"If you pass through the canyon, you will reach Idos."
The raindrops hit the cloth tent, and the rain passed through the light of the torch, causing the firelight to flicker and shine on a flat map. A line drawn with charcoal, thick and black, zigzagged through
Passing through the Panier area, we stopped heavily at a point where charcoal powder bloomed and shone in the light of torches.
That point was marked with 'Idos', a small line of text in the sinuous artistic form of Corin-Ithurion.
Seeing this line of small words, Fang Plover's eyes seemed to have passed through the back of the parchment and saw the ruins of the ancient city standing on the bank of the gray-red cliff.
Red put down the charcoal, patted the dust on his paws, and said: "The Dragon Fire Guild has made such a big fuss here, they may have a stronghold near Idos. Considering the news coming from Elfendor
According to the news, blood shark pirates are also gathering in the nearby area, maybe there is some connection between them."
"Didn't Elfendor send men to Idos?"
"It's just an early reconnaissance team. We left Vanlike early, and we don't know if the other party brought back any useful information."
"Lynn didn't mention that?"
"No, the Elfendor Council still can't trust him. At present, the most reliable way for us to communicate with the Council is to rely on the more primitive carrier pigeons, but although they are a little behind, at least they are all made by my teacher."
After Alyssa and the big cat man asked and answered questions, Fang Plover turned around and answered the question.
"I should have known that Xiaoxiao and I should have followed my brother's arrangement and stayed in Vanlike to give everyone another way to keep in touch." Tang Xin regretted a little. Fang Pulong glanced at her in surprise. Today's cousin
It's incredibly gentle.
Ai Xiaoxiao carefully kicked Tang Xin's toes, indicating that she didn't want it. It would be so fun to stay in this team.
As a result, the latter glared at her.
"Little Fatty Luo," Alyssa asked Luo Hao with a smile, "Doesn't your military have a communication channel?"
"Us?" Luo Hao shook his head: "The military and the Elfendor Council are not familiar with each other. Besides, after we left Vanric, the military should have withdrawn its manpower. After the Super Sports League is suspended, the military cannot intervene alone.
Southern Affairs."
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Our current communication with Elfendor is relatively smooth. The key is that Elfendor itself did not send many people there. The first batch of people who went there did not find Nicol Pola.
His whereabouts were known and he left not long after."
"The current team of people is the extra manpower sent by Elfendu after he knew that we were going to Idos. Moreover, the other party may not have arrived at Idos before us, and maybe they are still on the way.
." Fang Plover replied.
"But you have to be careful." Big Cat Man mentioned.
"Indeed." Fang Plover nodded, agreeing with this.
Jita was also a little worried, and briefly mentioned: "We have caused a big loss to the Dragon Fire Guild here, and they will definitely not let it go. If they are really operating in the Idos area, and are more familiar with that place than us.
if……"
When she thought of something, she suddenly stopped, looked at Fang Plover a little uneasily, and said softly: "I'm sorry, captain, I'm not saying you shouldn't do that."
Fang Yu understood what she meant and just smiled: "It doesn't matter."
Their behavior will definitely enmity with the Dragon Fire Guild, but considering the current situation of the Dragon Fire Guild, wouldn't the other party take the initiative to attack them if they don't enmity with the other party? I'm afraid the answer is no, let's not talk about it for now.
The Dragon Fire Guild has a bad record in El Paxin. How did the group of 'Big Sister Tou' and Aitila, Tianlan and the others become enemies? Fang Pliance has not forgotten that it was not Tianlan and the others who took the initiative to provoke each other.
Moreover, the Dragon Fire Guild is now jointly wanted by Stargate Port and Corin-Ithulian. It can be regarded as the most vicious group of people in the kingdom at the moment. For their own safety, they will show even more violence than before.
Aggression.
In this case, it actually makes no difference whether to become enemies or not, but taking action can actually lead to greater gains. Fang Yu will make such a judgment without hesitation. Besides, it is not that he has not considered this aspect, but he has come to the conclusion that the performance is good.
Being more utilitarian will dispel the opponent's other suspicions and make the opponent only the 'Dragon Fire Guild' for the time being, not the 'Dragon Worship Cult'.
The difference between these is quite big.
