'Looking back at the past at the end of time, destiny has given birth to countless possibilities on the same branch. The starry sky seen by the warlocks in the tower never has only one fixed trajectory, but the understanding of the world is bound by an invisible cage.
A person's life.
The foolish opinions of mortals and gods often point to an inevitable outcome.’
'However, the long river of time is unpredictable, and the silent hand hanging on fate is delighted to see a change taking place. She encourages people to break away from their own destiny and use courage to write a different story from the past.
Psalms.
Otherwise, the stories in the pages of the book will be too gloomy, and time will inevitably come to an end. It will be too much and boring.’
Destiny hangs its crown and bestows its gifts on mortals.
'Just like the sprouting branches of a white tree, it will take its owner through every possibility on the tree of destiny. The owner can return to any node on the holy tree until he finds the opportunity and possibility of change.'
'The rise and fall of the Holy White Moon is the cycle of the white tree's dormancy and resurrection. Within this cycle, you can only use this ability once.'
Fang Plover held the Hailin Crown in his hands and could not say a word for a long time.
At that moment, he finally understood the difference between gods and mortals. This introduction was like thunder in his mind, and all the dragon knight's abilities he knew seemed too pale compared to this description.
How should he explain to others that he can go back to the past?
But fate kept people silent, and he found that he could not tell this matter to others. Tianlan, Alyssa, and even Sylvide and Miya seemed unable to see the attributes on this laurel crown. The poet lady also asked curiously
he:
"Brother Ed, what's wrong?"
"It is useless to me now." The wolf-like girl also misunderstood and looked at him quietly with her silver eyes. "You don't have to hand it back to me. It is what Ms. Roman meant to you."
Reward, now you are its owner."
"no--"
Fang Plover is a little anxious, can't you see the attributes above?
He opened his mouth, but when he finished speaking, it was as if he was suffering from amnesia. The organized language was scattered out of order and turned into a piece of scattered and illogical words. He hesitated for a long time and his mind went blank.
"It's not what?" Tian Lan looked at him with some worry, stretched out her hand and gestured in front of him, "Brother Ed, your brain won't be damaged by Narsuyu, right? Why don't you let Sister Alyssa check you again?
one time?"
"You've just lost your mind." Fang Yu finally lost his temper. He tried several times to make insinuations or extended metaphors, but it was meaningless. As soon as he thought of the description above, or even related to it, he couldn't say it out loud.
He vaguely felt that a gaze was watching him from the dark side. It might be Elaine - or someone else, because the girl said - Aitalia's fate has died, or there is a new one in the starlight.
The will is born.
Since it was meaningless, he gave up - sighed, shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's nothing."
This ability is extremely powerful, but unfortunately he cannot tell others, and it is difficult for everyone to help him refer to it:
Returning to the previous node of the Holy White Tree, is that a metaphor for fate and time? What is the Holy White Tree? He has heard of the White Tree, but it is the Holy Tree of the Holy White Garden, a link between the hill of giant trees and the
The symbol of Amea represents nature, grace and balance, but I have never heard of it being related to fate.
And what kind of backtracking method is it? Where is the previous node, and does it mean time or space? Can he grasp that node? If so, how should he record this node?
When he picked up the crown, a general cognition was born in his mind, telling him what this ability might give him. It was like a deep-rooted idea, injected into his cognition.
That should also be part of the gift of divine power. The lady of Balance said that this crown was a reward given to Elaine because she took a fancy to him - but other than that, he didn't know any other details.
It's impossible for him to test it on the spot, because it clearly states that he can only use this ability once in a cycle when the Holy White Moon rises and sets. It can be seen that no one knows that the Holy White Moon rises and sets again.
What is the falling cycle?
He couldn't even speak, and the Holy White Moon had never appeared in his memory. It would be okay if the Holy White Moon had one month as the lunar phase cycle like Sea Moon Corni, but if the Holy White Moon
It takes a year, ten years or even a hundred years for the moon to rise and set, so wouldn't it mean that he couldn't find a place to cry?
The ebb and flow cycle of the etheric sea is thirty to fifty years. If the Holy White Moon is the moon on the etheric sea, this is really not impossible.
