A tiny piece of dust was moving up and down, as if it was alive.
But when I looked down, I saw a Nini with wide-eyed eyes. She was puffing up her cheeks and blowing hard, her little breasts were opening and shrinking, and her tail was wagging.
Fang Yu was a little bored watching his 'little daughter' playing tricks here. In the huge captain's room, there were only small light balls flying around on the ceiling. Except for the sound of Nini breathing and breathing, it seemed a bit quiet.
.
On one side is the door leading to the alchemy workshop. The door is open. On the workbench is a half-finished 'prototype'. It is the Lancer and Silver Bee in a modified state. It has not been assembled yet and the parts are scattered.
of.
The work of transforming the Lancers and Silver Bees was much more difficult than expected. The two types of structures were not as simple as combining them together. The newly added resonance crystal required additional counterweight and space, and the cooling system also had to be redesigned.
.
He encountered a lot of trouble before and changed thirteen designs one after another. The fourteenth design was born five hours after the thirteenth design was shot, which is the current one.
However, the unsatisfactory work began to make Fang Yu feel a little uneasy, so he had to stop what he was doing and sit here quietly for a while so that he could find his 'inspiration'.
But in fact, he has had this lingering feeling ever since he left Traveller's Rest.
It’s not just Sayek. In fact, the Tatar Lizard and the Archbishop of Cloud Port have long predicted the changes in this world. The disaster star will come and the world will change——
But what does that really mean?
Will giants and dragons return?
Unfortunately, there is no evidence to show what happened to the Sinsas snake people when they faced the first disaster. Murals from many ruins describe the black throne of fire, and little is known about what happened at that time.
.
He opened the community inadvertently, and suddenly a huge black title came into view. The font was so eye-catching like an ancient typography: 'World event task line, disaster star is coming——'
He was slightly startled, and clicked on the main post as if his hand was out of control. It turned out that the content inside was about someone accidentally triggering a series of quest lines. The quest content was about delivering goods to Crow Claw Town from Coldwater Port, but
At the end of the mission, this big mission line was accidentally triggered.
The author was confused about this task, because after the task line changed, there was no prompt for the next step, it just seemed like useless information always occupying his task information bar, so he had to ask other people for help.
Fang Yu silently moved his hand downwards, and the reflection of the window suspended in front of him was reflected in the depths of his eyes. This person's situation was slightly different from his. He directly triggered the Dragon Witch's quest line, and then entered the third stage.
In the event line of Bane Star.
Looking down, some people have joined the discussion one after another. They stated in their replies that they had encountered the same thing. Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, Fang Yu discovered that most of the places where these people triggered the tasks were in Talon.
Hanshui Port is on the same line as Linfeng Glacier, and the latter two places are both east of Baozhang Coast.
There were also a few people who said they were in Istania and had been to Idos not long ago.
This information seems to be connected by a thread, either he has been there, or he has heard about it not long ago, or he is going to a place.
The content of the next discussion changed. After people reached a consensus on the task itself, they no longer doubted the authenticity of the existence of this 'task line', and they turned to discussing the possibilities related to it.
As we all know, the system seems to have a mysterious foresight about the operation of the world. Since this task line exists, it means that it will definitely arrive at a certain time in the future.
It's just that people don't seem to realize how the 'Misfortune Star' has anything to do with them. They seem to be discussing the version change of a game with great interest. Fang Plover has experienced similar incidents in the past - in those games that imitated Etali
In Asia’s virtual game.
However, the version in the game is often one stage behind the real Aitaria. The corresponding content will not be updated in the game until what exactly happens in the world behind the star gate.
In fact, many electors also like to regard their experience in Aitaria as activities in a virtual world - after all, there are inexplicable systems here, such as starlight and information technology, which are incredible.
Something exists.
Not to mention the aborigines, humans have not understood the origin of the dragon knight system for half a century.
It behaves like a real world, but there are many things that cannot be explained by human common sense. But on the one hand, people in the two worlds can communicate with each other - not just the unilateral entry of humans, Su Changfeng
This has long been confirmed by the military.
