Tang Xin still remembers that evening many, many years ago.
That day the sunset shone like blood from outside the corridor, and there were the sounds of several children playing around outside.
And she was looking at the little boy standing in front of her with some curiosity. The latter was silently holding his mother's hand and only looking at herself with dark eyes.
"Tangtang, Little Plover will be your brother from now on..."
"Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang had an accident. They went far away and couldn't come back..."
"You guys get along well and don't bully the little plovers..."
…
Tang Xin recalled the situation at that time and couldn't help but curl her lips slightly:
It was actually pretty cute back then.
She was sitting in front of the desk, holding a quill in her hand, a backward writing tool that she was not used to for a while, but after a few months, she was finally able to write as proficiently as the locals. But she had maintained this posture at the moment.
For quite some time, I just stared at the pages in front of me in a daze.
Ai Xiaoxiao looked at this scene with some curiosity. At the signal of Miss Nightingale, she waved her hand in front of her friend and said in a long voice: "Tangtang"
Tang Xin was startled for a moment, then she realized what she was doing and looked at the latter in surprise.
"You made a mistake again in yesterday's expense report," Ai Xiaoxiao stood next to Alyssa, who smiled and said, "There is an extra person written here, and you didn't notice it."
Tang Xin couldn't help but blush a little, and looked there, thinking that she was probably too worried about her cousin these days. Although sometimes she felt that the pigeon was gone, but this time it had been missing for such a long time, he would go
Where is it? Although my cousin is a bit unreliable, he will not disappear silently for a month.
By the way, except for the last time she smuggled herself to this place. When she thought of the other party's bold behavior, she couldn't help but get angry. Since she was a child, this was the first time that the other party did not discuss such a big matter with her.
.made her teeth itch.
While she was thinking about it, she became distracted again.
At this moment, the door was knocked open with a bang.
Tianlan appeared there out of breath, looked at them, and stammered:
"Ai, Brother Ed is back!"
Tang Xinhuo suddenly stood up from his seat.
Alyssa also looked in that direction and asked: "The leader is back, where is he?"
"In, in the hall outside."
Tang Xin couldn't listen to the rest of the words and rushed out of the door. But just as she walked out, she felt a hand on her shoulder.
Tang Xin was slightly startled, and when she looked back, she found that the sky was blue, Ai Xiaoxiao and Alyssa were no longer there, and there was only darkness all around. The person who put his hand on her shoulder was none other than Fang Plover, but the latter had an expression on his face at the moment.
It was blood, and there was a sharp knife stuck in his heart. Blood gurgled from his mouth and eyes, and he opened and closed his mouth, but he couldn't make any sound.
Tang Xin was shocked and opened her eyes suddenly.
…
is a dream
A cold hand was placed on her forehead, and she knew the owner of that hand. She was the noble lady. Sylvide was looking down at her, with a calm light shining in her eyes the color of the shallow sea.
Tang Xin was startled for a moment, then she felt herself break out in a cold sweat. She looked around in confusion, she was still in that familiar room. Is the desk not far away? There were documents, ink pens and
The quill remained intact, and she was sitting in the same place before... No, she shook her head slightly, and then she felt a sense of powerlessness welling up in her heart.
It's a dream
"Having a nightmare?"
Sylvester's voice seemed to have a calming power.
Tang Xin stared at the other person in a daze. Normally, she would never let the other person come so close to her. But at this moment, she was lying motionless on the bed, with no strength left in her body. Her heart was pounding, as if she hadn't stopped yet.
I came back to my senses from the previous dream.
"Why didn't you tell others that you were sick?" Sylvide asked quietly, "Are you worried about Ed... The recording can actually be left to me and Tianlan."
She paused and looked into Tang Xin's eyes, as if she could see through the other person's thoughts.
"Nothing to do with you."
Tang Xin said in a hoarse voice.
She didn't know why, but she felt so angry just looking at this woman.
Although the other person is indeed excellent and worthy of his cousin, or rather, that pigeon doesn't know what kind of good luck it has to be able to have such a girlfriend. If it were on earth, it would be absolutely impossible.
But when she thought about it, she was filled with an indescribable feeling.
I'm happy, but also a little sad
But Sylvide only looked at her quietly, the edges of her eyes reflecting the sunlight flowing quietly in the afternoon. As if the noble girl had not heard those words, she spoke softly: "Aether disease, Jita also suffered from the disease half a year ago.
You can get by, because you are not used to the ether yet...most of you will experience it once or twice."
"Actually, there is no need to worry too much. If the symptoms are mild, they are just like the colds in your world, and you will get better in a few days."
"But if you leave it alone, it will become serious."
Sylvide gently withdrew her hand.
Tang Xin was quiet for a moment, and the anxiety from the previous nightmare came back again, and she suddenly asked: "Where is my brother?"
"Ed also had it," Sylvide smiled softly: "We went from Elpaxin to Fenris. He fell ill on the ship, which was much worse than you are now. It all depended on Princess Brianne.
of black goat milk.”
