Chapter 31 The Road to Exile VIII

"Miss Betty, how could you be here?"
Fang Yuluo asked a little surprised, and took a step back, subconsciously pressing his hand on the drawer of the workbench - a hand gun was installed there. Although he didn't think a civilian girl would pose any threat to him, he was still careful and there was no big mistake.
Beiji's eyes looked a little hesitant, as if she was uneasy and had some purpose. Her eyes were looking for something on the workbench behind Fang Yu, and finally fell directly on the earth source crystal soaked in the reaction kettle:
“…I know there is a place where there are many such crystals.”
"What?"
Fang Yu couldn't help asking.
But after Betchi said this, he didn't say a word and just looked at him with his mouth closed, and a sense of firmness appeared in his brown eyes.
Fang Yu couldn't help but feel a little confused. He had never seen such a situation before, but his hand at least loosened from the drawer because he realized that the other party was not a spy or a spy. But he thought, you are a little too brave, and he sneaked into someone else's alchemy workshop alone. When he was found, he said such irrelevant words as if nothing had happened. If you want to change your bad temper, you might have asked someone to come in and arrest people.
He suddenly remembered that he had discovered that this girl was secretly observing how he used these earth source crystals these days, and then contacted the other party's previous words without any ends, and suddenly realized what the other party wanted to express.
"Miss Betty, you mean, you know where did the Arts Controversy Guild get these earth source crystals?"
But the girl looked at him quietly with her brown eyes, pursing her lips without saying a word. Fang Yu was a little confused about where the other party's strange personality came from, and she almost thought that she had encountered a female version of the box. He was not very good at guessing riddles, but after a moment of being stunned, she still reacted:
"Miss Betty, you mean, tell us where that place is, let's go and save your father from?"
But he shook his head, "I'm afraid not. Miss Betty, Tuyuanjing is important to me, but it is not worth taking this risk to return to Orenze. We are also very sorry about your father, but we can only say that we can do nothing."
Beiji was silent for a while after hearing his words. Just when Fang Zhu thought she would no longer speak and planned to find a reason to send him out, the taciturn girl suddenly spoke:
"I don't want to go to Kelano."
"What did you say?"
Beiji pursed his lips, and repeated it with a low voice but surely:
"I don't want to go to Kelano, I want to go to Goland."
...
"I asked clearly," Silvede put a cup of steaming black tea in front of him with a smile. "She has a brother, an alchemist. She has been leaving Orenze for several years to serve in Golander, but she has been in contact with them. I think in a sudden disaster, my first reaction was to find my brother for help, which is normal."
Fang Zhu picked up the teacup.
Baggins, Big Cat Man and Miss Aitela gathered in the captain's room. Luo Hao closed the door from outside with his backhand and walked in. Since he did not intend to make the matter public, Fang Yu did not alarm too many people.
"How did she get into the Alchemy Laboratory?"
Baggins asked.
"The crew cabin walkway is heading towards the emergency exit of the communication room. The ladder in that place is full of debris. God knows how she climbed in?" Luo Hao said as he walked over, and couldn't help but shake his head.
The Lion Paladin was holding a file in his paws and couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "What an interesting little girl."
"Mr. Reed can still laugh."
"It's just a small matter, let's relax, Luo Hao."
"I can't feel relaxed, I think this is quite suspicious." Luo Hao shook his head, "Even if she really wants to go to Golander, there are better opportunities to raise it. Is hundreds of kilograms of earth source crystal not enough for a boat ticket to the north, and ten round trips are more than enough."
"She didn't know that places like Alchemy Workshop are prohibited from entering and leaving, so the subsequent statement can be regarded as a way to cover up the truth."
Fang Rong was stunned when he heard this. He looked at the conspiracy theory patient suspiciously. He said that this guy usually acted abnormally. After he became familiar with them, he often promoted the great conspiracy behind Xingmen Port.
Of course, since joining the Starmen Port Guard, the other party has not raised the topic of layered corpses.
He used to be a big fan of BBK, but now he has completely changed his camp and regards the conspiracy theory of Mount Covenant as a story with Tianlan. Ai Xiaoxiao tells it over and over again.
