"Afifa, this name... can be regarded as the name of the princess before she married into Penelope's royal family. Women in Istania often have two names before and after they get married. One belongs to their own family, and the other belongs to their husband.
family."
"And the King of Sand gave this name to his second daughter in memory of his wife."
For a time, many thoughts floated up and down in Fang Yu's mind, and they were like fragments of a picture.
He seemed to have caught the only flash of light among the thousands of clues, and an idea suddenly emerged in his heart. He took a step forward, opened his mouth and asked: "Why are you telling me this...?"
The middle-aged man was standing in front of a door. He lifted the door curtain with his hand and motioned for Fang Plover to walk in. Fang Plover was slightly startled and tentatively looked inside, but the light outside was bright and there was a dark hole behind the door. He hesitated.
For a moment, I finally couldn't help my curiosity and stepped into it.
After his pupils gradually adapted to the change in light, he could clearly see the environment in the room, or rather, the people in front of him. "We met again. Last time you invited me to drink, this time I will invite you to drink the same drink.
Bar." The man smiled slightly, showing his white teeth: "The blood wine in the desert is mellow and intoxicating."
"Is it you... Delan?"
"It's me, let's get to know each other again, Derlan-Ig-Elmoiben," the man said with a smile: "A little-known court sorcerer."
The sparkle in his eyes was no longer as depressed as it was when he was in prison.
Shining brightly in the dark environment.
…
In the Cassian Palace, Princess Rupert listened silently to Papalar's story.
"So you're Parker and you're Ms. Papamo, can you show me your belt?"
"This damn belt," Parker cursed sharply, then lifted up his robe to reveal the belt, "That's it. If you don't believe it, I can take it off."
"No need."
Her Royal Highness the Princess stopped his movement.
She took two steps back and forth in the palace, thinking about what the dwarf had said before. Then she looked back, looked at the Papalar with a heavy look, and asked: "What did you say?"
I will treat it as true. But before that, I would like to see Mr. Ed, is that okay?"
Parker was stunned.
"What's wrong?"
"Well...the leader didn't tell me, what should I do next?"
"Then you go and inform him?"
"He asked me to stay by your side and keep you safe."
"My safety?" The princess was slightly startled, and worry appeared on her brows again, but she quickly calmed down: "Okay, I understand, you stay here."
"how?"
Princess Rupert replied softly: "Since he asked you to stay here, he will definitely come to see me soon."
…
"Ten years ago, I was an ordinary court alchemist in the Penelope royal family. Of course, I was born in the Aimeiben family, which gave me more opportunities for promotion. Just like an elder brother who trusted me, Sha
King Babartan also trusts me like a brother."
"I was assigned to be responsible for the princess and became her guardian knight. There were seven other people with me, but they all died together in that disaster. Only me, because I was just an ordinary person.
The alchemist was lucky enough to survive."
"In the past ten years, I have never given up investigating the truth of that incident. In order to protect me, my brother detained me in that place. In fact, few of the participants in that incident probably knew that I was still there.
I am alive only because of their blessing, and I have never left the dark underground."
"My name is Delan-Igue-Elmoiben, and I can be regarded as the uncle of that little girl Ravalli. This is my story," the man said with a carefree smile: "Young man, many people think that the attack on the princess was a revenge.
, is revenge against Penelope’s royal family. But things are not that simple. Everything is not only because of the notebook, but also starts from the Garden of Fantasy."
"The Garden of Fantasy?"
Delan took out a handful of crystal shards from his arms and placed them on the table.
The fragments, like broken glass, emitted a faint light in the darkness.
Fang Yu recognized their identities at a glance: "Are these fragments of the Emerald Star?"
De'an and the middle-aged man did not speak. Since they had already known what happened on the 'Daoud', they were not too surprised that Fang Plover recognized the Emerald Star at this moment.
"The secrets of the holy objects are recorded on the stone tablet, including their origins." After a while, the latter replied: "The four holy objects are all made by elves, including the Sea Forest Crown, the Holy Sword of Morning Light, the Hand of Truth and
Eternal emblem. Although there is indeed the power of the gods in it. The God of Chongshan injected divine power into the Sea Forest Crown and the Holy Sword of Morning Light. The hand of truth is protected by Angina. The eternal emblem is the promised thing of Aimea, but their
The forgers are indeed masters of the Numerin elves."
"According to legend, there is a special power within the holy object, called the Glory of the Blue, the power of creation. This power is more like a more essential star radiance. It is even one level higher than divine power, and
This is the reason why the Four Holy Objects are rare in the world."
"Because it is a higher level than divine power, this power naturally does not come from the three Orin gods. Where do you think they come from?"
