With the support of a knight, Afifah appeared in everyone's sight, followed by Delan. The alchemist was actually wearing a black chain armor, with carved leather gloves on the long sword at his waist.
, there are a few blood stains on the boots, but no one here is wearing a military uniform at this time.
Everyone turned their attention to these two people. Some people recognized Afifa, but most people did not know Delan. Only a few old ministers who still remembered the time of the former princess could not help but smile when they saw Delan.
Surprised eyes.
"Captain Ed?" Afifa's face was as pale as the ice on a lake in winter, and he was so weak that a gust of wind could blow it over. His soft eyes were looking at Fang Plover's right arm in surprise: "Your hand..."
"It's just a small matter." With the help of Ai Xiaoxiao and Sylwede, Fang Piao sat up from the stretcher and looked at the weak girl. "Afeifa, it seems that Mr. Delan and the others have cured you.
Already?"
Afifah nodded. "Mr. Delan and another gentleman cured me. I don't know what happened before. I only remember being taken away from the Earl's Mansion. The rest is all Mr. Alfond's fault."
Mr. Parker told me."
"Miss Afifa, Miss Afifa," Parker chased after him with his short legs. He glanced at Fang Plover warily and quickly stood between him and Afifa. He took another step back and whispered to
The girl said: "You have to be careful, Miss Afifah, this guy has a girlfriend."
But this stupid little dwarf forgot that his team communication channel was open. So Fang Yu looked at this guy who was talking nonsense with a dark look on his face, and was already thinking about the other party's pathetic situation.
end.
After hearing this, Afifah blushed and shook her head quickly: "I didn't mean that, Mr. Parker..."
A certain 'girlfriend' looked at this scene with a smile, turned her head, and looked at Tang Xin beside her. But the latter only lowered her head and stared at her cousin's shoulder.
Princess Rupert looked at the face that resembled her mother's girlhood, and was in a daze for a moment. She quickly blinked her eyes and said in a slightly trembling tone: "Miss Afifah."
Afifah did not hear the weakness in the other party's words.
This girl didn’t even know who was assigned to capture her earlier, and she might never know this secret in this life. She was very flustered because this legendary princess actually knew her, and she hurriedly saluted: "
Her Royal Highness the Princess..."
"Your Highness the Princess." Then Delan also bowed and saluted. "Your Highness Aleph."
Aleph nodded quickly in return, but he didn't know who this person was and why he knew him.
Rupert looked at the man wearing black chain mail. "Are you, Mr. Derain...?"
The latter nodded slightly.
She turned around, looked at Fang Plover, and then asked him: "Mr. Delan, is there anything you can do?"
"I don't have it, but someone does"
Outside the Kassan Palace, the guards suddenly started to commotion. The crowd moved back one after another, as if they were scattered by something. Behind the crowd, a tall construct appeared. And under the construct,
People. Many, many people.
The person walking at the front was actually Ms. Erna. Behind her were all kinds of people wearing robes and coats. Fang Plover also recognized them. They were alchemists. The alchemists from the Istania Artisans Association all
Came here.
Ms. Erna walked quickly through the crowd, bowed to Aleph and Princess Rupert, and her tone was somewhat high-spirited. "Her Royal Highness, first we helped the citizens move to the North City District, but now I heard that you are still here.
By the way, the entire Istania Craftsmen's Association is here, and most of the people who are still alive are here."
She turned around, pointed at those people and said, "They must also stay to protect this royal city, including me."
Fang Luo saw Alfangde, Pasha, Xiangxiang and Luo Yu in the crowd, and they all followed him to join them.
Princess Rupert's eyes flashed.
The atmosphere in the hall relaxed a lot, and the sudden arrival of reinforcements seemed to give everyone a glimmer of hope.
An old man with a silver gray beard that almost reached the ground also came out to salute Aleph and Her Royal Highness the Princess. He was wearing a black cloth robe and had three rings on his hand, one of which had a black spider emblem tattooed on it.
After Sylvide's prompting, Fang Plover found out that this old man was the master of the Istania Association.
