The scenery on the courtyard in the distance is probably the occasional waiter passing by under the palm trees, and the loose robe, because it is not common outside the silver sand sea.
The hollow railings there are naturally painted white.
It is a fairly traditional Istanian-style building, and the environment is much more conservative than that of the Sand Lodge. Under the corridor is just a low table and a thick animal hair carpet spread out - Fang Plover and Ale
The husbands sat across from each other on the floor. There was a square cloth on the low table, with plates stacked on it, containing food, fruits and vegetables, and baskets filled with bread. The tip was like a hill, and the quantity was abundant. This seemed to be the custom of desert people.
Tradition.
This is the second time the two have met.
Aleph was sitting across from the short table, looking at him with brown gem-like eyes with a hint of expectation, and said: "Ed, Master Borod has returned to Questac."
"He heard that you repaired the tower magic furnace and hoped to meet you."
"So are you free?"
The other party's eyes were sincere, obviously hoping that he would agree.
To be honest, Fang Plover was a little embarrassed. He just did a small favor for the other person with purpose that day - at least in his opinion, but the gratitude shown by the other person was beyond his expectation -
At least judging from the other party's attitude, it seemed that he really regarded him as a friend.
However, he quickly calmed down. He had some purposes, but they were not too ulterior. At best, they were just fulfilling his obligations to Her Royal Highness, and he didn't plan to do anything. He just planned to start from
The other party is here to inquire about news about Penelope's royal family.
Since we are in a strange place, maybe it would be good to make some friends.
In fact, early that morning, the other party sent him a letter, saying that he had something to discuss.
Prior to this, he would have been too preoccupied to agree, but in the past two days, he had no clue in his investigation in the city. There was no news from the palace, and he almost ignored all occasions where people gathered in the city, large or small.
I have searched everywhere, but there are no rumors about the eldest princess anywhere.
In desperation, everything seems to have to go back to where it started.
He made an appointment with the other party's servant to meet at the izakaya three days ago, which was where he was now.
However, Fang Yu did not expect that the so-called 'important matter' turned out to be such a thing.
So he asked a little helplessly:
"Who is Master Burrard?"
"That's my teacher," Aleph replied: "He is the court alchemist. You may not have seen him."
Fang Yu really went to inquire about such a person, but there was no such person in the Istania Craftsmen Association. He thought he was a noble alchemist or something like that - but he didn't expect that he was a palace alchemist. But speaking of the palace,
Alchemists also belong to the category of aristocratic alchemists, but they are just the type that belongs to the royal family.
He was suddenly startled after hearing this answer: "Court Alchemist?"
Aleph nodded.
"But you said he is your teacher?"
"Yes, my full name is actually Alef Saliei Penelope."
"Alef Saliai Penelope, what is your name...?"
There was a hint of surprise in Fang Yu's tone.
Aleph put down the wine glass in his hand and smiled: "Ed should have heard of the surname Penelope. This is actually not surprising. I didn't intend to hide it, but you didn't ask at the time. I am exactly
A member of the royal family, to be precise, Babartan, the King of Sand, is my father."
Fang Yu opened his mouth. "So you are His Highness the Prince?"
Aleph nodded.
Although he said this, there was no hint of pride in his words, and Fang Pliance even heard a hint of worry in them.
However, this idea only flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but be surprised. What surprised him was his good luck. For the sake of the eldest princess, a person he casually contacted in the Adventurer's Guild seemed to have some identity.
Now it seems that he is directly a member of the royal family and a prince.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
But after thinking about it, Fang Yu realized that it was hard to say whether this was good luck or not. The other party was a member of the royal family, but he was in the middle of this whirlpool. Compared with those nobles who had nothing to do with him, it could be said that he was
The party directly involved. If he rashly inquires about the matters in the palace, will it arouse the other party's suspicion?
Sometimes, having relevant information and not having relevant information are just hearsay. The degree of sensitivity to a matter cannot be equated. The other party is a prince, so he will not be unclear about what is happening in the palace. After all, that party
One is his father and the other is his sister.
It is appropriate to say that he is a party involved.
Fang Yu pondered for a moment, but Aleph could see that his new friend was worried, so he couldn't help but ask:
"What's wrong, Ed?"
"It's nothing, it's just something I feel in my heart." Fang Yu replied, shaking his head.
Naturally, he would not express his thoughts.
"Feeling something?" Aleph looked at him strangely.
He had imagined many reactions from the other party when he heard about his identity, but he had never thought of the phrase 'feeling something in his heart'. However, Fang Plover's attitude aroused his curiosity. He had also seen the Selector, and he had no idea about it.
After all, his identity is not as respectful as the aborigines, but he is more or less curious.
What is the meaning of ‘feeling in the heart’?
Aleph looked at the other person and couldn't help but said: "If Ed encounters any trouble, you can tell me. You just did me a big favor. According to the principles above the sea of sand, I should return a favor to you."