When Fang Yu heard the three words "Cang Zhihui", he was agitated. He almost thought that he had exposed something unintentionally. But looking at the expressions of De Lan and the middle-aged man in front of him, he realized that it was not unintentional.
The news was leaked between them, but the two of them knew this from the beginning.
He couldn't help but concentrate, but when he heard this question, he still couldn't help but shook his head. Even Karatu and Tang De didn't know the exact origin of the 'Glory of the Blue', so how could he know it?
But he couldn't help but look at the two of them more curiously. When the other party said this, did he mean that they knew this?
Delan's eyes looked at the fragments on the table that shone with faint light, and that gaze seemed to explain everything.
"Emerald Star...?"
Fang Yu was shocked. No wonder he felt that the dim light of the Emerald Star was somewhat familiar.
But what is that faint feeling of rejection?
Because forces of the same nature repel each other?
But what exactly are the Emerald Stars? Not only did the alchemists use them to create artificial dragon souls, but why do they contain a level of power similar to Cang Zhihui?
"They are called Emerald Stars," the middle-aged man suddenly said: "They suddenly appeared seven centuries ago, but there was no record of them in previous history. The elves used them to cast the gems on the Sea Forest Crown.
The blade of the Holy Sword of Morning Light, the core crystal of the Hand of Truth and the backbone of the Eternal Emblem.”
"Almost all the brilliance of the four holy objects comes from them," he turned around and asked lightly: "Do you know why?"
Why?
"Think about it carefully," Delan said: "Why is it called the Green Star? How did the elves get it?"
Fang Plover was suddenly startled slightly.
A shocking thought flashed through his mind.
Not only him, but also Luo Yu behind him was stunned for a moment. Except for the box, the two people said the name almost at the same time with a dry voice.
Bad luck, green.
The source of the Dark Dragon's power.
Nicol Bolas's desire and fear for the Blue Light were like a bolt of lightning that cut through the darkness of Fang Plover's heart.
…
"When the Bane Star fell into the world, it was divided into four parts. Most of them sank into the abyss together with Aesorin."
"But there is still a fragment that fell deep into the desert of Istania. Its power created an illusion there. This is the origin of the illusion sea."
Delan narrated: "The princess's family discovered that place a long time ago, regarded it as a treasure house, and has been guarding its secrets."
"The information on the stone tablet tells us that it is not the holy object itself, but the power of the radiance of the blue contained in the holy object, that is the key to the third world. And the princess and your majesty have already agreed that there is
One day we must unlock the secrets of the third world. There are no holy objects in Istania, but the fragments in the phantom sea are the key to everything."
"In order to realize that dream, the princess promised her family's secrets to the current King of Sand, her lover. Since then, the Garden of Fantasy has been shared by the royal family and the princess's family, but this has not separated the two.
The family relationship has become even closer because of the death of the princess."
"So do you understand, young man?"
"This is an agreement between a king and his lover. The emerald star in the illusory sea is his last support."
"...The blind followers also covet the huge fragment of the Emerald Star, and hope to use it to create a monster more powerful than the demigod Mephistopheles, as the body of the blind god Deska to return to the world."
"And your Majesty, he naturally knows this very well. He will use the last treasure left to him by his beloved woman to bring every black hand behind the shadows to the stage. That is his final battle. He
It has allowed the land of Istania to live peacefully for ten years, and successfully passed the throne to a qualified heir."
"Now, he has to clear away the darkness hidden in this land and strive for a longer-term future for his successor and this ancient kingdom."
"This desert country may eventually disappear, but at least not now, not now. This is his promise to the people he loves, and it is the fulfillment of his promise."
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He didn't expect that the truth was actually like this.
"Then Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"Your Majesty does not want his children to be involved in this matter. You have fought against the believers of darkness, so you should know what kind of people they are, right?"
"The King of Sand is so naive," Fang Yu shook his head: "Some things can just come true if you don't want to. I haven't had much dealings with blind followers, but judging from the followers of the Dark Dragon, these people should
He is a type of person who wants to limit things to a sea of illusions and solve them all, but is afraid that the facts may not be as he wishes."
He couldn't help but subconsciously think of the traitor among them that the eldest princess had mentioned more than once.
Who leaked the news in Tansnier?
If that spy wasn't an informant of the Sand King Babartan.
So where does he belong?
There may not be many answers to choose from.
Delan and the middle-aged man looked at each other.
"This is exactly why we came to you," Delan replied: "Ed, I remember your name was this. We hope you can stop His Majesty."
"Prevent……"
Fang Yu was startled for a moment. What virtue and ability could he have to stop a king from doing something? Babartan, the king of sand, had been preparing for this plan for ten years. How could he abandon it just because of his words? What's more, he thought that although this plan had
Some things are taken for granted, but maybe Babartan has other plans.
After all, it was just a momentary thought for him, and the other person may have been thinking about all this day and night for ten years.
