Siesta opened one door after another, and the bright firelight almost burned into the house from outside the window lattice. The air was filled with a burning smell, and knights in gray armor were passing by her. She saw those
When the person walked, her sword and armor collided, making a clanging sound, but her eyes seemed not to be able to see her. She was looking straight ahead, as if she was passing through a silent phantom.
She followed them out, but the knights kept disappearing in the corridors, turning into a certain branch in twos and threes, and fewer and fewer people stayed with her. In the distance, the flames had climbed to the highest point of the tower, and the fire burned the night sky.
Jinhong.
The sound of fighting came from outside the castle, as if something invisible was invading. Beyond the distant fire, a nightmare seemed to be shrouded in darkness.
Siesta suddenly recognized the place - the Tower of Gray Eagle. The castle stood on Mount Altric. Those dark creatures had invaded the center of the port. Some distant and unfamiliar information broke into her mind:
"Have you contacted the Storm?"
"Ma'am, it's very difficult for us to break out now. The empire ordered us to execute the plan in advance."
"No, the civilians haven't had time to evacuate yet."
"Information..., we are going to meet the captain."
The female knight turned back and looked at her with a pair of gentle and firm eyes.
The other party stretched out his hand, and it was a cold hand, like a ghost, placed on Shesta's forehead: "Don't worry, we will definitely take you to a safe place."
She felt that the gaze was looking at her condescendingly. How could she become so short? Is this a memory of the past? But this is not the Principality of Harts. What kind of place is this?
Shesta subconsciously wanted to speak, but a stab of pain struck her, waking her up from that dream.
The maid opened her eyes at once, her violet-like eyes staring at the cold moonlight. The silver moonlight flowed in from the porthole and fell on the edge of her hammock. She grabbed the edge of the hammock with one hand and sat up.
The stinging pain dissipated like a phantom, but the dream still followed her like a shadow. She silently stared at the darkness in front of her, as if a shadow had formed her appearance, stood in front of her, looked at her and asked:
"You remember?"
"But that's not you, is it?"
"You know in your heart that you are different from them. They have human emotions, but you are just a machine."
"You know where you come from -"
Siesta looked at her long and slender fingers, and it was hard to imagine the power they could unleash when wearing heavy arm armor.
"No, I am not."
she said softly.
But everything was silent, and the maid lady could not hear the rising and falling heartbeat in the quiet night. There was only a little warm influx in her heart. The surging and powerful etheric energy burst out from the core, flowed through the whole body, and coated her fingertips with a light layer.
of brilliance.
…
The first and second days went very smoothly. The Seven Seas Traveler set off at dawn, raised its silver sails, and sailed out of the valley. The dim morning light and the background of the green mountains formed a natural cover, allowing them to sail smoothly.
Avoid the sight of the Naga clan and reach the hiding places scattered throughout the island.
Odessa had already given the oracle, and the natives on the outskirts of the island had abandoned their original settlements and sought refuge nearby. However, some of the chosen ones remained in those places, shouldering the task of communicating with the valley.
Through their contact with Ian, the Seven Seas Traveler found the correct location easily. However, the visibility in the air and sea is best between noon and evening, and Fang Plover was not in a hurry, which made Tata
The lady lowered the boat, anchored it, and camouflaged it.
All to reduce the risk of exposure as much as possible.
And use this time to gather survivors from nearby areas and transport them back to the valley in batches. Generally, they can take three operations in the morning and evening, and can bring back hundreds of people each time.
The Seven Seas Traveler is not a big ship, and the ship's stewardess tries to control its carrying capacity to the limit to avoid any accidents. Moreover, they also have to leave room to prevent possible battles.
But even so, they still evacuated the survivors from two villages in two days. According to Ms. Marigold, there should be two survivor gathering places left outside the island, but one of them has been lost.
It's already been very bad.
Fang Yu planned to go to the place where he could still contact him first. As for the remaining place, he had to go and see it. It was an explanation to Odessa. They would do their best to complete the task. The goddess couldn't deal with them.
.
