"Miss Afifa, then we'll send you to this place."
ZXC said to the wise girl with some politeness.
In front is a manor standing in the darkness, tall buildings hidden behind rows of palm trees.
The people of Lufu Shield stopped behind him. Afifa temporarily lived in a mansion in the capital of Earl Nurman, with the count's daughter. Naturally, she didn't know about this, and only thought it was arranged by Lord Ebenni. Soon after, the wise warlocks would go to the capital to take her back.
She turned around and bowed slightly to everyone to express her gratitude.
After the banquet, Fang Yu originally planned to ask Alisa to send her back. However, because he was on the way with Lu Fuzhidun, the latter also did it for him.
Moreover, she and the few people from Lu Fu Shield were already familiar with each other on the "Dawude" number, and they were not unfamiliar with it.
"Then we will have a chance to see you again in the future, Miss Afifa." ZXC nodded slightly.
"May the divine fire bless you all."
Afeifa watched everyone walk away and sighed softly.
Many of the things that happened at the banquet today were the first to her. The Prince Alef was completely different from what she imagined. Is she really the same name as a princess? This is really a coincidence.
Of course she also understood that all this was because of Mr. Ed. Looking back on everything that has happened these days, "escape" from the Bein Fortress and encountering a huge dust storm, the crash of the "Dawud" was like a dream. Is this the so-called "adventure"?
She had some novelty in her heart, but she also vaguely understood that this was not the life she wanted. In comparison, she still prefers those peaceful and quiet days in the lighthouse in the clouds, where she could easily read and understand the world from the lines. Adventure was indeed too far away for her.
Only a person as powerful as Mr. Ed can be fearless in the wind and rain, overcome all kinds of difficulties, and enjoy the challenges?
She was a little envious.
But I don't yearn for it.
Seeing the people of Lu Fu Shield disappear into the darkness, she turned around and silently remembered the day in her heart. She realized that she might not forget all this for a long time, and then walked back to the courtyard. However, the courtyard today seemed a little quiet, with the wind rustling with palm leaves, and she could not hear the earl daughter scolding her maid.
Miss Lavalli is not here today?
The girl looked in that direction, and the black holes in the manor were completely different from the brightly lit scene in the past. In the darkness, only the leaves were shaking gently, as if a strange shadow was lurking. In that direction, she was silently staring at her. As Feifa looked at this scene, she felt a little uneasy in her heart - why is there no one in the manor?
She hesitated for a moment before taking out a crystal of light, but before she could light it up, the crystal shivered and fell to the ground.
In the darkness, several figures slowly walked out.
"Miss Afifa."
"We've been waiting for you for a long time."
The person in the lead said hoarsely: "If you don't mind, please go with us, someone wants to see you-"
The girl shuddered in her mind, turned around and ran away.
While running, she opened her mouth and was about to shout - if ZXC and the others had not walked far, they might be able to hear it. But before she could make a sound, the powerful hand behind her had already grabbed her arm, and Afeifa screamed in pain and almost fell down.
Then the other hand reached out from behind and covered her mouth.
The girl only felt the darkness in front of her eyes and lost all consciousness.
...
Inside the hostel—
Pasha walked up and took out the package from his arms. Fang Zhuan looked at the little boy carefully opening the package one by one and took out the gray notes. He couldn't help but feel a little funny and a little moved. He gently rubbed the other person's head and said with a smile: "Actually, there is no need to be so serious."
Pasha looked up and looked at him in confusion. Miss Atila asked him to bring the note from Tansneer, saying that it was something the leader wanted. He was frightened along the way, fearing that he would lose something, but fortunately he finally delivered the thing safely.
Fang Ling looked at Pasha's expression and understood that the other party did not understand what he meant, so she had to change her words and said, "Thank you, Pasha."
Pasha then smiled happily.
He smiled shyly, then lowered his head embarrassedly.
But Tianlan was not so 'reserved' and slapped Pasha hard: "Good job, Pasha!"
Fang Yu picked up the notes and looked at the gray cover, but before opening the notes, he looked at Silvede. The note was notified by the other party to ask Miss Aitela to bring it to Pasha. She was always so careful that she thought about what she needed first.
Silvede just smiled slightly, and his eyes meant that this was the duty of the ship's officer. Although Fang Yu was not familiar with the affairs on the ship, he always felt that the ship's officer should not be responsible for this...
Tang Xin looked at the couple's face and frowning, and her heart felt as if there were ten lemons.
When Silweid noticed this scene, he used his eyes to signal him to pay attention to his sister's emotions.
But Fang Yu was wrong, and remembered something, and turned around and said to Tang Xin: "By the way, Tangtang, please take a look at this note."
