"If you go through the canyon, it's Idus."

The rain fluttered on the canopy, and the rain shone through the light of the torches, causing the fire to flicker and shine on a paved map. A line of charcoal, thick and black, zigzags through the Panier region, resting heavily on a point where the powder of the charcoal blooms and sparkles in the light of the torches.

The dot was marked with a small line of 'Idus'—the Cowlin-Ishurian crooked word of art.

Seeing this line of small characters, Fang Yuan's gaze seemed to have passed through the back of the parchment and saw the ruins of the ancient city standing on the side of the gray-red cliff.

Red put down the charcoal, patted the dust on his paws, and said, "The Dragonfire Guild is making such a big fuss here, they may have a stronghold near Idus. Considering the news from Elffindor, the Blood Shark Pirates are also converging in the vicinity, so there may be some connection between them. ”

"Didn't Elffindor send men to Idus?"

"It's just an early reconnaissance team, we left Van Rik early, and I don't know if the other party has brought back any useful information."

"Didn't Lynn mention this?"

"No, the Elfindor Council still can't trust him. At present, the most reliable way for us to communicate with the council is to rely on the more primitive carrier pigeons, although they are a little behind - but at least they are the work of my teachers. ”

After Alyssa and the big cat man asked and answered, Fang Yu turned around and answered the question.

"I knew that Xiaoxiao and I should follow my brother's arrangement, stay in Van Rik, and let everyone have one more way to get in touch." Tang Xin said with a little regret. Fang Yu glanced at her a little unexpectedly, today's cousin was a little incredibly gentle.

Ai Xiaoxiao carefully kicked Tang Xin's toes, signaling that she didn't want to, how interesting it was to stay in this team.

The latter glared at her.

"Luo Xiaopang," Alyssa asked Luo Hao with a smile, "Don't you have a communication channel for the military?" ”

"We?" Luo Hao shook his head: "The military and the Alffindor Council are not familiar with each other, and besides, after we leave Van Rick, the military should almost have taken away manpower." After the shutdown of the Super Athletic League, the military could not meddle in the affairs of the South alone. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about that. Our communication with Alffindor is still relatively smooth, but the key is that Elffindor himself did not send many people over, and the first group of people to go did not find out the whereabouts of Nicol Bolas, and left not long after. ”

"At the moment, this group of people is still the additional men sent by Elfin after many people knew that we were going to Idus. And the other party may not have arrived at Idus before us, and it may not be possible that they are still on the way. Fang Yu replied.

"But we have to guard against it." The big cat man mentioned it.

"Indeed." Fang Yu still nodded, agreeing with this.

Ji Ta was also a little worried, and mentioned it slightly: "We have made the Dragon Fire Guild suffer a big loss here, and they will definitely not give up." If only they were in the area of Idus and knew the place better than we did......"

When she thought of something, she suddenly stopped, looked at Fang Yu a little uneasily, and said softly, "I'm sorry, captain, I didn't say you shouldn't do that. ”

Fang Yu understood what she meant, and only smiled slightly: "It's okay. ”

Their actions will definitely make enemies with the Dragon Fire Guild, but with the current situation of the Dragon Fire Guild, if they don't make enemies with each other, won't the other party take the initiative to attack them? I'm afraid that this answer is no, not to mention that the Dragon Fire Guild has a bad record in Elpahin, how did the 'eldest sister' and his party make a feud with Attila and Tianlan, Fang Yu didn't forget, this is not Tianlan They took the initiative to provoke each other.

Moreover, now that the Dragonfire Guild is jointly wanted by Stargate Harbor and Kaorin-Ishurian, they can nominally be regarded as the most vicious group of people in the kingdom at this moment, and for their own safety, they will also show more aggression than before.

In this case, it doesn't make a difference whether to make a feud or not, and you can get greater benefits by making a move, Fang Yu will make such a judgment. What's more, it's not that he hasn't thought about this aspect of things, but he has come to the conclusion that he will behave more utilitarianly, but it will dispel the suspicions of other aspects of the other party, so that the opponent is only the 'Dragon Fire Guild' for the time being, not the 'Dragon Worship Sect'.

The difference between this is quite large.

Kita smiled at the captain and smiled at herself, before she relaxed slightly.

