Fang Yu looked at the young man, and his heart quickly calmed down. Even the surprise of meeting Friston just now disappeared a lot.
He would come to the empire to investigate the whereabouts of the last crystal tower. Although it was a commission from the military, on the one hand, he was also interested in the mastermind behind the Battle of the North. Faced with this sudden invitation, he weighed the pros and cons in his heart.
Finally, he nodded slightly to the young man.
He went upstairs and walked into an office behind the young man under the gaze of the young man. Fang Yu quickly recognized that this was the office of the director of the patrol guard, but he had long understood that these people were colluding, and he felt that in his heart
It's not too surprising.
The young man closed the door behind him.
He walked around in a circle and came to Fang Yu, and gave the latter a meaningful look, "You and I are both smart people. I also suggest that you don't do something that makes everyone unhappy, and I won't talk in circles with you.
You must have recognized me. You ruined our plan in El Paxin. Maybe you were lucky, or maybe we underestimated you, an outsider, but it doesn't matter, because the outcome is already determined.
I don’t want to waste time pursuing it. But this time is different, we will not make the same mistake again, which is why I took the initiative to see you."
Fang Plover looked at the other party in surprise.
He originally thought that the other party dared to appear in front of him because he would not recognize them if he relied on him, but he never thought that this was not the case and that the other party had such a confident attitude.
He frowned and took out his hand from his purse.
He originally planned to use a recording crystal to record this scene and hand over the other party's appearance to the military, preferably together with the evidence. But since the other party has already realized this, there is no point in doing so again.
He looked at the young man and asked: "Since you know that I can recognize you, how dare you show up in front of me?"
"Why don't you dare? This is the empire, not Kaolin-Ithurian. Besides, even in Kaolin-Ithurian, if you want to arrest a first-division selector, you have to provide evidence.
I know you are looking for me, but how can you prove that I have appeared in El Paxin?"
"I saw you there."
"Yes, you are right." The young man shrugged, "But your one-sided words are not enough. The Chinese military hopes to use me to testify against some people in your Super Sports League. I know this very well, but they require
The evidence is reliable. As an insider, what you say is not trustworthy. Is there a possibility that you are retaliating?"
Fang Yu pursed his lips and looked at the other party, and said angrily: "Only the official evidence is given, I don't need it."
The young man stopped. "This is very relieved, but of no practical significance. How about we make a deal, you give us what we want, and I will personally testify against those people for you?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Literally. And the information I have may be far more than you think. Maybe I can help you catch some unexpected people. In this way, they will catch the mole, and you will also get the military intelligence."
Fang's favor - one thing has different values for different people. In this way, you get the value you want, and we also get what we want - what you lost, but
It's just a useless manuscript."
The young man spread his hands to him, "This way the deal is concluded and everyone is happy."
"But those aren't your people, and you just sold them like that?" Fang Yu looked at the other party suspiciously, "Is Ash Lynn's manuscript so important to you?"
"It seems that Friston guy has talked to you a lot," the young man shook his head, "but you don't have to trust him so much. You guys were hanging out with that little girl from the Lin family. He definitely didn't tell you that Lin
The Imperial Workshop did not play a glorious role in the En family's affairs. Ash-Lynn's technology contributed a lot to their current research on the star device. Although they are not the leader, they can divide Ash-Lynn's
The technology hasn’t fallen behind at all—”
"So you are the leader?" Fang Yu asked, "It's ridiculous. Didn't you claim to the outside world that the theory of the Horfen School is a scam, but in the end, you yourself highly praised his technology. Is this the pride of the Empire?"
"It's two different things. It's a battle between mages. Besides, Ash-Lynn's research on the star device was originally based on the ruined structure, which is something that belongs to the empire."
The young man shook his head and interrupted himself, "Okay, I'm not from the Empire, so it doesn't really mean much if you tell me this. And the reason why I tell you so much is to show sincerity. You can rest assured.
, we only have a cooperative relationship with those in the Third Division Super Competitive League, and now that the cooperation has come to an end, I will sell them to you without any psychological burden."
"But you haven't answered my question yet. Is Ash-Lynn's manuscript so important to you?"
"Friston has made it very clear to you, hasn't he? It just saved me a lot of words. Now that you know the ins and outs of this, you should understand that it involves political struggles within the empire. For you,
This fight has nothing to do with you at all, and there is no need for you to involve yourself in it."
"But to you, this is very important."
