The Count's eyes were on everyone, especially the traditional allies of the Sirin-Sibicca family, but although everyone was silent, the look on their faces revealed their thoughts—the Rose Workshop was so important to the Southern Alliance that most people would not want to hand it over to an outsider—especially since they were a 'Chosen One' who could not be trusted.

However, Count Cillin-Sbicca had already expected this, and when he thought of it, he was slightly certain. He looked at the young man again, who was nodding lightly at him.

So the Count turned his head and clapped his hands lightly at everyone, drawing their eyes in this direction. Only then did he speak in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Rose Workshop has been passed down to me as the result of the joint efforts of ten generations of the Xilin-Sibika family, and of course there is also the hard work of the Southern Alliance, and I know this better than any of you. ”

He paused, as if to let his words settle in everyone's hearts: "But it is not for nothing that I chose Rollin as the next heir of the Rose Workshop. I invite you here today to reveal a secret to you. ”

People couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this.

But when the Count turned back, at his signal, the young man came forward and took out a thing and put it in the Earl's hand.

There was silence in the hall for a while. In the eyes of everyone, it was a pitch-black, angular octahedron, a bit like the many smaller Annihilator QV700, so small that it could be held in one hand.

But it is obviously much more elaborate than the Annihilator, and the craftsmanship above is not a product of this era. It was only before the time that the craftsmanship of the Noumerin elves could reach such an almost artistic level.

And that's undoubtedly a flexible build.

But the vast majority of people in the hall had never seen it.

"This is ......" Only Fang Yu was taken aback.

Because he had only seen this thing a while ago, in the Hall of a Thousand Gates, it was one of those two types of battle goblins—the Pitch Black Star. It's just that after the illusion disappeared at that time, the two types of battle goblins were not preserved, and everything at that time was just like a dream.

Later, Arquette reappeared in the design of the battle goblin, which was somewhat similar to the former, and it made him realize that the battle goblins in the illusion might have really existed. I just never dreamed that I would see the body of the dark star in this place.

Only if you have fought this kind of clockwork goblin will you know how powerful it is. If the silver battle goblins he controlled in the illusion were still technically traceable, then the technical concept of this kind of black battle goblins could almost be said to be ahead of the modern alchemy era.

He almost subconsciously wanted to take two steps forward, to see for himself how this thing was structured.

But fortunately, the other party's following words pulled him back to reality.

The Earl looked at the dark and heavy structure in his hand, and said with some emotion: "This thing was discovered by my father and I thirty years ago in the ruins of Noumerin, but so far, I have not figured out the concept and thinking of the Noumerin elves to design it. ”

"Not even the idea," the Count held up the dark star, "and it is very difficult to manipulate it. ”

Sure enough, he closed his eyes and gently raised his left hand, which was wearing a metal glove. But the pitch-black structure only floated slightly in his hand by half an inch, and then quickly fell.

This scene surprised everyone in the hall.

Count Sirin-Sbicca is the first elf envoy of the Southern Alliance, and although elven envoys rarely manipulate structures other than elven humanoids, that doesn't mean they can't. In fact, the powerful computing power of most elves makes it just as easy to manipulate other flexible builds.

But this small construct is so difficult to manipulate under the control of the other party.

People can't help but whisper:

“…… This—This must be a relic of the time of the Noumerin Elves. ”

"Yes, only the Noumerin elves with magical abilities can manipulate such a flexible structure, right?"

"It's a pity that we humans are not born with the adaptability of ether, so we can only rely on core crystals for transformation."

These alchemists were all amazed by the technological crystallization of the Noumerin era, but they were also a little curious, what was the secret that the other party was going to reveal? If you just talk about this structure, it will definitely not reach the level of 'secret'.

Not many relics from the Noumerin era are unearthed every year, but a lot has been accumulated.

Even if this one is more exquisite, it is just an 'antiquity'.

But at this time, the earl whispered to the young man beside him: "Rollin, you come." ”

The young man stepped forward, took the pitch-black structure, and raised the metal glove in his right hand, placing it in the palm of his hand.

