Act 357 Leaving Apenander
"Ayo, come here!" The young man waved to his companion and signaled him to come to the front of the stall.
The items displayed on that stall are just like all similar fresh goods markets. They seem ordinary, but the types of Linlang products are actually full of all kinds of novel gadgets.
This place is located in an underground market in an old city near the Airport Flying Boat Tower. Because it is close to the craftsman area, the air is filled with smoke. Various steel beams, pipes and lines in the sky are passing through. Under the raft are rust-dyeed signs, and there are dark and inconspicuous corners around, which seem depressed.
The decadence and darkness that the old urban areas in big cities fell after their prosperity was something that two young people from the Duchy of the Bucks had never seen before.
However, Yayo and his companions adapted quickly. They came to the city with the Qihai Traveler and quickly adapted to the strange life here.
Yayo had a registration at the Craftsman Association, and the two found a job. At the same time, they studied some alchemy gadgets and designed some designs in order to go further on this road.
But Aiyin Bullock's cost of living is still too high. The finished alchemy products sold in the Craftsman District are extremely expensive. Even if you only buy parts and raw materials, it is enough to bite a piece of meat from the two people's low income every month.
Although things in the fresh market are not always satisfactory, they are better at cheapness.
What's more, when choosing the things you like among strange objects, there is always a sense of stimulation of treasure hunting. In reality, so many people are addicted to this theory, that's nothing more than this.
Everything in the old town seemed dead, but except for the people here. It was many from different regions, from different races, and from different faces, but they had the only common trait-
It is this trait that makes them gather here.
That is a spirit that is not so 'satisfied with poverty and enjoys the way'.
The people here have their own "abilities", but there are restless factors hidden in their bones, and the goods flowing out of them naturally seem suspicious.
In addition to the treasures taken out of the rag, there is another type of "product" that makes sellers and buyers smile at each other and know them well, and there is no need to reveal their origin.
This is something that the young alchemist picked up.
Although the low-dive boss in front of him had pointed ears, he kept telling him that this thing was a defective product eliminated from the craftsman department, and the source was absolutely regular.
But Ayo took the thing from his companion, looked up and asked about the other party's origin and purpose, but the half-ling didn't know it after asking.
Both of them are alchemists of the Craftsmen Association. Although they are only named, they will never believe that this guy is talking nonsense here.
"Tell me," Yayo knocked on the shell of the thing, "where did it steal it?"
"Why is it stealing?" The half-length man seemed to be stimulated. "At the worst you don't want my things, but you must not insult me like this." He blushed and advocated his point of view, "Okay, this thing was actually picked up by me-"
"Picked up?"
Yayo looked at each other with his companions. "This thing looks like a chart," the young companion commented. "The part of the star track seems to have been dropped. It is indeed a defective product, only half of it."
"I picked it up from under the airboat tower," the halfling defended in a sharp tone. "It might be a valuable item that a guest fell. Although it was broken, the remaining half was still valuable."
He looked at the two of them, "You can't hide it from me. I know you are alchemists, and the parts here are definitely useful to you. A small price, two thousand lissel!"
"Fifty."
"You're crazy," the other party shook his head like a rattle, "It's impossible."
"Then let's go to another house," Yayo replied. "You're right, we only need parts, but it doesn't matter what the parts come from. It's no different for us whether it's a star or an old model of construction."
As he said that, he took his companions to leave.
"Wait," the half-ling man was deflated and called out to both, "Five Hundred Risel, no less."
"Two hundred risel," said Yayo, "I can leave you an address, and then you can go to the airship tower to check it out, if you find the other half, or something else, I can double the price to buy it."
The halfling seemed very entangled, "Really, one word is certain?"
"nature."
"Okay, it's yours," the halfling glared at the two of them fiercely, "Give the money!"
Yayo paid the money in one hand and delivered the goods in the other hand. He actually didn't tell the truth all about it. He didn't plan to dismantle the thing, at least for the time being. If this halfling could really find his other half, he might be able to assemble it.
He actually saw at a glance that this was an exquisite magic device, and such things were generally valuable. However, he actually became more interested in researching this thing and wanted to understand what its original function was.
Of course he had no clue, but this does not mean that there was no one. He and his companions knew not many people in this city, but there was a suitable candidate among them.
The other party just made the front page of the Astrology newspaper.
However, the man was now elsewhere, and might have even left Apenander. On his way to the border of Shuhai, Yayo had to stop talking about this matter first and wait until the other party returns to Ayin Brock.
