Fang Plover watched the Papalars walk out of the shadows under the wind and snow, climb over a short fence with their short and fat bodies, cut through the snow and weeds in the yard, and then climb up with difficulty.
windowsill.
He stretched out his hand and asked, "Are they still there?"
"I don't think so anymore." Parker jumped down from the window sill, clapped his hands, and looked back at the house: "The house is empty, there is no one. Maybe they have left. Didn't you kill them in Elmau Castle?"
Was the messenger once? Maybe he informed others after he was resurrected."
Fang Plover looked through the window and also looked at the dilapidated house not far away. According to Parker and Tianlan, it was at the end of this street that they saw the members of the Dragon Fire Guild.
This is actually the back alley of the Adventurer's Guild. They rented a room in a nearby inn and were able to monitor the end of the street there. It was a dead end, and people coming in and out must pass through this direction.
However, they had been monitoring here for most of the day, and there were only a few people coming in and out of this dilapidated alley, and most of them were local aborigines, so there was nothing suspicious about it.
Fang Plover nodded slightly, and what Parker said was possible. After all, those people had already colluded with the Dragon Cult messenger when they were in Dolifen.
He was silent for a moment, thinking in his mind whether it was necessary for him to fight alone?
The people of the Dragon Fire Guild would definitely not have good intentions if they showed up in this place at the risk of being discovered, and the plan they mentioned was also disturbing; it was about the mastermind behind the disaster that happened in Dolifen thirty years ago.
, Theoretically, he should actively seek help from Stargate Port.
But his identity is a little embarrassing, and he can't be seen in the light, and posting on the community will inevitably alert others. An idea flashed in Fang Yu's mind, he can't do it, but maybe others can, and he already thought about it after a moment's thought.
A suitable candidate.
Fang Plover raised his head, took one last look in that direction, and said, "Let's go."
The other party has already left, so there is no point in them staying here.
Although Parker was a little reluctant, he had just come back from the ice and snow outside, and swore that he would not go back into this bad wind and snow again. The snow was enough to cover the waist of a Papalar man. According to Parker's very
An exaggeration.
But what made Parker very dissatisfied was that the other party ignored his wishes.
…
It's still daytime.
Su Changfeng remembered that the last time he fell asleep was twelve hours ago. At that time, he could still see the halo of stars at the edge of the earth. It was the same now, except that the halo had become smaller.
This means that Stargate Port has been traveling halfway in orbit. The different timing methods in orbit always give him a headache. This reminds him of when he was training in the base when he was young.
situation.
His daughter had just been born at that time, and he remembered that he was almost overjoyed when he learned the news from home and realized that he was a father.
In the blink of an eye, almost twenty years have passed. My wife's gentle smile at that moment is still deep in my memory. My daughter has gradually grown up, but I have already grown up and am no longer young.
Su Changfeng silently looked at the corona, which was almost unchanged from twenty years ago. He sighed for a moment, then turned over and got out of bed in the microgravity environment.
The living cabin was filled with dark red light. He first opened his personal terminal. There were a few irrelevant messages on it, but someone happened to be looking for him. He lightly swiped on the glass panel, which showed that Ambassador Liao was a little tired.
face.
"You woke up just in time. There are some things going on here. It's best to come to the conference room and lie down."
Su Changfeng looked at this man. The two of them actually graduated from the Stargate Port Base in the same batch and were responsible for different aspects of affairs. The latter was almost a workaholic. He sometimes wondered whether the other one needed to sleep.
"what happened?"
"The results from Stargate Port are out."
"Out?"
Su Changfeng patted his face, sobered up, and then remembered this incident. Among the several major events in Stargate Port in the past month, the incident that happened on Fenris Island before was at least
Can be ranked among the top three.
Not only them, after the video taken at that time was circulated through the community, several other competition regions also began to pay attention to this incident. The domestic super competitive league has made several proposals to Stargate Port to intervene in this matter.
However, they were all blocked by the military under various pretexts.
The most critical point is that the Stargate Port has not yet found out who the other party is. The boy seems to have disappeared, or has never existed. It is unknown where he came from or where he is now.
Over the past month, there has been no progress in the investigation work at Stargate Port.
"What's the result? Where's the little guy?"
"A good news and a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
"Don't do this," Su Changfeng saw his old classmate joking with him, and knew that the other classmate was in a good mood: "I am a soldier, and I am used to considering problems from the worst-case scenario, so let's listen first
Bad news."
Ambassador Liao then smiled softly: "The bad news is that all the people entering and leaving Stargate Port in the past month have been investigated, but the boy who was underground in Fenris at that time was not found."
"Let me guess," Su Changfeng immediately became energetic and asked keenly: "Is this the so-called good news?"
Ambassador Liao nodded.
No one has been found, and we are most certain that the other party is not in the Dead Zone underground in Fenris, and may still be in Aitaria. This is undoubtedly the best news.
Next, the military only needs to invest manpower and find the target in Aitaria.
But he frowned again and became a little serious: "Of course we can't rule out the worst possibility."
