The light of the stove shines through the dark wooden walls and looms between the gaps in the wooden boards. The charcoal fire burns very quietly, and the firelight flickers, as if telling a story with a low tone. The white charcoal from the sea of Joya trees produces almost no smoke.
Large in quantity, cheap, it can be said that it has almost all the advantages that this small adventure group likes.
Sophie leaned against the window, her left and right hands folded and pressed on the window sill, looking at the scenery outside the corridor with interest. The dull firelight reflected on the glass, like a little starlight hanging in the distant sky.
And the sky gradually darkened, and the light in the already gray winter sky faded layer by layer, changing colors, transitioning from lead gray to a kind of yellowish black. Finally, it became completely dark, and only the cry of the winter wind was left, passing through.
The mountains and fields, along with the long northern border, bring about a long, harsh winter and a spring with no beginning in sight.
She heard low voices coming from inside the house.
Regarding the Xilin-Spica family, it is an ancient family of craftsmen in the South. It can be traced back to the founder of the Rose Workshop, Luo Lun. This person's experience is enough to write a palm-length legendary story. He
with goblins, his friendship with dragons, his experience of studying in Elpaxin, his love, and the pinnacle of his life, the establishment of the Rose Workshop.
The poet even adapted his story into a long narrative poem called "The Rose Dreams", which has been passed down by word of mouth and is still widely circulated in Korin-Ithurian.
After Laurent passed away, his descendants established the Xilin-Spica family behind him. Although this family is not as famous as the kingfisher, stag, and brown bear, the "tripod of the kingdom," it is still popular in the southern region, especially in the
Within the circle of alchemists, they are still considered a prominent family.
Especially the family that produced the Fairy Messengers and Fairy Constructs has always seemed so mysterious and extraordinary in the eyes of the world.
The little girl sat on the bed, put her hands on the sheets, and changed into pajamas. Her skin was as white and delicate as if soaked in milk. Her dark hair was spread out, and her golden eyes reflected the dark red light of the furnace. The wooden bed here
It's not as sturdy and beautiful as what you've seen at home or in a hotel, but it's still comfortable, at least in the wild. You can't find a better choice than this.
Sylvide held her little face and wiped her clean with a handkerchief dipped in cold water. After the stimulation of the cold water, the little girl's face returned to rosy. Only then did the ship officer lady straighten up and look at the sky outside.
, adjusted the light of the crystal lamp to make the light appear softer.
She put the handkerchief aside and asked softly amidst the howling wind outside the house: "Delice, didn't you go to Dark Eagle City?"
Delis's eyes turned red when she heard this: "The king took action against us. Rodya betrayed my father. Before we set off, he caught everyone." Tears welled up in her eyes and she spoke softly.
He said angrily: "My father asked me to escape. It was Wu Mian and the others who protected me all the way to this place. Sister Sylvide, I have no relatives anymore."
Sylvide gently wiped away her tears and said lovingly: "Don't worry, your father and the others should be fine."
"Really?"
Sylvide nodded slightly. "Everything will be fine."
"But I heard those rumors and I was very scared."
"Don't be afraid, let me figure it out, Delis."
The little girl looked at her with tears in her eyes, and her previous strength turned into attachment in front of her relatives.
Sylvide comforted the other person a few more words, asked her to lie down first, and talked with her for a while. After running away in the ice and snow for so long, the little girl's physical strength had already reached its limit. She asked a few vague questions about the big world.
His eyelids were twitching up and down because of the Cat Man thing, and he fell into a deep sleep after a while.
The noble lady looked at Delis' little face sleeping peacefully with tears on it, lowered her head and kissed her forehead, then covered her with a quilt, turned around and walked through the curtain. "Shesta, take care of Delis for me.
"She ordered.
The maid nodded gently and walked into the curtain.
Fang Yu looked at her from the side, as if he had seen a different ship officer. "Is she okay?" He went up to ask, only to find that Sylvester's face was a little pale. She raised her head and smiled.
After a moment: "Can you hold my hand, Captain?"
