On November 6, the weather was fine and the wind was northwest.
After several days of preparation, everyone finally boarded the Berio and left Fenris. As the ship passed through the open sea, through the clouds, everyone saw a newly formed great rift valley from east to west, which ran across the bay.
It was that disaster that left the most striking scar on the island.
Perhaps a long time later, people will remember this terrible disaster.
…
On November 10, the weather was sunny and the wind was northerly.
Four days after leaving Fenris, the Berio arrived at the sea off Kaulin. The sailors also observed some inland seabirds. That ancient continent may not be too far away from us.
This voyage was far calmer than the last one. After the big storm passed, the sea of clouds returned to tranquility and peace in the last days of autumn. As for the pirates the sailors talked about, they never appeared, as if they were just a distant place.
nouns in the story.
However, life at sea is not boring, every day is full of strange and magnificent scenery.
…
After writing the last word, Fang Plover put down his quill and gently closed the diary.
He raised his head and stared motionlessly at a beam of sunlight that passed through the grating of the window and fell on the shaking deck. The desk and the iron cage lamp on the ceiling also shook with the deck, creaking and slowly.
Rhythmic.
However, he has gradually become accustomed to this rhythm and the unique and intoxicating smell of ether in the sea breeze. Since leaving Fenris, Fang Plover began to learn to write a sailing diary, which did not take up much time, but was full of excitement.
pleasure.
He rested for a while, then opened the drawer, took out a golden ring from among a few books and a pile of coins, raised it, and looked at it carefully.
The ring was cold to the touch and heavy in weight, as if it were made of coarse gold. There were some unevenly distributed textures on the surface. It was refracting sunlight and shining brightly in the dark environment.
But it used to be much brighter than it does now.
When Fang Plover first saw this ring in Dolifen, it was like a golden flame flowing in the lava. It was like a luminous gem, emitting blazing brilliance all the time.
The second time it appeared underground in the Black Holy City, it was like a newborn sun, with continuous light and heat bursting out from it, dispelling all darkness and fog.
But not like this.
However, in his system, the description on the phantom of the ring remained unchanged:
‘Powerful power is contained in it’
In fact, there is no need to describe it. Fang Yu also understood in his heart that this ring contained powerful power. It absorbed all the power of the Shadow of Nicol Bolas in Dolifen, and this time it swallowed up a clone of Toragothos.
.
What's even more outrageous is that it even absorbed part of Salutaka's power. However, as a god, after the latter's power entered the ring, the ring changed completely.
It no longer regained its previous brilliance, and seemed to have fallen into silence, becoming the ordinary appearance it is now.
The three powerful forces have not reacted at all since they entered the ring. This thing seems to be a bottomless pit, or it may lead to a subspace inside. The only change it has is that perhaps it makes Fang Yu feel a faint connection between it and himself.
There was a connection between them.
These days, this is not the first time that he has looked at this ring so carefully.
But similarly, when he picked up the ring, he felt that strange feeling again in the silent space.
The feeling was somewhat indescribable, as if a thought was appearing in his mind, but it was not his own thought, but rather a strange wish that wanted to communicate with him on a thinking level.
But this thought is not stable. It will only appear for a moment when he calms down and is slightly lost in thought. But as soon as he comes back to his senses, it will immediately disappear and disappear without a trace.
He once thought that he was delusional.
But not long ago, Miss Goblin dispelled his judgment. She told him that a new 'mark' had indeed appeared in his spiritual world.
"A new 'mark'?"
"Or in more popular terms, a contract." Tata replied at that time.
"contract?"
"It's like a contract between Mr. Knight and me."
Then Fang Yu felt something was wrong.
His contract with Miss Tata was naturally a dragon soul contract, and a new similar contract appeared in his spiritual world, which meant that a new dragon soul was born and he knew its origins clearly.
In other words, it is likely to be a dark dragon soul.
But he has never heard of such a thing. Will the Dark Dragon also leave a dragon soul? How can one person have a connection with two dragon souls?
But for this problem.
The goblin lady could only calmly look into his big eyes.
Because no one has ever signed a contract with two dragon souls in history.
And no one has ever used the Eyes of Venus to cast such a ring, and no one has ever used the Ring of Golden Flame to absorb part of the power of two dark dragons and a dark god, so naturally no one can tell them.
This ring, what exactly happened inside it.
More importantly, it is unclear whether this change is good or bad.
As each day passed, he did feel more and more clearly the growth of the gestating dragon soul. There seemed to be a barrier between it and his spiritual world, and it was constantly tapping that barrier.
The tapping sensation is getting stronger and stronger
"How are you today, Mr. Knight?" Tata closed a big book, raised his head from behind, and asked.
Fang Yu looked at his Miss Dragon Soul and shook his head gently.
"I can't figure out whether the situation is good or bad. I can't feel its purpose. It seems to be just tapping into my inner world and sending out unconscious signals." Fang Yu thought of a way to describe it in his mind.
It felt like a young dragon tapping its own egg shell unconsciously with its claws before it emerged from its shell, trying to open a gap and peek out of its first curious gaze.
