Through the morning breeze forest, we headed west through Dantville, and entered Sanshak. There was still no impact of the "death epidemic". The mountains were green. They maintained a clear dividing line with the gray area on the east. The other side of the dividing line was gray. The Paparals called it the white branch land.
Leaving Neckbrolance's "White Branch Land", the investigation team walked day and night along a road between Oxseid and Fenshado. After about a week, Fang Zhu led everyone into the Silver Creek Valley—
The Linnorir people called this place the green hills - Rodell, the land of the hills, and Sanshak itself also means a place where hills gather in the elves.
The root branches of the sacred tree of Terraca are arched here to form hills, like folds on green carpets, a river, Moss River, passes through the hills, and tributaries of all sizes flow into it, like a glittering light belt.
The land they flow together is the territory of the Lord of the Mountains, the land of the Nightingale.
Of course, the nightingale here is not the nightingale of the Paparal people, but the birds in the forest. They use their wonderful singing voices to shape the homeland of the Paparal people.
Therefore, this forest is also called the Nightingale Forest, and the ancient whispering woodland continues throughout the middle of the giant tree hill.
The four seasons here are spring, warm and pleasant, and the Paparal people who love life live here. Most of them believe that there is no place in this world that surpasses Sanshak.
Therefore, except for the travelers among the Paparals, most Paparals live here throughout their lives.
However, even this land loved by the Holy Tree of Terraca is not completely untouched by the disaster. The shadow of apoptosis is spreading in the forest, and some silver-dyeed woodland has appeared in Fenshado and Loanshire.
The Paparals have now united to protect their homeland. They have hired some human mercenaries to solve the troubles in the forest, and the ring of stars has also intervened.
Before Fang Zhu arrived, he heard that another mountain lord was visiting Silver Ridge.
Lord Wat Stone Hill, Loanhill.
He heard that the area of ​​Loanshir, close to Ninimer, was seriously damaged by grey branches, so he speculated that the latter probably came here for help.
This is the central area of ​​Sanshak, with lush business dealings. Most Paparals live in Silver Ridge, but there are also many humans, and there are even some valley dwarves, so the investigation team does not need to hide their identities here. Moreover, Fang Yu asked, after losing two silver ranks, the three floating ships of the advance team remained in the area of ​​Dantville.
This is similar to the three expected by Alisa, Silvede and Choi Xis. They agreed that the advance team may not know the conspiracy themselves - this is also normal. If more than a thousand people in a fleet know about this, it means that this is no longer a conspiracy - it is a consensus of Linnorir Parliament.
In this case, Silver Wind Port does not need to send this investigation team in one fell swoop. After all, the conspiracy can only be called a conspiracy when it is known and mastered by a few people.
Alisa pointed out that the most likely situation is that a part of the advance team was involved in the matter, so that they only need to find an excuse to reasonably cover up the past.
There can be many excuses for this - wrong information, misjudgment or human negligence, which both Silmide and Cui Xisi agree with.
If these three ladies in the team reach an agreement, then the facts are probably not far apart. But Fang Yu did not dare to bet who was innocent and who was behind the scenes.
They just followed the "beacon" all the way to this place. Three days ago the Holy White Tree Heart arrived in Silver Ridge and stayed there in his perception.
Fang Yu did not expect that this Saint White Tree Heart would pass through Schaefdom all the way here. It was not taken to Silver Wind Harbor, but came to Sanshak.
There is no gray area nearby, and if those people plan to do anything with it, they should take it to Loanshire, which is closer to the Ninimer front.
But he soon understood.
Fang Zhu judged that the one who took away the Holy White Tree Heart should be a contact ship.
It is the kind of sloop sailboats, which are sometimes used as small boats on large warships to maintain communication with other ships, regions and ports.
This method is especially useful when communication is silent or interrupted.
There is an airship tower in Rodell, which is one of the most luxuriant areas in the Sanshak area, and it is the only airport in the hills.
Miss Nightingale was dressed in black and quietly returned to the bonfire like a pitch-black cat. She shared with everyone with the news she had inquired about:
"The ship arrived at the port three days ago and left Silver Ridge after the supply was completed."
Although the Paparal people have a rich material life, they are not as passionate about commercial prosperity as the Linnorel Parliament, and the commercial prosperity of Silver Ridge is only relative to other places.
They only have an open-air market where they will get something to trade, or buy the goods they need from merchants with shining coins, or exchange them for goods.
The airship tower is also set up there. Because of its leisurely life and a wealthy population, merchants are still willing to bring goods to trade here.
There are almost no decent commercial facilities in the oak hills, no hotels, taverns, only one blacksmith shop and several weaving workshops in the Silver Ridge.
The only tall building is the Adventurers Association, located in a tree house under a huge arched wood.
Most locals also live in such tree houses, low houses or hills, accompanying the mountains and sleeping with the mountains. After nightfall, the lights in the hills lit up one by one.
Like stars falling into the valley.
Since there are no hotels or cafes, adventurers who come and go can only camp in the wild, and outside the hills are countless camps of all sizes.
Fortunately, many human mercenaries have been active here since the forest disaster, so the investigation team is not prominent in it.