Fang Yu hesitated for a moment and stretched out his hand out of nowhere. No one in the room was speechless. The noble lady's hand was cold. She turned sideways and leaned on his shoulder. For a moment, Fang Yu felt a little thin.
Suddenly, he felt a little soft. The news of his father's disappearance might also be like a lingering nightmare in Miss Ship Officer's mind. He remembered his childhood again, and there was actually no difference between the two of them.
"Delice is my sister," Sylvide whispered: "My mother is related to his father by blood, and they are brothers and sisters from the same father. They had the closest relationship before they left Rose Manor."
"So I have a very good relationship with Delis..."
"Who is Rodya?"
"Delis's uncle, but that branch is far from my mother. The Silin-Spica family was divided into two branches before my grandfather. One branch has a red rose as its emblem.
, the guardian animal is a unicorn, one has a black rose as its emblem, and the guardian animal is an owl."
"Delice and I were both born into the Red Rose family. His father and my grandfather are both well-known alchemists. One of them is good at crystal structure, and the other has made great achievements in fairy structure. Because of this, they both
We have a deep relationship with the Alchemist Alliance of the Southern Territory. When Prince Coleman vigorously promoted magic technology in the Southern Territory, Delis's father was also one of the supporters of His Highness the Prince."
"The Black Rose family is rich in combat craftsmen, and Rodia himself is a famous fairy user. Unlike Delis's father, they are a staunch prime minister. However, betting on both ends is also a common practice for nobles.
Although this family was split into two a generation ago, it is not yet alienated by outsiders."
"When the situation became serious, I heard that Delise's family planned to go to Dark Eagle City for temporary refuge, but I didn't expect that something like this would happen."
Fang Yu felt a little distracted when he heard it.
The hands of the aristocratic lady were soft and delicate, and the faint fragrance came from her body and lingered on his nose. He felt his heartbeat speed up. Listening to the story told by Sylvester, he couldn't help but ask: "Can we
Can you help me?"
"This may be an opportunity." Sylvide seemed to have recovered and calmed down and said.
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment: "Opportunity?"
The ship officer lady turned around and smiled sweetly: "Captain, have you forgotten what I said?"
Fang Yu was stunned. There were so many things that Sylvester had said, how could he remember which one at once? Moreover, after having a capable assistant and the goblin lady, he found that he was getting lazier and lazier.
I often can't remember trivial things.
"I once told you about the unfinished fairy heart in the Rose Workshop. Captain, do you still remember it? As a member of the Silin-Spika family, I also have the right to inherit that thing."
It turned out that this was the matter. Fang Yu suddenly realized that Sylvide had indeed mentioned to him the unfinished fairy heart of the Silin-Spika family. It was still a matter in Elpaxin. However, the other party later revealed it in the Port of Clouds.
After his identity was revealed, he gradually forgot about this incident, but he didn't expect it to be true?
He subconsciously said: "I thought...?"
Sylvester's light blue eyes reflected the light of the fire, with a sly smile: "Captain, you think I'm lying to you?"
Fang Yu couldn't help but blush when he was told the central issue.
But she didn't care: "The Fairy Heart was made by my grandfather based on the design left by Lauren. Delise's father is also one of its authors. Because of my mother's relationship, I also inherited that piece.
The power of things.”
"But I am an outsider after all. It is almost impossible to take away that thing from Rose Workshop under normal circumstances. But Delis is different. When her father lost his freedom, she was the one who owned that thing.
The first successor."
"If Delis allows it, we can easily bring that thing out from the Rose Workshop. Although the Fairy Heart is an unfinished product, it is more than enough as a ship engine. And as Lauren's
Even the first sequence engine of Kingfisher Workshop's 'White Feathered Gryphon' series may not be able to match it."
"... Even if it is upgraded to a real Fairy Heart in the future, it will be much easier than an ordinary ship engine. At least there is an idea. And if we can bring out the design drawings, that would be great."
