The Port of Andreus is filled with a gloomy style as a whole, as if it is dilapidated and depressed. Storms from the ocean often hit the port. After the storm, the port shows a dilapidated scene, even in the long summer.
Afterwards, it was the same.
The old sentry has been stationed at this port for nearly twenty years, watching the ships coming in and out, the comings and goings of people, and the transportation of supplies. A mast is as tall as a forest, and the sails are hanging on it, but it is such a building that seems to be sealed in time.
The old port seems to have changed now.
The old sentry knew the source of that change and sighed in his heart: "We are going to fight again."
The children running and playing nearby passed through the street like a gust of wind. One of them crossed the bushes, stopped at the other end of the fence, and said hello: "Good afternoon, Mr. Sentinel, my fruit is ripe."
, Mom asked me to bring you some."
Few people knew his original name. The children only knew that there was a lonely old man who lived here all year round and guarded the lighthouse on the promontory. Over time, they called him by this 'title'.
The old sentinel himself had no objection.
The child held up the bright fruit in his arms and gestured to him.
"Thank you Mrs. Santos for me. Just put down the fruit. You can play in the yard for a while, but you must go home before the sun goes down. Also, you can't climb to the top of the lighthouse."
After speaking, the old sentry turned around and looked towards the port.
"I understand." The child nodded obediently, turned around and waved, and a group of children appeared out of nowhere.
The children entered the yard. They actually liked it quite a lot. The lighthouse could overlook half of the Port of Andreus, and the scenery was beautiful. The children sat on the wall, thinking that they were generals and commanders of the navy, and the ships in the port were regarded as
Own fleet, talk loudly.
Many years have passed, and the children have changed one after another. Those who have grown up earlier have left this port on big ships, going to big cities, or fighting on the air and sea. But the rest has not changed.
How many.
The old sentry looked at the ships in the port. Those dragon-shaped ships belonged to the Imperial Navy, but they were already very old sailboat models. Even before the Battle of Byrne, they were no longer the main force of the Imperial Navy. Now, they are even more
Used only as a training ship.
"Mr. Old Sentinel, Joyce's father, and other adults have been recalled to the army." The child avoided the others, came behind him, raised his head and asked, "Is there going to be a war?"
The old sentinel looked back at him and replied: "It is an honor for men to be recalled to the army. One day you will grow up and understand this."
"But I miss my father," the child said. "After the adults leave, who will protect us? The 'storm' is coming."
The old sentry fell silent.
The child looked at him and then at the dark clouds gathering in the sky, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
The stormy sea at this time of year is falling into fury.
…
"Ed hasn't woken up yet?"
"No, Sister Miya, the leader has been in a coma for a day and a night."
Miya asked as soon as she returned to the Seven Seas Traveler. The person responsible for answering her was Tianlan who was guarding here. In the past day and two nights, most of the repair work had been completed on the Seven Seas Traveler. At this moment, everyone on board
They were all staying at their posts, preparing for the last moment - but she was the only one who seemed a little idle.
However, she was sharp-tongued and inherited the poet's consistent ability to comfort people: "You don't have to worry too much. Sister Sylvide said that the leader is fine. Miss Tata also checked him out. This is what she said -
—”
"His conscious world has been disturbed in some way, but it is not an attack. It is more like passively receiving some information." Tian Lan imitated the tone of Miss Goblin, which can be said to be lifelike.
"Passive acceptance of information?"
Tianlan nodded.
Miya's frowning eyebrows relaxed slightly, she breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at her with silver eyes, "Miss Tata is behind you."
"Ah? Ah -" Tian Lan was startled and turned around quickly, "Miss Tata, I, I..."
Fortunately, Tata didn't intend to care about anything, as that was not in line with her usual temperament.
The fairy lady who seemed to be unable to wake up just flew over and circled in front of Tianlan. Then she looked up with a calm face and looked at the wolf girl in front of her, "Miss Miya, how's it going down there?"