Jita looked at the captain and smiled at herself, and then felt a little relieved.
She closed her mouth, thinking that she would not be so reckless in the future. Miss Naturalist's small hand grasped the huge lower edge of her magic book, her fingertips were slightly white, and she thought about herself and the gentle and wise ship officer.
When compared with the lady, it turns out that they are still far apart.
Alyssa fiddled with the acorns she picked up on the table. This was a 'thank you gift' sent by the mysterious guest on the ship. It was probably to thank Fang Plover for building her a small house. The acorn was picked up by Miss Delise.
After coming back, it didn't take long for him to become Nini's toy.
Nini put her hands on the acorns and was making hesitant sounds while playing the acorn-pushing game with Alyssa.
Alyssa could defeat her with only one finger. But Miss Nightingale held her snow cheek in one hand and watched this scene with great interest. She didn't really exert any effort, she was just teasing the latter.
Ai Xiaoxiao hugged Delise and watched this scene with great envy. Unfortunately, Nini didn't like to get close to her because she always liked to play with her like a doll. For the same reason, Nini also stayed away from Tianlan.
"Did you tell the military about the appearance of the Dragon Fire Guild nearby?" Alyssa let go of her hand, making Nini cheer. She smiled and listened to the conversation between the big cat and Fang Plover.
, and then he asked.
Fang Plover nodded.
When he was cleaning the battlefield in the afternoon, he notified Her Royal Highness the Silver Veslan Princess and Su Changfeng. The former even laughed at him for not going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing and not contacting her for a long time, which made him very embarrassed.
Fortunately, Sophie was very generous and let the question go, and only asked about her father. Only then did Fang Yu remember her commission about him, and he hesitated for a while, not knowing how to answer.
When Sophie saw his appearance, she couldn't help but smile and said: "It seems that he really asked."
Fang Yu was surprised: "How do you know?"
"It's written all over your face, you are such a fool."
"Is it that obvious...?"
Sophie showed a shrewd look: "I guess you were just like now, hesitating and refusing to answer, right?"
When Fang Yu thought of this incident, he couldn't help but get angry. He said angrily: "How can I have the nerve to say this kind of nonsense..."
Her Royal Highness the Princess of Silver Vislan was not annoyed at all, but smiled and said: "But Qian and I are so pitiful, why don't you not help us? Besides, it's not my father who is too old-fashioned, we are also victims."
"That's what I say, but what does this have to do with me?"
"But aren't you a friend of Akane and I?"
Fang Yu thought about it, so he replied: "But I have to talk to Sylvide about this."
"As you wish," Sophie rolled her eyes: "Your ship officer lady has found a treasure."
Fang Yu didn't hear the irony of this statement at all, and only asked: "Then again, are you and Qian really...?"
Sophie nodded seriously.
Fang Yu was a little surprised, but also somewhat expected. He couldn't help but ask: "Then if your fans knew about this, wouldn't they be heartbroken?"
"They don't know how," Sophie sneered at this, knowing in her heart what happened to the fans that the guild cultivated for her: "They are just afraid that they will be so excited that they can't sleep for three days and three nights, otherwise you think the top management of the club will be dissatisfied with this."
Are you going to let this go?"
Fang Yu felt his forehead sparkle and wiped his sweat: "Is Silver Veslan so dark?"
"What's this?" Sophie looked like a gossip and lowered her voice: "Silver Vislan has already settled it. The God Killer broke up Sister Ming and our president. Of course, it's not entirely true.
It's just like the rumors outside, the two of them also have their own reasons..."
Fang Yu didn't expect that he had overheard a shocking piece of gossip, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true. Star players trained by major guilds rarely considered personal matters before retiring.
As for negotiating with the military, it is naturally far less bloody.
Su Changfeng did not mention his daughter again, but instead asked about Luo Hao's current situation. As for the Dragon Fire Guild's activities in the Yidus area, the military actually received some information from other sources, not just from Qihai.
The brigade got the news here.
Su Changfeng also told him that the military was unlikely to take direct action. On the one hand, whether the Dragon Fire Guild's stronghold was in Idos was still just speculation. And even if the military sent an aerospace ship, it would not be possible.
It may force the Dragon Fire Guild to show its presence, but it will only alert others.
