"It's true that there was something happening," said the girl at the front desk of the Nordspits Adventurers Guild, pushing her glasses and saying to them. "I can't remember whether it was more than half a year ago or a year ago. In short, the people of the Imperial Geological Society commissioned the Craftsmen Association to survey the seepage conditions in the underground mining area, and the magic gathering was abnormal. As a result, the Craftsmen Association seemed to have found something underground in the mining area, and that incident alarmed the Imperial Workshop. Finally, they followed the old example of the technical recycling order and handed over the things... The Nordspits Craftsmen Association and the craftsman also received a bonus for this. It's strange that no one has mentioned the technical recycling order for many years. I thought that the thing was invalid."
Not long after Bai Jia and the special operations team left, Fang Yu led everyone from the Seven Seas Brigade to Nordspitz. He was originally worried about the transfer of suspects from Aiyin Brock. After all, the Super Sports League in the first division was silent, which was really unsettling.
But unexpectedly, the whole process went smoothly. Bai Jia and her special operations team members took the people to board the ship and left Aiyin Bullock. When Fang Zhu received the last time he heard from each other, they had already arrived at Faxiu. There was a fleet escort from Xingmen Port in the second division, so it was almost impossible for another accident.
The next step is to send the suspect to Kaurin-Ishurien, and then return to Star Gate and Earth. He is unknown what form the final judgment will take, and that is not the scope he can understand, but Su Changfeng told him that he might be prosecuted for espionage.
The first division has not spoken out yet, but it will definitely protest.
However, Su Changfeng believed that this matter was of little significance to be diplomatic. The suspect was the candidate of the first division, but he did appear in Elpaxin and could not explain his motives in Angina's realm of truth.
Especially the latter article is enough to illustrate many problems. This is not the time when the super competition was in full swing thirty or forty years ago. Many things that have happened in Aitalia can be used as a prescribed example. There have been many cases across the two worlds every year in recent years, and countries and the public are already very familiar with this.
"If the case is confirmed, the pattern of Star Gate may change a lot," Su Changfeng said to him in the communication. "But the outside world has little to do with you. You only need to care about the changes in the domestic pattern. I will notify you at that time. In terms of super competitive aspects, we may have to argue with the Americans, and the EU and the Russians may not be involved.
Fang Zhu nodded.
He could vaguely hear that the officials of Xingmen Port in various countries seemed to have long been dissatisfied with the current structure of the Super Competitive Alliance.
In the early era when the Star Gate was open to ordinary people, the free caller was actually the mainstream of the caller. Half a century ago, the first generation of free caller entered the Star Gate and opened a glorious era that belonged to them, which was also the pioneer in people's mouth.
But later, the super competitive emerged, in the name of the caller and the standardization of competition and cooperation as a reason, countries jointly established today's super competitive alliance. The original intention of the alliance was to trigger further conflicts and reasonably standardize the further peaceful development of Star Gate to avoid the recurrence of the old stories in Aitalia a century ago.
For this reason, the Super Sports Alliance inherited the glory of the first generation of pioneers and promoted the concept of realizing dreams through the Star Gate to a deep level. In the early days of the post-Star Gate era, such promotion did trigger a craze for the development of Star Gate. On the one hand, it created a large number of jobs, and on the other hand, it also released some of the population pressure on the earth.
That era was also the era when countries cooperated the most closely together.
In the era of the second generation of pioneers, the development of the Star Gate was in full swing. The Second World was discovered in this era, pushing the exploration of Aitalia to a climax. It was also the golden era. The candidates gained a lot of halos, and the stars shining in history almost became heroes of mankind.
But the expansion of super competition is endless. Especially when commercialization is too deeply rooted in people's hearts, the living space of the Free Caller Guild is getting smaller and smaller, and instead there are more and more candidates in the alliance, which in a sense deprives the Star Gate Agency of the power.
At the same time, the alliance rules have become more complex and bloated.
Those rules that were originally used to rationalize competition and develop star gates later became means for some people to consolidate their own interests, and even used them to do evil. Fang Zhun has not seen too many such things over the past year.
Such a situation will naturally arouse dissatisfaction among the Star Gate Agency of various countries. However, the main structure of the alliance is based on the United Nations two centuries ago. Before several players on the table made up their minds to change the rules, others naturally could only wait and see.
Now almost everyone has suffered losses under the current framework. When there are only the only players who make profits on the table, the idea of ​​overturning the original structure has gradually become the mainstream, and people's minds have changed. At present, the signs are just beginning to show, but the period of change will come soon.
The person who knows the most about this in the group is Luo Hao.
Although this guy has been restrained a lot recently, he still remains unchanged from his true nature as a party member.
He often makes long comments on domestic actions against alliances, gives advice, and even makes unremarkable comments. For example, he looks down on Americans' short-sightedness in this matter:
"As the main builders of the framework, they should be the biggest beneficiaries of this framework. They should have been the maintainers of the framework, rather than killing chickens and taking eggs, foolishly extorting the final value of the framework."