Fang Yu was speechless for a moment, so he had to put away the laurel crown and let Miss Nightingale continue to count the other harvests - the most intuitive harvest of this trip was of course the purpose of their coming here, the secret treasure of Pirate King Rodrigo.
But now it seems that it is difficult to say what the secret treasure is. For Rodrigo and Jed Ham, the most valuable thing in the treasure house is naturally the 'Noble Heart', but the 'Noble Heart'
'It is the carrier of Ms. Odais, so it is naturally impossible for them to take her away again.
As for the 'noble intention' mentioned in the mission, he didn't know exactly what it was. He could only wait until he was free to ask Ms. Odais to see if she had any clues. That thing appeared alone in the mission reward column.
, it’s definitely not as simple as Ms. Odais’ favorability towards them.
As for the second one, it is naturally the Star Device and the dragon hunters in the ruins. That was the original main purpose of the Seven Seas Brigade. However, he had already mastered the design ideas of the Star Device before entering the ruins, so he got it in advance.
award.
According to Miss Nightingale, Adni found many manuscripts and design drawings of her father in the underground vault. Although he may not need those things now, they will give him a deeper understanding of the past Jeldham
The idea is very helpful.
There were many mysteries left behind by the former imperial genius, and Adni's father solved just one of them. Take the Star Device as an example, Odais and the others only left behind the answer to the first chapter of the Key Chapter.
.
That answer made the Dragon Hunters, but whether it was Lyra, Odyss or Shasta, they were born from more than just this.
In his research on the Emerald Star, Jed Ham mostly drew on some conjectures from his ancestor, the imperial genius, but most of those conjectures left no clues, and the former Emerald Star had already been divided.
For three.
Even the last of the fragments was divided into two fragments again, one of which remained in Odais's body and became the Heart of Nobility, while the other, if Fang Plover guessed correctly, should be the one that belonged to Laila.
pieces.
That is actually the technical route to create a pure artificial dragon soul - Ms. Odais's own existence has proved this.
At this point, Helinwell inherited the path of his teacher and left behind the non-attribute magic furnace - Friston opened a new chapter for the Soul School, and Jeldham found the missing key link in the former's plan, using the emerald
The star comes as a vessel for the soul.
Fang Yu did not expect that the three imperial geniuses in the past would end up in the same place by different paths. He silently looked at those design drawings, and a clear technical route had emerged in front of him - that is, since seven centuries ago to the present - the craftsmen have worked tirelessly for the first time.
Two technical routes.
Fairy Dragon Soul.
He put down the drawings and couldn't help but look at his Miss Dragon Soul beside him. Tata was also silent - the question now is, does this technical route have anything to do with the birth of Miss Tata?
Or did the bachelors of the Silver Tower find another way? Unfortunately, Atush and Farif did not know what happened after the fire in the Great Library, not to mention the bad news coming from outside. He vaguely felt that the Silver Tower
What happened to the tower?
Not long ago, Artush personally came forward to accuse him of cheating in the Continental League. Although the domestic community generally understood that it was the empire that was putting pressure on him, they always had nothing good to say about the actions of the first division. However, Mr. Fang Plover
I don’t think the bachelor is like that.
What's more, he had received a message before, which was passed on by people from the Secret Society. It said that Atush and Farif left him a letter. He hadn't had time to receive the letter, but he had roughly guessed it.
Something has arrived.
But everything was still inconclusive until he actually got the letter, so he had to put away his thoughts and think of the provider of these drawings - the dragon hunters underground were mostly controlled by magic circles. It would be worth the loss to transform them back to a universal style, but as long as there was a design
With the drawing in hand, mass production becomes possible.
Moreover, Dragon Hunter has no copyright issues and will never make the same mistake as the Energetic Angel.
Moreover, the dragon hunter's level of star device can also realize many of his ideas that could not be realized in the past. The improved siren structure is one example, but that is just one example.
Fang Yu held down the pile of drawings and asked Miss Nightingale on the other side: "Where is Miss Adni?"
"She was asking about her father," Alyssa thought for a moment and replied: "She went here just for revenge, but about everything that happened twenty years ago, about the pirate king, Mr. Jed Ham and
The relationship between Ms. Odyss seems to be much more complicated than she expected."
