Pillars of Ita

After a short rest, it was confirmed that there were no major problems with the Seven Seas Traveler. Fang Plon left Baggins and Dariel behind, and they worked in pairs to recover and reinforce the main mast.Although there are no suitable conditions here, simple repair work can still be completed. At this time, he couldn't help but miss Luo Yu. When the elementalist was still on the ship, he not only took on the responsibility of the garrison mage, but also held most of the part-time jobs. Carpentry work.

Fortunately, the boatswain is also experienced and competent enough, but he needs to guide the cable transmission and steering gear, and Miss Muppet is in charge.

Tian Lan also stayed on the ship, responsible for assessing the damage to the Seven Seas Traveler and recording the expenditure of repair materials one by one. As the general person in charge of logistics in the regiment, all the work fell on her after Attila left. , only Sylvide helped her.

Because of this, everyone turns a blind eye whether Miss Poet can level up or not, because they know she can’t spare much time, but if there is a chance to gain experience, everyone will take her with them first.However, the former didn't care much about it and actually enjoyed it.

After arranging everything, Fang Yu took out the elemental blessing he got from the earth element tyrant Alphonse. It was a beacon placed on him by Alphonse, but after passing through the Tower of Winter Solstice, it had become his of trophies.

Since the sea of ​​light was extinguished, the dark blessing on him lost its effectiveness, but he tried, and the mark of the forbidden throne among the seven thrones still remained on him, and the three blessings from the stars were still on him, but the BUFF dimmed. , but still rejects elemental blessings.

Except for him, everyone involved in Nozpizzi's group had priority in using elemental blessings, including Luo Hao, Box and the Papalals, Jita, Luo Yu, and even Sylvide and Xie Star is included, followed by Dariel, Mei, Baggins and Tianlan.

The elemental blessing was like a ball of light suspended a few centimeters above the desk, exuding a soft light. Fang Yu looked at the others and said, "I asked Luo Hao and the others. Luo Hao's current level is also very fast. When I caught up with him, what he saw was that this blessing was given to the lowest-ranking person in the group to make up for his shortcomings. Parker, Box, and Miss May all had no objections to this. Now I want to ask what other people think?"

Theoretically, it would be best to wait until Luo Yu returns to decide on the distribution of elemental blessings, but the whereabouts of Alessa and the elementalist are unknown, and Aiyin Block's trip gave him a sense of crisis. If the world is bound to fall into war, The Seven Seas Brigade must first seek the ability to protect itself.

Although everyone is a selector, there are also locals like Sylvide, Baggins and Siesta on the ship, as well as Pasha from the second regiment, Ms. Kusu, Princess Rupert, and Elna. Chief, Teacher Ander, Mr. Anloser and the others.

He may not care about too many people, but at least he must protect the people around him as much as possible, so improving his strength as much as possible is a top priority. This is why he is preparing to go to the second world.

But compared to long-term plans, of course, the resources at hand must be used as much as possible, and Luo Hao and the others also considered this.

Fang Yu finished asking.

Alyssa was the first to shake her head. She was not interested in this. Her staying here was actually a mission of the military, but Fang Pliong had done a great favor to her and her sister, so he didn't mean to thank her.It's just that as time passed, Miss Nightingale gradually got used to this kind of life, unlike when she was listening to the rain, she gradually fell in love with everything here.

In addition, she was just curious about Fang Plov and had some affection for him, but she couldn't say whether she liked him or not. She preferred to watch the captain get into trouble and spread gossip about him on the ship, and never tired of it.

Dariel was somewhat interested in the elemental blessing, but she was the last to board the ship, and it was an order from the Holy Maiden. She knew that she was not qualified to say anything, so she folded her hands and looked aside without expressing her opinion.

Baggins has passed the age of pursuing power, and nodded in agreement, intending to give this opportunity to young people.

"I don't need it," Siesta said.

Jita looked at her magic book and said softly that she had acquired powers that did not belong to her, and it would take time to heal these powers, so she also agreed with the proposal.

Fang Yu glanced at Miss Scholar and knew that even if she didn't get another magic book, she wouldn't object to everyone's proposal. She was just looking for a reason. Jita blushed at his sight and quickly lowered her head. .

Only Tianlan scratched her face and said, "Brother Ed, why do I feel like you are talking about me?"

Fang Yan glared at her angrily: "It's good for someone to know. Now that everyone has no objections, then this elemental blessing should be used by you and Sylvaide. You are the lowest level, so you come first."

