Crackling, the campfire burst into a bright spark.

The shadows on the faces of both men at the fire moved slightly, and Tata silently watched as the shards of ash flew upwards in the darkness, and then looked up to see the spark rise to the treetops before disappearing.

There was a half-round blue moon hanging overhead, and a cold silver glow sprinkled on the mountains in the distance.

In the distance there was an owl on a branch, silver-gray feathers, staring motionless in a certain direction. It was pitch black, except for the glow of curly plant hairs, fireflies flying up and down, and the sparkling light of the ancient forest.

Fang Yu completed the last process before he breathed a sigh of relief.

He took a biscuit out of his pocket, snapped a small piece and gave it to her: "It's dinner today." ”

Tata knelt on a dead leaf and looked back at him curiously, "Actually, I can go without eating." ”

"But I always feel weird when I eat alone, and besides, you can't eat much." Fang Yu scratched his head embarrassedly.

"There's no food anymore, right?"

"It's okay, there's always food to be found in the forest."

Miss Fairy held the cookie in both hands, stunned, and lowered her head to take a bite. She chewed it gently, and her cheeks were full of cookie crumbs, and then she wiped it with her fine hands, which was very cute.

"Is it delicious?"

"The taste of sugar, it's sweet."

"Haven't you ever eaten before?" Fang Yu asked curiously.

"Dragon souls don't need to eat." Tata replied, holding the biscuit, looking up at him.

"Huh? …… Could something go wrong then? Fang Yu was a little worried again, suspecting that he had done something stupid.

But Tata shook his head. "No," she replied, "the cookies are nice, thank you." ”

Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

It had been a day and a night since the two of them left the elven ruins.

Judging from the relative position of the Dragon Roaring Mountain Range and the sun during the day, the teleportation array of the Anjina Temple should have teleported them to the south of the Sea of Ancient Trees. Fang Ou thought it should be near Al Pahin - meaning they were already very close to the Rainbow Bay area.

Basically opposite to the direction of the Hidden Springs and Kapka.

Tata agrees with this judgment.

Rainbow Bay is located south of the Sea of Ancient Trees near the Sea of Clouds, and is named after the two floating continents of Tarun and Ichurian, which form a long and curved coastline of the Sea of Clouds.

And since this place is too far away from Kapka, Fang Yu does not plan to return to the area of Rodale. He plans to go to Al Pahin first, the head of the Seven Cities of Rainbow Bay, the center of commerce and trade in the south of Tarun, and the seat of the Sea of Ancient Trees Artisans' Guild.

It was there that he passed the alchemist promotion assessment and then found a way to find a boat to Aquin.

There is a land passage from Aquiin to Port Goland, the capital of the Korin Kingdom, and it only takes half a month to walk. Gorland is the home of the Dawn Star Adventure Groups, where there is a large difference machine at the headquarters of the Kaulin-Ishurian Geography and Explorers Society, which relies on perforated paper tapes to record and store the status of each registered party.

He wanted to see who else had survived the Dawn Star. Did Mr. Quelod, and the others, leave the Dead Silence and escape? Although it is unlikely, the Jeffrey Redcoats even have time to hunt him down, and the others are more likely to be more than lucky.

But even if everyone is gone, he will at least inherit and register the name.

Because he had promised Miss Scapet to keep the Dawn Star alive forever.

As long as he's still in this world for a day—

Of course, Fang Plover also has its own goals.

Becoming a full-fledged alchemist is just one of them, and it's more important to accumulate experience and wealth to prepare for your own floating ship. An adventurous group determined to go to the second world, its floating ship is the bare minimum.

Of course, this goal is a bit too far away.

A miscellaneous ship below the seventh rank is worth at least a million lissels, and such a ship cannot sail far at all. Fang Yuan's target is at least a sixth-class frigate, the kind of warship with flying wing structure has a factory price of tens of millions of lissels in Kaulin-Ishurian, and its limited production is also monopolized by the navy and major guilds of Kaulin-Ishurian, and there is no market for it.

