"Miss Betty, why are you here?"

Fang Yu asked a little surprised, and at the same time took a step back, and his hand subconsciously pressed on the drawer of the workbench - there was a hand hammer in it. Although he didn't think that a civilian girl would pose any threat to him, he was still careful.

Bei Ji's eyes were slightly hesitant, as if she was uneasy and had some purpose, her eyes were looking for something on the workbench behind Fang Yuan, and finally landed directly on the earth source crystal soaked in the reactor:

“…… I know of a place where there are a lot of these crystals. ”

"What?"

Fang Yu couldn't help but ask.

But after Beji said this, he didn't say a word, and only looked at him with his mouth closed, and his brown eyes showed a sense of determination.

Fang Yu couldn't help but be a little confused, he had never seen such a situation before, but at least his hand was released from the side of the drawer, because he realized that the other party was not a spy or a spy. But he thought that this young lady, you must be a little too bold, a person sneaked into someone else's alchemy workshop, and was found out and said such nonsensical words as if nothing happened? If you want to change your temper, I'm afraid you've already called someone in to arrest you.

He suddenly remembered that he had discovered that this girl was secretly observing how he was using these Earth Source Crystals these days, and then connected to the other party's previous words, and suddenly realized what the other party was trying to express.

"Miss Becky, you're saying that you know where the Art Battles Guild got these Earth Source Crystals?"

But the girl looked at him quietly with brown eyes, pursed her mouth, and said nothing. Fang Yu didn't quite understand where the other party's strange character came from, he almost thought that he had met a female version of the box, he was not very good at guessing dumb riddles, but after being stunned for a while, he still reacted:

"Miss Becky, you mean, you tell us where that place is, so that we can get your father out?"

But he shook his head, "I'm afraid not, Miss Becky, Tuyuan Jing is important to me, but it's not worth the risk of returning to Orenze. We also regret about your father, but we can only say that there is nothing we can do. ”

Betty listened to him and was silent for a long time. Just when Fang Yu thought that she would not speak anymore and was about to find a reason to send the other party out, the taciturn girl suddenly spoke:

"I don't want to go to Kailano."

"What did you say?"

Betty pursed her lips and repeated in a low but affirmative voice:

"I don't want to go to Kailano, I want to go to Goland."

……

"Clear," Sylved said with a smile as she placed a steaming cup of black tea in front of him, "she has a brother who is an alchemist who has left Orenze for Gollander for several years, but has been in correspondence with them. I think it's human nature that in a sudden disaster, the first reaction is to ask your brother for help. ”

Fang Yu picked up the teacup.

Baggins, the big cat man, and Miss Atira all gathered in the captain's room, and Luo Hao closed the door from the outside with his backhand and walked in, because he didn't plan to make this matter public, so Fang Yu didn't alarm too many people.

"How did she get into the alchemy lab?"

Baggins asked.

"The emergency exit from the crew cabin walkway to the communications room, where the ladder is piled up with debris, and God knows how she managed to climb in?" Luo Hao said as he walked over, and couldn't help but shake his head.

The lion-man paladin was manicure with a file in his paws, and he couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "What an interesting little girl." ”

"Mr. Red, you're still smiling."

"It's just a trivial matter, take it easy, Luo Hao."

"I can't take it easy, I think it's quite suspicious." Luo Hao shook his head, "Even if she really wants to go to Goland, there is a better opportunity to bring it up, isn't a few hundred kilograms of earth source crystals enough to go to the north for a ferry ticket, ten round trips are more than enough." ”

"Take 10,000 steps back, doesn't she know that places like the alchemy workshop are forbidden for outsiders to enter and leave, and the rhetoric after that can be regarded as wanting to cover up."

Fang Yu was stunned when he heard this, he looked at this conspiracy theorist with suspicion, saying that this guy usually behaves abnormally, and after getting acquainted with them, he often preaches that there is a big conspiracy behind Xingmen Port.

Of course, since joining the Star Gate Harbor Guard, the other party has not brought out the topic of layers of corpses.