Tian Lan was a little embarrassed. "How about Sister Sylvide come first?"

The ship officer smiled slightly: "I am the navigator of the Seven Seas Traveler, and I don't need this for drawing and navigating."

Tianlan had no choice but to accept it, but she picked up the Elemental Blessing and there was no response. She gestured a few times and there was no movement at all. She couldn't help but let out a sigh, raised her head and asked the others: "How to use this?"

Fang Plover was also stunned. Alphonse didn't tell him how to use this elemental blessing, but in theory it would be activated as long as he met the corresponding person. He didn't activate it because the dark blessing and the elemental blessing were mutually exclusive.

Could it be because Tianlan was not on board at the time?
He looked at Sylviede. "You come and try."

The noble daughter was not the kind of indecisive person, nor did she shirk. She nodded and stretched out a finger towards the light ball in the sky blue hand. The light seemed to be attracted by some kind of pull, and naturally flowed towards her. The next moment, it merged into her body and emitted loudly. light.

The soft white light only lasted for a moment, and then faded away, but something seemed to have changed in Sylvester. There was a ray of light at the end of her narrow eyes, and her skin shone with crystal light. She stood there, her whole body Everything has become different.

Tianlan's heart skipped a beat when she saw this scene, and her mouth opened wide: "Sister Sylvide, have you become prettier again?"

Sylvide blinked blankly before she realized what was going on and looked at the others in confusion.Fang Yu was the first to react. He opened the system and checked the other party, only to find that her level had been improved and was now level 25.

The noble daughter realized what happened right away, she looked at Tian Lan with some surprises in her eyes: "Tian Lan, I—"

Tianlan waved her hands quickly, not caring: "I'm fine, Sister Sylvide, this blessing is very good for you." She is very generous, and besides, she doesn't care much about these things in the first place, she just likes Staying here, she is happy that everyone on the ship has become better.

Besides, everyone is so powerful, won’t they be able to lead her even more?

Among the crowd, only Alyssa was keenly aware of her little thoughts, and she just smiled and said nothing.

"How do you feel now?" Fang Yu asked quickly.

Sylvide shook her head, "I don't know exactly, but it seems to have some kind of connection with the surrounding earth..."

Fang Yu understood that his ship officer was an aborigine. Because there was no system, she could not find out her specific changes. Others, even team members, could only see her level changes.

After the aborigines get the blessing, they can only slowly discover its function. If they have no experience with it, they may have to spend their entire lives to master this level of power.They actually don't know much about elemental blessings, but fortunately, talents, blessings, and various buffs are interlinked.

Therefore, after some testing, everyone roughly concluded that the first power Sylvide mastered through the elemental blessing - that is, the perception of the surrounding earth. As long as she is close to the earth, she can sense the nearby terrain and even the sea of ​​clouds. subtle changes in air currents and underlying etheric currents.

Other powers have not yet been discovered, but for a navigator, this ability can be regarded as a god-level ability. As long as he sails on the mainland, even on the edge of the continent, in the sea of ​​clouds, or where there are island chains, as long as he is close to the earth ', or in an environment where earth elements exist, she will know the surroundings well. You can imagine how important this is for the bonus of navigation ability.

Of course, the elemental blessing, which is known as one of the three higher blessings, cannot be just that, but the rest can only be experienced slowly during the journey. Although they do not know enough about the elemental blessing, some people do.

Fang Yu thought of Cui Xisi. Wasn't she going to come to the ship? He had some concerns at first, but now it seems that it was a very correct decision.The Imperial people, especially the Grand Guild, will only have a deeper grasp of elemental blessings than they do. These questions will be known once the other party arrives.

Sylvide still seemed indifferent, calmly accepting everyone's congratulations and responding to them one by one. She felt relieved when she saw that Tianlan really didn't care about it.

"That's it," Fang Yu concluded: "Last time, Nozpiz and his party also had the rewards for the first half of the empire's trip, the rewards from the Stargate Port, and Ain Block's participation in the great trial. Half of the compensation income will be reserved as team funds, and one-fifth will be allocated to the second group.”

"The remaining part is everyone's bonus. Sylvide's share will be deducted together with mine as compensation for the elemental blessing. In addition, Tangtang, Ai Xiaoxiao and Pasha's three shares will be left to wait for them. I will reissue it after I return.”

The Seven Seas Brigade is a team. Except for adventure-related matters, things within the group cannot be decided by Fang Plover.

