Gox, the president of the Death Arrival Guild, picked up the signal amplifier from the ground, stared silently at the vast black pine forest, and remained silent for a while.
Nearly a group of people were lost, a fast spinning boat, and in the end, he didn't even catch a hair on the other side. The only information he got was that the other side might have a ship, a two-masted fast sailboat equipped with a wind element shield.
"Pick it down and analyze its making method." He handed the signal amplifier in his hand to the alchemist in the guild and ordered. But in fact, it is better than nothing. This kind of thing is very common in the hands of craftsmen. It has long formed a standardized process, and it is difficult to analyze the characteristics of the person who made it from personal characteristics.
"President, the Shadow's message," one person brought the latest information ahead, "They have arrived at the previous position of battle. The wind element detector shows that the target is sailing south, at least twenty miles away. The opponent's speed is amazing, at least fifteen knots. I'm afraid that none of our ships can catch up, and it is not possible to drive a fast sailboat.
In addition, about fifteen people were lost on the spinnaker, and several missing uncertainties. They assessed the situation of the ship, but were not optimistic. Fortunately, the sailors on the Deret fleet saved our people.
"Deduct the Deger team," Gox replied, "ask them in detail about the situation of the battle."
The man must have left, and the vice president who was standing beside him said, "We may have to turn to the people of Iron Thorn Academy."
Gox shook his head and said, "The people from Iron Thorn Academy can't help. Only the ships of the Imperial Navy can catch up with a 15-chamber fast sailboat. Even if we really find such a fast ship, the other party doesn't know where to escape. The key is that we have too little information..."
Two-masted brisk sailboats, such a type is everywhere in Aitalia. Do they want to detain every such ship?
As long as the other party does not expand, outsiders cannot see it.
"Can it be S.O.L.I.D or a fraternity?" the latter asked.
"It's unlikely," Gox still denied, "S.O.L.I.D and the fraternity people entered our sphere of influence, and it's impossible for them to not notice it. But this is a way, just report it, anyway, the other party is heading towards the empire, so that those people will have a headache."
"Where are we, let's just forget about this mission?"
"Of course not," the former gritted his teeth, "We also entered the empire and went to meet with the people of the General Association. Since the death came to its founding, no one could swallow this tone."
"I'm just worried about the Principality."
"Don't worry," Gox said disdainfully, "What are the stinky fish and rotten shrimps in the dream? The people from the Iron Thorn Academy look at it. They dare not fight in the Duchy Kingdom."
The vice president glanced at him and nodded silently. Of course, he understood in his heart that this trip was not just for revenge, but that the mission itself was also very important. If the guild was out of this, he would have to be an outsider after the future was accomplished.
...
But the Qihai Traveler actually did not go south directly into the imperial border as they expected.
Instead, he sailed west for nearly thirty miles until the signal source behind the wind element detector completely disappeared, and then he sailed eastward.
This time they even approached less than ten miles from Tagri again, flying above the village they had passed before entering Tagri. Unfortunately, it was not clear at the early morning and the village was silent.
Otherwise, everyone could see if the villagers had repaired the big machine.
Then the Qihai Traveler's name turned south again. At this time, the other party's attention should have been completely led to the border by them, and the Duchy Kingdom looked unprepared.
They could take the "Wind Gorge Route" leisurely, enter the empire's homeland from the gate of the Empire - Ravendur - Ronor, and finally arrive at the destination of the Magic's Land, Ayin Brock, the "City of Steel".
It is also the hometown of the great alchemist Ed, the place where the other party came to this world and left this world.
The holy land of alchemy.
It is also the location of the mobile fortress ‘Mobius’, the headquarters of the Craftsman Association.
It is said that this fortress designed by Ed himself became the front line for humans to resist the invasion of giants in the Esorin disaster, and was severely damaged in that war and lost its ability to move.
After that, it stayed at Ayinblock.
Or to be precise, the Oshy people later built the magic city with it as the center.
And that is also one of the largest magical structures designed in human history. As a fortress of war, as its title, this fortress is the size of a small town.
Although ‘Mobius’ has been damaged for nearly a thousand years, it still stands firm to this day. After years of repairs by alchemists, people can still see its majestic style even a thousand years later.
After the war, it became the headquarters of the Craftsman Association, a transcontinental institution established by alchemists.
Although the Craftsman Association does not have a clear governing relationship between the general associations of each continent, it divides countries and regions to communicate equally and communicates with each other.
