Pillars of Ita

On the deck of the Seven Seas Traveler, Xiaoyao was the first to scream after listening to Fang Plover's description, "What? Transform Xinta'an into a floating continent? The Oshu people got it wrong—"

Fang Plover punched the chest, causing the guy to swallow the second half of his sentence.

Then he looked around angrily—there were people coming and going on the long trestle of Noz Pitz Airport, and a few port staff were even under the Seven Seas Traveler, gesturing to Baggins on the side of the ship beside the bollards gesture.

The Traveler of the Seven Seas is weighing anchor.

The Paparars and the boxes were swarming there, trying to block their sight and cover Luo Hao and Miss Catman from transferring the blueprints of those boxes.

The port was so busy that no one noticed these ordinary boxes at all.

Fang Plover let out a sigh of relief as he watched the box being delivered to the deck.

The puppet looked in this direction, Fang Plover nodded at her, and Miss Catman lifted a piece of tarpaulin to cover those boxes, and then pressed her big sword on it.

It has been almost six or seven hours since we returned to the surface.

In the meantime, everyone has not closed their eyes.

But everyone cheered up. After all, the current environment is not suitable for rest. The port is full of imperial soldiers.

After he joined the others before, he didn't stay underground any more, and returned directly to Nozpitz.

When passing through the underground lake, the imperials suffered a big loss at the hands of the earth elements, and the battlefield was a mess, so no one noticed them.

But back to the mining area, the alert atmosphere on the surface was much stronger than before.

What they heard was that the underground accident triggered the above-ground martial law, but few people could explain clearly what the accident was. They only said that it was related to the accident in the mining area.

But it's also conceivable.

The appearance of the elemental tyrant was far beyond the expectations of the Oshu people, not to mention that some unexpected events occurred on the battlefield—such as the place where the dragon queen Alyssa made a fuss.

It is impossible for the Oshu people not to be nervous.

Fortunately, Tracy and the young man named Luther seemed to have kept their promise and did not disclose their existence to the Sacramental Guild.

At that time, only the two of them had actually seen the Seven Seas Brigade and their party on the battlefield. Without clues, the Imperials naturally couldn't suspect them for the time being.

But they didn't dare to stay here for a long time. After all, there are prophets in this world. God knows when the imperial people will find out about them.

The good news is that although the port is under martial law, it has not yet been blocked.

It seems that the Osu people do not want to make everything that happened underground known to everyone.

The Seven Seas Traveler obviously received special attention, and several groups of people came to search it back and forth. Although they didn't reveal too much, Fang Plovers also sensed that someone greeted behind his back.

Most of them are those forces who have been staring at them from the dark since the Seven Seas Traveler entered the port.

But the Traveler of the Seven Seas was not a merchant ship, and Fang Plover didn't allow these people to enter the lower deck. Even if the Oshurians had any ideas, they couldn't do anything to them as members of the Colin-Ishurian team.

What's more, Fang Yan finally asked Luo Hao and Liu Liyue to bring those boxes into the port.

Now that things are on board, it's time for them to leave.

It just so happened that Miss Nightingale also brought back new news—from inside the city—that the imperialists were searching for a naturalist, a young girl who might be wearing glasses.

This news scared Fang Plover into a cold sweat.

He hurriedly let Jita hide, and then got the permission to leave the port, preparing to let the Seven Seas Traveler leave this place overnight.

Although this may seem suspicious, as long as Nozpitz is left, the Imperials can't do anything to them.

As long as he was not detained on the spot, the words of the prophet cannot be proved.

The Seven Seas Traveler turned the capstan with a clanging sound, pulled the chain tied with the anchor up from under the clouds, the sails were lowered, and Miss Tata gave the command to set sail in the control room.

Only then did Fang Yan look away—due to the sudden search, the trestle bridge was full of people—merchants who had rushed back from other places, goods and workers who were eager to board the ship, and livestock.