The relevant rules and regulations were formulated when Etila was still in the group. Tian Lan, who was in charge of logistics, also contributed to it. Based on the team structure of Twelve Color Iris, the basic framework of the Seven Seas Brigade was established. .

Since Twelve Colors Iris is familiar to everyone, this framework is basically complete. However, due to the differences between the members of the Seven Seas Brigade and the members of the Grand Guild, there are also some subtle modifications.

Except for the Papalars, everyone actually doesn't care much about their own rewards, so no one has any objection to it.

Miss Catman Dariel also got her share of the reward. The biggest gain for the empire and the group this time was the reward from Stargate Port for capturing the culprit and the mastermind behind the battle in the North, as well as Nozpiz Among the group, the total salary received from Shui Wuming and the guild behind them was 150 million Lisels.

Then there are the bonuses for various major and small events and exhibition matches in the first half of the Continental League. The total is more than 50 Rieseels. Unfortunately, the largest bonus pool is actually in the finals, but the game was stopped midway.

Fang Yan was very annoyed.

Then there are the rewards for the various commissions that everyone has performed during this period. When Fang Plover participated in the competition, others were naturally not idle, and the income from the team members' commissions was naturally part of the team, just like Fang Plover's bonuses also belong to Nanami. Same as the brigade.

In addition, in the case of Laila being arrested by the Patrol Cavalry Headquarters, the Seven Sorcerers family lost the lawsuit, and the Ayinbrok municipal government transferred various compensations. Half of the money was transferred to Laila, but the rest Including the commission income, the total is 45 Lisels.

After leaving the team funds, there is also a part of the second regiment reserved for Ms. Kuisu and Lin Lin, and the rest of the people can also be allocated nearly [-] Rissel. After the star gate, this is not considered a A penny.

Dariel herself works in the temple, and her monthly salary is less than three thousand lisels. The only advantage is that the magic furnace is issued by the temple, which saves a lot of money. If I continue to receive extra money, my life will be easy, and I can still make a small fortune.

Of course, she was not as good as the elites of the top guilds. A piece of equipment on her body was enough to support her whole body. However, when she suddenly got an unexpected fortune, the cat lady blinked slightly.

Fang Yu transferred the money to their respective terminals. Aitalilia has not yet developed to the point where virtual currency can be used, but each selector has a system that can directly connect with Stargate Bank. As for Baggins and Xie Sita's money is temporarily stored in the team's fund account, and when they want to withdraw it, they just need to tell him.

Among the people present, only Mia had nothing to do with this matter, because she was not on the ship when Nozpiz and his party arrived.However, the wolf girl only watched silently as the ship officer received the elemental blessing. Everyone congratulated her sincerely, and no one was hiding jealousy or dissatisfaction.

Of course she understood the preciousness of the Seven Thrones and the blessing of the original power, but that precious blessing was simply given away. The recipient of the blessing didn't care, and the person who lost it didn't seem to care either.

She couldn't help but think of the days when she was still in BBK. In the big guild, everyone would try their best to fight for any resources, and intrigues were not a problem.Not to mention elemental blessings, sometimes even a rare piece of equipment can cause troubles.

Only by acquiring more resources can we be favored by outside eyes, and a positive cycle can be formed. This is a concept that everyone in the top guilds knows.

She can stand out from so many people because of her own ability, but she has also experienced days of competing and calculating with others. In fact, she has never been good at calculating. She is here today purely due to luck.

But fate is invisible, which is why she fell deeply into the quagmire of Covenant Mountain and eventually became an abandoned child.Later, he took revenge and joined the front of the Freedom Alliance. However, wherever there are people, there are often contradictions in resource distribution and disputes between people——

She sat in the corner of this small cabin and watched the Seven Seas Brigade allocate resources. She did not feel like an outsider, but felt an unprecedented sense of warmth.

What everyone cares about is not the resources, but the connection between people, the experience of adventure, and the meaning of the journey itself.

Miya's eyes were calm and relieved, as if she had seen a beautiful time in autumn. At that time, Ming, Odin and Chenxi were still there. They described that past time to her, which she had never experienced before. The story of the so-called 'pioneers' came to this world purely by chance.

The innocent and beautiful time described by others seemed like an unreal fairy tale to her. The girl shook the tips of her long ears, said nothing, seemed a little quiet, and gradually understood everything.

Time always flew by very quickly when he was busy, and he had just arranged some things. It was already past noon outside, and Fang Plover remembered that they still had to explore the valley, preferably before sunset, so he had to put down what he was doing.