Of course, he said nothing wrong with this matter.
"It's not that exaggerating," Fang Yu shook her head, "She knows there are people in the alchemy laboratory."
"That's what you're planning to do to Captain."
"Speak human words."
"Ed, be careful, there's no big mistake."
"Okay, what do you think you should do?"
"In my opinion, they should be asked to get off the boat immediately."
Fang Yu rolled his eyes, "Are you crazy? I have already made someone's 'ship ticket' into a structural body!"
"Then send them to Kailano as agreed and get off the boat at Kailano."
Fang Rong looked at the fat man with a speechless look, feeling that this guy was completely looking for trouble.
He looked back at Silvede and Miss Aitela and asked, "What do you think?"
"The captain is interested in that place?" Silweid was keenly aware of his intentions.
"Did she say where that is?"
Silvede shook his head, "Miss Betty's tone is very tight."
Not only was it tight, but it was simply silent. Fang Zhu's most stingy iron rooster ever saw was not as good as this lady who didn't see a rabbit or a hawk.
However, he was really interested in that place, of course the premise was true. But he felt that he should be almost the same. In fact, he had been curious about where the quality of the soil source crystals in the Art Controversy Guild came from. Generally, the source crystal stones in crystal-companying mines are difficult to reach this level unless they have other origins.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Therefore, Fang Yu vaguely felt that the other party might not be lying.
However, this matter is still different. Although Luo Hao’s statement is exaggerated, it makes sense. He decided to take a look and talk about it. It would not be too late to wait until Kailano discusses this matter.
Fang Rong looked at Miss Aitela again. Among all the people, he still trusted the same person as his sister.
"What does Miss Atira think?"
Miss Elf replied without thinking: "Ed just has the final say."
So he kicked the ball back.
Of course, Fang Rong knew that the Elf Miss was definitely not shirking responsibility, she might really think so.
However, this sentence itself contains many meanings, because Fang Feng knew that Miss Aitela would definitely put it up if she felt something was wrong.
She didn't object, but it was actually equivalent to acquiescence.
The vote was 3-1, so Luo Hao's proposal was killed instantly without any suspense.
Only the Big Cat Man still smiled, "I haven't voted yet, Ed."
"You voted three to two, Mr. Reid."
"Hey, Ed, although the result will not change, the process of expressing opinions is also very important, right?"
"Okay," Fang Yu was a little surprised, "Mr. Reed, do you support Luo Hao's opinion?"
"No, I support Miss Aitela's opinion."
Fang Zhu: "..."
Then you can't say anything!
...
Finally, the walnuts that were also on the boat also came to explain to them: "Sorry, Captain Ed, Betty was born in Orenze. She has never left there a few times even though she has grown up so much. The people she knows on weekdays are only us... So she may really not know what happened on the Kaguchi, nor the rules on the boat. If there is any offense, it is probably because we have not explained it clearly. If you want to punish me, please punish me."
But Fang Yu did not intend to lock anyone up in confinement, but just shook his head and said that this matter was nothing.
But as Big Catman said, he also thought that strange girl was quite interesting. She probably didn't know the ticket she paid for, not to mention going to Goland, even to the distant Rotao.
The Seven Seas Traveler heads north along the Old Age Ladder, and after passing through Elderon Holy Mountain, it will enter North Kaolin. Although you don’t have to go to the dangerous Golander, you can just put them off the boat nearby. The land surrounding the capital is quite safe. It can be said that it is the first novices area of ​​Koolin-Ishurien. It is escorted by the underground walnuts and they should be able to arrive at Golander safely.
But the premise is to cross Mount Piriyed and enter the second peak of the Old World Ladder. When they go to the Lake of Tears of Obbe, the people of Flor should know what they will do next. The other party will definitely set up a siege near the Kelion Pass. If the Seven Seas Traveler cannot break through, they can only take the pirate route in Cape Saint Hu'an, which will be far away from Beikaolin.
So Fang Yu did not consider this matter for the time being, and he would talk about it until everything was settled.
