When Fang Lu and Aleph entered the side hall, they unexpectedly found an "acquaintance" waiting for him here.
The blond noble girl was wearing a traditional Istanian robe with gold patterns and a red background. She was looking at him coldly, but unlike when she was in Bein, now the earl's daughter had her hair tied up, looking more...
She was much more mature then. Ravalli said nothing, looked at him and Aleph, and then stretched out her hand to stop them.
The moment Fang Yu saw the earl's daughter, he subconsciously wanted to turn around - but the two knights of sand at the gate behind him were looking motionlessly in this direction. Even if he walked away, he might not be able to leave.
Lavalli raised the corner of her mouth and sneered: "We meet again, Mr. Great Alchemist."
Aleph was slightly startled when he saw this. He looked at Lavalie and then at Fang Pliance. He obviously knew the earl's daughter, so he couldn't help but ask: "Lavalie, what are you doing here? Do you know Ed?"
"
But Ravali only glanced at Aleph, and then returned to Fang Plover, looking at him intently. "You are so brave, you dare to come to this place, I guess you must be here for the princess.
Come on, you are really loyal. But after all, you are the Dragon Alchemist of Elfendor, so it is understandable."
It is not difficult to hear the cynicism in the girl's melodious voice.
Fang Plover froze.
The other party recognized him.
But what he should have thought of earlier was that he thought that his reputation in Vanric had not spread to Istania, not to mention that the Istanian nobles did not care much about the Kingdom of Kaolin in the north.
Hasn't it only been two or three months? Where is the aloofness of the people in the desert that we promised?
Still careless.
But Aleph didn't react for a while, and asked confusedly: "Lavali, what are you talking about, what is the Dragon Alchemist?"
Lavalli looked indifferent and made a gesture towards Fang Plover.
"Of course it's the great hero behind you. You can ask him about his identity. Is he the Dragon Alchemist who 'saved' Vanric?"
Her emerald-like eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with a dangerous light, and she chuckled: "I don't know whether I should say you are brave and fearless, or stupid, Great Alchemist, you don't think no one recognized you back then.
Well, you actually dare to come to see His Majesty the King of Sand?"
Fang Yu froze in place, but quickly calmed down.
It was because he didn't have the chance to think about so many things at the beginning - after all, from being captured by the mystic to holding the earl's daughter hostage, everything happened suddenly, so how could he think about everything? He was able to escape from Bein in one piece.
, it was actually a fluke, and in retrospect the plan, which looked like a sieve, actually seemed perfect at the time.
Besides, it is useless to pursue this matter now.
In fact, it was not so much that he regretted his original negligence as that he did not expect to see the earl's daughter here.
After all, the other party was still in Bein a few weeks ago, but just after the dust storm, he had already appeared in Questac to participate in the celebration. This girl is the apple of Numan's eye. It seems that since she has arrived in Bein, then the Earl
Naturally, it won't be far away. The fact that the other party would return to the royal capital at this time was indeed beyond his expectation.
He thought that the other party would continue to search Bein for a while. Even if someone returned to the royal capital, it would be the mystic and not the father and daughter. Since they appeared here at this time, it means that they should have almost set off with him. Could it be
I was actually wrong. They actually didn't care much about Afifah?
He remained silent for a while without speaking.
Aleph seemed to have reacted just now, and turned around and glanced at Fang Pulun in surprise: "Dragon Alchemist, is this your title, Ed?" This question left Fang Pulun speechless for a while, and he wanted to say something about himself.
It's not Ed, it's Char, but that name has been abandoned a long time ago. What's more, after thinking about it - since the other party already knows his identity, how can he not know his name?
Now is obviously not the time to dwell on this——
Aleph looked at the count's daughter again: "Lavalie, do you know her?"
"More than just acquaintance," Ravalli gritted her teeth, but she glanced at Fang Yu coldly and changed her words: "Aleph, if I were you, I would take this person away immediately."
Aleph and Fang Plover were startled at the same time.
