The storm water has not completely receded, but there is already a hint of coolness in the autumn cloud harbor. The poet played the piano in a low voice, and some fuel was added to the fireplace on one side of the wall, burning a thin layer of flames.
, the light passed through the dull pine wood floor of the hall and shone on the faces of the people at the long table at this end.
Etila is still sitting in the main seat. This is the result of everyone giving in unanimously, but most of their eyes fall on the young man next to Miss Elf. Fang Plov is still wearing a long beige shirt and a leather vest, which is soft and soft.
His long hair is on his forehead and he is looking around at everyone
Miss Attila, Mr. Big Catman, Luo Yu, Tian Lan, Jita, Miss Sylvide, and her maid Siesta, there are many of them. The box and Parker also arrived. The boy changed his outfit, but
He was still so middle-aged, and the latter was squirming around in his chair, not restless.
There was an uninvited guest at the other end of the main table, Princess Bree-Calanthirian. This elf princess sat there leisurely, looking at him and Sylvide, her eyes full of gossip.
color.
There was another mysterious guest beside her. He lowered his head and covered his face with a hood. Only two strands of hair were exposed on his chest. Fang Yu had vaguely guessed the identity of the guest, but he did not speak.
Then there was a tall, one-eyed man. Today he was not wearing a headscarf, only a dirty coat. He was leaning against a pillar on one side, protecting Fang Plover in the direction of Sylvester.
One is his future captain, and the other is the daughter of the man he swore allegiance to.
Fang Yu already knew that this big man was called Baggins, and he was a subordinate of Sylvide's father. He had served as a bosun and gunnery officer on the ship for a period of time in his early years, and he had a lot of skills. After Sylvide finally chose to join this team,
So he dismissed everyone, and only this person was left, which shows that he is extraordinary.
Of course, she didn't suffer many twists and turns during the process of joining. Everyone agreed to the noble daughter's request. Among them, Tianlan looked like she would die with anyone who disagreed. Fortunately, no one objected, even Guanyin.
Luo Yu, who had dissent, also voted in favor this time.
However, calling her the daughter of a nobleman at this time is actually not quite true. After all, she has chosen to bid farewell to her past identity. In the future, she will be a beautiful and intelligent ship officer lady who only belongs to them.
In terms of level, Baggins is about level 15, and his experience distribution is that of a pure combat professional musketeer, a profession that combines melee combat and musket shooting. He is good at using scimitars, bayonets and handguns. Of course, he actually had more than this level in his early years.
, only because he was permanently disabled in a battle, his level dropped significantly, and he became what he is today.
Sylvide said that her father, Sir Mawei, once offered to help the other party, but he politely declined. They are arrogant and lonely, which may be the character of these sea wolves. However, the addition of Baggins can be regarded as removing the big cat from the team.
In addition to Siesta, a third high-level combatant was welcomed.
At this time, the distribution of professions in the team had actually changed to a certain extent when Fang Plover met everyone. For example, Miss Elf faintly retreated from her original front-line fighting position and became the manager of the team.
The person is mainly responsible for logistics and daily chores for everyone.
As a druid and a chef, she is more comfortable with these matters than before.
Parker also changed from the original reconnaissance unit and scout to the main shooter, while Fang Plover took over the Papalal's original position and took on the task of scout with the Clockwork Fairy.
Of course, in fact, for more professional teams, Nightingale and Ranger are more suitable for this position. After all, compared to front-line reconnaissance (scout and vanguard), the combat craftsman is actually more suitable for the position of field-control reconnaissance (observer)
, because although its field of view is wider, it also lacks the ability to respond to ambushes and surprise attacks when the enemy is hidden.
However, at lower levels, this is not a big problem.
As for those former subordinates of her father whom Sylvide dismissed, there is no need to worry, because Princess Brianne promised to be responsible for the fate of these people. As a former hero of the Battle of Byrne, this is a big deal for her.
It's just a piece of cake.
A transparent wooden cabinet hangs above. The black pine frame is inlaid with six sides of glass. Inside is a five-column brass crystal lamp, which shines brightly and illuminates the tabletop.
The long table is covered with a layer of light red plaid cloth, with plates and knives and forks placed on it. Local fruits and croissants are placed in baskets. Fenris yogurt is placed on the tray, which is baked piping hot.
potatoes, a salted kipper.
Just after the disaster, Yunzhi Port did not have sufficient supplies.
However, the aroma of the food still made everyone's throats twitch. Fang Plover was in a coma for nearly half a month. Although he was not injured, he hardly ate anything. His body system was already reminding him that he needed to eat urgently.