Cui Xisi was picking up a grilled fish from the wooden stand forked by the charcoal fire and giving it to Alissa, asking, "What do you mean, are those people leaving the Holy White Tree Heart here?"
"If the leader's perception is correct, although it is a bit strange, why didn't they take the Saint White Tree Heart to the north? Or are they planning to cultivate disaster branches here?"
Miss Nightingale took the fish with a slightly crispy scalloped outer skin. It was a whitefish, and the browned outer skin was still silver-gray. She lifted her hair with her hands, lowered her head and took a bite, then frowned.
"Your slap is roasted by Nini." Fang Zhu explained to her a little embarrassedly.
Nini was standing on his shoulders with her hands on her hips, looking at Alisa proudly, as if waiting for her to praise her.
"Good well," Miss Nightingale handed over the grilled fish, "You try it."
Then she took the grilled fish in front of him.
Fang Zhu looked at the tooth marks on the slightly burnt whitefish and looked at the other person.
Alisa raised her eyebrows at him, "Why, the leader of the group still cares about this?"
Cui Xisi looked at the two men and sighed, while the shipmaster only covered her mouth and chuckled.
Fang Yu took a bite with a bitter face. It was fishy and astringent. Before it was cooked, some places were burnt again. He wanted to put this thing back and make a souvenir—
But Nini looked at him with a gaze.
He had to pretend to be delicious and made up his mind to let Nini "stay away from the kitchen". The fish was uploaded by everyone and finally returned to him.
He thought to himself that he had known that he should have given to Lian Quia Alsana. With the elf princess's cultivation, he would not have the nerve to return the fish again.
Fang Rong didn't care what those people planned to do with the Holy White Tree Heart, because no matter what conspiracies they had, the tree heart had already died.
But he was concerned about where the heart of the tree was, who was in his hands, and why it came here, and it was in that person's hands.
"Ed, can you sense where that tree heart is?" Ms. Marian asked.
Fang Yu shook his head. This was the problem. He could only roughly sense that it was still here, but he was not sure where it was.
He can manipulate the clockwork fairy to fly a few miles away, but it does not mean that he can let the clockwork fairy activate it in a few miles away, not to mention that the clockwork fairy in the heart of the tree has been transformed by him, but now there is only one core left.
He replied, "I can only sense that the 'beacon' should be in the southwest of us. If I remember correctly, it is the residence of the mountain lord Aina Xiaoyu-"
"The Palace of the Lord of the Mountain?"
Marian, Karen and scholar Arian couldn't help but look at each other.
The face of the Paparal lady couldn't help but become serious. No one knew better than her what the mountain lord meant. The full name of the Linnorir Parliament is Linnorir-Sangshak Parliament.
Half of the power and administrative agencies of the parliament are stationed in Silver Port, but the other half of the power comes from the ruler of Sanshak, Lord of the Mountain.
A total of five mountain lords ruled here. Except for Elves Chenlu, the king of the Oxed Mountain Forest, who is an elf himself, the others are all Paparals.
Like Silver Ridge, which the Seven Seas Brigade had just arrived, this place is called Doron Ishill by the elves - the ‘sanctuary of oak trees’, or more bluntly called the oak hills. The lord here is a familiar face to Parker.
The owner of the tree shade, Aina Laugh.
Linnorir's parliament is essentially a noble house, and its structure is composed of a speaker, a deputy speaker, and a secretary general. The following are members from all regions.
The speaker is generally the mayor of Yinfenggang, mainly responsible for presided over the parliament and coordinated the work of the parliament, and has the right to play a vital voice.
The family he was born has always been one of the most prominent families of Linnorir. In the early years, the deputy speaker was also elected by the Elf Court.
But as the Linnoril Council gradually became independent, this position was also controlled by the locals, and Elves Chenlu, among the Lords of the Mountain, is serving as the deputy speaker.
In addition to the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker, there are also fixed seats in the parliament, and the five lords of the mountains have occupied these seats for almost a long time.
It can be said that in addition to the Silver Wind Harbor nobility, Sanshak's five mountain lords played an important role in the upper class of this political circle.
This is exactly why Marian felt the problem was serious. Aina Laughing Family has long ruled Silver Ridge and is the legal master of this land.
Her father was once the deputy speaker of the parliament. She took over the rule of the place from the other party five years ago and became the youngest of the five mountain lords.
If even a mountain lord was involved, the three had to reassess the influence of the case and consider how big a conspiracy was behind it?
"…I've seen Ms. Aina before," Kaylan couldn't help but say, "She's a very honest person, and I think it might have nothing to do with her."
"Knowing people and not their hearts," Alisa shook her head, "Maybe it's not necessarily her subordinates, and let's not forget that there is a guest in this mountain lord's mansion at this moment."
"Shan Lord Wat Shiqiu?" The lady of the naturalist next to him pushed her glasses and remembered this person, "But that was also a mountain lord."
Cui Xisi also asked, "But Wat Shiqiu just happened to come here as a guest. They shouldn't have brought Holy White Tree Heart in front of another mountain lord, right?"
Miss Nightingale doesn't think so.