Fang Yu couldn't help but raise his head and looked at the other party in surprise.
Aleph was even more confused. "What are you talking about, Lavalli? Ed is the one whom Father wants to see by name. Why should I take him away?"
He seemed to have realized something again, looked at the girl and said: "Lavalie, if Ed has offended you, I will apologize to you on his behalf. But in this situation, you should get out of the way first. After all, if the father is to blame,
I don’t want to implicate you.”
Lavalli only looked at Fang Plover without raising her eyelids, and said calmly: "Don't you say something, great alchemist?"
Fang Yu was looking at the earl's daughter in surprise, although she didn't quite understand why the other party said that - because as long as the earl's daughter shouted, guards would naturally come up to stop her. At that time, she and the earl would,
If you go to confront him in front of the King of Sand, you will probably be doomed.
However, the other party seemed to have other intentions. He didn't dare to think too much at the moment, but this seemed to be the only chance to escape from this predicament. He understood Lavalli's meaning very well. When he saw the King of Sand, he was probably going to implicate her.
Loew's. Fang Yu looked at the two of them and didn't know if the earl's daughter let him go because of this relationship.
Does she have such a good relationship with Aleph?
After all, he was the one who kidnapped her, so there was nothing to reminisce between the gangsters and the hostages. The other party's previous cynicism towards him was considered lighthearted in his opinion. It's not a double standard for Fang Yu, it's just that someone wants to treat Nanami like this.
If someone from the brigade takes action, he doesn't care what the other person's reasons are, he will arrest them first.
He pondered for a moment, and now he had to explain it to Aleph immediately without attracting other people's attention, so that he could escape.
But just as he was about to speak, a voice came from behind LaVallee: "LaVallee, what are you doing?"
That was the voice of a middle-aged man.
Fang Yu heard it clearly, after all, it was only a week or two ago - that was Count Nuerman's voice.
He couldn't help but stiffen, and the face of the earl's daughter in front of him also changed, and he immediately lowered his voice and said to Aleph: "Aleph, if you don't want to get into trouble, take him away immediately."
She said this categorically, and Aleph couldn't help but hesitate even though he could no longer understand the situation. He turned around and was about to ask Fang Plover for his opinion, but at this moment, someone came with the sound, and he couldn't help but hesitate.
A figure flashed at the exit of the hall in the distance. Governor Bein's tall figure had already appeared at that place.
He looked at his daughter with a serious face and said, "Your Majesty wants to see his guests. He has urged you several times. Lavalli, what are you delaying?"
In formal occasions, Lavalli did not dare to contradict her father. She only lowered her head and said, "I am talking to His Highness."
"There will be plenty of time after the celebration," Count Nurman shook his head: "Let His Highness Aleph take His Majesty's guests over first."
Fang Yu lowered his head and was so nervous that sweat appeared on his forehead. He stared at the floor intently, as if there was really something interesting to see there.
But it's just a blank marble floor.
Nuerman glanced at Fang Plover casually, but seemed not to recognize him. Without saying anything, he turned around and walked silently towards the hall.
The three people here were silent for a while.
Aleph finally noticed the abnormality and looked at Fang Plover and then at Lavalli. "Ed, is there any trouble... How about I find an excuse? After all, my father is just acting on a whim...
…Maybe I don’t really want to see you.”
But this time Ravali stopped him, shook her head and said: "Aleph, you heard what my father just said. If you let him go now, are you going to lie to the King of Sand face to face? You know my father's
As a human being, he will definitely point it out, and His Majesty will not make it easy for you. And do you think he can leave now if you let him go?"
"But……"
"She's right, Aleph," Fang Plover sighed. As soon as Numan spoke, he understood that he had missed the opportunity to escape. Although he didn't quite understand that the other party was pretending not to recognize him.
, but he knew very well that as soon as he turned around, there might be guards rushing in from outside the door.
"Since your father wants to see me, please take me there."
"Ed, have you met my father?"
Fang Yu shook his head.
