Chapter 145: Reply
"What are you going to work with?"
Fang Yuan's words seem to confirm most people's thoughts.
At the moment, both sides are looking for a step, and a compromise seems to be imminent, and many people are disappointed, but few people have exited the live broadcast room. The wandering horse glanced at the number of people, and the number of people in the live broadcast room was still rising.
"Mr. Ed, you may have misunderstood the purpose of our trip." Canghai Guzhou glanced at the prompt in the hand of the staff next to him, although he was the commander of this operation, as a person who spoke on behalf of the Jeffrey Redcoats, there were some things that he could not say if he wanted to.
In fact, what he was going to say had been decided long before the live broadcast was decided, and he was just an emotionless speech machine. He didn't resist this matter, but he didn't like it much, so he just continued without changing his face:
"We're not really going to get involved in this fight."
Fang Yu always felt that the other party was not joking with himself.
The Descendants of Flor did not intend to intervene in the fight, so he believed in a ghost. If this is the case, then what happened before, and what happened before, the descendants of Flor gathered a fleet of thousands of miles to test the strength of the Seven Seas Brigade?
What an international joke.
But Canghai Guzhou didn't seem to think it was funny at all, and continued: "You may not believe it, but it's true. We are here for something else, and we have no intention of opposing you in the pursuit of justice in your hearts, and we can even provide you with some help for the displaced refugees. ”
He paused: "As long as you are willing to cooperate with us." ”
Cooperate?
Fang Yu couldn't think of what was the purpose of the other party's intervention in this matter if it wasn't for the Crowclaw Temple?
Maybe it's for the whereabouts of the Hailin Crown? Or Miss Mia, the Witch of the Sea? Or the message on that obelisk beneath Fenris Island?
It was the only point of conflict of interest he could think of between himself and the descendants of Flor. Of course, from behind to in front of the stage, risking the position of offending the three goddesses, directly intervening in this fight, it does not seem to be in the interests of the descendants of Flor.
But if it is only for these reasons, the time node chosen by the other party is too coincidental.
But if it's really for the above three points, the Hailin Crown is currently in his own hands, but only half of it is left. As for Miss Mia, even if he knew anything, he wouldn't tell them.
As for the information on the obelisk beneath Fenris Island, Sylvid didn't mind giving it to him if he agreed. While that might have involved the secrets of the Elven Grail, to be honest, he didn't think the Seven Seas Brigade was currently in mind about that.
Besides, just providing information to the other party does not mean that the descendants of Flor have obtained the Elven Holy Grail.
Thinking of this, he looked at the other party, knowing that the other party's focus should still be behind.
Sure enough, Canghai Guzhou looked at him and said:
"Mr. Ed, we are here for a mission"
"In fact, the initiator of this mission, the Crown Steward, Deputy Head of the Knights of Steadfast Heart, the Knight of Dawn, and Count Greyius Haval should have arrived here with the kingdom's fleet, but considering that this is a matter between the Chosen and the Chosen One, for the sake of respect, we have been entrusted with the settlement of the dispute between you and them—"
Fang Yuan's eyes narrowed involuntarily.
The Lonely Boat paused again: "In the territory of Kaurin-Ishurian, after years of cultivation, a preliminary mutual trust and friendship have been established between the Electors and the aborigines. We believe that you, like us, certainly do not want to re-ignite conflict between the Elect and the Indigenous peoples, and repeat the history before the Stargate Declaration. ”
"I don't quite understand what you mean." Fang Yu replied, but he glanced back at Sylvid, and a hint of unease flashed in his heart.
And Canghai Guzhou didn't seem to see this scene, and continued to speak.
