"Brother Ed, look over there, there's a ship!"

Surrounded by a tranquil mountain col, the Golden Bay anchorage looks up with towering cliffs and a gloomy snowline – the northern branch of the Green Dragon Range.

The storm stopped, and the wind howled through the maple groves before subsided, leaving only a hint of coolness, mingling with the leaves of the rain curtain.

The Berio slowly sailed past a bay of clouds, and in the midst of the azure exclamation, a small brig appeared behind the col.

The golden hull, the red side, hidden behind a maple grove, folded its sails and moored quietly.

A typical winged airship, but without the flag of the Navy, presumably the property of the Adventure Group or Guild.

In fact, Fang Plover had already seen the coat of arms on the stern, an insignia he had not seen. "It's a guild crest, I haven't heard of it," Kita whispered to him, standing on the side of the ship, "probably a guild native to Fenris Island." ”

Fang Yu knew that this little girl had studied the guild forces of Kalin-Ishurian and even Aitalia, at least better than he did.

His main knowledge was in the second world, and in the first world, even if it was a branch of the ten major guilds like the Spear of the Silver Forest, he actually knew very little.

"It's quite remarkable that a small local guild can have a ship like this." Tianlan lay on the side of the boat and exclaimed: "At least it's quite rich." ”

"It's the Rainhearer's Guild, the boat was rented by them, and it's not their family's boat, it's shared with the other three small guilds," Princess Brian's voice came from behind everyone, and Fang Yu turned around just in time to see the elf lady coming up from under the cabin. She continued: "They came here for the twice-a-year trainee parade, which is about the right time. ”

"Princess, sister, why do you know so well?" Sky Blue was a little surprised.

"I've been here twice, and the biggest guild here is a Semi-Elective organization called the Blood Oath, and I've heard that they have some connection to the Jeffrey Redcoats, you should know?"

Kita nodded, and Fang Yuan frowned, he heard that the Jeffrey Redcoats instinctively classified this blood oath into the category of cold reputation.

But Sky Blue's focus is obviously different from the others: "I see, those people in the community said that you lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests after the Battle of Byrne, and it turns out that those guys are liars, so I thought you never left the Elven Court after that, Sister Brian." ”

Princess Brian was a little amused when she heard this, and walked over and patted her little brain: "Do you think I'm squatting at home?" ”

"Wow, you even know that word!"

The elven princess smiled generously: "As a 'hero' in your mouth, I have to know something about you, for example, Fuli, if you become a little villain one day, then be careful." ”

"Hee-hee," Sky Blue couldn't help but giggle as Brian tickled her neck, and shook her head busily while shrinking her neck to avoid the other party's claws, "No, no." ”

Fang Yu naturally glanced at Princess Brian with some surprise, and he found that whether it was Sylvide, Miss Tata, or Princess Brian, their understanding of earthlings was not inferior to that of earthlings in this world.

He used to think that the people of this world were ignorant, but now it seems to be nothing more than wishful thinking on his part.

There is no shortage of people of insight in any world, and certainly of those who are truly ignorant, and it is no wonder that the Elect believe that the two worlds should further understand each other, rather than continue to be suspicious of each other.

So what does it mean to the Earth, or to Aitalia, what does it mean to each other?

Fang Yu couldn't help but think of the classic question above the community again.

What exactly is Aitalia?

yes, what does this world really mean? Why does it exist, and what role does the Earth play in relation to it?

With this haphazard thought, the Berio had slowly sailed into the anchorage, and because it was a boat-type floating ship and carrying a belly of cargo, it was flying at a lower altitude than the brig that was quietly moored behind the maple grove.

The two ships were relatively staggered in different airspace, and out of courtesy, the Berio sent a simple greeting to each other in the language of lights, and after a few minutes, the stern lights on the ship began to flicker.

The response was a similar greeting.

Sylvid whispered to him that if the weather was good, the airships of this day and age would generally communicate more with each other in flag language - and this is one of the technologies that has been passed down from Earth, but it has been improved by localization.

But that was the end of the exchange between the two ships.