Aleph looked at LaVallee who was standing aside. "Then you have a problem with Count Nurman?"
Fang Plover had a toothache: "So..."
"Ed, my friend, I'm sorry, I really didn't know..."
"It doesn't matter."
Fang Yu shook his head. To be honest, this prince was actually willing to help him make excuses for a stranger, even when facing the King of Sand, which made him feel a little bit. He knew that as soon as he left,
The other party will most likely be unlucky because of this. And if the other party is willing to go out of his way to save his friend, why should he be afraid?
He also figured it out.
Afifa's whereabouts should still be unknown, which is a bargaining chip for him. The earl did not break up with him, presumably for this reason.
After Fang Yu calmed down, he was no longer as panicked as he was at the beginning.
Besides, can Babartan, the King of Sand, be more terrifying than the Dark Dragon?
He didn't say much and took the initiative to move forward.
Seeing his action, Lavalli couldn't help but be slightly startled, and glanced at him with some surprise. However, the earl's daughter didn't say much. Only when Fang Plover passed her, she gritted her teeth and whispered.
He said: "I will remember your offense, Mr. Great Alchemist, and I will settle it with you next time when I have the opportunity."
She didn't even let Aleph hear this whisper.
Fang Yu glanced at the earl's daughter and had nothing to say. Although there was a reason for the incident, she was indeed unintentionally affected by the incident. The one who attacked him was a mystic.
Wang Babaltan has nothing to do with the earl's daughter, so it is completely reasonable for her to say so.
However, Fang Yu always had a feeling that if he sold Miss Naturalist, the noble daughter might immediately reconcile with them - of course, he only thought about this idea.
Aleph naturally did not hear the conversation between the two——
He also whispered to Fang Quan that Governor Bein might not really want to cause trouble for him, and that he would definitely act as a mediator for them in front of his father if he had the opportunity.
Fang Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this, and even acted as a mediator - I hope Babartan, the King of Sand, wouldn't get so angry that he would just pull him out and chop him down. Although he had a certain calculation in his mind, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Who could
Knowing what the Sand King Babartan is like, what if the other party just wants to kill him to vent his anger?
This is not completely impossible.
Governor Bein walked in front without saying a word, which made people wonder what he was thinking. Fang Yu felt a little depressed and thought it would be better to pronounce the verdict directly to save himself from being uneasy. Sometimes bad news is not so disturbing.
I feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles, but the seeming lack of hope makes me even more desperate.
Before entering the hall, Fang Plover heard faint comments coming from inside, but as soon as he entered the hall, the sounds around him suddenly stopped. In the magnificent hall, one after another looked in this direction.
That gaze was naturally mixed with a lot of curiosity, doubt and scrutiny.
After all, the King of Sand Babartan had previously ordered his eldest son to come forward, and everyone present could clearly hear what he said. On the one hand, they were naturally secretly trying to figure out the meaning of the king's words, and on the other hand, they had already told His Royal Highness the eldest son.
This 'friend' was filled with deep curiosity, and at this moment almost everyone's eyes in the entire hall were focused on him.
In the silence, Fang Plover felt as if it was as long as a century - although there was only a short distance from the entrance of the side hall to the center of the hall - in front of the throne of the Sand King.
It was obviously only about ten steps, but he seemed to be walking on a soldering iron.
However, there have been rumors about Cassandra Palace for a long time.
Fang Yu was also curious about this forbidden palace that was difficult for people without a certain identity to set foot in. Even in such a situation, he couldn't help but raise his head and take a look - the Kashan Palace was distributed vertically, with long corridors on both sides.
The rows are arranged on the left and right of the hall, extending all the way to the front. The golden carpet there has been submerged into the night in front. Directly in front of the palace, it leads to the moon-white high platform.
The high platform was built in the center of the lake, facing the square where the celebration was held.
As soon as Fang Plover raised his head, he happened to see the king in the center of the hall.
