Sylvide looked in the direction Fang Plover was pointing. Not far away there were several selectors wearing the blue and white cross jerseys of Listening to the Rain, but those people were different from the others. The upper right part of their jerseys
There is also a medium-sized coat of arms and a long cloak.
"What's the matter, captain?" she asked.
When she gets serious, the aristocratic lady seems to prefer this title.
Fang Plover replied: "Those are the members of the Rain Listener brigade."
Sylvester looked at those people again, feeling a little confused.
In Aitaria, troupe members are often the core and elite of a guild. Guilds with a little ambition and ability will form brigades. Some large guilds even have more than one troupe.
Since the tour group can represent the guild in the core competitions of various ultra-competitive leagues, and higher tour group rankings and competition results can attract real investment for guilds and clubs, it is actually an important part of the commercialization of ultra-competitive sports.
That's why top selectors are so important in this era. If a small, unknown club is lucky enough to find a good prospect and stand out with its dark horse performance in one or two seasons, it can gain a reputation and reputation that is no less than that of first- and second-tier guilds.
focus on.
Although this kind of attention does not last long, if the top management of clubs and guilds are managed properly, there are many examples of small guilds becoming first- and second-tier guilds.
Of course, the only one that has directly entered the list of super guilds is the Silver Forest Crown. But that is a special case. The Silver Forest Crown itself was not bad before getting kun, and it was also between the first and second tier guilds.
Wander.
There are so many examples before, so any guild with a little bit of ability will spare no effort to build its own brigade, using the best people, occupying the most guild resources, and more than half of the guild's daily affairs are sometimes related to the brigade's action schedule.
related.
In comparison, the guild's training of trainees is certainly very important, but it doesn't seem to require brigade members to escort them. At least Fang Pliance has never heard of any guild's brigade that has such leisure time.
They have to participate in activities that are closely related to the interests of the guild and compete for the guild's strength, such as the elite team of the Silver Forest Spear that he met at the Elf Ruins; in addition, they also have to participate in various competitions organized by the Super Competitive Alliance.
, to improve team points and rankings, win reputation for the guild, and attract attention.
In the remaining time, there are business activities and daily training arrangements. Where is the time to waste on newcomers? The Spring and Autumn Trials on Fenris Island are held twice a year, and each session takes more than half a month. In other words, the Rainlisteners Guild
If they arrange things like this every year, wouldn't their brigade members have almost nothing to do for two months every year?
How can such a troupe compare with other guilds? The brigades of those small, penniless guilds probably don't look like this. Fang Yu couldn't think of any reason why the other party did this, unless there was another reason.
But this time Sylvide could not answer his question. She shook her head slightly: "I can't answer your question, captain. Her Highness Brianne has been here several times, but she doesn't understand these details either.
."
"What do you think?" Fang Yu asked.
Sylvide thought for a moment silently: "Unless the Rain Listeners have two brigades."
"I'm afraid they don't have that strength."
"That's interesting. I don't think Listening to the Rain will let these people do this kind of hard work every year. I know the Jinwan-Yunzhigang road relatively well, and it's not that unsafe."
"You're right, unless it happens for a reason."
"Then what is the reason that is serious enough to call the elite brigade? Does the captain still remember the night lizards?" Sylvide lowered her voice.
Her voice was gravelly, soft but very penetrating.
Fang Plover heard it very clearly, and he nodded. People who listened to the Rain Hunters said that there were particularly many lizard attacks this night. Had they known about this situation for a long time, so they dispatched members of the brigade? But the scale of the attacks was still
It was beyond the other party's expectations. He knew there would be no unprovoked changes, but why did the Night Lizard man's attacks suddenly intensify?
While thinking about it, several people had already arrived at the place.
The delivery location is outside Listening to the Rain's material storage tent. There is a dedicated person responsible for checking and inventorying. However, since the last unpleasant incident, usually the vice president of Listening to the Rain will also come.
Listener to the Rain erected a simple fence outside the material storage area. The watcher outside the door was also a selector. He had already gotten to know Aitila and others when he came and went, and even greeted them with a smile.
Sylvide and the elf lady also smiled in return. When the young man saw the noble lady, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he looked very embarrassed.
"Hehe, that man looks exactly like Brother Ed before." Tian Lan whispered.
Sylvester looked at him with a smile.
Fang Yu's face turned red and he said angrily: "Tianlan, don't talk nonsense."
The little girl giggled.
"Ed, do you want to go with us?" Attila asked.
Fang Yu shook his head. The inspection was actually just a process. He was not interested in these polite things at all. He might as well stay outside and watch the night view.
Sylvide walked to the level with him, looked at him and replied: "Then I'll stay with you." She then looked at Miss Elf: "Miss Attila, I'll stay with the captain."
Attila glanced at the two of them and nodded in relief.
Tian Lan smiled and said: "Hehe, Sister Sylvide is so cunning."
Sylvester scratched her little nose in a funny way.
