Scene 274: The Beginning of Change in That Era (Part 2)
"Miss Sylvide, I may have found your father, Sir Mawei."
Miya was probably in a forest. When the moonlight passed through the branches and leaves, intertwined shadows fell on her eyes, but her eyes were reflected by the stars, and there was a glimmer of light in the darkness. She spoke in a very serious tone.
Slow and always seem quiet, making the two people on the other side of the light screen also appear calm.
But the calm only lasted a moment.
The face of the noble daughter changed slightly. Although she tried her best to restrain the excitement in her heart, her slightly trembling hands still showed that she was not calm in her heart: "...are you telling the truth?"
Fang Luo turned back to look at her and saw that Sylvia's hands were tightly clasped on his knees, looking a little pale because of the loss of blood color. He hesitated, then reached out to hold the other person's hand, Sylvia
De looked back at him, and there was a trace of hesitation and weakness that was rarely seen in the girl's eyes.
Fang Yu felt that his ship officer's wife was a little confused.
Miya saw all this in her eyes. A hint of surprise or disappointment flashed in her silver eyes. She also took a gentle breath. "You can call me Miya," she said again, "I don't know.
I’ve seen him in person, but I should have seen his ship, the Queen Bayard—”
Sylvester's hand trembled slightly in his.
Fang Yu knew that although it was not Sir Ma Wei's flagship, it was indeed an important ship in the main fleet, and even occasionally doubled as a ship.
Miya kept her calmness and continued: "I found it on the Libra Islands. The Queen Bayard ran aground on the beach, with all the people on board empty. There are not many clues. I can only judge that it was abandoned.
Then it drifted here.”
"Are you in the turbid realm, Miss Miya?" Fang Plover couldn't help but ask. Legend has it that the Libra Islands are the first step of the ladder of the sea, but few people can cross the nearby misty sea, and most people are also the original
The road goes back, and this is already the luckiest possibility.
Generally speaking, the Turbid Realm refers to the vast sea area starting from the Lucia Mountains and including the Covenant Mountains, Libra Islands, and Whale Song Island. It is also the cruising route of the floating island whales.
Since a long time ago, people have believed that there are secrets hidden in the turbid realm, the door to the third world, and the Stairway to the Sea may be in it. Surrounding the Covenant Mountain, the Libra Islands and the Lucian Mountains, Corin-E
There have been many wars between Thurian, the Empire, and Tree Hill.
In the last war, due to the huge defeat in the third division, the Kaolin people completely lost the Libra Islands. Now they can only retreat to a corner of the Covenant Mountain and were almost completely driven out of the Muddy Realm. Therefore, they caused huge trouble in the country.
the voice of criticism.
But what shocked people was that instead of making progress, the Super Competitive Alliance retreated to the first world. The alliance set its sights on Kaolin-Ishulian, and later initiated a series of events to annex the Southern Alliance.
This incident caused a huge shock in the third division, and led to the collapse of the Super Competitive Alliance. Although it was only temporary, the military's actions in the northern border of the kingdom obviously had the support of most people. That series of events
, Fang Plover himself has experienced it.
The Witch of the Sea has returned to the Turbid Realm.
Fang Yu remembered that the last time Miya was in this place, the second Covenant Mountain incident occurred, which led to the war in the Muddy Realm that made all the ten major guilds (except Elite) disgraced.
A large number of people were replaced.
Then the pattern of the third division changed drastically, and then came the July War.
Miya nodded slightly, and the long pointed silver ears on her head twitched. She turned her head in one direction, but only saw a night owl passing through the forest.
Fang Yu felt vaguely that besides the ship officer, the sea witch in front of him also seemed to be a little uneasy, but it was not nervous or uneasy, but she seemed to be hiding something on her mind.
But she avoided the topic, "...I found a set of codes on the Queen Bayard, which seems to be a communication method."
Miya took out a yellowed paper roll and gently unfolded it. There was a line of numbers written on it with a quill pen, spaced in twos and threes, like coordinates or communication codes. Behind it was Kaolin-Ixiu
The moment she saw that line of handwriting, Sylvide stood up from her position almost eccentricly, knocking over the cup on the table and not even noticing that the water spilled on the floor. She stared closely.
Holding the note, he held Fang Plover's hand firmly.
"Sylvid?"
The noble daughter's voice trembled slightly: "It's my father's handwriting..."
She was usually so calm and composed, but now she was so frightened and bewildered. Fang Yu had never heard such a weak voice from his ship officer, almost as if she was pleading.