The vast sea of Aitaria makes it difficult for the regime on land to exercise effective jurisdiction over the vast sea and air, which is filled with all kinds of armed groups, in addition to pirates or pirates, privateer fleets, and some armed merchant ships walking in the gray field, which may tear down their flags and do similar things to the former.

Therefore, strange ships generally keep a safe distance above the empty sea, and no one will cross this red line, even if they are anchored in the same anchorage, and they will not be bored.

What's more, the anchorage of Jinwan is not small, and the Berio found a relatively open bay to anchor, because there is no wing-type airship with sufficient lift, and it is afraid that it will run aground because it is too close to the edge of the continent and the lift is insufficient, so it is still the same as last time, and the personnel and goods are transported to land by the boats on board.

Luo Yu and Sky Blue had to wait to board the boat with Mr. Greystone, so Fang Yu was the first to board the dinghy, and in addition to the first batch of sailors to log in, he was joined by Attila, Sylvide's master and servant, and Kita.

Miss Elf has been bedridden for several days, and although her injuries have healed, her face is still a little pale, but her mood seems to have come out of the gloom of a few days ago, with the kind of quiet smile that she could often see between her eyebrows and eyes.

She smiled and nodded to Fang Yuan, signaling that he didn't have to worry too much about himself.

"Don't be pushy, Miss Attila, I'll give you Sylvid and I help you when we get off the ship." Fang Yu said with concern.

Miss Elf didn't refuse, and nodded slightly.

"Thank you, Eddard."

Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, convinced that the other party should have come out of his depressed state.

In fact, this is one of the reasons why they plan to go overland, otherwise if Attila is not healed, they will naturally have to wait here.

The dinghy sailed into a river bay under the control of the sailors - although the dinghy was also equipped with a Geirin generator, after all, the mana reserves were limited, and it was impossible to stay in the air for a long time, so it was a natural choice to go from air to water.

Of course, it's not impossible to land directly on land, but in that case, it will be a little troublesome to take off again.

After everyone entered the bay, the original control of the magic engine on the boat was no longer applicable, so the sailors took out the oars they had prepared and rowed up the river, and it was not long before they found a safe camp in the depths of the bay.

It's just that when they went ashore, everyone encountered a little trouble.

Due to the torrential rains, the water level of the river bay also soared, and the suitable landing site was submerged, and the rushing water also caused difficulties, so that the sailors were unsuccessful in making several attempts to reach the beach.

The boatswain who led the group was sweating profusely, and could not help turning back to the noble maiden and saying, "Miss Sylwell, why don't we go south in another place, for the river here is too turbulent, and I am afraid that something will go wrong." ”

"To the south, the ground is higher," replied Sylved calmly, "I have carefully observed it in the heavens before, and the river behind it is not very wide, but I am afraid that the same problem will arise again." ”

After that, she turned her head and looked at Fang Yuan: "Why don't the captain think of a way?" ”

The eyes of the sailors couldn't help but sweep in this direction, except for the boatswain, who was still a little restrained, and most of the others looked at them with distrust.

Among the people on the boat who they had seen the most these days, Fang Ou was naturally this noble lady who had been helping in the chart room.

And the navigator is basically a quasi-officer at sea, and Sylvid has a very good personal relationship with Princess Brian, and she is a great beauty, so the sailors naturally trust her more.

As for Fang Yuan, he was in his room all day long, or he was in the activity room at two o'clock and one line, and he spent less time outside than the lion and Luo Yu, and most of them probably forgot that there was such a person on the ship.

When I saw it at first glance today, I was probably shocked, why did a big living person suddenly come out of the ship. Hearing Sylvid call such a half-old boy captain and say that he might have a way, everyone instinctively didn't believe it.

But Fang Yu didn't care.

Or rather, he was actually observing the distance from the dinghy to the shore at the beginning, and didn't notice the eyes of the others at all, and only after listening to Sylvid's question did he react and nodded:

"Okay, I'll try."