All kinds of voices gathered together, also overshadowed the words that were just carefree.

He turned his head, and beside him, Shui Wuming poked Xiaoyao angrily with his finger, gave this guy a hard look, and signaled him to be more careful.

Especially at such a critical moment, something might go wrong.

Then the girl turned around, and she asked Fang Plover, "Why did the Oshu people do this?"

"I'm afraid it has something to do with the bad star." Luo Wei frowned slightly. "Not long ago, Fenris sent a geological survey team deep into the ground. The Gay crystal in the fault zone that experienced the earthquake was obviously withered. Find a way to save your homeland, but this is not the only place where obvious signs appear, and different situations have appeared in places such as Osteen and Baozhang Coast."

"This is very similar to the omen before the disaster came last time. Now the Star and Moon Towers in various places have dispatched manpower, with Sir Roban in charge, investigating this matter. But the royal family of Colin..." She sighed, "It stands to reason that the royal family should organize this matter, but the royal family can't take care of themselves, and the Artisans Association couldn't get rid of it after the last battle in the northern border."

She used a euphemism, but in fact everyone knew that the Cowling-Royal Family was so in dispute with the Prince's faction that they had no other concerns at all.Now the new king is trying to win over Phoenix City in the south, and Duke Mordekaiser has also expressed his willingness to surrender.

At this juncture, how could the young king have the heart to think about things that may be as long as 100 years later.Whether he was still there at that time, and whether his son was still in power, was still a question.

"Speaking of which, you probably don't know yet," Xiaoyao interrupted suddenly, "The new king has already decided on the candidate for the queen, and the engagement ceremony will be completed in a few days. The royal family is also busy with this matter recently."

"what?"

Although the topic was a bit off topic, everyone started gossiping, and even Fang Yan couldn't help asking a question out of curiosity.

Shui Wuming even asked directly: "Which family does the queen come from? Is it one of the three major families in the southern region? Could it be the Mordekaiser family? Or is it from the northern region," she said to herself, "Is this not true? Possibly, after all, the turmoil in the northern region is not over, and the Colin-Ishurian expeditionary force is still on the Baozhang Coast, so it is possible for His Majesty the king to appease the nobles in the northern region."

"Neither of them," Xiaoyao said mysteriously. "Don't tell the outside world about this. I was so shocked when I heard it. I heard people say that the woman candidate is a caller."

"What!?" Everyone was shocked now.

Although Xiaoyao usually speaks in a non-surprising and endless style, but he has never been so outrageous.There are some precedents for the marriage between the Chosen One and the aborigines. Fang Ploy's own girlfriend is Sir Mawei's daughter.

But that is Colin, the future queen of Ishurian. Could it be that the entire Colin royal family is crazy?This is not something that His Majesty the new King can decide on alone, needless to say that the Prime Minister must be involved.

More importantly, many of His Majesty's elders, distant cousins ​​and sisters of the previous king are still alive. Although they have little real power in the royal family, they still have a say in the king's marriage.

Would those old stubbornes agree to such an unprecedented marriage?

"The woman's background is not simple," Xiaoyao replied, "I can't say too much about the specifics, but the identity of the other party does not seem to be a simple caller, and is related to some ancient families in the kingdom."

"Nonsense," Shui Wuming couldn't help rolling his eyes and said, "Think about it with your knees and know that the woman will not be easy. Can this be easy? This is simply an earth-shattering event. Why hasn't our guild received any news?"

"Secret," Xiaoyao said, "but you should know that Silver Wisland has a very close relationship with the Southern Alliance. The news came from there, and it is exclusive news."

"Then you still say it?"

"Hey, what I said is not the important part. But you'd better not spread it, I don't want to get lost because of it," Xiaoyao said with a smile, "We are in the same group, so it's okay to talk about it."

Several people looked at each other silently.

After experiencing the underground adventure, the relationship between everyone is obviously much closer. After all, they have not experienced many adventures like Fang Plover, so it is easy to get closer to each other in such a thrilling experience.