The next voyage was peaceful, and no such similar incident happened again. After the Qihai Traveler broke out of the Great Rift Valley, he headed straight for the area of ​​the Lake of Tears not far upstream. The road was calm, probably because the battle not long ago played a role, leaving the pursuers wandering behind.
The only battle they encountered was a group of violent wind elements that followed the sudden rain. This battle was actually the most difficult battle they had won in recent times. Tang Xin and Ai Xiaoxiao both upgraded in the battle and arrived at level 13. After the battle, the wind element left them with a batch of wind element crystals, enriching the reserves on the ship.
Next, we entered the territory of the war lizard man. The remaining walnut companions in the underground were waiting for them nearby. They brought the remaining earth source crystals and news about the Lake of Tears of Obey.
Since the Fenris incident, the lizards tribe in the Nognes area have become an unpopular race. Most of the war lizards who are excluded from all over the world have to leave the human world, and most of them have returned to the Lake of Tears of Obey.
As the relationship between the Kaurin-Ishurien alliance and the lizard people became increasingly tense, the lizards also closed all passages in and out of the Lake of Obey and blocked the airspace.
Although they still allow merchant ships and conveners' expedition ships to enter when paying a large toll, all warships affiliated with the Kaurin-Ishurien and sailboats under the Super Athletic Alliance are prohibited from entering this area.
This opportunity actually gave the Seven Seas Brigade a glimmer of hope. About a week before the end of the rainy season, the Seven Seas Brigade entered the area of ​​the Lake of Tears of Obey and entered a lizard-man town called Pachiva.
The Battle Lizard Man has three towns on the shore of the Lake of Tears of Obey, among which Pachiva is the largest. Although the Lizard Man tribe has only tribes but no kingdom, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the capital of the Lake of Obey.
However, the Qihai Traveler was anchored on the lake shore. From a distance, Pachiva only had a long and low city wall. The city was lined up with many roofs of animal-skinned tents, surrounding the only stone buildings in the center of the city.
It is hard to say that this place is a city, at best it is just a settlement area.
However, several towering temples and trapezoidal pyramids reminded Fang Zhuo of the ruins of Cinsas that he had seen in Fenris. Further away, there were large rainforests, and Pachiva seemed to be surrounded by a piece of jade.
There is also a small area of ​​human settlement along the lake shore, mostly high-footed wooden houses built on the water surface, connected by trestles and distributed in pieces.
There are hotels, bars, prostitutes and mercenaries there. Adventurers entering the rainforest live in drunkenness and dreams day and night in this place. Of course, there is also a temporary residence of the Adventurer Guild.
In fact, there is also an astrological tower, a place for alchemists to gather, but it is mostly magicians and elemental envoys, because serious alchemists rarely come to this kind of poor land.
And various shops sell strange things from the rainforest, such as skulls from ancient sacrificial pits, voodoo dolls, eyeballs of dart frogs, animal furs and plant rhizomes.
When I first went there, it was a novelty, but Tianlan, Ai Xiaoxiao, Jita and the other three got tired of it after visiting for a few times, so there was nothing valuable in it.
The lizards also mastered the construction technology of sailboats at the end of the last century. There were several shipyards of the lizards tribe along the lake. Although the conditions were a little worse, they could also produce authentic sailboats.
In order to hurry up, Fang Zhu found some lizard ship workers to help repair the Qihai Traveler, and agreed with them to use silver as a reward. The lizard tribe fanatically advocated precious metals such as gold and silver, which are the hardest currency here.
But they rarely calculate the exchange rate of gold and silver outside. Therefore, in the past, when the silver price was low, adventurers exchanged silver for gold, and vice versa. Over time, the lizards also found that they were at a disadvantage, so they issued a decree prohibiting outsiders from exchanging gold and silver in the Lake of Tears in Obey.
Although underground trading cannot be banned, the outflow of gold and silver is still curbed. However, adventurers still have a historical habit of replacing Riser with silver when the price of silver is low.
Of course, Fang Zhu is not immune to the common people. First, to experience this unique customs and customs, and second, this is also Silmide's suggestion.