He once asked Miss Tata about this, and Miss Fairy thought for a moment and told him: "Information can be replaced."
"The material basis of the two worlds may not be the same."
"But information determines what form matter should take."
Fang Yu was confused after hearing this, and he still hasn't understood what this sentence means. He can only say that people in the two worlds have different perceptions of the world itself. Starlight, ether and elements are like
The basic structure of the microscopic world is the same, and it is also deeply rooted in people's hearts here.
He watched the discussion for a while. The topics discussed were all content he already knew, and the clues he wanted were already obtained during their discussion, so there seemed to be no need to participate.
The discussion that followed was no longer nutritious. After closing the main post, Fang Yu took a look at the popularity of the post. It rose rapidly. In a short time, it had surpassed the post he had posted.
White clouds were flying outside the porthole, the wind was blowing the sails, and the Seven Seas Traveler was sailing above the clouds.
Crossing Charter City is the closest route to Gullah. Few ships take this route, and it is even more dangerous now. Therefore, the Seven Seas Traveler has been flying high to prevent encountering the flying dragons entrenched in this area.
.
That uneasy feeling once again arose in Fang Yu's heart, prompting him to stand up from his seat. The commotion made Nini turn around, tilting her head and looking at her handkerchief strangely.
Pa', his big eyes suddenly flashed.
The piece of dust fell leisurely and covered her face, causing her to sneeze lightly:
"Ah sneeze!"
Nini reached out and wiped her nose.
Fang Yu looked at his 'little daughter' and felt a lot more at ease. He stretched out his hand and put it on the desk, letting Nini climb up.
The little girl followed the "path" she was most familiar with, and like a nimble little monkey, she climbed up on Fang Plover's shoulders with ease and sat down cross-legged in the position that belonged to her.
Fang Plover walked out and happened to see the Papalar man sneaking past like a thief on the deck. He was afraid of the solitary room where he had not spent enough time a few days ago, but Fang Plover actually had no intention of worrying about it.
"Nothing happened recently?" He asked Alyssa, who was paying attention to the barometer. This lady was doing something that made him feel a little dumbfounded - she was curling the ends of her hair in the heat pipe of the ship.
on it, perming it into a curl, while looking back at him.
"Dear Captain, are you asking about my new hairstyle, or something else?" Alyssa asked with a playful wink.
"I'm asking about Gula Port."
Gullah Harbor is located just on the other side of Traveller's Swamp, across from Charter City and Traveller's Rest. In fact, the land passage between the two needs to pass through Charter City.
There is the northern border of Kaolin and Ithulian. Crossing the Sea of Dust and sailing northward, you can reach Lotao.
It is still a fringe area controlled by the Rainbow Alliance, across the sea from the northern area of the Treasure Staff Coast controlled by the descendants of Flor. Several guilds under bbk, especially the Jefflite Red Team, are also quite influential in that area.
Influence.
They were going to that place to meet Luo Yu's parents. Those two people should be regarded as seniors to them, but Fang Yu always felt a little inexplicably nervous since he found out about his parents.
The situation in the ancient pagoda has been very tense recently. Due to the invasion of dragon beasts, many cases of disappearance have occurred one after another. Travelers in the past are often attacked. There is even a legend that there is a creature lurking in the darkness that can erase the starlight of people.
.
Fang Yu always felt that the source of his uneasiness came from this.
He regretted that he and Luo Yu's parents had arranged to meet at such a place, but the disappearance happened after that, and it was difficult for him to change his mind with his elders.
Moreover, news came from the military that the fleet of the descendants of Flor, anchored in the south of Rainbow Kong Gorge, seemed to have some changes. Although Fang Yu felt that the other party was not necessarily coming for him, all the relevant information was
Revealing an unknown meaning.
He had asked Alyssa to pay attention to the news about Gula Port before. There is a general community in the third division, and there are many local forums below, which gather hundreds of thousands of news. It is impossible for him and Miss Tata to read them all.
To pay attention, we have to mobilize everyone's strength.