Moreover, they jointly revealed a secret that the empire was planning an earth-shattering plan. The process of revealing this secret gave them a subtle feeling of mutual alliance and mutual protection.

At this time, Shui Wuming also realized the digression, and brought the topic back in a low voice: "Let's talk about returning to the empire. The situation in the second world is also changing rapidly. Since two years ago, many guilds have been returning to Altaria. Gives me a feeling that the rain is about to come. Now the imperialists are already advocating their plan in full swing, what about us?"

She couldn't help saying the second half of the sentence: "There is no movement in the third division. I don't think the Colin-Ishurian Alliance can be counted on at all."

"So what if we can't count on it? I think this matter has come to an end for us, and the adventure is over, everyone." Xiaoyao raised his hands behind his head, the old god is there, "God Alix will definitely inform everyone For the Grand Council, the next thing is for the people above.”

"I can't see it all," Shui Wuming looked at the others, and said quietly: "Everyone, don't forget that we are the ones who discovered this secret, and we have the first-hand information..."

She glanced at Fang Plover, "...well, I admit that Ed has first-hand information, but Ed is on our side. They shouldn't act without us, or we should act on our own. Such a major change , behind it may be a world mission-level event, and we should have the priority to participate in it."

Fang Plover was stunned for a moment, looking at Shui Wuming, he didn't expect her to think of this level.But he is not a member of the Grand Council, and he lacks interest in it, and he has too many things on hand.

It's not like he hasn't seen world events before.

Fenris Island, Dragon Witch, which one is not?
Luo Wei has been observing Fang Plover from the side, seeing his expression, she knows that he is not interested in this matter.She pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "I have an idea."

Luo Wei rarely expresses her thoughts in the team.However, she often has something to say in every word. When she opened her mouth like this, even Fang Plover was attracted to look at this cheap senior.

"What Wu Ming said has some truth to it. We participated in this matter. If there is a conflict with the empire in the end, we will inevitably be involved. For example, when other countries attack the Oshu people, will they ask us to face each other? Show evidence?"

"...So since we can't avoid being involved, why not think about how to deal with it first. We have assumed responsibility, and we should enjoy more rights for this."

She looked at the others, "I have an idea, we all come from different guilds and groups, Xiaoyao, Wuming and I all have well-connected news channels, while Ed and Liuliyue are relatively free...flexible, Why don't we integrate our respective resources, exchange what we have, and make use of our strengths. If there are any changes in the future, we can also deal with them in advance..."

It has to be said that Fang Plover must become his cheap senior who will impress people.He is not interested in Shui Wuming's proposal, but he is very interested in the exchange. Not to mention, it would be great if there is another opportunity for such an adventure in the future.

That's 500 million Rissels.

And farther away, the news from the Great Guild is indeed exciting, just like the "exclusive news" revealed by Xiaoyao just now, even if he has a lot of friendship with the Southern Border Alliance, it is still impossible for him to find out.

The Grand Guilds each have their own exclusive news channels, and some of them are very high-level. After many years of operation, let alone a free team like the Seven Seas Brigade, even the Loofah's Last Brigade is very lacking in this aspect .

As for the news about Silver Wislan, Elite and Godslayer may not know about it, and vice versa. If they can exchange information with the next generation top players of these three guilds at the same time, it will definitely be a worthwhile thing.

Although of course there will be no core secrets, just new peripheral information such as before is often very valuable.

However, although Fang Yan was tempted, he was not too happy to deal with the major guilds if it was too much trouble.Not to mention what tasks to perform, that's even more out of the question.

If he had had this heart, he would not have rejected the solicitation of Silver Wislan and other great guilds.

"I think what Sister Luo Wei said is right," Shui Wuming said with bright eyes, "We will form a loose alliance. We all have our own resources and channels, and we don't have to work together. We exchange news and communicate with each other. If there is a chance, let’s go on this adventure together again.”