When I was free, Fang Ling liked to sit in a bar on the shore.
He liked a fruit-made fermented drink in that place. Although the big cat man laughed at it, it was something that only children would drink, but since he got drunk in the Fairy House, he has been indifferent to the so-called adult drink.
Of course this is just one of the reasons why he came here. What’s more important is that he can find out the news here. In fact, people recognized them not long after they came here - mainly because they recognized the unique image of Qihai Traveler and Big Cat Man.
People call him Captain Ed, and they will say, "Captain Ed, you are here again, are you going to have a glass of juice?"
Fang Zhu would loudly argue, "It's fruit wine."
People burst into laughter, and the big sisters in the bar would throw him a charming look, making him blush.
However, as soon as Silvede arrived, these Yingying Yanyan automatically retreated and looked at the ship's officer with an envious and jealous look.
But overall these are jokes, and everyone highly praised them, because after the Lizards closed this area, most of the people who could come here were free recruits.
In the eyes of most free-chosenators, those who can fight against Flores must give thumbs up, and those who are on the gray list are even more heroes. Especially after Covenant Mountain, today, when the north-south confrontation is intensifying.
People will take the initiative to talk to them about some topics outside, tell them where the Flor's ship has arrived today, and there are also some news about the interior of the Lake of Tears, customs and customs, etc.
Especially since people learned that this little Ed would come to buy some strange biological specimens, their enthusiasm has become even higher. Those specimens are not magical creatures that are difficult to deal with. At best, they are just animals and plants that live in the local area, and can they be sold for money?
However, Fang Zhu just took the opportunity to investigate the ecology of Obey's Tears to enrich his information for his graduation project.
He walked past his familiar aisle, greeted the guests in the bar, sat in that old position, looked left and right to see if anyone came to sell him something.
The owner of the bar was a lizard man who inherited the common cold-blooded cold-blooded indifference - except for the one they met in Orenze - the other party only glanced at him and poured him a full glass of fruit wine.
The magician woman sitting beside her looked at him with interest and asked with a smile: "Little Captain Ed, I have something to sell to you. How about it, are you interested?"
Fang Yu did not dare to look at the low-cut leather armor he was wearing, and the snow-white skin exposed on it. He blushed and replied, "Ms. Essally, please don't joke about me."
He knew that the other party was probably looking for happiness with him again. That thing was either herself or the key to the hotel room door.
"This is no joke," Essal said with a smile. "It's true. I have a news, how about it, I'll only sell you a thousand-ricele. This is exclusive news."
Fang Yu couldn't help but be stunned. Although other people in the bar often sold him news, most of them symbolically only bought 100 risels. The news worth 100 risels could not help but aroused his curiosity.
He looked at the other person a little surprised.
"How is it, are you interested? Come over and I'll tell you quietly."
Fang Yu was unquestionably with him, and he leaned over honestly. As a result, Essale approached his ears and blew a little playfully to his face.
He was so scared that he almost jumped out of the chair. Essally stepped back and slapped the table and smiled so hard that he leaned back and forth.
She smiled and wiped her tears and said, "Okay, okay, don't be angry, Mr. Ed, just joke with you. Do you know the lizards are hoarding supplies, right?"
Fang Yu was a little at a loss and stared at the other party with anger.
The situation in Nognes is so tense that the Lizards tribe is preparing for war, whether passive or active.
However, the outside world generally believes that the fight cannot be fought because the kingdom is in a state of great trouble over the rebellion in the southern border. If Kaurin-Ishurien does not take the initiative to attack the Lake of Tears of Obey, the lizards will most likely not dare to fight.
But the outside world's cognition is the outside world's cognition. In the past few days of Obey's Tears Lake, Fang Yu could still clearly feel the tense atmosphere here.
Essalie looked at his expression and smiled, saying mysteriously: "It is said that the lizards have recently gotten a batch of source crystals from somewhere. I guess they may have discovered a new vein. How about it, are you interested?"
Fang Yu was slightly shocked. He was now allergic to the source crystal stone. When he heard these three words, he subconsciously thought of the Art Controversy Guild.