Alyssa fiddled with her curls, shook her hair, and replied lightly: "It's the same thing, a few more people disappeared, a few more attacks, the dragon beast invaded a certain town, and how many people were killed
.But fortunately, there is another Aisha's temple nearby, so they didn't let them surround the temple and start massacre——"
"That doesn't sound good at all."
"What can be done about this? As Mr. Sayek said, those dragon beasts seemed to appear overnight. The northern territories, Rodel, Elpaxin and Fenris are all semi-autonomous in nature, and their military strength is limited.
It’s just too tight.”
She paused and said, "What's more important is that the kingdom's armies are currently gathering on the northern front line of Dulon to guard against the rebellion in the south. If it hadn't been for the Phoenix Victory, the current situation would have been even worse. I heard that even Sir Roban was
Back in the royal city, it looks like the situation is not optimistic."
"But at least there is good news."
Fang Yu was slightly startled: "What good news?"
Alyssa replied a little playfully: "That means that at least everything is safe in Istania, and it seems that no one will bother the eldest princess and His Highness Aleph."
Fang Yu sighed: "Alyssa, now is not the time to joke."
"It's not all a joke," Alyssa replied: "Don't forget that it all depends on us, otherwise Istania might be a big problem now..."
Fang Yu couldn't help but think of the turmoil they experienced in Istania.
If the blind follower really succeeds, it seems that Miss Nightingale's words are indeed correct. The current Istania is not peaceful, but a time bomb bigger than the southern border.
"As for Nognis," Alyssa added, "if the Heart of the Mountain is taken away, Captain, guess what will happen? Captain, have you noticed that Corin-Ithurion is really
'Wars are rising everywhere'."
Miss Nightingale looked at him deliberately as she spoke.
In the traditional sense, Kaulin-Ithurion is divided into seven regions and four kingdoms. The core kingdom is the Kingdom of Kaulin (region), which is the political hinterland of the kingdom and the center. It is connected with Elpaxin, Luo
There are five major regions: Dell, South Corin (Southern Territory, Long Lake Region), Yis, Treasure Staff Coast and Nognes.
Finally, plus the autonomous domain of Fenris, and three alliance kingdoms - the kingdom of dwarves, Eldron; the court of elves, Alquin; and the desert kingdom, Istania.
Thinking about it carefully, among the eleven core areas of the kingdom, Nognis, Nankolin, Istania, Elpaxin and Fenris all seem to have problems together. Nankolin and Elpa
That's all Xin, if Fenris and Istania weren't because of him, the entire Corin-Ithurion would really be a scene of "wars and smoke" right now.
think about it?
Fenris fell, and Elpahim once again occupied Nicol Bolas and the drakes.
Rebellions are rising in the south and threaten the Du Lun frontline at any time.
The royal capital of Istania has fallen, the Sand King, Her Royal Highness the Princess and the King's eldest son have all fallen into the hands of blind followers, while the Nognis Aether has been lost, and all things are gradually falling into withering.
By then, how many good places will be left in the kingdom?
Fang Yu was startled for a moment, and then he vaguely realized the source of his uneasiness. The dark believers seemed to have done a lot of big things in the past year. He had not been to Yis, Aquin and Eldron yet.
, I just have the intention to go to Baozhang Coast.
There are several heroes from the Battle of Bain on Aquin's side, and Princess Brianne seems to be very shrewd. Her father must not be much different. There should be no big problem with the elves. The same goes for the dwarves.
reason.
He didn't have any big problems in his memory about Rodel, but the Treasure Stick Coast and Yis always made him feel a little bad.
"The scale of the Dark Believer's generosity has far exceeded the scale of the Dragon Witch incident. If they succeed in everything, the entire Corin-Ithurian is in danger of being overthrown." Alyssa replied.
: "This is actually what the captain is worried about, right?"
Fang Plover nodded.
"Actually, I've been thinking about this question these days," Alyssa took off her hair curlers from the heat pipe and stood up straight, "What is the purpose of this 'grand banquet' of the dark believers. But since
After listening to Mr. Sayek’s words, I suddenly understood.”