Upon seeing this, the young man guarding the door of Listening to the Rain couldn't help but look at Fang Plover with envy.
Fang Yu was also slightly surprised, but he glanced at Sylvide and only replied: "Thank you, Miss Sylvide."
"You're welcome, may I accompany the captain for a walk?"
Fang Yu did not refuse and nodded.
He didn't have any purpose, but he was vaguely concerned about the Rainlistener Guild, but since there was no clue, he didn't want to go too deep. With this thought, he walked through the woods silently, admiring the scenery.
The other side of the valley.
In the distance outside the forest is an exposed mountain ridge. The gray rocks are emitting white light under the moonlight, and the shadows of the clouds are reflected on the rock walls, changing their shapes.
Sylvester said nothing and stood silently beside him.
There was a fleeting light of fire in the forest on the mountainside.
Fang Yu knew that it was the leveling team of Listening to the Rain. Naturally, the guild would not just gather together when marching. The selectors would seize every minute and every second to improve their levels while maintaining contact.
This night seemed to be another peaceful night.
This made the worry in his heart go away. After his mind calmed down, the faint fragrance of the girl beside him seemed to attract more and more attention.
Then he couldn't help but turn around and ask: "Actually, I have always been curious, what does Miss Sylvide see in me?"
He was certainly not a fool, and he could see Sylvester's special attitude towards him, but Fang Yu knew very well that there was no love without reason in this world.
Sylvide looked back from a distance and smiled slightly: "Because the captain is the holder of the fairy dragon soul, which is unique to Sylvide. Isn't this reason enough?"
"But the fairy dragon soul is not unique. As far as Miss Tata knows, there are at least seven. Why did Miss Sylvide choose me? I mean, isn't Miss Sylvide afraid that I am a bad person?"
Sylvide couldn't help but gasp: "Is there such a bad person as the captain?"
"I mean just in case. Besides, Miss Sylvide didn't know me well before this, right?"
"Isn't it just pure appreciation?"
"What do you appreciate? Miss Sylvide is so excellent, I can't think of anything worthy of your appreciation."
"So the captain thinks I'm very good?"
Fang Yu couldn't help but cough slightly.
Sylvide smiled slightly: "Actually, I am the same, but if I have to say, it is probably because I have taken a fancy to the potential of the captain."
"Potential?" Fang Yu shook his head, not believing it: "There are countless people with potential in Aitaria in this era."
The noble daughter looked at him with a smile and replied: "So the captain actually wants to ask, does Sylvide treat everyone like this, right?"
Fang Yu looked away guiltily: "That's not what I meant."
"Is this a little desire for exclusivity by the captain?" She laughed, narrowing her eyes like a cat: "But what does those people have to do with Sylvide? I made an agreement with the captain.
of."
Fang Yu blushed slightly.
After a while, he replied in a low voice: "I will fulfill my promise, Miss Sylvide."
"I have never doubted this."
The girl's voice was rustling and a little soft.
The two stood side by side for what seemed like a long time.
It wasn't until the wind started that Fang Yu said, "Let's go back. Miss Aitila and the others should be almost there."
Sylvester looked at him and nodded slightly.
The two of them turned back through the forest and saw the lights of the camp ahead. They came back just in time to see Etila and Tian Lan walking out of the camp under the escort of each other.
The vice-president was still thanking the two of them. When he saw Fang Plover, his eyes lit up and he said with some surprise: "Mr. Alchemist, are you here too?"
Fang Yu nodded. He was a little embarrassed by the other person's title. Professional titles are generally used to refer to truly professional alchemists, who often have made achievements in a certain field. However, he has not yet reached the tenth level.
The other party mistakenly thought it was just a very high level.
In fact, he doesn't deserve this title at all.
"Are you here to visit our camp?" The man said enthusiastically, "How about taking a seat?"
Fang Yu shook his head repeatedly: "No need." He did come to see what happened inside Listening to the Rain, but since he didn't find anything, he didn't want to get involved in the incident, so there was no need to go further.
Fortunately, the other party did not force it. After the handover with Attila was completed, he enthusiastically offered to send the group off in person.
Naturally, no one refused. Although the Rainlistener Guild was not the largest guild on Fenris Island, it was still a local snake, so there was no need to make the relationship too tense.
But what Fang Yu didn't expect was that as soon as they walked out of the camp, a group of people chased them from behind.
The leader is a young man whom Fang Piao has never seen before. He wears magic armor on the upper body and robe on the lower body. He is in standard battle mage attire, but his expression is very unbeatable, as if all of you owe me a million.
Tianlan's expression changed instantly when she saw this guy. Fang Lu noticed the angry look on the little girl's face and asked curiously: "What's wrong, Tianlan?"
"Huh, that's the guy who made things difficult for Sister Atila before. He called us liars and said a lot of unpleasant things." Tianlan was so angry that she gritted her teeth: "Yesterday, he had someone push me into the water on purpose. If it weren't for Sister Shesta,
If you give me a hand."