She kept her mouth shut, thinking to herself that she couldn't be so reckless in the future. Miss Naturalist grasped the huge lower edge of her magic book with her small hand, her fingertips were slightly white, and she compared herself with the gentle and wise Miss Ship Officer in her heart, and sure enough, it was still far from it.

Alyssa fiddled with the acorns she had picked up on the table, a 'thank you gift' from the mysterious occupant of the ship, presumably as a token of appreciation for the little house she had built for her, and the acorns were brought back by Miss Delis, and soon became Nini's toy.

Nini is holding her hands on the acorns and is making a babbling sound, playing a game of pushing the acorns with Alyssa.

Alyssa can defeat her with just one finger. But Miss Nightingale, with one hand on her cheeks, watched this scene with great interest, and did not really make any effort, but only teased the latter.

Ai Xiaoxiao hugged Delis and watched this scene with envy - but unfortunately Nini didn't like to be close to her, because she always liked to play with each other like dolls. For the same reason, Nini also stayed away from Sky Blue.

"Have you told the military people about the appearance of the Dragon Fire Guild around here?" Alyssa let go of her hand, allowing Nini to let out a cheering sound. She smiled a little, and after listening to the conversation between the big cat and Fang Yuan, she opened her mouth to ask.

Fang Yu nodded.

When cleaning the battlefield in the afternoon, he informed Her Royal Highness the princess of the silver Vislan and Su Changfeng, and the former laughed at him for not going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and he didn't contact her for a long time, which made him very embarrassed for a while. Fortunately, Sophie was very generous in letting go of this question, and only asked about her father, and Fang Yu remembered her commission about herself, and for a while she didn't know how to answer.

When Sophie saw his appearance, she couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that he really asked." ”

Fang Yu was surprised: "How do you know?" ”

"You've got it all written on your face, what a fool."

"Is it so obvious ......?"

Sophie looked at her shrewdly, "I guess you were the same then as you are now, and you won't answer, right?" ”

Fang Yu couldn't help but be angry when he thought of this, and said angrily: "This kind of non-existent thing, how can you make me embarrassed to say it......

Her Royal Highness the Princess of Silver Vislan was not annoyed at all, but smiled: "But Akane and I are so pitiful, you won't help it, besides, it's not my father who is too old, and we are also victims." ”

"That's what it means, but what does it have to do with me?"

"But aren't you my friend with Akane?"

Fang Yu thought about it, so he replied, "But I must tell Sylvid about this." ”

"Whatever you want," Sophie rolled her eyes, "your Miss Ship Officer has picked up a treasure." ”

Fang Yu didn't hear the irony of these words at all, and only asked again: "Then again, you and Qian are really ......?" ”

Sophie nodded earnestly, rarely.

Fang Yu was a little surprised, but also a little unexpected, so he couldn't help but ask: "Then if those fans of yours knew about this, wouldn't they be sad and die." ”

"They won't," Sophie scoffed, knowing in her heart what the guild had cultivated for her fans: "They were so excited that they couldn't sleep for three days and three nights, otherwise you thought the club would let it go?" ”

Fang Yuan's forehead was shiny when he heard this, and he wiped a handful of sweat: "Is Silver Vislan so dark?" ”

"What is this," Sophie lowered her voice with a gossipy look on her face, "Silver Vislan has already been calculated, but the god killer broke up Sister Hades and our president - of course, it is not exactly the same as the rumors outside, and the two of them also have some reasons for their own reasons......"

Fang Yu didn't expect that he had inadvertently heard a shocking gossip, but if he thought about it carefully, it seemed that it was true, and the star players cultivated by the major guilds rarely considered personal matters before retiring.

As for the negotiations with the military, it is naturally far from being so bloody.

Su Changfeng didn't mention his daughter's matter again, but asked about Luo Hao's current situation. As for the activities of the Dragon Fire Guild in the area of Idus, the military has actually received some other tips, and it is not only from the Seven Seas Brigade that they have received news.

Su Changfeng also told him that it was unlikely that the military would take direct action, on the one hand, whether the stronghold of the Dragon Fire Guild was in Idus or not, everything was just speculation. And even if the military sends a floating ship, it is unlikely to force the Dragon Fire Guild to show its head, but it will startle the snake.