"Once the conflict begins, it is not easy to say who will be the final winner. But the first competition area will definitely pay a thousand times the maintenance cost. No, maybe the title of competition area will become history. If everything returns to the former Star Gate era, the development of Star Gate may be reversed-"
"Can you imagine such a situation?"
"What's that," the Paparals disagree with this, "If there is no Star Gate, the Earth will be destroyed?"
He didn't want to see something happening like that, he was just born with a stubborn voice.
But Luo Hao was not worried that someone would argue with him, he was reluctant to do so.
When he was chatting and laughing in the community, the Paparals might not even register their account. Such weak rebuttals only made him even more excited. "I knew someone would say that there was no Star Gate two centuries ago, and everyone still lived the same life. This statement is very common among opponents of the Star Gate proposal. But today is different from the past. The binding between our world and this world is too deep. Without talking about the technical exchanges that maintain Star Gate, do you know how many people on Earth rely on for their lives today?"
The Paparals certainly don't know.
After all, Luo Hao is known as a humanoid database in this regard, and it is no problem to quote scriptures. Unfortunately, what made Fang Rong feel a little helpless was that it would be great if the other party put his leisure time on the Qihai Brigade. Isn’t there a data analyst missing in the group?
Unfortunately, Luo Hao has no interest in other guilds.
However, although this fat man from the military was alarmist, Fang Yu felt that what the other party said was true. To be honest, he was not very clear about why the Super Athletic League was so aggressive. It would be fine if he only went deep into the commercialization and liberalization of the Star Gate, but the incident that happened in the northern border of Kaorin-Ishurien was undoubtedly crossing the line.
And it also gave other competition areas a clear statement.
Why is the other party acting so anxious?
Fang Yu couldn't see clearly what was happening on the earth, or the things were too high and the information he had too little, so he could not guess boldly, because the possibilities hidden behind were really shocking.
Some people collude with cultists in the Super Athletic League, and the fact that cultists can cross the Star Gate and move on Earth is not a secret for him now-
But is this the will of some people, or is it the support of higher-level forces behind it? Otherwise, this would not be explained by what Luo Hao said. How could the first division look at the league and do what he does? Fang Yu vaguely feels that things are not that simple.
However, the forces that countries want to shrink in the Star Gate seem to be not too small. According to his understanding, the development of the Star Gate will not only not weaken, but will further increase investment, on the one hand, in order to cope with the arrival of the third disaster star.
On the other hand, he also vaguely felt that the Star Gate institutions in various countries seemed to have other considerations.
He faintly smelled a little bad breath.
And this is the source of his sense of urgency.
"Is that craftsman who found something still in the Nordspits Craftsmen Association?" Fang Yu pulled back his thoughts and asked the little girl, "Can you find a way to contact him?"
He said, taking out something and putting it in front of the other side.
"Imperial Cross!" The little girl was startled, "...but you are not an imperialist, ah... I recognize you, you, Ayon Blok's Dragon Alchemist!" She became a little respectful and looked at Fang Ling carefully, "I understand. I heard that you have received awards at the Imperial Workshop... You must have studied the thing they sent to investigate the relevant matters. It's no wonder that some people have come here in the past few months."
Although the little girl from the Adventurer Guild was respectful, she said a lot, chattering like a little tit.
She looked at Fang Ling as if she was looking at something rare.
Fang Yu had nothing to say for a moment.
But he didn't expect that he was so famous in the empire. In less than a month, even in the border areas of an empire like Nordspitz, someone could recognize his identity with a cross stamp. But what does Ayin Brock's Dragon Alchemist say?
When did you change the competition area?
The little girl looked cautious, and she was eager to try it out, constantly using chores to test him about what happened in the Mainland League and the arbitration tribunal. She looked like a curious baby, which made Fang Yu couldn't help but feel speechless.
He even thought of Tianlan for a moment.
Unfortunately, the girl is now in the process of being confined to Ayinblock. Since bidding farewell to Big Catman and Aytira, Heerxi has captured Miss Poet again, which is basically in a state of confinement.
"Okay," he sighed, interrupting the other party, "There are other people here to investigate the mining area in the past few months?"
"That's a lot, respected Lord Alchemist of Dragons," said the little girl exaggeratedly, "not only the members of the Craftsmen Association, but also many people have come to the Imperial Workshop, the Mobius Mobile Fortress, and even the Geology Society. They are just looking for someone to take them to the mining area. If you want to find the craftsman back then, you may be disappointed. Someone took him to the mine a few days ago..."
"People who learn geology?"
Fang Zhu was stunned.
He could understand whether it was the Nordspitz Craftsmen Association, the Imperial Workshop, or even people always came. After all, it was difficult for others not to be curious about it if even a great alchemist was so tight.