The craftsmen lost a lot of structures in previous battles, but this is not a problem. There is still a royal inventory in the Kashan Palace, and Aleph promised to take out those treasured structures for everyone to use. With the structure
As a combat craftsman, one person is equal to an army, not to mention that this is the combat branch of the entire Istania Craftsmen Association.
If they had participated in the previous battle, the Sand Pirates would have been defeated faster.
However, this still could not solve the root cause of the problem. The craftsmen seemed to have known about this for a long time. Before the eldest princess could ask, everyone from Erna and the old man down to them tacitly cleared a way.
This road leads to the bottom of the tall structure. Under the structure stands a silent man, wearing a gray and black trench coat. The trench coat is nailed with silver buttons, like two rows of nails on a city wall. He stands on
There, the whole person is like a silent wall, with silver frost on his temples and piercing eyes.
When many people saw this man, they subconsciously had an illusion: Have they seen him somewhere? And Princess Rupert felt even stronger in her heart. Before she could speak, the man stepped forward, and the man next to her came up.
The guard didn't know whether to stop him or not.
But fortunately, he stopped halfway through the hall and raised his hands. He wore a pair of leather gloves with iron rings on the wrists. He opened his hands and the things in his hands fell to the ground with a few "ding-dong" sounds.
Several silver objects rolled onto the marble floor.
They were several rings, forged from sterling silver. The surface of the rings was stained with blood spots, and the pattern of a closed eye could be vaguely seen under the blood stains.
Fang Plover actually recognized the other party.
They even fought against each other in Tansnir's desert shelter, but the other party didn't try his best at that time, and he was almost defeated. Later, when he met Delan, he met the other party again, and he knew
They were cooperating with Ye Hua, but when they asked about the other party's identity, they only got a simple answer:
the Avengers.
Whose revenge, revenge against whom?
He looked at Ye Hua. Ye Hua was also looking at this person, with no special expression on his face, as if the relationship between them was limited to the commission of Babartan, the King of Sand.
But Fang Yu calmed down, he was waiting for the other party at the moment.
"There are a total of twelve places where blind followers perform rituals in the city," the man retracted his hand, raised his head and looked at Princess Rupert and replied. "Eight of them have been destroyed by us, and the remaining four should be about the same.
.”
This sentence made the hall so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
"Is that thing outside summoned by blind followers through rituals?" Rupert asked, "If the ritual is destroyed, will it go back?"
"Your Highness, where do you think it should go?" the other party asked.
Rupert opened his mouth. For a while, no one came out to point out that this rhetorical question seemed a bit rude. Everyone had a strange idea in their hearts, where did the twisted thing come from, and where should it go back?
The hall was as quiet as silence, and even the most knowledgeable bachelor could not answer this question.
"Is this question important?" After a moment of silence, Rupert finally came to his senses.
The other party nodded. "This is related to how we should send it back."
"In other words," Princess Rupert reacted quickly this time, "you have a way to send it back?"
Her words immediately caused a burst of whispers in the hall.
"I don't have it, but some of us do. Together, we can maybe think of something." The other person looked around at everyone, reached under his coat, and when he took it out again, he wrapped it in a thick leather glove.
a thing.
He wrapped the thing with his hands and carefully revealed it. A ray of dazzling green light like a dream bloomed from between the gaps in the gloves.
Fang Yu recognized the thing at a glance and couldn't help but be startled.
The man took a step forward, squatted down, and placed the bright crystal in the center of the marble floor, showing it in front of everyone. The azure light radiated from the clear green crystal, lasting for a long time, as if
The entire hall became dark.
That's Cang Zhihui
But that gem.
"Emerald Star." Someone in the crowd had already whispered.
"This is..." Her Royal Highness the Princess was also a little surprised. It's not that she didn't know the Emerald Star, but there was no Emerald Star that exuded such heart-wrenching brilliance.
There seems to be a soft voice in the light, telling the gurgling past like water. It is the history of countless eras, it is the stars and light, and it is the brilliance of life.
People seem to have seen the birth of life and the origin of everything.
The other party straightened up, looked at the princess, paused for a moment, and then slowly said: "Your Highness, when I first met your mother, she was the same age as you are now. I can say that you have wisdom.
