Chapter 20: Grey Notices II
"Y-...... you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am," the black-haired youth shook his head, "Let me ask you a question, did you promise to help a guy named Shana deliver something to Coldwaterport?" β
βShanaοΌβ Fang Yuan's mood suddenly went from one extreme to the other, he thought that the other party would know his teacher, but he didn't expect it to be not; But the person the other party said was also mysterious to him, and he almost froze for a moment before he reacted, "Wait, you know Shana?" β
The black-haired young man got the information he wanted from this rhetorical question, and nodded, "It seems that it's you, Shana asked you to help make a batch of equipment and promised to pay you at the market price, is there such a thing?" β
Of course, Fang Yu still remembers this, and Shana asks him to help make a batch of Drake Type 123 sets, and send them to Coldwater Harbor with a group of novices using the magic guide furnace. He planned to go to the Scepter Coast to deal with the matter after meeting Mazak.
He nodded.
"That's it," the black-haired young man laughed, "I'm the one who came to pay the deposit." β
Fang Yu looked at each other a little sluggishly.
For a batch of novice equipment, let a top master pay their deposit, is this a human thing?
"Wait a minute," he still didn't understand, how did the other party know that his first ID on the community was Columba, Shana, they shouldn't know about it.
He couldn't help but ask, "What is your relationship with Shana, and why do you know that ID?" β
"I do know Shana and R," the black-haired youth replied, looking at him, "but as for why they know your ID, you may have to ask him personally, and I don't really know why they trust you so much to let you do this task." β
Fang Yu was slightly stunned, is there anything special about this task, and can we talk about the word trust? But the next moment, he suddenly stood on the spot, as if he had just reacted, wait, who is Shana and here?
He opened his mouth and looked at each other in shock: "S, Shana and, and ......?" β
"What," the brunette looked at him, and then showed a rather surprised look, "It seems that you still know R?" β
Fang Yuan's mind was in chaos.
The black-haired young man's words, he almost didn't have any doubts, because coincidentally, R and Shana were both going to let him go to Coldwater Harbor, and there was no such coincidence in the world, was there?
It's just that Shana and his teacher actually knew each other, which was like a bombshell, and he lost his ability to think for a while.
However, he quickly came back to his senses, and immediately thought of something else, could the contact between himself and Shana be arranged by the teacher? So those training software and tests are actually the 'homework' assigned to him by R?
The idea sounded sounding solid, but he immediately became skeptical.
Because that's not quite R's style.
Although that person has always concealed his identity from him, he will never use these small means, and the other party will only tell him openly, I will not tell you about it.
If the other party wants to assign him any homework, he will just pack it up and throw it to him, and then tell him that if he can't solve it, he can get out. The other party will not disdain to make these flowers, of course, most of them are also because of the direct reason of laziness.
Just a coincidence?
So on the other hand, does Shana know about his relationship with R? This Fang Plover is even more uncertain, because the other party has always behaved very mysterious, and he has not communicated much with the other party.
At this time, everyone on the deck also came over and came behind Fang Yuan.
Kita was representing the others in the cabin, and her voice came out of the microphone with some concern: "Commander, how is it outside?" β
"It's okay, you don't have to come out," Sylvid watched from afar, and whispered a reassuring word to Miss Scholar, "Don't worry, I'll protect your captain." Also, Mr. Luo Yu, please continue to increase the release power of the magic guide engine-"
Luo Yu answered.
The deck rose and fell, the ship moved forward in a jolting and shaking, and the Seven Seas Traveler was still slowly descending and rumbling from within.
The black-haired young man glanced left and right, and his gaze returned to Fang Yu, "It seems that you have some secrets in you, and I probably understand the reason why Shana and R chose you." β
He raised his sword, "...... Now you should know what I'm here for, don't stop, keep attacking, and if you have any questions, we'll talk about it while we fight. β
Everyone was slightly stunned.
And Fang Yu had already understood what the other party meant, and raised the magic guide gun to shoot at the other party, of course, in the gushing firelight, the muzzle of the gun was slightly to the side.
The black-haired young man backhanded a sword, swept away the bullet in a cloud of sparks, and at the same time looked at Fang Yu and said: "Don't deliberately disguise, just attack directly, you can treat it as a training battle, let me see your strength." β
Hearing this, the box immediately shot up with an arrow step in a muffled voice, holding a thin sword and stabbing straight ahead, but this time the black-haired young man no longer exchanged swords with him, only sideways to get out of the way, he only stretched out his hand and pushed behind the other party, and the box flew out directly.
But Fang Yu could see that the other party had left his hand, otherwise the box would not have flown out this time. But he didn't know what to say for a while, the other party asked them to let go of the attack, and the box was really full of iron, leaving no room at all.
He stood still, full of questions about R and Shana, but he didn't know where to start.
The black-haired young man took the initiative to ask, "Do you have a way to break out?" β
Fang Yu was slightly stunned at this time, he didn't expect the other party to ask about this.
