"You have never been to the Huanhai, nor have Afeifa. I have to arrange a guide for you."

"In addition, Father and the others have left Questak for a day and a night, and you are likely to be unable to catch up with the team."

Before leaving, Princess Rupert called them and said so.

Tianlan blinked his eyes and asked, "What should we do?"

"Fly over," the princess replied, "There is a boat in the palace. It was left by my mother during her lifetime. It has never been driven by anyone in ten years, but it has been maintained by a dedicated person. It was a small boat, which may not be suitable for long voyages, but it should be able to support it from here to the sea of ​​illusion."

Fang Zhu looked at each other and nodded gently: "Do as you said, Your Highness the Princess."

"Then I'll give it to you-"

Princess Rupert wanted to speak but stopped, and finally said softly: "Mr. Ed, please..."

Among the people, only Ms. Papamo was confident and patted her flat breasts and promised::

"Don't worry, just leave it to us."

"We will definitely save Miss Afifa."

"By the way, when I come back, I will talk to His Highness about the evil dragon. Because compared to it, the blind followers are nothing..."

Fang Zhuge only faced the gaze of the eldest princess and nodded slightly.

...

The princess' ship was parked in a small lake in Casan Palace. In order to hide the news, they had to drive the ship out of the lake first, merge into the artificial canal, and then take off from the outer city.

Fang Zhu asked Silmide and Tianlan to stay, and took the others to go there.

Tianlan is because she has no combat power. Instead of going with them, the noble lady would stay in Questak for stability. Because Tang Xin, Ai Xiaoxiao, and Miss Nightingale are still in the city, and if there is no one in charge here, once something happens, the rest may be like a headless fly.

Although my cousin is also very smart.

But compared to this world, she is just a newcomer, and in some aspects, she is far less accurate than Silvert's judgment.

What's more, my cousin has just recovered from a serious illness, so it is not certain whether she can take charge of the overall situation.

But the only thing that gave Fang Ling a headache was Pasha.

The latter must insist on going with them for the same reason as last time—and he also had to fuck the sail, which was the 'craft' he learned from Baggins these days.

Because Silvide was going to stay, Baggins and Miss Shesta would not go with them. Although His Royal Highness could help them arrange another sailor, Fang Ling thought that it might not be as reliable as Pasha. So in the end, he reluctantly agreed to the other party's proposal.

But the same sentence:

"We must obey my command," Fang Yu said seriously: "Otherwise there will be no next time."

The little boy nodded repeatedly.

Before leaving, Alev arrived, and the Earl's daughter also arrived.

At the Earl's Mansion, Lavalli followed their advice and came to find Alef, asking the prince to help find Afifa's whereabouts. After hearing this, the latter naturally had no choice but to send the person out directly. It took the two of them a lot of effort to find out that Fang Yu and his group had arrived in the Kasan Palace.

Before they came, they had roughly heard about what happened. This was what Fang Yushi instructed Tianlan to tell the two of them - after Lavalli learned the facts, he became a little calmer, because by his father's side, the earl daughter more or less guessed something.

Alef pursed his lips tightly, and walked up to pat Fang Zhu on the shoulder.

"I can't live without Questak, I'll give it to you by my father."

Fang Zhuan nodded to him.

"You need to be careful, too," he reminded: "The primary task of the blind followers is to resurrect Descartes, so their first goal must be the 'green' fragments in the sea of ​​illusion, but judging from their arrangements with Princess Rupert, they must be prepared in Questak City-"

"Leave it to me, Ed," Alev replied, "I will be optimistic about Questak. As for Affifa, I will rely on you."

"I will take good care of her."

"It's them," Alef corrected, "and so are Miss Afifa. Do you still remember what the Father said to you?"

Fang Zhu was slightly stunned.

He remembered the words that the King of Sand said to him earnestly on the night of the Star Ritual. The other party entrusted him to take care of Afifa, but the tone was not like talking about his lost lover - rather about one of his daughters. He felt a little strange at the time, but now, it seems that he has just come back to his senses-

"In the eyes of the people of the desert, having the same name is a wonderful fate."