Fang Yu smiled bitterly: "I said, it's just a commission."
It's not that he doesn't want to nod, but what should he say otherwise? Let the other party take him into the palace to meet with Her Royal Highness the Princess?
Thinking about it, I know it’s unreliable.
Seeing that he was unwilling to talk, Aleph thought for a moment and stopped asking questions, and instead talked to him about the previous matters related to the magic furnace.
"Ed, after my teacher returned from Kaga, he heard that you had repaired the tower magic furnace. Especially since I heard that you were so young, I have always wanted to see you."
"He is one of the best masters of Istania's magic construction school. He rarely gives advice to outsiders. It will always be beneficial for you to meet him."
When Fang Yu heard about the magic structure, he couldn't help but become a little curious. He did encounter some minor problems in the actual application of the siren structure, but after all, he was no longer in Tansnir, and there was no Ms. Erna who could
Taught him how to use magic constructs all the time. Moreover, the 'Star Network' skill provided by Delan also contained a lot of knowledge related to magic constructs.
But this is secondary, mainly because his current investigation has reached a dead end. Under unthinkable circumstances, this is the only way to go.
In front of him is a member of the royal family, the kind who can enter the palace of Istania at any time. If he doesn't seize this road, what else can he think of? Since the other party wants him to see that uncle
Master Lud, it wouldn't be a bad idea to meet him. He had seen many master craftsmen with both ability and political integrity in the Craftsmen's Association, but he had never had much contact with the aristocratic alchemist.
Seeing him nodding, Aleph couldn't help but be a little overjoyed and asked hurriedly:
"Then let's leave now?"
Seeing that the other party seemed to really attach great importance to this meeting, Fang Yu was a little surprised and nodded again.
…
After walking out of the izakaya, two desert knights were negotiating with the owner behind, but did not follow for a while.
Fang Plover looked back and suddenly asked: "Does Aleph know Princess Afifah?"
The young man turned back and looked at him in surprise: "Of course, that's my half-sister. Why, does Ed know Afifah?" As he spoke, a soft look appeared on his face involuntarily.
: "My relationship with Afifah is pretty good, but of course it's not as good as her relationship with her sister."
Fang Yu glanced at the soft expression on the other person's face, and a trace of surprise flashed in his heart. He asked Afifa, of course, to ask the eldest princess, but he was just asking the eldest princess directly, fearing that it would be too abrupt and make the other person think of it.
I mentioned recent events. But I didn’t expect the effect to be surprisingly good. The other party actually took the initiative to mention Princess Rupert.
Just looking at Aleph's demeanor, why does it seem like he doesn't know anything about the eldest princess?
If the eldest princess was under house arrest, why shouldn't he have such an expression when he mentioned the sisters?
But Aleph continued: "It seems that today's incident has something to do with this matter."
Fang Yu was slightly startled. "What?"
"Ed doesn't know yet, but the magic furnace you repaired is the gift Afifah and I are planning to give to my father." Aleph smiled awkwardly: "My father's fifty-fifth birthday is coming soon.
, this is a special day for the people of the desert, after all, it was at this age that the first King of Sand established Istania."
"Afeifa has been preparing this gift for a long time, but I accidentally broke it, and Master Burrard didn't return in time. If it hadn't been for Ed, I would have been doomed. So I asked you to help me."
You've done me a big favor, it's no joke."
Fang Yu vaguely felt that the other party had not fully said what he said. For example, how could the gift prepared by Afifa be in his hands? However, he did not care much about these trivial matters. But when he heard the birthday of the King of Sand,
There was a slight movement in his heart, and he wanted to ask something, but when he saw the two knights coming up from behind, he thought for a while but still did not speak.
Just keep this in mind silently.
Although Master Burrard is a court alchemist, he does not completely live in the palace. In fact, he is Kaolin's court alchemist, and of course he does not live in the palace. Kaolin's court alchemist even goes one step further.
They are directly affiliated with the Federation of Craftsmen, and some of them are even dispatched personnel from the Federation of Craftsmen.
The master's residence is not far from this place, just diagonally opposite the Adventurer's Guild. No wonder the prince went to the Adventurer's Guild to find someone. It seems that the master will still take risks when he is fine.
A temporary position in the Association of Professionals.
However, although the journey was short, Fang Yu still found the opportunity to ask some indirect questions about recent events in the palace.
But what surprised him was that he didn't know whether the young prince really didn't know or was pretending to be stupid. He asked for a long time, but he couldn't find out the reason.
In just a few words, the two of them arrived at their destination.
The place itself was an alchemy workshop, but it was normal for an alchemist to transform his residence into a workshop. Fang Yu didn't find it surprising when he saw it. There were even guards guarding the door of the workshop, but the other party obviously
Knowing Aleph, he let them in without looking away.
The furnishings in the workshop are also familiar to Fang Plover. They are not as good as what he saw in Duron and Vanric. The workshops under the Elfendor Council - and the Rose Workshop are much more luxurious than here.