He used to be a die-hard BBK fan, but now he has completely switched sides, telling the Mount Covenant conspiracy theory over and over again as a story with Sky Blue and Ai Xiaoxiao.

Of course, he didn't say anything wrong about this.

"It's not that exaggerated," Fang Yu shook his head, "she knows that there are people in the alchemy laboratory. ”

"That's a plot against you, Captain."

"Speak human words."

"Ed, there's nothing wrong with being careful."

"Okay, so what do you say?"

"In my opinion, they should be disembarked immediately."

Fang Yu rolled his eyes, "Are you crazy?" I've already made other people's 'ferry tickets' into a construct! ”

"Then send them to Kailanao as agreed, and disembark at Kailanao."

Fang Yu looked at the fat man with a little speechless eyes, feeling that this guy was completely out of business.

He looked back at Sylvid and Miss Attila and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"The captain is interested in that place?" Sylvid was keenly aware of his intentions.

"Did she say what that place was?"

Sylvid shook her head, "Miss Bette's mouth is tight. ”

It's not just tight, it's just that he doesn't say a word, Fang Yu has ever seen the most stingy iron rooster, and he can't compare to this young lady who doesn't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles.

But he was really interested in that place, if it was true, of course. But it feels like it should be ** not far from ten, he has actually been curious about where the quality of this batch of earth source crystals in the hands of the Art Dispute Guild comes from so high, and it is difficult for the purity of the source crystals in the general crystal associated ore to reach this level, unless there is another source.

Therefore, Fang Yu vaguely felt that the other party might not be lying.

However, this matter is still two things to say, although Luo Hao is exaggerating, but there is also a certain truth, he decided to take a look and talk about it, and it is not too late to discuss this matter when he arrives at Kailanao.

Fang Ou looked at Miss Atira again, and of all of them, he still trusted this sister-like figure the most.

"What does Miss Attila think?"

Miss Elf replied without thinking about it, "Ed has the final say." ”

So he kicked the ball back again.

Of course, Fang Yu understood that Miss Elf was by no means shirking her responsibility, she might really think so in her heart.

However, the phrase itself contained many meanings, and Fang knew that Miss Attila would bring it up if she felt that something was wrong.

She didn't object, in fact, it was already tantamount to acquiescence.

The vote was three to one, so Luo Hao's proposal was killed in seconds without any suspense.

Only the big cat man still smiled, "I haven't voted yet, Ed." ”

"You're also 3-2, Mr. Red."

"Hey, Ed, although the result will not change, the process of expressing opinions is also important, isn't it?"

"Okay," Fang Yu was a little surprised, "Mr. Red, do you support Luo Hao's opinion?" ”

"No, I support Miss Atira."

Fang Yuan: "......"

Then you talk!

……

Finally, Walnut, who was also on the ship, came to explain to them: "I'm sorry, Captain Ed, Betty was born in Orenze, she hasn't left there a few times since she was so old, and the people she knows on weekdays are only us...... So she probably didn't know anything about the Kukai or the rules of the ship, and if there was any offense, it was probably because we didn't make it clear. If you want to be punished, please punish it below. ”

But Fang Yu didn't intend to lock anyone up, he only shook his head and said that this matter was nothing.

But as the big cat man said, he also thought the weird girl was quite interesting. She probably didn't know that the ticket she paid for was more than enough to go to Goland, even to distant Rotao.

The Seven Seas Traveler follows the Stairway of the Old World all the way north, passing through the Holy Mountain of Eldron and then entering North Korn, although it is not necessary to go to the dangerous Goland, but as long as they are disembarked nearby, the land around the left side of the royal capital is quite safe, it can be said that the first novice area of Kaulin-Ishurian, they should be able to reach Goland safely by escorting them by walnuts underground.

But only if they cross Mount Piried and enter the second peak of the ladder of the old world, and by the time they reach the lake of Aube's tears, the descendants of Flor should know what they are going to do next. The other side will definitely lay a siege near the Kailanao Pass, and if the Seven Seas Traveler can't break through, it can only take the pirate route of Cape St. Huyen, which will be far from North Cowling.