Everyone was in a tacit understanding while eating, and almost no sound was made. Only the knife and fork occasionally touched the plate. Only Papalar was eating loudly, and there was a mess, but everyone had already become accustomed to it and did not notice it.
What's wrong.
Without such scenes, they may still be a little unaccustomed to it.
On the tablecloth, next to the vase, is a bunch of dried dill, next to it is a message crystal.
A light curtain is projected on the crystal, which is repeatedly playing some recent anecdotes in the port. The north said which places are flooded and difficult to travel, and pedestrians are advised to take detours; where the reconstruction work is going very smoothly; and the priest of Mirela is spreading the news in the city.
God's gospel, and carry out 'humanitarian' relief work. As for the word humanitarian, it is also one of the fashionable words learned by the indigenous people.
Among these small news, there are also many local adventurers worth paying attention to, such as requests for help from residents. In Aitaria, people discovered that communication crystals can be used for such work very early, and the earliest people used them in this way.
It is the Adventurer's Guild of Kaolin-Ithurion.
What follows is a hymn recitation. The cheap crystal itself cannot produce sound, but a honeycomb-shaped wooden box that is similar to an old-fashioned radio. The soft and slow singing sound is slightly distorted after passing through the speaker, but it is the same.
It's enough to soothe people's hearts.
Tianlan was the first to finish eating, put down her knife and fork, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and then chattered about what happened in the past half month. When everyone reunited after a long separation, she naturally had endless topics to talk about, no matter it was this
What I have seen and heard along the way are some interesting things when I arrived at Yunzhuo Port. Of course, the focus is on people’s evaluation of Fang Plover.
She told these things one by one. She has a talent for telling stories, just like a poet's innate ability. Although everyone has experienced it, she still has a thrilling feeling when she listens to it from other people's mouths.
Feel.
Others listened very quietly, as if reliving everything at that time.
Sylvide's eyes reflected a light, and she looked at the little girl with a slight smile. From time to time she would put the peeled fruit in front of her, which made Tian Lan feel a little embarrassed and hastily thank her.
"Sister Sylvide, you are so kind."
The ship officer only smiled softly and gently ruffled her hair.
There was a warm light in her eyes. How long had it been since her father left that she had such a warm feeling?
The lady treated her fairly well, but also very harshly. She had no friends in the castle, and everyone was alienated from her, although she may have been used to being alone and quiet.
But people still need to comfort each other.
Fang Yu felt a little relieved when he saw this scene. In his heart, this was a team, just like in Dawn Star, except that the team was established by Miss Scarpet and Captain Quirod.
And this small team in front of him belongs to him.
It is small, but one day it will grow into a towering tree.
He listened to people talk about some of the things that happened recently, not just in Cloud Port, but also from all over the kingdom.
In the past half month, life has naturally not been easy for the Jefflite Red Team. The Silver Forest Spear and the Knights of Tapolis have not missed the opportunity to add insult to injury, and the local aborigines have also taught them a lesson.
The team's excuse for being clever may work within the league, but the aborigines who witnessed everything at the time were not blind.
This series of events, coupled with the previous "mercenary breach of trust" incident, has also caused the image of the Jefflite Red Team to plummet in the public eye. Even the original group of trolls on the Internet couldn't help but compete with each other for a while.
Lose your voice.
However, the bbk alliance, which was hidden even more deeply, only received a mild warning. People in the community only criticized the matter slightly, and most people generally believed that the bbk alliance was responsible for poor supervision.
The pursuit of the Blood Oath is still ongoing, but as time passes, the chance of arresting its core members becomes slimmer and slimmer. In addition, officials from various countries are silent on the matter, and people gradually forget about it.
Anyway, this small guild also paid the price for this, and it was originally insignificant in the alliance.
In addition, the final round of the Continental League is approaching, and it is gradually attracting everyone's attention. Although the points and appearance quotas have been roughly determined at this moment, people are speculating whether the Elpaxin Craftsmen Association will send the talented boy that day.
Or should he use the other party as a secret weapon and hide it until he goes to the Oshur Empire?
However, there are also rumors that the young man has gone to Charter City to help the coalition forces of Corin-Ithulian and the Chosen against powerful enemies. There is news about the army of Dragon Minions and Dragon Cults gathering in the north, and the war is approaching day by day.
It has long been spread in Talen.
There is another thing that people are concerned about, which is the sudden disappearance of Dolifen's illusion. It is said that one of the five strange events in Aitaria has finally been solved.
On the other hand, Fang Quan knew that the Stargate Port should be working intensively to investigate the chosen people who left the first world from the Black Holy City and find their whereabouts. He didn't know how long this process would take, but it probably wouldn't be
too long.
