"My name is Dariel, Dariel-Zhongxing," the lion-woman knight stood in front of Fang Plover, squinting her long and narrow eyes and looking at him with a sense of scrutiny in her heterochromatic pupils. Her voice was a little rusty.
It's like the wind blowing through the autumn woodland, with a laziness and a fruity fragrance.
But Fang Yu immediately realized that it was the smell of perfume on the other person's body.
With a faint breath of wind from the hills of giant trees——
It has been three days since Miss Attila and the big cat man returned to the Hill of Giant Trees. Three days ago, they went to the airport to see him off, and even Tianlan went there, crying profusely. This was the first time that Fang Yu saw this naughty little girl.
Crying like this.
However, Hehir was willing to let her out, which surprised Fang Yu. It seemed that the Ten Nightingale Kings were not as unkind as the rumors, or that the relationship between the two brothers and sisters was far from as bad as Tianlan described, and he was even far away from it.
I caught a glimpse of the Vice President of Twelve Color Iris in the distance in the airport.
The other party didn't hide it deliberately either.
Halsey is obviously here to take care of Tianlan.
But Tian Lan was crying so much that she didn't notice this. Ji Ta's eyes were also red. The big cat man on the trestle was patting the shoulders of the two little girls and comforting them with gentle words. Xin Ta'an's spring is about to pass.
It hasn't passed yet, but the wind of early summer has already started, blowing away the feathers, and one day bringing about encounters.
One day, we will all meet again.
The wind brings messages, and also ages memories. The little bits and pieces of the past have now turned into the bitter wine of parting. Luo Yu and Luo Hao both looked at each other in silence, but Xiang Xiang had no feelings about it. After separation, we will always reunite, and it is not gone forever.
, he was holding his magic sword there mysteriously and pretending to be cold.
The Papalar people are rare and lonely. He, Tianlan, Etila and the big cat people came from the giant tree hill and have spent the longest time together. It can be said that they are the earliest members of the Seven Seas Brigade, and even
Get over the square plover early.
Although there is no formality on weekdays, there will always be emotions in people's hearts. The Papalar couldn't help but think of a gin that he secretly drank in Sanshak. It was refreshing in the mouth, but it had a bitter taste.
The joy of return is just like life and friendship.
But after a while, Parker picked up an imperial gold coin worth five hundred lisels on the trestle, and he became happy again.
Attila stood in front of Fang Plover and Sylvester. She straightened Fang Plover's collar for the last time and gently flattened it with her hands, just like a sister packing up for her brother who was about to go out.
She took a step back and looked at the two of them. Fang Yu and Sylvide were holding hands with each other, their fingers intertwined, and they were both looking at her. Attila stepped forward, hugged the two of them, and whispered softly: "Ed,
Take good care of yourself these days."
There was deep nostalgia in her eyes, like a sister telling her younger brother, and her doting tone made Fang Yu's nose sore.
He has never met his parents, and the only relatives around him are his uncle and aunt, Ms. Zhang Rou, and his cousin Tang Xin. Although his uncle's family treated him very well, it was Miss Elf who really made him experience the care and love of an eldest sister.
"Take care of Sylvide." Attila said softly.
Fang Plover just nodded.
He felt a slight exertion on his hand.
Attila turned back and said, "Silweid, help me take care of Ed."
"I understand," Sylvester replied, "Leave it to me, Miss Attila."
Etila nodded gently, hugged the two of them for a long time, and then left. The elf lady, who rarely expressed her feelings on weekdays, also had slightly red eyes. She turned her head sideways without saying a word, and left the giant tree alone.
On the hill, he went to Kaolin-Ithurion to look for his missing brother, but he heard the bad news.
For a period of time, she regarded Fang Plover as her younger brother, but he was not Alphonse Kidd, and she knew this very well in her heart.
It was just a sustenance in her heart that gradually turned into real feelings after getting along for a long time. She saw many shadows of the past from that boy, and those shadows faded away one by one and turned into memories. In the end, what was left was only
His uniqueness.
There is no blood connection between her and the mortal boy, but there is a silent emotion.
Mortal time is short and time flies. From the perspective of elves with long lifespans, they may miss each other inadvertently. The fate of elves and mortals will meet at a certain moment, but they will eventually become two unrelated people.
parallel lines--
And in the long years, we can only recall those short-lived golden beauties worth cherishing.