"I'm guessing you'll remember the kingdom's wanted warrant, and in fact we came to claim the whereabouts of a lady on behalf of the royal family of Kaurin-Iherion. And this lady is not a chosen one, but a resident of the kingdom of Kaulin-Ishurian, subject to the laws of the kingdom, and has a reasonable and lawful duty to the kingdom of Kaulin-Ishurian. ”
"The lady was grounded, disobeyed the orders of the Council of Nobles, and left a castle in Sorinya—and her king now held her accountable for her father's and family's actions, proclaimed her loyalty to the kingdom, and returned to the royal capital to prove that she was not involved in the conspiracy."
"I'm sure you know who I'm talking about, for this lady is on your ship, and she's Sir Marvey's daughter," said Canghai Guzhou, looking at the nobleman's daughter beside him, "Is it, Miss Sylvede-Albert?" ”
The scene fell silent all of a sudden, and people didn't seem to react yet.
Sylvid was stunned for a moment, but didn't speak.
In fact, the fact that she was on the Seven Seas Traveler is now known to the world, after all, those wanted notices have already been sent from north to south, and they have already reached the safety of Kaurin-Ishuri.
Canghai Guzhou looked at her and said, "Miss Sylvide, although you may not have personally participated in the rebellion, your family is involved in it, and you naturally have a suspicion that is difficult to clear. Your Majesty just grounded you in Solinya, and yet you left that place without permission, all of this is true, right? ”
"And your father's sailors have brought back news from the Second World, proving that there is also a rebellion in the fleet, and His Majesty ordered him to return to Aitaria not long ago, but so far, there has been no news from the Second World."
"Some say he has taken refuge in enemy countries, and as far as I know, the Orsians seem to have some secrets about the Stairway to the Sea......"
Speaking of this, Canghai Guzhou's tone suddenly changed his previous style, his sharp eyes stared at Fang Yuan, and Ci Feng's words suddenly became aggressive:
"Mr. Ed, I think this request is legitimate. Miss Sylvid was a resident of the kingdom, and according to the laws of the kingdom, she naturally owed a duty of loyalty to the High of Ishurian - especially if she and her father were nobles of the kingdom. ”
Fang Yu didn't say a word.
Suddenly, he understood the other party's intentions.
The Flor Descendants simply chose an entry point that he could not avoid - the Prime Minister's party wanted to capture the daughter of a 'traitorous courtier', although the crime may be unwarranted, but it is legally justified.
As the other party said, Sylvid is a native of Kaulin-Ihurian, a nobleman of the kingdom, and naturally has a duty of loyalty to the kingdom. At this moment, the symbol and supreme ruler of the kingdom is undoubtedly the young King and the prime minister behind him.
But the question is, will you agree to such a request?
That's impossible—
But the other party obviously expected this, and they came up with so many high-sounding excuses, which were nothing more than to avoid a head-on confrontation with the three goddesses.
They say that they are not here to intervene in this war in the north, and from this point of entry, the descendants of Flor can naturally attack the Seven Seas Brigade. In this way, everything makes sense, and the descendants of Flor are not radical, but have been prepared for a long time.
The other party is waiting for him here.
The three goddesses Marlan, Milella, and Ameya can certainly shelter the Seven Seas Brigade—but even the divine right can't easily intervene in worldly affairs, especially when it comes to the sensitive topic of kingship.
In the history of Aitalia, theocracy and kingship have not been without confrontation, and in some cases, they have even led to the fall of dynasties. But the gods who do whatever they want often end up not ending well, and mortals are in awe of powerful beings, but this awe itself is mixed with the element of fear.
Once a certain boundary is crossed, it will naturally cause alienation among mortals. And although the gods are gods, they ultimately need agents to act for them on earth.
Gods who have lost their spokesmen are often mostly lost in the long river of history-
What is clear is that the descendants of Flor have keenly grasped this forbidden area.
Perhaps this is exactly what the Grand Guild should do, and they have waited until now to launch it, precisely to obtain the approval of the royal family. And they knew very well that their demands would almost certainly be agreed to by the Prime Minister and the young King.
It's all linked together, and BBK's investment in the prime minister in the south has obviously paid off at this moment-
But now, it's the turn of the Seven Seas Brigade to deal with the dilemma.