The second aspect is naturally the same reason: the military cannot get too deeply involved in the affairs of the southern border, and it is one thing to crack down on cultists, but it is another thing to investigate the infiltration of cults. The closest aboriginal force to Idus is naturally the Southern Alliance, so the military has already informed the parliament of this information, waiting for further verification by the other party.

However, since Fang Yu had discovered something, Su Changfeng also suggested that he continue to follow this clue to search, if he found out the exact location of the Dragon Fire Guild, the military could let the nearest floating ship come to support them at any time.

Fang Yu didn't have any opinions, the military had given so many benefits to the Seven Seas Brigade, and it was for the convenience of their identities to act better that they went to investigate the matter between the cultists and the Dragon Fire Guild in private. If everything is waiting for the other party to come and solve it, then what else do they need to do?

He naturally understood the meaning of this, so he nodded directly.

Returning to reality, a lightning bolt streaked across the night in the distance, reflecting the sky and earth in the canyon in a snowy expanse. The rain pouring between heaven and earth was connected into straight lines under the electric light, and Fang Yu watched the waterline slide down the eaves, splashing all over the ground.

The water flowed down the deck, over Miss Attila's garden, not far away, and from the grooves there formed small whirlpools that flowed into the drainage pipes below, and finally from the side of the platform, once again into the curtain of rain.

This is the first thunderstorm since the beginning of summer in southern Kaulin. The rain came after nightfall, as if to wash away the last trace of blood in the canyon, and to carry the blood that seeped into the mud into the rushing stream, erasing the last trace of the great battle.

At first, the rain was just dripping, and gradually it was pouring down, and Fang Yuan couldn't help but think of the long lake in the east, the plague of the fishmen that had just disappeared, and he was afraid that it would flood again. This year's southern border is really a bit of a disaster.

Then another bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, with a rumbling thunder.

Outside, there was a sound of sky blue shouting:

"Ah, it's raining so hard outside!"

The little blonde girl rushed in from outside with her head in her arms, patting her chest breathlessly, looking like she was palpitating.

She was followed by Parker, Luo Yu, and the box. Finally, Sylvide and Shesta—the noblewoman's daughter, as calm as ever, with her bright eyes first striking out the square plover from the crowd, and smiling slightly—behind her, the maid lady put away her silk umbrella before turning back and closing the door.

Tianlan walked up, slapped a dusty crystal on the table with a 'snap', and said proudly, "Brother Ed, guess what this is?" ”

Fang Yu didn't fall for her, he knew that this was something they had made from the corpse of the silver-maned spider, so he only looked at the ship's officer on the side and asked, "Is it identified?" ”

Sylvid nodded, looked back at Miss Elf who was sitting quietly on her shoulder, and smiled, "Thanks to Miss Tata's knowledge, this is a spider silk gem." ”

"Spider Silk Gem?" Fang Yuan's eyes lit up.

Unlike the female spider of the ordinary Panier cunning, the silk behind the silvermane spider is a supernatural ability, and it is naturally this 'small' gem the size of a palm. This gem is the 'Spider Silk Gem', and with it, it is possible to create a magic workbench that produces a steady stream of silver-maned spider silk.

Moreover, the silk behind the silvermaned spider is far more tenacious and durable than the silk of the ordinary Panir female spider, and the affinity for the wind element is also better, don't look at the fact that although they have gained a lot from fighting with the Dragonfire Guild this time, compared to this 'small' gem, the former is even a little inferior.

Not every spider colony has a spider queen, and not every spider queen can find a 'spider silk gem' on its body. Because the 'Spider Silk Gem' is actually the product of the magic crystallization in the body of the silver-maned spider. The moment the silvermaned spider queen dies, as the aether's magic dissipates, the 'Spider Silk Gem' may also disappear with it.

The moment he saw this gem, Fang Yu could conclude in his heart that there was at least more than half a chance that the Dragon Fire Guild's large-scale action was for this 'spider silk gem'. And they may not have hunted spider queens before, just because the 'spider silk gem' is so rare-

He didn't know whether to say that the other party was too lucky or too bad, and he really let the Dragon Fire Guild find a silver-maned spider with a 'spider silk gem', but in the end, it fell into their hands.

