Parker fiddled with the small glass beads on the wooden table, raising his head from time to time, his dark eyes staring at the opposite side of the hotel lobby. There was a crocodile head hanging on the stone wall there, and the crocodile head was nailed to a thick piece of stone.
On the wooden board, he was staring at him with gray crystal eyes.
The box told him before that the crocodile's mouth moved. Looking at the row of white teeth in the crocodile's open mouth, he always felt that the other party was lying to him. The Papalar man told everyone about this.
Cat Man, but Red held the pipe in one paw, shook his head and sighed at him:
"I really don't know who is more stupid between the two of you?"
Parker flicked his fingers out of boredom, and the glass beads slid across the table and fell into the pocket on the other side. Then he raised his head and looked to the other side. Behind a palm leaf, Fang Plover and "those people" were talking.
‘Those people’ are naturally the forest group.
"If you want to join the big guild, I can help you think of some ways," Fang Plover said while looking at the forest and the others. Not long ago in the southern border, the forest and the others were at Ms. Kuisu's place. It can be said that they helped the Seven Seas Brigade.
Be less busy. So he wanted to repay some courtesy: "But now I have a quarrel with the descendants of Flor. If you had ideas about 'ragnarok' before, there is nothing you can do. Now I can only help you in Silver
Try to find a position among the subordinate chapters of Wisland."
"This is the first way." Fang Yu said. After saying that, he looked at the forest and others. Silver Vislan's domestic ranking is much higher than that of 'ragnarok', but the subordinate guild is another concept. Silver
The subordinate guilds of Vislan are far less famous than the subordinate guilds of 'ragnarok'.
It is possible for him to recommend people like Lin Lin to the subordinate guilds of Silver Vislan, but they are only peripheral members at best. This is just a small favor. With his cooperative relationship with Silver Vislan (Energy Angel
The deal with the self-destructing walker), the other party should sell him this favor.
After hearing this, Lin Lin was silent for a moment, and then looked back at the others. But unlike most people whose eyes lit up when they heard the word 'Top Ten', they weighed it before letting Lin Lin ask on their behalf: "Ed.
, we should be extremely grateful if you can help us find a way out, and we should not make any more demands. But after those of us experienced the Southern Alliance incident, for the 'Grand Guild', for the 'Super Competitive Alliance', whether it is the Rainbow Alliance or the
Even the descendants of Flor have some grudges."
He paused for a moment and then said: "So can I ask what the second method is."
Fang Yu looked at these people and fully understood their thoughts. After all, why was he not the same? He could actually see that the first choice of Lin Lin and the others was to stay in his own team.
It's a pity that the newborn Seven Seas Traveler doesn't need so many people, otherwise he wouldn't mind it.
He thought for a moment before replying: "Do you know the Oak Knights of Tapolis?"
The people in the forest were startled for a moment, and then nodded. The Oak Knights are naturally not as famous as the 'Top Ten Guilds' such as 'ragnarok' and Silver Vislan, but they are still considered the top of the second tier, and they have the ability to hit the first tier.
, he is quite famous among the domestic selectors.
Only then did Fang Plover tell the other party the current situation of the Oak Knights of Tapolis in detail.
In the past six months, Yugudola and Hongye have not been idle, and they have begun to form the "Independent Adventurers Alliance" that existed in the imagination. In fact, this nominal "alliance" does not have a real
In the sense of an organization, a leader or a core, there is only one general outline similar to the "Stargate Declaration".
In their imagination, under this "general outline" specification, the freely selected people in the alliance can achieve some basic exchanges and mutual assistance.
Although now the 'Alliance' only relies on several independent teams from the original Oak Knights of Tapolis, with more than a dozen other adventure teams, and several other free-chosen guilds in the same situation.
Some of the manpower, the total size will not exceed 3,000 people.
Moreover, these three thousand people are scattered in various places, and the method of contacting each other has not yet been decided. They can only communicate with each other through the responsible persons in various places. It can be said that everything is in its infancy and is still very crude.