The other party's indifferent gaze was also sweeping in his direction. The gaze was calm, but it involuntarily made people's hearts tremble.
Fang Plover almost had a cold war before he realized who he was seeing - it was the owner of this land, the supreme leader of the Istanians, the current number one member of the Penelope royal family, and the leader of the Sand Sea.
King, Babartan ibn Hekaria Penelope. Somehow, he almost thought he saw an eagle at the first time.
An eagle soaring in the desert is patrolling its own territory with its sharp gaze. The king's gaze is extremely indifferent, but it is impossible to ignore, as if it is natural that he should belong to this land by birth.
The Supreme above.
The other party had an old-fashioned magic furnace on hand.
Needless to say, it was the one he had repaired with his own hands.
Fang Yu lowered his head slightly, not because he didn't dare to look at her, but because he subconsciously felt guilty.
After Count Nurman entered the queue, he did not look in this direction again. He looked away, as if it had nothing to do with him. As for what happened in Bein a few weeks ago, it seemed that the governor had completely forgotten it.
It was as if he was clean. If Lavalie hadn't been standing next to the Earl, he might have actually believed it.
But right now, the plover will inevitably have random thoughts. What is the other party’s purpose? It seems that Afifa’s matter and the Bein Fortress matter can’t be discussed in public, right? Unless the King of Sand intends to make it public.
Regarding the relationship between himself and the blind follower, Fang Yu believed that he was not qualified yet, so he asked the Supreme of the Sand Sea to self-destruct with him.
But at least he knew the other person's secret... which made him feel a little more at ease.
But Babartan didn't seem to care about this at all.
He gently held the magic furnace with one hand, and at the same time he raised his head and looked at Fang Plover. He was silent for a while, and then slowly said:
"Aleph, tell me, you repaired this magic furnace?"
Fang Plover was almost stunned.
He thought about a thousand possibilities, but he didn't expect that the other party would speak like this, which almost made his initial preparations come to nothing. He was stunned for a moment before he realized what the other party was asking, and he couldn't help but open his mouth -
-For a moment, he didn't know how to answer. There was a chuckle in the hall. Babartan looked in that direction, and the hall immediately became quiet as before.
Fang Yu finally reacted and nodded:
"yes."
"I like this gift very much, and I would like to thank you for helping Aleph -"
Aleph was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but feel happy.
Fang Plover was also stunned, but stared blankly at the King of Istania.
What is the other party doing?
Babartan turned around, looked at the magic furnace at hand with a reminiscence look, and said in a gentle tone:
"Young man, do you know what kind of magic furnace this is?"
Fang Yu was silent for a moment.
"Tower magic furnace."
But Babartan shook his head: "Not entirely right."
Fang Yu frowned slightly and said subconsciously: "This is the last type of tower magic furnace of Kingfisher Workshop. The tower magic furnace has flourished in the Oshu Empire for a long time, but in Kaolin-Isuli
Ann is not that popular, so it is still rare, and its model is..."
Babartan looked at him and asked: "What is the model?"
"'Kingfisher Feather'—377, Type A."
"'Kingfisher Feather'—377, Type A."
A rare smile appeared on the face of this king.
He nodded and affirmed: "I remember correctly, that's exactly the name."
He looked at Fang Plover again, frowned and said: "Young man, you did me a small favor. When we watch the ceremony later, you will stand next to Aleph. As for other secular things, Aleph obviously doesn't care either.
- and he has always been generous to his friends, and he will not be stingy with your reward, so I will not bother you any more."
As soon as Babartan said this, a low voice immediately sounded in the hall.
Fang Yu still didn't understand what the other party meant, but from the looks of others, it was clear that the Sand King said something outrageous.
He couldn't help but look at Aleph, who was also looking at him in shock. On the other side, Lavalie also looked confused. Only Count Nuerman beside her remained calm-faced.
He looked calmly ahead, as if everything in the hall had nothing to do with him.
"Ed..."
But Aleph said in a daze: "My father asked you to be the first to receive the blessing later..."