"Don't worry," Miya said, "...through that set of passwords, I tried to use the communication crystal to contact the other side. Although the communication effect was not very good, it only lasted a moment. But at least the connection was connected. There seemed to be someone there.
They are talking, but I can’t hear them clearly, but at least Sir Marwei’s fleet may still exist——”
Fang Yu felt the strength in his hand increase.
"Miss Miya, what are you telling us?"
Miya shook her head, "Originally, if you didn't take the initiative to find me, I planned to inform you of this, but I didn't expect such a coincidence. The incident on the Queen Bayard may spread soon. You can wait for the news in the first world.
.”
Sylvester finally calmed down and looked at the other person. "Thank you..."
Miya looked at her and said, "Sir Mawei was trapped in the turbid realm. This is a task in itself for the selectors of the third division. You don't have to thank me. Ed, how do you plan to come to the second world?"
Fang Yu shook his head and told the story about the Continental League. But this only allowed the Seven Seas Brigade to get tickets. Going to the second world itself is not an easy task and requires a long preparation period. The Seven Seas Brigade is in
Before that, the average level must be raised.
After all, they are not a big guild, so they can prepare in advance.
Simply starting from the empire, crossing the far southern continent of Gudasoke, and finally arriving at the First Continental Bridge is a feat in itself. In the past, people called this route the route of no return, but today it is only
It's just taming the ocean currents.
However, the complicated conditions on this route, storms in the air and sea, and even sea monsters and pirates are all problems.
"I understand," Miya looked at his expression and nodded slightly, "After a while, maybe I can take time to go back to the first world. Does Ed need my help?"
"help……?"
"I've walked that route twice," Miya replied. "If I escort you, it should be much easier for you to cross the First Continental Bridge."
That will naturally make it much easier.
In fact, this is how the top guilds arrange it. They send their outstanding candidates to the second world in batches. They usually use senior people to control the formation, and sometimes even dragon knights personally pick them up.
For example, when traveling to the second world with Sophie, there is the Dragon Knight of Silver Vislan.
One of the reasons why the cost of going to the second world is so high is the labor cost. The aboriginal dragon knights disdain to do such a thing, but once the world gate is opened for half a year, how many dragon knights of the selectors can do it?
waste?
Converted into human cost, isn't it a sky-high price? Even for senior people, the same is true.
Fang Yu originally planned to use his strength to break through. This is not a feat in the history of Star Gate. There are many people in the Free Guild who have crossed the world gate by relying on their own strength. Loofah was one of them back then, and even the Knights of Tabolis
There was originally such a plan.
But it would be great if there is a senior person to lead the way.
But Miya's answer made him a little flattered.
When Miya was a sea witch, she was really a dragon knight. Even though her strength has declined now, at least her experience and knowledge are still there, otherwise she would not be able to travel through the world with Bai Hua.
Open the door and go to the second world.
Speaking of Bai Hua, Fang Yu couldn't help but feel a little curious. Where has the young man he met in Fenris, Miya's brother, gone now?
Miya seemed to see the confusion in his eyes and took the initiative to say, "Xiao Bai has his own mission and is not in the turbid realm at the moment."
"So you are going back to the first world, Miss Miya?"
Only then did Fang Yu remember that he didn't seem to care at all about what the other party was doing in the Turbid Realm. Even in the second world, the Turbid Realm was not an ordinary area. The forces of various countries here were competing against each other, and the situation was complicated.
Not only the behemoths such as Kaolin-Ithulian, the Empire and the Holy Tree Temple, but even the selectors on the fringes of the competition area such as the Guta people and the Outer Sea people also had a hand in it. For example, in the last time in the Turbid Realm
In the great war, the people from Guta took a hand.
Moreover, both the first and second Mount Covenant Incidents occurred in this place. Now that the former Sea Witch is approaching the Turbid Realm again, it is hard not to think of something.
Miya nodded.
She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Do you still remember what Ed told you about Covenant Mountain?"
Fang Plover nodded.
The first Covenant Mountain incident happened nearly five years ago.
It seems that in the blink of an eye, two years have passed since the second Covenant Mountain incident.
The cause of the two Covenant Mountain incidents is very simple - at that time, the Third Division was still at the end of its glorious decade, and the domestic guilds still controlled the turbid territory including Covenant Mountain, the southern waters of Whale Song Island, and
Most areas including the three main islands of the Libra Islands.