Fang Yu stared dumbfoundedly at the fact that his ship officer was conscientiously scheming against his sister. If Delis was still her sister in name, he couldn't help but ask: "But in this case, will Delis agree?"
"Then it depends on the captain." Sylvide looked at him with wonderful eyes and replied.
"Look at me?"
"If the Captain feels sorry for you, you can do the Red Rose family a favor after getting the Fairy Heart."
"Rescue her father?"
Sylvide did not answer, but her eyes clearly meant this.
Fang Yu knew that she was asking him for help in a tactful way, but he actually had no intention of evading it. Both the Seven Seas Traveler and the Fairy Heart came from the Xilin-Spica family.
He received gifts unintentionally, and naturally he had to pay in return. The relationship between Sylvester and them was actually a part of this causal relationship.
It is not difficult to rescue a person. Although Delise's father was in trouble because of the struggle for royal power, he was not actually an important figure. This matter sounded more like a struggle for power between families.
It may be troublesome to get involved in such a struggle, but the Free Chosen also have their own unique ways of solving problems.
The prerequisite is to get your own boat.
This brings us back to the beginning of this question.
"Where is the Fairy Heart?"
Seeing that he agreed, Sylvester's eyes couldn't help but soften. She smiled softly and replied: "The Fairy Heart should be stored in the Rose Workshop, but the captain wants to take it away. Unless Doris agrees,
In addition, some preparations need to be made.”
"What preparation?"
"Find a way to meet Delise's father."
"The most important thing for alchemists is actually not inheritance, but the continuation of technology. After several generations of hands, Lauren's drawings can only be reproduced to this extent. My grandfather and Delise's father were both among the fairies.
They put their heart and soul into it, and in theory, Delise will inherit their mantle in the future.”
"But Delis is still young. With the current situation of the Red Rose family, it is difficult to say that she will have the opportunity and resources to train her into an excellent alchemist in the future."
"But the captain is different. As a fairy knight and a craftsman, I can see that you are extraordinary, and Delis's father will not miss you. As long as you show enough potential, if you can win
With the permission of Delise's father, you will be regarded as the successor of the Rose Workshop for the next generation, so the Presbyterian Council should not be too embarrassed on this issue."
"The next generation inheritor of the Rose Workshop?" Fang Plover was startled by this sudden proposition. "Is it possible, I am an outsider?" No matter how enlightened the Xilin-Spika family is, they will not give up a workshop.
Human?
"Of course Captain, you can't do it alone," Sylvide smiled and said softly, "But with my identity, it will be fine."
"Miss Sylvide, add your identity?"
"Didn't I say that because of my mother, I also have the right to inherit the Fairy Heart, but I'm not as legitimate as Delis, but at least I'm not an outsider."
Fang Yu was stunned when he heard this: "But..."
Sylvide only smiled softly and whispered: "Then it depends on whether the captain is willing to take responsibility for me." She squinted her eyes and smiled like a fox lady.
…
Sophie was letting out a low exclamation.
"Ah, cat!"
When she saw the cat lady coming out of the darkness, she was so cute that her heart melted. But Ms. Delise looked at her warily and did not move closer. Tata touched the top of its head with her hand and said:
"Dalys, this is Miss Sophie."
Only then did Sophie see Tata, her eyes sparkling. This was the first time she had seen Fang Plover's dragon soul in person. The other party was actually riding on a majestic cat. Isn't this a bit incredible?
With Tata's comfort, the cat lady walked slowly to Her Royal Highness Princess Silver Vislan. Sophie was afraid of scaring it, so she only scratched its cheek gently with her hand. Delise made a meowing sound and squinted.
He closed one eye and seemed to be getting closer to the princess.
"Ms. Tata, good evening." Sophie knew that Miss Dragon Soul Fang was officially called, so she greeted her.
"Good evening, Sophie." Tata replied with a quiet look in her green eyes.
"Are you here to see Ed?"
Tata nodded.
"He's in there." Sophie couldn't help but feel a little funny when she thought of something.
