Chapter 144: The Men's Story
"When I left Rotao for the Hill of the Trees, I disembarked with no money and nowhere else to go, and it was Miss Ettila who took me in. She was the priest of Ameya, the forester of the Temple of the Sea of Trees, so I worked as a Templar at the Temple of the Sea of Trees, and you know, although I believed in Lady Maran, the goddess of Ameia didn't need the keeper of the gate for her to know the way of the ancient trees, and the good elves didn't mind that. β
"Miss Attila is a Sacred Tree Forester?" Fang Yu was not surprised: "But I heard that the forest keepers of the Shuhai Temple are the electors of Ameya, pure maidens, and they can't leave the sacred forest easily?" β
"She made an ancient oath to White Oak, so it's not a violation." Red replied, claws on the shoulder, winking at him, "As for the rest, she'll tell you when she wants you to know, Ed." β
Fang Yu nodded.
"What about you, Parker?"
"Well," Parker said, opening the barrel at the edge of the platform, tiptoeing to get something out of it. Luo Yu took the lid from his hand, took out an apple from it and handed it over. Parker took the apple, rubbed it vigorously on his body, took a big bite, and replied angrily, "My story is a long story, and I am afraid that I will not be able to finish it for three days and three nights, so I will start with the best part, once I met a giant dragon in Vogan, a real dragon......"
"Okay, okay," Fang Yu interrupted him, and let him continue, I'm afraid he would really have to talk for three days and three nights, "Just tell me about your short sword, how did you win the Thieves Contest?" β
He had already explained to Parker where the dagger had gone, but Paparald was so elated with a pair of A++ daggers that he had forgotten about this 'little thing'.
"Ah, that's just a small thing. The guys were so stupid that even Gerald couldn't fool me, so I had to reluctantly win the championship. Parker waved his little hand a little frustratedly, for the dragon was something he thought was worth mentioning.
"Gerald?"
"It was a fat cat raised by Lord Sanshak, but it wasn't that fat until I formed a kitchen alliance with it." Parker replied with another bite of the apple.
"It's a Displacement Beast." The lion man helped him point this out.
"Displacement Beast?" Fang Yu was stunned: "That kind of thing can't sense changes in space, how can you avoid its detection?" β
"Didn't I say it? I have an offensive and defensive alliance with it, how can it betray its allies? β
"Wait, you mean you cheat?"
"Why else do you think he's in this place?" The lion man shook his head: "This guy is also self-inflicted, but if you go back and apologize to Mr. Lord now, it's still too late." β
"I don't want to apologize to that Humpty Dumpty, I burned his favorite hat before I left."
"You're amazing." Red spread his paws and spread his hands.
Fang Yu then looked at the only silent young man among the few people who did not speak: "Does Luo Yu have any stories?" Why do you want to be a Chosen One? β
Luo Yu shook his head: "My parents are both electors, this is what they expect from me. β
"Your parents?" Fang Yu looked at him with some surprise, judging from Luo Yu's age, his parents were at least the first generation of electors, if not pioneers.
"They are the first generation of Electors after Stargate." Luo Yu nodded.
The first generation of Electors were the first to enter the Stargate after the Suva Declaration, a generation known for their true fearlessness and exploration, many of whom would go on to become legends.
Luo Yu paused for a moment and continued: "They have high expectations for me and are very strict with me, becoming a trainee of Tapolis and choosing the path of the elemental envoy are all arranged for me. β
To Fang Yuan's ears, this road was obviously much smoother than his own.
But he couldn't hear Luo Yu's excitement or excitement, as if everything was unremarkable, this was a road that had been arranged a long time ago.
He didn't know if the other party really liked this path, and he didn't ask who his parents were, but the first generation of Electors didn't think it would be an ordinary person, looking at Luo Yu's calm face, Fang Yu really didn't know if this was a lucky thing for him.
As for himself, I really can't say whether he is envious or not, but if it was the first half of the year, he should be very envious.
"What about you, little one?" Rhett turned his head and asked him.
"Me?" Fang Yu shook his head and smiled lightly: "I can tell everyone about everything, I have done enough daring things to come to this world." β
"Did you think about the consequences of these things you did, Ed?" Luo Yu's eyes were a little bright in the darkness, and he looked at him and asked rarely, "Do you regret it?" β
"I didn't have time to think about it so much," Fang Yu shook his head without hesitation: "I just know that I must come here, nothing can stop me, if I will regret it, it must be that my dream has not had time to come true, and nothing else." β
"Wonderful answer," the lionman grinned, revealing his snow-white fangs, "Be sure of your heart, and if you keep going, Lady Marlan will like you very much." β
Luo Yu glanced at him silently, and the feelings in his heart were a little indescribable.
What followed was a considerable silence.
Four men, including a little chubby, leaned against the railing and watched the campfire in the distance, surrounded only by the long chirping of insects in the forest. And Parker was chewing on the apple, then took a step back and threw the pit far away.