The Earl turned around at this moment and spoke aloud: "You have lived in this southern land for generations, and you should know more about the history and legends of this land than I do. You should remember that we have a well-known legend about the Mark of the Dragon—"

"The Mark of the Dragon?"

There were a few whispers in the hall.

Fang Yu was feeling a little puzzled about this unfamiliar term. At this time, the other party had spoken again: "Legend has it that the magic abilities of the elves of Noumerin in the past came from the teaching of the dragon, so they called it the mark of the dragon. ”

"And about this, there is an ancient prophecy in the South, which has been passed down among us alchemists for centuries," he suddenly whispered, "The Lost Secret awaits master, and when disaster strikes, the Chosen One of the Stars will come, and the Chosen One of the Spires will return to the Seal of the Dragon—"

There was a muffled voice in the hall.

Almost everyone was repeating the words.

As for this prophecy, it has been passed down for generations among the alchemists of Eldorphine. Even Falais, who was in the crowd, as an alchemist of the Artisan Guild, had heard of this:

The prophesied minaret is believed to be the Tower of Eldorphine, but others believe that it is the Tower of the Seasons in Assyria, the Hill of the Tree, Rotao, and Kaulin-Iherion.

The former believes that the Eldorphine Minaret existed before the birth of Kaulin-Ishurian, and as a legacy of the Noumerin Elves, the prophesied Minaret is perfectly justified as a reference to it. But the latter's supporters also have valid reasons, after all, the guardian of the Summer Tower is a dragon himself.

The most famous three-headed dragon of the centuries is none other than Nicol Bolas, Torragotos, and Nevad.

Now Nicol Bolas is history, Toragotos has just died in the desert, and the only one left with three dragons is the Lord of the Cloud Dragon. At this moment, people couldn't help but subconsciously think that the master of Nevad had just left the Holy Bow Peak not long ago-

Is there some coincidence in this?

That Lord of the Holy Bow Peak, as rumored, has really chosen a suitable heir?

But Count Sirin Sibika did not mention this, and only replied: "Now that the prophesied catastrophe has befallen Fenris Island, and news has come from the north, the dragon witch seems to have been resurrected and ready to move......"

"Now the signs of prophecy have been revealed, and you all know that this prophecy was left by the ancient Noumerin Elves, and is associated with the mark of the dragon and its magical legacy. So at the moment of the disaster, I already had a guess in my mind - did the second half of the prophecy come to us as well? I've even heard that the lizards are looking for the stars of the world, which may be a confirmation of this suspicion. ”

"And until I met Rollin."

He looked at the young man.

The young man raised his hand slightly, and in a buzzing sound—and the black clockwork elf in his hand had no actuation mechanism—it levitated automatically. Under his guidance, the dark star was slowly flying from one side to the other.

And it was that moment.

Fang Yu saw that in the palm of the other party's palm, a black light actually rose.

He suddenly felt his heart pound and dizzy, and he almost took a step forward and knelt on the ground, but he hurriedly reached out and pressed his chest, and only after settling his mind did he stabilize his body. But his face was already pale, and he was drenched in cold sweat.

In a moment, there were two warm powers, one in front and one behind, to protect his spiritual world. "Mr. Knight, hold your mind." Miss Tata's calm voice was coming from the bottom of her heart. And the other force, although silent, silently guarded his spiritual defense.

Fang Yu immediately understood where this second power came from, and his mind sank into his consciousness world, only to see that the half-dragon girl was still sleeping peacefully, not moving. "Thanks, little one." Fang Yu couldn't help but whisper in his heart.

The power immediately became somewhat kind to him.

Only then did he open his eyes and raise his head, only to see that no one else in the hall seemed to feel anything unusual, just staring at this scene and holding ******* breath of the Spirit Legacy! ”

"Mark of the Dragon!"

Such voices are coming and going.

Rollin glanced at everyone, and then withdrew the pitch-black star.