At the same time, the premise of all this is that if this halfling can retrieve another part, otherwise he would still honestly disassemble the thing into parts. After all, he spent a lot of money to buy this thing, so he should make the best use of it.
...
Yayo was not wrong, and Fang Zhu had indeed left Apenander.
The city with a strong historical style of the empire, they left the grand arena preserved by the previous era, with the silver spire, and the pleasant, beautiful, and red plateau.
The contestants were actually there for less than a week.
Although Tianlan complained more than once that city full of historical monuments, she had not visited many places, during that week she walked through every area of the city with the Miss Shipman.
Dalier (or also known as Miss Muppet) sometimes works as a guard with them, responsible for stopping the crazy bees and butterflies.
According to Miss Cat's original words, Miss Shipman was a little too eye-catching, especially during the competition, Apenem Tman was a variety of people, with their own goals, and some were even uneasy to be kind.
But Fang Zhu is not much different from that, some of them are visitors who are sweet orioles talking on the swallows.
That's because he was famous in the competition. Most of the noble daughters and ladies who were curious about him were also elegant ladies. Fang Yu didn't know about this at first, but the ship's officer mentioned it to him with a smile.
She also told him not to refuse coldly, because in the aristocratic circle, men should maintain their minimum demeanor.
Fang Yu was no longer interested in the aristocratic circle, but he was a little curious about this. After all, who would not have vanity for boys of his age?
But after participating in such a salon once or twice, he realized that this kind of activity was actually no different from being in jail. Although surrounded by eagles, those cute and charming people seemed to be two people from completely different worlds.
He couldn't understand what they were discussing, nor did they understand him. Both sides only spoke some polite scenes, which made one person look big.
Fang Rong quickly realized that he had been fooled by his shipmaster lady. Such an activity was simply killing his life. After only two experiences, he refused to go out again and refused to accept such a time-wasting invitation.
He didn't care about his demeanor, and he didn't have that kind of thing either.
He is just a caller.
However, when everyone else in the group heard about his experience, everyone was very funny.
But Xiaoyao and Shui Wuming smiled so hard that they were falling back and forth, and tears came out. "It's so interesting," the latter kept wiping his tears, "Ed, I think you're done. Miss Silvede ate you tightly."
"That's not," said Silvede with a smile. "He will have many such occasions in the future. As a great explorer and captain, he must see the world. Besides, the captain has a wolf lady."
Silvede smiled, as if he was not at all unhappy.
But Fang Zhu was terrified when he heard it.
"Miss Wolf?" Dalier was interested in this topic and was interested in putting down the great sword that was wiping in his hand.
"No, nothing," Fang Yu said with a tough bullet and changed the subject. "Miss Miya and I have nothing to do with you. Let's talk about the future competition."
But Shui Wuming heard it very interestingly and repeated it playfully, "Oh, a great explorer and captain."
"Don't say this," Fang Rong felt that he was being sentenced publicly. "I'm just interested in the Second World, the Great Explorer, etc., so this title should be left to Sir Mawei."
However, the ship's officer was obviously very sensible. He just pointed this sentence and then smiled and retreated to the side.
Leave enough face to her captain.
She has never had any topics in any circle and can speak to everyone. Whether it is the topic of alchemy or the private discussions of nobles, she can make people feel as if they are so beautiful.
With the appearance of the ship's officer, she could easily become the center of a topic circle, but she always gave up that position and let her captain sit on it. Although the latter was not proud of it, she was often very painful.
The upper circle of the empire is very closed.
The experiences Fang Yu saw a few days ago were not surprising. The nobles of the empire used their bloodline as a bond to control the principles of entering the circle for thousands of years. Sometimes they were too indulgent and sometimes too conservative.
But if you go deep into that circle, normal people will find it difficult to adapt. Those who maintain their identity are the excessively lengthy old customs and habits, and some of the "criterions" that have originated from centuries ago and have remained to this day are simply illogical.
The girls in that circle are just in the middle of it and it is hard to know themselves. After all, everyone sees the world around them. And because of this, Fang Yu will respect those who are willing to break the boundaries.
Silmide's father is undoubtedly such a person.
The nobles who came to Ishurian's royal family were even more absurd, so even the alchemists who were also on the upper floor of the building sneered, which was not intentional slander.
After all, Fang Zhuge had already experienced the virtues of the erratic King and those people around him.
And being able to maintain one's own unique nature in such a circle, having a wide range of friends with the alchemists, and from Silmide himself, you can also see what kind of person the Jazz is.
Fang Rong was very curious about the "old father-in-law" he had never met.