What should he do?
It is impossible to hand over Miss Ship Officer.
But if they refuse, the fangs that the other party had hidden before will be revealed, and the other party has obviously been preparing for a long time in order to find this legitimate excuse.
And if he were a descendant of Flor, maybe he would broadcast this scene live, so as to further guide public opinion, in fact, maybe the descendants of Flor are already doing this.
Fang Yu silently stared at the man in front of him, and Canghai Guzhou looked a little indifferent - he obviously knew what kind of answer the other party would give, but as for whether that answer was right or wrong, in fact, it couldn't make waves in his heart.
That's not what he wanted to do, including putting on such a mask and putting on this good show. But as a part of this guild, he is like a part of this vast machine, and does not need to have a mind of his own, only to faithfully carry out its will.
Behind the lonely boat in the sea, the live broadcast is quietly filming this scene-
Things seemed to have unexpectedly unexpected, and people were talking in whispers, and some voices were complimenting the beauty of the ship's young lady:
"So that's Sir Marvier's daughter......"
"Oh my God, if it were me, I would never hand over such a young lady," the matter in the south is so big that people have more or less understood the dispute between the royal party, so there is also a lot of discussion: "...... Listen to it, and you will know that the prime minister must be uneasy. ”
"No man would ever hand over such a lady unless he wasn't a man."
"Upstairs straight man cancer."
"But why is this young lady here?"
"Ahhh
"Envy and jealousy."
And most people's talking points are not at the center of this problem, but the wandering horses know in their hearts what kind of good play the Jeffrey Redcoats have directed and acted in.
Like Fang Yu, he sorted out the cause and effect of the matter in an instant, and some of his previous doubts were also answered at this moment.
He couldn't help but look at the boy in the picture with some concern.
'The perfect curtain call—'
Canghai Guzhou looked at the gestures made to him by the staff not far away.
But the show is the curtain call, and the show has just begun. He knew in his heart that all this was really the real purpose of this live broadcast, not even to find a false legitimacy, but more importantly to show the attitude of the huge alliance behind them.
To be honest, he even felt a little tired. He is not a person who is good at this, and in front of everyone, he shows a righteous and stern appearance, but behind it is only for some hypocritical reasons.
It's just that being in this position makes people more or less have to make some trade-offs. Behind his rights is nothing but an obligation to the Sanhedrin.
He looked up at the young man, "Mr. Ed, you promised the refugees and the ransomed to fight for them, and now those people are waiting for you to make a decision, and we don't want to fight with you. On one side are your ideals. On one side is the daughter of a traitor, and I believe you will make the right choice. ”
"I'm sure you remember the oath we made together in the Stargate Declaration. At the moment of becoming the Electee, we jointly swear to respect the culture and customs of every civilization and every nation, and we try to fit into the world, rather than denying everything here with our own subjective assumptions. ”
"Of course, we have the ability to do that."
Canghai Lonely Boat looked into the other party's eyes: "Because we are the Electors, we are born in this world with the power to be superior to others. But Mr. Ed, wishful thinking only leads to revolt – we're making the world better, not worse, by working with Indigenous peoples, aren't we? ”
"I don't want to see past efforts go down the drain, leaving Indigenous people suspicious of our motives and the trust that has been built up in vain. And in this era of disputes, we should be more cautious in our choices, and it is for this reason that we choose to cooperate with them rather than to confront them. ”
"On one side is the balance of history, and on the other side is just personal emotion, I believe you can tell which is more important. There is a price to be paid for any mistake, and some have betrayed his country, and I don't think even Lady Marlan would harbor such an act. ”
He paused, "Mr. Ed, so we're still waiting for your reply. ”
Fang Yu looked at this person, frowning slightly, as if looking at a funny clown.
But of course, he knows that the other party may take the initiative to behave like this, just to use such emotions in his heart to provoke his own resistance.
