Chapter 322: Boarding the ship
The moment he walked out of the room, Fang Yu's nervousness also reached its peak. The knights of Bein outside had already made way for them at the command of Nurman, but in this narrow passage, the two sides were destined not to be too far apart, and this was still the best time for the other party to take action.
Everyone looked at the movements of everyone around them with vigilance, and Fang Zhu also put the sword on Afeifa's neck. He asked the other party to line up and did not allow people to cover people, in case they made any small moves behind their backs. The other party also acted according to their words, and the governor stood at the last position of the queue and watched them pass by silently.
This was the first time Fang Ling had really met with this owner of Beiyin, instead of observing through the clockwork fairy. The other party's calm and solemn gaze left a deep impression on him.
But the team moved slowly forward and finally passed through the narrow passage smoothly. The opponent did not choose to take action, which made Fang Yu breathe a little relieved.
"The road to the rooftop is in this direction," Earl Nurmann said with his expressionless face, holding the pendant on the robe on his chest with his hands. It was a golden kingfisher, the clan emblem of the Emer Ibn family, and said, "I can find someone to take you there."
Fang Yu's eyes were naturally attracted by the movements in the other party's hands, and he calmly pointed out this: "Please put your hands down."
Earl Nurman raised his eyelids and looked at him, with no doubts in his expression, and he remained silent, but he acted as he said and put his hands down.
Seeing this scene, Fang Ling didn't care whether he was nervous or not, but it was understandable that he was allergic at this time. When he remembered the other party's proposal, he realized that none of them knew how to go to the rooftop, and Afeifa was just a guest here.
Although there may be fraud, we still have to respond. However, Fang Yu would not respond in full. After a moment of thought, he replied: "Yes, but we must decide the candidate."
Earl Nurman didn't raise his eyelids. "Yes."
Fang Rong thought for a while, and felt that he had thought of a perfect solution, and replied: "Then let your daughter, let Miss Lavalli come."
He learned early in the morning that the other party was just a standard daughter, and his combat effectiveness was probably not as good as A Feifa. Even if the other party had any arrangements, it would be difficult for such a person to implement it.
And this is also a disguised hostage, he wants to make this governor be afraid of the enemy.
Earl Nurman raised his brows lightly, but the sages beside him immediately looked over eagerly, asked him to close his eyelids again, and nodded. His voice was not high: "Go and find Ms. Rande and Lavalli."
Bein's knight quickly acted as he said.
While waiting, Jita suddenly turned around and whispered: "Brother Ed."
Fang Yu looked around vigilantly, and then replied, "What's wrong?"
"I just felt a slight etheric disturbance."
It turned out that before leaving the room, Fang Yu reminded her that the box and Luo Yu should pay attention to using the exploration magic to observe the surroundings. This is a shared ability of all spellcasters. In this harsh weather, although they are severely disturbed and distorted by the dust storm outside, it is better to be prepared than to know nothing about the surroundings.
Unexpectedly, it actually worked, and Jita noticed a trace of abnormality.
"when?"
"Just when the Governor was in action just now."
"You mean the pendant on his chest is a magical ornament?"
Fang Yuxin felt a sudden warning.
But Jita shook his head: "It's not like that, Brother Ed, the etheric disturbance does not come from that Governor."
"What?" Fang Yu was stunned, and his voice couldn't help but lowered a little: "Who is that?"
Jita shook his head again: "I didn't see clearly either. At that time, you asked the Governor to put down your hand. All of us were focused on him. The etheric disturbance came from the other direction, but when I looked in that direction, there was no movement."
Fang Yu felt it was difficult.
The other party did make small moves, but this was as expected, but what makes people feel a little uneasy now is that he doesn't know what the other party's small move is.
As for this subtle etheric disturbance, only Jita was noticed, and Luo Yu had no reaction to the box, which was actually reasonable. The elemental makers, among magicians and naturalists, the latter two are the most sensitive professions to etheric changes, but the box is only a half-toned, and naturalists are particularly good at analyzing spells.
In fact, Miss Tata also noticed it, but the latter was only as a dragon soul's sensitivity to ether, and the information it possessed was not as detailed as that of Miss Naturalist.
Fang Yu looked up at the direction of the Beiyin people, not knowing if it was the reason for the suspicion. The more he looked, the more suspicious he became. He always felt that the other party had some conspiracy. It seemed that something was wrong, but when he looked carefully, the Bein's knights leaned against the wall on both sides, neatly, one by one, and still motionless.
Moreover, the two are far apart at this moment, almost ten meters away, arranged at both ends of the corridor. No matter how they look, the other party does not seem to be threatening them, unless the other party does not care about the safety of the hostages at all.
Time passes by minute by minute.
