Pillars of Ita

Chapter 933 Chapter 160 The Blessing of Guanghai
How dare the other party appear in front of him?

Fang Plover looked at the young man, and his heart quickly calmed down, even the surprise of meeting Friston just now disappeared a lot.

He will come to the empire to investigate the whereabouts of the last crystal tower. Although it is commissioned by the military, on the one hand, he is also interested in the mastermind behind the Battle of the North.Facing this sudden invitation, he weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and finally nodded slightly to the young man.

He went upstairs and walked into an office behind the young man under the gaze of the young man.Fang Yan quickly recognized that this was the office of the director of the patrolling guards, but he had long known that these people were colluding, and he was not too surprised by this in his heart.

The young man closed the door behind him.

He circled around and came to Fang Plover, and gave the latter a meaningful look, "You and I are both smart people, and I also suggest that you don't do things that make everyone unhappy, and I won't go around in circles with you either. Presumably you also recognized me. You ruined our plan in El Pachin, maybe you were lucky, or maybe we underestimated you, an outsider, but those are irrelevant, because things that have already been decided Don't want to waste time pursuing it. But this time is different, we won't make the same mistake again, which is why I took the initiative to come to see you."

Fang Plover looked at the other party in surprise.

He originally thought that the reason why the other party dared to appear in front of him was because he relied on him not to recognize them, but he never thought that this was not the case, the other party had such a confident attitude.

He frowned, and took out his hand from his purse.

Originally, he planned to use the recording crystal to record this scene, and hand over the opponent's appearance, preferably together with the criminal evidence, to the military.But since the other party has realized this, there is no point in doing it again.

He looked at the young man and asked, "Since you know that I can recognize you, how dare you appear in front of me?"

"Why not? This is the Empire, not Colin-Ishurian. What's more, even in Colin-Ishurian, if you want to arrest a drafter of the first division, you have to produce evidence. I know you are looking for me, but how can you prove that I have appeared in Elpaxin?"

"I saw you there."

"Yes, you are right." The young man shrugged, "But your one-sided words are not enough. The Chinese military wants to use me to testify against some people in your super sports league. I know this very well, but they require What you have is reliable evidence. As an insider, what you say is not so credible, is there a possibility that you are retaliating?"

Fang Yan pursed his lips and looked at the other party, and said angrily: "The authorities only talk about evidence, I don't need it."

The young man stopped. "This is very relieved, but it has no practical significance. Why don't we make a deal, you give us what we want, how about I personally testify against those people for you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Literally. And I may have far more information than you imagined, and maybe I can help you catch some unexpected people. In this way, they caught the insider, and you also got the military Fang's favor - a thing has different value to different people, so you get the value you want, and we also get what we want - what you lose, but Just a useless manuscript."

The young man spread his hands to him, "In this way, the deal is concluded, and everyone is happy."

"But those aren't your people, so you just sold them?" Fang Yan looked at the other party suspiciously, "Is Ash Lynn's manuscript so important to you?"

"It seems that Friston has talked a lot with you," the young man shook his head, "but you don't have to trust him so much, he certainly didn't tell you that you were hanging out with that girl from the Lynn family. The En family’s affairs and the Empire Workshop did not play any glorious role. Their research on the star device has made it to today, and Ash Lynn’s technology is indispensable. Although they are not the leader, they can carve up Ash Lynn’s The technology has not fallen behind at all—"

"So you are the leader?" Fang Yan asked back. "It's ridiculous. Didn't you claim that the theory of the Holfen School is a hoax, but you yourself admire his technology so much? Is this the pride of the imperial people?"

"It's two different things. It's a battle between mages. What's more, Ash Lynn's research on the star device was originally based on the construction of the relics, which belonged to the empire."

The young man shook his head and interrupted himself, "Okay, I'm not from the Empire either, so it doesn't really make much sense for you to tell me this. And the reason why I tell you so much is to show my sincerity. You can rest assured , We are just a cooperative relationship with those people in the third division Super Sports League, and now that the cooperation has come to an end, I don’t have any psychological burden to sell them to you.”

"But you haven't answered my question, is Ash Lynn's manuscript so important to you?"

"Friston has already made it very clear to you, didn't he? It just saved me a lot of trouble. Now that you know the ins and outs of this, you should understand that it involves political struggles within the empire. For you This fight has absolutely nothing to do with you, and you don't have to involve yourself in it."

