Sylvide was quietly watching the firelight of Idos soaring into the sky. The twinkling stars were also reflected in the depths of her eyes. In the deep pupils, the eyes showed a strange light purple color, because they were reflected in the sky.
The sky at night is filled with stars.
The big cat man handed the communication crystal to Baggins, and then the boatswain handed it to her. The ship's officer turned around, nodded gently, took the crystal from Baggins, and held it gently in her hand.
, a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
A light screen was projected in front of her, illuminating the girl's snow-like skin, and Fang Plover's frowning expression appeared on it. Because Sylvide did not have a system, she could only use an external projection light screen, and she walked backwards
He took two steps to prevent outsiders from seeing the light on this side of the valley.
"Sylvid."
"The captain is fine, I'm relieved."
On the side, Alyssa watched with interest as this pair of aristocratic daughters showed a kind of generosity that was very rare among women on earth in this era, which made her feel very interesting about the situation of 'Captain Ed'.
Fang Plover coughed lightly, pretending to be serious and said: "...Silweid, I have encountered some problems here."
"oh?"
Only then did Fang Yu describe what happened before.
After hearing this, Sylvide didn't care about anything else. She just smiled and asked, "So, is Miss Eve beautiful? How does she compare with that sea witch?"
"Ah?" Fang Pultru was immediately stuck: "Sylwede, this, this has nothing to do with that matter..."
"You met Miss Miya, right?"
"this……"
"She contacted me."
"that……"
The ship officer smiled like a little fox and covered her mouth slightly. "Don't worry too much, the captain was actually relayed by Tian Lan. She only cared about the Seven Seas Brigade. And if it is Miss Miya,
I might not mind either."
Of course, Fang Plover would not believe a word of this. This noble daughter’s ability to deceive people was first-class, so he would not fall for it again and again. Moreover, the relationship between him and Miya was completely innocent at the moment.
Yes, he didn't think the Sea Witch would get entangled in these trivial matters.
Fang Plover wittily changed the subject and said, "Okay, Sylvide, let's get down to business."
Sylvide smiled and then replied: "Sir Captain, Mr. Bunigou is with Luo Yu, Parker and the others. But before calling people over, can you take a look at Miss Eve's ring?"
Of course. Fang Yu nodded, placed the ring in his palm, and presented it in front of everyone.
Sylvide took a look, with a look of understanding in her eyes, and replied: "This ring is not very similar to Mr. Bunigou's ring."
"indeed so."
Fang Yu nodded, but looked at his ship officer with some surprise. In his impression, his ship officer would not say such "seemingly correct nonsense". The two rings are of course different, and can even be said to be
There are no similarities.
Because it's not like he hasn't thought about it in this direction, he would have discovered it long ago if there were any problems.
But Sylvide changed the topic and said: "But it's not completely different. In fact, we just habitually use the latter to compare with the former. But on the other hand, Mr. Bunigou's ring seems to be related to this ring. There are some similarities. Captain, please don’t rush in and let me explain them to you one by one.”
When she saw Fang Plover was about to speak, she interrupted him and said: "...I have a certain understanding of Aitalia's ornaments, heraldry and aristocratic aesthetics since I was a child. The patterns and images on Mr. Bunigou's ring are actually Born out of this ring, the reason why it doesn’t look like it is simply because the former is just a poor fake of the latter.”
"The captain has seen the Hailin Crown, so let me use the Hailin Crown as an example."
"...As one of the three treasures left by the elves of Numelin (actually it is the four treasures, but ordinary people are used to using the three treasures), just like Ithulian's Holy Sword of Morning Light, there are many folk stories about the sea This elven laurel crown often appears in various appearances in sculptures, paintings and even scrolls. However, the image of the Hailin Crown in these works is different, and some Very different from the original version.”
Fang Plover opened his mouth, but Sylvide spoke first:
"...The captain may say that there are some similar works among these works. That is normal, because after all, the Hailin Crown has appeared in the world, there are always some witnesses, and there are also some ancient documents about its appearance. Otherwise, how could the captain recognize Hailin Crown?"
"It's just that as time goes by, the image of Hailin Crown becomes more and more distorted. This is because the crown has been lost for a long time, and people pass it on by word of mouth. No one knows which of the many images of Hailin Crown in history is the real one. Real. But although they are distorted, they still retain some basic characteristics and will not change. This is because some characteristics determined by the characteristics of written records themselves are easy to express in words, such as dimensions and numbers."
"And this kind of distortion is actually similar to this ring."
Fang Yu was stunned for a while when he heard this. At this time, Miss Tata also lost no time in telling him that there was such a situation about Hailin Crown. But Fang Yu looked at the ring in his hand and couldn't tell what happened. What are the similarities with the one from Bunigu?
But he was not stubborn and just asked: "What does this prove?"