The Count nodded at him with satisfaction, then turned back to the crowd and said, "As you can see, Rollin was born with the ability to manipulate the magic guide of the Noumerin Elves, which seems to confirm that prophecy, which is exactly what the Dragon's Mark is capable of. ”

He paused, then added, "This ancient prophecy has been passed down for generations in our southern realms, and today we have the privilege of witnessing it come true, and this is at a time when the Alliance is in turmoil—perhaps it is the guidance that the Inheritance and Guardian of Knowledge, Lord Angina, has given us in the dark. ”

"That's why I finally made the decision to make Rollin the next successor to the Rose Workshop. Of course, he still needs to be sharpened, so he needs your support even more. ”

There was silence in the hall.

Even Ander Uriel was a little reluctant. "It's really not to blame the old man for not working hard, I've done my best, little guy, and the little girl of the Ma Wei family," he shook his head. Although his stupid student also has some talents, compared with the characters in this kind of prophecy, it is not a little bit of a gap.

How deeply rooted that prophecy was in the hearts of the people in the south, as a person from the south, he naturally couldn't be clearer. Ironically, he joked about it with his old friend in the afternoon, but he didn't expect to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.

"It seems that the rumors in the Hall of a Thousand Doors are true." Falaise said to him meaningfully.

Ander couldn't help but shake his head.

……

In the corner of the hall, 'Ms. Papamo' watched this scene from a distance, and couldn't help but say, "This guy is too powerful." What kind of hero, who killed Toragotos again, and is still a prophet. ”

He shook his head: "I think this time the captain is hopeless. ”

The Paparal looked at the others, "Why don't we think of another idea, then the Fairy Heart must be necessary?" ”

There was silence.

Tianlan, Jita, and Luo Yu all looked a little worried, while Ai Xiaoxiao looked nervous.

Only Tang Xin and Sylvid looked in that direction, and their eyes flashed with thought. And it was at this time that Fang Yu suddenly said, "Miss Sylvide, there is something wrong with that person. ”

Sylvid was slightly stunned and looked back at him: "What?" ”

"I can't tell," Fang Yu shook his head a little weakly, remembering the previous scene before replying, "I felt a similar aura of power in him before. I don't know what the dragon mark left by the Noumerin Elf will be, but it's certainly not that power-"

"A similar aura of power under Fenris?"

"I've only felt similar powers in Nicol Bolas, Torragotos, and that lizard god."

"Dark Aether." Sylvide's eyes flickered slightly, and she immediately reacted: "You're saying that he may have an affair with the Dragon Worship Sect, that is-"

Fang Yu nodded: "Toragotos may not be dead. ”

"Ah, then, isn't he lying? We must expose him! Ai Xiaoxiao couldn't help but exclaim.

"But the problem is," Tang Xin turned around at this time: "How to expose it?" ”

"Isn't it easy?" Ai Xiaoxiao replied as a matter of course: "Didn't he use dark power, as long as my cousin stood up and exposed him." ”

"Little princess, your thinking is really simple," Tang Xin shook his head lightly: "I guess it's not that easy, except for this pigeon before, who could sense that it was a dark force?" Ai Xiaoxiao and I are okay, what about you? ”

Everyone shook their heads.

"I don't know much about the power system of your world, but what is obvious is that the other party dares to exert such power in front of everyone, which means that he must have something to rely on," Tang Xin calmly analyzed: "Not only can you not prove this, but you also can't prove that he is not the person in the prophecy." ”

The crowd couldn't help but be silent, they couldn't prove that it was a dark force, and therefore it couldn't prove that it wasn't the power of the dragon's mark; And apart from the Mark of the Dragon, what other power can reproduce the alchemy of the Noumerin Elves?

Actually, it's not nothing.

Sylvede and Fang Ou both thought of the same place at this moment.

"Attribute-free crystals."

A type of crystal can be said to be an elven heritage, and coincidentally, this is also an alchemy technique that mortals can master.

Even the mortals it refers to, even those who have no attributive fitness at all, once it is popularized, will have an effect no less than the magic that the dragons of yesteryear taught to the elves of Noumerim.

This may be the 'mark of the dragon' left by the Nome elves to mortals.

Fang Yu couldn't help but have a strange thought in his heart, was what he encountered in the elven ruins a coincidence?

What does the so-called Lord of the Minaret mean?