I had a simple meal on the boat, the maid was in charge, Tianlan helped, the poet also had some cooking talent, baked snacks, stewed soup and vegetables with the meat of a certain kind of black-tailed stork in the valley, and Siesta The craftsmanship is so good that everyone praises it again and again.

Although it was predicted in advance that the Seven Seas Traveler prepared supplies before leaving Ainbulk, it will definitely be difficult to find a safe port anchorage for quite a long time, so the food can be sourced locally as much as possible. .

Fang Piao expected that the next meal would probably be in the wild, so he brought some dry food. Naturally, the personnel included Alisa, who had an exploration experience, and Sylvide. The ship officer's new ability was quite good at opening maps. it works.

There is also Dariel. Miss Catman’s ability in the forest is worth looking forward to. As a paladin of the Shadow Tree Temple, she also knows the forest environment well.

Fang Plover originally planned to take Jita with him, but a wolf girl insisted on being with them, so he had to ask Miss Scholar to perform the security mission on the Seven Seas Traveler instead. This made the former a little disappointed, but he didn't show it on the surface Come out, just nodded slightly in response.

The valley is full of green, but the scenery under the forest canopy is a little cold. Leaving the Seven Seas Traveler and heading north, the forest is deep and quiet, just like Miss Nightingale's previous statement - the forest is densely covered with branches and the visibility is extremely poor. Even if the clockwork fairy is released, Looking down from a high altitude, you can only see the layers of tree crowns in the valley, like a green carpet.

Fang Plover could only release a large number of clockwork eyeliners into the jungle, using quantity to make up for quality, in order to maintain a nearly 30-meter cordon.

Miss Catman looked up curiously and watched the buzzing clockwork goblins passing through the canopy, shining golden light in the forest sunlight, without disturbing each other, and never hitting a branch.She knew a little about Fang Plover and had seen the battle of Ai Yin Block, but this was the first time she saw such a meticulous operation, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Miya had gotten along with Fang Plover during the July War, but when she saw the number of those clockwork fairies, she immediately felt the latter's growth. When she was in the North, she was just a trainee apprentice. Two years later, she had grown up. Grow into a true legendary alchemist.

Several people had different thoughts and no one spoke.

Only Nini roams in the forest, flying up and down, and riding on the clockwork fairy from time to time. She is very happy. She is a non-staff member of the Seven Seas Brigade, but no one can control her. Nini can go wherever she wants. Fang Quan's approval is not required.

But everyone doted on her, except when she was having fun with the dragon-horned lizard on the boat. At that time, the only person who could teach her a lesson was her nominal sister, Miss Tata.On the one hand, Nini loves Miss Goblin very much, but at the same time she is a little afraid.

Sylvide looked up at the little girl who was enjoying herself in mid-air, and couldn't help but smile. Nini hadn't seen her 'Papa' for a while, and her little excitement at this time was well-founded.

They moved along the north side of the valley, and soon they arrived at the location where Miss Nightingale had been last time. Alyssa used her dagger to leave a cross scratch on the trunk of the tree there. This time they were lucky enough to find the tree again. After several days of growth, only a shallow mark remained.

Continue to move forward here, and after a short walk, Nini is the first to discover.

She flew back with a buzzing sound on the wind-up goblin. Fang Yan didn't know how the little guy manipulated the clockwork goblin, but he felt relieved when he thought that the other party was a dragon soul.

Nini sat astride the round shell of the clockwork fairy, flying up and down around him, like a little bee: "Papa, Papa, the air is moist."

The air in the valley was cold and humid, and the low temperature seemed to solidify the water vapor on the ground, but it had always been like this since they entered the valley, and there was no change.Fang Piao knew that Nini must have discovered something. Nini is a dragon soul and is very sensitive to ether. The air she mentioned may not be really air. It may be the ubiquitous ether vein in this valley.

But before he had time to investigate, Miya looked up at the side. Her real profession was blade dancer. The star dagger was the exclusive weapon of this profession. Blade dancer belonged to the series of variations of thieves. Between the nightingale and the poet, he also has a certain ability to cast spells.

She is of a very high level and is the only professional in the Seven Seas Brigade who has passed the second rank. Therefore, she was the first to feel the changes in the ether in the air. The wolf girl's eyes were fixed and she said: "The ether in the valley has become thicker, like It's like standing still."