He hesitated, and for a moment he didn't decide whether to tell the other party, although the other party had already identified himself, but for them after all, he was just a stranger.
At this time, Baggins saw the box fall to the ground, shook his head, and then had to pull out his scimitar and rush forward.
The black-haired youth stepped back and unsheathed Baggins' knife, "I mean, if you're ready to fight your way out of here, you'd better be prepared. β
Fang Yu was loading the bullets, and under the cover of the gunsmoke, he paused for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?" β
At this time, Luo Hao and Parker also attacked.
But under the siege of the three, the black-haired young man was still able to calmly separate the flying lead bullets with a single sword, and split one in two in a burst of fire. He even had the leisure to calmly reply:
"Looks like I've come to the right place, and you really don't quite know what's going on."
Fang Yu heard it in a fog.
At this time, Parker flew back with a scream, rolling back down the deck like a rolling gourd, although the other party kept his hand, but the shot was not light at all.
The black-haired young man asked, "Do you know how much trouble you have caused in Idania?" β
Doesn't this puff know that the royal family of Kaulin-Ishurian has listed them as wanted criminals? Besides, the Super Athletic Alliance, which has always been against him, will definitely have some follow-up measures, and he roughly expected it.
But the black-haired young man looked at him and shook his head obviously: "It seems that you really don't know." β
"What do you mean?"
"The Descendants of Flor have placed you on top arrest warrant, and now there are at least seven Career Electors returning from the Second World searching for your whereabouts in Nognes." The black-haired young man pointed to the emblem on his chest, "I'm just one of them, this time I was lucky enough to find you first, but not next time." β
Fang Yu was taken aback at this time, and even the previous doubts were thrown into the back of his mind.
Isn't the Career Elector who has returned from the Second World synonymous with the Superior?
It could even be a dragon knight.
Thinking that there were seven dragon knights searching for his whereabouts at the moment, Fang Yu suddenly had a magical feeling in his heart, is the top elector of the Flor Descendants the cabbage on the side of the road?
He didn't even feel uneasy for the first time, but was incredulous, so much so that he couldn't help but subconsciously ask: "Wait, why ......"
Forget about the Super Athletic Alliance, he made so much trouble for the alliance in Van Rik, and then refused the alliance's solicitation, according to Sophie, the other party had already had the heart to give them some eye medicine.
But what does this have to do with the descendants of Flore, are they crazy? The Coalition could only talk about their attack on the port if they were in trouble with themselves, because the remnants of the Blind Followers were obviously difficult to cover, and it was just an excuse to prevaricate the Korinians.
What they did in Questak was well known, although Princess Celestia was able to deny her relationship with Sylvid by insisting that it wasn't the Seven Seas Brigade. But the Kaolin people couldn't find negative evidence for this, but they couldn't deceive the melon-eating masses with bright eyes.
Now who doesn't know how the blind god Deska came to Questac, and how it finally disappeared out of thin air, everyone obviously knows in their hearts.
Even if the alliance insists on going its own way and believes that they are the remnants of the blind followers, it will not be able to stop the mouths of the people. Not to mention convincing the Star Gate, and if the Seven Seas Brigade is not wanted by the Star Gate, the Alliance itself does not have the power to convict the Free Elect.
What even the Super Athletic Alliance can't do, the Descendants of Flor are even less worthy of a guild alliance, why should these people warrant them for wanting? The other party wants to push himself to the forefront when the elven ruins are still unsettled?
The black-haired young man swam between Luo Hao and Baggins in a flash, and stabbed at Fang Yuan with a sword in the smoke, but Fang Yuan was in a daze, and the other party shook his head when he saw this, and put the sword back in its sheath.
At this moment, the Seven Seas Traveler had sailed into the clouds, and he didn't need to load it anymore.
"Don't think too much about it, the wanted warrant for the descendants of Flor is only within the seventeen guild alliances, but this is enough for you," the black-haired young man looked at Fang Yu and said, "Now everyone knows that the return of the blind god Deska to eternal sleep has something to do with you, do you guess that the people of the descendants of Flor know that the Crown of Helin is on you, what will they do?" β
Fang Yu opened his mouth, and then he understood what had happened.
It turned out that it was related to Cangzhihui in the end.
At this time, Ai Xiaoxiao sneaked out of the captain's room and was about to sneak attack from behind, but the other party suddenly turned around, and she was scared to take a step back. Then Ai Xiaoxiao looked at the black-haired young man with wide eyes, as if he had seen a ghost:
"Ah, it's you."
The black-haired young man had obviously recognized Ai Xiaoxiao and the box a long time ago, and he nodded: "It's me, thank you before." After thanking him again, the other party took out something from under his trench coat and handed it over.
"A small gift for you."
"What is this?"
"You'll take it apart and see for yourselves later."
Ai Xiaoxiao sighed, she didn't know how many gifts she had received since she was older, so she didn't care too much, "That's right," she only looked at the other party curiously: "Where's your box?" β
The little girl was a little worried that the other party had lost the suitcase again.
