aroused Luo Hao's dissatisfaction, in fact, when anything is close at hand, floating in front of your line of sight, interfering with your judgment, you must also feel very annoyed.

Especially this thing is still glowing, like a light bulb.

Luo Hao couldn't help but wave his hand, but the little thing seemed to be angry, and while dodging his hand, he flew around him, and after a while, Luo Hao was a little dizzy. Luo Yu on the side shook his head, stretched out a finger, and released a snow-white light.

The little thing felt the magic reaction, and immediately flew over, rubbing around Luo Yu's fingertips like a ball of cotton.

"The magician is so nice." Seeing this scene, Luo Hao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he pressed his hand on the raised control platform, and it took a lot of effort to bring back the more than ten sails of the wind boat. The Seven Seas Traveler was rapidly descending in altitude and was soon approaching the ground.

Luo Hao could already see the vast snow-capped land outside through the projection, the horizon was rising, and he had to concentrate on judging their location by the size of those cedars. But even so, it's still easy to make a visual misjudgment, and the sky blue is hysterically shouting over there-

It was as if the next moment the ship was going to crash.

"Luo Yu!" Luo Hao suddenly shouted.

The Elemental Envoy nodded, and put his hand on the console, both of them were laymen in controlling the windboat, half sailor and half combat craftsman, which combined was about a quarter of Miss Tata - if you didn't count the computing power.

At that moment, all the masts on the Seven Seas Traveler, stretched horizontally, and every cable were taut, and the half-open sails made a whirring sound—on the deck, Sylvide, Tang Xin, and Baggins all looked up and watched the sails work.

Only the maid lady, somewhat indifferent to this.

However, more than a dozen sails were perfectly adjusted at the last minute, and it was even more fortunate that they did not encounter any complicated air whirlpools or shear winds along the way, although the process was a little thrilling, but they finally 'landed' safely.

An open valley appeared in front of them, and the speed at which the wind ships began to descend to altitude, and after they passed through the contact layer of the wind elemental surface, the voyage began to become stable, and the altimeter did not seem to be broken and turned up in yards.

The creaking of the ship's hull gradually subsided, and the sides of the valley were below the height of the ship's side, and the surrounding scenery became distinct, and in the magic pod, Sky Blue seemed to be lying on the dashboard as if she was paralyzed. She swore she would never want to do something like this a second time in her life.

When the fat man proposed, she should have been alert—

Luo Hao put his hand on the console, and only then did he turn off most of the systems on the Seven Seas Traveler, such as the shield device, which was already heavily overloaded, and half the power of the Guy generator. He turned around and said to Luo Yu, "Cast a spell." ”

Luo Yu nodded, and shot the crystal in his hand out of the open lower hatch, and the crystal exploded about sixty feet away, forming a hazy ice crystal mist.

Looking at the spreading mist, he cast three similar spells in turn from different directions—the water mist would refract light in the air, thus giving the obscured things behind them a transparent effect.

However, the ice fog will not last long, and will soon dissipate as the Seven Seas Traveler advances.

But the two of them estimated the time to be just right, and about a few minutes after the ice fog had formed, several clockwork elves whizzed over the valley, cruising around for a few moments, and then flying away after a few turns. In about a quarter of an hour, they encountered three waves of clockwork elves.

In the meantime, Luo Yu made up another round of spells, and then Luo Hao looked at the communication crystal - they were already quite close to each other at the moment.

In fact, after breaking out of the encirclement, Fang Ou, Momiji, and Sand Night continued to turn south for a while, and then reconciled with the resurrected people in the nearby temple.

According to information from various sources, the Descendants of Flor were well prepared, and they surrounded several temples at once, but luckily, they had the foresight to choose Roman, not Lady Ameya's temple resurrection.

This is a cruel trick on the other side, so that these people will not forget that it is not only Lady Ameya who has a shrine in the barren mountains and forests, but as a traveler's guide, Lady Dao has also spread her divine grace all over the continent.

It was about four or five o'clock in the morning, but it was late in the winter, and it was still dark in the mountains, but they waited for less than half an hour at the agreed place before they saw a shadow drifting in the distance—it was none other than the Seven Seas Traveler.

And seeing the sail shadow of the Seven Seas Traveler, Ai Xiaoxiao, who was sitting on the ground and was tired and half dead, finally couldn't help but get up and cheered, they were saved!

Although Fang Yu looked at the little girl a little speechlessly, he didn't understand what she was excited about.

The Seven Seas Traveler slowly approached, then lowered the ladder – a rare sight to see, as it was rare for a windboat of this size to get so close to the ground in a non-airport area. In general, they all go back and forth by dinghi.

Ai Xiaoxiao was the first to climb up, then Sha Ye and Xiaokong, and the fourth was him, Fang Yu had just climbed onto the side of the boat, only to find a hand handed over. Normally, it was Miss Ship Officer who was waiting for him here, but he didn't expect that the first person he saw this time would be Luo Yu.

The elemental envoy in the team looked at him with a slightly serious expression, and said, "Get on the boat, I'll show you something."

Fang Yu couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

……
