The bright bonfire in the center of the ruins dragged the shadows of the broken walls deep into the ground.

The night sky of the long lake floated with shallow clouds, and a silver-white crescent moon hung quietly above the peaks, silver gray plated on the forest canopy, and the breeze blew, and the rustling of silver waves undulated.

Mr. Limestone, as silent and resilient as his race, stood quietly among the ruins, like a towering silhouette in the light of the campfire. Only a trace of undulating backs is revealed, and the shadow of the platform above it is revealed.

Like a dream, accompanied by Lin Tao's voice, it sneaked into everyone's heart.

The smell of molasses floated in the air, accompanied by the sound of sizzling fat touching hot metal. Attila was using a syrup-filled brush to apply a second layer of sparkling color to the golden shell of the ribs.

The grease mixed with the syrup slowly dripped into the campfire, and suddenly a golden spark lit up.

The syrup was made by Attila cutting through the branches of a low bush nearby, stumbling over some wild honey and adding a dash of vanilla to create a refreshing fragrance.

There is also a bush of matsutake mushrooms, a row of green shrimp, some edible herbs, vetch and summer berries.

Miss Elf can always find the right ingredients in the mountains.

There is no supply point on the way to Idus, and although there is still grain reserves on the platform, in the Long Lake area, where food is abundant, rations can be saved.

That's why they stop and rest.

Fang Yuan, on the other hand, was busy keeping a notebook of the ecology of those plants—they were very different from their counterparts on Earth, but they belonged to the same family. His painting is quite good, but a little slow.

"What kind of tree is that?" He asked Miss Elf.

"Gray raspberry, it changes its traits in the summer, and the pulp will have a sweet taste. In Rotao it is a common condiment. ”

Attila picked off a small piece of meat with a knife and brought it to his lips with a gentle gaze.

Fang Yu wrapped food in his mouth and said vaguely: "Ah, I know this kind of tree. A subspecies of the R. Berry family, a new variety that does not exist on Earth...... Hmm, it's delicious. ”

Tianlan's mouth was pouted, and she looked at the pair of 'sisters and brothers' from the side, and her eyes were red with jealousy.

She stole and ate it before, and she was beaten up, so why don't she die with the same person.

On the side, Red looked at her a little amusedly, and also cut a piece of meat from the grill and handed it over: "Taste? ”

"No, big cats don't know how to barbecue at all!"

The lion paladin handed it to Ai Xiaoxiao on the side again, and when he saw that the latter had tasted a little, he asked, "How?" ”

The little girl nodded like pounded garlic: "It's delicious!" ”

Red squinted at Sky Blue, who grimaced at him and turned to play with Kita.

Luo Yu was playing beast chess to win Parker, scratching his ears and cheeks.

Baggins sat under a laurel tree, intently sharpening a new pipe with a knife.

The bonfire boiled the kettle hanging from the branches, and the white steam steamed.

Sylvide's eyes lit up as she watched as Shesta poured hot water into the petal-shaped teacup in front of her, the red tea leaves swirling in the white porcelain.

Shesta poured another cup into the small teacup reserved for Miss Elf, who was sitting in front of her.

"Thank you." Tata replied with her head tilted.

"You're welcome."

Sylvide smiled and replied for her unspeakable maid.

Delis curled up in a snow-white ball, her back against the campfire, her eyes squinted, and her body fell together.

Nini was lying in her arms, curling her tail and falling asleep, and the newborn dragon soul seemed to be extremely sleepy.

Sparks jumped out of the bonfire, fell into the grass velvet, and rolled up a wisp of flame. The changing light leaves behind three or two staggered shallow shadows.

In the darkness, Alyssa looked focused, her eyes reflecting the dancing flames and pages of light. She was raising her hands, her fingertips slicing over the pages.

The box looked curiously from the sidelines.

"What are you writing about?"

Both of them were born to listen to the rain and have a common word. Miss Nightingale turned her head and smiled at him:

"I'm writing a letter to Alice."

In order to make amends for her mistakes, Alice joins the Stargate Harbor Special Operations Group, which is tasked with investigating the whereabouts of the high-level Rainlisteners.