In other words, it is like the unconscious fetal movements of larvae.
Although the latter statement always made him feel a little weird, so he didn't say it out loud, but Tata had already received his thoughts and only glanced at her, not feeling anything wrong. On the contrary, she also agreed with this description and felt that
Very accurate.
Tata said another thing calmly: "As a result, I can't stay in your spiritual world for the time being, Mr. Knight."
Fang Yu looked at the goblin lady on the table with some surprise: "But will it be too much to remain invisible in the outside world?"
Tata replied: "The wind of ether always rises and falls, and in a sense, it is true."
Fang Yu thought for a moment and replied: "Then I have to introduce Miss Tata to everyone." He then asked for the other party's opinion: "Is there no problem?"
Tata only nodded slightly: "Please, Mr. Knight."
Fang Yu looked at her expression and couldn't help but said: "Dragon souls in the form of fairies are not common, and there are also some fairies traveling with humans, which is really nothing. In addition, I am a selector, some deluxe version of the system
, in fact, he also guides fairies, and his image is similar to yours."
Tata looked at him and replied softly: "I'm not worried about this, Mr. Knight."
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, and the other person's thoughts flashed through his mind. In that picture was a large sky blue, touching Miss Goblin's face.
His expression suddenly became a little weird. It turned out that this was what the other party had been worried about? Tata lowered her head, with a slight redness on her face. In fact, there were not many emotional fluctuations in her heart, but for some reason, this thought alone made her
She felt a little embarrassed.
Fang Yu coughed and then replied in a low voice: "I will ask Tianlan to stay away from you."
Tata nodded slightly and placed his hands on his knees together a little awkwardly.
After a while, Fang Yu put away the Ring of Golden Flame again, but this time he did not put it back in the drawer. Instead, he wrapped it in a piece of parchment and put it close to him. He took out a copy of "Kaolin-E" from the bookshelf.
"Thulien's Geography", after turning over a few pages, the cabin became quiet, but after reading a few pages, he still couldn't calm down.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before people's shouts came from the deck.
After a moment, there was a sound of footsteps running down the stairs, and Tian Lan was heard knocking on the door loudly outside, shouting: "Brother Ed, we are here!"
Fang Yu then put down his book, came to his senses, and realized where they were.
Kaolin Continent.
The lookout must have discovered traces of the continent's edge.
He rolled over from the hammock, but there were many people on the boat, so Fang Plover did not intend to expose Miss Goblin at this time. He only discussed it with the latter, and Tata disappeared and went out with him.
When he opened the door, he saw Tian Lan, Ji Ta and Xiang Xiang crowded outside. However, the latter had a reluctant look on his face. You didn't need to think twice to know that he was dragged over by some little girl who was making noises.
He is similar in age to Tian Lan, Jita and Luo Yu, and they got to know each other very quickly.
"Brother Ed." Jita still looked soft and weak, and said hello to him politely with a blushing face.
Fang Plover also nodded to the latter.
Tianlan, on the other hand, didn't care about being polite and just chirped immediately: "The sailors have seen the edge of the land. That is the entrance to the Aignacon Gorge. Brother Ed, do you know where that is?"
Fang Plover nodded.
Of course he knew that it was the northernmost edge of the main continent of Kaolin.
Different from the Sea of Ancient Trees, the main continent of Kaolin is the first landmass of the Cloud Sea continental group. It is also the hometown and mother continent of the Kaolin people. If the continental edge islands are not counted, the Kaolin continent has approximately 10 million square meters.
Kilometers of land area.
It starts from Cape San Juan in the east and reaches the Istanian Sand Sea in the west. An isolated mountain range in the middle connects it to the Ithurian subcontinent in the east. It is a stretch from the Cave Mountains to the Rock Pillar Mountains.
A series of branches that together form the ridge of the continent.
The dwarves gave it the name Eldron.
Looking southward from the desperate solitary peak where the Zhusheng Hall is located, the glacier melted into a long river, falling vertically from an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, rolling through the forest, and pouring into the swampy lowlands of Nulinnari.
Further east, the headland protrudes from the edge of the continent, forming Cape Saint-Hughan, which plunges straight into the sea of clouds. It is also the Long Staff Bay of the Kingdom. It is an area that is very different from the main continent, where the legendary female pirate is still circulated to this day.
ancient legend.
Turning back to the west of the ridge of the continent, there is a land of green blessings. The west wind permeates the star sea, the climate is mild, and the rivers meander to form a plain, which is dotted with prosperous cultures.
In the long-term trade and war, the ancient city-states merged into one to form a traditional country with a blue and white coat of arms, decorated with stars and the national emblem of the sea forest crown. Today, people are already familiar with its name:
Corinthian-Ithurian Alliance.
The capital of the kingdom, the Crown of Morning Light, 'Grand', is located in the north of this ancient continent. The rapid water at the mouth of the Baita River separates the continent and forms a long fjord.
Before the Kaolin people left the land, they gave this empty bay the name Aigner.