She hopes to keep every moment of this short time firmly in her heart, guard this human boy throughout his life, and cherish every passing moment. But after all, she is the daughter of the forest, and the temple has issued a summons to her.
The shadows in the forest spread and grew, and it was time for her to leave.
"Okay, Ed, we are destined to meet again."
Miss Elf turned around.
The big cat people also came up, took one look at each other, and then took out something and handed it to Fang Plover. It turned out to be his pipe. "The Annihilator is the property of the Seven Seas Brigade. I should have kept it.
"The big cat man said, "But we may have to deal with some things on this trip, and this sword may be able to help."
"So I will leave the pipe with you first, because we may meet again one day. Attila and I will go back to the Hill of Giant Trees first. Remember to bring the Seven Seas Brigade to Sanshak for a visit. Saint and I
The lady will be waiting for you all the time, just return it to me then."
Fang Yu couldn't help but think of the little lion gun that Sylvide gave to Ai, and now the big cat man came to play the same trick with him. They were all present at the time, and they didn't know what kind of fight Mr. Red was playing at this moment.
idea.
He always felt that there was something in the big cat man's words, but the other person was like this and never understood what he said.
Because the wind will tell everything.
But the Seven Seas Traveler will definitely go to Sandshack, riding the south wind, passing through the starry night, and reaching the other shore.
He will not leave any member behind.
Fang Yu took the pipe and forced himself to nod. He blinked his eyes to keep the tears from falling, so as not to make himself look too weak. However, a man would not shed tears easily, but he was not yet emotional.
Miss May, Alyssa, Baggins and the maid also came forward to say goodbye to the two of them one by one. Then the bell rang and the big cat man and Miss Elf boarded the liner surrounded by six knights.
Catman and Attila stood at the stern of the boat and waved to them.
The shuttle boat gradually goes away.
Until there is only a faint shadow left.
Fang Plover knew that the big cat people and Attila would go to Itius in the north of the empire, and from there they would transfer to the elves' own ship, sail south, pass through the sea of clouds in Hanruina, and finally arrive above the floating clouds.
The sea of trees, the country where the holy white tree grows.
Only then did he silently withdraw his thoughts from his memory.
Dalil was looking at him with interest, "Your Majesty the Holy Lady asked me to stay and look after you on her behalf. You may be in trouble for a while. I heard that you have your own ship. Can I board it too?"
"Of course, Miss Dalier can do as she pleases," Fang Plior nodded. He naturally knew that Attila had left this female knight behind. Although he felt that he had no need to be taken care of, for the sake of
He did not object to letting Miss Elf feel at ease.
What's more, the elf lady's nursery still needs someone to guard it. This female knight is not Amaya's divine guard. Although she is a knight of the temple, her rank is actually a great swordsman, but she has some skills in herbal medicine.
Good at.
In fact, she had been working as Aitila's deputy when she was in the Shadow Tree Temple.
"There are still free beds on the ship, but Miss Attila's room is already full. Miss Dalier can choose the maid's room, but there are two beds in it that are reserved, and the remaining one is occupied.
Zhang has no guests yet."
"You don't have to call me Dariel, just call me Ragdoll," the female lion knight chuckled, "You are also a chosen one, right?"
"also?"
Fang Yu looked at the other party in surprise.
"Hehe, Your Majesty the Saint seems to be paying special attention to you," she replied with a smile, "Daliel-Zhongxing is my Christian name, but my Chosen ID is actually Muppet. Yes, you
No guessing, I am also a Chosen One, I just serve as a guard knight in the Shadow Tree Temple."
"Muppets?"
The female knight nodded. "That's actually a kind of cat. They are very beautiful and I like them very much. By the way, does Mr. Ed like cats?"
Fang Plover was stunned. The Seven Seas Brigade had a cat in the past, although it only lasted for a short period of time. Mr. Gray Rock currently has a nest of squirrels, and there is a dragon or a lizard living on the boat.
of uninvited guests.
He majored in Star Gate Ecology and was somewhat interested in all kinds of animals and plants, but he didn't know if this was considered a liking.