Fang Yu nodded, and he guessed the same: "But she also has another identity."
"She confessed to us about this. She is a member of the Shadow Society. One of the purposes of coming here is to prevent the Empire from destroying the seal here. Regarding her identity, the leader can ask in person later
She, Miss Adney said, she won’t hide it from us this time—”
Fang Plover nodded slightly.
Regarding the other layer of identity Adni concealed, he actually had some guesses. For an organization that has been fighting against behemoths like the Empire for many years, it is understandable to be more vigilant about others. Everyone has their own secrets.
But understanding is one thing. Now that they have a common enemy like the Empire, and they have to protect each other's secrets of this underground experience, only by being honest can they rest assured and let each other take care of their backs.
"In the end, there are the treasures."
The most valuable of the wealth Rodrigo left behind was the gold, silver and jewelry. It was the wealth he accumulated from plundering the empire's routes for more than ten years. Most of it belonged to the empire officials, but there was no one present.
People will recognize this.
Those treasures seem a bit vulgar, whether compared to the Noble Heart or the Star Device, but this vulgarity is of high value to the Seven Seas Brigade. In other words - very valuable
.
"We have made a fortune, Captain," even Miss Nightingale's tone was unusually excited, and she happily told him word by word: "That wealth is worth at least tens of millions, no - hundreds of millions.
Riesel.”
"Compared to the Star Device, that's nothing."
Fang Yu was about to say this, but suddenly he was stunned: "Wait a minute - how much did you say?"
"The flagship of the Empire's Northern Navy, the 'Sea Fury', cost 20 years ago 170,000 Imperial Eagle Gold Coins. In other words, this amount of money could have built three 'Sea Furies' at that time," Alyssa told
His own captain blinked, "Of course the situation is not that optimistic. Firstly, the price level 20 years ago was very different from today. Secondly, it is difficult to dispose of these dirt, and there may be a discount, but no matter what -
—”
"Can we build a 'Sea Fury'?" Fang Plover asked.
"Absolutely," Alyssa nodded and said, "Of course that's all. Commander, do you want the Sea Fury? In my opinion, the Sea Fury is not comparable to the Seven Seas Traveler. It is just an old-fashioned dragon from the last era.
Just a knight battleship."
Of course Fang Yu was not interested in the previous generation of battleships, nor did he plan to replace his own ship, but the Seven Seas Traveler was an incomplete version anyway. The eldest princess had funded their construction of this ship, but the
It is impossible for the princess to use the money from the treasury to help.
Fang Plover was already very grateful that the other party could use his private money to help them build the ship. He couldn't help but recall his adventure in the Istanian desert. Although it was difficult, it was also
Made many friends.
Compared with the experience in Oshu, he was originally looking forward to it, but it was a bit boring.
"The other good news is that the Seven Seas Traveler can barely hold this wealth," Alyssa said, "but the bad news is that carrying so much cargo will seriously slow down our speed. What we are doing underground
The thing - I'm afraid the empire won't give us good things to eat, so we'd better deal with these 'dirty things' as soon as possible."
Fang Yu shook his head: "It's definitely not possible in the empire. No one has the guts to swallow these filth related to the empire, not to mention that a large part of them have royal emblems and are the property of the magic emperor."
"And even those who have the courage probably don't have the financial resources to afford it." Miss Nightingale said.
Fang Yu nodded: "And I don't want to lose too much money. We got the star anchor, and then we will prepare to go to the second world. The Seven Seas Brigade still has plenty of money to spend."
"Then what are the plans of the leader?"
"I have an idea." Fang Pultru actually had a strong idea in his mind after hearing the amount of the money. Once the idea came into being, it could not be suppressed. Now it has become concrete and clear, "But
Still need some preparation.”
He looked at Sylvester: "Where can we go next?"
The ship officer lady has been silently surveying and mapping the sea charts, and has not participated in other people's chats - the current empire team of the Seven Seas Brigade has almost come to a perfect end. Except for the slight twists and turns in the Continental League, the goal they want to achieve is almost complete.