The thickening of the ether may not be due to changes in the natural environment, or it may be because someone has artificially bound them together. The Mystery Barrier in magic technology can do this. Changes in the ether environment often mean There is some kind of magic field around

A star dagger appeared in Miya's hand. She held it and swiped it gently. Fang Pultru saw that the tip of the dagger seemed to have cut through a layer of silver yarn. Although the faint silver mist disappeared in a flash, he could not help but feel it. Still recognized its source.

"It's on the main core crystal..." Miss Nightingale also recognized it.

Miya and Dalil looked to one side at the same time, and saw a dark shadow flashing in that direction. Miya reacted quickly, stretched out her hand to block Fang Plover, raised her pointed ears high, and Face alert.

"Who's over there!" Miss Catman kicked her long legs and shot in that direction like a sharp arrow, but the black shadow disappeared in a flash. She landed on a nearby tree, and then jumped after the person. The black shadow disappeared in that direction.

Fang Yu was the third to react, pulled down his goggles, and immediately mobilized the dense crowd of clockwork goblins in that direction. But what surprised him was that the black shadow was so fast that he could only see the clockwork goblins in his field of vision. Catch a glimpse of the afterglow.

Thirteen clockwork goblins were just one step slower in succession, allowing the opponent to escape from sight. The disadvantage of the combat craftsman's detection ability was clearly visible in such an environment. He intended to let the clockwork goblins fly high to get an overview of the overall situation, but when he thought of the valley, The environment had no choice but to give up.

But fortunately, he still has options.

He took out a silver chain from under his windbreaker. There was a row of silver spindles hanging from the chain. Those spindles were like flying insects attached to it. They spread their wings under his gaze and greeted each other one after another. Flying upward in the sunshine.

Miya was surprised to see that piece of silver light flying out of the forest like a worm spreading its wings. The scene was extremely spectacular. Although she had actually seen Fang Plover's Star of Sorin, the feeling she experienced was completely different.

At that moment, she couldn't help but think of the Construct Queen.

At this time, the ship officer lady also reacted. She closed her eyes slightly and said, "Ed, there is a low land ahead, and there is a valley there. Miss Daley chased the thing into it."

At this time, the sight of the 'Silver Bees' appeared in Fang Plover's eyes. They had already flown into the valley. Dariel stood on the spot, holding the thing she had grabbed in her hand. Miss Catman raised her Starting, he looked at Fang Plover's structure flying down in mid-air.

She raised her hand and let the 'Silver Bee' rest on her arm.

Only then did Fang Yu clearly see what was in Dalil's other hand.

That's actually a swift construct.

It was about the size of a house cat, and had six legs. It reminded him of the 'Sword Plover' he designed. However, in fact, the six-legged structure had been around for a long time. The structure in Miss Catman's hands was different from his own. The 'Sword Plover' also has many subtle differences.

But what surprised him was the speed of this construct. It was a speed that even a clockwork fairy could not catch up with. The clockwork fairy he controlled, even in the dense forest, his clockwork fairy speed The loss won't be too much.

Therefore, my Clockwork Goblin cannot catch up with this construct purely because the machine's performance is not as good as it is. Generally speaking, few constructs can match the mobility of the Clockwork Goblin, let alone one on the ground. Construct.

Fang Plover glanced at Dalil, and at such a fast speed, Miss Catman could not catch up in the dense forest terrain.

Where there are swift constructs, there are combat craftsmen. Could anyone else have entered this valley?

He first took the others to the valley to meet Dalil, but when he passed through the forest in front and stepped into the depression, his vision gradually became wider, and an empty valley appeared in front of him. , seems to be the reason why the valley in this valley was formed.

However, Fang Plover's eyes were immediately attracted by the scene in the valley. He saw those chalky ruins surrounded by green fields, which seemed to take him back to the Vanna Forest two years ago.

It’s an elf ruin—

Fang Yu turned around and saw a flash of surprise in Miya's cold and clear eyes. Two years ago, it was the star dagger that connected her to him and teleported her to the Dragon Roar Mountain Range. under the shadow.

And today, two years later, Hailin Crystal sent them here again.

Among the three of them, only Sylvide noticed another thing. She squatted down and lightly touched the nearby stone with her hand. She couldn't help but have a strange look in her eyes, and then put the faint silver light on her face. Picking up the stone, the other party said:
"Ed, look at this."

Fang Plover then turned his gaze, but as soon as he saw the luster on the stone, he couldn't move it:

"Mithril Ore!?"