Miya shook her head, "The people from the three major guilds are paying attention to the obelisk, but the rest of the people are different. They are not in the same group. Those people deliberately did not tell others about me, just because they wanted to see a joke.
Or maybe there is still a trace of unwillingness.”
"Even if they knew you were a dragon knight, Miss Miya, would they dare...?" Tianlan blinked.
"They just guessed that, after all, I didn't display the real dragon knight's domain." Miya replied, and couldn't help but recall the previous scene——
The moonlight is as quiet as water, reflecting in the forest.
She was suspended in mid-air, looking at everyone below. Her raised right hand controlled the flying blade in mid-air, and her long fingertips pointed at Enigma, AOA and the members of the Falcon Group - everyone subconsciously stepped back.
One step forward.
There seemed to be a silent silence permeating the forest at that moment.
Everyone in the forest near and far stopped one by one. Communication channels had already been established between the three elite brigades of the empire. News of the dead people was immediately sent back from the community, and other people apparently also learned about it.
the opponents they faced.
When the news came back to the rear, Enigma, AOA and the three commanders of the Falcon Regiment all had a buzzing sound in their heads. They were a little confused for a moment. Especially the look on the face of Ronos, the commander of the Falcon Regiment.
It's fickle - one dragon knight, how can there be so many dragon knights in this world?
The uneasiness in his heart almost turned into reality, and he couldn't help but subconsciously asked: "What's her name -?"
"What, you know her?"
"No, it's nothing," the former shook his head quickly, trying his best to suppress the uneasiness in his heart and said, "It's just that there are only so many famous dragon knights among the selectors. The other party must have an origin, right?"
When the other two people thought that this was indeed the case, they quickly asked: "What is her name?"
"The other party has not revealed her identity, but she possesses abilities similar to force field spells or blade wielding. It is visually estimated that she is a dragon knight in the direction of a magician, a... uh, a lord of time and space, or a storm king."
"A wizard?"
The three people grasped the key words at the same time, but Enigma's leader's eyes flashed, and Falcon leader Ronos looked a little surprised.
Gray Wolf immediately thought of the information. There was a magician who had cast a super-ring spell and was operating with the Seven Seas Brigade. Could it be her? The other party was indeed a young woman.
But the outside world has no way of knowing the identity of the female mage, and there is no news at all from the guild. He can't think of a reason, so he can only keep it in mind as an exclusive news.
Unexpectedly, that magician turned out to be a dragon knight, and indeed he was the Lord of Time and Space. He was the top profession among force field magicians. I heard that the magician had used abilities similar to space teleportation in Ayinbrok. Everything happened now.
It's all right.
But since it is a dragon knight, the method of targeting must be changed. With Enigma and AOA, it is not impossible for the Falcon Group to join forces and leave a dragon knight. At least it will be no problem to delay the opponent for a while. Wait until the guild
Just send someone over.
Is it really necessary to just start a war with a dragon knight? They must at least show the courage of three elite brigades to withdraw from the battle order. At their level, not everyone in the team has an extra chance of resurrection.
.
Thinking of this, the grand leader immediately retreated. They originally just wanted to take advantage, but now it seems that this advantage is not so easy to take advantage of.
He looked at the other two people standing aside. The complicated expression on Ronos's face made him slightly startled. "Friends of the Falcon Regiment, do you know any other information?"
"No," Ronos shook his head decisively, "I'm just thinking about how to solve this matter."
His mind was full of doubts, and he remembered another incident that happened not long ago. That incident about the second world has been classified as top secret by the guild. He has only heard about part of it and knows that it is related to Covenant Mountain.
Related to the whereabouts of the sea witch.
But suddenly there was a female dragon knight in the first world. He had never heard of it before. How could it be such a coincidence? It's just that the power shown by the other party was not like the "Grey Sea" of the Sea Witch.
, more like the rumor about Aiyin Block not long ago——
The time is also right.