Among all, only Alisa was not there. Miss Nightingale was sneaking around these days and didn't know what to plan with Nini. The two of them couldn't see anyone all day long. However, considering that Miss Alisa was the intelligence officer on the ship, Fang Feng couldn't say much.
Moreover, she brought back some gossip from time to time. By the way, the folk remedy that goat milk can calm the mind was also bought by this lady, but she didn't know how to pass it on to Silvede.
The taste of that bowl of goat milk is hard to describe. Shortly after drinking it, Fang Zhu was very energetic and lost insomnia that night.
Xiaoyao was both envious and jealous of his invitation from the noble daughters. He said it several times and wanted to replace him. Unfortunately, most people were not interested in crystal craftsmen, let alone who would remember who was outside the first place?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! However, Weiyu has caused a lot of discussion in the aristocratic circle with her good appearance and demeanor. Some people have compared him with the Gemini of the Empire, but like Fang Yu, the former also rejected those invitations one by one.
This made Xiaoyao very sorry and condemned these two guys to burn the piano and boil the crane and chew the peonies.
But after isolating himself from the troubles of the outside world, time flies. A week passes by. These days Fang Yu locks himself up to study the star device and the design drawings obtained from the underground of Nordspitts.
He gained something, but made little progress.
Especially after realizing the connection between Cang Zhihui and Cang Qing Star, as well as the relationship between the origin of alchemy and the disaster star, he brought a hint of doubt about the previous techniques from the elves.
What he has been advancing now is multiple parallelism and elves creation techniques, but based on the limitations of hardware conditions, the progress is also very limited. Some of the experiences he got from the tree sea space are useful, but some are completely unverified.
On the contrary, several questions were solved on the chapter of the key, which was the gain he gained from all his recent experiences. He returned this part of the progress to Shana, but Niao had no news.
It seems that since the last meeting, several familiar IDs on the communication table have never appeared again.
The same goes for Miya.
However, since the Second World made the big news, there has been no news. For him, no news at this time is actually good news.
As for the military, he did not contact Su Changfeng because the other party was still on earth and said it was in Western Siberia. The news should be kept confidential, but he himself is half an extra-staff member and has a certain level of secrets.
Of course, on the other hand, he can't speak as casually as before. Bai Jia is quite worried about him. Fortunately, there are Miss Nightingale and Silvede next to him who can help him check.
Needless to say, the latter is reliable, even Bai Jia is very trusting about her. As for Miss Nightingale, she is also a helper for the military like him. In fact, her twin sister Alice is still in the special operations team.
It's just that the identity is unknown.
After leaving Apenander, the participating teams were divided into two parts. Some of the eliminated people had to leave the empire and embark on the way home. Of course, some of them were well funded and planned to stay with them.
As for whether the title is a long-term understanding or traveling within the empire, it is all the business of each team.
As for the hill of giant trees, the Sangshak delegation had already set off a week ago. Forin did not say goodbye to them, but left him a strange word. This was passed on by Luo Wei, who told him:
"Forin is waiting for you to go to Sanshak to meet him."
"What am I going to Sanshak for?"
Although Fang Ling did have plans to go to the Giant Tree Hill, why should the other party be so sure?
Besides, he might have gone to Sanshak before that, after all, it was the homeland of the Paparal people and the most prosperous place for alchemy in the land.
But after Miss Aitela and the Big Catman left, he might have to rush to the Shadow Tree Temple to pick up his cheap "sister". The two directions are in a completely different direction, and Sangshak's plan may be put on hold.
Besides, Parker is still wanted there.
"He has seen your Valkyrie," replied Luo Wei, "You have the withered Terracca heart on your hand, and you were selected by that lady. He said that the inspiration in your hand is not the complete inspiration. The Lighter and the Tower of Spring Dawn will give you more inspiration. It takes a lot of things to build that machine in the real world, so you will definitely go there."
"Then I'll thank him."
Fang Yu grabbed his hair and was a little confused. That guy was obviously an alchemist, but why did he do it like a charlatan? He is still a summoner.
However, Forin reminded him that he was indeed curious about the Light Leader. He had seen the secret scholars of the Silver Tower, and once again met the gray-robed scholar named Atush, and another old man with the other party.
That old man should be the tower guard of the Silver Tower in the empire, and he is also the current director of the Silver Tower Library. His real name is Faref Heinard. The name Fang Zhu is very familiar, but he later remembered where he had heard it.
About two centuries ago, the name had a famous history, and he finally remembered who it was, the master of the magic book "Book of the Sky", the sage, and the great magician.
The other party has lived to this day.
