Chapter 68 Secret Meeting
As the October autumn wind passes, the temperature drops day by day. To the north of Fuji Fort, trees wither at a speed visible to the naked eye. The withered leaves pile up in the forest and rotten. Only bare trunks are left on both sides of the roads between the forests.
A carriage passed through the suburbs of Lowell. There were still a few crows in the woods, preparing food for winter. They were frightened by the sound of the carriage from afar, and a series of flapping wings fell among the lonely woodland.
Through the mountains of Dulun, towards the north, and the holy mountain Elderon towards the west. People often say that this is a land soaked by star wind, a place loved by the gods. Rivers melt glaciers, cross hills, and finally crisscross the fields, creating this endless emerald land. Fields, manors, and windmills are dotted among them. This is the fertile land of the kingdom. From the Fort To the east of Is, all the sights of the countryside are the peaceful scenery of the country, the paradise of the world, the peddlers, farmers and artists, adventurers from the north can be seen everywhere on country trails.
But this was not the case a few decades ago, and the best land was often the worst. Once the turmoil was about to arise, the high-headed and large-scale knights, the strict guards, and the noble generals who were radiating from south to north, east to west, flowed endlessly.
But fortunately, there was a slight turmoil in the south, but Duke Phoenix gave people full confidence that the rebellion in Baicheng was nothing more than a disease of scabies. Look, the young King had just ascended to the great treasure and everything was in full swing, but there was still the prime minister who was "responsible". Although the kingdom had a minor illness, it was absolutely fine. From Fuji Fort to the north, almost everyone thought so.
The little Duke of Phoenix is heading to Godand for his title, which is not a statement.
Lowell is located in the middle of this fertile land. It was famous for its wine in its early years. Wineries of all sizes in the countryside were mostly witnesses of that glorious era. The light in the courtyard was dim, and the thin sunlight passed through the patio and landed on the deserted walkways - without crystal lighting, and no burning permanent torches.
Many nobles in the countryside do not trust magic techniques - such as being alert to those who always covet their wealth and wealth hidden in the cellar. It seems that alchemists will always turn into ghosts and steal their wealth and lives. Those people are mysterious and mysterious like wizards, and they have many means. As long as they open their mouths, they will be cursed and will not take long to die.
But the owner's whisper seemed to be for the alchemists to notice. Even if he was careful, he had an acute illness and passed away a few years ago, leaving behind an orphan and widowed mother. The widow was worried that the curse would extend to others, so she sold the farm. The person who took over did not intend to build another building on its original basis, so the original design was preserved.
As Roya walked through the dim courtyard, he glanced at the bare oak tree. His cold eyes made several summoners stand up from the railings a little confused. Others had already heard of the CEO's rumors, cold, inhumane, but efficient and rigorous, so they were valued by the 'people above'.
But Luo Ya didn't even look at these people. The ancient trunks standing in the frost seemed to evoke some memories of his past, until the elderly housekeeper came to him tremblingly and reminded him:
"The carriage was parked outside the yard, sir."
He nodded slightly and withdrew his gaze.
However, when passing by the courtyard, Roya still heard a whispering sound coming from the vicinity. The summoners looked at him from afar, whispering in a low voice, as if they thought they were not noticed:
"This guy also hired an Aboriginal as a housekeeper. Do you see him like that? It's really disgusting to be hypocritical."
"He really thinks he is a nobleman and admires foreigners."
He didn't look back and just sneered coldly.
How many elites don’t enjoy this kind of human feeling? Only mediocre people pursue equality. How can people talk about equality between people? Just as equality as those idiots is itself the greatest injustice to those who work hard.
He also struggled from the bottom to get his current position, and tried his best to seize every opportunity.
As for the Star Gate Declaration, hehe, the Star Gate Declaration.
Another world is also a society of level ranks. The relationship between people is clearly marked. In contrast, the relationship between master and servant here is somewhat warm.
But staying here compared to these fools is a waste of his time.
As for his pursuit, Luo Ya looked forward with her thin lips-
The guard was pushing open the door for him, and the swaying firelight in the living room reflected on his thin and gloomy face as the years were. He had enjoyed adventure in his early years, but everything in the past had long gone away with him with the disappearing starlight.
Xinghui is like a young goddess who is bored with the new and tired of the old. She always loves those young people in the same age, and abandons them in a blink of an eye.
"I've brought you some unexpected news."
Luo Ya walked to the center of the living room, threw a stack of information in her hand onto the coffee table, and spoke.
The sofa was like a group of ancient stone statues, no one spoke. There was only one fat middle-aged man shaking the cigar on his hand and replied:
"If it's about the air battle between Kelanon, then we already know."
Luo Ya looked around from the fourteen people sitting here. People knew those glamorous names, but often ignored the essence.