All have been achieved.
And since they are wanted by the empire, it goes without saying that they must leave this place. The question now is how to leave. Although the air and sea are vast and vast, the route is not unpredictable.
There are wind elements, ether currents, trade winds, reef areas, and sea monsters on the sea. The ship's route will also be restricted by the supplies it carries - if they want to bring all the gold and silver treasures, the rest of the Seven Seas Traveler can
The space for carrying supplies will be very limited.
Among these people, except for the experienced sailor Baggins, she is the only one who is most familiar with Kukai's temperament and temperament. She knows every route well, which route should be taken to avoid imperial inspections, and perfectly
Get where they want to go.
Only she can decide.
When she was on land, everyone protected her, so when she was in the air and at sea, she should be responsible for the safety of everyone on the ship.
Facing Fang Plover's gaze, Sylvide said softly: "There are actually only three main routes to leave the empire, one of which is the one we took when we came, passing through the cyclically changing trade wind belt, between April and May.
, there will be a window to return to Kaolin-Ithurian before October at the latest.”
"The other way goes to the Hill of Giant Trees and has to cross the Sea of Harui. The advantage is that Narsuyu has just died, and the Nagas need to welcome back their new gods. There may be bloody infighting internally.
Don’t stir up trouble out of your own mind.”
"But the giant pirates on this waterway don't care what happens within the Naga clan. They will wreak havoc in the air and sea all year round. If they encounter the most powerful ones among them, it will be very difficult."
"The last one is to go to Yaliki and detour through Lotao. Mr. Gonzalez suggested that we take this route with them to leave the empire and go to Mirran Temple. But I don't think this proposal is worth considering."
"This route is long and dangerous. The main risk comes from the fact that when we sail north along Xinta'an, we may run into the Empire's Northern Fleet at any time. The Knights of Ancient Training are trustworthy, but I don't know what the Empire will do to Rota.
How much face do Austrian people have?"
These three routes are not ideal, and each has its own risks - and returning to Kaolin-Ithurian is also difficult to consider. Although they have many acquaintances in the Kingdom of Kaolin, they also have many enemies, not even Princess Brianne.
It is recommended that they return to Ithurian now.
But the main route is not simply static. For example, the route to Kaolin-Ishulian has many branch routes, starting from Is, starting from Grofinger in the south, and starting from Istania.
Departed from Yingang.
When they came, they took the Ice Route, which is the famous 'Silver Trout Route', also called the Northern Route.
But Fang Plover actually knew that there was a more remote route that went south through the Zhili Islands—a floating island between Xintaan and the Giant Tree Hill, close to the outskirts of the Silver Chain Islands.
That route is close to the shortest route between the Empire and Tree Hill.
For many years it was used as a smuggling route.
But that route is definitely not safe. Sylvide also reminded: "The Empire people will not be unaware of this shortest route. It is close to the patrol range of the third fleet of the Northern Fleet. The Empire people are likely to be on that route."
A dragnet is set above and below.”
"I know," Fang Yu nodded. He had a dream of commanding an aeroplane, and of course he was not a geography novice. "But we can go through the Zhili Islands and then go south. I remember correctly, there is another one there.
A route.”
"Another route?" Tianlan was confused after hearing this. She was heading south on the chart and couldn't help but ask: "Isn't that back to Kaolin-Ithurian?"
But Sylvide understood what Fang Plover meant.
A glimmer of light flashed in her eyes: "You mean that abandoned ancient route -"
"Ancient routes? Abandoned?" Miss Poet was confused. It is not that there are no abandoned routes in Aitaria. When new and more economical routes are discovered, the old routes will naturally take a back seat, and some are buried in the sea.
in history.
But it is both abandoned and ancient, which makes people think that the problem here may not be simple. Some routes above the sea of clouds have been abandoned. It may not only be the apparent reason, but also the ether circulation in the air and sea has changed.
.
Or sea beasts appear——
And it's an extraordinary sea beast.
"It's not that complicated," Sylvide smiled slightly, agreeing with Fang Plover's judgment, "The reason why this route was abandoned is actually very simple, because it passes through Cape San Juan, which is a paradise for pirates."