After hearing these words, Fang Yu suddenly felt enlightened.
"Are they welcoming the arrival of a bad star?"
Alyssa nodded with rare seriousness.
Fang Yu remained silent, as if he was suddenly struck by the thing that worried him the most.
The misfortune is coming and the demons are dancing wildly. The believers of darkness seem to have predicted this event from unknown channels and have made preparations for it in advance.
But they didn't even know what the Star of Disaster was, and even Mazak's old butler couldn't tell them the answer. After all, just as it was described - the fate of the Oath Keepers family was ultimately only related to the dark dragon.
Just confrontation.
But now the story of the dark dragon and the dragon-slaying holy sword, the legend of the previous generation has long come to an end in this era, Nicol Bolas is just the last tragedy in this historical drastic change - it began in Garapea
, and will finally get the fairy holy sword.
And what comes after that, no one knows.
Is the history of Aitaria a cycle of reincarnations between disasters and chaos? What is the meaning of all this?
These profound questions do not seem to have anything to do with their small adventure group. Because as Sayek said, the Dragon Witch's mission has come to an end with him. Neither Mazak nor Lucius has
Tell them where they are going.
It seems like they should be able to let go of everything.
Treat everything that happened in the past year as just a task.
But among the Seven Seas Brigade, except for a heartless guy like Parker, it seems that no one can regard all of this as just a 'mission'.
People in the community are discussing all this with great interest. A virtual world, a version change, what will follow will be more exciting adventures, a lot of opportunities, and many people may become rich overnight in this change.
Even, he became a hero.
but--
Is that really the case?
Perhaps yes, for most of the chosen ones, Aitaria is just one of their choices.
Even if they reach the most desperate situation, they can still retreat back to the earth.
So everyone can feel comfortable in the community.
"Wouldn't it be a bit silly for us to think about this, Captain?" Alyssa turned back and silently looked at the airflow and clouds passing through the side of the ship.
After a while, she suddenly asked something like this, which surprised Fang Pliance.
"What if the evil star comes?"
"We are just the chosen ones. Only in troubled times do we have opportunities, and governing the world can only solidify the class. Look at what those big guilds do, don't you understand it completely?"
"Theoretically, we shouldn't oppose it, we should support it all. The captain should have seen it, people in the community are discussing things with great interest. Guess who those people are? They are not current
They are not those with vested interests under the system, but people who are eager to seek change and have ambitions."
"Of course, most of these people may end up being nothing more than flesh and blood at the hands of others. In the final analysis, those who can become the winners in a grand feast are just those people."
"Alyssa?" Fang Piao didn't expect Miss Nightingale on his ship to say such words. This seemed to subvert his cognition, and he looked at Alyssa in front of him as if he didn't recognize her.
But the twin sister just smiled and turned around. "Are you a little scared, Captain? But these are actually not my real thoughts, just some complaints in my heart. However, they are my questions.
The premise of this question - as the Chosen Ones, do we really need to worry about the coming of a bad star?"
Fang Plover couldn't help but feel a little silent.
Nini, who was on his shoulder, looked at her 'Papa' and then at 'Aunt Alyssa'. Of course, her ignorant young mind could not understand this conversation at all, but she could vaguely see it.
The tension between the two men.
She backed away a little worriedly, curled up her tail, and bit the tip of her tail with her small, white teeth in fear.
"What would happen if Corin-Ithurion were destroyed?"
"Or to put it further, what will happen if Aitaria is destroyed?"
The two questions seemed a bit aggressive, but Fang Yu stood still and did not move. The uneasy fear in his heart seemed to reveal its true face at this moment.
What appeared in front of him were the faces of Sylvester, the big cat man, Miss Attila, and everyone he met on this journey. Some of them were friends, and some of them had studied with him.
As a result of his lifelong friendship, some people gave him everything they had, and some people gave him a lot of help.
What will happen even if Aitaria is destroyed?
This world may seem a bit illusory to people on earth.
In the absence of the awareness of death, people always lack a heavy sense of the reality of the world.