What's more, Naga's arrival on the island is a completely unforeseen disaster for these aboriginal people. When the storm is coming, where will these mountain people go?
Therefore, if the Seven Seas Traveler is needed, he doesn't mind helping these poor people. Most of the other people on the ship have the same view. As for the Papalars, the box may not care much, but at least he won't
be opposed to.
The goblin craftsman who just boarded the ship, Trixis's purpose was slightly more utilitarian, hoping to win Odessa's favor, and Miss Nightingale also had this idea, but in the end, everyone still had the same opinion.
.
Fang Yu did not forget to ask for help from the Stargate Port on behalf of those who were selected. He informed Bai Jia of everything that happened here, but even humanitarian aid could not arrive in such a short time.
Water from afar cannot quench the thirst of nearby people. In the final analysis, they have to find a solution on their own.
"Don't have too much hope," Bai Jia looked a little serious on the other side of the light screen and said to him: "The empire doesn't pay much attention to Campa's situation. Even the emperor only pays attention to the big country in the south.
In the rainforest, the empire may not care much about this place."
"Where's the first division?"
"Don't you know about the Super Competitive League?" Bai Jia asked back.
Fang Plover looked up at the sky. The gloomy sky suddenly started to drizzle. This meant that Odessa's protection for the island was further weakening. If her power had not faded, the weather in the barrier should be gentle.
The sun is right.
He looked at the gathering storm on the horizon. In just two days, the black clouds had expanded to cover the entire stormy sea. The sky was covered with gloomy dark clouds, almost airtight, which seemed to indicate that an unprecedented heavy rain was coming.
Fang Plover felt a little uneasy.
Adni said that there was still a week to half a month before the storm came, but less than four days had passed and the storm had already gathered to a terrifying level, and it was likely that it was already raging outside the storm sea.
"A storm is about to form," Bai Jia also saw this scene from the other side of the light screen and reminded him: "You have to leave that place as soon as possible. The storm surge in the north of Xinta'an is not a joke, and no treasure can compare with it.
Putting your own safety first.”
Fang Yu nodded, he naturally understood the importance clearly. But the task was already halfway through, and he had to make an attempt no matter what. Maybe the rest of the work could be completed today, and they could try to explore in the remaining time.
The Pirate King's Treasure House.
But if that time is missed, they must leave this place in three days anyway. The Seven Seas Traveler must not be involved in that unprecedented storm, not to mention that the storm may also contain Naga and
giant.
As for everything on the island…
He sighed and could only think of a solution at last.
But Fang Yu knew that his power was limited after all, and when it came to that point, he could only provide as much help as he could. He only hoped that Odessa did not lie to all of them, and that she could really protect this place in the storm.
He looked around at the situation on the deck. Papalar and Luo Hao were rolling up the sails, and the box on the side greeted him - he looked at the magic sword in each other's hands, and saw 'Gwendes' on the sword.
It's hard to feel safe in a sheath.
Jita and Dariel were also on the deck. Miss Scholar was measuring the air pressure and the activity of the wind element in the air and sea. Tianlan watched Dariel throw a springboard from the side of the ship and couldn't help but feel sorry for Miss Catman's
Li Li let out a sigh.
May took the gangplank from the other end and fixed it to the makeshift trestle.
Then she waved to the top. Fang Plover nodded to her.
He looked into the distance again. Adni was talking to several selectors. The aborigines stood on their side. After speaking to a few people, Miss Caster ordered the selectors to bring a batch of
The materials were moved to the trestle——
They built a temporary dock there. The selectmen also hoped to build an Adventurer's Guild branch here and erect a crystal tower in an attempt to intervene in Xinta'an's crystal network.
In just half a month, the selectmen established a deep connection with the indigenous people here. With their help, they were able to explore the ruins of the central mountains. Now the island is in trouble.
However, the chosen ones hope to stay here permanently and help the indigenous people resist foreign enemies.
Their power may not be enough, but the chosen ones know that they still have their own power on the continent on the other side of the Sea of Storms.