Someone seemed to come in again from outside. She heard the sound of footsteps walking on the deck, and looked outside the patio again. The Orphen Twins were parked quietly in that place, their majestic metal armor covered with snow.
The wind howled in the darkness, and after dark, the valley was not stable.
She didn't know what Fang Yu meant by parking this thing in the yard. The flexible structure should be well maintained, but the other party replied that it needed to be debugged. As for the specific debugging, she was not a combat craftsman, so she had no way of understanding it.
.
"Do you want me to take you in?" Sophie asked again.
Tata shook her head. She and Fang Plover were connected spiritually. In fact, they didn't necessarily need to meet, they were just used to it. While the two were talking, the door suddenly opened, and Fang Plover pushed the door open alone.
Sophie turned around when she heard the sound and glanced at the latter with some fun, with an obviously funny look in her eyes: "Coming out?"
Fang Plover glanced at her evasively, his face getting redder.
"Isn't it a pity?"
"Miss Sophie, did you hear everything!?"
Fang Plover was startled.
He subconsciously recalled the scene in the house.
As Sylvide said, the actual controller of the Rose Workshop is the Presbyterian Church. The so-called successors of the next generation are actually just technical guides. Therefore, their status can be relatively loose, and they only need to have extraordinary potential in alchemy.
Then yes.
And if the noble lady is his fiancée, based on her blood relationship with the Silin-Spika family, as long as he gets the approval of Delis's father, he can legitimately become the next generation successor of the Rose Workshop.
Of course.
They just pretended to be a relationship between the two. The ship officer also told him with a smile that she wouldn't mind because of her father. But the problem is
Fang Yu's mouth was a little dry. He never expected that Sylvester would talk to him about such a matter in an understatement. He clearly had not reached the legal age for marriage stipulated by the Republic. It was wrong. This was not the problem.
He quickly shook his head and threw this messy thought out of his mind.
But the bright look in the light blue eyes of the noble daughter clearly told him that if he was unwilling to take responsibility, she would be very concerned about it and he would die in a very ugly way.
She was born in a noble family, and her father was a famous explorer. How could she not care about her reputation? If she used this status as a pretext, she would probably not be able to hold her head high in the Xilin-Spika family for the rest of her life.
What's more, even if Miss Ship Officer really doesn't care about other people's opinions.
But what about himself?
A shadow subconsciously appeared in his mind.
The so-called hazy love between a boy and a girl, he used to pursue that aloof figure wholeheartedly, but after seeing Yunzhi Gang, he realized that everything in the past was just his wishful thinking.
That shadow may have gone away, but it inevitably leaves something unchangeable.
"Miss Sylvide, this..." He opened his mouth at that time.
But the noble daughter looked at him with bright eyes and only smiled slightly.
Some questions may not require answers, just wait for time to verify everything. The cabin is as quiet as ever, like a silent poem.
Fang Yu was stunned for a long time, and it wasn't until Sophie waved her hand in front of him that he suddenly reacted. Looking at Sophie looking at him in a funny way, and Miss Tata who was quiet beside him, Fang Yu
His face turned red.
Her Royal Highness the Princess of Silver Veslan laughed: "It's a bit impolite to think about other girls unscrupulously in front of girls. Although your ship officer lady is so beautiful, I'm not too bad after all.
Mr. Ed, you are too hurtful."
She said with a smile.
Fang Yu knew she was joking, but he still couldn't help but touch his nose.
"It's just a matter of developing a relationship with the aborigines," Sophie said in a low voice, "It's true that there are no such relationships in history, but there are not many that have good results."
Fang Plover was startled for a moment.
Of course he wouldn't be unaware of this. Because of the synchronicity of the stars, love stories between earthlings and aborigines will most likely end in tragedy. The ruthless time will eventually cover up everything, making the two relationships so far apart that they will never see each other again.
But he shook his head, not wanting to think about this problem, and just asked: "Miss Sophie, I have something to ask you."
"What's up?"
Seeing his serious expression, Sophie also became serious and asked.