Fang Yuan didn't have much thought about this, he could only take one step at a time, he really couldn't accept the airship with a boat-like structure, after all, going to the second world itself was not an easy thing.

He was never blindly optimistic.

Of course, he also plans to stop by Fenris Island to see the legendary green dragon 'Mageri'. Fenris Island is located in the empty sea between Tarun and Aquiin, just between the shipping lanes, and it is rumored that this dragon is the richest man in the Cloud Sea region and is also the titular vice president of the Karin-Ihurian Craftsmen's Association.

Fang Yu had already heard of this dragon that had had a very interesting experience.

But the most important thing right now is how to get out of this forest.

Fang Yu involuntarily touched his stomach, and after eating the biscuit, it seemed that his hunger was even more obvious. His eyes darkened and he looked up at the deep woodland, which was called 'Egunn', or lowland forest, and because it was located in the lower reaches of the Gorgong River, surrounded by wetlands and swamps, although rich in natural resources, it was also a hundred times more dangerous than the northern part of it.

He and Tata alone would not have been able to get out of this forest under any circumstances.

But luckily he still had some support on his hands, and he picked up the work he had just finished - it was a somewhat dull crystal, waxy white.

In Aitalia, most people think that non-attribute crystals are the most ugly type of crystal, because most of the non-attribute crystals contain impurities, and from the outside, they look like cracked and atomized glass, which is really not pure and crystalline.

But even the most flawed attributeless crystal, compared to this one in Fang Yuan's hand, it will be outstanding. At least they still look crystalline, and the latter is more like a wax column with two pointed ends, and there is no beauty to speak of.

However, this ugly crystal is the most beautiful thing in this world in Fang Yuan's eyes.

This is the original form of α crystal, a type of crystal.

It took him a full four hours to make it, and it only took him ten minutes to make a non-attribute crystal with the 'Elemental Separation' skill. And he used the finished material to make this crystal - the material was a non-attributed crystal removed from the glove, which of course made half of the silver rails on his dial useless.

But it just so happened that he removed the remaining half, leaving only a pair of silver rails.

and the brass dial itself, which he also dismantled.

Tata sat on his knees, also looking at the crystal, his eyes shining with fire. "There are still too many impurities, and the magic power contained is only one-third of the original description at most." She looked at it for a moment and said.

"There's no way," Fang Yu turned around and smiled bitterly: "Whether it's tools or materials, there is only this condition." ”

Tata nodded. "So what is Mr. Knight going to do with it?" She asked again.

"Make a walker," Fang replied, "except for the clockwork elf, that's what I'll only do." Actually, I learned this drawing a long time ago, but I never had a suitable crystal. ”

The Walker is a flexible construct for combat. And as we all know, in the flexible construction, only the clockwork fairy can use the non-attribute crystal, Fang Yuan's words are quite self-talking. But Tata didn't care anyway, and still listened quietly, like a best listener.

Fang Yu opened up the craftsman skill - this was the first time he had made it under the framework of the system, and he was still a little unskilled, and his movements were slightly out of shape. However, this small problem is not difficult for him, after all, this was a hardcore player who used to have no system.

He only meditated for a moment, then projected the shell drawing, and then adjusted the shape little by little, forming a spherical phantom in front of the tower.

"This is the shell of a clockwork elf?" Tata was a bit surprised.

Fang Yu nodded.

Aitalia's artisans aren't rigid – they don't just make a design, they just look like it. In fact, a set of design drawings is composed of multiple parts, as long as the caller has fully interpreted the design drawing, they can choose and match it by themselves.

And Fang Yu has mastered so many drawings in the past few months, and he has long been familiar with them.

There are only two key points in the Pacer build, one is the chassis, which is divided into two types: hexapod system and quadruped system, the two chassis styles determine the maximum combat load of the build, and the second is the core crystal, which determines the maximum output power of the build.

