In the dark, Fang Yu knew that he couldn't pretend anymore, but he remembered what he had promised, and he didn't dare to turn around and explain for a while.

Sylvade snickered for a while, and then calmed down, but Fang Yu couldn't see it, her bright eyes were looking into the dark room, the clock was rattling, the glass closet was filled with childhood dreams, and the cabin was quiet again.

Only the muffled sound of the wind outside the window remained, and the branches of the trees whipped against the lattice, and a strange shadow fell like teeth and claws.

The two were back to back, and she asked, "Can't the captain sleep?" ”

"A little."

"What's a little bit?" Sylvide was kind of funny.

"It's a lot."

Fang Yu didn't know what he was answering. The dream of knowing Mu Shaoai only made him suffer from gains and losses, or perhaps it was in this unique environment that the boy could listen to his heartbeat.

But there's a softer heartbeat that entangles it.

The interval between each other's heartbeats is only a moment, but it is awe-inspiring. In the darkness, Fang Yu did not dare to go deep into his heart, because there, the girl had already occupied an important position, and as soon as he closed his eyes, scenes of getting along with Sylvid appeared in his mind.

For a moment, he had the courage to turn around and ask Miss Captain every question he had buried in his mind. But for a moment, he still maintained his previous movements, listening to his heartbeat in the darkness, the wind outside the window was lower, and the wolf howled in the distance.

But the world seemed to be cut off from the world, and his heart was dumbfounded, pregnant with two feelings: impatience and chagrin.

"Does the captain have anything to say to me?" Sylvide's soft voice came from the side of the quilt.

"I ......"

Fang Yu plucked up his courage: "...... Miss Sylwell, would you really like to be my ship's officer? ”

"Isn't it now?"

"No, I mean ......"

"Mean?"

He stammered, "I—I mean the eternal one, that ......."

Sylvide's eyes were shining, and the corners of her mouth curled playfully.

"No one can be forever, Captain." She replied.

There was a dead silence.

Fang Yu felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, he didn't know if this was a rejection, but this was the second time. After a moment of silence, a soft inquiry came from the quilt: "Then captain, how long are you going to let me stay by your side?" ”

The girl's voice is somewhat playful.

Fang Yu suddenly fell asleep.

"Forever."

He was extremely bold and categorical.

"How far is forever?" Sylvid knew this wonderful problem among the Chosen One.

That was many years ago.

The father stroked his mother's picture frame and replied to her, "For mortals, it will always be the life of mortals. ”

She didn't know if it was a lifelong commitment, and the relationship between the two began with a ship, the same as her father and mother, but gradually it ended with the captain and his young lady.

She didn't know if her heart would be able to moor in this harbor.

It's just that by Fang Yuan's side, she rarely feels a trace of peace.

She smiled slightly before falling asleep.

After a long time, only the sound of the pendulum 'clicking, clicking' remained in the darkness.

Tata sat among the fluffy feathered pillows, looking at the young girl, the human affection, which was strange to her, even incomprehensible, but she was wise enough to perceive that she seemed to have caused a little trouble to Mr. Knight.

She should have felt guilty, but she felt a little strange, looking at the young man's face sleeping peacefully, Miss Fairy suddenly felt a trace of warmth in her heart.

It was like a square plover by a campfire, sharing cookies with her.

Somewhat sweet.

It's the taste of sugar—

It permeated the night air, and was dispersed in the howling wind, as if with the wind and snow, sweeping far over the hills.

However, for the entire South, the storm has only just begun.

……

The next morning, the blizzard rarely stopped for a moment.

The snow was several feet thick and piled up outside the window, almost touching the ridges of ice hanging from the eaves. It was only when the first rays of morning light pierced through the forest and fell into the house that Fang Yu woke up, and he lay flat on the bed, looking at the ceiling, and was quiet for a moment.

Everything last night was like a dream. But he was afraid that it was really a dream, and when he looked back, he found that the ship's master lady was in a deep dream, her long eyelashes hanging down, reflecting the crystal white of her skin.

He used to see Sleeping Beauty's fairy tales.

But this fairy tale came out of the storybook at this moment and presented to him.

The girl slept like a princess, quiet and peaceful.

Fang Yuan's heart jumped, and the ghost made him get closer, and a faint fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose. He was cautious, as if he were approaching a fragile piece of art, but suddenly, Sylvid's eyelashes twitched slightly, and he fled and jumped out of bed.

Both of them slept in their clothes, so Fang Yu put on his coat in a panic, got out of bed and looked back, and was relieved to see that Miss Ship Officer had not woken up. He was worried about making a noise with the other party, so he carefully opened the door, walked out step by step, and closed the door gently.

It was only when the door closed that Sylvede opened her eyes, clear to the light blue of the morning sun. She smiled and whispered, "Coward." ”

It was already the last day of staying at the estate.