It seems that they live like years, but in fact it has not been long, because Ms. Rande and the Earl's daughter were not far away, so the two of them soon came to this place.
After hearing his request, Ms. Rande looked incredible and muttered to herself nervously: "But how can I let Miss Lavalli take risks? Why don't I go..."
But she also knew that this was just her wishful thinking, and the 'gangsters' would not agree to her request.
However, Lavalli was not afraid at all. She just snorted coldly and walked over unintentionally, walked through them and came to the front of the team. Fang Yu suddenly felt that it was a wrong decision to let the young lady come over, and the other party had already walked to him and stood beside Ji Ta. She took Ji Ta's hand and replied in a cold voice:
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "I'll take you there."
Although he was a little helpless, Fang Yu had to accept it since then. The Earl's daughter led the way and whispered to Jita from time to time. Her voice was very low. He couldn't hear clearly from behind. He only saw Jita's somewhat reluctant look, and he went from his neck to his ears.
Lavali approached a little, scared Jita so much that she jumped away. Fang Zhu finally couldn't stand it and then reminded him: "Miss Lavali."
"What does it have to do with you?" Lavalli looked at him and said, "You are so kind of captain. Miss Jita is my history teacher. I have questions."
"What?"
Fang Zhu looked at Jita.
Jita blushed and shook her head repeatedly.
However, the little episode here did not affect the speed of the team, and Fang Yu would not allow the other party to use any tricks on it. The Earl's daughter seemed to have noticed this and did not make any moves in the direction that made everyone nervous. However, Bein's knights were hanging far behind step by step, and both sides maintained a distance that could always be seen. The Governor could no longer see the shadow, but Fang Yu believed that the other party would not be too far away.
Not long after, they arrived at the exit of the rooftop. Fang Zhui signaled Luo Hao to open the door, and a strong wind mixed with sand poured in. They had seen how fierce the sandstorm was on the city wall below, but the wind on the rooftop became a little stronger at this moment. Everyone was caught off guard and actually took a few steps back.
But even though they retreated, everyone was still on guard. Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and protected Afeifa with his hands. Of course, to outsiders, this was more of a hostage action. The Bein Knights took this opportunity to move forward a few steps, but when they saw that they were not panic, they stopped again.
The strong wind made Lavalli's long golden hair bloom like a cosmos. She turned around, took off her coat, covered Jita, and protected him with her hands. It was a bit funny. The Earl's daughter may not be as strong as Jita. She was trembling by the wind, but she still didn't move at all.
Jita's face was a little red.
Fang Yu glanced at her, and Lavalli immediately glared back: "What are you looking at? Can't I protect my teacher?"
Fang Rong was too lazy to argue with this inexplicable young lady. He looked at the Bein Knights again, and as he stared at him, the other party retreated embarrassedly.
Wu Xiaopang was spitting out the sand in his mouth, and Fang Zhu turned around again. He pulled down his goggles and saw the situation outside the rooftop - this was the top floor of the fortress, but of course it was not a platform roof like modern buildings. It actually arched from the middle to form a dome, and from the outside it looked like a huge hemispherical shape.
The passage is around the hemisphere, similar to a corridor in the shape of a zigzag. The wind is howling outside, and the black gravel flows like a river in the sky. It is muddy and you can see the sheds, cloth strips and palm leaves from where they are scraped, and swept past the rooftop.
As the eyes extend into the distance, you can vaguely see the shadow of the other "Dawud". The huge airship is rising and falling in the strong wind, but it does not fly away from the platform - because from this direction, you can see that the airship is fixed on the rooftop by several iron chains, and the iron chains are shaking in the strong wind, jingling.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, and there are obviously more fixed anchor chains on the other end. The sorcerers obviously made careful preparations to moor the airships in this place.
Fang Ling couldn't help frowning when she saw this scene, realizing that she had taken it for granted, as if she could leave the place by boarding an airship - but in such a bad weather, how to release the airship from the platform and find a way to make it move is not an easy thing.
How big is the ‘Dawude’? At least how many sailors are needed to manipulate it? How to navigate?
He found that he didn't think about this issue at all.
But this is normal. After all, although it is known as the Seven Seas Brigade, in fact, apart from the journey from Elpaxin to Goland, they can be said to have not left the land yet. Without relevant experience, it is natural to not consider so much in such a hurry.
However, Fang Zhu was not panicked and quickly calmed down. How many sailors do the ‘Dawude’ need to control it? This is actually not important. Control and release are two different things - if it really doesn’t work, it can go with the flow in the wind. Such a strong wind can fly no matter what. As for the direction he flies, it is not something he can decide.
Besides, even if they have sailors, can they control the course of the Dawud under such weather? It is obviously impossible.
He then turned around and said to everyone about the situation outside: "Luo Yu, Wu Xiaopang, you will take people to untickle the anchor chain, and I will deal with it here."