As long as the other components meet these two conditions, it does not matter what shape they are.

Compared to the Clockwork Elf, which focuses on lightweight shells, the Walker's defensive shells are much bulkier, so replacing the latter with the former is not a problem at all, except for the lack of armor considerations.

Then just pay attention to readjust the center of gravity.

Fang Yu methodically brought in a rock that had been prepared in advance and used it as a simple workbench. When a spherical shadow is placed in the center of the workbench and the dismantled dial is placed inside, the brass dial immediately becomes translucent, and many stars appear inside as if it were a universe.

The larger and smaller the light points are actually the material structure of brass, the better the quality and higher the strength of the material structure points, the more the craftsman needs to concentrate on connecting these light points when making, and each time the connection is successful, the production progress will be promoted.

However, if all the structural points have been used, but the production progress has not reached 100%, it means that the material structure has been damaged and the production has failed accordingly. On the contrary, the more surplus structural points left when the production is successful, the higher the durability of the finished product.

Since the dial itself was a finished product that had been made once, most of the structural points on it were dull, and only a few were still usable, Fang Yu couldn't help frowning slightly after looking at it.

He calculated the progress of the production.

The total progress required to craft the Clockwork Elf shell was one hundred and eighty, and with his current craftsmanship skills, he would gain between fifteen and seventeen progress points for each successful connection, and with less than thirteen structural points left on the dial, he basically only had one chance to fail.

Fang Yu took a light breath.

If you can't walk out of this forest, it depends on this Bo. If he fails, he will have to die again, and his smuggler himself will have less starlight, and if he dies again, there will be no chance of resurrection.

So even he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart.

Tata looked at him, then at the dial, opened his mouth, and finally didn't say anything. She was also worried that she would disturb Fang Yuan.

Unexpectedly, Fang Yu spoke first: "Tata, can you see this system?" ”

"Hmm," Tata nodded, "It's a system of information management that is generated by carrier crystals and dragon souls. ”

"Management information—" Fang said, successfully connecting a structural dot as if to understate.

Then the third and the fourth, and it wasn't until the seventh that he failed the first time, but Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

He found that each connection was somewhat like a long-range attack on a structural point. Its landing point is a dispersion range, which does not require 100% hits, and can have a certain error, but the larger the error, the lower the working accuracy of each connection.

Different designs have different minimum process accuracy requirements, and the Clockwork Goblin housing requirements are clearly low.

He felt he could do it with ease.

He immediately went straight to the eighth node, and after succeeding, he went straight to the end in one breath. When the last point of the structure was connected, the square plover finally relaxed, and the shape of the dial had become a polished copper hemispherical shell in his hand.

Fang Plover picked up the shell and carefully examined every inch of it in the glow of the bonfire, and couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

In the past, he was basically only responsible for drawing design and assembling the clockwork elves, after all, the shell and the various parts inside, including the hinge structure, were delicate blacksmith work, which they were not capable of as alchemist apprentices who had only studied for a few months.

But once you have the system, it's completely different.

That's the power of the Elect.

"Mr. Knight is the most gifted alchemist I've ever met." Without saying a word, Tata watched the entire production process and suddenly spoke.

Fang Yu turned his head and asked her curiously, "Have you seen any other alchemists before?" ”

Tata nodded. "I have some memories, but I can't tell if they come from books or my own experiences. But I don't think any alchemist can be so consistent. ”

"Stable?"

"The craftsman system is based on the use of magic to change the internal structure of materials, and it is based on a high-intensity system of spatial analysis and distance judgment, in addition to the attributes and craftsman-related skills can bring a boost, it can only be said that Mr. Knight has an extraordinary talent in this area."

Fang Plover paused for a moment, remembering that Scarpe and Mister Quilrod seemed to have said similar things to him, but the difference was that they were talking about their own manipulation of flexible construction.

He couldn't help but look at his hands, thinking to himself, could he really have a good talent in this area?
