Three corpses were lying side by side on the ground. Fang Yu looked at the first one first. The first one was the gloomy man. Of course, the man's face was pale now, with a line of reddish white under his slightly opened eyelids. His hair was disheveled and his skin looked like
Apply a layer of glue.
Fang Yu's eyes stayed on his face for a moment, confirming that he had not seen the other party before he bent down and lifted up the other party's felt cloak. Under the purple and yellow cloak, the other party was wearing gray trousers and a long-sleeved shirt.
There were two sheathed swords, one long and one short, and there were also two empty leather bags, one on the left and one on the right. They were supposed to be used for holding blunderbuss, but they were both pulled out.
On the left and right sides of the leather bag, there were some bottles, some of which contained turbid liquids. Fang Yu didn't know their functions. He had limited knowledge of toxicology. Considering the nature of the other person's work, he did not touch them. He looked past the bottles and landed on them.
On the shorter sword, I felt that this sword was somewhat unique, so I reached out and took it off.
The sheathed sword was less than an cubit long, and there was a butterfly-shaped silver carving on the dark sheath. There was no organization using this emblem image in Fang Plover's memory. He pressed the buckle with his thumb and pulled out the sword.
He came out. The bright light of the sword fell on his face. The blade was very sharp, it was a magic weapon, but other than that there was nothing special about it.
Fang Plover looked at the alchemy formations etched on the spine of the sword, which were affixes that increased lightness and agility. He then inserted the sword back and looked at the corpse to see some bullets hanging on the slanted leather shoulder strap.
Bag, and further up is the location where the opponent was shot, on the left chest. After the bullet burned through the felt braid, it left a dark red patch on the shirt.
A little further on, there is a coat of arms stuck on a pin. The coat of arms is about the size of a coin, with a blue background. Unicorns and ligers on the left and right guard the crown in the center, with two long swords crossing each other.
It was similar to the national emblem of Kaolin-Ithurion. Seeing this, Fang Plover knew in his heart that the other party was undoubtedly a secret agent of the royal family.
He put down his shawl. A faint layer of fluorescence was glowing on the pale face of the corpse, and a white light group was emerging from the fluorescence. Where the light penetrated, the corpse was gradually becoming transparent.
He checked the remaining two corpses one after another. Each of them had similar equipment, but only two of them had exactly the same dagger.
Fang Yu took off the two daggers and put them together. Soon, the same fluorescence appeared on one of the daggers, and disappeared in the flickering white light, leaving behind a patch of dust.
The three corpses were all resurrected, and the hall of the 'Sand Journey House' became quiet again. Except for the bullet marks left on the ground, it seemed as if nothing had happened.
Fang Yu straightened up and pondered for a moment.
He roughly understood what trouble he was in.
As for Sylvide's affairs around him, they were not kept secret. They had already been exposed once in Vanrich. It was unrealistic to expect the Elfendor Council to keep secrets. Teacher Ander and Old Copper Nose might be able to
Trust, but others don't.
Ever since the incident with Count Silin-Spica, he could see clearly that it was a sieve with air leakage from all sides.
But currently, the only people who know his exact location are the military, the descendants of Flor and the Super Athletic Alliance. And it is impossible for the military to sell him to the prime minister. It is conceivable that there are only people left who can do this.
, both the descendants of Flor and the Super Sports Alliance are suspected.
He offended these two parties last time, but he didn't expect that revenge would come so quickly and in such a cruel way, which made him feel a little disdainful.
Forget about the descendants of Flor, there is no way that the Super Sports Alliance didn't know about this and the other party actually took action against Sylvide. They shouldn't be unaware that this involves the internal affairs of Kaulin-Ithulian.
Moreover, on the one hand, it is related to the safety of the noble daughter, and the other party's behavior of treating human life as trivial is in line with the standards that a Stargate organization should have? Unfortunately, it is temporarily unable to grasp the other party's handle, which only makes him a little intolerable.