The Holy Tree Temple also relied on its alliance with the Kaolin people to stand side by side with the other half of the Muddy Realm occupied by the Empire, and started a ten-year confrontation. However, that confrontation had already reached its peak before the Covenant Mountain incident.
At the end.
Before a big battle begins, both the Old Alliance and the Rainbow Alliance enter their positions. The Old Alliance relies on the Libra Islands, while the Rainbow Alliance is stationed in the southern waters of Whale Song Island.
Only Covenant Mountain located in the central area of the battlefield——
At that time it was still in the hands of a free guild.
Of course, Covenant Mountain is famous in the third division now, but it is actually an inconspicuous little place in the Turbid Realm.
Covenant Mountain is a floating island, its area is less than one-tenth the size of Whale Song Island, the largest island in the Turbid Realm. There is actually only one rock mountain on the entire bare island.
Therefore, before Covenant Mountain was established, it actually had another name - Turbulent Hill.
There is actually only one most famous place in Covenant Mountain.
That is, there is a secret realm similar to that of Dolifen, which is what people often call a 'dungeon'. The time there overlaps, and everything obtained in the secret realm will be reset repeatedly, just like the dungeons in many games.
.
Of course, another famous dungeon, Dolifen, has long been destroyed by others, and although the person who broke the illusion is unknown - it has already become the target of verbal criticism from the Elpaxin generation of adventurers.
As for the 'Covenant' Guild that controls Covenant Mountain, although it is called the Free Guild, it is actually not that general.
As the only free-chosen force in the Turbid Realm, the establishment of the ‘Covenant’ was actually supported by many free guilds in the country.
At least in that era, after the Free Chosen and Free Guild Chosen went to the second world, most of them would choose to affiliate with this guild called "Covenant".
Therefore, it can be said that the 'Covenant' guild is an alliance of chosen ones jointly organized by the free guild forces in the third division.
Its status is somewhat similar to the Southern Alliance of Corrin-Ithurion.
The war is about to begin, and the 'Covenant' guild, as the official guild of the third division, naturally also bears responsibilities. In the covenant signed with the former alliance, the Rainbow Alliance, this free guild joined a number of large guilds to fight against the empire.
in the camp.
But what everyone didn’t expect was——
Just when the war was at its fiercest, the descendants of Flor issued an incredible order, ordering the 'Covenant' Guild to withdraw from Covenant Mountain and let the former alliance take over the defense line around Covenant Mountain.
This order naturally aroused resistance from the 'Covenant' Guild and refused to implement it.
Due to the series of fierce battles with the empire, many high-level free callers who had come from the 'Covenant' guild in the past, as well as some free callers from the third division free guild who rushed to support from other areas, were concentrated in the Holy Land.
On top of Mount Yue.
Due to the opposition of these people, this inexplicable transfer order of the descendants of Flor was naturally ignored.
But this laid the foundation for the conflict between Covenant Mountain and the former alliance.
After that came the famous Covenant Hill Incident.
In the past, the alliance used the help of the Super Competitive Alliance to 'punish' the contestants of the 'Covenant' Guild in the next Super League, and framed them for using the forbidden ability on the Abyssal Scroll in the competition, and collaborating with the Dragon Cultists.
Having an affair.
Although those accusations were later proven to be false, the Super Sports Alliance insisted on upholding the original verdict, which led to the retirement of a large number of talented selectors from the 'Covenant' guild, and also implicated many selectors from other guilds who participated in the competition.
The 'Covenant' Guild was also disbanded.
This incident later caused a huge stir in the country, and directly led to the conflict between the Free Guild and the Alliance Guild in the Third Division.
After the 'Covenant' guild was disbanded, its supporters and sympathizers rebuilt the 'Covenant Mountain' guild, and with the help of Silver Vislan, Loofah defeated the Thebes' Tip Brigade in the Battle of Covenant Mountain and re-established
Regained control of Covenant Mountain.
It's just that the good times didn't last long.
The descendants of Flor declared war on Mount Covenant, and the battle to defend Mount Covenant began.
The battle was so loud that even Fang Plover heard about it.
All the major neutral free guilds went to Covenant Mountain to support them and openly opposed the domineering behavior of the descendants of Flor. However, traitors emerged among the electors who went to Covenant Mountain to support them.
The BBK Alliance's counterattack officially marked the beginning of the Great Split Era in the Third Division, and led to a shocking incident.
At the most critical moment of the fierce battle between the Free Chosen and the descendants of Flor, the traitor activated the copy on Covenant Mountain through unknown means——
And turned the entire Covenant Mountain and sea area into a dead zone.