However, in recent months, some free-chosen teams of non-free guilds have gradually begun to join it, and due to the extremely light restrictions, the 'Alliance' has gradually gained some positive reviews and voices in the community.
Everything seems to be developing in the orderly direction that Yugudola originally envisioned——
Finally, Fang Yucai said: "If you are not interested in the so-called 'big guild', maybe you can try this method. In this way, you can form a team on your own and at the same time enjoy the benefits of the 'alliance' and the rules of the 'alliance'
There are very few restrictions on those who join, and you can explore and take risks in this world freely just like the first generation forerunners."
After hearing this proposal, Lin Lin seemed to show some interest. He turned back to communicate with the others, and the others were also moved and whispered.
Fang Yu was not in a hurry, and took a sip of the tea made by Sylvide himself and waited for the other party to finish the discussion. He didn't know whether it was the noble lady's meticulousness or the high quality of the tea sent by Princess Rupert, which made him feel a little comfortable.
He narrowed his eyes.
He glanced at his communication crystal by the way. On the light page was a message that Sophie had sent him not long ago. It said that Stargate Port had set up an investigation team to conduct an in-depth investigation into the descendants of Flor in private.
Of course, this was a shady matter, and Sophie also gave numerous instructions to him not to leak the news.
Fang Yu was slightly surprised. It had only been a few days since he handed over the letter, and there was actually no definite evidence in the letter. Everything was just his words. But it seems that after the two incidents of Vanrick and Idos
After the incident, Stargate Port had considerable trust in themselves as a 'collaborator'.
Of course, he also knew that Su Changfeng should be the driving force behind this——
However, he was very satisfied with the responsible and cooperative attitude of Stargate Port, which at least showed that the other party valued his opinions.
After reading it, he deleted the message from the communication crystal, and then sent a reply to Sophie to reassure her. Sophie immediately sent him a picture back, which was a selfie——
It was the scene where she was having a tryst with Qian in a small restaurant. Under the light of candlelight, the Silver Vislan Princess was smiling at him:
"Thanks——"
The other party attached a text like this.
Of course Fang Yu understood what she meant. He couldn't help but smile when he saw it, and then deleted the picture. After all, it was his wife, and sharing it with him was a sign of trust, but he left it in the communication crystal.
It’s not a good idea to download something like this.
Of course, the main reason is that I am afraid of being settled by Su Changfeng.
He raised his head, and the discussion on the other side of the forest had just finished. The other party turned around and asked him: "Ed, I have a question."
Fang Plover nodded.
"Several teams of the Oak Knights of Tapolis, including the team led by Miss Hongye you mentioned, are they actually still part of the original 'Oak Knights'? Although they are not in the original guild in name.
But it’s still organized, right?”
Fang Yu thought for a moment and thought that the other party was worried about this issue, so he replied: "No matter how many teams there are, the teams are still subordinate to the original 'Tapolis Oak Knights', but this actually has little to do with you. You guys
You should have seen the rules of the 'league'. This is not a binding organization. No matter how strong the teams affiliated to it are, it cannot give orders to other teams."
But he didn't expect that Forest shook his head: "That's not what I meant, Ed."
Fang Yu was startled: "That is?"
"I mean," Forest replied, "Ed, what do you think of this 'alliance'?"
"Me?" Fang Yu thought for a moment: "Of course I support it."
"So this alliance actually has its own organization. As long as you abide by the alliance's rules, you can become a member?" Lin Lin asked again.
"indeed so."
"In that case, the Tapolis Oak Knights can have their own organization," the forest replied: "Then why can't the Seven Seas Brigade have its own organization? We think we can join in the name of a subordinate team of the Seven Seas Brigade.
This 'alliance'."
Fang Yu looked at these people in surprise. In fact, such an operation was not strange, but he had never thought about it in this direction.