As long as you tell the Adventurer Association what is happening here, there will definitely be a steady stream of adventurers coming to this island.
They hope to fight the coming storm in this way.
Adni climbed up the ladder there again, holding nails in her mouth - although she was a caster, she also had some other skills - while she directed the chosen people to work and let them build the frame of a hall.
Fang Yu watched this scene silently. The foundry lady showed no trust in anyone, but she could get along well with these selectors. She came to this island with only one purpose, which was to find her father.
's manuscript.
These unnecessary things should have nothing to do with her, but the enthusiasm of everyone here undoubtedly moved this girl.
"Everyone on the ship has their own mission," Adni noticed his gaze when she came over and couldn't help but explain, "I just found something within my ability to build this temporary trestle.
In this way, the Seven Seas Traveler can save a lot of time when transporting people back to dock."
Fang Yu didn't point out the hall, he only said:
"I understand, Miss Adoni."
Adni took a deep breath. Her other identity was very sensitive in the empire, and the hyenas had never given up tracking her, the daughter of Jade Ram.
She has long been accustomed to that gray world. Her former colleagues left because of differences in reality. Some even chose to betray and showed their fangs and blades to her. Over time, such an impenetrable line of defense naturally formed in her heart.
It was rare for her to truly let down her guard, but the time she spent on the Seven Seas Traveler was the one she least thought about.
Although there were a few people on the boat who looked very strange, such as the young man who looked the same all day long. He almost never said hello to her, but in Adni's opinion, it was almost childish and ridiculous.
But it's not much of a threat.
It was difficult for her to feel any sense of elegance and depth in such a group of people, including their captain, Adni, who glanced at Fang Plover and shook her head. She happened to hear the conversation between Cui Xisi and the other party that day, and even felt that
The little girl was right—
How long can people maintain such innocence? Maybe they may be lucky for a while, but the world will not always protect such a group of lucky people.
Adni suddenly felt a little pity.
It was a kind of regret for something that was about to be lost. She said to Fang Plover: "The Empire is never kind. Do you remember that port? Its origin must be strange. Maybe even Naga has something to do with the Empire. Ai
Mr. De, be careful."
Fang Yu looked at her and nodded.
He looked at the half-built hall again. In fact, the crystal tower standing inside was also made by him. After all, he was also a crystal craftsman, which was his old profession.
It's just that after the crystal tower was erected, it still had no time to connect with the crystal network veins, and it was still in a blank state. It was a very complicated task, and it required sufficient magic power to be injected first to complete the resonance with the etheric veins.
Generally, only craftsmen who specialize in crystal and ether theory can do this job. He also needs to have enough experience in building large-scale magic equipment.
Generally speaking, the Adventurer Association has specialized craftsmen who do this, and outsiders generally call them network craftsmen. But when the other remaining craftsman among Lark and the Chosen One heard that Fang Plover could also do this.
At this time, I couldn’t help but show my surprise——
The latter one was so surprised that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
"Are you a network craftsman?" the man asked.
"No," Fang Yu shook his head, "I'm not, I just have some research in the crystal field."
"But can you construct large equipment?"
"Understand a little bit."
Fang Yu thought to himself that there happened to be no selectors from the first and third divisions here, otherwise there might be someone who could recognize him.
Nowadays, the community speaks highly of his accomplishments in large-scale equipment, and some even compare him to Weiyu. However, he is actually just a war craftsman, while the latter is a veritable barrier craftsman.
The area he is really good at is large equipment.
"But I need time," he said to the others. "The essence of this work is the same as hacking into the crystal network of the Artisans Guild. We have to make preparations, and we must report to the Artisans Guild as soon as possible after intervention.
Report.”
He looked at the others again.
Of course, this reporting work cannot be completed by him. The craftsmen's headquarters is located in Ayinbrok, and he currently does not have a good reputation there.
Thinking of this, Fang Yu couldn't help but be slightly startled. He suddenly remembered that what he was doing seemed to be similar to the scene that had been staged in El Paxin. He couldn't help but think of the young man, the cultist, who was taken away by Bai Jia.