It's good that the Dragon Fire Guild doesn't know about this, and if it does, it doesn't know if it will be directly angry and explode on the spot.

Fang Yu took the gem from Sky Blue a little cautiously, how many things can be saved by the Seven Seas Brigade with this thing? It is equivalent to raising a 'Panier Cunning' on the ship that can continuously replenish the gaze, and the problem of repairing the sails in the future will also be solved.

As for the future if you need to build sails, you don't need to go to trouble with disgusting giant spiders.

This dusty 'crystal' may not look good on the outside, but at the moment it is much more beautiful than the most brilliant gem in Fang Yuan's eyes - it can even be said that it is the most valuable treasure for the team that they have obtained since their adventure.

He couldn't help but turn his head and glare at Tianlan, and said in pain: "How can such a precious thing be slapped on the table casually, what if it is broken?" ”

Tianlan grinned: "Brother Ed, a wealth fan." ”

"Why, why are you obsessed with money, I'm thinking about the team."

"Don't worry, it's sturdy, that's what Sister Sylvede said."

The aristocratic daughter also smiled and nodded.

Fang Yu couldn't say anything at this time, wiped the gem on his clothes vigorously, and then carefully put it in his pocket, and said, "All in all, I took care of it first." ”

Sky Blue slapped the table and leaned back with a smile for a while.

After a small episode, everyone talked about the Dragonfire Guild and the Blood Shark Air Pirates that appeared in Idus. Fang Yu suddenly remembered something, the big cat man and Parker had told him something a long time ago, about their journey from the Giant Tree Hill to Kaurin.

Only then did he pick up the memory and ask, "I heard that there is some connection between the Blood Shark Air Pirates and the Grey Sea Pirates?" ”

Rhett suddenly fell silent, his silver-gray eyes flickering.

But before he could speak, Baggins, who was sitting on the side, replied, "That's true, the Blood Shark Air Pirates were actually separated from the Grey Sea Pirates in the first place. ”

"Wait a minute, what is a Grey Sea Pirate?" Parker suddenly asked, "I've only heard of the Pale Pirates. ”

Baggins glanced at him and replied, "Above the sea of clouds in Aitalia, there are two of the most vicious pirate regiments. One is the Pale Pirates, and the second is the Grey Sea Pirates, who like to operate in the waters off the coast of Hanruina, with the Hydra Hydra as their emblem, and are well-organized and powerful, and are one of the long-term opponents of the Assyrian Empire and the Kaurin-Ishurian Navy in the empty sea. ”

"Because of their proximity to the Kaurin-Ishurian, the Kaulin-Ishurian are generally more familiar with this pirate group."

"But the Grey Pirates are not inferior to the Pale Pirates, but this group is much more complicated, and this pirate group is not even one, but a collective name for many pirates. They were mainly active off the coast of Rotao, as far north as the coast of the Scepter, and south as far as St. Huyen, a pirate group that is associated with the pirate tradition of St. Huyen's generation today. ”

He paused before he said, "And the Blood Shark Air Pirate is one of them. ”

Fang Yu asked, "Then why did they split from the Grey Sea Pirates?" ”

"I don't know," Baggins shook his head, "That was more than a decade ago, and the Blood Shark Pirates seemed to have gotten into some trouble with Rotao, so they left the Grey Sea and headed for Hanrena. They should now be under the pale pirates. ”

"This pirate band is a legend," Sylvid said, "I've heard my father talk about them, and they're the only small pirate band that has ever played in two major pirate groups. ”

Fang Plover turned to the big cat man and asked, "Mr. Red, I remember you mentioned that when you were traveling from the Giant Tree Hill to Kaulin, you encountered the Blood Shark Pirates?" ”

"That's just the big cat asking for trouble," Parker said angrily, "He has to say that the paladin should uphold justice, and that pirate attack had nothing to do with us, and I almost lost my life." ”

Red smiled slightly, and then replied gently: "Actually, it's just a personal holiday with the Blood Shark Air Pirate, and there is an old acquaintance in it." ”

The big cat man said as he touched the scar on his cheek with his paw, and a faint glow flashed in his silver-gray eyes.