"But to you, this is very important."

The young man closed his mouth and looked at him coldly.

Fang Plover took out the gray crystal from his coat pocket and held it in his hand.The countless facets of the crystal are reflecting the different faces of the two people.

The young man's face was gloomy, but he seemed to be convinced of him.

But there was a glint of light in his eyes.

Under the vast night in the northern border, those refugees sheltered by Miss Sha Ye emerged in his memory.Those eyes that were confused and expecting the future, the dirty, cracked face, the man lost his wife, the woman lost her husband, parents and children were separated, and those stories could have never happened.

Although those sufferings are far away from him.

But what Ms. Misu had told, the lingering sea of ​​​​fire in Dollyphin, he had personally experienced.

He personally experienced the story that lingered in the sea of ​​fire for a long time.

He also witnessed the tragedy of the Dragon Witch with his own eyes.

The wailing of Iddus, the shadow in the shape of a dragon, lingers on the land, and the sorrow that the Oathkeeper has experienced should never happen again.

Behind those sad stories, there is a pair of common hands.From the Dragon Worshipers, to the Crow Claw Temple, to the Shadowman, and finally to the people in front of him.So what kind of mentality are these people leading all this?

He has been thinking about such a question since Traveler's Rest.

The gemstone in his hand was shining, and he said, "Sir Ash's manuscript is indeed in my hand, and this is what you are looking for."

The young man breathed a sigh of relief, no doubt about him, and was about to reach out to pick him up.

But Fang Plover withdrew his hand.

He looked at each other.

"But why should I give it to you?"

"It doesn't matter to me to testify against people I don't know at all. Because I know that the people who caused everything in the North that day are here, and you are the ones who should pay for it. I don't like it. Lightly avoiding the point, letting your rhetoric embellish everything, but I just can't turn a blind eye to the fact—”

He stared at the young man, and replied word by word: "As I said, the government only pays attention to evidence, but I don't need it. To me, it's more important to just let your plan fail."

The young man looked at him in surprise.

The astonished gaze turned into a kind of burning anger, and he snapped his hands forward angrily, trying to reach out and snatch what was in Fang Plover's hand.

But Fang Plover retracted his hand as expected, held the gray gem tightly in his palm, and looked at this person coldly.He even felt pity in his heart. If these people knew that what they were looking for was not what they were looking for, how would they express their expressions?
But he would never tell them that.Seeing these people being blinded by the conspiracy he planned, it gave him a kind of pleasure of revenge. Those who planned the conspiracy were finally wronged by the conspiracy. This may be the goodwill of the world itself.

"Are you crazy!?" The young man took a moment to realize that the other party was playing with him, and said sullenly, "What good will this do for you?"

"The advantage is that I am happy," Fang Plover put the gray gem into his pocket in front of the other party, and patted it with his hands, as if it was such an important thing, "I like what you said very much, everything Different people have different values, but when you trample on the value of others, why have you ever thought about this."

He raised his hand, and the magic pointer on the magic glove was shining brightly.

When the young man saw him raise his hand, he realized that it was not good.My heart was so shocked that the hairs stood on end, and I subconsciously rolled to one side.

With a scream, the rocket flew past the young man with a long, thin steel wire, and hit the fireplace behind with a bang, causing the chimney above to collapse directly, and the walnut wall panels on both sides burst open , smoke and dust filled the air, masonry and sawdust flying.

This loud noise startled everyone.

There were chaotic footsteps downstairs, and two soldiers from the patrol guard pushed open the door, "What happened!?"

The young man climbed up from the ruins, and shouted at the guards in disgrace, "Get out!"

The guard was taken aback, knowing that he was the Duke's envoy, he didn't dare to say more, and quickly closed the door and retreated.

Fang Yan missed a hit, and felt a little pity that the pride of the lonely king was not with him today, otherwise this person would have gone to the temple to be resurrected.But he didn't intend to do it anymore, he only input magic power, started the winch, and dragged his magic glove back from the ruins little by little.

The young man patted the dust on himself and stood up, "...I don't understand why you made this choice. Most people in this world are benefit animals, and those people are the same. The tragedy happened to them body, it’s just because they didn’t have a chance to do anything to us. Those dusty characters, what do they value, what does it have to do with you and me?”