Gray Wolf looked at Ronos, knowing that the other person was not telling the truth, but he actually had his own secrets. The alliance between Enigma, AOA and the Falcon Group was only temporary. In fact, no one would tell the truth. He
He opened his mouth and said, "There's no need to go to so much trouble, just ask for a truce."
"They don't seem to want to fight us to the death."
Marshall also agrees with this view.
If you can't take advantage, then settle for the next best thing. They are essentially working for the club and there is no need to risk their own careers.
News of the truce came quickly.
"This lady - no, madam, friends from the Seven Seas Brigade, we have a proposal."
Miya was looking condescendingly at the envoy sent by Enigma - the Nightingale.
This person should be the highest-level selector among the three teams and the planner of the attack. She has noticed the opponent for a long time, but she has not expanded her dragon knight domain.
It should have been like spreading mercury, spreading along the forest floor like gurgling water, covering everything along tree roots and rocks, and dragging everyone it passed into that unique world.
Even the person in front of me can't escape.
The world called the 'Sea of Gray' is a space woven by imaginary strings. The world itself is empty, with only stars hanging down from the sky.
It was a world made up of lines, like a piece of white paper spread out. Use a pen to outline criss-crossing lines of longitude and latitude on the paper, and then pull up those lines one by one to form undulating mountains, rivers, grass and trees.
.
However, that unique world is well known to the outside world and is the origin of her witch name, so she cannot perform it here.
Not to mention, her dragon knight itself is still dormant.
She looked at the other party and said bluntly: "You don't want to fight?"
"Uh," Nightingale from Enigma didn't expect this lady to have such a personality, but she didn't deny it either. She looked up at Miya and nodded: "Yes, that's it. We didn't expect you to have a dragon knight.
.”
In the forest, Dali'er was still confronting the people from AOA and Enigma. The knight lady couldn't help but snorted when she heard this: "Huh, you didn't expect that there are dragon knights on our ship, so you can attack us wantonly.
?”
She raised her sword with her furry claws and pointed at these people: "I heard that Prometheus is behind Enigma, and Gray Field is behind you. Let me see the style of the three top guilds in the first division."
Alyssa glanced at her from the side and didn't stop after thinking about it. Of course she understood the behavior of these large guilds. These incredible values seemed normal to the other party. How could the stronger party reason with the weaker party?
Isn’t this the essence of hyper-competition?
This idea is popular in the first and second divisions. Although Dariel was born in the Hill of Giant Trees, she stayed in the Shadow Tree Temple and actually didn't understand the operating principles of these top clubs.
But Miss Nightingale is well aware of the current situation. At this time, the Seven Seas Troupe should be even tougher in order to convince the other party - Dalier's performance showed such strength just right.
But the envoy only looked at Miya in mid-air.
Miya thought for a moment and said, "Okay, how do you plan to compensate?"
"compensation?"
Not to mention that the envoy from Enigma was stunned for a moment, even Alisa was shocked by the brain circuit of this genius of the Sea Witch. In her opinion, this did not look like the thinking mode that a normal person should have.
She couldn't help but look up.
Facing the elite troupes from Prometheus, Gray Field and other parties, they made such a request. Even though the other party was not from the core guild of these three top clubs, in fact, from the outside, there was not much difference.
If necessary, they can directly ask Prometheus and Gray Field for help. It is not impossible for the other party to send one or even two dragon knights for one of the seven obelisks.
"Madam, you are kidding," the envoy said nervously, "we are not as weak as you think when we join forces."
But Miya's order was very clear. She looked past that person and looked at the person behind him, "I can join forces with any of you. Which of you intends to exclude the other two parties?"
Obelisk!
Suddenly an idea flashed in Enigma's envoy's mind, and he broke into a cold sweat.
"Wait!" He shouted quickly, as if he had received some instructions from behind, and his forehead was already shining brightly. "You are really not interested in that obelisk, so what are your requirements?"
Miya looked at him and replied: "To buy money for the journey."
"...to buy road money, you?" The envoy almost shouted, "...you think you are robbing us?"