"Pirates?" Tianlan was stunned: "Wait, let's go to San Juan?"
"Although St. Xiu'an is on the Ithurian continent, it has never been within the jurisdiction of the Kaolin Kingdom. There, bypassing the far south of the continent, as long as we pass through the Gray Whale Islands, we can not even compete with the Kaolin people's navy.
Deal with each other and directly enter the pirates' territory——"
"But he is a pirate, brother Ed."
"That's not just a pirate territory," Fang Plover smiled, "it's also a lawless free port. We can stay there for a while, then bypass Cape Saint-Hughan and go directly to Rochard, where we will arrive at the Hill of Giant Trees.
Along the coast.”
"So our goal is actually the Hill of Giant Trees?"
Luo Hao, who had been silent until now, spoke up and asked.
Fang Yu nodded. They had already obtained the star anchor. The Seven Seas Brigade would naturally prepare to go to the second world - but there were only two land bridges to the second world, one of which was in the southern border of the empire, in the rainforest.
In the south, there is no need to consider this option at the moment.
And the other one is in the Silver Sea in the Hill of Giant Trees, passing through the broken island chain, and you can step onto the continental bridge leading to the second world——
What's more, Ms. Roman provided him with additional information. His questions about Narsuyu and the Bane Star may be answered at the Giant Tree Hill - and even without this news, he must go to the Giant Tree Hill first.
Qiu went to meet the big cat man and Miss Attila.
Although Miss Attila now seems to be the saint of the Secret Tree Temple, she never said that she wanted to disembark, and the big cat people just asked them to wait for news. Now that several months have passed, the communication between the two worlds has been affected again.
, he must ask the two of them in person about their wishes.
If possible, Dalil actually wants to return to the Hill of Giant Trees along the way.
In order to facilitate this trip, the lady on the balance also told him another big news:
"Ms. Roman told me," Fang Yu said, "Luo Yu is not in any serious condition now. He and Ms. Alesha may be in the hill of giant trees, but they can't contact us for the time being."
"ah?"
Tianlan was shocked, and Miss Poet quickly blinked her eyes hard - although she looked careless, she had actually been worried about the other party all the time during this period, just because the Seven Seas Brigade has never been able to grasp effective information sources.
——
And the news sent back from the Star Gate has never confirmed that Luo Yu has left Aitaria, so in fact, everyone still has hope in their hearts.
It wasn't until this moment that her hanging heart finally fell.
"Really?"
Not only Miss Poet, but other people couldn't help but ask, and even Sylvide couldn't help but cast a surprised glance. After all, everyone had been accustomed to everything on the ship, and suddenly there was no one missing, and everyone was still a little confused.
Not quite used to it.
Sky Blue's eyes even turned red.
Fang Yu nodded again. Although he could not confirm the authenticity of this information, the dignified lady of Tianping would not fool them with such a trivial matter.
He said: "But the Hill of Giant Trees is the most peculiar floating continent in Aitaria——"
"There are countless legends about it," Fang Plover said. "Some people think that it is the remnant of the Elf Twin Tree, while others think that it is the seed of the sacred tree left by the Numei elves, and this new sacred tree was planted.
Giant white tree.”
"But no matter what kind of legend," he continued: "The Hill of Giant Trees is the most special existence far away from Kukai and other continents. A long time ago, in the era when the elves were shielding the world, there were only a few humans.
Been to that place—"
Fang Yu looked at the people Tianlan and Papalar among the crowd. In addition to Attila, Big Cat and Dariel who were born in the Secret Tree Temple, Parker and Miss Poet were also from the Hill of Giant Trees.
, from the second division.
Explorers once called that place the far end of the sea and sky.
The end of the sea of clouds.
It is indeed another starting point of the Continental Bridge, and can also be regarded as the end of Aitaria.
That is the sky and the distant sea.
"We will go to that distant place where the sky and the sea meet," Fang Plover replied, "as our final farewell to Aitaria as we head to the second world."
"Yeah!"
Tianlan couldn't help wiping her tears and jumped up happily: "Then Parker and I have gone home. Parker and I are familiar with the Hill of Giant Trees. Then I will take you to those fun places.