"Brother Ed, are they really spies from the royal family?" Tian Lan asked.
Jita held her bachelor's robe in her hands as if trying to squeeze out water, and said with deep concern: "That brooch is the emblem of the Corin-Ithurian royal family. If it is not a forgery..."
Fang Yu turned around and smiled at everyone: "Maybe, but it's not a big deal."
Sylvide opened her mouth to speak, but Adela held her hand from behind. She turned around, and Miss Elf's emerald green eyes were like a deep lake, immersed in the ancient tranquility, and said to her: "This is Ed's
matter."
Sylvide thought for a moment and nodded.
Everyone was a little quiet for a while.
Fang Yu looked at them and then said: "Everyone... From today on, the road ahead may be full of crises and difficulties, but this is something we have already expected. But the promise we made, I hope we can
Stay together and accompany each other on this journey.
No matter in the end, it will be filled with thorns or flowers."
Luo Yu, Jita and Luo Hao listened and nodded lightly. Although Ai Xiaoxiao didn't know what was going on, she still nodded. Tang Xin glanced at her friend and sighed, thinking that sometimes she might not have a brain.
There is also a kind of simple happiness.
And Box was lowering his head, carefully checking how much mana his magic wand had used.
"And Miss Sylvide is still our investor." Tianlan said.
"Wait a minute, can't we take this opportunity to default on the debt?" The Papalar people keenly grasped the blind spot.
"Parker" Atila stared at this guy.
Sylvester couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, okay, I'm not from the Kingdom of Kaolin-Ithurian, and I don't belong to the Third Division," Parker said: "What does this have to do with me, but you have to tell me one thing,
If we really go against the royal family and I steal their treasury again, you won't act as old-fashioned as last time, right?"
Alyssa smiled slightly: "You said the leader is old-fashioned?"
"Eh, that's just a metaphor."
Big cat people don't need to express their opinions. Baggins looked at everyone, and a touch of emotion suddenly flashed in his light brown eyes. He looked at his eldest lady, and suddenly realized that she had chosen the right group of people from the beginning.
Siesta glanced at Fang Plover with her unchanging silver gaze.
Fang Yu looked at the people who were making jokes, and he understood everyone's decision. A thought suddenly came to his mind:
I have the best team, which is not inferior to Miss Scarpet’s ‘Dawn Star’
It is still very weak, but will one day grow stronger.
He looked at Sylvester, and the ship's officer returned the look with a smile.
…
Erna looked at these people and felt that they were not the same as those she had met before. They were sincere and cherished friendship. Compared with the hurriedly chosen people she had dealt with, these people seemed to have a little more in them.
Call it the breath of 'humanity'.
"Ed," she then said, "the Kaolin royal family's spies are everywhere. If you offend them, you should be more careful."
Fang Yu turned back to look at the president, a little surprised. The other party represented the Craftsmen's Association, and the Craftsmen's Association was also part of the official force of Kaolin-Ishulian. They killed the royal spies, and their behavior was tantamount to rebelling against the party.
, is the other party still on their side?
"Although this is Istania, the Kaolin royal family still has a certain influence here, so we must not take it lightly." Ms. Djinn hesitated for a moment, then said: "I will try my best to help you keep the news for a while.
But when those people come back, that won’t be the case.”
"Ms. Erna, you..."
Erna shook her head slightly: "I just think you are not bad people, and I have heard about the prime minister's behavior. In fact, if the eldest princess likes you, you may not need my help."
Fang Yu felt a little moved in his heart: "Thank you, Ms. Erna. It's a pity that I agreed to help you study the fairy envoy thing, but I'm afraid it will be stranded for a while."
Erna looked very free and easy at the moment, and said nonchalantly: "There will be many opportunities in the future. By the way, Ed, what did you use before...?"
"Yes, Ms. Erna, that is ancient alchemy. It was taught to me by Mr. Anlosser."
Erna looked at the structural siren behind Fang Plover.