The second aspect is naturally the same reason. The military cannot get too involved in southern affairs. It is one thing to crack down on cults, but it is another thing to investigate the infiltration of cults. Naturally, the indigenous forces closest to Idos
It is still the Southern Alliance, so the military has already informed the parliament of this information and is waiting for further verification.
However, now that Fang Plover has discovered something, Su Changfeng also suggested that he continue to search along this clue. If the exact location of the Dragon Fire Guild is found, the military can send the nearest aerospace ship to support them at any time.
Fang Plover didn't have any objections. The military gave the Seven Seas Brigade so many benefits just for the convenience of their status, and they went to investigate the affairs between the cultists and the Dragon Fire Guild in private. If nothing else happened,
If the other party comes to solve the problem, what else do they need to do?
He naturally understood the meaning, so he nodded directly.
His thoughts returned to reality, and a lightning flashed through the night in the distance, reflecting the sky and earth in the canyon into a vast expanse of snow. The pouring rain between the sky and the earth formed straight lines under the electric light. Fang Plover looked at the water line.
It slid down the eaves and splashed water all over the ground.
The water flowed downwards along the deck, passing through Miss Attila's garden not far away. From the grooves there, small vortices formed, flowing into the drainage pipes below, and finally from the side of the platform,
Once again merged into this rain curtain.
This is the first thunderstorm since the beginning of summer in the south of Kaolin. The rain comes after nightfall, as if it wants to wash away the last trace of blood smell in the canyon, bringing the blood that has seeped into the soil into the surging streams, erasing the
The last vestiges of a great battle.
The rain started out as just a drizzle, but gradually it became a torrential downpour. Fang Plover couldn't help but think of the Chang Lake to the east. The fish-man plague had just subsided, and he was afraid that it would flood again. This year's southern border was really troubled by disasters.
mean.
Then another bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, accompanied by rumbles of thunder.
Tian Lan’s shouting voice came from outside:
"Ah, it's raining heavily outside!"
The blond girl rushed in from the outside with her head in her hands, out of breath and patted her chest, looking like she was still frightened.
She was followed by Parker, Luo Yu, and Box. Finally, Sylvide and Siesta, the noble daughter, looked calm and unhurried as always. Their bright eyes first found Fang Plover among the crowd, and smiled slightly behind her.
The maid put away her silk umbrella and then turned around and closed the door.
Tianlan walked up and slapped a dusty crystal on the table with a 'pop' sound, and said proudly: "Brother Ed, guess what this is?"
Fang Yu didn't want to be fooled by her. He knew that this was something they got from the body of the Silver Mane Spider Queen. He just looked at the ship officer on the side and asked: "Has it been identified?"
Sylvide nodded, looked back at the elf lady who was sitting quietly on her shoulder, and said with a smile: "Thanks to Miss Tata's knowledge, this is the spider silk gem."
"Spider silk gem?" Fang Plover's eyes lit up.
Unlike the female spider of the ordinary Panier spider, the silk behind the silver mane spider is a kind of supernatural ability, which naturally relies on this small, palm-sized gem. This gem is
With the Spider Silk Gem, you can create a magic workbench that can continuously produce silver-maned spider silk.
Moreover, the silk behind the Silver Mane Spider is far tougher and more durable than the silk of the ordinary Panier female spider, and has a better affinity for the wind element. Even though this time they gained a lot from the battle with the Dragon Fire Guild, it is not as good as this one.
A 'tiny' gem, even slightly inferior to the former.
Not every spider group has a spider queen, and not every spider queen can find a 'spider silk gem' on her body. Because the 'spider silk gem' is actually the magic crystallization product of the Silver Mane Spider Queen. When the Silver Mane Spider Queen
The moment the Spider Queen dies, as the etheric magic power dissipates, the 'Spider Silk Gem' may disappear as well.
The moment he saw this gem, Fang Plover could conclude in his heart that there was at least half the possibility that the Dragon Fire Guild's large-scale operation was for this 'Spider Silk Gem'. And they may not have been hunting before.
Just because the 'Spider Silk Gem' is so rare
He didn't know whether to say that the other party's luck was too good or too bad. They actually let the Dragon Fire Guild find a silver-maned spider queen with a 'spider silk gem', but it happened to fall into their hands in the end.