But Delan shook his head slightly.
"Ten years ago, your Majesty and I might have had the same idea," he replied, "but during these ten years, we have not been idle."
"We found that your Majesty and the princess made a mistake." The middle-aged man also said at this time: "The power in the holy object comes from the radiance of the blue, and the radiance of the blue comes from the Emerald Star. But this does not
It does not mean that the Emerald Star is equivalent to a sacred object, nor does it mean that every Emerald Star contains the brilliance of the blue."
"The sorcerers of the Silver Tower used the power of the Emerald Star to forge dragon souls, but more alchemists only made them produce deformed monsters..."
"The Numelin elves passed down four holy objects, but they did not leave behind the forging technology of the holy objects. They may have used the Emerald Star to forge the Sea Forest Crown, the Holy Sword of Morning Light, the Hand of Truth and other holy objects.
, but maybe the Emerald Star in their hands may not be equal to the Emerald Star we see now."
"All of us have overlooked one thing. The Emerald Star is, after all, a fragment from the Disaster Star... But what the Disaster Star itself is is self-evident."
Fang Yu listened for a long time before reacting.
"You mean... King of Sand Babartan may have planned every factor, but made a mistake on the most fundamental issue?"
Both of them nodded.
"But why didn't you bring this up?" Fang Yu suddenly stopped and looked at the two of them with some understanding.
Seeing his gaze, Delan nodded and said with some hesitation: "You should have noticed that this is just a guess of ours and does not necessarily represent the real result. It is impossible for His Majesty to do this just because of a guess of ours.
Just interrupt the plan that has been planned for ten years, not to mention that the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. Even if what we say is possible... His Majesty will definitely gamble on the other half of the opportunity."
This is what is called obsession, right?
Fang Plover thought.
But the other party actually begged him, which still surprised him.
"But you can't convince the King of Sand, how can I?" he asked.
"You can't," the middle-aged man replied calmly, "But Her Royal Highness the Princess can."
"The two princesses are the only chance to convince His Majesty."
"But for various reasons, His Majesty is unwilling to involve his two daughters. More importantly, because of what happened before, there should have been a gap between the eldest princess and Your Majesty. I guess there must be someone behind it to add fuel to the fire.
You should have discovered this too, right?"
"You are the person that Her Royal Highness the Princess trusts, and Her Royal Highness the Princess will never trust a stranger like me. So we can only place our hope on you, hoping that you can become a bridge and allow their father and daughter to reconcile. And by
This is an opportunity to convince the King of Sand to suspend the plan."
"There is another reason," Delan also said: "That is Ye Hua."
"Master Ye Hua?"
"They also have the power to stop His Majesty and even restrict blind followers from participating. But for various reasons, they seem unwilling to get too deeply involved in Istania's internal affairs. I know that you and Ye Hua have a good relationship. If... if
Things have reached the worst point, and I hope you can convince them, at least not to let everything fall into a situation of no return."
Fang Yu was startled: "Is it because of the Stargate Declaration?"
"I know you are also the Chosen One," Delan replied: "So we don't force you to do anything for this. But I have heard the stories of your forerunners and some rumors about your past, so Ai
Virtue, just leave everything to your own heart."
Fang Yu pondered silently for a moment.
He is not weighing the pros and cons, it is better to say that he is letting go of his own ideas.
But all the events from the past came one after another at this moment, like fragments from a movie, playing over and over in his mind. Finally, he raised his head and looked at the two people, especially the middle-aged man:
"We met once in the Sand Lodge and fought against each other. At that time, in my eyes, you were a wandering alchemist."
"But now, you are also a chosen one. Mr. Deland is for everything that happened in the past. He himself is also an Istanian, a people above this sea of sand."
"what about you?"
Fang Yu asked: "Sir, why are you involved?"
The middle-aged man glanced at him in surprise.
He was silent for a moment and then said:
"Just an Avenger."
…
The moment Fang Yu walked out of the wine shop, he felt that the sunshine outside was unusually bright.
But the thoughts in his heart were different from before entering.
He himself did not expect that just because he was investigating Afifah's whereabouts, he would hear such a shocking secret. Although he already had some ideas in his mind and guessed the connection between the two things.
When he walked into the wine shop, he saw Miss Ship Officer, Tian Lan and others coming towards him.
Before the noble lady opened her mouth, Tianlan already chirped:
"Brother Ed, we have found out who took Miss Afifah away!"
Fang Yu looked at the other party, and his tone was actually not too surprising.
"It's Her Royal Highness, right?"
Tianlan and Jita looked at each other in surprise.
"How do you know, brother Ed?"
But Fang Yu shook his head and said:
"Let's go see her."
"Maybe she has been waiting for us for a long time."
