"Your Excellency the Consul, Your Majesty the Marquis."

Argyle had not yet entered the hall when he heard the sound coming from behind the front door.

If you still remember this person, you will definitely also remember his identity, His Excellency, the grand leader of the Elpaxin Silver Wind Knights. Since the failure to capture Fang Plover, the people from the Holy Chosen Ones have actually appeared.

As expected, people did not blame him and his men too much, which was very different from the people in power he knew.

Most of those rulers are serious and mean, even if they are pretending to be sanctimonious, this makes this gentleman quite unaccustomed to it, and he even feels slightly disapproving, thinking that the Chosen One is nothing more than that. However, subconsciously, he actually

I quite like this method of cooperation, but I rarely mention it to outsiders.

However, there are rumors outside that fortunately he did not catch the boy, otherwise Dolifen would have lost a hero. The poet spread the story throughout the north, making him a little disgraced, as if he was a villain, and more

Shouldn't the matters involving Riffen also be handled by the Knights?

He was a little dissatisfied with this——

Argyle walked into the hall holding his sword. At this moment, only a few centuries had passed since the Giant War. Corin-Ithurion was proud of martial arts, especially among the nobles. Holding the sword in salute had long been a common practice among knights.

A common etiquette.

But only among knights.

However, in this hall, the specially set myth lock barrier prohibited the magic weapon from taking effect, so the sword in his hand was nothing more than a ritual weapon. Argyle walked through the door and saw the young gray man.

Marquis En, the other person is wearing a silver embroidered robe, has beautiful curly hair, sideburns, and a thick beard. He is holding a chair with one hand and is listening to the stories of others with his head slightly tilted.

He shines with the aura of exquisiteness and elegance unique to the new dynasty. As we all know, the young king is keen on such 'art'. Elpaxin has changed two or three consuls in the past six months. The original mountain

Count Duo soon fell out of power and was replaced by an 'old' nobleman who maintained the city for several months until the Marquis arrived.

This marquis was not an important figure originally, but because he was a die-hard loyalist to the prime minister, he was able to obtain his current position.

Argyle looked down upon this, but was a little envious of it.

He held the hilt of the sword and saluted the other party with knightly etiquette.

"You came just in time, Argyle," the Marquis raised his head at this time, shook his huge body, and nodded to him, "People say that you value your reputation more than your life, and you are a reliable and honest knight. I

I have a question for you. Is that thing really as useful as the temple says?"

Argyll was disdainful, but he did not dare to neglect. Since the prince arrived in Elpaxin, the political struggle in the city has become increasingly fierce. The Earl of Sandor, who had won the trust of the young king, soon fell into misfortune and was replaced by

This is evident.

He lowered his head and replied: "That thing may not be as useful as imagined, but it can always appease people's hearts. People in this city are panicked right now, and people need a psychological sustenance to resist their fear of the Dragon Witch."

"Oh," Marquis Greyn nodded with satisfaction, as if he was suddenly enlightened, "I haven't asked yet, how is our poor Lenorn?"

"He is very good, my lord. It is their duty to die for the country. He and other victims were recuperating among the knights and received special commendations. In addition, there were several of our knights," he stopped

After a while, "There are also some Holy Chosen people who also participated in the escort."

"Oh, I know about that."

"Sir, I heard that the chosen ones are from a guild called the Oak Knights of Tapolis. They have been treated unfairly and I hope you can get justice."

"Okay, I understand, Argyle." Marquis Gray showed a little lack of interest in this.

Argyle glanced at the other party, knowing that the other party was not willing to offend the Crow's Claw Temple, and would not force him any more. The reason why he mentioned this was not because of the sense of justice in his heart, but because the people over there treated him badly.

It's just a bit of a requirement.

But if you really can't do it, it's nothing special. These people don't matter.

"Argyle," Marquis Gray said again: "Let's talk about recent events. I'm worried that the temple will object to that ceremony. Of course, I feel quite relieved to have that thing in the Knights. I can trust your character.

only--"

The temple he was talking about naturally refers to the temple of Marlan and Amaya. The Marquis twisted his body in his seat uneasily.