"Wait a minute," said the boatswain, who stopped him, and pulled out an airbag, in fact, of an inflated long-tailed spearstor, which the native sailors of Aitaria had long used as a lifebuoy: "Take this, the current is too strong, the dinghy is a little unstable, and it is safer." ”

Although this man had good intentions, the meaning of his words was that he was worried that the half-grown boy would fall into the river recklessly.

Fang Yu glanced at him, but he could feel the other party's kindness, but he just shook his head and said, "No need, take this thing to block your hands and feet." ”

"I think you'd better take it, boy," one of the sailors sneered, "or we won't be able to save you if you fall into the water." ”

As soon as he said this, the sailors couldn't help but chuckle, obviously seeing the same thing.

It's just that Fang Yu was slightly stunned and before he could say anything, Sylvid beside him frowned and didn't stand up, looked at the sailor and said coldly: "Little Finger, do you have any dissatisfaction with my proposal?" ”

The man was startled, obviously not expecting Sylvid to stand up for Fang Yuan, and he stammered, "Miss Sylvide...... No, I'm just worried about this kid......"

Sylvid raised her eyebrows, and her light blue eyes were more serious than ever: "This 'kid' in your mouth, he is my captain, the official alchemist of the Elpahim Artisan Association, the hero of Dorifin, who are you, Little Finger, a sailor?" ”

Little Finger's face turned red, he lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, it's Mr. Ed, I made a slip of the tongue ......"

Seeing the other party's embarrassed appearance, Fang Yu was also a little unbearable, this sailor actually didn't say anything big, and they didn't know who he was, so it was natural to suspect him.

He quietly tugged at Lasilved's sleeve, but the noble lady took his hand lightly and winked back at him playfully.

The meaning is very clear -

"Look at me."

She turned her head again and straightened her face—Fang Yu had never seen her face covered with frost, and she couldn't help but be faintly stunned.

And the aristocratic lady had a straight face, as if she hadn't heard the words of the little finger, and said coldly: "On the ship, what is the punishment for disobeying the superiors?" ”

When the little finger heard this, his face couldn't help but change, and his body shook as if he was shaking chaff when he stood there.

The boatswain was startled, and couldn't help but say, "Miss Sylvede......"

But Sylvester didn't even look at him, looking unmoved.

But Fang Yu didn't know what this noble lady meant when he saw this, so he sighed and whispered, "Sylvide, forget it." ”

Sylvid looked back, looked at him with a smile, and nodded slightly.

Then he turned around and looked at his pale little finger again, and said, "Mr. Ed has interceded for you, see?" I will go back to the ship and confinement for three days, and I will inform Her Royal Highness and the captain about this matter, understand? ”

The sailor named Little Finger raised his head in despair, and nodded to Fang Yu profusely in sweat: "Thank you, Mr. Ed, thank you, Miss Sylvide, I understand, I understand!" ”

Fang Yu couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

But Sylvid saw his small movements, and whispered, "Captain, you will be the captain of the ship in the future, and you must have such majesty. When we have a ship, it can't be just the people in the team, but also the sailors on board, do you want to still have them look down on you because of your age? ”

"But......" Fang Yu didn't actually understand what she did, it's just that he had seen such a strict hierarchy there before, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Captain, I know in my heart that you are a good man, and everyone knows it, and all the people who have happened in Doriffana must know this. But in the future there will be a lot of people on board, and not everyone will have the opportunity to learn about all this, will they? ”

Sylvid whispered in his ear, "The rules on the ship of Aitalia have been accumulated from generation to generation, and every rule has its meaning, I will try to help you, but you must also set an example yourself." ”

Fang Yu couldn't help but glance at her with some surprise when he heard this, and nodded slightly.

And it has to be said.

After such an episode, the sailors looked at him very differently, and their eyes were a little more awe-inspiring. Although there are more or less some people who feel that this person relies on women, at least they dare not show anything on the face.

The only side effect was probably that the boatswain's perception of Fang Yu deteriorated greatly, and he decided not to mention anything about the airbag, and withdrew it and watched coldly from the sidelines, with the intention of waiting for him to be embarrassed.

Fang Yu didn't say much when he saw this, but the unexpected scene on the small boat was indeed more or less unexpected to him.