"Well said," Fang Yan replied, "I'm the same, so what do you value? You can't understand my motives, just like I can't understand people like you. I tried to understand you , but found it all in vain—"

He looked at each other with sarcasm, "It is destined that people cannot understand each other. I hope you can understand this after today."

"you--"

The young man could no longer maintain his demeanor, and looked at him with resentment, "Don't think that Friston has promised you, he can't help you. And I just don't want to die with people like you, but really When you get to that step, you'd better think carefully..."

"I know you're threatening us with Laila," Fang Plover retracted the magic glove, put it on his hand with a 'click', and replied, "But you can give it a try."

It was the first time that Fang Plover showed such undisguised murderous intentions to others.

He'd never been that kind of person before, but just being in the presence of this person made him feel physically uncomfortable.

The young man was forced to take a step back subconsciously by his cold gaze, and then he realized that he shouldn't be so weak, and he said angrily:

"You wait!"

Fang Yan looked up at the other party, and replied lightly:
"I am waiting."

Leaving this sentence behind, he didn't bother to pay any attention to this person, turned around and left.

Anyway, the purpose of his coming up was to confirm the identity of the other party. Now that the purpose has been achieved, the military only needs to report the truth.

……

At the end of the entire April, Atalia's attention was drawn to this big event that took place in the Continental League, the confrontation between the Mobius Craftsman Association and the Seven Mage Families in the empire.

But time soon entered May, and at the beginning of summer in the Clover Plain, another thing diverted everyone's attention.

An envoy of lizardmen from Gudathok arrives at the Imperial Capital.

This is the first time since the Year of the Rain that the Great Council has sent envoys to the Empire in two centuries, so that people have forgotten the ancient eyes from the wild rainforest in the long time, but there is a gap between them. Another country in the Great Rift Valley, the relationship with the empire has never been far away from beginning to end.

Gudasok is not a real floating continent.

During the disaster at the end of the Black Throne period, the Xintaan Continent was hit by a meteorite, and the entire central part sank under the Abyss Sea, forming today's Great Rift Valley.And the era of the Sinthas Snakeman also fell because of this. After that, Gudasok split from the ancient Cintaan Air and Land, and has been peaceful since then.

Therefore, to this day, it is generally believed that there are four main air lands in Etalia.Ishurian, Hill of Giant Trees, Lotao and Cintaan.The jungle of Gudasok is nothing but a subcontinent split from Guxintaan.

Because of this special relationship, the grievances between the imperial people and the lizardmen in the jungle can almost be written as a chronicle covering most of Xintaan's period.

In the era when Gudasok founded the country, the empire had not yet been born.And the day the empire was born, the lizard people had already declined.

But the gaze from the jungle, always vigilantly watching the rise of mortals, should bear witness to the prophecies from the age of the stars and sages.Two very different civilizations are separated from each other by a great rift valley, and there have been wars and times of peace.

However, for the empire, the relationship with the Great Council in the rainforest is undoubtedly more important than the relationship with other countries.

Just like Istonia and the ancient tower are to Colin, the two countries on the Xintaan continent are originally one.

But before the five magic emperors long before the Stuart Dynasty, during the Northern Empire period, the lizardmen had antagonized the empire because of the overlap of imperial power, and the two countries have always maintained vigilance against each other since then.

The empire stationed seven legions, a fleet, and two guild kingdoms in the south, all to guard against threats from the south.And among the seven electors of the lizard people, three of their territories were always stuck on the border of the empire leading to Gudasok.

Now that the envoys of the Great Council are coming again, this is undoubtedly an expression of goodwill.

The relationship between the Ossaurs and the Gudasok lizardmen has eased again.

This is great news for every country in Altaria.Because no matter how the relationship between the empire and the Great Council changes, it will have a decisive impact on the empire's external attitude. Someone once joked that the empire will and will always be in war.

When one war ends, it often means the beginning of another.

It's just a joke, but it sums up the aggressiveness and belligerence of the Oshurians well.

And when the Oshurs ended their two-century confrontation with Gudasok, where would the released power go? This is undoubtedly a question that everyone on the continent needs to care about.

Because of this, when the lizardman envoys arrived in the imperial capital, everyone's attention was instantly drawn from the events in the continental league to this undoubtedly more important news.

The Great Council has come—

And the person who came was not a small person, but one of the seven new electors, the prince of the dragon lizard clan of the Whitehead clan, and a long-known warrior among the lizardmen.