He still can't forget what happened not long ago. The three pillars of light soaring into the sky seem to be still vivid in his mind today. He doesn't mind intervening in the situation in the north, but this does not mean that he is not afraid of the majesty of the gods. In fact, he is more

What I'm afraid of is that I accidentally stepped into some forbidden areas that I shouldn't.

On this battlefield, it is easy to be treated as an insignificant chess piece or cannon fodder.

Or to put it simply, he actually began to have some regrets in his heart.

Argyle looked calm on the surface, but he was already scolding him in his heart. The other party would not offend the three goddesses and wanted him to shoulder this responsibility? But who doesn’t know that the three goddesses are not easy to mess with? He suppressed his dissatisfaction and replied

: "If the Marquis thinks this time is too sensitive, you can postpone this matter later."

"I understand, Argyle," the Marquis of Greyen sighed: "But that damned, reckless bastard in Port Gula in the north has decided to perform that ritual, and if the news spreads, people will

What will they think of us?"

"It's up to you, not to me. Who boasted about this, and who should be responsible now. And the Knights have already paid the price for it," Argyle felt a little disdainful. This is nothing more than the benefits of both sides.

Want to take advantage of it, "But when you agreed to the Crow Claw Temple and those in the Alliance, you never imagined the situation today?"

Of course, he only said these words in his heart.

On the surface, still pretending to be sympathetic, Argyle replied: "Sir, actually I still have something to say. At least as of today, the three goddesses Marlan and Mirela have not expressed their opinions on this matter.

Any attitude, perhaps what their followers are opposed to is just the Gray Knights' aggressiveness in the north."

"Really?" Marquis Gray Grace was a little surprised.

"Absolutely true."

Marquis Gray Grace seemed to be relieved, but on the surface he became serious. He said calmly: "Well, Argyle, that thing will be left to your knights for safekeeping until the Crow's Claw Saint

Further news from the palace. If all this is successful, I will give you a credit, maybe we will get the opportunity to meet the king."

Argyle was not interested in the so-called meritorious service at all, because he knew that this man would definitely put his own merits ahead of everyone else, leaving them with nothing more than scraps. Fortunately, he didn't care, he

He only relied on his Silver Wind Knights, but if there was an opportunity to meet the king, it would make him a little excited.

He nodded slightly.

Marquis Gray simply ignored the topic and suddenly said, "Argyle, how is that man?"

Argyle's heart was excited, and he reacted immediately. He quickly shook his head: "Sir, you can't ask me about this matter. The Knights are not monitoring that gentleman. You can ask Lord Finorn, he is in charge.

Elpaxin's guard, maybe he can give you an accurate answer."

Marquis Gray Grace was silent for a moment, narrowed his eyes, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

However, both of them cursed each other in their hearts as an old fox.



Tian Lan soon lost the intention to pay attention to others.

For example, what is that fire-breathing horned lizard about?

The entire hull of the Seven Seas Traveler seemed to be resonating. It was comparable to the last time they passed through the wind elemental layer. Every ship plank and every screw was groaning, creaking, and crackling.

With a sound, a magic storage crystal cracked on top of the magic engine.

"We're going to hit each other, ahhhhh--!"

Every lever on the magic engine was shaking violently. She almost had to use all her strength to pull it down. All the output channels were opened to the maximum, and the shield device was also overloaded.

, but the sailboat's descent is still accelerating, and the numbers on the altimeter are beating like crazy.

Due to the weightlessness, all of Sky Blue's hair flew up one by one. For a moment, she felt that the world had stopped. The small objects originally placed on the dashboard flew up one by one and were suspended in mid-air. And the horned lizard

, flew past her in a swirl, blinked his membrane-like eyes, and stared at her big eyes with his dark pupils.

On the deck, Baggins was frowning and watching the deck wind and the working conditions of each sail. He listened carefully to the sounds coming from the side of the ship, as if he was judging the airflow below.

Tang Xin and Shestazheng grabbed a rope each. The latter was okay, but the veins of the former were sprouting from his fair wrist.

The former gritted his silver teeth, but still dragged himself forward inch by inch due to the huge strength. Mirela's priest has never been a profession known for strength, not to mention she is not a professional sailor.