Although he was not sure what the Aoshun was studying that magic furnace, since the empire craftsman masters attached so much importance to it, it was understandable that they sent people to investigate whether they could find new clues in the mining area.
He was originally worried that the Imperial Workshop would block the mining area, but after asking, it was fine, but it was not. It seemed that the Imperials had found nothing after investigating there for a year and a half years, and there were no new clues, so they lost their patience.
But this is both good news and bad news for him. The good news is that he can investigate quietly by himself, so that he will not attract so many interested people's attention. But the bad news is that since the Imperial people have all their strength, they cannot find any clues, and it may not be very likely that he will gain something from Nordspitz this time.
Fortunately, Fang Yushi planned to take advantage of this short vacation to see him, and he didn't expect to gain something. More importantly, Miss Tata accompanied him with him, and Miss Fairy was closely connected with Zero Crystal, so she might be able to find something for him.
"Yes," the girl nodded, "You are not a native of Nordspits, and you may not be sure that the mine area was closed many years ago. Due to excessive use of groundwater, many mines have undergone different degrees of settlement. People from the Craftsman Association and the Geology Society have been trying to solve the problem, but for some reason, there is serious seepage under the mine... "
"There are also magical abnormalities gathering," she took out a booklet and turned to one of the pages. "Look, I'm not lying to you. About a year and a half ago, abnormalities began to appear under the mineway. Not only was the magical pipeline damaged, but the Ethernet veins below were also disordered... Some monsters even rush out from the ground, and attacking the miners happened..."
"After the mining area was closed, Nordspits became much deserted, and everyone went to other places to make a living. However, since the monsters appeared, it has become lively here again, with many adventurers from other places, and Lords of the Saints like you."
Fang Rong had a headache when she heard her nagging. Nordspitz was built on a silver mine area. It was the largest silver mine area in the empire a century ago, but the veins had not dried up yet, and many problems occurred underground. One aspect was that the groundwater level dropped, resulting in the settlement of the mine channel.
There are mature solutions to this problem on earth today, so the conveners of the Craftsman Association and the people from the Geology Society joined forces to go deep into the mining area to solve the problem. As a result, the problem was not solved, which caused new trouble.
He glanced at the booklet and saw that there were many commissions on the mines. For example, rescued miners, or retrieved the missing candidates who left the craftsman association a few days ago in the mines, even cleaning up monsters, dealing with collapses, drainage, etc.
However, he was stunned when he saw the illustration of the monsters depicted in the booklet.
Isn't this a terrestrial element?
The creature that looks like a pile of rolling stones is the earth element living under the floating continent. It is a type of elemental creatures. Elemental creatures are one of the most peculiar creatures in Aitalia. In fact, there is no conclusion on the earth about what kind of biological phyla that defines them.
But earth elements generally only live in the central area of ​​the floating continent. Could it be that the imperialists dug through the Sintaan? Otherwise, how could the earth elements that lived at a depth of several thousand meters underground appear on the surface?
Fang Yu was puzzled, but after asking the details carefully, an idea suddenly arose in his mind. He remembered what the military told him, and his expression sank slightly. The girl beside him was shocked when she saw his expression changing:
"Sir Alchemist..."
"It's not your business," Fang Rong shook her head, and then asked about the craftsmen who went to the mining area. The craftsmen registered in the Craftsman Association are rarely invited by others because they usually have fixed jobs locally and enjoy the allowance of the empire.
The reason he took out the cross chapter before was to show his relationship with the Imperial Workshop. The other party said that someone took the craftsman to the mining area, and he suspected that it was the Imperial Workshop or the Mobius Association in this place.
If this is the case, he would have to be careful when he went to the mining area to investigate.
Especially in the current situation, he didn't want the imperial people to know what connection there was between him and the Star Device.
But the little girl shook her head, "That's not the case. If it were people from the Empire Workshop or the Artisan Association, I would definitely remember clearly that they have been here many times in the past few months. But if I read correctly, I should be the Lord of the Selected One, just like you."
"Selected?"
Fang Zhu was slightly stunned.
How could the summoner become interested in that magic furnace? He has been investigating the Star Device and the Zero Magic Warehouse for so long, and has been dealing with the Imperial Craftsmen. The only thing involved is the Seven Magic Family and the Death Arrival Guild.
But the Death Arrival Guild obviously did not know much about Ash Lynn's manuscript, and was just following the commander behind the instructions.
Who is investigating the magic furnace except for himself? Are they coming for the star installation? Or are they coming for the technical route of the zero magic furnace?
Fang Yu's mind suddenly changed many thoughts. He did not expect that his trip to Nordspits would encounter unexpected situations from the beginning. However, if anyone in the Convoy Guild in the Empire is qualified to cooperate with the Empire Workshop and Craftsmen Association and be able to get this level of information from the other party.
I don't think it will surpass those three giants.
Sacramental Guild, Gray Field and Prometheus.
Who will it be?
Fang Yu thought secretly.
Chapter completed!