The young man closed his mouth and looked at him coldly.
Fang Yu took out the gray crystal from his coat pocket and held it in his hand. The countless facets of the crystal reflected the different faces of the two people.
The young man's face was gloomy, but he looked convinced.
But there was a deep light flashing in his eyes.
Under the vast darkness of the northern border, the refugees sheltered by Miss Saya appeared in his memory. Those pairs of eyes that were confused and hopeful about the future, the dirty faces that were cracked by the cold, the men had lost their wives, and the women
I lost my husband, my parents were separated from their children, and those stories could have never happened.
Although those sufferings are far away from him.
But everything Ms. Misu once told about, and the sea of fire lingering in Doliphon, he experienced personally.
He had personally experienced the story that lingered in the sea of fire for a long time.
He also witnessed the tragedy of the Dragon Witch with his own eyes.
The wail of Idos, the shadow that transformed into a dragon, lingers on the land, and the sorrow that the Oathkeepers have experienced should not happen again.
Behind those sad stories, there is a common pair of hands. From the Dragon Worshipers, to the Crow Claw Temple, to the Shadow Man, it finally boils down to the people in front of him. So what kind of mentality do these people come from?
Who led all of this?
He has been thinking about this problem since the traveler's rest.
The gem in his hand sparkled and he said, "Sir Ash's manuscript is indeed in my hand. This is what you are looking for."
The young man breathed a sigh of relief, no doubt that he was there, and was about to reach out to pick it up.
But Fang Plover put his hand away.
He looked at each other.
"But why should I give it to you."
"It's not important to me to testify against people I don't know at all. Because I know that the people who caused everything in the North that day are here, and you are the ones who should pay the price for all that. I don't like this
Effortlessly avoiding the point and letting you use fancy words to embellish everything, but I just can't turn a blind eye to the facts——"
He stared at the young man and answered word for word: "I said that the official only cares about evidence, but I don't need it. For me, it is just to make your plan fail, which is more important."
The young man looked at him in surprise.
The surprised look turned into a kind of burning anger, and he angrily swung his hands forward, trying to reach out and grab what Fang Plover was holding.
But Fang Yu had already expected it, so he retracted his hand, held the gray gem tightly in his hand, and looked at this person coldly. He even had some pity in his heart, if these people knew that the thing in his hand was not them at all.
What expression will you make when you are looking for someone?
But he would never tell them this. Seeing these people being deceived by the conspiracy he planned gave him a sense of revenge. The person who planned the conspiracy was eventually misled by the conspiracy. This may be the world itself.
of goodwill.
"Are you crazy!?" The young man took the opportunity and realized that the other party was playing tricks on him. He said angrily, "What good will this do to you?"
"The good thing is that I'm happy," Fang Yu put the gray gem into his pocket in front of the other party and patted it with his hand, as if it was such an important thing, "I like what you said very much, everything
They have different values for different people, but when you trample on the value of others, never think about this."
He raised his hand, and the magic pointer on the magic glove was lighting up brightly.
As soon as the young man saw him raising his hand, he realized something was wrong. His hair stood up in shock and he subconsciously rolled to one side.
With a scream, the rocket flying fist pulled the long thin steel wire and flew past the young man, hitting the fireplace behind with a bang, causing the chimney above to collapse directly, and the walnut wainscoting on both sides exploded.
, smoke and dust filled the air, and masonry and sawdust were flying.
This loud noise startled everyone.
The sound of chaotic footsteps came from downstairs, and two patrol guards pushed open the door, "What happened!?"
The young man climbed up from the ruins and yelled at the guards with a disgraced face: "Get out!"
The guard was startled. Knowing that he was the Duke's envoy, he did not dare to say anything and quickly closed the door and retreated.
Fang Yu missed a single hit, and felt a little regretful. He didn't bring the pride of the lonely king with him today, otherwise this person would have gone to the temple to be resurrected. But he didn't intend to do anything again. He only input his magic power, started the winch, and lifted himself up little by little.
The magic glove was dragged back from the ruins.
The young man patted the dust on himself and stood up, "...I don't understand why you made this choice. Most people in this world are profit animals, and so are those people. The tragedy happened to them
It's just because they didn't have a chance to take action against us. Those people who are as dusty as dust, what do they value have to do with you and me?"
"That's good," Fang Yu replied, "I am the same, so what do you value have to do with me? You can't understand my motives, just like I can't understand people like you. I have tried to understand you.
