Pillars of Ita

Chapter 885 News brought by winter

Just as scars take time to heal, in the snowy season, the days in the North go extra slowly.

The rebuilding of the city is slow and firm, the ruins are swept away, the skeleton is erected, the nails are rattled, and it looks like a huge construction site from a distance.When the snow comes, burying the traces of the war under plain white, people can still go out to celebrate the end of the year.

The Craftsmen's Guild lights up magic lights up and down El Pashin.

Although there are still large blanks in the destroyed neighborhoods in the night reflected by the lights, the relief of the kingdom and Stargate Harbor has been distributed, and the residents of El Pashin can still survive the harsh winter and wait for the coming year.

That was the approval of the forest lady, Ameya.

When the spring winds blow from the warm south, the city also revives along with the forest.

Outside of El Pashin, life is much harder, and some people must even die of cold and starvation, but the Kingdom of Cowling doesn't care about it - the craftsmen and Stargate Port are helpless, and participated in the battle a month ago. The major guilds are not obligated to this, and most people can only see the disaster that is happening in front of them.

People may be sympathetic, but often they can only pull the others around.

The Seven Seas Voyager returned to Gayt and several surrounding villages.Because Redleaf had given them a message—Tapolis would never come back, but the Oak Shield was rebuilt, and it would still be rooted in the North, but this time it was aimed at fighting the Ravenclaw Guard.

With the arrival of reinforcements from dwarves and elves, the kingdom recaptured Gura and destroyed the Crowpaw Temple branches at El Pashin and here.But the influence of the temple goes far beyond that, it just moved from the ground to the ground.

For ordinary people, those who listen to the crow's prophecy in general can still return to the right path after the statute, but there are countless fanatical believers in the countryside. There are three patriarchs missing in the temple in the northern parish. Including its Great Patriarch, as well as a large number of Grey Knights under their command.

Its legacy is almost destined to seep into the land long, long afterward
But Sha Ye didn't stay. She took Xiao Kong back to Gayt and rebuilt the place and its surrounding area with the refugees.

Fang Plover later saw this lady several times, a strong female swordsman who has fully integrated into the aborigines, where she intends to spend her final days as a caller before returning to Earth.

For some unknown reason, Fang Ling saw that long-lost flash of light on the other side again. The person who signed the contract with the Stargate fulfilled the path of the forerunner.From creating miracles, they only compose songs belonging to ordinary people in the ordinary, sing praises for life and love.

On the other hand, Xiao Kong has also recovered very well, regaining his health and vitality, and his enthusiasm as a teenager.

The danger did not deter him from his love of adventure. He wanted to return to adventure after all. In fact, shortly before Fang Plover and the others arrived, Oak Shield had already sent an invitation to him.

Xiaokong did not refuse.

"Brother Ed," the boy cherished his magic bow, "I will protect it this time."

"I promise to be the same person as you and Sister Sha Ye."

Fang Plover couldn't stand the enthusiasm of the fans. After leaving the supplies, he hurriedly returned to Port El Pashin with the Seven Seas Traveler.

Yes, he has fans too, and there are quite a few.

Although Su Changfeng helped them cover up the details of the final battle in the Silver Tower.

In the end, only a few people knew the truth about who destroyed the etheric crystal.

But his broadcasts throughout Cowling-Ithurion had already made the Seven Seas Voyager a household name in the kingdom.Most people probably haven't linked him with the winner of the Craftsman Contest, the famous Dragon Alchemist who made a scene in the Southern Craftsmen Association and rivaled the Dragon Witch.

But just as the person who ignited the battle in the north, this shocking war that suddenly broke out in peacetime attracted the attention of everyone inside and outside the Stargate Kingdom of Colin-Ithurion. Whatever the outcome, his name is enough to be etched into Stargate's history.

Not to mention that more people regard him as a hero, the savior of El Pashin.