The situation is urgent, and the two of them dare not delay too much. They nodded quickly, took one person with them, turned around and got into the storm.
As soon as the four left, only half of the people left here were left. Afeifa also noticed the danger and subconsciously leaned against Fang Zhu. Fang Zhu couldn't help but feel a little amused. Having a too conscious "hostage" was also a wonderful experience. Although it was convenient, it just made people feel a little strange.
Fortunately, the two stood behind Luo Hao's big shield, and the Bein Knights over there could not see this scene clearly, otherwise they might have to doubt whether Fang Yu and the others used some mental spells for the "hostage".
"Miss Lavalli," Fang Yu said: "Now you can go back."
Although the other party is considered a hostage, letting the young lady beside him always makes him feel a little uneasy. In fact, he is a little nervous and uneasy about everything. Moreover, it is time to release some kindness to the other party appropriately, so that Being's people believe that they will ultimately keep their promises.
Instead of a gang of real outlaws.
Lavalli looked at them, then looked at Jita beside her. Although she was a little reluctant, she still made a decision. She left her coat on her "history teacher" and then turned around and walked back decisively.
This made Fang Ronggao look at the count's daughter. He was really afraid that the other party would be entangled at this time. Even if they had A Feifa as a hostage, he could not really kill these two ladies, right? Fortunately, this ladies may have inherited some of her father's qualities, acted decisively, and did not drag on it.
But Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and he was also confused. From the past to the present, the other party seemed to have nothing wrong. The question was, where did the uneasy feeling come from? He looked at the Bein Knights from a distance and felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Fang Yu thought about it carefully and felt that his suspicion still came from the previous scene. What did the other party do to cause etheric disturbance? Generally speaking, it is casting spells, or using magical instruments or magical items. However, in such a nervous situation, the other party will definitely not cast spells or use magical instruments for no reason.
What exactly is the Being hidden behind it?
Before he could think clearly, the Bein Knight over there asked first: "When will you return Miss Afifa to us?"
Fang Yu was stunned and immediately came to his senses. The doubt in his heart did not show any signs on his face. He just replied loudly: "I am here. What are you worried about? I asked my people to untie the anchor chain on the 'Dawude' first, and after the others boarded the ship, I will naturally hand over Miss Afifa to you."
The knights there were silent for a moment, but Fang Zhu knew that the other party was actually seeking the advice of the governor. Sure enough, after a while, the knights said again:
"How do you plan to deliver to us? We need to understand these details clearly?"
Fang Yu looked back at the rooftop.
Not far from the platform, there was a tower faintly in the wind and sand. The opposite of the tower happened to be the center line of the rooftop. Seeing this, he turned around and said to the knights: "I will take her to that place later, and the center line of the rooftop is bounded by the center line of the rooftop, and I will let go of that place. But before that, you must keep the distance from us now."
The knights were silent again, but this time they did not ask the governor's opinion again, because they seemed to have agreed to Fang Yu's proposal.
The whole process went smoothly beyond Fang Yu's expectations—
If he had been suspicious before this, he might have been suspicious for a while, but now he has reached the verge of success. By that time, the opponent seems to have no way to leave them. The distance of half a game is enough for him to escape to the boat, and the rooftop is not safe, so the Knights must give priority to protecting Afifa.
As for long-range attacks, what use can it be in such a large sandstorm? There is no way to locate magic.
Only then did he feel relieved and thank Afeifa beside him: "Miss Afeifa, it's all up to you this time. If you have the chance, we will definitely repay you."
He said this sincerely. After all, if it weren't for A Feifa, they would have been in great trouble when they made the mistake before.
Afeifa nodded with only a little blushing.
Soon, Wu Xiaopang and his friends returned.
The fat guy said to him angrily: "Big Boss, the anchor chain is almost untied, you can board the ship first."
Fang Yu nodded. At the moment of the weather, he definitely couldn't wait until all the anchor chains were untied before boarding the ship. Once the anchor chain was untied, maybe the Dawude didn't know where to fly. However, he had already considered the order of boarding and pointed to the others and said, "Luo Yu, Box and Jita boarded the ship first, and then your people."
"...As for Luo Hao and I, we will finally board the ship."
"Wait a minute, there will be dangers when boarding the ship in the end." Wu Xiaopang said hesitantly: "The wind is too strong now, and I don't know what will happen once the anchor chain is untied."
"Don't worry," Fang Yuming was confident: "You go and record the positioning teleportation scroll first, and then let someone bring it back."
When Wu Xiaopang heard this, his eyes lit up. Yes, they still have this thing, even if they can't board the ship, they can still be teleported up. Although the positioning and transmission scroll records fixed coordinates, the error of a few seconds will not be enough to teleport people into the air.
He nodded immediately.