But Sylvid's paving the way for him, although he was a little moved, didn't feel that necessary.

In fact, he is not as ignorant as the aristocratic girl imagined, but he has his own choice.

Thinking of this, he turned around, gently pulled down his goggles, and stretched out his right hand to point to a maple tree on the bank of the river.

Before everyone could react, the metal glove on Fang Yuan's hand suddenly spewed out a stream of air, and the glove flew out with a bang, flying out diagonally with a metal long rope, spanning a distance of nearly twenty meters.

Then Fang Yu shook his hand, and the front end of the glove was actually transformed into a special flexible structure by him, and he also held it accordingly at his command.

There was a soft click, and the metal glove was firmly grasped on an arm-thick tree trunk.

Fang Yu tugged back, the metal rope stiffened violently, and the metal winch hidden in the back half of the gauntlet made a 'hum-' sound driven by the magic furnace, and began to retract the rope backwards.

Driven by this force, the dinghy came to a halt, and then the bow of the boat pointed in that direction.

When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't help but be stunned, and the sailor named Little Finger changed his face even more - seeing this, wouldn't these people not understand Fang Yuan's identity.

Combat Artisan –

The status of the official alchemist in the kingdom is not low, and the battle craftsman, as the best of them, is even more impressive. Can't get along with a combat craftsman, isn't that a joke?

But such a young combat craftsman was also beyond everyone's expectations.

Everyone was still in a daze, but they heard Fang Yu shouting: "What are you doing in a daze!" Boating! ”

This time, there was no longer a need for the boatswain's orders, nor for Sylvid to remind them, and the sailors suddenly realized, glanced at Fang Ou with respect and awe, and hurriedly picked up the oars in their hands and set off.

And the sailor before was even more pale, as if he had been punched in the face, and his expression was ugly, and his eyebrows and eyes were huddled.

But at this time, the other people looked at him with little sympathy, but a little schadenfreude-

In fact, even the boatswain glanced at Fang Yu with some disbelief, and only then did he fully understand why Miss Sylvede called this young man captain.

But Fang Yu didn't care about this, he only looked at the pale guy, and said, "What is Your Excellency doing in a daze, why don't you row?" ”

The sailor shuddered suddenly, looked at him and stammered, "Mr. War, Battle, Craftsman, I ......"

"I asked you to row, didn't you hear?" Fang Yu raised his tone: "Do you want everyone to wait for you?" ”

"But I ......"

"It's nothing," Fang Yu said loudly, "If you don't want to be confined for a week, hurry up and pick up your oars for me." ”

The sailor was slightly stunned, as if it took a while to realize what Fang Yu meant, and he glanced at Fang Yu in disbelief and gratitude: "First, sir, what do you ......mean?"

"Huh?" Fang Yu was stunned: "I didn't understand enough. ”

"Understand, understand, I understand, sir!" The sailor was almost crying, and hurried to pick up his oars.

"Be careful, boy," Fang Yu couldn't help but shake his head when he saw his clumsy appearance, and returned the original words: "Don't forget what you said, if you accidentally fall into the water, everyone present will not be able to save you." ”

As soon as he said this, everyone didn't understand what he meant, and the atmosphere on the ship was suddenly relaxed.

The sailors looked at each other, and some even chuckled and quipped the fellow, "Hear me, little finger, look at your shameful appearance." ”

Little Finger dared to refute, and could only laugh awkwardly.

Fang Yu turned his head at this time, and looked at Sylvide, and his eyes were inevitably full of young people's buying colors. Sylvide looked at this guy, angry and funny in her heart, and couldn't help but shake her head, but she couldn't help but smile.

"Is the captain thinking of me demonstrating?" She asked softly.

"Huh?" Fang Yu opened his mouth wide: "Is that how you understand?" ”

Sylvia chuckled, "Well, the captain is doing well, at least much better than Sylvid expected." ”

"Hey!" Fang Yu scratched his head and smiled, it was obvious that he was very comfortable to be recognized by the aristocratic girl who had always behaved so well.