Then the members of BBK swarmed in and captured Covenant Mountain directly from the inside. That battle directly led to the loss of the top combat power of the Free Guild in the Third Division, and almost only a few people survived the entire battle.
And the sea witch Mia.
He is one of the survivors.
This was the second Mount Covenant Incident that later directly destroyed the fragile trust between the Free Chosen Guild and the Alliance in the Third Division.
After that, the Free Chosen forces in the third division were completely defeated. Free Chosen guilds like Tapolis were almost directly incorporated into the alliance. Even the Southern Alliance could not escape the fate of being dismembered and annexed by BBK.
The July War that Fang Plover experienced was basically the prelude to the subsequent war between the Alliance and the Free Guild——
However, the Alliance Guild did not receive any favor either.
In the past, the silent alliance and the fragile trust between the Alliance and the Free Chosen has now fallen apart. The glory of the Forerunners is no longer there, and the third division has also fallen from its former glory. The glory of ten years has collapsed, leaving only
A cloud of dust and rubble.
When the final order is gone.
The incident directly led to the internal disintegration of the third division. The common goal of the free selectors and the guild selectors was gone. Amidst the vast internal fighting, in Fang Plover's view, the sea witch's revenge was nothing.
It's just the tip of the iceberg.
Under such circumstances, the third division naturally ushered in a comprehensive decline, and what followed was the great defeat in the Muddy Realm.
Now, the Alliance of the Past and the Rainbow Alliance have captured Covenant Mountain.
But it also lost everything that was originally in the Turbid Realm.
The audience of the Super Competitive League was also in an uproar about this, but the league never responded to the matter from the beginning to the end. Until the military later intervened, people did not understand why the former alliance and the Rainbow Alliance did this.
Naturally, Fang Plover didn't understand either.
In fact, his inherent dislike of the Grand Guild was based on the two Covenant Mountain incidents.
At this moment, the Witch of the Sea was just telling the story of the entire incident, including some details about herself that she had never mentioned before, and details about the Hailin Crystal.
Her voice was calm, as if she was recounting something that had nothing to do with her, "I used the Hailin Crystal to resurrect, and I won the Hailin Crown from the people of the Jeffrit Red Team, the Crown of the Silver Forest. All of this,
It’s all about finding out the truth.”
"Many people went with me to support Covenant Mountain, but they were betrayed by others and lost their qualifications to be selected. If I had not seen the last battle, maybe I could turn a blind eye to it... But in
When we fought with all our strength against the enemy, someone stabbed a dagger into our hearts from behind——"
"To this day, I still can't forget the expressions of my teammates who died inexplicably."
"I can't forget all that."
At this moment, Fang Yu finally understood why Miya insisted on getting the Hailin Crown...
"Hatred has also changed me," Miya shook her head slightly and frowned, "Involving innocent people has made what I do different from those of the descendants of Flor. In the whole
During the July War, the people I felt most sorry for were Miss Scarpet, Mr. Quelord, and everyone at Dawn Star."
There was a pause.
Miya raised her head and looked at Fang Plover.
"And you, Ed."
"Now I have found out the truth..."
"It's only one step away from revenge."
"But it's just you, just you and the people of Dawn Star, and I still owe you an answer."
Fang Plover was slightly startled.
He always felt that there was something unusual about Miss Miya today, as if there was something hidden in some of her words. He couldn't help but look at Sylvester aside, but the noble daughter was still immersed in the information she had just received about Sir Ma Wei, and remained silent on the side.
"Miss Miya?"
"Don't worry, Ed," the wolf girl shook her head, "I will give you an answer soon. As for those who planned everything, they will naturally pay the price."
She looked at Fang Plover quietly with her silver eyes, "I will give you a gift, I hope you can accept it."
Fang Yu was slightly startled, but the communication over there had gone dark.
He was about to open the communication again, but suddenly felt a hand on his hand.
Fang Yu subconsciously looked back.
Only then did he realize that Miss Ship Officer was curled up, covering her mouth with one hand, trembling slightly, trying hard not to burst into tears. Fang Yu was completely shocked. He had never seen Sylvester showing such an expression before.
The soft side.
"Sylvid...?"
"Stop talking," Sylvide raised her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes, her voice trembling slightly, "Can you let me lean on you, my captain?"
Fang Plover was speechless in the darkness.
He nodded slightly.
In just a moment, a soft long hair rested on his chest, and he could feel the ship officer's gentle breathing in his arms, rising and falling together.
In the closed space, only the faint fragrance lingers.