Sylvide opened the door and walked out. She looked at the situation on the deck, picked up her sleeves and walked over. She stretched out her hand from behind Tang Xin and helped her hold the rope. Tang Xin was slightly startled and felt the pressure on her hand.

As soon as the pressure was relieved, he turned around and saw the ship officer behind him.

"Why did you come out, Miss Sylvide? Shouldn't you have stayed below to take command?" she asked in a somewhat unkind tone.

"Then there is no need for me down there anymore," Sylvide replied: "Don't look at me like this. When I was a child, I went to sea with my father. Many experienced sailors may not have a better understanding of the sea and the sailboats.

You can have sex with me."

Tang Xin couldn't help but look at the latter with a little surprise.

As soon as her hand loosened, the two of them were almost dragged forward by the passing mast, so she hurriedly pulled hard and stabilized the cable again. Then she turned around and asked: "Have you ever been on a ship when you were a child?

Have you ever left Corin-Ithurion?"

"Before I fostered that noble lady, I went to many places," Sylvide nodded. "We have traveled far further than we have now. I have been to the Empire and the Hill of Giant Trees, and have seen them.

I have even seen sailors fighting in the sea of ​​clouds. My mother wanted me to become a lady during her lifetime, but my father always wanted me to inherit his mantle."

Tang Xin couldn't help but be entranced. As a girl living in modern society, she had rarely heard of such a bizarre and unimaginable childhood. She seemed to have temporarily forgotten her relationship with the other party and couldn't help but

Asked: "What about you, what do you think?"

"My father is a man who was born for Kukai, and I am Kukai's daughter," Sylvide replied: "I set out on this road to find him, not only to find his whereabouts, but more importantly

He walked on the same path as him. A person who made a living on the sea of ​​​​Kunghai was eventually buried in this sea of ​​clouds. It is a matter of no regrets. Even if I did not find him, I will not regret it."

"I can't understand something."

"Yes, few down-to-earth people can understand wanderers like sea people," Sylvide put the rope on her arm, then took two steps back, wrapped it around the rigging and fixed it.

He smiled and said, "But some people are different. They are keen on taking risks and traveling to the unknown. This is not just because of the impulsive blood in their bones, but also because of people's exploration of the world."

"Are you talking about my cousin?"

"Ed is a special person."

"I don't think so."

Sylvide looked at her with a smile: "This is your happy place."

Tang Xin couldn't help but be slightly startled.

She was silent for a moment, then lowered her eyelashes as long as feathers, and replied: "If you have a chance, Miss Sylvide, I would like to hear your story." It seemed that for the first time, she realized this thing that she had always cherished.

There is something unique about these hostile girls.

She said that the pigeon was different, but she herself was not the same. She was slightly jealous because that was what she couldn't understand.

"With pleasure." Sylvide replied with a smile.

The small ball of light was floating around inside the deck, as if curious about what the sweaty fat man in front of him was doing.

But little did he know that its behavior had greatly aroused Luo Hao's dissatisfaction. In fact, if anything is close at hand, floating around in front of your sight, interfering with your judgment, you will definitely feel very annoyed as well.

of.

Especially this thing is still glowing, like a light bulb.

Luo Hao couldn't help but wave his hand, which made the little thing seem angry. While avoiding his hand, it flew around him. After a while, Luo Hao was a little dizzy. Luo Hao on the side

Yu shook his head, stretched out a finger, and emitted a ball of snow-white light.

The little thing felt the magic reaction and immediately flew over, rubbing against Luo Yu's fingertips like a ball of cotton.

"The magician is so good." Luo Hao couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene. He pressed his hand on the rising control platform and spent a lot of effort to control the ten parts of the sailboat.

The polysail returned to the right position. The Seven Seas Traveler's altitude was rapidly decreasing and it was soon approaching the ground.

Luo Hao could already see the vast snow-covered land outside through the projection, and the horizon was rising. He had to concentrate on using the size of the cedars as a reference to judge their location. But even so, it was still easy to visually

Misjudgment, and Tianlan over there is shouting hysterically——

It seemed as if the ship was about to collide in the next moment.