Su Changfeng was stunned and his expression darkened. As he said, he is a soldier and is used to considering problems from the worst-case scenario. He is also a senior official in Stargate Port, so he naturally understands what the 'worst-case scenario' is.
.
Although such a situation is rare, it has not never happened in history, and it has had a bad impact.
His old boss resigned from his post precisely for this reason.
Ambassador Liao shook his head and continued: "However, until there is no basis, this item is only a reserved option for the time being. At present, we still acquiesce that the other party will still stay in Aitalia."
Su Changfeng reacted, sat back on the bedside, and subconsciously went to get his pipe, but suddenly remembered where this place was, and took his hand back, tapping the edge of the bed with his fingers.
He raised his head and asked: "Do you want me to take charge of the job of finding someone?"
"The special reserve team has no more manpower available."
"What does it say above?"
"The order of appointment has been issued."
"Then I will naturally accept the order," Su Chang replied immediately. But he thought for a moment and asked casually: "Do you think that kid is still in Fenris?"
"It's hard to say," Ambassador Liao shook his head: "There have been quite a few ships leaving Yunzuo Port recently, and it's impossible for us to check them all. Theoretically, the other party should contact us directly."
The ambassador paused: "But special circumstances cannot be ruled out."
Su Changfeng was a little curious: "Is there such a low-key person? This is a great opportunity to become famous?"
"Any kind of person may be there," Ambassador Liao said calmly: "But the reason why I recommend you to take charge of this work is for another reason. Your precious daughter said that she once achieved a goal.
transaction, and this transaction has not yet been completed.”
Only then did Su Changfeng remember this incident. He was also at the scene at the time: "I happen to know about this incident. What's wrong? Does Sophie have any clues?"
Only then did Ambassador Liao look helpless.
"The problem is that your Sophie refuses to talk. We don't know whether it's because the other party refuses to contact her, or because she's hiding something from us." He thought for a moment, "Intelligence shows that she recently went to the south of the Grand Valley, bringing only
Together with the companion knight, although this is also one of Silver Veslan's tasks, I heard that she gave up the other task at hand and took the initiative to apply."
Su Changfeng couldn't help but have a headache when he thought of his careless daughter. Sometimes having a daughter who is too smart and too independent is not necessarily a good thing.
At least he, as a father, has never worried about it.
"She went to Du Lun?" Mo Ruofu, a close friend, knew that his daughter would not give up the mission easily. There must be another reason why the other party did this. The two families have always been close, and he, the elder,
The classmate obviously knew this very well, so he asked this question.
Ambassador Liao nodded.
"Is the mission of Silver Weislan because of that incident?" Su Changfeng asked again.
The other party still nodded.
Su Changfeng was silent for a moment, and finally raised his head.
"Okay," he sighed and replied, "I will take people there myself to have a look." But Su Changfeng glanced at his old classmate again, and suddenly changed the subject: "But to be honest,
When you asked me to go there, did you also have the idea of letting me check the situation in the south?"
Ambassador Liao let out a sigh of relief: "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
He continued: "They have always used commercialization as an excuse to go their own way, but this time the power has changed within the kingdom, the higher-ups are actually very dissatisfied. You know, our diplomatic principle is not to interfere in other countries' internal affairs, so naturally in Aitalia
It’s the same thing, and the alliance’s behavior has crossed the line this time.”
"It's just that considering the international impact, the higher-ups are more restrained..."
"So my mission is?"
"On the one hand, it is to see if your precious daughter is really going to contact the target, and if possible, protect the other party." Ambassador Liao thought for a moment: "On the other hand, after the riot in July...
The news was completely cut off. After the Du Lun School announced the closure of trade routes in September, the information could not come out or enter."
"The alliance is also hesitant and unable to give a clear explanation. Most of the selectors still don't know what happened in the south, but the news will eventually be suppressed."
"Charter City is also in dire straits. In fact, not only Stargate Port, but also the Craftsmen's Association has sent people to come to us for help."
Su Changfeng listened silently. As a senior member of Stargate Port, he naturally knew some inside information and knew some things that happened in the southern border a few months ago. He was silent for a while and then asked: "Where is our official identity?"
"Originally, the Artisans Association could arrange one for you, but since their relationship with the Dulon Alchemist Alliance is very tense now, we have to find a way ourselves. There is an opportunity here."
"You mean the mainland league?" Su Changfeng suddenly reacted.
Ambassador Liao nodded: "The points competition of the Mainland League has ended, and there will be an exhibition match in the south. It just so happens that there is also a quota in Stargate Port."
Su Changfeng frowned: "Then I can only be a nanny?"
"What nanny? Why are you speaking so rudely? I'm just asking you to recruit a group of newbies, and the higher-ups have decided to let people from the special reserve team assist you, and transfer Captain Zhang Tianmiao to this action team."
Su Changfeng was startled, then raised his head and asked cryptically: "He? That guy is no longer responsible for the work 'over there'?" He thought to himself, after all, the work 'over there' is what Stargate Port is doing. It is one of my children's top priorities. If I'm not careful, all of them will be dismissed from get out of class.
"There are no clues at the moment," Ambassador Liao replied, "This is also the opinion from above."