Alef replied slowly: "I don't have a deep impression of the princess, but Afifa has always had a good relationship with me. In fact, the moment I saw that girl, I felt kind in my heart, so I said that way."

"Afifa is my sister, so does her."

"I guess my father finally understood this."

"So do you remember what you promised him?"

Fang Yu looked at the eldest son of Wang and nodded slightly.

What he didn't expect was that Princess Rupert could not understand everything, but instead His Highness saw the thoughts of the King of Sands.

As Count Nurman said, the supreme above the sea of ​​sand may have already accepted all this failure - he looked at Afifa only as he looked at his other daughter. He let her learn and grow among the wise man, and not be disturbed by the outside world, and even herself was not clear about her own life experience.

Such meticulous care is really as the eldest princess saw. Is it just a replacement for her own wife?

Since he had already accepted all this-

So what is the king of sand now pursuing?

Or as Delan said?

With these thoughts, under the other party's gaze, Fang Zhu turned around and walked towards the boat.

Everyone has already boarded the ship.

As the princess said, it was just a small boat.

It is even much smaller than the Qihai Traveler in the design. The first impression it gives is that it is small, but although the sparrow is small, it is complete with all organs. A high mast stands in the middle of the ship, the snow-white sail is like a wing, and the hull is painted with beautiful patterns, as if it carries a girl's past dreams and yearnings - it is not as luxurious as royal supplies, but a little simple.

Ms. Papamo climbed to the top of the boat and put the sail down...

For ten years, it has been moored in this place without moving. Although it has been well maintained, it is no longer a new ship. Therefore, just completing the preparations before setting sail - it is enough for everyone to sink from the sunset until the rising of the silver moon - until the frost-like twilight envelops the city in the desert.

The last one to arrive was Princess Afifa.

She seemed a little unusually taciturn, and walked onto the boat without saying much.

Fang Rong saw the little princess lowering her head, her eyes were a little red, as if she had just cried.

But in front of her sister and Alef, she was still strong, biting her lip without saying anything.

Princess Rupert looked at her sister and couldn't help but sigh softly. She seemed to want to say something, but in the end she didn't speak.

The guide arranged by His Highness the Princess is an old acquaintance, Mr. Hummingbird from the Woodpecker Brotherhood.

When the latter saw Fang Yu, he took off his hat and signaled: "We're meeting again, Mr. Ed."

Fang Yu looked at the other party with a suspicious look: "Why are you here?"

The latter smiled and said, "Your Highness the Princess is also our old customer."

"Mr. Afangde is a member of the Temple of War. At present, except for the Oath Guardian clan, only they are completely reliable." The eldest princess explained.

Fang Yu only then realized it.

Only then did he remember that his first contact with the Woodpecker Brotherhood was also introduced by Bishop Faris.

It is natural for these Questak’s demons and gods to have connections with His Royal Highness, who is well-known for his hands and eyes. With the infiltration of the people around him, it is an extremely wise choice for the other party to choose people from the forces of the Temple of War in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the blind followers.

And he also realized that this "Hummingbird" named Afangde was not just an intelligence dealer—also a qualified warlock.

Although the other party was dressed like a ranger, it seemed to be just a disguise. The other party skillfully took over the magic engine from Luo Yu's hand, then fiddled with it for a few times, then the boat shook slightly, and then soared into the air from the lake.

"Mr. Alfonde was once an excellent warlock," the eldest princess watched the scene below and spoke: "His mentor, once my mother's mentor, knows where the sea of ​​magic is and can avoid some potential dangers along the way."

“Potential danger?”

Fang Yu suddenly realized that he seemed to be ignoring something.

But Afangde smiled and inserted it in: "It's just a little trouble, Mr. Ed."

Fang Yu looked at the man suspiciously.

I hope so.

...

Boats cannot take off in the lake, so they must first drive along the lake shore into the canal, pass through the locks, enter the inner city, and finally arrive at the outer city, and take off from there.