"It proves that in the Dragon Worship Cult, some people have seen the written description of this ring, but have never seen the actual ring. So they reproduced the ring based on the written description for identification and research, which led to such an absurd situation. distortion"
"Wait a minute, what does this have to do with the Dragon Worship Cult? Isn't this something from Bunigu's grandfather's generation?"
Sylvide smiled: "What the captain is worried about, there is actually some progress on Baggins' side."
Next she recounted the question and answer between Baggins and Bunigou.
Fang Yu listened silently, and was actually not too surprised.
He should have known that Bunigu didn't tell them the truth.
However, Baggins was a little surprised that he could handle this matter alone. It seemed that there were many talents in the Seven Seas Brigade. In addition to Miss Attila and Mr. Reid who could handle it alone, Sylvide and her people
The means are also extraordinary.
This moment made him, a half-assed 'captain and leader', feel a sense of urgency.
However, Fang Yu agreed with Baggins' statement.
It was really unnecessary for Bunigu. In fact, even if he told them directly about this matter, they might not be able to help. But when he thought about it carefully, as strangers who met for the first time, it was normal for the other party not to completely believe them, and he felt relieved.
.
He looked at the ring in his hand and asked Sylvide: "Are you sure?"
"Eight to nine percent sure," Sylvide replied: "I have studied aristocratic heraldry and the major art schools of Corrin-Ithurion since I was a child. I also have a certain understanding of the aesthetic preferences of different regions in the kingdom. This ring
The patterns on it should have come from the hands of craftsmen from the Baozhang Coast area."
"I can try to deduce the original text expression based on the pattern style on the fake, and then further infer the original appearance of the fake. Of course, I can't imagine it out of thin air, but seeing the real ring
, I can conclude that there must be such a relationship between the two."
Fang Yu tried to straighten out the relationship in this paragraph. He said: "In other words, the ring given to him by Bunigu's brother-in-law is actually the blood shark pirate or the Dragon Worship Cult according to a paragraph.
Describe a fake and use it to identify substitutes for the real thing.”
"The Dragon Worship Cult got a description of the appearance of this ring from some unknown source, but they have never actually seen this ring, so they caused such a distortion. They themselves should also know that there is such a distortion, so
Only then can we find Bunigu’s brother-in-law, a genuine archaeologist, to come to the field to identify the authenticity of the ring to prevent the phenomenon of being blind to sight.”
Fang Yu frowned slightly.
This statement is almost consistent with his inference.
The 'Resurrection Sect' in the Dragon Cult seems to have such an embarrassing situation. They know what happened to Dolifen thirty years ago, but they have some specious information, such as the true location of the Dragon's Heart, and this...
What does the ring look like?
But there are people in history who have actually experienced all this.
Eve said that someone stole half of the power of Dragon Heart thirty years ago. That person could not be a fiction. After all, Dolifen's disaster really happened thirty years ago.
The written description of this ring also shows from the side that at least someone has seen this ring before writing such a description. However, I did not know that the relevant written records would fall into the hands of the Dragon Worship Cult later and fake it.
The ring in Nico's hand came here at the same time to discover the legendary 'Dragon Heart'.
But Fang Yu looked at the ring in his hand and felt a little suspicious. If someone had seen this ring, would Eve have dealt with that person thirty years ago? But in this case, since the other party knew about this ring
It was worn on Eve's hand, so why would you specifically describe this ring?
Wouldn’t it be more intuitive to describe Eve’s image?
Still saying that there is another mystery behind the ring.
Fang Yu put away the ring and felt that he was very close to the truth. Luo Lin, Depra, and the "Resurrection Sect" in the Dragon Worship Cult, plus the mysterious "Fourth Party" that appeared now, the Dragon Witch.
What happened before and after the disaster to cause these people to split into so many factions?
The answer is obviously buried under the yellow sand of this ruin.
Thinking of this, he made a plan in his mind, raised his head and said to Sylvester: "Bunigu's brother-in-law will definitely not give this ring to Buunigu for no reason, why should he take this risk?
It must be to convey some kind of message to Bunigu."
"In other words, if the other party just wants Bunigu to find him, all he needs is a letter. But he used this ring as evidence, it must be because there are some more critical clues on it.
Fortunately, we don't need to guess what it is, as long as we find the other party, everything will come to light."
"And Miss Eve told me about a place, that is, the underground of the Idos City Hall. Now that she has been kidnapped, I plan to chase the people who are descendants of Flor. If I can't catch them, I will go with
Miss Etila will go to the underground of Idos City Hall first. After all, Miss Eve mentioned that place repeatedly, there must be something key there."
Fang Yu paused for a moment and then said: "Don't go back to the platform first. Bunig's ring is in Parker's hand now. Sylvide, do me a favor. I'll leave it to you and Mr. Big Cat Man to have full authority over there."
Please take responsibility and find this person, Mr. Bunigou’s brother-in-law.”
"I think the truth about the Dragon Witch incident a hundred years ago lies between these two things."