He came back to his senses and stared into Sylvid's shallow eyes, which was evident in both of them. There is no doubt that as long as he can come up with a crystal elven inheritance, it can show that the other party may not necessarily be the one who prophesied.

Because at least at this moment, there are already two kinds of 'dragon marks'.

"No," but Tang Xin obviously saw his thoughts, and replied categorically: "A type of crystal is the most important secret for you, cousin, and no one can reveal it except within this team. At least temporarily, otherwise it will only lead to more trouble. ”

Her tone was so resolute that it left no room for anything.

Even Tianlan couldn't help but pull Jita on the side, and muttered in a low voice, "Brother Ed's sister is so powerful." ”

Kita nodded approvingly.

Fang Yu also nodded when he heard this, he naturally understood this in his heart, especially since this secret could not be revealed in front of people related to the Dark Dragon.

Although he had such thoughts for a while, he quickly calmed down. The secret of a crystal must be kept until it can have a greater meaning, not to be used here to fight for ownership of the Rose Workshop.

"So what should we do now?" Ai Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask at this time, listening to the tone, he had completely regarded himself as his own person of the Seven Seas Brigade, but he didn't see it at all.

Sylvid frowned slightly, and replied softly, "Since the captain believes that this person has an affair with the Dark Dragon, then Drissy's father cannot be ruled out as a suspect, and the current situation has changed somewhat from what we thought before, and we need to re-plan it." ”

"Drise's father?" Fang Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Sylvide, is it a bit too much for you to doubt like this?" ”

He had a pretty good impression of Dressy and the Uncrowned Crown.

"It's just a possibility, Captain." Sylvid replied.

"But ......"

Sylvide only smiled: "The captain is good at everything, but it's too easy to trust strangers." ”

"Especially women." Tang Xin suddenly made up for it.

"Sugar Candy, what do you say?" Fang Yu was embarrassed.

Sylvid only smiled lightly, "But it doesn't matter, after all, we can act as the eyes of the captain - not to mention that in my background, a suspicious gaze is always necessary, and I will take care of this for the captain." ”

Fang Yu glanced at his ship's officer, and always felt that the other party would be too tired like this. He couldn't help but think of the other party's acquaintance with himself, and when she first met the traveler's rest, did she look at him with the same gaze?

But although the ship's master did not have the ability to communicate with his heart like Tata, it seemed as if she could always understand his thoughts, and then she smiled lightly and asked softly, "The captain thinks of himself again?" ”

"Huh?"

"Don't worry," Tang Xin suddenly replied coldly, "I guess Miss Sylvede definitely didn't suspect you." ”

"Why, Sugar Candy?" Fang Yu was puzzled, is he so special?

"Because you're so stupid," Tang Xin replied, "I wouldn't suspect a fool." ”

This answer caused everyone to chuckle, and the originally somewhat uneasy atmosphere eased a lot.

Fang Yu was very embarrassed, and was about to ask Sylvid what his plans were, so as to change the subject. But at this moment, everyone suddenly saw the uncrowned crown coming from the direction of the crowd, and the young man returned to the crowd, still followed by Drise.

"Miss Sylwell, we're back." The Uncrowned Crown spoke.

"Drise, do you see the gentleman?" Sylvade asked.

The latter nodded.

Fang Yu watched the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but be a little confused, not knowing what they were talking about. It's just that he suddenly remembered the look in the eyes of the uncrowned crown before leaving, and couldn't help asking: "Uncrowned, what was the situation before, why did you and Delise leave without making a sound?" ”

Sylvid then turned around and said, "Because Drise's father is already planning to marry Drissy to the young man named Rollin—"

"What!?" Everyone except Sylvest was taken aback. How old is Dress, is this kind of marriage legal? But Fang Yu paused for a moment before he remembered that this was Aitalia, not his own country.