, but found that it was all in vain——"
He looked at the other person sarcastically, "People are destined to be unable to understand each other. I hope you can understand this after today."
"you--"
The young man could no longer maintain his demeanor and looked at him with resentful eyes, "Don't think that Friston has given you any promises, he can't help. And I just don't want to die with people like you, but really
When you get to that point, you'd better think carefully..."
"I know you are threatening us with Laila," Fang Plover took back the magic glove, put it on his hand with a click, and replied, "But you can give it a try."
This was the first time that Fang Yu showed such unabashed murderous intentions to others.
He had never been such a person in the past, but just being in front of this person made him feel physically uncomfortable.
The young man was forced to take a step back subconsciously by his cold gaze. Then he realized that he should not show such weakness, and said angrily:
"You wait!"
Fang Yu looked up at the other party and replied calmly:
"I am waiting."
After leaving these words, he didn't bother to pay attention to this person anymore, turned around and left.
Anyway, the purpose of his coming up is to confirm the identity of the other party. Now that the purpose has been achieved, the military only needs to report it truthfully.
…
Throughout the end of April, Aitalia's attention was drawn to the major event that took place in the Continental League, the confrontation between the Mobius Craftsmen Association and the Seven Mage Family in the empire.
But the time soon entered May, and at the beginning of summer in the Clover Plain, another thing diverted everyone's attention.
A Lizard envoy from Gudasok arrives in the Imperial Capital.
This is the first time in two centuries since the Year of Rain that the Great Council has sent an envoy to the empire, so that people have forgotten that ancient gaze from the wild rain forest in a long time, but every time
Another country in the Great Rift Valley, its relationship with the empire has never been far away from the beginning to the end.
Gudasok is not a real floating continent.
During the disaster at the end of the Black Throne, the Sinta'an continent was hit by a meteorite, and the entire central part sank under the abyssal sea, forming the Great Rift Valley today. The era of the Sinsas Snakemen also fell because of this.
After that, Gudasok split from the ancient Xintaan Skyland and settled in a corner ever since.
Therefore, to this day, people generally believe that there are four main skylands in Aitaria. Ithurion, Tree Hill, Lotao and Xintaan. The jungle of Gudasok is just from
It's just a subcontinent that split off from Gucinta'an.
Because of this special relationship, the grievances and hatreds between the imperial people and the lizard people in the jungle can almost be written as a chronicle covering most of the period of Xinta'an.
When Gudasok was founded, the empire had not yet been born. By the time the empire was born, the Lizardmen had already declined.
But the eyes from the jungle are always vigilantly watching the rise of mortals, fulfilling the prophecies from the stars and the times of the sages. Two very different civilizations are separated from each other, looking at each other through a great rift valley, and what happened
There are times of war and peace.
However, for the empire, the relationship with the Great Council in the Rainforest is undoubtedly more important than the relationship with other countries.
Just like Istania and Ancient Tower are to Kaolin, the two countries on the Sintaan continent are originally one.
But before the five magical emperors who lived long before the Stuart dynasty, during the Northern Empire, the lizardmen had been at odds with the empire due to the overlapping of imperial power. Since then, the two countries have always maintained vigilance against each other.
The empire has seven legions, a fleet, and two guild states stationed in the south, all to guard against threats from the south. Among the seven electors of the Lizardmen, three have territories that are always stuck in the empire's road to Guda.
On the border of Sauk.
Now that the envoys of the Great Council have returned, this is undoubtedly an expression of goodwill.
Relations between the Oshurs and the Gurdasok Saurians resumed rapprochement.
This is huge news for every country in Aitaria. Because no matter how the relationship between the Empire and the Great Council changes, it will have a decisive impact on the Empire's foreign attitude. Someone once joked that the Empire will and must
will always be at war.
When one war ends, it often means the beginning of another.
Although it is just a joke, it can well summarize the aggressiveness and warlikeness of the Oshur people.
And when the Oshurs end their two-century-long confrontation with Gudasok, where will the released power go? This is undoubtedly a question that everyone on the continent needs to be concerned about.
Because of this, when the lizard envoy arrived in the Imperial Capital, everyone's attention was instantly drawn from the events in the Continental League to this undoubtedly more important news.
The Great Council is here——
And the person who came was not some little person, but one of the seven newly promoted electors, the prince of the dragon lizard clan of the White Skull clan, a long-known warrior among the lizard people.