Because people are often confused by the eyes and are addicted to superficial information.
"Is that right, but I have a witness report here." He said lightly.
"Oh, what is it said?" The middle-aged man sat down a little, like a pool of meat flowing on the sofa.
"This is an investigation report about that battle."
The fat man interrupted him without hesitation, "I heard that the attacks on them were constructs, and there were many?"
But Luo Ya was not upset and replied in a stern manner:
"It was sixty-three. When the first attack wave arrived at the Onoi people, there were seven attack formations, each formation with seven components. Later, at least two formations were added, and a consensus conclusion could be drawn from the descriptions of witnesses from multiple parties on the battlefield."
"Sixty-three, this is not something that the kid can do, what does this mean?" asked the fat middle-aged man, "Is it the other person on that boat? Silver? Virus? Or He Wen?"
“Virus is Elite’s guy.”
"Okay, I remember it wrong," the middle-aged man slapped his forehead, "But that girl is quite right, I remember her."
At this time, a calm voice asked, "Can it be that woman?"
Luo Ya looked in that direction, and the middle-aged man who spoke was as cold as a stone statue. He shook his head, "Loofah did not return in the second world."
"So is it-?"
Luo Ya replied: "The origin of those components remains to be investigated, but some witnesses pointed out that their appearance is somewhat similar to the Shield Guardian. I have asked them to look in this direction, but the specific details may not be concluded for the time being."
Only then did the whispering discussion sound below.
Someone said: "...No matter who is on that boat, this tactic is actually not creative. It's just that no one could have the component crossing a control distance of more than ten kilometers... If it is fighting within the sight range, then this tactic will lose its meaning..."
"Will the control range of more than ten kilometers be a signal amplifier?"
"The signal amplifier cannot be used, and the best one can only amplify the control range by 10%.
"That is to say, the other party has mastered the technology we don't know?"
"That's...?"
"In fact, the battle lasted for an hour, and the whole process sank two sailboats and injured three, while the local guild didn't even touch the opponent's side."
The hall suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at each other, and almost everyone thought of that possibility:
"Is that thing?"
“It must be it—”
"But that sea witch..."
"She wasn't sure enough."
“But can it be sure?”
People were talking, and an old man with dark spots coughed gently, raised his eyelids and looked at Luo Ya in front of him: "Is this why you called us here?"
Roya nodded.
"So is there any way to be sure? You should be clear that the plan is at a critical moment, and we don't have that much energy to spread to other aspects."
"I'm afraid there is no way, but I have to remind you that this is not just the power of the origin. You should also be clear that he is also the only person who has seen that thing." Luo Ya looked around everyone calmly and spoke slowly.
This sentence seemed to have an effect, and everyone sitting still became quiet.
The fat man turned around, "But we have lost one chance. Is there still a chance?"
The old man turned his eyes to Luo Ya, "Since it's your idea, let's talk."
Luo Ya was confident, "The sudden military exercise was very suspicious. I guess someone helped them behind their backs, but unfortunately I couldn't catch the other party's handle. But I could help for a while, but I had already obtained some information and roughly guessed where they were going next."
"Which place is?"
Luo Ya spoke up and said a place name.
The atmosphere seemed to be a little strangely quiet, leaving only the sound of bonfire peeling.
The old man pondered for a moment and asked again: "Is the information reliable?"
"There has never been anything completely reliable in this world," Loya replied coldly: "But this is the information provided by those people-"
The old man narrowed his eyes: "Those people...?"
Roya nodded.
The fourteen people on the sofa looked at each other, but did not agree.
Only the fat man showed a reluctant look on his face, "...but he is going to fight against the military again? Have you forgotten how he almost exposed the last time that the Dragon Fire Guild was still alive."
The fat man was chattering, but a sound like a layer of ice suddenly interrupted him, "People who want to quit can quit."
Luo Ya looked at everyone with a cold look, "Just think about the consequences and think about the consequences of those betrayers."
The fat man shivered and his face turned pale: "...I didn't say that, but you haven't done anything good recently, right? You only know what you did in Xingmen Port."
Luo Ya stood quietly, looking at the fat man, and forced the other party back little by little with a terrible calm gaze.
Finally, he spoke lightly:
"That has nothing to do with you."
"you--!"
"Okay," the middle-aged man who had not spoken, like a stone statue, said again: "Don't talk about these useless things. Everyone is very precious. Let's just talk about it. What should I do?"
Luo Ya then withdrew her gaze and replied directly: "It's very simple, I need to mobilize Huiying."
"Gray Shadow?" The fat man took a breath of air: "What should I do if you mobilize that thing to do in the direction of Rainbow Bay? What's more, mobilizing the joint fleet... requires the approval of the alliance..."
"I've got the approval," Roya bent down and pulled out a page from the stack of information on the short table. "It's very simple. The other party is a person on the gray list. We just need to go through the open channel."