.Istania is not only a marginal area on the political map of the Kingdom of Corin-Ithurion, but also on the actual map and the alchemy map. No matter how prosperous the magic construction school is, it cannot change this.
.
This is evident from these details.
If it were the private workshop of the court sorcerer of the Kaolin royal family, it would definitely not be like this.
However, Fang Piao did not underestimate a true master of alchemy. Just like Ms. Erna, no matter how she was the president of the craftsmen's association in a remote country, her level was far beyond his.
Level suppression is that simple and clear.
The meeting with Master Bolard was also not beyond Fang Plover's imagination - but the other party was younger than he expected. He originally thought that the master of alchemy and court magician was an old man, but he did not expect that the other party was still an old man.
A middle-aged man in the prime of life.
There are just some slight spots on the temples.
The other party was also surprised by his youth. After discussing with him the principles and structure of the tower magic furnace from the perspective of a professional alchemist, he couldn't help but praise his knowledge. However, Fang Plover meant more than he meant.
But I heard something different. It turned out that the master alchemist thought he was a liar.
Of course, this does not represent the current understanding of Master Boulud. After a face-to-face discussion with Fang Plover, he has completely given up the idea and appreciates Fang Plover's youth and promise. However, the alchemist
This is a group of people who seldom think about other things except what they specialize in. They speak directly and straightforwardly, and Fang Plover can figure out the whole story in just a few words.
Fang Yu was a little dumbfounded for a moment, but he probably understood what the other party was thinking. After all, such young alchemists are common, but such a young crystal craftsman also understands such antique things as the tower magic furnace. If it hadn't been for him
Speaking for himself, I'm afraid he might even think that he is a braggart.
In addition, the other party is also the teacher of His Royal Highness, so one must be cautious in this regard.
However, after the misunderstanding was explained, the meeting made both parties feel that the trip was worthwhile. In front of a true master of alchemy, Fang Plover was naturally nothing, but he had great experience in the tower magic furnace and ancient alchemy.
In terms of his technical insights, he has benefited a lot from top master craftsmen like Arquette, and even inadvertently contributed to the reappearance of fighting fairies, not to mention Bolard, a court warlock from Istania?
As for Fang Plover, Borod's knowledge level is naturally much higher than that of Elna, and he is worthy of the title of master. In the craftsmen's association, the title of master craftsman is indispensable - of course.
Probably the weakest one. For example, the deputy director of a certain sub-department.
Probably out of guilt for mistaking a 'young talent' like Fang Plover as a liar, Burrard also took the rare patience to explain some of Fang Plund's questions about the structure of the Kraken.
He also gave Fang Pultru some insights into his notes when he was young.
These things are impossible to obtain. After all, they are the experience of a master in his youth. When Fang Plover got his hands on it, he was immediately prompted by the system to 'obtain the original manuscript of the master', and then directly gained thousands of experience points. Fang Plover was stunned for a while.
, he was hesitating whether he should go back to Dullon and vacate his teacher’s house?
And this is the second thing.
Burrard looked at Delan's 'Star-Shaped Network' technique, pondered for a moment, and then said to him:
"I'm not very familiar with this thing. It belongs to another direction of magic construction theory. The author's in-depth research on ether theory is really admirable. I am far inferior to it, and I can conclude that it will not be possible in Questak.
If there is a second person who can have the same attainments in this field, I think it will probably be useless for you to find someone else."
"What should we do?"
Fang Yu couldn't help but be dumbfounded after hearing this.
Because he was so engrossed in the discussion, he even temporarily forgot what he was here for.
With the help of cognitive experience, he has actually learned a lot of 'celestial knowledge' these days, and his level is about to reach level 26. But he encountered difficulties when learning this 'star-shaped network'.
At the beginning, it felt a bit like hearing a book from heaven. Either I couldn't understand it a little bit, or I couldn't understand it at all.
Burrard thought for a moment before replying: "The former president of the Questack Craftsmen Association, Master Mayotte, is a master in this field."
Fang Yu quickly asked: "Then where is he?"
After hearing Fang Plover's question, Aleph couldn't help but replied helplessly: "Master Mayotte passed away three years ago."
"???"
Fang Yu looked at the two of them in confusion, thinking that in this case, why are you bringing this up, are you playing with me?
Burrard said: "The master left some books before his death, which should be kept in the Royal Library at the moment. You may be able to go there to find the answer."
When Fang Yu heard this, he almost stood still. He almost thought that he had heard wrong. He couldn't help but subconsciously asked: "What library?"
"The Royal Library," Borod glanced at His Royal Highness the Prince and said, "Just let him take you in."
Aleph patted his chest and confirmed.
"No problem, Ed, I'll take care of it."
Fang Yu looked at these two people and couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. What does it mean to find no place after wearing iron shoes? It takes no effort to get there, and this is what is happening in front of you?