They weren't actually afraid of him refusing — they might be afraid of him agreeing. Reason gave him an answer, but he still intended to follow another thought in his heart, that man should act according to his nature, which may sound ironic, but it is also part of human nature.
It's just that after the military intervenes in this matter, he must let these people understand that everyone has their own forbidden areas and bottom lines in their hearts. Again and again, these people have tested his tolerance, and he will one day settle the accounts with them for everything since the Dawn Star.
He suddenly had some hope that the military would not be able to enforce the state of control, because then he would not have to give the other party a face.
Fang Yuan's dark eyes flashed a faint flame very rarely.
"Ed."
Sylvest on the side suddenly spoke softly.
Fang Yu looked at the other party a little surprised: "Miss Sylvide, should you ......?" ”
The ship's chief officer shook her head: "I'm not that weak. ”
She turned around and looked at the lonely boat in the picture - also facing everyone who was watching the live broadcast, and suddenly said quietly:
"My father, he never betrayed the country."
"Of course," she replied contemptuously, "in the eyes of some of you, he is a traitor. But it wasn't because he had done anything unforgivable to the kingdom, on the contrary, he had a clear conscience for Kaurin-Ishurian, for our elven and dwarven allies, for me and my father, and for my family. ”
"And what is the truth, when all men are vying for power, pouring out each other for the disgusting little profit before them, and drenching the hearts of men in malice and intrigue for the sake of those ridiculous and comical clothes and tiaras. My father, on the other hand, is still moving forward for the future of this kingdom. ”
"His whereabouts are still unknown, and he has not been heard from yet, but many people remember him, but they will not remember you, and when the crown is turned to stone and the throne is reduced to sand, civilization will always remember only those who gave it glory."
"Instead of you, filthy, rat-eyed clowns, who will only take advantage of the position of the good, and use everything at their disposal, to turn into the most vicious sword, but not at the enemy, but at yourselves. Tearing the kingdom apart and plunging all who support it into misery. ”
"Kaurin-Ishurian has his own blood in his veins, and all those who truly love this land cannot bear to see this happen, but for the cold-blooded, none of this is more important than their blood-stained robes."
"You can slander your father, or you can slander all the heroes who have given for this kingdom. But no matter how clever you say, people will eventually see the truth, and everything you fear, everything you resist, but you can't stop it from coming. ”
"That is the human heart, the judgment of sin."
Sylvid finished speaking softly, and looked at the men silently, with an invisible contempt flashing in her eyes, as if everyone was ashamed of themselves.
She turned her head and glanced at Fang Yu silently, only at that moment, there was a hint of warmth in her eyes.
All the people in the community who witnessed this scene seemed a little quiet in the live broadcast room for a while.
"She's so nice—"
People can't help but think that no matter how high-sounding the Jeffrey Redcoats talk about this matter, they can't change the fact that the kingdom is divided.
Whoever drew this wound can see it, and it speaks for itself.
The courtiers were afraid, terrified, and eager to burn everything to the ground—they threw all their enemies into prison, but the power of resistance not only did not end, it tore the kingdom apart.
The glory of the days of the first kings has since been split in two, and as Sylvid said, the enemies that those men had created with their own hands because of their fears have now become a haunting specter haunting this ancient kingdom.
All the opposites that did not exist, because of artificial reasons, were erected, and it is ridiculous that they themselves carved an epitaph for their own tombstone.
It was the inscription of the fool.
What they have stolen is not legitimacy, but a crown destined to slip off their heads.
The crumbling South and North borders seem to be a true portrayal of this moment, and the flames of rebellion have surged out from under the shattered kingdom.
All the sensible eyes are just silently watching all this.
And Fang Yu came back to his senses from Sylvide's gaze, the two had already had the same mind, and naturally understood what the other party thought.
He looked at the lonely boat in front of him and replied:
"That's the answer."
"The kingdom cannot capture an innocent man."