"You are a genius, but it's a pity that the people in Corin-Ithulian can't see it, but you must not forget your origin, Ed."
"Of course, I will always be an alchemist born in Kapka and will always belong to the third division."
Erna then nodded, looked at the structure of the Kraken and said: "So if it is important to you, take it with you. I will find another way to deal with the guild supplies..."
Fang Yu had heard the middle-aged craftsman talk about some things about the new president, and he also understood that the other party did not have much money, and he was even more moved in his heart.
"Ms. Erna."
"It's Sister Erna," Erna corrected him, and made a joke based on this: "If you become famous in the future, I can also get some glory. Okay, Ed, I have to leave for something.
, if you really have something that cannot be solved, come to me."
After that, she looked at the place again and walked out.
"He is an upright person." Attila looked at the other person's leaving figure and said.
Fang Plover thought so.
…
About half an hour later, everyone saw Abed arriving.
Two beasts of burden named 'Bergo' stopped one after the other outside the door of 'Sand Travel Lodge'. This kind of wingless dragon that lives in the wasteland is tall and strong, and its body is covered with thick earth-yellow scales.
A mute servant brought a soft-topped stool. With the support of another mute servant, Abed stepped on the stool and stepped off the satin soft seat.
Abed was wearing a soft cloth robe with a plaid pattern today. Under his curly black hair, he looked around like a desert peregrine falcon first and then at everyone. He obviously knew what was going on here before he came.
Without saying much, he lowered his voice with thin lips and said:
"Follow me, Her Royal Highness the Princess wants to see you."
"Mr. Abed." Fang Yu stepped forward and said.
Abed raised a skinny finger and put it in the middle of his lips, signaling them to be careful what they said.
When Fang Yu saw this scene, he seemed to feel something and stopped in his tracks.
Abed stretched out his hand to signal them to go out. One of the two 'Bergos' was prepared for them. This tall beast of burden can carry seven or eight people on its broad back, and its wide feet are also conducive to walking on the sand.
Walking on it is a veritable "desert boat" in Istania.
Tianlan and Jita have never experienced riding on the 'Bergo'. The two little girls were very curious about riding on the back of the beast of burden. From time to time they touched the scales on the back of the pterosaur, or it was as wide and umbrella-shaped as a ceratopsian.
of bone plates.
The beast of burden passed through the market and slowly headed out of the port.
But Fang Yu was thinking about what happened before and didn't pay too much attention to the changes in the surrounding scenery.
Not long after, 'Bergo' stopped outside a manor.
The Istanian-style manor is located in an oasis outside the harbor, with a long white sand wall shaded by lush greenery, a lake in the distance, sparkling water, and a golden vault behind the slender branches of the sandalwood tree.
, faintly visible, reflecting the gray sand dunes in the sky.
No one expected that there would be such a beautiful place on the edge of the desert, and they couldn't help but marvel.
Several servants in white robes came forward and helped everyone down. After careful observation, Fang Piao found that each of these servants was well-trained and behaved well, and they were not mute. He thought they were the princess.
The weather near you is indeed different from what you see in other places.
However, he was not used to being served by others, so he jumped down on his own initiative. He then put the sheathed dagger in his hand behind him. When the white crystal on the scabbard fit into the groove on the belt, he suddenly felt a lot lighter.
Abed dismissed the servants and led them into the manor.
After passing through a cobblestone path covered by trees, everyone entered a courtyard. The sound of strings and drums came melodiously in the distance. Before they walked a few steps, a group of desert dancers in light gauze appeared in the courtyard.
They walked towards me with bare feet, and silver threads and bells were tied around their ankles, which jingled as they walked.
However, the desert women were enthusiastic and unrestrained, so the girls still glanced at them boldly, and then walked away with laughter like silver bells.
Moving forward, the sweet sounds became clearer. After passing through a hollow-decorated Istanian-style door, everyone turned into a hall, and then the tinkling music hit their faces. The light in the hall was dim, and the floor
It is paved with black stone and polished so that it can be seen through the eyes, giving it a majestic appearance.