Since this matter is intertwined with the Worship Dragon Sect, maybe they will have a chance to cooperate again in the future.

There was a ghostly cry from Mr. Graystone:

"Ouch, light, pain, pain!"

Tang Xin put down the magic wand in his hand and looked at this person a little angrily.

The Healer's Staff is the only magic device that can convert aether magic into light aether, which is also divine power.

Only the craftsmen of the temple had the secret to making it, and the one she had in her possession, which she had purchased from the temple of Mirera on the shores of the pale gold lake, cost five thousand lissells.

She swept the sacrificial robe as white as snow with her hand, and said with a pretty face: "Big man, what kind of pain are you afraid of!" ”

"Kita, leave him alone, bandage him!"

Kita hurriedly moved.

Luo Hao's face was blue and white in pain, and he shouted like a pig: "Wait, can you do it!?" ”

"I'm low-level, why do you talk so much nonsense."

"I know you're of a low level, but Miss Pastor, you can also give me an analgesic operation first......

"I forgot to learn."

"Huh?"

Sky Blue sneaked out of the perimeter of the ruins alone and looked back in the direction of the camp. The faint screams from behind the woods made her pout.

Since Brother Ed joined, Sister Attila has become more and more partial.

Kita doesn't play with her either.

There is also that stinky Luo Yu, who only knows alchemy, or plays chess.

Holding the magic harp, she kicked a piece of gravel away with a kick, and the stone bones rolled out of the distance. She watched the stone sink into the shadows, sighed, found a large stone outside the ruins, sat down on it, looked up at the bright moonlight in the night sky, and suddenly felt a little homesick.

She plucked the strings twice and sang softly.

But frightened, the vultures that were having dinner not far away fluttered their wings and flew into the air.

Tianlan couldn't help but giggle when she saw this scene. But after laughing for a while, he was a little bored, and pouted and said:

"Cut, it's annoying."

Even these flat-haired brutes don't like to hear her sing.

But it was not her fault that the five tones were incomplete, and Tianlan suddenly felt very bored, and after a while, it was almost time to eat, and was about to come down from the rocks and return to the camp.

But suddenly, she stopped and looked straight north at the ruins.

There, in the bright moonlight, the winding road between the ruins of the broken walls was clearly visible. And a trail that passes through layers of verdant creepers, the moonlight outlines a snow-white bare remnant wall.

Under the wall, two figures were slowly passing through the ruins.

One of them was taller and wore a somewhat ragged cloak.

And there was a small figure with a short stature next to this figure, which seemed to be a child.

The two of them didn't seem to look at the fire, and just walked straight forward, towards the direction of the forest.

Sky Blue watched the scene with her mouth wide open.

"Hey, you ......"

She abruptly retracted the words.

I don't know where to have a guts, put down the piano and chased in that direction.

But before they could run a few steps, two figures entered the forest in front of them.

And Tianlan chased over to see, there was fog in the forest, where were there any figures? When she looked back again, she realized that she couldn't see the fire in the direction of the camp for some time.

……

When Red picks up the little girl from the woods.

Tianlan's face was pale, as if frightened, and her body was already soaked in fog.

Ai Xiaoxiao kindly put a towel on her, and Luo Yu asked a little worriedly on the side:

"Where have you been, we found your piano."

Azure didn't look at him, but threw herself into Attila's arms with a whoop and cried loudly. Then he sobbed and told everyone what had happened before from beginning to end.

"Two travelers?"

Everyone couldn't help but look at the big cat man and Baggins.

But the two men who went to look for someone shook their heads, indicating that they didn't see anyone else.

As for Sky Blue, she didn't actually get into any big trouble, when they met her, she was just lost in the forest.

"They're really here, I'm definitely not dazzled!" Tianlan replied with a handful of snot and tears: "And...... And I called you in the forest, didn't you hear? ”

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

In the end, at Fang Yuan's suggestion, everyone was divided into groups and searched in the forest for a while.

But there were no two people as Azure said, and there were no footprints left on the path to the north.

Alyssa had picked up a silver bracelet in the woods to the north, but it was mottled and mottled between the layers of moss, and it didn't look like it had been dropped recently.