"If the Holy White Tree Heart is really there, then everything is possible. Maybe it's a stake frame, maybe it's because they plan to plan something on the land of this mountain lord, or maybe both of them are involved-"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Even, they may have discovered that the Holy White Tree Heart can't do anything, and it may be possible to simply leave it behind nearby."
She replied: "Anyway, we cannot rule out such a possibility."
Fang Yu also agreed with Alisa's statement. Indeed, they could not rule out any possibility until the truth was found out.
In short, they still have to find the place where the Holy White Tree Heart is. Only by trying to get close to it can they determine whether it is in the mansion of the mountain lord.
It wasn't in the hands of one of the two.
Or is there someone else hiding in that place?
But scholar Arian asked, "Will that be a trap?"
However, Fang Yu shook his head and eliminated the possibility that it was a trap.
First of all, few people would have expected that someone could track something thousands of miles away, and even most prophetic spells could not do this.
Only a few spells of "Backtrack Legend" can locate the location of something across a country or even a continent, but those spells will only tell you where that thing is.
The clockwork fairy with only one core left in the heart of the tree will not have an etheric reaction, so even if the other party uses spell to detect, it will not find any abnormalities.
His sensing of the "snake pupil" comes completely from the special mechanism of the "exclusive construct".
What this mechanism must be said should be based on the divine power of Aimeya and Ms. Roman, or it comes from the system, but no one of the above three methods is possible for ordinary people to understand.
In addition, they were traveling day and night, and those people might not know where the investigation team went.
"You have to sense the specific state of the beacon," Cui Xisi said, "You have to be close to it at least within ten meters before you can determine who the Holy White Tree Heart is on."
She looked at the others, "But if it was really in the palace of that mountain lord, how could we get into it?"
Fang Zhu, Silvide, May, Tianlan and Jita couldn't help but turn their eyes to the person present. The Paparals were immediately stunned. The grilled fish that was being gnawed was no longer fragrant. "What do you think I'm doing?"
"Pak, didn't you say you and that mountain lord are acquaintances?" Tianlan asked, "Isn't that holy sword-that dagger given to you by Ms. Aina Xiaoyu?"
"dagger?"
When Marian heard this, she couldn't help but look at everyone, and suddenly remembered a rumor a few years ago. The more she looked at Parker, the more familiar she looked, and couldn't help but say:
"Wait, you are..."
"No, no, no, I'm nothing!" Parker jumped up as if he was stabbed by a needle, and quickly waved his hands, "Then those are bragging, don't you know more about it."
Fang Yu couldn't help but sigh, how many words did this guy have are true?
But this place is Parker's "birthplace", which should not be fake. The other party also met the Elf Miss, Big Cat Man and Tianlan in this place.
During the day they passed by a square, and Tianlan told everyone that they were teaming up in that square.
To be precise.
The Paparals raised a sign at that time, claiming that they were the best night thief in Silver Ridge, the king of the nightingale of the Sangshak generation.
The poet's lady is not very experienced in the world and actually believes that the Nightingale King of Sangshak's generation would be a crossbow saber.
Although the Big Cat Man saw it, it did not expose it. After all, the Paparals did have the trick of opening the door and picking the lock with just a few hands, which was enough for them.
And so, they embarked on such an adventure from there.
If you have to say anything, that square can be regarded as the place where the Seven Seas Brigade is truly formed.
After all, even Fang Zhu himself joined the team after Jita and Luo Yu, and even he did not expect that the trip would be so long after that.
He couldn't help but remember the first time, when he met the Elf Miss, the Big Cat Man and the others, and when everyone paid for the first magic furnace to help him get the first magic furnace.
Then the Miss Shipman also joined in, Mr. Limestone, Alissa, Box, Luo Hao, and until the Seven Seas Brigade finally owned its first boat.
Then they walked along the way, and had the second group and the size they are today.
Fang Yu was silent for a moment, and he missed the scene at that time. Sister Aitela and Mr. Big Catman were still there, and they had not left yet.
The ship's officer keenly felt his mood depressed, and reached out to cover his hand gently. Fang Zhu turned around and happened to see her bright gaze in the lake.
And Alissa is asking the Paparal people: "So how did that dagger come from?"
Parker said indignantly: "I stolen that thing. Haven't I said it? I have said it more than once. I am the King of the Nightingale of Sanshak."
"Unless there are two kings of the Nightingale in Sanshak," Alisa shook her head, "Forget it, I won't tell you this, so where did you bring it out?"
"When, of course..." The Paparals suddenly got stuck.
"Mr. Parker," replied Maye softly, "the dagger was kept in the treasure house of the Aina Laughing Family until it was stolen."
"I haven't been to that place," Parker replied a little dumbfounded and stuttered, "...wait, you won't want to sneak into that palace, it's not that simple, there are many crises, and if we are caught by the mountain lord..."
"Didn't you say you haven't been to that place?" Alisa asked, "How do you know there will be many crises inside?"
"I," the Paparals swallowed, "I guess..."
"Okay," replied Fang Ling, "Parker, you go with us. We will stay here for a day, and after a day we will go to that place to see."
"No, no," Parker shook his head repeatedly, "I won't go."
But no one paid attention to him.