The interval between the blizzard is the last time window to go to the south, because once this half month has passed, it will be trapped in Dulun until next year. The adventuring group is racing against time, and everyone naturally does not have that American time.

After passing the Great Valley, crossing the Holy Bow Peak, and entering the southern foot of the Cave Bottom Mountains, the climate gradually warms, and spring tends to arrive a month or two earlier, and when you reach the brown redwood forest, February and March are already the scenery of mid-spring.

Fortunately, the team set off early the next morning, and Fang Yu still had a whole day to say goodbye to Ender.

On the day of his departure, the legendary alchemist seemed to be a little absent-minded. This morning was the last lesson Fang Ou had left in the manor, and André Uriel taught him about magic, when the old man suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking.

Fang Yu was slightly stunned and raised his head. "What are you looking at?" Ander's silver gray eyebrows raised, picked up the book and knocked on him, he had knocked it smoothly in the past few days, but the book was raised high, put it down gently, and finally patted the kid's head with the book.

He sighed suddenly, feeling a little uneasy. In the early years, he never worried about his age, birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, he often laughed at the old copper nose They were not free and easy.

But this morning, when he saw the bare trees in the courtyard, he suddenly had something in his heart that he had never felt before.

He looked at the only student in front of him, the only proud closed disciple - although he had never said that, he actually had a clear position in his heart. He had only been teaching this student for seven days, and what he had learned all his life was vast, but there was not much time left.

Ander-Uriel had never regretted it in his life, but at this moment he felt a little annoyed, if he could have gone to Kapka earlier and found this stupid boy, he would have at least half a year more.

But it is impossible to let Fang Yu stay, after all, it is the world of young people, and they have to go south to rebuild the Seven Seas Traveler.

That drawing, also his hard work, also seems to be a kind of inheritance.

"That's it," replied the old man angrily, "I can't tell you anything in the morning, so I'll take the book and read it myself." ”

"Be careful on the road."

"Wait for me at the Rose Workshop."

"—"

Fang Yu was stunned for a while, and suddenly understood something.

He held the book thrown by the other party and bowed deeply to the old man.

That is the inheritance of knowledge, the student's return to the teacher, and in silence, civilization has been passed down from generation to generation.

While preparing his luggage in the courtyard, Fang Yu met with the dwarf president again. This was the second time in many days that the two had met, and they nodded to each other from a distance, and the other seemed to be about to leave, with the little monster carrying a large pile of luggage in the back.

The gnome chief frowned, and wiped and wiped his handkerchief on the handle of the box until it was shiny. He looked at his handkerchief with disgust on his face, and handed it to the little monster: "I've sent you." The little dwarf departed happily as if he had found a treasure.

Fang Yu shook his head before retracting his gaze.

Sylvid handed a ring from the side.

"Mr. Ander has identified it for you, and I will pass it on to you," she had already finished dressing up, wearing a black veil on her head, with a hazy beauty, which seemed to be a little more beautiful than usual, and smiled slightly: "He likes you quite a student." ”

"Hit me on the head every day, and beat me stupidly." Fang Yu complained.

Sylvide chuckled.

He took the ring from the girl's hand, it was the ring that the lich dropped, one of the three rings of the goblin, and after identification, the attributes naturally changed:

Fairy Friend, Ring of St. Dirac (Legendary Ring, Quality, SS+)

'Computing power increases mana output-'

Weight: 0.1kg

Requirements: One-third Starlight

'The Soul of the Broken Star, the Spirit of Casting Glory'

When Fang Yu saw this attribute, he secretly screamed. Only then did I understand why this ring was called 'Soul of Broken Stars, Spirit of Casting Flowers', and the so-called Star Soul was Starlight, which was just another way of saying Aitalia.

Taking up one-third of Starlight is equivalent to a half-chance of resurrection for a normal Electee, and it is also equivalent to a chance to resurrect for him, which is too costly.

But this thing is really suitable for the Lich, and it's no wonder that the skull is on the body, because the undead don't have Starlight at all, and this ring is equivalent to no need for it. Fang Yu held the ring, and was in a dilemma for a while.

This ring is really strong, but the price is too heavy, who would want to lose a life for no reason? For a moment, Fang Yu couldn't help but feel a little like transforming into a lich.

And this is still when he was in Yunliu Harbor, Miya made up for some of the starlight for him, otherwise with his current starlight, it would be really troublesome to wear a ring.

But he thought about it for a moment, and put the ring in his pocket for the time being.

It was too expensive, and he needed to think carefully before he could make a decision. Fang Yu's heart was full of unwillingness, and he finally got a piece of legendary equipment, and it was also the rarest magic ornament.

And it turned out like this-

He didn't have the anger to throw this thing out directly, already because it was priceless.

Sylvi was not surprised at all when she saw him put the ring back, obviously knowing the contents of the test.