The woods darkened and lights were lit. In order to facilitate their actions, the place had already claimed to be undergoing major repairs in advance. The lakeside was brightly lit all night, and outsiders seemed to have no doubt about him. The series of arrangements between the day finally worked at this moment, and everyone worked together. With the help of Seishel, the eldest princess easily replaced the men sent by the craftsmen with the oath guardians.

The person who was responsible for covering the craftsmen's association was Ms. Erna who came.

The people on the shore watched the standing sails get farther and farther away-

Lavalli felt a little uneasy when she saw this scene and couldn't help but turn around.

Alef patted the latter's shoulder gently and comforted her - although there were some problems with the orientation of the Earl's daughter, it did not hinder the friendship between the two.

Soon there was only the sound of "swish" water left in the darkness.

Alef also silently looked at the shadows that disappeared in that direction.

"Please trouble you, Ms. Elna," Princess Rupert thanked the female president of the Giant: "We shouldn't have brought you in, but we couldn't think of a better candidate for a while."

Elna shook her head indifferently, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes. "What are you saying? I grew up in this place, and it is impossible for me to go back to Giant Island as I did in the past. And the experience of studying at Questak is still vivid in my mind. There are many people who have helped me in this city... This is so serious, and I don't want them to get involved in this huge vortex."

She paused.

"And since the Giant War, the dark believers have been enemies of civilization. Isn't the history of the alchemists the history of fighting them? How can I be the last one? What's more, every Questak is happy to serve His Highness the Great Princess."

"Over-worthy, President Elna." Princess Rupert whispered from the side.

But Erna was very serious: "Every Istani is familiar with the story of your Highness, the Great Princess, and every Istanien is familiar with you."

Princess Rupert turned around and looked at Alef, who was only one year younger than her.

She stared at the dark shadow in the woods behind her and replied softly: "Actually, I have heard of you, Madam President."

Erna's face turned red when she heard this.

She had no reputation, so how could the other party have heard of it? However, when Questak was studying, she was "famous".

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! But she would rather have such a "fame".

She said, "...those rumors may not be true, Your Highness."

Princess Rupert couldn't help but smile.

She looked at her younger brother, Istaniya's future king of sand, left Lavalli and walked to her.

The eldest princess hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Sorry, Alef, there are some things I didn't tell you the truth."

Alef was silent for a while before nodding slightly: "I understand."

"But the Father has given me all this."

“Whether it is power or responsibility.”

He took a light breath: "So Istaniya's future and the future of this city... I will be responsible for your affairs, Afifa, and the princess, and one day it will be revealed-"

"I promise you."

Rupert blinked slightly.

For a moment, she thought she had seen the King of Sands.

...

In the darkness, the people on the boat watched silently as the locks rose not far away, and made a low roar.

The lake roared and rolled out, hitting the boat's side, causing the boat to sway slightly.

Fortunately, it floats on the water surface and does not shake too much.

Fang Yu looked at the hands of the darkness and understood that they had naturally changed - and the people guarding there should be the hands of Seschel and Alev personally assigned by him.

In fact, because during the day, the right minister and the crown prince had closed the city gate and strengthened martial law in the city. Therefore, this order in the evening did not cause much trouble. Even if the blind followers knew about this news, they would probably only smile and understand that this was the consequence of the kidnapping last night.

But what's the use?

The man had already been replaced by Questak, and he should have arrived at the Sea of ​​Illusion at this moment.

At this moment, the twilight drooped, and almost only the last dark red glow remained in the sky.

On the other direction of the Casan Palace, standing on the palace wall, Achilles looked at most of Questak, and he only silently calculated the time in his heart. After a long time, he turned around and looked at the brightly lit Casan Palace in that direction - how long have he been here?

ten years?

Twenty years?

A look of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and the face of the princess flashed through his thoughts.

But soon everything came to darkness.

The alchemist silently took out an object from his chest, and after a moment of clarity, he sighed softly and took it back. Finally, he looked at the grand scene in front of him, as if he wanted to remember it in his heart. After a moment, he silently walked down the city wall.

It's time.

He thought to himself.