He couldn't help coughing and asked: "Why are you doing this?"
Lin Lin smiled and said bluntly: "Actually, we originally wanted to stay in the Seven Seas Brigade, Ed, you should be able to tell. But we also understand that when this team was first established, it did not need so many people, so you can just
We are expanding the peripheral members of the Seven Seas Brigade. When there is any opportunity in the future, we can be given priority."
Fang Yu was stunned when he heard this.
There are some well-known old free adventure groups in the second world. After a certain period of operation and accumulation, they have subordinate teams in the first world. This is not news. But when an independent adventure group was first established, the continuous creation group
When the author himself is still half a novice, he has a team of subordinates. It would be strange if he didn't make people laugh out loud when he said this.
But he took a closer look at Lin Lin and the others and realized that they were serious.
He couldn't help but said: "Wait, everyone, the Seven Seas Troupe itself is just a new team... Of course, if it can really develop and grow in the future, and you are still willing to join by then, I will welcome you here at any time. You don't have to do it at all.
in this way."
But the forest replied: "Ed, after the Seven Seas Traveler is built, you should leave Corrin-Ithurion, right?"
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Not necessarily." What he was thinking was that he planned to go back to El Paxin to lie down first. After all, Mr. Mazak had entrusted him with the task. Although he responded to the letter,
It would be better to hand the Ring of Golden Flame back to the other party with your own hands.
Although what makes him a little embarrassed is that the Ring of Golden Flame has been completely changed by him.
Then he has to go to the Holy Mountain of Eldron, which is one of the main purposes of his coming to this world. After getting the floating ship, of course he has to fulfill his long-cherished wish. Finally, he goes south to Naugness and Ka-Cuilan.
, he still has an agreement with the Star Priest.
After all this is completed, the Seven Seas Brigade will turn north, pass through Saint-Hughan, and head to the Treasure Staff Coast.
To complete the commission given to him by ‘r’.
After all these matters are settled, which is about the time he leaves Kaolin-Ishulian, he will follow the trade wind route all the way south, pass through the hills of giant trees, and arrive at Gudasok, the far southern continent, and seek the journey from there.
Opportunity to cross the First Continental Bridge.
After hearing his answer, Lin Lin didn't care about it. He only said: "I heard that first-class adventure groups, in addition to aerospace ships, also have support teams on the ground. After all, even ships sailing all over the world have to
There is a base.”
He paused: "And the Seven Seas Traveler should not be able to accommodate Mr. Gray Rock, right? What are you going to do with it? If you store it here, you will have to go back to it next time you return.
Although Istania - Tansnir is one of the busiest ports in Istania, the south of this silver sand sea is not originally on the main channel of Kaolin - Ithurion. You
If you have to go back to this place every time, it will waste a lot of time."
Fang Yu couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this analysis.
The team has indeed discussed how to deal with Mr. Huiyan many times. Although the simplest way is to directly sell Mr. Huiyan, which is also the most trouble-free and labor-saving way. But this proposal has been unanimously agreed upon by the team.
of opposition.
After all, after more than a year of adventure, Mr. Gray Rock accompanied most of the team all the way from El Paxin. For more than 300 days and nights, no one regarded it as an ordinary head.
He is just a beast of burden, more of a beast, he is regarded as a member of the Seven Seas Brigade.
How can they sell team members to others?
But the Seven Seas Traveler is destined to be unable to take Mr. Gray Rock away. The only way, as the forest said, is to store it in Tansnier's stable and ask someone to take care of it. But first, rent a large stable for a long time, and then
Hiring someone to take care of it will cost a lot of money.
The team's funds were not very abundant to begin with, and after adding such an additional expense, it became even more difficult to sustain itself.
Secondly, as the forest said, if they had to return to Tansnir every time, they would waste a lot of time going back and forth.
After hearing Lin Lin's words, Fang Yu couldn't help but fell into deep thought. After a while, he raised his head and looked at the other party and asked: "Do you mean that you will take care of Mr. Huiyan?"