However, as the first craftsman association established in the history of alchemists, the Oshu Craftsman Association is obviously more special and respected in the Craftsman Association.
In fact—
It is the pilgrimage place in the minds of all alchemists on the continent.
Square leopard is naturally no exception.
Before he came to this world, he had heard stories from many places about the great alchemist Ed and his students, the first generation of alchemists in history, and the first human cities they built.
How was the empire established? How did the Aoshu people ignite the fire of civilization belonging to mortals from the wilderness. They forged sailboats, armed mortals with magic furnaces, defeated extraordinary creatures with their bodies, and laid the strongest empire on the continent in one fell swoop.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Aoshu Empire.
This is the hometown of magic technology, the birthplace of alchemy, the kingdom of miracles, and the names of countless legends belong to this mortal empire. It is the pride of mortals and the birthplace of civilization.
But that only belongs to the former glory of the Oshy people.
The empire has declined. In a thousand years, hundreds of dynasties were born on this ancient land, with the longest stretching for hundreds of years, and the shortest being only a few decades, or even a few years.
Countless great rulers once ruled the land and looked at this ancient country with their eyes, but the great people left one by one, leaving only a few records in history.
The royal power does not exist forever, and dynasties change, but a thousand years later, the empire of the Aoshu people still exists.
For Aitalia, that was almost an immortal name.
It was old, but also new. The empire had just experienced the rule of Stuart IV and completed the change of new and old royal powers nine years ago. The previous tyrant injected some new vitality into this ancient empire and realized the revival of the empire with new magic techniques.
The Aoshu people hated him because of his strict and high-pressure rule, heavy taxes, endless military service, labor service, war and severe criminal law.
But the Oshu people also commemorated him.
It is because during the sixty years of reign of this monarch, he swept away the decline of the empire since Auretoise VII for nearly two hundred years, and brought this ancient name back to its position that it should belong.
In the past half century, the magic technology of the Empire has returned to its peak with the help of the summoners. The alchemists of the Oshu Craftsman Association have also proved the glory of the Empire in one craftsman competition after another.
The Empire opened up the territory of the Second World and gained a foothold there, and seized the richest land in the vast world from the coalition forces of Kaorin-Ishurien and the Hill of the Giant Trees.
The abundant materials and countless wealth that were transported back from another world flowed into the empire, and everything seemed to be moving towards a prosperous direction.
The legendary revival of the Aoshu Empire has become one of the most dazzling events in Aitalia in nearly two centuries.
Even the seven magician families that had been sluggish for hundreds of years in the empire seemed to have begun to shine against the backdrop of the empire's revitalization, defeating the magicians of the Duchy of the Deer, who had been in the past hundred years, in one fell swoop.
Their pace is more than that. With the newly developed magic technique, the magicians of the empire began to expand their influence and established a wide reputation in several cross-continental exchanges.
And now that great monarch has passed away.
The new king has been in power for nearly ten years and has begun to hold his own authority and implement a new round of new policies. However, for the Oshu people, they have not yet emerged from the influence of that powerful monarch.
It's just that I've just begun to adapt to this new era.
These are all Fang Yu knew about the Aoshu Empire before entering the Star Gate.
In addition to the knowledge related to the first division, he also knew that for nearly a century, since the implementation of technological innovation, the empire's magic skills have always been the best in Aitalia.
Although some of those technologies have spread to other craftsmen associations, the Osseys have always mastered the most core secrets. The magical skills that are superior to Aitalia have made them ahead of other countries and regions in all aspects of main battleships, magical structures, and even individual combat equipment, artillery technology.
During the Kapuka Craftsmen Association, Fang Yu heard various legends about the Oshu people, not only the other party's alchemists, but also the strength of the caller in the Craftsman Competition.
There are also many war reports sent back from the Second World.
The Kaolin-Ishurian Alliance and the wood elves of the giant tree hill formed a coalition in the Second World, but they also lost more and won less against the above Austrians. They often heard the news that one of the two sides, or that the coalition forces of both sides suffered a great loss in the turbid realm.
These news circulated very little among ordinary people, but the information from the Craftsman Association is very well-versed.
Fortunately, in the past ten years, the second-level candidates have emerged in many talented people, surpassing the first-level candidates, and are called a glorious decade. In addition, the third-level candidates have the strength of the first-level candidates, second only to the first two-level candidates.
Only when the two united together with the indigenous peoples worked together to block the steps of the Aoshu people.