"What if?"
Mia asked back.
Dalil almost collapsed when she heard this. She was not serious, but she never thought that one day she would stand here and rob the three top guilds in the first division. And currently, it seems that there is still a possibility of success.
.
Ms. Catman couldn't help but look around. I don't know how wonderful this scene would be if it were filmed in the community. But unfortunately, no one dares to do this. The three major clubs want face, unless these people don't care about their careers.
career.
As for the selectors who are not affiliated with the three major clubs, it is possible, but it is a pity that they are too far away, and they may not know what is happening here at the moment.
Alyssa was also looking up at the legendary witch in mid-air, and couldn't help but look at her with admiration. No wonder the outside world said that this person was willful, had an eccentric personality, and was extremely difficult to get along with, but now it seems...
…It seems like there are just some…
A muscle?
Is this the legendary sea witch?
She couldn't help but look a little strange.
But the obelisk has become a lingering concern for the three top brigades. It would be fine if they came from the same force, but as competitors, the covenant between them is more reliable than a piece of waste paper.
Not going anywhere.
No one can safely hand over their back to others. In fact, when Miya raised that possibility, the envoy from Enigma understood that the fragile relationship between the three brigades had actually broken down.
Rather than betting on the reliability of these old rivals, it is better for each of us to take a step back and seek safer possibilities.
Isn't it just compensation? Apart from the appearance, it doesn't look good, but when it comes to money, elite teams like them are not short of money at all, and they don't even need to contact the guild.
Seeing the other party's compromise, Miya also put down her right hand, and several flying blades fell from the air and fell to the ground——
The other party was even more afraid when he saw this scene.
You must know that these flying blades originally came from them. The magic equipment requires the support of the magic furnace, and the opponent can take it easily. Isn't this the ability of the Dragon Knight?
If something looks like the legendary Dragon Knight realm, and the power it generates is the same, coupled with the mysterious ability and rich combat experience of the woman in front of her, then she must be a genuine Dragon Knight
.
But Miya was not surprised - although Yu's ability could not be used, she was very familiar with its manifestations - as a former real dragon knight, it was too easy for her to do this.
What's more, there is that woman helping behind the scenes——
While silently recalling everything that had happened before, she raised her hand and took off her hood, revealing the silvery, smooth, pointed wolf ears behind them. The tips of the ears trembled slightly in the air, and asked: "
Has the other party’s compensation been delivered?”
"It was delivered, but not much." Miss Poet wrinkled her nose and was very dissatisfied. "The compensation amount they finally negotiated was only one million Lisels. It still adds up to so much.
!”
"That's enough," Miya replied: "It doesn't matter how much, they don't lack the money, they just can't afford to lose this person. If it's too much, the joke will inevitably be too big."
"Sister Miya, it turns out you know everything?" Tian Lan looked at the other party in surprise.
Miya nodded, "I let them take the money to vent my anger on Ed, and to warn those people to stay away from the Seven Seas Brigade. If I acted tougher at that time, they would be more convinced, right?
Miss Alisa?”
Miss Nightingale's voice suddenly came from the communication crystal hanging on the sky blue collar: "She is indeed the Witch of the Sea, but after we leave, they will inevitably discover the truth. In fact, there is no obelisk here at all-"
Miss Poet was overjoyed: "This is the most interesting part, hahaha. I can't help but laugh when I think of those guys stealing chickens without breaking a handful of rice. And once we go to heaven, they don't know that we will go there."
Somewhere, those bad guys from Division One deserve what they deserve."
But Alyssa was not as optimistic as she was: "The obelisk is missing. I'm afraid they will not think that they have been deceived from the beginning. After all, the leader has seen the real obelisk. If not, those people will not
You might be fooled."
After all, Tianlan is not stupid, and she is also from a big guild. She was stunned for a moment and then immediately reacted: "Sister Alyssa, you mean they will target us."