At that time in El Pashin, most of the people in the Wilderness of the Four Realms only saw the crimson sky fire falling, and then the tower overturned.

They didn't know what happened in the end, but the city guards who later invaded the tower found the wreckage of the floating ship located in the tower, which was the flagship of the shadow man——

The last battle between him, Kaka, Xiayue, Box, Hongye, Liuying and others in the flagship of Shadowman was not secret. Ten, ten to a hundred, spread all over the North.

The red meteor that finally fell may be a miracle.

But it can be traced back.

Kaka, Six Shadows and Hongye became famous now, and the Red Jackets of Jeffrey and the restorers of Tarpolis also made a splash, and the kingdom was cleared of the latter's crime, which is also the reconstruction of Oak Shield. opportunity.

On the one hand, the Seven Seas Traveler received the same attention, or even higher.

From the north to the south of the kingdom, from Cowling to Istania, the young man finally left behind a legend, which is scattered everywhere, but is linked together by those who know it, and gathers it into a story, which is like a chapter. The history, future and present of Aytaria, written by the gods who wrote history and knowledge.

It was also the letterhead written by Princess Rupert.

The girl's handwriting was meaningful, she raised her head gently, and her eyes under the veil passed through the window panes of the willow wood, staring at the palace outside, the snow-white plain flowers, together with the distant, silver sand sea, thoughts and trade winds, Has already flown to the north:
'On the Seven Seas Voyager, my dear friends—

The rebirth of the desert today and the rejuvenation of this ancient kingdom are inseparable from your efforts. Today, Shayan came from the north with a willow branch in his mouth. Once again, I heard the good news, and I was extremely happy.

A lot of regrets in the past.

I have witnessed miracles, and I have seen the starlight rise from the sand dunes, and the silver moon falls from the vast sea.I hope to witness all that, the old new life, the withered germination, the rising of the stars, the setting of the stars, the blessing of the sea of ​​sand, always with you...'

Falaise complained in his hospital bed.

But maybe that wasn't the kid's fault at all!

Maybe it's Dragon Soul No. [-].

It's Ms. Tata.

But no one cared about him at all.

The president is actually an old bone that can't stand the toss, and has sprained several joints in the previous turmoil.He insisted on getting out of bed, but everyone didn't listen at all, and together with his bizarre muttering, it was regarded as the old man's stubborn complaint.

But Falaise could only sulking secretly, did the plan succeed, where did the old guys go, a fire 50 years ago burned the laboratory and Cang Zhihui together.

Many people have passed away.

Stargate has brought new life and stories of many people. He had heard some rumors about Istania, but his energy in his youth was gone, and he no longer had the will to go back to the past.

"Maybe we'll see that kid again," Falaise murmured.

"No," but he shook his head stubbornly again, "not yet."

In the old man's darkened eyes, there was some worry and some relief.

anyway.

At least Her Royal Highness is still there.

……

Returning to El Pashin with Fang Plover, there was the little girl named Dial. They promised Sand Ye to entrust her to the care of the old dwarf Arquette. Dial was like many people in this war. , lost a lot, but not all yet.

She is still young and has a long life ahead.

She will learn knowledge, meet new partners, choose her own life and path, and accept the world.

There is still a long time to come.

He was so old that even Fang Plover couldn't see clearly, maybe he had already left at that time and couldn't see the things he had changed with his own hands; but he at least understood that it was the future of the North, and even El Pashin, and the people's relationship. where the vision lies.

Because it had already been agreed, Arquette agreed very happily.

Fang Plover helped the Craftsmen Association, and it could even be said that he helped the Colin-Ithurion Alliance a big favor. As the few people who knew the inside story, the old dwarf knew the weight better.

Princess Bryan's orders also arrived at the same time. She and Sir Roban returned from the south and wrote to inquire about the turmoil in the north. In the letter, they expressed their concern for the Seven Seas Voyager. The man is the friend of the elven princess, the hero of the Battle of Byrne.