But now.
The second division is no longer glory, and the glory of the past seems to be difficult to maintain...
Fang Yu shook his head gently and threw these thoughts out of his mind.
After all, compared to these profound things, he is more concerned about the present.
I have longed for this Ausshu Empire for a long time. After all, this was once the hometown of the great alchemist and also had the most advanced magic skills of the world.
But now, this information is bad news for him.
After all, the qualification for the Craftsman Competition is the ticket to the Seven Seas Brigade Group to enter the Second World.
In the past ten years, except for Loofah's class, the qualifications of the top three craftsmen competitions were almost completely controlled by the imperialists. Even in the top ten, most of them were imperialists.
Otherwise, how could His Majesty, the stubborn king of the Kaurin, stop at asking them to enter the top ten?
But is it that easy to enter the top ten?
The craftsman skills of Kaurin-Ishurien have long lagged behind the empire. The alchemists of the Ishurien Craftsman Association are in the craftsman competition, as if they are competing with the forefront alchemists with textbooks from ten years ago.
How easy is this?
The top candidates in the second division beat the Empire back then because the giant tree hill and Kaorin-Ishurien joined forces with the Empire in the Second World.
Behind this is actually the shaping and division of the forms of forces in the second world.
Which top candidate was not cultivated with massive resources?
But in the first world, this is the absolute home court of the empire.
Before Loofah made his mark, he only won the top three finals in the First World Craftsman Competition. Although the first and second-place alchemists were not as good as hers later, this did not prevent the other party from overwhelming the former in the First World Newcomer stage.
After all, the second world belongs to the second world, and the newcomer stage belongs to the newcomer stage.
Loofah was only valued after he made his mark, thus gaining more resources and achieving success after that.
For the Aoshu people, due to the abundant resources they occupy, the trickle-drop effect allows the lower-level conscripts to allocate more benefits.
There is not much essential difference in the distribution system of different countries, but the candidates of the empire are stronger than other regions in the era of newcomers.
Fang Ling knew his own affairs. The Seven Seas Brigade had many adventures, otherwise they would not have been able to reach this point today.
But when it comes to the basic resources you have mastered, I may not be as good as Loofah of the past. After all, before leaving the Rose Crusade, the latter was a first-line player from the major guild.
If he wants to get results in the Craftsman Competition, he can only take one step at a time. What he wants is to first observe the level of the candidates of this generation of empires.
Fortunately, he is not completely supportive.
Judging from the exchanges between him and the president of the Tagri Craftsmen Association, at least the ancient alchemy he mastered also has unique advantages compared to the Oshu people.
After all, the Kaurin-Ishurien Craftsmen Association is not completely following the steps. They and the second division's callers also obtained a lot of good things from the second world.
The only problem is that I had good luck in the southern border - or, now I think about it, maybe An Luoshe guessed the questions for the exam in the Craftsman Competition in advance and helped him beat the questions.
But it is still unknown whether this Craftsman Competition final will compete in ancient alchemy.
Fang Rong could only hope that he would be better in his heart, after all, this was related to the ticket to the Second World of Qihai Traveler.
The sound of sky blue came outside—
Fang Zhu looked not far away.
Silvede was drawing a route from the gate of the Empire to Ravendur on the map. In front of it, it might be their first stop to the Empire and the first city of the Empire they really want to see.
The shipmaster's general estimate was that it would take only one day to reach that place after passing through the Gate of the Empire. At that time, the people from the Death Guild might still be circled around the border of the Empire.
The sound of the sky blue outside the door became louder and louder, and I didn’t know what I was yelling.
In order to prevent the other party from disturbing the ship's maid who was thinking, Fang Yu signaled to the other party to go out and see what happened to the little girl Tianlan.
Silvede then raised his head, smiled at him, and nodded.
Square purse pushed the door out.
But before he could speak, he saw Tianlan running towards him, almost rushing to his arms. Fang Yu was so scared that he hurriedly stopped him with his hands.
Before Tianlan could stop, he hurriedly said to the other party:
"Brother Ed, you're coming out just in time. Go and see, there's someone down there!"
"Somebody below?"
Fang Zhu was stunned
But Tianlan had already pulled him to the side of the ship and looked down. Sure enough, he saw two people on the avenue, waving their hands hard toward the Qihai Traveler.