It's just that not a single bit of news from the Stargate Port was revealed, giving people a sense of calm before the storm.
The attention paid to him does not only come from the Stargate Port, because he has won a great reputation for the Chinese Division in the Kingdom of Kaolin-Ithurion, and the Super Sports League has also extended an "olive branch" to him.
Because although the Super Competitive Alliance has been cooperating with the Kingdom over the years, due to various differences, there is still a lot of friction between the selectors and the indigenous people. The emergence of such a heroic deed just caters to the current development of the Super Competitive Alliance.
The publicity has greatly shortened the distance between the electors and the indigenous people.
The last time such a scene occurred was during the Battle of Byrne, and the convergence of folk voices quickly heated up the relationship between the chosen people and the aborigines, and there were even hints of entering the honeymoon period.
A harmonious scene, in turn, has diluted some of the increasingly tense atmosphere in recent days.
Therefore, the Super Competitive Alliance sent an invitation to him, and several big guilds expressed their willingness to let him join. However, Fang Plover could not guarantee whether this 'olive branch' had a poisonous thorn. So they have not found 'him' yet.
What is even more surprising is that even the Corin-Ithurian royal family, which has always maintained a neutral attitude towards the Chosen Guild and individuals, has also issued an order this time to posthumously award the Chosen 'Hero' to Fenris Island.
The title of the nobles of the kingdom.
Although Fang Plover thinks the word posthumous is simply unlucky.
After this order, there was actually an attachment that was not eye-catching. When Princess Brianne took out the attachment, Tianlan read the text on it in a low voice, and then said with some surprise:
"Miss Sylvide, those people are looking for you too!"
Everyone was looking at Miss Ship Officer, and Fang Piao also looked at each other. Everyone knew who had given this order.
"It seems that someone noticed you and Sylvide at that time," Attila said, "I'm afraid that first edict also has a different meaning."
Princess Brianne nodded. She was the only one among the crowd who watched the 'live broadcast' at that time: "The situation at that time was very clear. Those people could easily find out that Sylvide was there. Fortunately, Ed's disappearance
', now it has become a kind of protection for you."
"But in that case, wouldn't Brother Ed have no noble title?" Tian Lan asked.
"All false reputations are as easy to weather as sand," the big cat man took off his pipe and said, "Perhaps it is not burdened by it, which is more praiseworthy for our captain. The true nobility comes from the soul."
Parker knocked on the table, disapproving of these remarks. The shiny gold coins came first, and this is especially true for being a Papalal person.
However, Fang Yu also heard the implication of Atila's words. The so-called noble title might be a trap. If he really believed it and accepted the title, he was afraid that he would soon fall into the trap of the prime minister.
"Brother Ed, will our next plan to go to Grande be unsafe?" Jita frowned at the attachment, then pushed up her thick round-rimmed glasses and asked.
Fang Plover was about to explain.
But it was Sylvide who spoke for him on the side. She replied softly: "Although the most dangerous place is not necessarily the safest, it can at least create a time difference. By the time those people react, we may have left that place long ago.
."
Fang Yu nodded: "Right now, we have a few things that we must do. One is to agree to deliver a message for Mr. Mazak, and the other is to go to the Adventurer's Guild in Grande.
Check to see if Dawn Star still exists and formally form our team."
"By the way, we also need to investigate Mr. Kidd's case to see if the second hire left any information at the Craftsmen's Association. Although the chance is slim, as long as there is a glimmer of possibility, we have to give it a try."
"The destinations of these things are all pointing to Grande or nearby areas, so no matter what, this trip is essential."
He looked at the others. In fact, there was another reason for going to Grande this time. That was that he, Parker, and Box all gained a lot of experience during the trial, and they urgently needed to spend this experience.
Although Yunzhi Port is prosperous, it is only a commercial transit port, and Grande is one of the two major capitals of the kingdom, where everything they need will be available.
Since the dragon minions he killed in the end were all dark creatures, the experience he gained during this mission was astonishing. Although he was not the one who settled the mission, Fang Yu estimated that his character level might increase by four times.
grade or above.
Even more than Dolifen.
There may be fewer boxes and Parkers, but there are at least two or three levels of improvement. The original level of the box is only level eight, which is a little lower than him. A three-level improvement is completely expected.
After thinking about it, Fang Yu couldn't help but cast his eyes to Attila aside. The latter had already learned from Sylvide about some of her brother's experiences after leaving the Hill of Giant Trees. She only nodded lightly: "Kidd.
It’s hard to change the outcome of the matter, but I do want to go to the Adventurer’s Guild to take a look. As for other aspects, Ed, as the captain, you can naturally make the decision with your words.”