"Luo Yu!" Luo Hao suddenly shouted.

The elementalist nodded and put his hand on the console. Both of them were amateurs in controlling the sailboat. They were half sailors and half combat craftsmen. Together, they were about a quarter of Miss Tata.

——If you don’t simply calculate the computing power.

At that moment, all the masts and cables on the Seven Seas Traveler were taut, and the half-open sails made a whirring sound. On the deck, Sylvester, Tang Xin, and Baggins all raised their heads.

Start up and look at the working condition of the sail.

Only the maid was somewhat indifferent to this.

However, more than a dozen sails were adjusted perfectly at the last moment. Even more fortunately, they did not encounter any complex whirlpools or shearing winds along the way. Although the process was a bit thrilling, they finally landed safely.

'.

An open valley appeared in front of everyone, and the speed of the sailboat's descent began to slow down. After they passed through the contact layer of the wind element surface, the navigation began to become stable, and the altimeter did not seem to be broken.

Scroll through the code.

The creaking sound of the ship's hull gradually stopped. The sides of the valley did not reach the height of the ship's side, and the surrounding scenery became clearer. In the magic cabin, Tian Lan was lying on the instrument panel as if paralyzed. She swore

, I don’t want something like this to happen again in my life.

She should have been alert when the fat man suggested it——

Luo Hao put his hand on the console, and then turned off most of the systems on the Seven Seas Traveler, such as the severely overloaded shield device and half the power of the Guy generator. He turned around and asked Luo Yu

Said: "Let's cast a spell."

Luo Yu nodded and shot the crystal in his hand out of the opened lower hatch. The crystal exploded about sixty feet away, forming a hazy layer of ice crystal mist.

Looking at the dispersing fog, he cast three similar spells from different directions - the water mist spell would refract the light in the air, thus making the things covered behind it appear transparent.

Come.

It's just that this ice mist won't last long and will soon dissipate as the Seven Seas Traveler moves forward.

But the time estimated by the two was just right. About a few minutes after the ice fog was generated, several clockwork fairies whizzed past the valley. They swam nearby for a while, and then flew away in the distance after turning around a few times.

.In about a quarter of an hour, they encountered three waves of clockwork goblins.

In the meantime, Luo Yu replenished another round of spells, and then Luo Hao looked at the communication crystal - they were quite close to each other at this moment.

In fact, after breaking out of the encirclement, Fang Plover, Momiji, Saya and others continued to march southward for a while, and then met up with the people who had been resurrected in the nearby temple.

According to the information coming from various sources, the descendants of Flor were quite well prepared, and they also surrounded several temples at the same time. But luckily, they had the foresight to choose Roman instead of Ms. Aimea.

The resurrection of the temple.

This can be said to be a cruel trick on the other side, so that these people will not forget that Ms. Amaya is not the only one who has shrines in the wild mountains and forests, and as a guide for travelers, Ms. Dao also uses herself as a guide.

His divine grace spread across the continent.

It was about four or five o'clock in the morning, but the daylight in winter was relatively late. It was still dark in the mountains and fields at this moment. However, within half an hour of waiting at the agreed place, they saw a shadow floating in the distance - that was not

The other one is the Seven Seas Traveler.

When he saw the sail shadow of the Seven Seas Traveler, Ai Xiaoxiao, who was sitting on the ground almost dead from exhaustion, finally couldn't help but get up and cheered, they were saved!

Although Fang Yu looked at the little girl speechlessly, not knowing what she was excited about.

The Seven Seas Traveler slowly approached and then lowered the ladder - this was also a rare sight, because generally speaking, sailboats of this size rarely approach so close to the ground in non-airport areas.

Generally speaking, they go back and forth by boat.

Ai Xiaoxiao was the first to climb up, followed by Saya and Xiaokong, and he was the fourth one. As soon as Fang Yu climbed up the side of the ship, he noticed a hand being handed over to him. Generally speaking, it is the ship officer lady here.

Waiting for himself, but he didn't expect that the first person he saw this time would be Luo Yu.

The elementalist in the team looked at his slightly serious expression and said, "Get on the boat, I'll show you something."

Fang Plover couldn't help but be slightly startled.