Fang Plover walked onto the deck amid Tianlan's chattering introduction, and saw exactly this picture. In front of the Berio, the towering strait was opening its arms little by little, and the gray-white rock mountains formed two cliffs that were slowly unfolding.
, which is dotted with dense forests.
There is a lighthouse in the forest, which is using the light to guide the Berio to slow down. Not far away, Luo Yu and the big cat man are lying on the side of the ship looking at the gryphon knights flying below. They are using exam questions mixed with strong local accents.
Lin Yu loudly directed the airship to turn in one direction.
The mirror-flat sky and sea were dotted with airships of all sizes, like colorful colors, suspended in the mid-air.
However, the captain of the Berio was obviously a veteran with rich experience. He had parked the airship on the predetermined channel without waiting for the other party to approach. The griffon knights made a passable gesture, and then raised their voices.
Fly high and far away.
Luo Yu turned around and saw them flying towards another boat waiting not far behind.
"How long do we have to wait?" he asked.
It was obvious that this was not the first time for the big cat man to come here. He gestured with his claws: "Wait until the guide boat comes out to guide us."
In the direction he pointed, several small boats were zigzagging out of the bay, raising flags in the distance and rowing in this direction. The huge Berio was slowing down with a long whistle.
, when the guide boat approached, it slowly entered the bay along the canyon.
Fang Plover saw that the terrain on both sides of the bank gradually became gentle, and the gray-white rocks were replaced by dark green forests. The bay bifurcated in front, and the two rivers formed a waterfall on the edge of the land, with a white stream hanging down into the sea of clouds.
On the isolated island in the middle of the river, deep in the green forest, there are high gray walls and spires with shining red tiles.
Although he had never been to the capital of this kingdom, he recognized it at a glance as the Crown of Morning Light, 'Grand'.
This kingdom's capital is almost a vertical city like El Paxin, and has a vast momentum. Sporadic urban areas, city walls, and bridges are divided into several pieces by rivers and are widely distributed on the land on both sides of the bay.
At a glance, the edges are almost invisible.
However, the first thing everyone sees when arriving here is always a long bridge extending out from the center of the densely forested river island. The 140-hole straight bridge is almost perpendicular to the forked stream behind the waterfall.
, like a thin white line.
At the end of that thin line is the King's Square, the shining pearl above the Grand Crown.
It is the most famous square in the entire kingdom.
Because the white stone monument there still contains the oath shared by the elves of Avenquin, the dwarves of the Forge Hall, and the Kaolin people. This oath is the reason why the Kaolin-Ithurian Alliance exists today.
Foundation.
Fang Yu walked to the side of the big cat man and Luo Yu, looked around and found that there was no sign of anyone else.
He couldn't help but ask: "Where are the others?"
Hearing this, the big cat man turned around, letting the wind on the bay blow his mane, and raised a paw to shake him: "Don't ask, little guy, you will know later."
"Later?"
Fang Yu looked at the two of them suspiciously.
Luo Yu answered very honestly: "Actually, it's Miss Atila and the others who are helping Parker to disguise himself."
Only then did Fang Yu realize that he, Parker, Sylvester and Xiang Xiang had all been on the 'live broadcast' together, so they all needed to change their identities before going ashore. Among them, he and Xiang Xiang were fine, because at that time
Both of them were wearing masks, so they only had to roughly change their outfits.
Sylvide is a little more troublesome. After all, she is still the target of the prime minister's party. However, this is not the first time Miss Ship Officer has come to Grande. She was able to hide from the prime minister's party before and not be discovered. This time she must be the same.
Have your own way.
She didn't take the initiative to bring it up, which meant that he, the 'captain', didn't need to worry about it.
The most troublesome thing is Parker
Because Papalars are so rare in the northern continent, they are a noticeable target wherever they go. No matter how they disguise themselves or wear masks, it has no meaning. This guy is like a label, which always makes people
People can't help but have some associations with people's identities.
It's not that Fang Piao hasn't considered this problem, but Princess Brianne told him not to worry, she has a way.
But what the method is, the elf princess has never revealed.
He couldn't help but become curious: "What are they going to do, and do they need so many people to help pretend?"
"Princess Brianne said that she was not very familiar with the style of the Papalar people, so she asked Miss Attila to help." Luo Yu replied: "Miss Sylvide is also there, acting as the princess's assistant."
Assistant, but I don’t know what the ladies are doing.”
"style?"
Fang Yu was about to ask something, but suddenly, he opened his mouth wide.
Because he clearly saw a round-faced, somewhat cute Papalar girl walking up from below the cabin. She looked at Fang Plover and the others strangely with her dark eyes, and spread her hands curiously.
Asked:
"What are you looking at me doing?"
"Wait, is my disguise okay?"
The big cat man then patted the petrified Fang Plover from behind: "Princess Brianne told us that she has a transgender belt."
"In fact, this kind of magic prop has been very rare and valuable since the days of Numelin, but Her Royal Highness the Princess was very generous and gave it to us."