But what is more eye-catching than this identity is the latter's other identity.
Heroes of Fenris.
On the day Terraric led the envoy to arrive in the imperial capital, the Fenrisians sent a message of goodwill to the empire through the Artisan Guild. Just as Fenris had never forgotten Fang Plover, they had never forgotten His Royal Highness the Lizard Prince.
.
But this is a message of goodwill.
In the eyes of more people, it is more like a letter of challenge.
Prince Teneric lived up to expectations, accepted the challenge, and made demands to the empire on the spot.
Release Fang Plover and his party.
The whole world was in an uproar.
…
"No way—"
At the Imperial Silver Helmet Palace, Duke Hawke flatly rejected this request.
The Duke is a graceful figure, wearing a blue satin robe and holding a scepter. He is now in his fifties, but still in the prime of life. He has a short beard on his lips and black hair with only a few silver threads.
He was tall and eagle-eyed above the royal court, looking around at the lizard men from Gudasok, the envoys of the Great Council. He was scanning the guardians of the dark knowledge of Asuka with his gloomy eyes, and finally landed on Tenerik.
On the body.
"This is the internal affairs of the empire," he said, his tone decisive, without any room for relaxation. "It is not something to be used for bargaining. It involves an unresolved case that has been pending for more than twenty years. Several great magicians and the empire are involved.
Several big families are closely related."
Others looked up the hall.
The supreme man sitting on the throne wears a high crown, and there is no emotion on his face. He has a philosophical hand made of silver, one is covered with orbs, and the hem of his thick robe hangs down.
Get to the top of the steps.
From a distance, it doesn't look like a person, but more like a god visiting the mortal world.
His Majesty the Emperor showed only a slight interest in this, "The young man with the same name as the great alchemist Ed, is he the Chosen One?"
Friston, who was not far away from him, nodded. This president came all the way from Ayinbrok and arrived in the imperial capital not long ago. He was summoned and appeared in the royal court.
In fact, His Majesty the Emperor knew about this matter a month ago. When the turmoil in Ayinbrok broke out, the news was passed to the Silver Helmet Holy Court. Who dared to cover up the confrontation between the four dragon knights? But that incident happened more than a month ago.
There was no follow-up, and the Supreme Being had obviously forgotten about it long ago.
After listening to Friston's story, he nodded slightly, with a noncommittal expression on his face.
"Why do the envoys of the Great Council know about this person?"
Teneric glanced at Duke Hawke, with an undisguised coldness in his dragon-shaped vertical pupils.
It took a step forward and said: "Ed is my human brother and a distinguished guest of the Asuka family. Even in the Great Council, his status is only more respected than mine. You say this is a matter of humankind itself.
, but I’m afraid that’s not always the case.”
"how do I say this?"
asked the Most High.
"Your Majesty, you should know why we are here," Tenaric replied, "The stars of Ta-Heth have risen. Our two clans have always kept the agreement since the Year of Rain, and now the day has come for the agreement to take effect.
, we are here to retrieve that sacred object."
"I understand," His Majesty the Emperor replied, "After the Continental League is over, you can bring the sacred object back to Gudasok from the Silver Tower as a link between the Imperial people and the Gudasok Saurians.
A testament to the friendship between us.”
Teneric nodded, "Your Majesty understands the truth just as the sages said. You should understand that the sea of light is about to make waves. The year of the Dragon Selection has arrived, and the person chosen by the stars has already appeared."
"The choice of the stars?" His Majesty the Emperor pondered for a moment, "You mean?"
Duke Hawke's expression changed.
"Ed," Teneric said, "my human brother, who once received the blessings of the stars on Fenris Island, is one of the candidates."
"This is impossible!" His Excellency the Duke shouted angrily, "It's nonsense!"
But Tenerik only turned around and looked at him with dragon-shaped vertical pupils, "Of course this is not groundless, because I am also one of the candidates. I saw it with my own eyes, and I accepted the trial and bathed with my human brothers.
Blessings from the sea of light.”
"The Tada Lizard Clan, the priests of Ka-Cuilan, and the wizards of Asuka can all testify to this. The catastrophe in Fenris is actually just a precursor to the waves on the sea of light. The reason why the three major lizard tribes appeared
Being in that place was no accident."
It looked around at everyone in the hall.
"It's just that mortals don't know this."
There was silence in the hall.
…
Wow, the pride of the lonely king was not confiscated. I have cerebral palsy and changed it.