The words "Shadow Man" were tumbling in his mind.
He suddenly remembered another thing. The military asked him to investigate the whereabouts of the last crystal tower at that time, but he actually only completed half of that task. After the young man was taken away, there was no news about the whereabouts of the crystal tower.
Missing.
He went deep into the great crystal veins and investigated what the Imperial people were doing, but the information about the crystal tower and the Shadow Man under him seemed to have never existed.
Or is it that the direction of his investigation was wrong, and the crystal tower in the end was not in the empire?
This thought only flashed through his mind, because what he was doing now was essentially the same as what the Shadow People had done. He erected this crystal tower and connected it to the network, and the Craftsmen Association
The other side will notice it immediately.
Fang Yu first asked others to charge the crystals, and asked them to collect the magic crystals found on the island to use as backup energy. Once the crystals were charged, as nodes of the Ethernet veins, others would in turn return energy in the future.
You can use this crystal node to channel energy into your own magic furnace.
In fact, this is also the greatest significance of the existence of crystal towers in a regional adventurer guild or craftsmen's guild. By then, they will no longer have to dig around to collect natural magic crystals to recharge their own magic furnaces.
.
Because of this, other people look at Fang Plover a little differently. An alchemist and a great craftsman who can build a crystal tower are not the same. Even Fang Plover himself actually rehearsed in the Silver Tower.
Only after you have gone through it can you have this confidence.
If it weren't for the experience in the Silver Tower illusion, he didn't think he would be able to build a complete crystal tower. Now that he thinks about it, the race in the Silver Tower was essentially a kind of training.
The work in the fantasy world is much simpler than in reality, but it can be used as a reference in reality. It is no wonder that most of the players who have participated in the mainland league and achieved results have left their names in the history of super sports.
However, Fang Plover couldn't stay here and wait for the crystal tower to be recharged. The Seven Seas Traveler could set sail again before dusk. He had to complete all preparations before the storm came, and then go to the Central Mountains to find out.
He plans to go to the last settlement before today. It is said that there are not many people left there, and he should be able to bring everyone back at once. Then he will go to the lost village by night to see what happened.
In this way, he would be able to free up time during the day tomorrow. He was worried that he would not have enough time to go to the Pirate King's treasure house, but if he could leave two days free, it would be more than enough time.
Dalil, Luo Hao and the Papalars are transporting supplies back to the ship through the springboard. In fact, they are mainly supplementary crystals for charging the Guy generator. Such things are everywhere on the air and land, but like
Just like fresh water, it needs to be replenished at a stop.
Then there are materials for repairs, food and water for survivors, and necessary medicines.
In the past two days, they had been sailing at low altitudes for a long time and docked in complex terrain conditions. The sailboat did not know how many sides were damaged. Fortunately, there was still spider silk on the ship. They only needed to replenish some magic wood unique to the island.
It only took them about half an hour to replenish all the supplies. Fang Lu returned to the ship. He was waiting for Alyssa to return with the others, but he received an unexpected news first——
The islander girl named Danielle brought Odessa's oracle, but it was said to be an oracle, but it was actually a notification to them from the goddess.
"Someone else has arrived on the island," the girl said to them on the trestle, looking up and saying, "They have a boat, the same boat as yours."
"Sailboat?"
Danielle nodded, "The goddess said there are two groups of people."
She gestured, "One group of them are pirates, and the other group is Jialil just like you - according to you, they are the chosen ones of the Holy..."
Fang Yu was startled for a moment, but he immediately reacted. No Holy Chosen One would stay on the sea outside the storm at this moment, and the people chasing his group in this airspace were probably not Prometheus people?
The other party actually landed on the island so quickly? How did they find themselves?
As for pirates, he didn't pay much attention. The Storm Islands were originally the base camp of the Gray and White Pirates. Pirate King William used this island as his base, and there might be other pirates who would land on this island.
After hearing what Danielle said, he couldn't help but ask: "Does the goddess have anything else to tell us?"
The girl shook her head: "The goddess asked you to be careful."