"So Miss Sylvede has free will, she can go wherever she wants," his voice said like an anchor sinking in a sea of clouds, anchoring the restlessness and hesitation together, "if she wishes to stay on the Seven Seas Traveler, then the Seven Seas Traveler is her eternal home, and no one can change it." ”
"On my ship," replied Fang Ou, "this is the king's decree." ”
Canghai Lonely Boat listened silently without saying a word.
This statement obviously did not surprise him, it was a result that had been predicted for a long time - the character of the other party, and the people around him, what he said was even expected.
It's just that he sighed a little imperceptibly, and if he could, he even felt that what the other party said might not be wrong.
But what is happening in Kaulin-Ihurian is now difficult to tell whether it is black or white. The Guild's decision should be reasonable, as he said, how to make up for the division within the kingdom is just a difference in choice.
Wounds will heal, and it will only take time.
But many will pay for it.
And he is just an executor, Canghai Guzhou shook his head in his heart. Then he raised his head and asked rhetorically in a flat tone, "So this is considered a collapse?" ”
"There's no value in negotiating in the first place."
Fang Yu replied.
"Okay," the boat nodded, "then good luck to you, maybe you have your own judgment, but we also have to fulfill our obligations." Our mission is to capture Miss Sylvede-Albert ......"
He stopped, an idea in his heart uncontrollably welled up, he looked at the other party, and blurted out without thinking: "I must remind you that there are now seven detachments belonging to different guilds in the entire North, and they are all in action......"
"In addition, the kingdom's fleet is also located in the Rainbow Sky Gorge, and more than fourteen capital ships are quietly moored there. And at the same time, the kingdom has given orders to Elpahim and Gullah, Mr. Ed, do you really think you have a clear understanding of the current situation? ”
"It's hard to imagine what you're going to face next, and maybe it's going to leave an indelible impression on you for the rest of your life. And what you can see, you may never experience again. ”
"It's a force you can't fight, and it comes from a few guild alliances, more than seventeen guilds, a kingdom, three subordinate fleets, two archons, and several knights."
"You know, what I mean?"
He shook his head slightly, "Okay, that's all I have to say. ”
Fang Yu was watching the picture go black in front of him.
Above the community, there was silence, and even the most sluggish people were reacting to something.
People thought they were going to see a farce, but they didn't expect the Descendants of Flor to come for real this time, and the 'big operation' they had predicted from the beginning was going to be live-streamed, and now it really became a big operation.
A lot of information has been summed up, like a trickling stream, converging into a mighty river. In the midst of that information, days ago, even weeks, the fleets of the Descendants of Flor had left the Bay of Giants, from the Rainbow Sky Gap, from every anchorage they had been anchored in.
And it was only at this moment that people finally understood where those fleets went.
They all gathered here and came to this place.
In the skies above the North, tonight is destined to be sleepless—
"Something is wrong."
One by one, the news was passed on to the community or through various channels.
Only then did it become clear that the Descendants of Flor had not been an invitation.
It's an ultimatum.
But behind the mobilization of days to weeks, are their opponents really matched it?
In any case, perhaps after this night, many people remembered the name of one more adventure group.
……
"Good job," the staff was congratulating Canghai Guzhou, they were not the members of the Jeffrey Redcoat team, but the BBK system, so there was no difference between up and down, only gave a thumbs up to Canghai Guzhou: "The last few sentences are not on the script, but the on-the-spot performance is really amazing." ”
The leader said with some unfinished words: "The momentum came out at once, and we need to create such an image, powerful, incomparable, and completely described just right." It's just that there may be some secrets, but it's not a big problem, and if the opponent's volume is placed in that place, even if you tell them, they can't do anything. ”
He patted Canghai Guzhou's shoulder: "It's not a loss that the guild fancies as a genius, and we will cooperate again if we have the opportunity." The guild is on the ascending path, and it will create a group of star players in the future, I think you can compare it with KUN. ”
Hearing the name KUN, Canghai Guzhou silently glanced at each other.