Therefore, Fang Yu didn't think about this matter for the time being, and waited until everything was settled.

The rest of the voyage was uneventful, and nothing like this happened. After breaking through the Great Rift Valley, the Seven Seas Traveler headed straight for the Lake of Tears of Aube region, which was not far upstream. It was calm along the way, presumably because the battle not so long ago worked and left the pursuers lingering behind.

The only battle they encountered was a group of violent wind elements that followed after the shower, and this battle was the most difficult battle they had won in recent times, Tang Xin and Ai Xiaoxiao both upgraded in the battle, reaching level thirteen. The Wind Elemental left them a batch of Wind Elemental Crystals after the battle, enriching the ship's reserves.

Then they entered the territory of the lizardmen, where the remaining companions of the walnuts were waiting for them, bringing with them the remaining earth crystals and news about the lake of Tears of Obei.

Since the Fenris Incident, the lizardmen have become an undesirable race in the Nogones region, and most of the ostracized lizardmen have had to leave the human world, and most of them have returned to the lake of Aube's tears.

As tensions between the Kaurin-Ishurian Alliance and the Lizards grew, the Lizards closed off access to and from the Lake of Aube's Tears and sealed off the airspace.

While they still allow merchant ships and Elector's expedition ships to enter for a large toll, all warships belonging to the Kaurin-Ishurian side, as well as the windboats of the major guilds under the Hyper Athletic Alliance, are forbidden to enter the area.

This gave the Seven Seas Brigade a chance to survive, and about a week before the end of the rainy season, the Seven Seas Traveler anchored into the Lake of Tears of Aube area and entered a lizard town called Pachwa.

The Lizards have three towns on the shores of Lake Aube's Tears, of which Pacheva is the largest, and although the Lizardmen have only tribes and no kingdoms, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is the capital of the Lake of Aobei's Tears region.

However, the Seven Seas Traveler was moored above the shores of the lake, and from a distance Pačva was seen only with a low wall, and the city was lined with roofs of animal skin tents, which surrounded the few stone buildings in the center of the city.

It's hardly a city, it's just a settlement at best.

Towering temples and trapezoidal pyramids reminded him of the Sinsas ruins he had seen in Fenris, and further afield were the rainforest, where Pačwa seemed to be surrounded by jade.

Along the shore of the lake, there is also a small area of human settlement, mostly wooden houses built on stilts on the water, connected by trestle bridges, and distributed in patches.

There are inns, bars, prostitutes and mercenaries, and adventurers who enter the rainforest spend their days and nights in this place, and of course a temporary home for an adventurer's guild.

In fact, there is an astrological tower, a meeting place for alchemists, but it is mostly filled with magicians and elementals, because alchemists rarely come to such a poor country.

There are also shops selling strange things from the rainforest, such as skulls from ancient sacrificial pits, voodoo dolls, arrow frog eyeballs, animal furs and plant roots.

When I first went, it was a novelty, but Tianlan, Ai Xiaoxiao, and Ji Ta got tired of going around a few times, and there was nothing valuable in it.

The lizardmen also mastered the art of building windboats at the end of the last century, and there are several shipyards along the lake that can produce serious windboats, albeit in harsh conditions.

In a hurry, Fang Yu hired some lizardmen boatmen to help repair the Seven Seas Traveler, and agreed with them to pay them silver. The lizardmen are fanatical advocates of precious metals such as gold and silver, which are the hardest currencies here.

However, they rarely calculated the exchange rate of gold and silver outside, so in the past, when the price of silver was low, adventurers exchanged silver for gold, and vice versa, and over time, the lizards also found themselves at a loss, so they issued a decree prohibiting outsiders from exchanging gold and silver in the area of the Lake of Tears of Aube.

Although it could not prohibit underground trading, it still stopped the outflow of gold and silver. However, adventurers still have a historical habit of replacing Rysel with silver to trade with the lizardmen when the price of silver is low.

Fang Yu is naturally not exempt from vulgarity, firstly, in order to experience this peculiar customs, and secondly, this is also Sylvid's suggestion.

In his free time, he likes to sit at a bar on the shore.