There are also some cats in Etalria, not to mention the big cat people, but there is also a type of aberrations that he is very interested in that seem to have cat-like appearances, such as displacement beasts.
But is that a cat?
"Yes," the puppet replied mindlessly, "Cats are dangerous and beautiful, gentle and aloof. They are a contradictory creature."
"To tell you the same, I used to have low self-esteem and felt that everyone in the world was better than me. I often asked myself, what is the value of my existence in this world?"
"——That's why I passed through the Star Gate and came here just to find the meaning of life."
"Miss Saint is very gentle and taught me a lot, which helped me regain my confidence." The puppet smiled again, "I won't share a room with Her Highness the Saint. I will just let Mr. Ed arrange it."
.But Mr. Ed, cats are aloof and independent, with a strong sense of territory, and so do I—"
"During this period of time, I will play the role of a crew member of the Seven Seas Brigade. Your Excellency, the Holy Maiden, will perform this role. I will listen to Mr. Ed's orders, but please do not infringe on my privacy too much, Mr. Ed."
She stretched out her hand with a smile, "I hope we have a good time together——"
Miss Catman's claws are not as broad as Rhett's, with only a thin layer of light golden hair on them, but they are more slender and slender, and one can tell at a glance that they are a pair of lady's hands.
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, then reached out to shake hands with the other party.
"Get on well."
During this period of time, Tang Xin and Ai Xiaoxiao left one after another, and now the big cat and Attila also traveled to the hills of giant trees. The Seven Seas Brigade became quite quiet for a while, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.
The addition of Miss Lion Knight has added some popularity to the brigade.
However, the puppet had to go back to the hotel to pack his luggage, and Fang Plover watched her leave in the lobby of Gears and Magic Books. He remembered that before Miss Elf left, he had asked her about the Shadow Tree Temple, but
Didn’t get much useful information——
After all, Attila is the saint of the Shadow Tree Temple, the daughter of the Shadow in the Forest, and a unicorn girl. She is a person favored by the goddess, and there are secrets hidden in the Shadow in the Forest, and she cannot tell the outside world.
Revealing too much information.
She is naturally a member of the Seven Seas Troupe.
But the two identities do not overlap with each other, so Fang Plover can roughly understand it.
According to Miss Attila herself, before she was chosen as the Unicorn Girl, she was just an ordinary member of the Elf Court. Her surname was Zhongxing, and she belonged to the Elf Royal Family, but the Elf Royal Family's inheritance was different from that of Ten
Apart from the mortal family whose bloodline has been lost, the other nine families have left behind many bloodlines.
The Elf Royal Family is sometimes just a title.
Of course, her status as a saint is particularly different.
There are many unicorn girls in Amea.
But there is only one Shadowtree Temple.
However, the elf lady still gave him the direction. At least the portrait of the blind girl in the manuscript was not consistent with the shadow lady in the forest who once inspired her.
Because in the legend of the Giant Tree Hill, the Shadow Lady in the Forest is very similar to her twin sister, so over the long years, the two goddesses were once considered to be one. In fact, to this day, the shadow tree is known
There are still not many people in the temple.
Fang Plover has seen the forest lady Aimea, and there are statues of her in various natural temples.
When the forest lady moves in the material world, she usually appears in the form of an elf woman whose appearance is between one and two hundred years old (equivalent to a human's twenties and thirties), but the blind woman in the portrait looks like a girl.
Feeling very heavy.
He had the same feeling when he saw it in his dream.
However, if the Dragon Queen’s judgment is wrong and the blind girl is not Lady Shadow in the Forest, it means that Lady Shadow in the Forest did not have any accidents. Then what happened to the Shadow Tree Temple in the Giant Tree Hill?
what is the problem?
This was a bit surprising to him.
Fang Luo watched the Lioness Knight leave, but he was thinking in his heart if he could ask the other party about the Shadow Tree Temple? After all, the other party is also the secret guard of the Shadow Tree Temple, and he is also a selector, and there are not as many aboriginal people.
scruples.
He thought alone for a while, and then he saw Laila walking out of the hotel. The girl who lived in the attic had changed into a magician's robe today, and was holding a magic wand in both hands. When he saw
He was startled for a moment, and then he timidly said hello.