Su Changfeng nodded after hearing this.
"Okay, then wait until I come over to discuss the specific details," he finally asked: "But how do you plan to announce the underground matters in Fenris to the outside world?"
"Of course it is announced truthfully."
Su Changfeng was surprised: "True?"
Ambassador Liao nodded: "We haven't found anything, so let's tell them that we don't have any information yet."
Su Changfeng was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but give his old classmate a thumbs up. It was true that they didn't have any information, but those outside would definitely not believe it.
Since they don't believe it, just let them make random guesses.
By the time they guess the real answer, it is estimated that the actions on the Stargate Port side have almost come to fruition.
The two looked at each other and said nothing in a tacit understanding.
…
"Honestly...Honestly, I never thought you were still alive..."
"You know, when your boy came to you, he was only as old as Argyle; more than ten years later, the latter also became the leader of the Silver Wind Knights, and your boy is even more
His reputation has become prominent and he is already an earl."
The light through the blinds was slightly dim. The light passed through the dust in the room and fell on the desk, leaving bright textures of varying widths. The owner of the room grunted, pulled the rope with his hand, and adjusted the
Some light.
The light fell on their faces.
Sitting next to the dwarf was a middle-aged man with a deep profile, like a knife or an axe, with very thin lips, thick beard and eyebrows. Although his face was slightly pale, it did not reduce his majesty at all.
If Fang Plover were here, he would definitely recognize that the other party was the knight Dict whom he had met once in Dolifen. However, after the other party changed his clothes at this moment, he did not look like a saint from Malan.
A knight is more like a noble of the kingdom.
Moreover, when the dwarves called him, they also used the name Shide, which sounded very strange to Fang Plover.
As for the dwarf.
It seems that Fang Piao knows him well, and sometimes he might even gnash his teeth when mentioning the other person's name.
The dwarf was Arquette, a great craftsman from the Elpaxin Craftsmen's Association, but in Fang Plover's heart, this man was one of the culprits who completely ruined the dwarf's honest and loyal image.
Of course, the latter does not have this consciousness.
Faced with the dwarf's chattering, the knight showed no reaction at all, as if he had been accustomed to the other's behavior. In fact, this was actually the case. Before he went to the ruins of Dolifen and disappeared, the two had been friends for decades.
Originally, as a human being, he should have turned gray-haired at this age, but only because of some chance coincidences, he could appear in front of the old dwarf with almost the same appearance as he did thirty years ago.
"You really haven't aged at all." The old dwarf couldn't help but sigh: "There were rumors like this twenty years ago. Until you disappeared, what exactly did you encounter in Dolifen thirty years ago?
?”
The knight shook his head, his expression relaxed, and he smiled: "You know, I promised others not to disclose the specific situation that happened at that time. Maybe one day, someone else will tell you the answer to the mystery of what happened.
."
"You're always like this," Arquette was very dissatisfied, but remembering what he was going to do, he had to put aside his dissatisfaction. He looked at the latter: "Are you really sure that is that kid, and he will listen to me?
"
"With your current attitude, Arquette," the knight said with a smile, "I bet he will ignore you. My little friend is a very independent person."
"I don't think so. He's just a stupid boy." Arquette shook his head.
"Arquette."
"Okay, okay," the dwarf sighed, put down his quill, folded the letter paper on the desk with his stubby fingers, put it into an envelope, folded it and pressed a wax seal: "I am an old man, he doesn't
Should you show me some respect?"
"But as far as I know, you cheated him a lot," the knight replied, "and now you still have something to ask for from him."
"What do you mean I'm asking for something from him!?" The dwarf suddenly jumped up from his chair, blowing his beard and glaring: "I'm just helping him. Are there any young people who don't yearn for honor and fame?"
"That's not necessarily true," the knight smiled: "Arquette, if you have this attitude, don't expect me to send you a message."
The look on the dwarf's face couldn't help but be very exciting for a while. It was dissatisfied and reluctant, but also very unwilling, but it finally softened. After the coordination of the Craftsmen's Association, the ancient pagoda finally agreed with their statement, but if
If you can't find the person at that time, it's all over.
But the other party has long since disappeared, and the Continental League is about to be held. Where can he find such a person?
If it weren't for the sudden visit of an old friend who claimed to have seen the young man, he would have to face the chairman's thunderous wrath in a trembling manner.
"Okay," the old dwarf finally decided to compromise: "The things in this letter, even if it is a gift from me, it all depends on the inspiration he provided. I was able to complete this work and give it to him."
…There’s nothing bad about it…”
The knight could completely hear his old friend's reluctance and couldn't help but smile.
Arquette glared at him angrily: "You must help me deliver it before then, otherwise I will be completely ruined."
"Don't worry, Roger Tower won't do anything to you."
"damn it!"
The knight then put away the letter and gently pressed the pocket of his coat with his hand, feeling the heavy weight of a piece of metal there.
The light passed through the window and fell between his eyes. In fact, had he not discovered this thing on the armor, no matter how anxious his old dwarf friend was, he would not have left easily.
After all, compared to that matter, the mainland league is actually nothing.