Sylvide was not surprised at all when she heard this. She looked at the others, then turned back and asked: "Master Captain, don't you plan to meet us first and then make a long-term plan? Isn't it too hasty to act in a hurry now?"
?”
Fang Yu shook his head: "There are also Dragon Knight-level characters among the Blood Shark Pirates. The Dragon Fire Guild and the Rain Listeners are also not easy to mess with in the eyes of the Seven Seas Brigade. But at the moment, Flor's
The appearance of the descendants has hindered the highest combat effectiveness of both sides on the battlefield, which is the best time for us to act."
In fact, Sylvide didn't really want to object.
It was just that as a competent ship officer, she reminded her captain not to act blindly. Seeing that Fang Plover was still thinking clearly, she nodded: "Okay, leave it to us. Although there are some air pirates,
We entered the tunnel, but their home court is still on the ground after all, so it shouldn’t be a big problem for us to infiltrate again.”
"Then be careful."
The noble daughter's eyes flashed slightly, showing a trace of tenderness. She was silent for a moment and then whispered: "Of course, please be careful, Captain."
Fang Plover nodded.
He didn't say much after that. He just called Bunigou and asked him about the approximate location of the Idos City Hall. In fact, both Sylvide and Jita had read relevant documents and could tell them at once.
The location of the city hall is located, but compared to their understanding of the underground world, they are naturally not as good as the descendants of smugglers with "family origins".
But Bunigou actually only knew the place roughly, and told him stammeringly that it was not far from the place where the 'Dragon's First Scale' was located. It's just that the underground passages under the city hall were not similar to those in other places.
It was originally an underground prison where the kingdom's governors were stationed, so it was not connected to the outside world.
Bunigu mentioned that there is a huge cave for hiding soldiers and an underground fortress, but the entrances all around are sealed, so it is not easy to enter. The only possibility is that the tunnel was created during the disaster a hundred years ago.
It collapsed and another entrance appeared.
This possibility is very high. Along the way, Fang Plover also encountered many such passages that did not exist before. However, during the disaster, due to the collapse of other parts of the tunnels, new passages were formed. Of course, there are also many original passages.
Some roads have now become dead ends.
Therefore, he cannot completely place his hope on this. If there is really no other way, returning to the ground and entering the ruins of the city hall, and then finding the entrance to the underground from there is also a way. But the latter is naturally much more dangerous, after all.
The descendants of Flor are fighting fiercely with the Blood Shark Sky Pirates on the surface.
It was already late at night, only a few hours before dawn.
Therefore, after the two parties completed their division of labor, they no longer wasted any more time and immediately split up.
Fang Yu took Etila out of the natural cave where the 'Dragon's First Scale' was located. Before leaving, he took one last look at the dark underground river behind him, where he and the Dragon Witch not long ago fought against Fu.
The experiences of people descended from Lore are still vivid in their minds.
But in the blink of an eye, everything has changed.
But he silently thought of Miss Scarpe. He had carried Miss Scarpe on his back alone and left the tunnel under the elf ruins. But who could have imagined that it would be the last time he stayed in Dawn Star.
A memory, it’s like going back in time at this moment
However, the enemy is still the descendant of Flor.
It's just one more Dragon Worship Cult.
Fang Yu remained silent without saying a word.
I just silently made up my mind that no matter what, I must at least give Eve an explanation. Let's see what happened a hundred years ago, and the reasons why Karatu and Yoxiude kept her stranded here, and why they wanted to put her there.
'Dragon Heart' stays in this place.
Did the dragon-slaying hero really just miss the girl in his heart, so he kept her wandering in this dark underground? But in that case, why did he let Eve stay here alone for a hundred years?
, didn’t he promise to his beloved girl that he would definitely come back?
The two of them walked out of the underground river and came to the hall outside. Fang Yu actually still had a trace of luck in his heart, but the square hall was silent and dark at the moment, and there was no kind girl on the tall rock at the moment.
Singing softly.
Even the cool light above the vault disappeared at this moment.
Fang Yu lit up the lighting crystal and only found the Screaming Banshee that he had broken in the messy hall. He silently picked up the flexible structure, patted the dust on it, and put it back into his backpack.
The two walked out of the hall and found the secret door they had entered earlier. The scene outside the secret door was exactly the same as what Etila had described. The ground was covered with dark, stacked crystal fragments. Fang Yu bent down to pick up one piece, and shared it with Etila.
It was exactly the same as the crystal fragment he had seen before.
He looked around again, and saw that the hole from which the flames spewed out was still there, but the originally molten rock had completely condensed at this moment. The purple flame monster seemed to have changed since he saw it once in the seal.
Never appeared again.
Fang Plover had a vague feeling that that thing might be related to the Dragon's Heart.
And he was about to continue to move forward, when at this moment, the ground suddenly shook violently. Fang Plov raised his head and felt a violent earthquake, which seemed to come from the ground above his head.