He was a big fan of the fruit-brewed fermented drink in the area, and although the big cat man laughed at it as a child's drink, he had been insensitive to the so-called adult drink ever since he got drunk in the elven dwelling.

Of course, this was only one of the reasons he was here, but more importantly, it was a place to find out the news, and it didn't take long for them to actually be recognized—mainly the unique image of the Seven Seas Traveler and the Big Cat Man.

People call him Little Ed, and they'll say, "Little Captain Ed, you're here again, would you like a glass of your juice?" ”

Fang Yuan would argue loudly, "It's fruit wine." ”

People laughed, and the big sisters in the bar would throw him a wink or something, which made him red-faced.

However, as soon as Sylvid came, these warblers and Yanyan automatically retreated, and looked at the ship's young lady with a look of envy and jealousy.

But overall, these are jokes, and they are highly respected, because after the lizardmen closed off the area, most of the people who could come here were free callers.

In the eyes of most of the Free Electors, those who can fight against the Descendants of Flor have to give a thumbs up, and those who are on the grey list are even more heroes. Especially after Mount Covenant, the confrontation between the North and the South is intensifying today.

People will take the initiative to talk to them about some outside topics, tell them where the ship of the Descendants of Flor has gone today, and some news about the interior of the Lake of Aube's Tears, customs, etc.

Especially since people knew that this little Ed would come to buy some strange biological specimens, those specimens are not difficult magical creatures to deal with, at best they are just animals and plants that inhabit the area, and they can be sold for money?

However, Fang Yu only took the opportunity to investigate the ecology of Aobei's Tears, so as to provide him with rich information.

He walked down the familiar aisle, greeted the customers in the bar, and sat down in his old position, looking left and right to see if anyone had come to sell him anything.

The owner of the bar was a lizardman who had inherited the coldness common to all cold-bloods - except for the one they had met in Orenze, of course - and the other had only one look at him, and then poured him a full glass of cider.

The sorcerer woman sitting next to him looked at him with interest and asked with a smile, "Little Captain Ed, I have something to sell you, how about it, are you interested?" ”

Fang Yu didn't dare to look at the low-cut leather armor that the other party was wearing, and the snow-white skin exposed on it, and replied with a red face, "Lady Esali, please don't make fun of me. ”

He knew that the other party was probably making fun of herself again, and that it was either herself, or the key to the hotel room door or something.

"It's no joke," said Essally, with a smile, "it's true, I have a message, how about it, to sell you only a thousand miles." That's the exclusive news. ”

Fang Yu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, although other people in the bar often sold him news, but most of them symbolically charged a hundred lissell, worth a thousand liscellet, which couldn't help but arouse his curiosity.

He looked at the other with some surprise.

"How's that, are you interested? Come over a little bit, and I'll whisper to you. ”

Fang Yu did not doubt him, and leaned over honestly, only to find Esali close to his ear and a playful and gentle blow into his face.

Frightened, he almost jumped out of his chair, but Essally stepped back first, slapping the table and laughing.

She laughed and wiped her tears and said, "Okay, okay, don't be angry, little Mr. Ed, just kidding you." You know the lizards are hoarding supplies, right? ”

Fang Yu was a little at a loss, staring at the other party angrily.

The situation in Nognes is so tense that the lizardmen are preparing for war, both reactive and active.

However, it is widely believed that the fight will not be able to start, because the kingdom is preoccupied with the rebellion in the south. If Kaulin-Ishurian didn't take the initiative to attack the Lake of Tears of Obei, most of the lizards would not dare to fight it.

But the perception of the outside world is the perception of the outside world, and in the past few days in the Lake of Tears of Aube, Fang Yu can still clearly feel the tense atmosphere here.

Esali looked at him, smiled, and said a little mysteriously: "It is said that the lizards have recently gotten a batch of source crystals from nowhere, I guess they may have discovered a new vein, how about it, are you interested?" ”

Fang Yu was slightly startled, he was now allergic to the source crystal, and when he heard these three words, he couldn't help but think of the matter of the Art Battle Guild.