"I must remind you that being targeted by the empire and being targeted by a top club are two completely different concepts," Miss Nightingale replied somewhat seriously: "Even if we are wanted by the empire, the top guilds in the first division are actually
It is also unlikely that they will send their real elites to trouble us. After all, the interests of the selectors and the indigenous people are inconsistent."
She paused: "But once they think that we are related to the whereabouts of an obelisk, it will be completely different... I think you all understand what the obelisk means to these top guilds. I don't need to tell you."
Only then did Tianlan understand. She couldn't help being startled and a little worried: "Sister Alyssa, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Because Ed has no extra choice," Miya replied: "When you are not strong enough, you can only make this choice, but since you have chosen emergency measures, you must face the consequences."
But she didn't seem to care too much, "But these are not important. Since you have come into contact with one of the obelisks in Fenris, you will be involved in this vortex sooner or later. Wait until Ed wakes up about this matter."
Let’s talk about it after we get here.”
The wolf girl looked at Tianlan, and also at the communication crystal between Tata and Alyssa, "The top priority is that we have to leave this place to ensure our own safety. So has Jita returned to the ship, and how long can the illusion be sustained?"
"Jita has already returned to the ship," Tianlan replied: "It's just that the illusion can only be sustained for less than thirty minutes."
"When will the ship take off?" Miya asked again: "How much materials have been transported, and how well have the traces of the laboratory and mithril mine been covered up?"
"It's almost done," Tata said: "After Mr. Baggins reconnects the mast and performs final inspections, it can take off."
"The materials have almost been moved. The rest that cannot be moved are left in Jed Ham's laboratory. The traces on the river beach are almost covered. If the other party doesn't dig three feet into the ground, there shouldn't be any problem.
Come," Alyssa also replied, "but they may find traces of the mithril mine there, but they shouldn't be able to find the laboratory in a short time."
Miya nodded.
She couldn't help but frown. The only trouble now was the forces of selectors who were not affiliated with the three major guilds. Those selectors from the empire should have realized that they could not participate in the three major guilds' fight for the obelisk.
bingo.
Driven by profit, they are likely to take risks and launch an attack on the Seven Seas Brigade. This is what Enigma, AOA and the Falcon Group are happy to see. They deliberately did not publicize her story. I am afraid it is also
For this purpose.
Although theoretically speaking, as long as she showed the intimidating power of the Dragon Knight, she could naturally deter these evil-minded guys, but she couldn't. Let's not talk about the status of her Dragon Knight, even the identity of the Sea Witch itself is more powerful than the Obelisk.
There is a more important secret.
Once exposed, this newly formed team may face disaster.
Originally, in the original plan, after she came forward, the rest of the matter could be left to Fang Pliance. Once the constructs in Jed Ham's laboratory were activated, they could use thunder to suppress those people.
.
But I never expected that the plan would go wrong in this aspect.
Fang Yu unexpectedly lost consciousness inexplicably in the underground laboratory and did not wake up for a day and two nights.
As a result, the period before the Seven Seas Traveler takes off will be the most dangerous time for them. Once those people launch an attack, and they cannot come up with a quick way to cut through the mess, they may actually cause Enigma and AOA.
Suspicion of the man with Sea Eagle Feather.
She wasn't worried about those smelly fish and rotten shrimps.
But the people from the three top guilds are definitely not that easy to fool.
Thinking of this, Miya finally couldn't help but ask: "So before this, what happened to Ed?"
Tianlan and Miss Goblin looked at each other, and Tata was about to speak, but Alyssa interrupted her from the communication crystal: "Let me speak, after all, besides Jita, I was the first to arrive at that place.
of."
"We found Ed in that basement at that time. The first one to find him was Ji Ta, and the others arrived after being notified by Miss Scholar——"
"There were no traces of an attack at the scene. The leader just fell unconscious on the ground. It should be under a wall. In fact, I remember that place. Before we returned to the ground for the first time, there should be a Supreme Being machine there.
Pack."
"I remember that device," Miya said, "Why, it disappeared?"