He put the page on the short table and replied lightly: "Everyone, what I want to say is to use the cattle knife to kill chickens, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
Everyone was silent.
But after a while, they nodded one after another.
...
Fang Yu looked at Luo Yu a little surprised, and even his voice covered the bitter cold wind:
"What, uncle and aunt want to see me?"
The girl Tianlan chattered and couldn't hide any secrets, let alone this was not a secret. He had heard from the other party that Luo Yu's parents were also the candidates.
Although the two were not top-notch, they were also somewhat famous among the candidates. With their influence, Luo Yu was sent to the youth training camp of the Oak Knights.
Although Luo Yu had not mentioned this in person, Ji Ta accidentally mentioned it two or three times-Luo Yu's parents seemed to have high requirements for him.
His parents were freely selected and planned for him the Oak Knights' origins, and they naturally hoped that their sons could become better than their own foundation.
Luo Yu did not disappoint them for a time, and showed extraordinary talent in the youth training camp. If the Oak Knights were based on the original development trajectory, it would not be impossible to go to the Second World.
But his parents have retired for many years and have returned to Earth, why did they suddenly arrive in Aitalia again and still want to see him? Fang Yu couldn't help but wonder if he was too popular recently, which made them want to meet his son's somewhat famous team leader?
This is not something he boasts about. Since the Battle of Kailanao, the seven-sea brigade's popularity in the community has been greatly increased, and there is a huge battle of 1 to 33 - even he only found out afterwards that the hunting party sent a luxurious lineup of 33 sailboats.
However, three ships were sunk and two ships were injured. The Seven Seas Traveler was unscathed and crossed the blockade line in a swagger, leaving no chance to pursue the other party.
The glory of this battle is even comparable to some of Loofah's previous famous battles, but what was somewhat beyond Fang Yu's expectations was that no one would discuss the Dragon Alchemist after this battle.
Because everyone is speculating about who the alchemist on the ship is, some people suspect it is Ming, because it is rumored online that Ming once taught him something.
Some people directly point their guess at the teacher who has never appeared before.
He did have such a teacher, but the other party was not a craftsman. What made Fang Ling speechless was that no one thought that the person who took action at that time was him.
Indeed, how is it possible?
However, does Luo Yu's parents want to meet him as the leader, which means that they have recognized his ability to a certain extent? Fang Yu couldn't help but feel a little imaginative.
However, Luo Yu was still taciturn and nodded.
Fang Zhu looked up at the direction of the port. After the military escorted them through the Old Ladder, it was the last port to enter the cloud sea.
This place is actually located in Ishurien and is a branch in the north of Mount Elderon. However, they did not pass through the Mount Holy Mountain, but instead walked through the Howling Passage for safety considerations.
This is the port of the dwarves. Although they still have a wanted order from the Korlins, the dwarves cooperate closely with the military and can turn a blind eye to them.
They will do their final supply here, and then head to Hengfeng Harbor, which is their last two destinations before arriving at Rainbow Sky Gorge.
He withdrew his gaze from the snow-capped mountain like a blade, and then asked again: "Did uncle and aunt say where do you plan to meet us?"
"In Gula." Luo Yu replied.
Fang Ling thought about it. Gula was a neutral port, and they could indeed dock there, and it was the sphere of influence of the Oak Knights in the past.
He waved to the forest not far away: "Praise, please take the map over."
Forest Lizan nodded to him from afar, and brought the roaring map over in the wind and snow.
They and Ms. Kuisu and her group arrived at this place directly through the southern border across the Nevard Trail. The Qihai Traveler had greeted them in advance before heading north, and the two sides agreed to meet here.
Mr. Limestone naturally arrived, and Tianlan and Ai Xiaoxiao surrounded Mr. Limestone who had not seen for a long time and were very happy, but the latter only mooed happily when he saw Miss Aitela.
Fang Zhu spread the map and drew a few lines on it: "...After leaving Elderon, we have to send Miss Betty and the others to the vicinity of Golander, but fortunately, it seems that it is basically the same route. Then we take the way from there and go north and return to Rainbow Gorge. If we want to see our uncle and aunt, it will take at least one or two weeks."
He looked at Luo Yu and asked, "Is it okay?"
Luo Yu nodded only, but still frowned.
"Why do you look unhappy, Luo Yu?" Fang Yu couldn't help asking, "This is not a big deal. You don't have to worry about it at all. They are your parents, and you are a member of the Qihai Brigade, so it's natural that they want to ask to see me."
He patted the other person on the shoulder, "And it won't take much time. After meeting Mr. Mazak and others, we will go to the Treasure Staff Coast and then we can consider how to get tickets to the Second World. Your parents have high requirements for you, but we have higher requirements for the Seven Seas Brigade, right?