The Qihai Traveler was at a height of several hundred meters at the moment. The figure below looked as small as two black dots, but Fang Yu looked closely and recognized the identities of the two people - they were actually Yayue and his companions.
"Why are they?"
Fang Yu was stunned. Although the Qihai Traveler came back from the border and returned to the vicinity of Tagri, he threw away all the people who came to the guild. But there were at least fifteen empty spaces away from Tagri, how could these two people be here?
Could it be that the people of the Death Arrival Guild determined the location of the Qihai Traveler through methods they didn't know? After all, this is not impossible. After all, Aitalia is a magical world.
Fang Yu didn't dare to say that he should know everything about every magical power in this world.
He was worried about something he didn't know about, so he quickly asked the Qihai Traveler to lower the height and then took the two people below to the boat. As soon as he got on the boat, Fang Yu discovered that the two of them were planning to travel far away, not only wearing the travel suits commonly used by adventurers, but also carrying a huge luggage.
"You guys are…?"
Fang Ling was stunned when she saw the two of them, thinking that it was the person who came to see the two of them coming to inform them, and then planned to take revenge on them? That's why they had to leave Tagri?
But unexpectedly, Yayo said with an excited look: "I didn't expect to meet you here again, Mr. Ed, we are so lucky. Fortunately, when I went to inform Mr. Reed and others, I saw your ship, and I wouldn't recognize you."
"Didn't you escape?" Fang Yu became more and more confused as he heard it.
"Escape?" Yayo was stunned, "Of course not, why should we escape?"
The other party suddenly reacted and shook his head quickly and said, "We didn't escape, Mr. Ed. After hearing what you said, we finally made up our minds to go outside and take a look."
"Go outside and take a look?" Fang Yu recalled where he was going in this direction, "You are going to the Empire?"
"Yes," Yayo replied, "In fact, we had this idea very early, but we had not been able to do it. It was Mr. Ed who gave us the motivation to fulfill this wish. As you said, what is the point of staying in this small place in Tagri? Only after we go further and see a wider world can we realize the alchemy in our minds."
Fang Yu then realized that he didn't expect that his words would make such a fuss. However, he did not object to the two of them, and only asked if they had told the Tagri Craftsmen Association about this.
If these two guys ran out overnight and the Craftsmen Association investigated and found that two people were missing, wouldn’t they have a big fuss?
After receiving a positive answer, Fang Yu felt relieved. Since Qihai Traveler had to go to the empire, he simply asked whether the two of them would go together.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! After all, the Tagri Craftsmen Association and these two young people have helped them a lot before, so he doesn't mind reciprocating.
And Yayo had the same plan as he had, so he agreed happily.
"Mr. Ed," Yayo asked at this time, "Are you planning to go to Ravendur in this direction?"
"Yes, we had left the people from the Death Arrival Guild west before, and then we were planning to go to Ravendur. But we didn't plan to stay there, what about you?" Fang Zhu asked.
"We plan to go to the imperial capital first, and then go to the holy land in the minds of the alchemists, the capital of steel, Ayon Bullock." Yayo suddenly reacted, "Mr. Ed, you plan to take the 'Wind Gorge Route', and you also want to go to the Ronor area to see which city of steel?"
He slapped his forehead and suddenly realized, "Yes, why am I so stupid? Mr. Ed, you are a high-level alchemist from Kaurin-Ishurien. Of course, you have to go to Ayinblock first, where now..."
Seeing that the other party had guessed it, Fang Yu didn't intend to hide it and nodded directly: "You guessed it was a craftsman competition."
"Mr. Ed, are you a contestant?"
Fang Zhu nodded.
"That's great," Yajo's eyes lit up. "We have not seen the grand occasion of the Craftsman Competition. If Mr. Ed doesn't mind, we want to go to that city of steel with you. I think with Mr. Ed's ability, at least he should be able to win the top three championships, right?"
The young man looked expectant: "I really want to see the situation. When I return to Tagri in the future, I can brag to others that I have traveled with the winner of the Alchemy Competition."
Fang Yu couldn't help but laugh and cry after hearing this. This guy was confident in him.
However, indeed, according to the tradition of the craftsman competition, as long as it enters the top three, it can be called the winner, so Loofah is also one of the winners of her class.
Yayo was not wrong.
He looked at the other party's enthusiasm and was not easy to refute. Instead, he felt aroused in his heart and nodded vigorously:
"Okay, then we'll go to Aiyin Bullock together."
Go and meet the legendary city.
Chapter completed!