"A loose alliance?" Xiaoyao also became interested, "How about a loose alliance?"

"Let's use the form of a commercial contract," Shui Wuming said: "The internal information is circulated through the exchange method. Even if there is nothing worth exchanging at hand, it can be priced in the form of general equivalents, and even temporary credit is okay. Anyway, everyone has a good reputation. Then agree on the rules and establish a clear boundary-after all, everyone has their own guild and team, but no one wants to step on the thunder."

"We'll use Ms. Roman's contract," she said excitedly, "it will be safe."

Fang Plover was a little moved, this is undoubtedly a favorable statement for him.What news can he and Liuliyue provide?But Luo Wei, Shui Wuming and the others obviously took a fancy to the powerful fighting power of the Seven Seas Brigade.

Of course, the current strength of the Seven Seas Brigade is not comparable to the top teams of Silver Wisland and Godslayer, but most of those teams are in the second world, so how can they have contact with them?
Take Luo Wei as an example, her teammates in Godslayer are far inferior to Fang Yan's level.

Therefore, when Shui Wuming took out Ms. Roman's contract, Fang Yan did not obviously object. Although Liu Liyue was eccentric, she was not a fool, and several people signed the draft contract one by one.

This draft rule is so simple and agrees on the obligations and rights that each of them should fulfill in this organization. According to Shui Wuming, the rules can be further refined, but it needs to be shared by everyone. Proceed under discussion.

"After it is perfected, our alliance will be tentatively drafted." She took back the contract and said to everyone, "Let's establish the rules first, and there may be more than us in the future. Everyone has many friends. You can bring them in, so the value of this alliance is even higher."

Fang Plover didn't expect that the rules had just been created, and the other party had already thought about the long-term future of this alliance.

He was a little speechless for a moment, wondering if this is the genius of the Grand Council?With his own lazy temperament, this organization probably ended with the five of them.

Including the Seven Seas Brigade he represented, there would be no more than twenty people in total.

Luo Wei shook her head and stopped, "Although this organization is a loose organization, you, me, and Ed, the secrets related to the empire we have are of great importance. If you want to join new members, you'd better go through a strict review."

"Then strictly review," Shui Wuming said kindly, "Then add this one, new members must be unanimously approved by everyone."

Only then did Fang Yan nod his head. To be honest, he didn't know many people who could be drawn into this alliance.And if Shui Wuming and the others pull people, he will have a natural distrust of the Grand Duke.

Therefore, Luo Wei's proposal can be said to have won his heart.

"Finally," Shui Wuming said again: "Senior Luo Wei, you, me, and Xiaoyao, Ed, Liuliyue, we all come from one of the best guilds, Ed himself is a dragon alchemist, our organization You can't even have a name, can you?"

She looked at the others and encouraged, "Why don't you give it a famous name?"

……

That famous name was finally confirmed.

At first, Shui Wuming proposed the Seven Seas Alliance, but Xiaoyao disagreed, thinking that it was obviously an organization of all of them, how could they just use the name of the Seven Seas Brigade?
And Fang Plover himself felt inappropriate.

This name is too obvious, and the relationship with his Seven Seas Brigade can be seen almost at a glance.He didn't want to act in such a high-profile manner, especially since this organization might confront the empire.

In the end, Luo Wei proposed the 'Lilac Alliance'. Yishulian lilac is the flower of the north, with five leaves, and it only blooms in September, representing the founders of this alliance from five different forces.

Moreover, Ishurian's five-leaf lilac also has the meaning of a hero. It used to represent the blood of the dragon knight Huma, and it was of great significance in the battle of the dragon witch. It is still blooming in the cemetery there.

Fang Plover also likes this implication very much, because when he first went to Elpaxin, in the garden of Miss Admiral, what he saw was just such small purple flowers growing in clusters.

in that fall.

Therefore, the Clove League was finally determined as the name of this loose organization.