"Why didn't you lose as far as you used to?" Luo Yu asked strangely.
"Well, I didn't do it."
It wasn't long before someone walked from the other side of Mr. Limestone to the bottom of the platform.
Sylvid carried the wind lantern, looked up at the men on the platform, and said with a smile: "Good evening everyone, and the captain, it just so happens that we are going to send a batch of magic guides, this is the result of your work, do you want to go with us?" β
Only then did Fang Yu see that Xie Sita was standing quietly with a wooden box on his shoulders.
"Ah, I'm actuallyβ"
Red pushed him behind his back and interrupted him with a push, "Do you want to let the ladies walk alone at night, it's not a gentleman's job to refuse a lady's invitation, Ed." β
Fang Yu thought to himself that it was only a few steps away, but what kind of night road it was, but looking at Sylvid who was smiling, he couldn't say anything if he refused.
Sometimes, even if a man is not a gentleman, he can become a gentleman in front of a beautiful lady.
He jumped off the platform, and Sylvid smiled and handed him the wind lantern in his hand.
"Miss Atira is waiting for us in front."
As she spoke, she handed over a huge handcuff: "The three-style 'lion' handcuff has a multi-barreled structure and can hold seven bullets. Produced by Kingfisher Workshop, the captain should know how to use it? β
"What is this?" Fang Yu was taken aback, thinking to himself whether we are going to deliver goods or to send our lives, do we need to use this thing?
"It's not stable over there, so there's nothing wrong with being careful." Sylvid smiled slightly: "Shouldn't Mr. Captain protect his ship officer?" β
"Okay."
"I've replaced you with Ξ± crystals, Captain."
"Thank you."
But Fang Yu suddenly felt that something was wrong: "You didn't think about taking me with you a long time ago, did you?" β
Sylvid chuckled, "That's the captain's own judgment." β
Fang Yu had no choice but to shake his head and take the handcuff and check it, one of the great advantages of the magic guide gun is that it is simple and easy to use, and ordinary people can easily shoot it without the skills related to the guns.
However, loading and cleaning the chamber is a bit more troublesome, and the accuracy is worrying, but seven rounds are barely enough, after all, this handcuff has a slightly higher attack than the Scepter of Remorse.
He put away his handcuffs before asking, "By the way, what's going on with the Rainhearer Guild?" β
Sylvid shook her head.
Since the last time they had been troubled, the man, the vice president of the Rainhearer's Guild, had come to their door to apologize to them shortly afterward, and that matter had not been resolved.
She replied, "After that, it was their vice president who was in charge of receiving us, and it wasn't a big problem. Privately, though, there are still people who show hostility if they don't show it β someone almost knocked Sky Blue into a pool at Andreita Falls yesterday, and although it seems like an unintentional mistake, I always think it was deliberately arranged. β
"I think that way, too." Fang Yu nodded.
The strange atmosphere that pervades the inside of the rain listener, he has also felt it very vividly in the past two days.
"But is that man really the vice president of the Rainlistener?"
"Yes, Vice President of the Rainhearer." Sylvid looked ahead, her eyes dark blue reflecting the golden firelight.
"But don't you think it's strange, Miss Sylvide? Who is the highest ranking person in the ranks of the rain listeners? β
Sylvede's eyes wandered, and she glanced back at him, "You mean to say that they are not in agreement internally, and the authority of the vice president is being ignored?" β
Fang Yu nodded.
"That's the crux of the matter, but the power struggle within the Rainlisteners has nothing to do with us, we just need to be careful."
"That's just as well." Fang Plover bowed his head.
However, he vaguely felt in his heart that the problem was not so simple
The power dispute in the Guild of Aitalia is often just a manifestation of the struggle between the top leaders of the club behind it, and it is so hot that outsiders can detect the anomaly, but the guild does not seem to have as much undercurrent as imagined.
The boy named Bai Hua he had met, as well as the two apprentice alchemists, the twin sisters, none of them seemed to show signs of concern about the future of the guild.
It's also so abnormal.
With such doubts, Fang Yu and the master and servant entered the camp area of the rain listener together.
Miss Elf and Sky Blue were waiting for them here, and the little French girl complained fiercely when she saw Fang Ou, saying that their captain couldn't see anyone all day.
Fang Yu couldn't laugh or cry at this, so he could only comfort her.
The Rain-Listener's camp was much as he had expected, an atmosphere of peace and tranquility pervaded the camp, and most people were talking about the next trial, indifferent to anything else.
And a few will nod their heads and show kindness.
However, like Sylvid, Fang Ou could still feel the hostility hidden in the crowd, the occasional look, a whispered remark, and a crowd of three or five.
It felt like there was a group of people who didn't welcome their presence.
It feels so weird.
Fang Yu looked around suspiciously, and finally noticed that something was wrong.
He turned around, pointed around, and asked Sylvid:
"Is it like this every year?"