There were some hollow incense burners placed under the pillars, which were dispersing smoke, making the hall a little hazy. And Fang Plover noticed that in the dark corner, there were several guards standing at attention, each holding a scimitar, staring intently.
Upon taking a look, I realized that they were all constructs wearing robes.
It seems that Her Royal Highness the Princess is very fond of these alchemical products, Fang Yu thought.
Moreover, the other party's lover is also an alchemist.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the middle-aged craftsman standing in front of him. The other man also saw them and nodded and smiled at everyone. Fang Yu was about to speak when he saw another person not far away with four penises touching the arch.
In the center of the dark stone pillars, a thick white carpet is laid out, and a silk cushion is placed on top of the white fur.
And on top of it, a young girl was sitting.
The other party is about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing traditional Istanian clothing, a fiery red skirt with gold rims, a veil, golden earrings dangling lightly, and the skin exposed at the neck is slightly dyed camel. A pair of
His light brown eyes are extremely bright and he is looking at the front seriously.
Not far away, the dancing girl was dancing gracefully. The musician played the banjo in his hand very fast, making a thumping sound. The artist on the side occasionally beat the drum, and a fast-paced beat came out. At this moment, the dancing girl touched the ground with her bare feet, dancing in a flying posture.
Beside the woman were two maids on the left and right, one holding a hookah for her and the other holding a gold teacup.
The girl noticed the middle-aged craftsman's movements and turned around.
When she saw Fang Yu and Luo Yu, her eyes couldn't help but light up:
"Is it Mr. Ed?"
So without any further introduction by the middle-aged craftsman, Fang Plover understood that this was Princess Rupert-Penelope, the eldest daughter of Barbartan, the King of Sand.
He stopped and politely replied: "Your Highness the Princess."
Fang Yu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the shrewd and capable princess in the rumors would turn out to be such a girl. However, the Istanians called her the Pearl of the Desert, and the other party did have this qualification. Her face
Her beauty is only slightly inferior to that of a noble daughter.
"You don't have to be formal," Princess Rupert said with a soft voice: "You saved Afifah once, and this time I came here specifically to thank you."
As she spoke, she clapped her hands gently.
As soon as the music stopped, the dancers retreated one after another.
A group of servants walked out of the corner from nowhere, each holding a carpet, a low table and a cushion in their hands. They arranged them one by one. The whole process was completed in one go. It took less than a minute to arrange a place for each of them, and the servants said nothing.
Hair, head lowered and walked out.
"Everyone, please take a seat," Princess Rupert stretched out her hand again, gesturing for them to sit down: "Last time, Abed failed to treat guests well, and I have already scolded him."
Fang Yu looked at the others before sitting down cross-legged. The soft cushion seemed to be filled with camel hair and was very soft, as if he had fallen into a cloud.
When everyone saw him sitting down, they also sat down one after another. Sylvester sat beside him, while Tang Xin and Ai Xiaoxiao were on the other side.
At this moment, the princess clapped her hands again, and another servant came up with a silver plate and tea, and placed all kinds of rare fruits from the desert. Parker and Tianlan's eyes shone when they saw it, and they stretched out their hands one on the left and the other on the right, but they were
Aitila fought back one by one.
Fang Yu then raised his head and replied: "Your Highness, what happened last time has nothing to do with Mr. Abed."
Princess Rupert smiled slightly: "I won't talk about this today. We Istanians have our own tradition of hospitality, especially distinguished guests. Not only did you save my sister once, but you also helped me and my father.
I’m very busy, but due to emotions and reasons, I should let everyone enjoy today’s banquet.”
"A big help?"
Fang Plover was about to ask.
But Her Royal Highness the Princess whispered something to the maid beside her, and saw the latter retreat.
She then raised her head and said to everyone: "Do you know what the real delicacies are in Istania?"