But compared to this identity, what is more eye-catching is the latter's other identity.

Heroes of Fenris.

On the day Telarik led the envoys to the imperial capital, the Fenrisians sent a message of goodwill to the empire through the Artisan Association. Just as Fenris never forgot Fang Plover, they never forgot the lizard prince. .

But this message of goodwill.

In the eyes of more people, it is more like a gauntlet.

And Prince Tenarik really lived up to expectations, accepted the gauntlet and made a request to the empire on the spot.

Release Fang Plover and his party.

The world was in an uproar.

……

"It's impossible—"

Above the Imperial Court of the Silver Helmets, Duke Hawke categorically rejected this request.

The duke is a handsome figure, wearing a blue satin robe, holding a scepter, now in his fifties, but still in the prime of life, with a short beard on his lips, and black hair with only a few silver strands.

Tall, he gazed over the royal court at the lizardmen from Gudathok, envoys of the Great Council, sweeping darkly over the guardians of Asoka's dark lore before landing on Tenaric body.

"This is the internal affairs of the empire," he said in a decisive tone, without any room for relaxation, "it is not something to bargain. It involves an unsolved case of more than [-] years. Several great wizards, and the empire Several big families are closely related."

The others looked up the hall.

The supreme man on the throne, wearing a high crown, showed no emotion on his face, with a philosophical hand forged like silver in one hand, covering the orb, and the hem of the thick robe was hanging down. to the top of the steps.

From a distance, it doesn't look like a person, but more like a god visiting the mortal world.

His Majesty the Emperor only showed a little interest in this, "That young man with the same name as the great alchemist Ed, is the chosen one?"

Friston, who was not far from him, nodded. The chairman came all the way from Aiyin Brock, and he arrived at the imperial capital not long ago. He was summoned and appeared in the royal court.

In fact, His Majesty the Emperor knew about this matter a month ago. When the turmoil in Ai Yin Brock happened, the news was passed to the Silver Helmets. Who would dare to easily cover up the confrontation between the four dragon knights?But that incident happened for more than a month, and there was no follow-up, and the Supreme had obviously forgotten it long ago.

After listening to Friston's narration, he nodded slightly, with a noncommittal expression on his face.

"Why did the envoys of the Great Council know about this person?"

Tenarik glanced at Duke Hawke, and there was an undisguised coldness in the dragon-shaped vertical pupils.

It took a step forward and said, "Ed is my human brother and a distinguished guest of the Asoka family. Even in the Great Council, his status is only more respected than mine. You say this is the business of human beings themselves , but I'm afraid not always."

"how do I say this?"

asked the Most High.

"Your Majesty, you should know why we have come," Tenarik replied, "The stars of Tower Heth have risen, and our two families have always kept the agreement since the Year of the Rain, and now it is the day when the agreement takes effect. , we are here to retrieve that holy object."

"I understand," His Majesty the Emperor replied, "after the Continental League is over, you can bring that holy object from the Silver Tower back to Gudasok, as a bond between the imperial people and the Gudasok lizardmen." A testament to friendship."

Tenarik nodded, "Your Majesty knows the truth as the sages said, so you should understand that Guanghai is about to make waves, the year of the dragon election has come, and the person chosen by the stars has appeared."

"The Chosen One of the Stars?" His Majesty pondered for a while, "You mean?"

Duke Hawke's complexion changed.

"Ed," Tenarik began, "my human brother, who was blessed by the stars on Fenris Isle, is one of the candidates."

"That's impossible!" His Excellency the Duke angrily reprimanded, "It's nonsense!"

But Tenarik only turned his head and looked at him with dragon-shaped vertical pupils, "Of course this is not groundless, because I am also one of the candidates. I saw it with my own eyes, and I accepted the trial with my human brother and took a bath. Blessings from Gwanghae."

"The Tada lizard tribe, the priests of Ka-Cuilan, and the wizards of Asuka can all testify to this. The catastrophe in Fenris is actually just a harbinger of waves in the sea of ​​light. The reason why the three major lizard tribes appeared In that place, it was not a coincidence.”

It looked around at everyone in the hall.

"It's just that mortals don't know this."

There was silence in the hall.

……

　Huh, the pride of the lonely king has not been confiscated, I have cerebral palsy, so I changed it.