Tang Xin looked at him speechlessly, but after looking at the notes in his cousin's hand, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. After listening to Ye Hua's description, Fang Ling planned to return the notes to the eldest princess, but because it involved the bridge of Sky and was related to finding the whereabouts of Silmide's father, he wanted to check the notes for the last time before handing them over.
Since they did not find useful clues on this note before, their investigation turned to other directions afterwards, so this was the first time Tang Xin saw this note.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "I seem to have seen this note..." She stretched out her hand and opened the title page, a little stunned.
"Yes, can you remember anything else?" Fang Yu asked hurriedly.
But Tang Xin shook her head.
"That's all, I did see it a few times."
Fang Yu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he was actually the same.
Everyone studied the note, but even the fairy lady could not see anything from the note. Only Nini expressed her opinions in a babbling manner and activated the atmosphere.
In the end, Fang Zhu decided not to waste time. He went to the big library a few more times in the past few days. If he didn't find anything, he would be ready to return the things to the eldest princess. Questak had everything, and after that, they would officially leave the place - they would stay in Tansneer for a while.
Until Qihai Traveler's number is launched-
After that, they will leave this thousand-year-old sea of ​​sand.
So Fang Ling officially announced the end of the third rally of the Qihai Brigade.
Everyone was preparing to leave before their departure, but after the meeting, Luo Hao took Jita and Luo Yu and the other two to find him.
The fat man from the military walked up with a serious expression and said, "Captain, I have something to say to you."
Fang Yu looked at the other party with some surprise.
Luo Hao took out a handful of fragments from his pocket, spread his palms and handed them to him.
They were some crystals emitting faint green light, translucent, staying in the other party's fleshy palm. It looked like something between jade and turquoise, like gems, but the original ore of the gems was not so dazzling. It was too fragmentary after being pondered and cut by the jeweler.
It's more like some broken glass fragments, but the glass doesn't have such a beautiful sheen.
When Fang Ling saw these fragments, she was slightly stunned:
“These are…”
"You should know its origin, right?"
"The Emerald Star, the warlocks of the Silver Tower in the Giant War used it to create the first Dragon Soul Crystal. This crystal is extremely rare in nature, and it seems to be one of the evidence that they have only appeared in this world a few times." Miss Tata's calm voice came from Fang Zhu's shoulder.
There were only three dragon soul crystals in the first generation, which was the starting point of artificial dragon souls. Creating souls with alchemy is closer to a miracle, so people also use the name in the legend to call it - Sage Stone.
Kapuka has one of the three first-generation dragon soul crystals. Of course, it has already been empty, leaving only an empty shell. The first owner of the dragon soul in this crystal is Kaorin-Ishurien's founding king.
Fang Zhu had seen the crystal, which was almost exactly the same as the fragments on Luo Hao's hand.
However, these fragments on Luo Hao's hand occasionally emit a bright blue light, as if the light incident angle is different, such a brilliance will appear.
But Fang Yu looked at the light and always felt a sense of repulsion and felt a little uneasy.
"Only the first generation of dragon soul crystal was cast with the Emerald Star," Luo Hao said: "After that people discovered its flaws. The artificially created dragon soul has great uncertainty, which will affect their knights. The first generation of dragon knights died young, and it is precisely for this reason."
In addition, people later discovered an easier way.
By using the method of accommodation rather than creation, a more stable dragon soul was obtained, so the Emerald Star withdrew from the stage of history.
But people think that these crystals are things that can ‘create’ life, the sage stone, and believe that they are doors to the ultimate path of alchemy and are gifts of the gods.
"So around seven hundred years ago, the alchemists set off a trend of 'creating life', but the Emerald Star was so rare that it almost caused wars among countries. And two of the three Dragon Soul Crystals were also damaged in that era... But later these attempts failed one by one, and the creation of life was silent one by one."
The fairy lady's voice was still calm.
That era in history is called the creation event.
But its ending is far less casual than the Goblin Miss said-
The creation of the Emerald Star not only failed, but even many accidents occurred, and some deformed monsters were created.
And people soon discovered that these monsters were born with certain divine power characteristics, and they were almost the best resurrected bodies of the dead dark saints. Therefore, in various "creation experiments", the figures of dark believers soon appeared. The largest of them were the predecessors of the blind followers who were hiding in this vast sea of ​​sand today.
Of course they had a well-known name at that time.
Fallen Alchemist.
The dark believers almost created a follower, Mephist—but before Descartes really came, the nations finally reacted and wiped out the fallen alchemists one by one, so the resurrection incident at that time was in vain.
After that, the alchemist who used the "Sage Stone" to shape his soul became a taboo.