It's okay that the Dragon Fire Guild didn't know about this. If they did, they don't know if they would be so angry that they would explode on the spot.
Fang Plover took the gem from Tian Lan's hand with some caution. How much trouble could the Seven Seas Brigade save by having this thing? It's like raising a 'Panil Cunning Spider' on the ship that can continuously replenish attention, so that the ship can be repaired in the future.
The sail problem was also solved.
As for the need to build sails in the future, there is no need to bother with the disgusting giant spiders.
This gray 'crystal' looks unattractive on the outside, but in Fang Yu's eyes at this moment, it is much more beautiful than the brightest gem. It can even be said to be the most valuable thing for the team they have obtained since their adventure.
Baby.
He couldn't help but turn around and glare at Tian Lan, and said heartbrokenly: "How can such a precious thing be slapped on the table casually? What if it gets broken?"
Tian Lan chuckled: "Brother Ed, who is a financial addict."
"Why, why are you so obsessed with money? I'm thinking about the team."
"Don't worry, it's very strong. This is what Sister Sylvide said."
The noble daughter also smiled and nodded.
Fang Yu was speechless and wiped the gem on his clothes, then carefully put it in his pocket and said firmly: "In short, I will keep it for you first."
Tianlan slapped the table, laughing for a moment.
After a small interlude, everyone started talking about the Dragon Fire Guild and the Blood Shark Air Pirates that appeared in Idos. Fang Plov suddenly remembered something. The big cat man and Parker said something to him a long time ago,
It’s about their journey from the Hill of Giant Trees to Kaolin.
Only then did he pick up this memory again and asked: "I heard that there is some connection between the Blood Shark Pirates and the Gray Sea Pirates?"
Rhett suddenly became quiet, his silver-gray eyes flickering.
But before he spoke, Baggins, who was sitting on the side, replied: "That's true. The Blood Shark Pirates were actually first separated from the Gray Sea Pirates."
"Wait a minute, what are gray sea pirates?" Parker suddenly asked: "I have only heard of pale pirates."
Baggins glanced at him and replied: "Above the sea of clouds in Aitaria, there are two most vicious pirate groups. One is the Pale Pirates, and the second is the Gray Sea Pirates. The Pale Pirates like to go to Hanrui.
The operation in the outer sea area, with the Hydra as its emblem, is well-organized and powerful. It is one of the long-term opponents of the Oshur Empire and the Kaolin-Ithurian Navy in the air and sea."
"Because their operating range is close to Kaolin-Ithurian, the people of Kaolin-Ithurian are generally more familiar with this pirate group."
"But the Gray Sea Pirates are actually not inferior to the Pale Pirates at all, but this organization is much more complex. This pirate group is not even just one, but a collective name for many pirates. They mainly operate in the waters off Rotao
, to the Baozhang Coast area in the north of the kingdom, and to the south to St. Anthony. The pirate tradition of today's St. Xiu'an generation is related to this pirate group."
He paused and then said: "The Blood Shark Air Pirates are one of them."
Fang Yu asked: "Then why did they split from the Gray Sea pirates?"
"I'm not sure about this," Baggins shook his head: "That was more than ten years ago. The Blood Shark Pirates seemed to have gotten into some trouble in Lotao, so they left the Gray Sea and headed to Hanrui.
Then, they should now rely on the protection of the Pale Pirates."
"This pirate group can be considered a legend," Sylvide also said: "I heard my father talk about them. They are the only small pirate group that has served for the two major pirate groups."
Fang Plover turned to the big cat man and asked: "Mr. Reid, I remember you mentioned that when you went from the Giant Tree Hill to Kaolin, you encountered the blood shark pirates?"
"That's just the big cat man asking for trouble," Parker said angrily: "He insisted on saying that the Paladin should uphold justice. Originally, the pirate attack had nothing to do with us, and I almost lost my life."
Rhett smiled slightly, and then replied politely: "Actually, it's just a private holiday with the Blood Shark Pirates. There is an old acquaintance in there."
As the big cat man spoke, he touched the scar on his cheek with his paw, and a faint brilliance flashed in his silver-gray eyes.