And Liu Liyue's evaluation of this is:

"Sissy."

Regarding the establishment of an offensive and defensive alliance with Luo Wei, Shui Wuming, and Xiaoyao, Fang Yan also asked other people in the Seven Seas Brigade, and most of them had no opinion on it.

Including the Paparars.

Because Parker was not interested in this at all, he felt that it was a kind of torture to stay beside these alchemists even for a second, and he had had enough when he was underground.

The box is not interested in this either, and Jita and Miss May will hardly object to his opinion.

Alyssa quite agrees, Miss Nightingale is probably the most sensitive person in the team to the news, she hopes that this leader who seems to her to be out of business can help her share some responsibilities.

Luo Yu also had no objection.The puppet just boarded the ship not long ago, so he didn't express any opinion on it.Only Luo Hao asked about whether he thought Luo Wei and the others were reliable.

The last one who agreed was Sylvaide.

Miss Ship Officer also thinks that drawing up this alliance is a matter of great benefit and no harm.

"It might become famous in the future," Sylvaide said to him with a smile after leisure, "after all, this is an organization founded by the Dragon Alchemist."

Fang Plover scratched his head, knowing that she was probably joking with himself.

It was almost two days after the Traveler of the Seven Seas arrived at Ainbulk.

At this time, the one-week vacation was actually exhausted. On the day of their arrival, they received a reply letter from the delegation, which said that a certain lady told them to go to the Abbott meeting as soon as possible.

But this time we are not together.

Because Luo Wei and Xiaoyao still have their own affairs to deal with, they separated from the Seven Seas Brigade and the group in Aiyinbulock, and each went on the road ahead of schedule.

And not everyone in the Seven Seas Brigade will go to the sea of ​​trees, like Luo Yu and Jita will continue to stay in Ainbulok, after all, there is no decent library in Abenand.

Chest is also looking for his legendary foundry, and the Pappalar intends to stay with him this time.

For the Kolin-Ishurian delegation, after the training camp, they will go to the Silver Tower Olgifen, and then the Winter Solstice Tower.

Finally, he returned to the imperial capital and participated in the trial of the king's hall in the hall of the holy king.

Because Fang Plover's goal is to be in the top ten, everyone made an appointment to meet in the imperial capital at the end.

In terms of time, it was almost two months, that is, in May and June, until after the Continental League ended.

After all the travel arrangements were settled, Fang Plover returned to the gear and magic book, and visited Pushe, Matri, and Laila there.

The girl was still not much different from before they left Ayn Brock.

It's just that after experiencing the previous setbacks, the other party seemed to have matured and strengthened a lot. Although he was still timid, at least he dared to greet Fang Plover familiarly.

"Hello, Mr. Ed, it's been a long time... I'm really thankful for everyone in the Gears and Magic Book, and my business... I really appreciate everyone in the Seven Seas Brigade."

She thanked Fang Plover gratefully, a little shy, but at least she dared to speak.

Fang Plover was quite relieved to see the other party regained his vitality. He nodded slightly to the other party, signaling that he need not be so polite.

The owner of the inn, the old businessman Pushe, was on the sidelines, talking to Fang Plover about what happened after they left Ayin Brock.

It's nothing more than the personnel changes at the upper echelons of Einbroek, especially the recent changes in the Headquarters of the Patrol Guard, but it's not really a change.How can one lesson eradicate the deep-rooted chronic diseases of some people? Even if the director is replaced, those people are still below.

However, the inspection guards have indeed reduced the number of times they come here recently, which is hard to say is not a good thing for the people who live here.

The rest are little bits and pieces.

Pushe has lived here for many years, and he is as familiar with everyone on this street as the fingerprints on his own palm, and Fang Plover listens with gusto when he talks about these things.

However, the last incident that did not happen to Ai Yinbulock caught Fang Plover's attention.

That incident is not a trivial matter.

The impact of the attack on Grand Duke Owl Eagle finally spread throughout the empire.

……