The black-haired young man smiled: "Someone is watching, don't worry." β
Then he turned around and looked at Fang Yuan, "I remember that Ye Hua was also in that place at the beginning, didn't he tell you how much manpower and material resources the Flor Descendants invested in finding Cangzhihui?" β
Fang Yu couldn't help but think that Ye Hua had indeed said something similar to him, but it was his own choice to return to Cuestak, because of the choice at that time, the Seven Seas Brigade would be in the trouble it is in now.
And maybe the future will be even more dangerous, but does he regret it?
He shook his head inwardly.
"Great God Ye Hua told me this." Fang Yu thought about this matter clearly before raising his head.
The black-haired young man looked at him, probably recognizing something in his expression, and nodded. "Well, I'm just here to warn you of this, it's been a lot of people lately, especially in places like thisβ"
"I understand." Fang Yu nodded slightly.
The black-haired young man looked left and right, "So do you have a way to break out, do you need my help?" β
This time, Fang Yu didn't deny it again, but he didn't expect Shana and the others to help the Seven Seas Brigade at this time, and he didn't expect that the other party would find a dragon knight to pay them a deposit.
However, they had already made a decision to break out from beneath the abyss, and there was no need to change their decision at this moment.
The black-haired young man listened to his description, but looked very simple, "It's okay, then I don't need to do more, after all, I still have to stay with the descendants of Flor for a while, and it's not good to leave too many tails." β
He looked at Fang Yuan, "When I see Shana and R helping me greet them, I'll wish you good luck on the road." β
"Wait."
Fang Yu stopped the other party.
The black-haired youth was about to leave, stopped at the moment and looked at him.
"That ......" Fang Yu was a little puzzled, "What about the deposit?" β
The black-haired young man looked up speechlessly and slapped his head.
He walked over, and then handed over a crystal to Fang Yu's hand, "It's so dangerous, I almost forgot, but fortunately, you reminded me, this is an information crystal, the deposit and the money needed to purchase materials are in it, and there is still some information ...... in it."
He paused: "If you can't find a way to buy the materials you need, you can try your luck at the place recorded above." β
Fang Yu took the crystal and nodded.
"Thanks, you ......" He looked at the other party, and asked about his teacher and Shana again, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that the other party might not answer, so he still took the words back into his mouth.
"Just call me X," the black-haired young man seemed to see his full of questions, and said, "They didn't tell you about R and Shana, and I won't say much, so if you have the chance, you might as well ask them yourself." β
After saying this, X turned and walked towards the mist, and by the time Fang Plover saw the other party's figure again, he had already leapt far towards a giant tree root, and after folding on it, he finally disappeared without a trace.
Fang Yu looked down at the crystal in his hand, and stood in place for a while, before he could digest the information he had obtained.
Sylvid's soft voice was already heard from the side.
"We're about to enter the wind elemental layer, Captain, let's go into the cabin first."
Fang Yu turned his head and bowed his head slightly.
β¦β¦
In just half an hour, the empty sea outside Tarn Harbour was densely packed with sailboats.
When the captain of the Shorttail Sturgeon saw the black-haired young man fall back into the boat, he immediately stepped forward and asked nervously, "What about those people, sir, have you caught them?" β
X looked at everyone and shook his head, "They are crazy, after I got on the boat, they drove the ship directly into the wind elemental layer, I don't want to die with them, after watching them sink into the elemental layer, I left first." β
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this.
The captain of the Bobtail Sturgeon opened his mouth, "...... First, sir, I don't doubt you, but did you really see them sink into the wind elemental layer? β
"Of course," X nodded, "I understand what you mean, I can still get back after entering the shallow level of the elemental layer, but if they continue to go down, I can't do anything." β
He straightened his collar and said, "You can send a few dinghy down to have a look." β
Hearing this, the captain of the short-tailed sturgeon was convinced, and he couldn't help but exchange a few glances with his adjutant. The Nanami Traveler isn't as big as their cruisers, so after the small ship enters the wind elemental layer, I'm afraid that the turbulence is enough to blow the ship apart, right?
Are those people really jumping over the wall in a hurry, and they have no choice but to drive the boat down?
"But the abyssal sea passages below the wind elemental layer ......," the deputy added, "......What if they escaped with the help of those passages?" β
"How can those passages be so easy to find? Besides, their ships couldn't hold up for that long, and most of them had already fallen apart before they had passed through the elemental layer. The captain of the Bobtail Sturgeon shook his head, "Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if they do leave, it's none of our business, just let the adults worry about it." β
The deputy was slightly stunned, but he thought so.
Even if it's the wanted warrant of the royal family, they can't fight for those 200,000, they are not those precarious bounty hunters.
The two couldn't help but look at X on the side, although this young man is also a bounty hunter, but his identity is a little unusual, from the second world, even if he does not have a title, but in this world he can also be on an equal footing with those nobles who are high.
Kingship is a kind of strength, but what about the strong themselves?