This relationship alone makes it difficult for the Craftsmen Association to neglect.

What's more, Arquette himself knew Fang Plover, and he was very optimistic about each other.As an old dwarf who lives alone, he also sympathizes with the life of this little human girl, and he will definitely take good care of the other party and give her the best education when he makes a guarantee.

Maybe one day in the future, she will become an outstanding craftsman.

However, Fang Plover thinks this is unnecessary.

He didn't want to decide who's future, not to mention that Diel might not be interested in alchemy, he just hoped that this little girl in the future could choose her own path in life.

"That's okay," Arquette stroked his white beard kindly. "You can rest assured and leave it to us. But the Craftsmen Association has been busy recently. If you have time, you can come here often. , might be able to help.”

Fang Plover nodded.

When parting, he touched Dial's head, the little girl was very well behaved, but her eyes were full of reluctance.Everyone promised her that she would come to visit him frequently during these days, but everyone understood that the Seven Seas Traveler could not stay in El Pashin for a long time.

Their identities are actually very embarrassing. Behind their backs, they also carry the alliance and the kingdom's wanted order. It's just that at this delicate moment, no one will ask for something uncomfortable.But the hero's reputation always fades, and at least so far, the Seven Seas Traveler has no idea what the final decision of the Cowling Kingdom will be.

But it is impossible for them to give up Miss Ship Officer.

"It's good, listen to Master Arquette," Miss Nightingale carefully brushed the messy hair on Dial's forehead, "When we have time, Brother Ed will come to see you, by the way, and bring you Gift."

"Ah."

The little girl bit her lip and nodded reluctantly.

And the years go by.

People may forget many things in the time passed.

But the little girl who was once young may always remember...

That frost-covered winter day, a war that changed everything, and the good and the evil of everyone and every kind of peril that I have ever experienced.

……

"I want to cry a little bit," said Ai Xiaoxiao a little sadly, "Why can't we bring her, Tang Tang, after these days, Dial and everyone are familiar with each other, aren't they?"

"Diel is still young," Tang Xin explained to her, "We are going on adventures, adventures are not tourism, and there may be more dangerous situations in the future. No, we have to keep her safe."

"I know," Ai Xiaoxiao said, "but I'm just a little uncomfortable. In reality, there are all kinds of unsatisfactory things, but why is it still like this here."

Tang Xin shook her head, looked at the majestic city in the distance, and said, "For people in this world, this is their world, their everything. I know some people see everything here as a fantasy, When you wake up from a dream, you will eventually return to reality. However, there are always some people who are different..."

She thought of her cousin.

Reminds me of Sandy Night.

The female swordsman is with those people, rebuilding their homes, and those people look at her like friends and relatives.The other party is their leader, where their confidence lies, and even if she has to leave one day, life is like an unstoppable journey that will eventually go from one place to another.

Even if you stay in place, time will not stop.

It's just that many things have changed, but the memories and feelings will last forever, because those things actually happen and affect many people...

Maybe that's why the other party stayed.

"But I also want to stay," Ai Xiaoxiao said, "Tangtang, you're right, this world is really interesting."

"You're just pursuing novelty," Tang Xin rolled her eyes at her angrily.

Then she fell silent.

Tang Xin sighed, "But we're still strangers in this world after all, little one. Uncle and aunt have written letters, and the connection with Stargate has been restored. It's been a while since school started, and we still have to go back to finish our studies."

"what?"

Ai Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.

But there is more going on.

It's not just the Kolin Kingdom that is self-sufficient. From El Pashin to Gula, and even as far away as Kapka and Rodale, the capture of the betrayed craftsmen, nobles, and the remnants of the Ravenclaw Guard is still going on. Whether wronged or not, people are imprisoned in dark dungeons every day.

Even Stargate Port has experienced huge turmoil. Since the martial law of the last attack, huge institutions have been mobilized again. The ICPO intervened, the military of various countries intervened, the super-sports league temporarily ceased operations, and a group of league officials were detained and faced investigation and prosecution.