Tang Xin couldn't help but smile when she thought of her cousin's unlucky look. It was a pity that she wasn't there at the time, otherwise she wouldn't have known how interesting it would have been. And that was what made her angry. In the past, no matter what happened, the pigeon would always talk to him first.
She wondered if she didn't know what he was thinking and would she stop him?
But after thinking about it for a moment, she felt like she could really do it.
After all, no normal person would come up with such a shocking idea.
"You just met each other not long ago, right?"
"Well," Sylvide nodded slightly: "The first time I met Ed was at Traveler's Rest. He was silly at the time, but he was particularly attractive."
Tang Xin sneered, thinking that the pigeon was indeed like that.
"That's the kind of person he is."
"But why did Miss Silverd fall in love with him?"
Sylvester smiled and looked at the girl with enchanting eyes.
Tang Xin also stared at her.
"So it's this kind of innocence that Miss Sylvide likes, right?"
But the noble daughter asked: "Isn't simplicity a beautiful quality?"
Tang Xin sighed and asked:
"But, does Miss Sylvide really like my cousin..."
"do you like it……"
The noble daughter thought for a moment, shook her head first, and then nodded.
"In the beginning, I couldn't actually say..."
She replied quietly: "Perhaps it is better to say that it is admiration. It is precisely because of admiration for such integrity and courage that one cannot do it himself, so one is attracted to it... Mr. Ed is the most qualified person I have ever seen, and
purely……"
"I didn't think too much about it, but Ed gave me the most help when I was at my most hesitant and uneasy. The Albert family keeps their word. It should be said that everything today is something I approve of, even willingly."
Tang Xin listened to this quietly.
She was a little surprised. To be honest, she didn't expect that the noble daughter would say this to her. She thought that the other party would at least find an excuse instead of pouring out her heart like this.
And she opened her mouth: "Miss Sylvide, this is not a liking..."
Sylvester smiled, tilted her head and said, "Isn't it mutual attraction if we like each other?"
"Yes, but..."
Although Tang Xin has always scorned the so-called oath of love among boys and girls of the same age, she also knows in her heart that liking each other is not a 'promise' or an 'obligation'.
But Sylvester looked at her and only smiled slightly: "My background is a little different from yours. Everything I have now is actually very precious in my opinion."
"Because I am at least a little luckier than other girls of the same background. I can freely choose my future path, even if it is full of thorns, I am happy with it. Before I met him, I never thought that I would be so lucky.
My captain may not be perfect, but he is unique to me."
"exactly."
Sylvide ended with a firm tone.
Tang Xin was stunned for a moment.
Is my nerdy cousin so good?
She was in a daze when suddenly the door to the room was pushed open with a bang.
Tian Lan once again appeared out of breath, looking at them, and stammered:
"Ai, Brother Ed is back!"
Tang Xin immediately looked at Sylvester who was standing aside, and then at Tian Lan.
Wait a minute, is this a dream again?
…,
When Fang Yu and Erna walked into the lobby on the first floor of the apartment together, they happened to see Tianlan coming down the stairs with a milk bottle in one hand and bread in the other, yawning.
However, her yawning movement stopped the moment she saw Fang Plover. Her eyes were round and round, her open mouth could no longer be closed, and the bottle in her hand fell to the floor with a clang, and rolled away far away.
Tianlan rubbed her eyes vigorously to make sure that she had not seen wrongly, and then she shouted in surprise: "Ai, brother Ed?"
Fang Yu looked at the girl's round and cute face, couldn't help but smile, and nodded lightly. Yes, he is back.
Tianlan said "Ah" and said hurriedly: "I'll notify the others."
Before Fang Yu could say anything, she turned around and walked back quickly, and a high-pitched cry soon came from upstairs:
"Brother Ed is back!"
"The leader is back!"
Fang Yu watched the other party disappear in a flash, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly. He planned to ask other people.
He then looked at Erna on one side. Erna was a little surprised and said curiously: "You have a high prestige among them. I have seen many teams of Holy Chosen Ones, but rarely like this."
"Has Ms. Erna seen other teams?"
Fang Plover is still a little curious about other teams. He has seen the Jeffrit Red Team, the Silver Forest Spears and the Oak Knights, but has not learned about them in depth. Above the community, there are also brigades from major guilds.
There won't be too detailed information. He only has some experience behind closed doors on how to build an adventure group.
"Of course I have seen it," Erna said angrily: "How do you say it? Tansnir is not a small place. Although it is only a branch, it is also very important in Istania. We will also take over from outside.
Commission, I have seen many teams of Holy Chosen Ones, there are at least three or four this year."
Three or four is a lot?
Fang Yu was cautious and didn't dare to say anything more. He only cursed a little in his heart.