But only everything people experience, every person they meet on the road of travel, what they hear, what they witness, and the feelings in their hearts will always be sincere.
The replacement of information seemed to have already occurred the moment they came into contact with the world.
Fang Yu couldn't help but clenched his fist - Aitaria was more than just a big dream for them.
Alyssa looked at him and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that the captain's answer is actually very simple, that is, he can't let go of the big cat man, Miss Attila and the others, and of course, your Miss Sylvide.
"
Hearing the last name, Fang Yu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but he knew in his heart that it was not just because of Sylvide.
After a moment of silence, he asked:
"Then can Miss Alyssa let go of Attila, Sylvide and the big cat people?"
After hearing this question, the girl rarely retorted. She only smiled softly, with a soft and gentle light shining in her eyes, "Of course I can't let it go."
Fang Yu couldn't help but look at the other party in surprise.
Alyssa was a little funny: "Captain, why are you looking at me like that? This is normal. Sensibility and rationality are two sides of human nature, and I'm not a particularly weird person, so of course it's the same."
"Family, love and friendship are noble qualities praised by people in countless poems, and I yearn for the same, no different from other people. It's not just me, Tianlan, Parker and even Box, they are the same, people and
The differences between people are actually not as big as people think."
"Humans are animals with emotions, and the nostalgia for emotions is one of our most precious qualities, Captain."
It starts with Captain and ends with Captain.
Fang Yu couldn't help but look at Miss Nightingale with his mouth wide open.
He never dreamed that the twin sister would say such words that were almost preaching.
"So what should we do, Captain?" Alyssa looked at him, but said to herself: "I think as the captain of the Seven Seas Traveler, of course I can't be entangled in these side issues like us unknown people.
It’s in the final details, right?”
The touch of emotion that had just arisen in Fang Yu's heart disappeared. He looked at the other party with a wry smile: "Miss Alyssa, you are not a nobody."
He had finally discovered that, apart from him, the seemingly useless captain, there seemed to be no fuel-saving lamp on this ship.
Alyssa covered her mouth and smiled, "I can accept this flattery, but you'd better not tell Miss Sylvide, otherwise she will definitely make trouble for me."
Fang Yu nodded, and the conversation with the twin sister finally cleared away the confusion in his heart.
Indeed, whether the arrival of the misfortune star is closely related to each of the chosen ones, he can't control such a broad matter. But they will always follow this path along the way, because this world has long been inseparable from them.
.
What's more, he believes that he is not the only one who thinks this way. Maybe one day, he will meet more like-minded people. Aitaria has experienced disaster twice, and this time it may not be a big deal.
.
After eliminating the barriers in his heart, he finally returned to his previous state. However, looking at Alyssa in front of him, he felt that Miss Nightingale seemed to have come to say these words to him intentionally.
But of course Alyssa would not admit it, and just changed the subject and said: "But Captain, before worrying about the matter in Gula Port, I actually suggest that it is best to focus on the current matter first."
"Um?"
"The barometer shows that a storm is approaching from the north. Of course, this is not the key. The key is that we have reached the airspace above Charter City. Not long ago, Jita told us that several wind element detection points were found nearby."
Fang Yu was shocked: "Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"
"The captain didn't ask me earlier."
"……."
Fang Yu slapped his forehead and hurried out speechlessly.
After just two steps out, he turned back, looked at Alyssa, and said, "By the way, I also forgot to tell you something."
"Sir Captain, please speak." Miss Nightingale replied very politely.
"What you just said is not entirely correct."
"What part are you referring to, Captain?"
"Do you think that for the Chosen One, it's really okay to worry about the arrival of a misfortune?"
Alyssa curled her long hair and asked curiously: "Oh, what do you have to say, Captain?"
Fang Plover closed his mouth and his expression became slightly serious.
In fact, he had always had that chilling thought hidden in his heart. He always felt that the incident that Su Changfeng mentioned in his previous conversation seemed to be telling him a possibility.
Is the earth really safe?
He took a breath and then answered:
"Maybe they really can't stand it."
"Not just them, but our world may not be immune to this."