"Okay, let me tell you my future plans."
Fang Yu then put his hand on the table, spread out a huge map, pointed at the map and said:
"Everyone is already aware of the matter of Miss Sylvide's father, and has unanimously agreed to intervene in it. So roughly calculating, the preparation time for the Corin-Ithurian royal family to form a new fleet should be about one and a half years.
Two years.”
"That is to say, two years at the latest and one and a half years at the earliest is the time we have. And within this year and a half or two years, our first task is naturally to try our best to improve our own strength. But this is only part of it.
One, and two, is to find a way to build our own aerostat, or to complete the design of the Seven Seas Traveler, because this is also a prerequisite for us to go to the second world."
"So after going to the Grand Adventurer's Guild, how our next adventure plan will unfold and how we plan the route must be considered from these two aspects."
"Before this, I had planned to use Mr. Gray Rock's platform as a training ground to accumulate relevant knowledge and experience. And I also discussed this matter with Miss Sylvide and Luo Yu. Our first
One plan is to install flotation air bags and platform protection on the platform to further enhance the platform’s load-bearing and survivability capabilities.”
"The production of airbags is too professional, but we can purchase the finished products directly from Grande, but we have to do the platform modification ourselves, so for the next adventure area, my opinion is that it is best to choose a place where the raw materials have a suitable transformation platform.
area."
At this time, Jita said in a low voice: "Then we can go to the south of Grande, heading west from Duron into the Cave Bottom Mountains. There is a leveling area there that is very suitable for us."
Fang Plover also thought of that place, where a large number of Egon sacred trees grow in the brown-red mountain forest. The wood of this tree is not the first choice for airships, but it is a very high-quality special wood.
It's lightweight and strong, perfect for transforming platforms, and it also produces high-quality Guy crystals, which are worth collecting.
"And the Long Lake area south of Vanrich."
Others also expressed their opinions.
However, Fang Yu remembered another thing: "Although it is a transformation platform now, one day we will need to build our own ships, but there must be a place for shipbuilding. Miss Silverd, you should have thought about this issue, right?"
Most of the shipyards in Kaolin-Ithurian are full of tasks, and if the royal family wants to reorganize a new ship fleet within two years, whether it is in areas such as Elpaxin, Grande or Rodel
, I’m afraid it’s very difficult for any shipyard to come out of the dock to take on private work.
Not to mention, what they are going to do is not yet visible.
Sylvide nodded: "I know a place that was once occupied by pirates, but was later abandoned for some reasons. However, there are still some places hidden in the winding fjords that can accommodate the construction of large ships.
In fact, some pirate ships were built there."
"Pirates? Where is that place, Sister Sylvide?" Tianlan couldn't help but asked curiously.
"A place called Lost Bay."
Fang Yu was slightly startled. He had heard of this place. It was originally a pirate lair. However, the environment in the bay changed, the fog lingered all year round, and the hydrological conditions were complex, which led to frequent shipwrecks. Soon the pirates
This place was abandoned.
There was actually a shipbuilding site where the pirates once hid. What surprised Fang Pliong was that Sylvide actually knew these details. Needless to say, this information should have been obtained from his father's sailors.
It seems that this great Corinthian-Ithurian explorer also had a rich life experience.
He quickly found the place on the map. He drew a line between Grande and Lost Bay with his finger, and found that this line was not too far from their other destination, the Cave Bottom Mountains.
, so I made a temporary decision in my mind.
At this time, Miss Elf also raised a question: "Although airbags can be purchased, daily sewing, repair, or even replacement requires a tailor apprentice."
"If we consider the long term," Sylvide also replied: "It is best for us to find a professional sailmaker. Of course, a tailor apprentice can also be qualified for sewing work, but the former is difficult to do the work of a professional sailmaker."
“The salary of a professional sailmaker is not cheap.”
Fang Plover scratched his head.
Like professional alchemists, professional craftsmen in every other life occupation category have high salaries, and aborigines generally do not like to join the team of Chosen Ones. If they are Chosen Craftsmen, it will be even more expensive.
.
And it’s not easy to find, because in life and career, who would be behind a guild or something?
But at this moment, everyone heard a soft voice.
"If Mr. Ed doesn't mind, maybe I can try to take up this position as well."
Everyone couldn't help but look in that direction.
Only then did he see the guest next to Princess Brianne, whose face was covered by the hood, raising his head, revealing a beautiful face that was familiar to everyone.
Because that is the sister of the twins, Alyssa.
She smiled softly at Fang Plover: "I have some tailoring skills, but I don't know if Mr. Ed would take me in again?"