He understood what these people meant, but he was reluctant to refute it. The reason why he said those words actually had nothing to do with them, he just wanted to remind the other party.
That's an opponent to be taken seriously, and to beat such an opponent, he's used to be upright and beat them head-on. But being upright was already out of the question, but he at least hoped that his guild would win a little more glory.
Not far away, Jory was frowning and watching everything here, and Canghai Lonely Boat seemed to realize the gaze of his old partner, and also looked in that direction.
Jory glanced at him and shook his head. Many people think that he is a remnant of a previous era, an ancient figure from a decade or more dynasty, old-fashioned and inflexible, and this is indeed the case. In their time, it wasn't without publicity and hype, but the guild's supporters in 'reality' at least knew right from wrong.
At that time, even the top guilds, even existences like the current top ten, did not dare to rashly wade into the minefield - although capital is the same in any era, they will also do some dishonorable things behind their backs for profit, but no one will put such a thing on the table.
Today's fans, under the guidance of their hearts, have become so fanatical that they have lost their minds and lost their positions.
As for when it began, perhaps it was the Great War that was the watershed.
During that war, did they really seem right to force the Free Guild called 'Mount Covenant' to merge into the descendants of Flor?
Eventually, the tyranny led to a revolt, and the mighty Covenant Mountain movement swept through the entire Third Division, and after that maybe everything was no different, but maybe everything had already changed. They won that war, but what about after that?
Justice or not, does it really have some significance for super sports?
Those old-fashioned dogmas may also restrain people from maintaining a sense of reverence and not falling into arrogance and arrogance.
But they may have dismantled it all with their own hands—
Canghai Guzhou walked over, looked at his old partner, and understood what the other party was thinking.
He was silent for a moment, and then said, "This actually means the above, the purpose is not to give people the truth. ”
"Of course, on the other hand, there are also operational needs, and the last time the Flor Descendants made such a large-scale transfer was more than a year ago. Since the defeat of the Turbid Domain, except for Silver Veslan and Elite, who performed well, the rest of the top ten have been disgraced, but Silver Veslan is on the side of the Alliance, so they are naturally eager to save their reputation. ”
"What's the point of showing off your might to your own people?" Qiao Li shook his head: "Besides, if you use power to suppress people, will it really save your reputation?" ”
"You'd better not let those people hear that," replied the Lonely Boat, "times are different now, Jory, and people want to see strength rather than gentleness." As long as you can control the situation, then everything you are doing is right. ”
Jory looked at him.
"But what if you can't control it?"
Canghai Guzhou sneered: "Then they will abandon you like a broom." ”
……
Fang Yu sat silently in his place, thinking about something.
But at some point, a somewhat cold hand had been shaken, and he looked up in amazement, just in time to see Sylvid's gentle gaze.
It's just that unlike the previous impassionedness, the ship's face was even slightly pale, and the hand holding him seemed to have lost its temperature, and it was as cold as a piece of ice.
Fang Yu's heart moved.
"Don't worry, they can't do anything to you, the Seven Seas Brigade isn't as bad as they say."
But Sylvid shook her head.
She silently stared at the sea of clouds outside the porthole, and suddenly asked, "Ed, father, will he really wait for us behind that door, behind that sea of clouds, is it really the gate to the third world?" ”
Fang Yu heard a rare hesitation in the other party's tone, and he turned his head to look at the other party's face, which was like a silver crescent.
He thought for a moment and nodded:
"If Sir Marvi is a true hero."
"Of course he will."
"How can a man break his promise to you?"
Sylvide was stunned and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
Probably the only person who would comfort her so much, she turned her head and looked at her captain silently, and her blue eyes couldn't help but show a hint of relief.
She smiled and said:
"If only he really waited for us."
"Then I'll take you to him, and when that time comes."
Fang Yu was slightly stunned, and his face couldn't help but turn a little red.
……