, almost completely inherited from your mother, she is one of the few people who can read the manuscript and decipher the secret from it."
The princess opened her mouth and looked at the other party in disbelief.
There was also deathly silence in the hall.
Fang Yu was stunned.
Various possibilities were tumbling in his mind, and the last and most likely idea was about to come out. He seemed to suddenly understand who the avenger of the other party was and who he was seeking revenge from.
Names, IDs and codes flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern: owl, snail, raptor, age, apothecary, big shield and far traveler, or traveler, or... star?
But no matter what, at least the name Dawn Star is already close at hand.
The images of Captain Quelord and Miss Scarpet seemed to emerge from the darkness, and then disappeared in an instant. Looking at the person in front of him, an idea flashed in his mind, Captain Quelord, and Miss Scarpet
,were they really his teammates?
If all this is true, what code name do they represent in the group that was also called "Dawn Star"? What exactly happened behind the Battle of Byrne?
But he suppressed all the doubts in his mind.
The other party continued: "Your Highness, the light you see now is called the radiance of the blue. It is not complete, but it is also the best thing your mother left for you and for Istania.
one's gift"
"In this light, there is another world. What is recorded in the notebook is actually the way to this world. When all of us were at a loss, it was your mother who used her wisdom to find it.
clue."
"And it," he sighed quietly, turned around and looked at the dim sky outside the palace: "is the only way to solve all this at this moment."
Princess Rupert quietly looked at the blue light like sea water, flowing slowly, like a dream.
She seemed to have had a dream, dreaming of her mother, standing in the light. Everything was just like the memory of a long time ago, when she was still a child, listening to her mother telling stories about distant places.
The distance in the story seems to be right in front of you.
But she has grown up after all, and seems to have inherited her father's calmness: "What is that solution?"
The other party spoke slowly, as if telling an ancient story...
A thousand years ago, a misfortune star came to the world.
The green star shines on the earth, bringing the power of darkness and giving birth to giants, naga and dark dragons.
The legend of the Dark Saints has lingered in this world since that era. After a long war, the elves defeated the giants, the mortals also killed the dark dragon, and drove the Naga family to the outer sea of Harina.
.
But the pain caused by the long war has never subsided for a moment. The sad story of the dragon slayer, the Numerin elves who left this continent, and the pure silver moon will no longer shine on Esso.
On the land of the forest.
But few people know how the elves won the final victory
It's just that they left records about that time on ancient stone tablets.
The elves believed that the green came from another world and brought everything in the darkness from that world. With the help of the gods of Orin, they hammered out five sacred objects from the fragments of the green.
.
And from it, he obtained a kind of power that is close to the original source, the Cang Zhihui.
With the help of such power, mortals finally won the war.
"But for a thousand years, no one knows how the gods of Orin forged such an almost opposing power from the green star."
"The elves explained the secret, but they were unable to do anything about it. In the end, they only left five holy objects as the last evidence of that era. The gods of Orin also avoided it, as if they had never talked about it since that era.
No more mention of anything about holy objects..."
"Only the five remaining creatures seem to be still a guide, guiding people on how to find everything in the past and the secrets left by the elves..."
"About the Bane Star, about Aitalia, about...the door to the three worlds..."
The man raised his head and looked at everyone. The bright light reflected in his eyes, like a flickering light. "Your Royal Highness, since the death of your mother, for many years, we and the King of Sand Babartan have been
In trying to unravel this secret, we haven't learned much, but at least we haven't learned anything."
"The azure radiance above this crystal is not its true form. In the excited state, it can exist for about a few hours. And these few hours are the last chance we have left."
Princess Rupert listened silently.
"With this," she asked, "can I repel Descartes' twisted incarnation?"
"No," the other party shook his head again, "its real function is to allow us to go to another world. A world where there are only stars and the gods sleep. There, we have the only chance to prevent Descartes' resurrection.
"
As soon as he said this, Fang Yu blurted out:
"Are we going to challenge a god?"
"No."
The other party looked at him and replied: "It's a god who is still recovering."
But that's pretty much it, Fang Plover couldn't help but think to himself.
Silence swirled in the hall, like a monster, swallowing up everyone's voices.