Fang Yu looked at the man and touched his rocket flying fist.
The vice president of Listening to the Rain also had a look of hesitation on his face and said with a cold face: "What do you want to do again, Zhang Leng, I have already warned you once."
"Don't worry, Vice President," the war mage named Zhang Leng also frowned: "I'm not here to cause trouble for you precious guests, but for another thing. I just want to ask a question,
Why can’t we contact the guild headquarters?”
Fang Yu was slightly startled when he heard this.
The guild's outgoing detachments cannot contact the headquarters. This problem can be big or small, for example, it is like the situation of the Knights of Tapolis in the illusion of Dolifen.
But usually, even if there is a problem with the communicator, there are other means, such as virtual communities. Situations like the Oak Knights of Tapolis are isolated cases after all.
The vice president frowned and said in a stern voice: "Who told you, Zhang Leng, what qualifications do you have to ask this question? You don't have this authority, who leaked the secret to you?"
"So you have known about this for a long time, right, Vice President?" Zhang replied coldly: "Don't worry about how I know about this, you just need to answer yes or no,
What is your attempt to keep all of us in the dark?"
Fang Plover and Tian Lan looked at each other.
Sylvide and Attila, who are aborigines, may not understand it yet, but they are two stowaways and one trainee, but they have basically understood the conversation.
And the two of them also obtained a large amount of information from it.
Generally speaking, the guild's detachment must strictly keep confidentiality when operating outside. On the one hand, sometimes it involves business confidentiality or contractual provisions.
On the other hand, it is also out of the need to prevent damage from hostile guilds and competitors.
Under such circumstances, the team's communication is strictly controlled, and most people's communicators have to enter a forced silent state, just like the communication state between Hong Ye and Wu Di that Fang Pultru has seen before. This is the reason.
Only a few people with authority can contact the guild headquarters during exploration and operations. It is for this reason that the vice-president of Listening to the Rain appears shocked and angry.
But if the battle mage named Zhang Leng hadn't lied, what was inside would be even more meaningful. A vice-president actually chose to hide the news from everyone when he couldn't contact the guild headquarters.
If this was not a double-blind arrangement by the guild itself for the highest level of confidentiality, the amount of information contained in it would be too great.
Fang Yu suddenly remembered that this team even included the elite brigade of Listening to the Rain.
This made him feel that something was very wrong.
Since the Stargate Era, Fang Plover has never heard of a vice-guild leader defecting with half of the guild and the guild's brigade. Could it be said that he has to witness it with his own eyes today?
But that's a little too outrageous.
This kind of thing can only happen in aboriginal power organizations, because the selectors have dual identities in the real world and the new world. Unless the top leaders of the guild really make people angry and people are heartbroken, otherwise ordinary selectors will
It is almost impossible for them to make such a choice just because they follow a certain person.
They are also less likely to be coerced, because of the flat management methods of modern guilds, there is no such thing as unclear explanation of one's position. What's more, there is a selector system and a virtual community. How can defectors bring most of them with them?
If the guild leaves, should these people be kicked out of the guild one by one?
But that doesn't make sense either.
Not to mention that except for the Free Guild, most of the selectors in Aitaria have real-life backgrounds. In addition to taking away a few people, defecting in the game will have almost no impact on the operation of the club. On the contrary, it will be severely affected.
Severe sanctions from competitive leagues.
Fang Yu felt that there should be no one with a brain problem who would make such an outrageous judgment...
While he explained in a low voice to Attila and Sylvide, he looked at the vice president to see what the other party's explanation was.
Although at this time, he still felt that this matter had nothing to do with him, it was just an internal matter of Listening to the Rain.
But unexpectedly, the vice president hesitated a little, and his tone softened a lot: "This is the club's arrangement. We, the management, know what is going on. Zhang Leng, don't look for trouble."
"Huh," Zhang Leng sneered. He looked at Fang Pliance and then replied: "Vice president, how long do you want to lie? The club's community can no longer log in. Do you want to say that this is just a party?"
A trivial matter? Arrangements by the club? Unfortunately, I also heard some news."
"Shut up, Zhang Leng!"
The vice president's expression suddenly changed and he interrupted him sharply.
This sudden outburst startled Fang Plover. He looked at the two parties in astonishment, just in time to see the combat mage shrug his shoulders:
"Why don't you let me tell you, Vice President, what good things have been done by the club? The official said that they have all fled in fear of crime, leaving us alone in Etalia. I heard that the military has intervened
What is your intention to hide it from all of us?"
"Don't think we don't know what you mean by bringing out the three training camps and the Storm Brigade this time. We need an explanation," Zhang Leng looked at the other party and said word by word: "What do you want?
What are you doing, respected Vice President?"
The other party's words were like a rolling thunder falling among everyone.
Fang Yu opened his mouth wide and couldn't help but cursed in his heart. What the hell is going on? Why did the military get involved again?