Fang Plover knew that the robe was a gift from Brianne to celebrate her return from the Patrol Guard headquarters and her escape from prison.
Everyone raised money to buy the magic wand for her. Mr. Pusher paid the most. Others, including Matri, also followed their wishes, and the Seven Seas Brigade also paid for one.
She paid a share of the money and asked Estina from the Gu Jin Magic Attic to choose one specially for her.
Now that Fang Plover was well-known in Ayinbrok, and Estina had a good relationship with them, he readily agreed and specially selected a high-quality magic wand to be sent over and returned it to them.
Discounted.
This made Laila a little flattered.
But now the girl no longer refuses everyone's kindness. This experience has made her grow a lot. She is no longer the timid and introverted girl in the past - although she is still a little afraid of life occasionally. But she has made up her mind to become a real devil.
After becoming a mentor, he will continue to stay in the old city to serve everyone.
The people here had been kind to her.
And she will spend the rest of her life repaying the favor.
If Mr. Pushe grows old one day, she will shoulder this responsibility and continue to speak out for everyone in the old city. Presumably, after she becomes an official magician, she will always be able to speak for the old people.
Everyone in the city needs to fight for some rights.
With such determination and belief, the girl finally became firm.
However, Fang Yu watched her coming in and out every day, going to the college to attend classes, and maintaining a two-point and one-line life. The Aiyin Block incident changed the girl a lot, but it did not affect her life too much.
The Sorcerer family has little connection, and the investors behind it are actually nobles in the city.
There is also the ‘Mobius’ Craftsmen Association.
The battle between the Artisans Guild and the Seven Sorcerers' Family did not bring any benefit to Laila in the academy. At most, it gave her a little more reputation outside the academy. In the past, those pointing fingers might have made Laila
Laila couldn't bear it, but now she can face it calmly.
Fang Plover called to the young girl.
"Laila."
Laila paused for a moment. She decided to stay in the old city, but her relationship with the Seven Seas Brigade was still closer. In her most critical moment, it was these strangers who had only met her once to help her. Her relationship with the Seven Seas Brigade was
The gratitude of everyone inside will only be even greater.
However, no one in the Seven Seas Troupe needs her repayment, and Laila herself knows this. She was still a little self-pitying, but with the help of Alyssa and Sylvester, she soon changed
Come here mentality.
Now she has close friends with most of the people in the Seven Seas Brigade, except for being a little timid when facing the leader.
In fact, she didn't dare to deal with Fang Plov, and the initiative to say hello was the limit. However, she didn't expect Fang Plov to stop her uncharacteristically, which made her feel a little cautious. But of course Laila couldn't pretend not to hear, and just hugged the devil.
The guide stick looked over with some surprise.
"Has the college encountered any trouble recently?" Fang Pliance asked, "Have the patrol guards come to see you again?"
Laila was stunned for a moment, shook her head, and replied honestly: "No, no, I'm fine, Mr. Leader."
"Just call me Ed," Fang Plover replied, "Laila, you don't have to be so reserved. I'm just like everyone else, no different. I just want to ask you something. Are you free now?"
Laila nodded slightly.
What Fang Yu wanted to ask was actually about Lin En's family.
The time had never been ripe before, but now their relationship with Lyra is different from the past. In addition, the Seven Seas Brigade will soon go to Nozpits, and after returning, they will have to go to the Sea of Trees in the north, and I'm afraid they won't be able to spare time.
Time comes.
Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to ask clearly the facts about where the Linn family went after leaving the Hart Principality.
"Lila, Mr. Pusher said that you have a certain relationship with Sir Ash Lynn. You are from the Lynn family," Fang Plover asked. "President Friston wanted the compass from you.
He also said that it belonged to Sir Ash——"
"He and Sir Ash are old friends. You should also know this," he continued, "otherwise you wouldn't have given the compass to him, right? So the compass was actually left by Mr. Ash Lynn
Your relic?"
Laila nodded.
"Then Laila, you should know something about the Lin En family, right?" Fang Plover continued to ask, "Mr. Pusher should have told you that before we went to the Empire, we went to the Stag Principality. Do you know Xi?
Erweid, her father used to be close friends with Ash-Lynn, which is why we came to the empire to find the whereabouts of the Linn family..."