But Tansnir is not a small place, and the crafts association there is not big by any means. Otherwise, it would not be the turn of Erna, a 'newcomer', to be the president. Of course, for such a thing, our djinn lady
She would never admit it. She first expressed the importance of the Tansnir Craftsmen Association, and then said:
"In fact, just a month ago, I saw a team called 'Abyss of Light'. The name you Holy Chosen One chose is really weird. Compared with it, the Seven Seas Brigade is quite satisfactory."
Before the others came down, Fang Pliong talked with the lady about the team of Holy Chosen Ones.
However, when talking about the "Abyss of Light" team, Fang Plover learned something from Elna that made him a little concerned. In the description of the president, this team seemed to be
When looking for someone, look for someone in the Alchemist Guild instead of going to the Adventurer's Guild. Naturally, the target you are looking for is also an alchemist.
"That's actually not from the guild."
Erna thought for a moment and continued:
"He's a court alchemist."
"But I checked, and it turns out that he is indeed registered with the Tansnir Artisans Association. But it seems that this person committed something later and has been expelled from the guild. He should be imprisoned somewhere at the moment."
"Where is it?" Fang Yu couldn't help but ask.
"If I remember correctly, the last place to register was Bein."
Erna supported her chin with her fingers and thought for a while: "But Bein only has a temporary prison for holding prisoners, and it should have been moved to other places later."
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. When Fang Yu heard the place name 'Bein', his heart couldn't help but thought of a person subconsciously. Only then did he remember that the name 'Abyss of Light' didn't seem to be...
What mass goods? He had heard this name before. It was an elite brigade within the Southern Alliance.
And the level is quite high. It should be the team that Ye Hua built before he became the Ten Kings.
At that moment, it was like a mysterious thread connecting them together in his mind.
Are the people from the Southern Alliance investigating the alchemist?
Why?
By the way, Great Master Ye Hua was indeed in Bein Fortress at that time.
But listening to the conversation between the other party and the middle-aged mystic, it seems that they are in alliance with Count Numan. What is going on?
Thinking of Count Nurman and the King of Sand's attitude towards him not long ago, he always felt that the situation here had become more complicated and confusing. The mysterious alchemist imprisoned in the dungeon was once again involved with the Southern Alliance, and
The Southern Alliance seems to be related to the Sand King's side again.
What exactly are their plans?
At one time, the square plover had two heads.
It would be great if the communication contact was not interrupted. He could directly contact Master Ye Hua and ask him. If he helped him in Du Lun, the Ranger King would more or less reveal some information to him, right?
…
Not long after Tianlan went aboard, Fang Pliance saw his ship officer lady again.
But he didn't expect that the news he got from the other party first was that his cousin was sick.
Tang Xin fell ill not long after he disappeared. Although there were some coincidences, Fang Yu could probably guess that there were more or less reasons of his own. This made him a little uneasy about how his uncle and aunt treated him as if they were their own.
He came out, and Tang Xin was like his biological sister. Although they often had some disputes, the two grew up together and their relationship has always been good.
Besides, how can a brother not protect his sister?
Fortunately, Sylvide also told him that it was just an ether disease.
Fang Plover breathed a sigh of relief. Aether disease can actually be said to be another way of saying 'unacclimatized', but it is unique to Aitalia. He got sick last time on Princess Brianne's ship.
I almost couldn't get out of bed, that's serious.
Tang Xin is not as serious as him. Her cousin's physical fitness and facial features have always been much better than his.
However, he still took Sylvide and hurriedly went to see his cousin.
In the room, Ai Xiaoxiao was a little surprised to see him. He called him "big cousin, big cousin" a few times, but it was better to say it was for fun.
Alyssa and Parker are not here. I heard that they have gone out. Just like him, everyone has been searching for his whereabouts these days. It’s just that Questac is too big and the two sides missed each other, and even if he is the daughter of a noble,
Unexpectedly, he was actually in this city.
Tianlan asked about Luo Yu. After hearing that the latter also escaped from Bein Fortress, this heartless little girl assumed that the latter did not exist. Or to put it another way, she had great confidence in Luo Yu.
.
But when I met my cousin, the situation was a bit strange.
Because Tang Xin seemed to be sulky with him and ignored him.
It wasn't his fault that Fang Piao was speechless for a moment and disappeared. He didn't want to disappear for no reason, and it took a lot of effort to escape from Bein Fortress, and he almost offended the King of Sand. If it weren't for the other party
His attitude was unclear. If he hadn't been operated on during the celebration, everyone could have gone to the square to collect his body at this moment.
Or go to the temple
Fang Plover couldn't help but look at Sylvide who was standing aside.
The noble lady pursed her lips and smiled, her crescent eyes looked like crescent moons, and she did not answer.
However, she quietly pulled him aside, raised her head, and looked at him with tender eyes for a long time. Then the ship officer lady gently stood on tiptoes. The next moment, Fang Plover only felt that she was
His cheeks froze slightly, and he couldn't help but look at Sylvester in surprise.