But Rollin is also a Chosen One, and according to the Stargate Declaration, the Chosen One must first act in accordance with the laws of the country where he is located on Earth. But it was the Uncrowned Crown who replied hoarsely, "It's engagement, but the nobles of Aitaria rarely break the marriage contract." ”

Fang Yu paused for a moment, looked at the other party, and suddenly felt a little reminisced. He was a little surprised in his heart, and couldn't help but ask, "Uncrowned, you and Miss Drissy?" ”

The Uncrowned Crown blushed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Ed, it's not what you think. ”

This made Tianlan take aback: "Uncrowned, you, you and Miss Driss?" De, Delisi, she is talented, talented...... Uncrowned, I didn't expect you to be such a person! ”

She was so frightened that she hurriedly took Kita's little hand and took a step back.

The uncrowned crown is at a loss.

Fang Yu also looked at the uncrowned crown seriously and said, "Uncrowned, between you and Miss Delisi?" ”

The Uncrowned Crown hurriedly shook his head: "I do like Dress, but there is nothing out of the ordinary. I'll wait for her to reach adulthood, if she's still accepting me by then......"

Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that this guy would make something big. But he also knew that the common early marriage of aristocratic girls in Aitaria was very different from the customs of the earth, and that although she was still young, Drith's view of marriage was by no means comparable to that of girls of the same age on the earth.

After listening to the conversation between the two, Delisi also took the initiative to take a step forward, and said in a childish voice: "I like the uncrowned, and the uncrowned also likes me, what's wrong with this?" Mr. Eddard, if you're willing to help us, the Rose Workshop will be behind you in the future. ”

These words made Fang Yu slightly stunned, although Dressy is also very assertive on weekdays, but the maturity and calmness contained in these words still impressed him. He couldn't help but look at Sylvid behind him, and Miss Ship Officer was nodding lightly at him.

But he thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Uncrowned, Drissy, you are my friends. Even if you don't have anything to do with the Rose Workshop, I'll definitely help you. But Drise, you have to listen to Uncrowned in this matter. ”

Listening to his words, Delisi couldn't help but show a happy look, nodded and said, "Mr. Ed, I blamed you before, you are a person with a real noble character. Sister Sylvide's vision is really much better than mine, and if you say that I am your friend with Uncrowned, then I and the Rose Workshop will cherish this friendship. ”

Fang Yu couldn't help but glance at the little girl.

Only then did Sylvid say, "Then let's think of a way, since you have already contacted the adult, but Drisi, there are some changes in plans now." I need you to find a reliable servant to help us deliver a message. ”

"A reliable servant?"

Drissy was slightly stunned, but still nodded.

The discussion in the hall was in full swing, and although the legend was well understood, it took time for people to confirm its authenticity.

It's just that Ander Uriel doesn't plan to speak out against it at this moment, he only thinks that he can find another way to compensate his stupid student, and as for the fairy heart, he naturally has to find another way.

But just as he was about to turn around, a voice rang out in the hall:

"If Luo Lin is really a prophecy person, it is a great blessing for the Southern Alliance, but prophecy is prophecy, and tradition is tradition." The voice replied faintly, "No one in the heirs of the Rose Workshop before, including the Earl himself, has made an exception—if the Earl makes an exception for Lorraine, it may not be a good thing for this young man." ”

When the crowd heard the voice, they couldn't help but look back and look for the person who spoke up. It was only after the crowd parted that everyone could see the man who was speaking—the other man was blind in one eye, wearing an eye patch, lame on one leg, and on crutches, but he was also an old man.

And although this person is physically disabled, the people around him dare not be disrespectful to him in the slightest, just because this person is the previous speaker of the Alffindor Alchemist Alliance. It is only rumored that he has not managed the internal affairs of the alliance for many years, and like Ender, he has only devoted himself to alchemy.

didn't expect the other party to appear at this time.

Even Count Cillin-Sbicca was a little surprised, and bowed respectfully to the other party: "Teacher, why are you here?" ”

It was well known that the old speaker was half of the earl's mentor.

"I heard that there is an excellent young man," the old man looked at Luo Lin, and then smiled slightly, "So come and see." ”

It's just that Ander was a little surprised to see this scene. He knew the old man's character very well, and besides money, only alchemy could interest him. For what good young people will the other party leave their workshop?

He didn't believe it.

It's just that he suddenly reacted to something, and couldn't help but glance into the hall.