"Lyla, can you tell us what happened twenty years ago, where did the Lynn family go after that, and are there any other descendants of Sir Ash besides you?"
Laila looked slightly nervous.
She held her hand hard and hesitated for a while before shaking her head, "I don't know, Mr. Ed."
"You don't know?" Fang Yu was stunned for a moment. He imagined the answers he might get, including the possibility that Laila might not tell them, but he never expected that Laila would give such an answer.
.
He remembered that Mr. Pusher said that Lyra came to Ayenbrook with a letter of introduction from the Lynn family. If so, how could she not know about it?
He couldn't help but look at the other person twice, but the girl didn't look like she was lying.
"What the hell does this happen?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ed..." Laila seemed a little at a loss. On the one hand, she was unwilling to lie to the people of the Seven Seas Brigade, but there were some things that she might not believe even if she told them herself.
Those secrets that only belonged to her, she had never even mentioned to Mr. Pusher.
The girl hesitated for a while before finally making up her mind, "That's it... I, I once lost some memories, Mr. Ed... When I woke up, I was on the liner heading to Ayin Block. I
I only remember everything I have on hand, the letter, the compass my father left me, and my purpose..."
"...I am a member of the Linn family. I want to go to Ayinbrok and become a real magician, just like Sir Ash-Lynn once did. I want the Linn family to become a real magician family again.
…”
"That's what the voice in my head told me."
Laila frowned and shook her head in confusion, "...I don't know why. I didn't even tell Mr. Pusher these things. I just thought that maybe one day I would always recall the past.
everything of."
She looked a little uneasy, "Mr. Ed, I didn't lie."
"I understand," Fang Plover said to reassure him, "Don't worry."
He was full of doubts in his heart, but he could also see the girl's sincerity, because if the other party really wanted to lie, he could use a more convincing explanation. For such a ridiculous thing, it only increased the authenticity for her to say it.
But how could such a ridiculous thing happen?
I lost my memory inexplicably on the liner to Ayinbrok, and I only remember what happened after that. Is this too much of a coincidence? Or maybe the other party had experienced something painful before that, and the brain was trying to protect itself.
Which memory has the principle sealed?
It's not impossible for such a thing to happen. Maybe it has something to do with the Seven Sorcerers family, or even the cunning lord of the empire. Have they found the descendant of Ash Lynn? Did something happen to the Lynn family?
What tragedy caused Laila to become like this?
Is Lila the only survivor of the Lynn family?
But the Seven Sorcerers family has too much time to take care of themselves now. Although their behavior in the Hart Principality and Ayin Block was indeed suspected of this at first, even if Fang Plover wanted to investigate this matter now, he could not find an insider.
.
The only insider in front of him has lost his memory?
Fang Plover had a headache for a while.
He suddenly remembered something, "That compass was left to you by your father? But isn't it the relic of Sir Ash-Lynn?"
Laila shook her head in confusion, "I don't know, but that's what the voice told me... It should have been given to my father by Sir Ash-Lynn, and left to me by my father..."
It suddenly dawned on Fang Yu that no wonder the other party valued the compass so much. It turned out to be a relic left to her by her father, so it made sense. He did not consider the possibility that Ash Lynn was Laila's father.
After all, the age difference between the two is there.
Ash Linn passed away fifteen years ago, and he was widowed many years ago and has been living alone since then. Although he doesn’t know how old Laila is this year, he thinks she is no older than him. Ash Linn
En has been a widow for more than ten years, and she is already very old, so it is almost impossible for her to leave behind a daughter.
It's a pity that the compass itself is not an important object. It should be just a work of Ash Lynn during his lifetime, just like the crystal given to them by the old servant. So when Friston showed interest in the crystal
At that time, Laila was grateful for the other party's help, so she gave the crystal to the other party.
Pity.
Fang Yu thought to himself that he should have come over to take a look in advance, maybe he could find some clues. He could only consider whether he could ask for it from the craftsman president next time he saw him, or maybe ask for it from him.
I borrowed it to take a look.
"Mr. Ed, is there anything else?" Laila asked him timidly.
Fang Yu shook his head. The clues were broken again. Fortunately, he had other ways to deal with the star device. Although he was a little disappointed, he didn't care too much.