If it weren't for the reflection of the torches, even Miss Nightingale wouldn't have noticed it, and after cleaning the dirt from the surface, she realized that the bracelet didn't look like an adult's size.

"Maybe it's a relic of the inhabitants of the past." Alyssa said.

"Isn't it half a century old?"

"Judging from the surface erosion, it seems to be a little longer." Kita pushed away her monocle and said softly.

Ai Xiaoxiao also said: "If you were an adventurer, you wouldn't have entered the forest without a torch, right?" ”

"Sister Tianlan, you can't encounter something unclean, right?"

As soon as she said this, Tianlan's face turned pale with fright, and her upper and lower teeth chattered.

And Ai Xiaowan herself was also a little scared, and she and the three little girls on the side couldn't help but tremble.

A bonfire dinner had to be cancelled due to the unexpected.

Although there was no evidence that Sky Blue was not dazzled, it was still prudent in this barren mountain, so everyone hastily ate something and returned to the platform.

At Sylvid's suggestion, the bonfire below was not extinguished. The Big Cat Man and Baggins cut down two pine trees to make a long campfire that could provide light all night.

Fang Ou also sent additional night watchmen.

On the platform on which Mr. Greystone carried, there were four living rooms, in addition to the captain's cabin and the small room of the ship's master lady on the side.

On weekdays, Parker and Big Cat Man share a room, Luo Yu and Chest share a room, Attila, Sky Blue, and Kita live together, and Alyssa has a single room alone.

Shesta and Baggins used to live in utility rooms on the left and right.

Miss Maid is a flower that is convenient for taking care of herself, and Baggins is because it is convenient for guarding the captain's room.

Of course, Fang Yu knew that the person who was really protecting the other party was Sylvid.

While Sophie and Akane, Dries and Uncrowned are still on the ship, the first three are staying with Alyssa.

And the uncrowned lived in the infirmary.

Now that they have all disembarked, the vacated seats are naturally given to Tang Xin, Ai Xiaoxiao and Luo Hao.

So, the platform still seems to be a bit too cramped now.

Especially after the storage room was half occupied by the Fairy Heart, many clutter had to pile up on the aisle, making the platform even more cluttered.

In Fang's view, the construction of the Seven Seas Traveler has become more and more urgent.

Of course, for new members who have not experienced relaxed days, this small difficulty is nothing to blame.

Luo Hao was lying in the hammock in the infirmary, looking at the cold moonlight spilling in from the window, and he had some vague expectations for such an adventurous life in his heart.

And in Alyssa's room.

The Miss Nightingale from the Rain Listener was smiling as Ai Xiao Xin threw herself into bed contentedly.

Ai Xiaoxiao turned over to look at her and Tang Xin, her eyes were full of little stars:

"You know, Sugar Candy, this is the life I've always dreamed of!"

Tang Xin sighed and placed the magic wand on the wall stand.

"Got it, you finish your homework first."

"I'll talk about it tomorrow."

"That's what you said yesterday."

"Hey, that...... Is that so? ”

Tang Xin glared at her.

Alyssa pulled back the blinds to let the glow of the bright bonfire outside shine through the branches of the canopy and onto the walls of the room.

……

The glow of the crystal is starting to become a little erratic.

Fang Yu knew that this lamp had this little problem at some point, he was only halfway through the log, reached out and twisted the lamp base, suddenly realized something, and looked back. Just in time, Sylvester appeared in the doorway wearing an overcoat.

"Why didn't you sleep?"

"Didn't the captain sleep too?"

"I'm writing a diary." Fang Yu suddenly stopped, knowing that the meaning of this sentence was that the ship's master lady wanted to chat with him.

In the past, she used to do this often, talking to him about their goals, about her father, and about the Seven Seas Traveler.

It's just that after the two have another layer of relationship, there are not many such opportunities.

"Would you like to sit down for a moment?" Fang Plover gave up a place.

Sylvide's bright eyes revealed a shallow smile.

She nodded slightly.

Fang Yu felt the aristocratic daughter sit down next to him, and a faint smell of a girl's body lingered on the tip of his nose, and he closed his diary and inserted the old map under the page.

Sylvid looked at him, "Did you find that from that official's bookshelf?" ”

"Yes, a map."