It is one of several types of alchemy that craftsmen always explicitly prohibit.
Fang Zhu looked at the crystal fragments and asked:
"Do the blind followers find the Emerald Star again?"
But Luo Hao shook his head.
"The leader, this was found on the Dawude, and their masters may not be blind followers."
"...Because there are more on the ship, there are a full set of 'creation'-related equipment and alchemy materials. They put a lot of explosive crystals on the ship. If Miss Afifa wasn't on the ship, they might have exploded the ship."
"And," Luo Hao said slowly: "Captain, the state of these crystals is a bit subtle..."
And he hadn't spoken yet.
Tata then spoke and replied, "They have been used."
Fang Yu listened silently. He knew the inside story better than others about this matter.
Almost immediately, he thought of that possibility.
But did the other party succeed?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! He hasn't had time to think about this question clearly.
Alisa had already walked in from outside with a serious face, looked at everyone, and said:
"What happened, the leader of the group, Miss Afifa disappeared."
This news was nothing short of a thunder, exploding among the crowd.
"What!?"
...
Fang Ling hurried to the earl's mansion I had been to last time, and once again saw the earl's daughter there.
When he saw Lavalli, he realized that the other party was in a bad state.
The Earl's daughter's face was pale, and she covered her left arm with her right hand - a piece of cloth tied on it, and a faint red seep from below. ZXC stood aside, and of course there were other people from Lu Fu Shield. The fat man looked apologized when he saw him: "Boss Ed, I'm sorry... We have lost our words and promised you to send Miss Afifa back safely... I didn't expect such a thing to happen..."
"Don't care about their business."
The Count's daughter gritted her teeth and replied. She shook her head weakly: "I was negligent in the precautions. They had sent the people, but they didn't expect the gangsters to hide in the manor. This is my responsibility and has nothing to do with others--"
"Stop talking about this," Fang Ling said: "What's going on? Do you know who the other party is?"
He promised the King of Sand to take good care of Afeifa.
What's more, not to mention this, what's the matter if a living person disappears in front of him?
Afifa risked such a great danger in the Fortress of Bein, and even the people of Lu Fu Shield looked at the girl differently, let alone him?
To take a step back, the other party is his fan - his first female fan in Aitalia.
No matter what, he must rescue the other party.
More importantly, when he thought of Luo Hao's previous words, he suddenly thought of a possibility-
"Has the King of Sand left the capital?"
Fang Zhu stopped for a moment and suddenly asked without any end.
Lavalli thought he was worried about the agreement with the King of Sands, so he was stunned for a moment and nodded. "Your Majesty set off an hour ago."
"One hour ago..." Fang Yu murmured.
He immediately calmed down and asked again, "So what's going on?"
Lavalli took a breath and was silent for a moment before answering: "Someone attacked the manor. There were not many people left in the manor. The guards were killed at the beginning of the periphery. Then they subdued the servants and broke into my room."
She paused: "But before that, I realized something was wrong, so I hid first. I began to think they were coming for my father, but when I hid behind the door, I realized that their target was Afifa...I expected that they would do something in the courtyard, so I went to that place first."
Fang Zhu looked at the injured hand of the Count's daughter.
"But you didn't expect that you still didn't stop those people?"
Lavalli nodded slightly.
"Is the injury serious?"
The Count's daughter unexpectedly raised her head and looked at him, then shook her head: "It's just a small injury, left when she took their swords... These people are very purposeful and well-trained. They only knocked me out and left this place. I guess if they were ordinary gangsters, they wouldn't turn a blind eye to me..."
Fang Zhu was stunned for a moment.
He looked at the count's daughter. The other party's words were obviously very confident about his appearance, but after thinking about it, it was true. If an ordinary bandit would have turned a blind eye to the beauty of Bein's desert pearl. The other party subdued everyone, did not take away any property, and only took away one Afeifa.
Not to mention bandits, or Questak's city guards, they probably do not have this discipline. According to the cognition of this era, these people are at least at the level of the death warriors.
But the key is, which side does the other party come from?
"Did you see those people?"
Lavalli thought for a moment and shook her head.
"They all wore headscarves and masks, and they were wrapped tightly. The weapons left behind were almost without any flaws. They were all popular goods," she thought for a moment: "But they should be locals in Questak, and I could hear their accent."
Fang Zhu's eyes narrowed slightly.
With this information, it is actually enough to narrow the scope to a very small one.
How many forces can be cultivated in Aitalia? Ordinary little nobles cannot afford such subordinates and servants. How many local major forces in Questak are interested in Afifa?
After all the impossible options are ruled out, the possibilities remain.
There seem to be only a few more.