He shook his head and asked the other party: "We are going to Nozpitz recently, and we may not stay in Ayinbrok for a long time. I'm worried that those patrolling guards will come to trouble you.
, Laila, do you want to go with us to the southern border of the empire?"
Laila was slightly startled.
She was a little moved, but she hesitated and refused.
She had a heavy workload at the academy, and although she was a little worried about patrolling the guards, after thinking about it, the matter at hand was more important.
Fang Yu nodded, that's what he asked.
Ms. Ming is still staying in Aiyinbrok, and there are people from the Craftsmen Association taking care of her. Presumably the patrol guards will not be so blind. Besides, the people who really caused the trouble have now been imprisoned, and the remaining
Most of the people have nothing to do with what happened that day.
The Seven Mage Family are currently searching for the whereabouts of Duke Hawke. There is silence in the direction of Apenand. Apparently, the other party has no time to pay attention to a small reserve mage.
.
After taking care of Ayin Block's affairs, it was time for the Seven Seas Traveler to set off.
But before that, he also met with the people from the special operations team sent by Su Changfeng. Although the special operations team completed the personnel handover from Ori's knights a few days ago, Su Changfeng said that this
The person leading the team in one operation was an acquaintance of his, and Fang Plover had never met him yet.
He knew a lot of people in the military. In addition to Luo Hao and Alyssa on the ship, there was also Alice who stayed in the special reserve team, and the non-commissioned officer of the Star Gate Guards whom he had met several times -
—Zhang Tianmiao. The impression the other party had on this stowaway was not a good one. After all, he had caused them a lot of trouble in the first place.
However, I heard from Su Changfeng that the other party has now been promoted and is no longer responsible for the tasks on the Star Gate side for the time being, so it may not be the other party who comes this time.
Although Alice has been recruited by the military, she and Alyssa have had stains in Fenris after all, so such a task should not fall on them for the time being. So Fang Plover is a little curious about this, who is coming this time?
who is it.
Of course, he was more curious about his bounty.
Yes, the young man he captured was registered at Stargate Port during the battle of El Paxin, and had a bounty of up to 500,000 Lisels.
As a result, what Fang Yu never expected was that the so-called 'agent' of the military he finally met would be the swordswoman he had met once in the southern border, the sword of Silver Veslan.
The witch, Bai Jia.
"Sister Bai Jia?" Fang Yu was also shocked when he saw the other party, "Why are you here? The military... aren't you from Silver Vislan?"
Bai Jia was very different from when she was in the southern border. She was now wearing a black trench coat - the uniform of the Stargate Port Special Operations Force. She put her hands in her purse and looked heroic as she stood there smiling and watching.
Hold him.
After listening to Fang Yu's words, she came over, raised her finger and tapped him on the forehead.
"Why, it can't be me?"
"But……"
Fang Yu looked at the opponent up and down. The outfit Bai Jia wore was not only similar in shape to that of the special operations troops, but also had military ranks and low-visibility logos on it. It was a serious military uniform. Ordinary people were so
Wearing it will lead to jail time.
The more he looked, the more curious he became.
"What's so strange? The military has cooperated with all the major guilds," Bai Jia replied, "I am only operating in the Silver Vislan as a military person. Sophie herself is still in the Silver Vislan."
"Sophie is one of yours too?"
"That's not true," Bai Jia shook her head, "She is a member of the serious Silver Veslan, that's what I said."
As she spoke, she reached into her pocket, took out a card and handed it over, "This is your bounty, five hundred thousand lisels. There is also some information in the safe about your mission. Do you have it?"
Kong goes to the Imperial Capital to get it."
However, Bai Jia changed the subject, "Tell me what's going on with you and Miya recently. That girl really scolded you at my place. In the past, when she was at my place, she praised you a lot, even me.
The older sisters are a little jealous."
"What," she asked. "Did you have a fight?"
"ah?"
Fang Yu was stunned, when did it happen?
But he suddenly reacted, "By the way, Sister Bai Jia... what happened at Covenant Mountain, is Miss Miya okay?"
"Miss Miya," Bai Jia said with a smile, "you don't have to worry, she is fine, and she may contact you after a while. I can't tell, little one, you are quite concerned about her."