But of course, I didn't see Sylvide and Fang Yu.

As for his teacher's opinion, Count Cillin Sibika did not dare to disrespect, he thought for a moment, and also thought that the other party had a certain point. Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, and he is here to make an exception for this young man he is optimistic about, which is not necessarily a good thing.

He thought for a moment, then nodded: "What the teacher said is that we still follow the tradition of Alffindor, and please give a testimony again." ”

As soon as he said this, there was a lot of discussion in the hall for a while.

Fang Yu listened to the conversation between the two sides, and couldn't help but turn around and ask Sylvede: "What is the tradition of Elffindor?" ”

"It's an assessment ceremony for the heirs of the Rose Workshop," Sylvid said as she looked at the center of the hall, her eyes flashing like a shallow sea, "Under the witness of the twelve masters, confirm whether the examiner has this qualification." Of course, there are not so many great craftsmen and great alchemists in the south now, but they also require that the test be completed in the presence of the highest seven members of the Elffindor Council. ”

"Up to seven?"

"Master Ender is one of them, but he's the Speaker in office. There is also the previous Speaker, who was the mentor of Dress's father and has a respected position. and the current Speaker, Sonam Steelbrow, plus the four heads of the Alffindor (Southern) Alchemist Alliance, of whom Drise's father was, and Pudra as the head of the Potions Department. ”

"So Drise's father is the head of the elf department?" Fang Yu asked.

Sylvade nodded: "In addition, there is also the Crystal Department and the Combat Craftsman Department, and the Southern Alchemist's department is not as fine as the Craftsman's Department. ”

Tang Xin couldn't help but ask at this time: "Then this assessment is too child's play?" If the heir harbors evil intentions, wouldn't it be bad for you? ”

"That's not enough," Sylvid replied, "and the assessment is only one aspect, and it requires the participants to take an oath on Alffindor's Oath Stone, which will never go against the original purpose of the Alliance." ”

"What's the use of that, it doesn't guarantee that the other party won't deteriorate in the future."

When Sylvid heard this, she only smiled slightly.

Only then did Fang Yu reply: "Tangtang, how can there be anything perfect in this world, and besides, the Southern Alliance has existed for so long, it should also have its own system of supervision." ”

Ai Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to look at this dumbfounded 'cousin' when she heard this.

Tang Xin gritted her teeth, and her cold gaze was stabbing the latter into a thousand holes: "Fang Pigeon, wow, you are helping outsiders - I remember you!" ”

However, Fang Yu was obviously unaware of this, he only saw it at this moment, this mentor of Count Sirin-Sbicca, the former president of the Southern Alchemist Alliance, should be the 'lord' that Sylvid had asked Drith to contact the Uncrowned Crown before.

It seems that the other party has already prepared, if the earl recommends Rollin, this 'lord' will find a way to lead the promotion to the assessment. Presumably, the other party can participate in the assessment, and Sylvide can naturally find a way to let him participate as well.

It's just that the current situation is different from before, and after having the prophecy by his side, it is not so easy for him to participate in this assessment.

He couldn't really reveal the secret of a crystal, or go up and claim to be the savior of Fenris Island?

Both of these things are secrets that cannot be easily revealed to the followers of the Worship of the Dragons.

He couldn't help but look at Sylvid, a little curious about what the other party was thinking.

At this moment, Falaise was obviously a little curious. Because he had been frowning when he saw his friend, but since a servant had come over and whispered a few words to him not long ago, the other man's face immediately relaxed.

even smiled slightly, looking mysterious.

You can never underestimate the curiosity of a dwarf, and Fareth is as curious as a cat scratch, and he can't help but go up and ask what happened. But at this moment, Ander suddenly stepped forward and said:

"When it comes to assessments, I also have an idea."

The Earl was slightly stunned, looked back at him, and asked, "What does Master Ender think?" ”

Ander smiled slightly: "Instead of assessing it in private, it is better to make it public, so that everyone will have no doubts about the fact that Luo Lin is the successor of Lord Earl." I have a suggestion here, the continental league is going on in Van Rik, why don't we put the assessment above the competition? ”