The Stargate Organization, the Adventurer's Guild, and the Craftsman Association are all busy at the moment. Every day, there are countless magical messages. Through the Star and Moon Council, we shuttle across the sea of ​​clouds, from Kaolin to the northern region. The number of ships has more than doubled in just one month.

Investigation teams from the Royal Capital, the Hall of Iron, Humans, Elves and Dwarves arrived one after another, and strange faces entered the city every day.

However, since the Super Athletics League China Division has ceased operations, several execution orders originally issued have been temporarily invalidated, and the pursuit of the Seven Seas Traveler has temporarily come to an end.

Although everyone on the Seven Seas Traveler was disdainful of the Alliance's orders, they had to admit that after this behemoth took action, they were indeed breathless for a while.When it stops working, at least give them a breather.

This is also the reason why they can moor at El Pashin at this moment——

However, Su Changfeng also warned Fang Plover.

The problem is far from that simple. After all, it is a fact that he does not have a Stargate identity, and it is impossible for Stargate Port to completely ban the alliance.

It would be good if the Alliance didn't pursue the matter afterwards, but once it was pursued, it might not be good news for the Seven Seas Traveler.

The best way is for him to leave Ataria and return to the Stargate Port to obtain the official certification and pass through the Stargate again, so that he can leave the official identity information of the caller.But the downside is that he has to delay at least a year to half a year.

It's not that Fang Plover couldn't afford this time, the Craftsmen Association did not agree with this plan for unknown reasons, and even the military had different opinions.Su Changfeng gave him another plan, but it was obvious that Stargate Port couldn't find time to solve this problem, so he could only wait for everything to settle down.

This wait is one month.

This month, El Pashin has been relatively calm. The turmoil at the top has not affected too many ordinary people. The reconstruction work is orderly and has been going on smoothly in the winter.

The only discussion in the city is that the Silver Wind Knights were disbanded a month ago, and the Knights were all on the wanted list. However, their acting leader has long since disappeared after the incident, and the whereabouts of a large number of people on the list are unknown. .

The incident sparked a little panic, but it quickly died down.

There is only one thing, and that is that more and more fleets are moored in Port El Pashin.

Silver Veslan, the fleet of the descendants of Flor has not left, and the fleet of Stargate has only returned to the nearby temporary base belonging to the navy, and then another fleet from the large and small guilds in the north arrived. From the direction of the port, thousands of sails in the airport are like the sea.

Since the history of this port, I am afraid it has never seen such a situation.

The moored fleet caused a lot of discussion, but people's speculation became a little bit of an open fact——

After the news of the unrest in the north passed through the sea of ​​clouds, it caused a chain reaction on the other side of the sky gorge.The inhabitants of the Winter Kingdom on the Treasure Staff Coast once betrayed this ancient alliance, and the mountain people who later returned to the kingdom raised the flag of betrayal once again.

The flames of rebellion ignited.

The cold-covered land was burned in an instant.

However, Fang Ping got more accurate information from the Craftsmen Association, which is actually the ghost of the Crow's Claw Temple, because the Crow's Claw Guard is not only in the North, but also deeply penetrated on the Treasure Staff Coast.

When the high level of the temple who fled from the north reached the shore of the treasure staff, they immediately launched believers there and launched a rebellion.

The only good news is that no filmmakers have yet been found involved.

It seems that even the Crow's Claw Guards have been preparing for this summoning ceremony in the north for a long time, and it is difficult for them to replicate such a success on the Treasure Staff Coast.

Silver Veslan, the descendant of Flor, has received a direct assignment from the Stargate at this moment.The combined fleet was anchored here, just waiting for the start of the next expedition. Three days later, the kingdom's main fleet arrived.

Another day later, a red fleet arrived on the northern coastline.

It was from Fenris' fleet.