"Yes," Lin Lin nodded: "If we join the Seven Seas Brigade as a subordinate team, Ed can regard us as the logistics staff of the Seven Seas Brigade, and Mr. Gray Rock is also the property of the Seven Seas Brigade.
It’s only natural that we take care of nature.”
"If the Seven Seas Traveler is going somewhere, Ed, you only need to tell us in advance, and we can take Mr. Gray Rock to meet you. And this is equivalent to putting eggs in two baskets.
, which is also safer and more secure.”
Fang Plover was completely convinced by the other party.
I have to say, this is a pretty good proposal.
Just in this way, Lin Lin and others are equivalent to the members of the second group of Qihai Brigade - although the members of the second group themselves are not much, Qihai Brigade is an extremely new novice team, so let Senlin and the others give Qihai
Fang Yu always feels a little weird about the brigade being a peripheral logistics member.
He couldn't help but said: "But..."
But the forest interrupted him and said: "Ed, we also have our own ideas. The descendants of Silver Vislan and Flor are very optimistic about you. Although we don't have a good eye for discerning people, at least we can still see this clearly.
Moreover, we have also witnessed your experience in Du Lun and Van Rick with our own eyes. We are optimistic about the future of the Seven Seas Brigade and that is why we made this choice——"
Fang Yu thought for a moment: "But the current relationship between the Seven Seas Brigade and the 'Super Competitive Alliance' and the 'Descendants of Flor' can be said to be extremely bad, and they may face revenge from the two. Haven't you considered this?
"
Lin Lin smiled: "This is actually our consideration, and isn't it also the original intention of the 'Alliance' founded by the Oak Knights of Tapolis? We have personally experienced the disintegration of the 'Southern Alliance'.
It can be said that it is a painful experience, which is why we chose such a path."
Hearing this, Fang Yu couldn't help but fell silent.
He looked at the other party, not making up his mind for a while, so he just nodded and said, "Let me think about it again."
Lin Lin nodded and did not refute, probably seeing his concerns. As members, they naturally did not have to consider so much. They only had to consider their own wishes, but as a group leader, the other party had to consider whether they could bear the responsibility.
Take this responsibility.
But it was precisely this that made them decide.
A leader who is willing to take responsibility is sometimes far more important to the team members than the leader's own abilities.
Fang Yu was standing up from his seat at this time. He looked at all the people sitting here who were looking at him one by one. In fact, not every look was full of trust in him, except for a few people such as Lin Lin.
Besides, most people still have doubts in their eyes.
But at this moment, he remembered another scene——
That was many, many years ago.
In a forest clearing, a group of people with almost the same doubts and confidence established such an organization - now, this organization has long since ceased to exist, but its name is still ringing in the ears. Its original members,
They even inherited the first honorific title given to the Free Chosen Ones since the Stargate Era:
forerunner.
The so-called .m, the so-called Eastern Communist Party and the Southern Alliance are just the follow-up to that long history.
He felt a little bit emotional in his heart - but not for himself, but for people like Hongye, Yugudola, and the president of Tapolis. Perhaps it was a group of people like them who pioneered the calling
An era in which those who have the courage to explore and forge ahead.
Now, the same group of people are trying to regain the honor of the past.
He took a gentle breath. Although he didn't know whether the efforts of these people were short-lived, he felt lucky enough to experience all this personally. He missed the era of Star Gate and the era of Forerunners, but at least he didn't
If you miss the 'Mount of the Covenant', you will not miss the 'League of the Free Chosen'.
Although the "Seven Seas Brigade" is still very weak now, we finally see hope of participating in it.
Fang Yu clenched his fist. Although he did not give a direct answer, he actually already had the answer in his heart.
Then--
Then he heard a scream.
"The crocodile head really moved——!"
The Papalar jumped three feet high from his position, pointed at the silent and motionless crocodile head, and shouted incoherently.