"It's unclear if it's in Idus, though."

Sylvid listened quietly, and suddenly asked, "Is Miss Tata there?" ”

"Nini woke up and pestered her to go out, and they went out with Delis."

The two of them suddenly fell silent, and they always felt that there was a subtle atmosphere in these words.

Fang Yu turned around and saw this noble daughter. Sylvid took out a letter and handed it over, it had creases on it, but the handwriting on it was still fresh.

"What is this?" He asked.

"Sent by Master Ender," Sylvid replied with a smile, "Someone has sent Elffindor information that the Blood Shark pirates have landed in Anquid, and they seem to have been active in that area lately. ”

Fang Yu thought for a moment before remembering that place, and couldn't help frowning. "Isn't it close to Idus?"

"It's not far."

"How did they get involved?"

"It's a coincidence, but worse, they're hired."

The so-called hired by others naturally refers to the dragon-worshippers.

The two discussed the Blood Shark Air Pirate for a while.

This unbelievable air piracy group is active on the Kaurin-Ishurian to Hanruina route, and has had eight leaders for more than 200 years.

The current leader is so mysterious that almost no one knows his name.

However, in recent years, their range has curtailed considerably, and in the past, Blood Shark pirates would occasionally take advantage of the warm air currents from the west of the continent to attack cities along the coast of the Isis region, but such behavior is now very rare.

Not to mention the first time it appeared in Istania further south.

However, Sylvid did not know much about these outlaws, so it was difficult to guess their purpose. The two only spoke a few words, and the conversation turned to the current situation in the south.

Sylvid expressed some concern about the old duke of Maude Caesar, the mainstay of the South, and Fang Yu exchanged views with his own shipmaster.

But he suddenly thought of something and said, "That's right! ”

Then he leaned down and opened the drawer and pulled out a small box from inside. "It's your birthday in a few days," Fang Yu cautiously opened the box: "Originally, I wanted to find a chance to give it to you in a few days-"

In that box, lying quietly lay a perfectly cut heart-shaped gem, a deep blue, like the blue in the eyes of the nobleman's daughter, shining brightly.

Sylvide looked at him with quiet eyes, and her tone rose slightly:

"For me?"

Fang Yu nodded seriously: "Your name is also engraved in it, you see it here...... It's a little too small. ”

Sylvide couldn't help but smile as she looked at his clumsy appearance.

She reached out and took the gem from his, carefully holding her hands to her heart, then lifted her fan-like eyelashes and looked at him. A shallow smile in his eyes sparkled.

Fang Yuan's heart fluttered, as if he was blessed with a sudden blessing to his heart, and he understood the invitation from the girl.

He leaned over slightly.

Sylvid closed her eyes slightly.

The light of the crystal flickered again, and this lamp always had such a little problem.

Two figures overlapped on the mahogany walls, and the coat slid gently off Sylvede's shoulders, leaving only the thin pajamas inside. After the lips parted, the room filled the room with the sound of soft gasps.

Both of them couldn't help themselves, their eyes intertwined, as if they wanted to melt each other.

"Sylvede......

Fang Yuan's voice was a little dry.

The aristocratic daughter looked at him and only bowed her head slightly.

But suddenly, Fang Yu felt a burning sensation in his chest, he frowned, and subconsciously lowered his head.

Sylvid looked at him with some concern and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Fang Plover shook his head, there was the ring of golden flame that had been hanging from his chest, he carried the rope to pull the pendant out of his shirt, and the golden light flashed on the dark ring.

Fang Yu almost thought that he had seen it wrong, since Nini woke up, how long had he not seen this ring react?

But only some residual warmth remained on the ring, and after a flash of hallucinatory golden light, it fell silent again. He held the rope, and the pendant swayed in mid-air, but he didn't react at all.

Fang Yu put down his ring a little confused.

He looked up at Sylvade on the side, and after this little episode, both of them came to their senses a little. A red cloud flew up the cheek of the ship's officer, lowered her head, and whispered:

"I'll go back first."

Fang Yu forgot to keep it for a while.

He looked at the empty position, and couldn't help but feel a little stunned in his heart for a while.

……