She only helped Fang Yu pick up a box - the box was basically full of books, and it was heavy. Seeing this, Fang Yu hurriedly said, "I'll use the constructor to help." ”

Sylved nodded at her Nunu and motioned for the old man to watch from the room, "Combat craftsmen don't easily waste the mana of their constructs, just as magicians don't waste their mana. ”

"Don't let Mr. Ender see it, be careful that he comes out and beats you again."

Frightened, Fang Yu hurriedly looked back.

The aristocratic daughter smiled slightly and blinked: "And I'm not so weak." ”

It's really not that weak, and I can't help it-

Fang Yu himself also wanted to be strong, so he picked up a box with one hand and chased after him, but he didn't go far before he fell on his heels. After all, the physique of an alchemist is still a little different from that of a gunsmith.

As a last resort, he had no choice but to summon his own walkers.

Falaise Copperbay put his suitcase in the back of the carriage, jumped into the carriage, and watched the two walk into the snow from a distance before turning back and asking, "Your student?" ”

The old man who Fang Yu imagined should be in the house was sitting in the carriage at the moment, looking at Fang Ou and Sylvide's backs through the frost-stained glass window, noncommittal: "Almost." ”

"Pretty much the answer?"

"Pretty much just about it."

"Why did you suddenly agree to go south again?" The dwarf asked, a little strangely.

"The old mistake is made," replied Ender, "and the snow in the north has been heavier this year." ”

"It's a lot bigger."

Falais-Copperbay saw that the square plover was short, and one of its heels was planted in the snow.

"Why doesn't he need the construct's help?"

"I remember that kid was a combat craftsman."

Ander took a breath, lowered the curtain slightly, and replied, "Who knows, probably a fool." ”

……

Back in Dulun, after the dormant day, the city regained a little bit of vitality.

The aristocracy was planning to celebrate the hunting season, and when the snow had stopped, people swept the streets and decorated them with colorful draperies, giving the city a little festive atmosphere.

The gallows in the square had also been removed, leaving only bloodstained ground, and the city guards had withdrawn shortly after Fang had witnessed a clash between the aborigines a few days earlier.

On the surface, the hunting season has brought a glimpse of the past to Dulun, but in private, everyone can feel the turbulent undercurrent.

Before returning to the inn, Fang Ou and Sylvid collided head-on.

The people who surprised him a little were the people who wore the crest of black flames, and they were none other than the guild members of the Shadow Throne, most of whom were the Electors. The other party stopped the two of them and asked, "Are you a member of the nearby adventure group?" ”

Fang Yu paused for a moment, looked at these people, and found that the other party was not hostile, so he nodded lightly.

"Then do you want to consider joining our Southern Alliance?"

"Confederate Confederate people?" Fang Yu was stunned again: "Isn't that disbanded?" ”

"How do you speak," the man was visibly unhappy, "it's disbanded, it's just a reorganization." And don't you know that the reorganization of the Southern League is the meaning of the Super Athletic League, and in the future, our southern region will also be an important competition area in China. ”

The man continued, "Now that we are the reorganized Southern Alliance, if you join now, a few core guilds will still be missing. ”

Fang Yu shook his head, he just asked, of course he didn't plan to join this Raushzi Southern Alliance.

But the other party obviously did not intend to let them go, until he explained clearly that they were just an adventure group passing through this place from the north, and the other party confirmed it again and again, and then let them leave with a suspicious expression.

After all, no matter how wide the Southern Alliance is, it can't control the entire Kaulin-Ishurian adventure group. After the men had dispersed, Fang Yu entered the inn and saw Lady Quesu coming out of it.

"Mr. Captain, are you back?" Ms. Quesu was a little surprised to see him.

Fang Yu patted the snow on his body, nodded, and asked again, "What's going on with those people outside?" ”

Ms. Quisu shook her head and looked outside, "The Southern Alliance announced its reorganization a few days ago, and those people are—"

Fang Yu suddenly reacted: "Wait a minute, let me guess, the main body of this so-called new Southern Alliance is definitely not the original three major guilds, right?" ”

Lady Quisu nodded, "I don't know much about your Guild of the Chosen One, but I've heard that it's a BBK Alliance, and the following is mainly the Shadow Throne and several other guilds...... I'm familiar with these guilds. ”

Fang Yu thought to himself, sure enough, the Super Athletic Alliance was not so easy to stop. However, to rebuild the Southern Alliance, without the cooperation of the Alchemist Alliance, will the guilds of the Shadow Throne have so much appeal?

As soon as he asked, it was not surprising that the situation had been chaotic in recent days.

Although the Southern Union has been dissolved,. Like the dissolution of M, the current southern border seems to be gradually dividing into two camps. However, he had read Sophie's message before, and he had a faint premonition in his heart.

. After the division of M, the division of the southern border this time is only afraid that it will be so easy to complete.

The Super Athletic League definitely has a backhand.
