Pillars of Ita

Chapter 945 Chapter 270 Scene Six Farewell and New Members
"My name is Dalier, Dalier-the stars," the lion female knight stood in front of Fang Plover, squinting at him with long and narrow eyes, and there was a sense of scrutiny in the strange-colored pupils.Her voice was a little rustling, like the wind blowing through the autumn woodland, laziness, and a fruity fragrance.

But Fang Plover immediately realized that it was the smell of the other party's perfume.

With a faint breath of the wind of the Great Tree Hill--

It has been three days since Miss Attila and the big cat returned to the Hill of Giant Trees.Three days ago, they went to the airport to see them off, and even Tianlan went there, crying like crazy, this is the first time Fang Ploy saw this naughty little girl crying like this.

However, Haicier was willing to let her out, which surprised Fang Yan.It seems that the ten nightingale kings are not as unkind as the rumors say, or the relationship between the two siblings is not as bad as Tian Lan described. He even caught a glimpse of the vice president of the twelve-color iris from afar in the airport. figure.

The other party didn't deliberately hide it.

Halsey was obviously here to protect Tianlan.

But Tian Lan was crying so badly that she didn't notice this.Jita's eyes were also red, and the big cat man on the trestle was patting the shoulders of the two little girls, comforting them with gentle words. Blow away the feathers, and one day also bring encounters.

One day, we will meet again.

The wind brings messages, and it also ages memories. The bits and pieces of the past are now turned into bitter wine of parting.Luo Yu and Luo Hao looked at each other in silence, Zi Zi didn't feel much about it, parting will always reunite, and it's not like never going back, he held his magic sword there alone, mysteriously pretending to be cold.

The Paparars were unusually lonely.He came from the Hill of Giant Trees with Tianlan, Attila and Big Catman, and spent the longest time together. He can be said to be the earliest members of the Seven Seas Brigade, even earlier than Fang Plover.

Although there is no normal form on weekdays, there will always be emotional precipitation in people's hearts. The Paparals can't help but think of a kind of gin that they secretly drank in Sanshak. The entrance is refreshing, but it has a bit of bitterness. The return of sweetness is like life and friendship.

But after a while, Parker picked up another imperial gold coin worth five hundred rissels on the trestle bridge, and he became happy again.

Altila stood in front of Fang Plover and Sylvaide. She adjusted the collar of Fang Plover for the last time, and gently flattened it with her hands, just like a sister packing for a younger brother who is about to go out.

She took a step back and looked at the two of them. Fang Plover and Sylwede held each other's hands, fingers intertwined, and both looked at her.Attila stepped forward, hugged the two of them, and said softly, "Ed, take good care of yourself these days."

There was deep nostalgia in her eyes, just like a sister exhorting a younger brother, that doting tone made Fang Plover's nose sore.

He has never met his parents, and the only relatives around him are his uncle, aunt, Ms. Zhang Rou, and cousin Tang Xin. Although his uncle's family treats him very well, it is Miss Elf who really makes him feel the love of an elder sister.

"Take care of Sylvaide." Altila said softly again.

Fang Plover just nodded.

He felt a slight strain in the hand in his palm.

Attila turned her head back again, "Sylvie, help me take care of Ed."

"I understand," Sylviede replied, "Leave it to me, Miss Attila."

Etila nodded slightly, and hugged the two of them for a long time before leaving. Miss Elf, who seldom expresses her feelings on weekdays, also had slightly red eyes.She turned her head away without saying a word. She left the Hill of Giant Trees alone and went to Colin-Ishurian to find her missing brother, but she heard bad news.

For a period of time, she regarded Fang Plover as her younger brother, but the other party was not Alfonskid, and she knew this very well in her heart.

It's just the sustenance in the heart, which gradually turned into real feelings after getting along with each other for a long time.She saw many shadows of the past from that young man, and those shadows faded away one by one, turning into memories, and what remained in the end was his uniqueness.

There is no blood connection between her and the mortal boy, but there are unspoken emotions.

The time of mortals is short, and time flies. From the perspective of the long-lived elves, perhaps inadvertently, they will miss each other.The destinies of elves and mortals meet at a certain moment, but they will eventually turn into two independent parallel lines——

And in the long years, we can only recall those short, golden beauties that are worth cherishing.

She hopes to keep every moment of this short time firmly in her heart, guarding this human youth to spend his life, cherishing every passing moment.But after all, she is the daughter of the forest, the temple has issued an order to her, and the shadows in the forest are spreading and growing, and it is time for her to leave.

"Okay, Ed, we have a chance to see you again."

Miss Elf turned away.

The big cat people also came up, took a look at each of them, and then took out something to give to Fang Plover, it turned out to be his pipe. "The Annihilator is the property of the Seven Seas Brigade. I should have kept it," said the big cat man, "but I may have to deal with some things during this trip. Maybe this sword can help."

"So I will store the pipe with you first, because one day we may meet again, and Etila and I will go back to the hill of the giant tree first, remember to bring the Seven Seas Brigade to Sangshak to have a look. Me and St. The lady will be waiting for you all the time, and then return it to me."

Fang Plover couldn't help thinking of the lion pistol that Sylwede gave Ai Xiaoxiao, and now the big cat man came to play the same trick with him again.They were all there at the time, and they didn't know what kind of idea Mr. Reid was playing at the moment.

He always felt that there was something in the big cat's words, but the other party was like this, and he couldn't understand what he said.

For the wind will tell everything.

But the Traveler of the Seven Seas will definitely go to Sanshak, riding the south wind, passing through the starry night, and reaching the other shore.

He will not leave any member behind.

Fang Plover took the pipe and nodded with restraint. He blinked his eyes to keep the tears from falling, so as not to make himself look too weak.But the man does not flick his tears lightly, but he is not yet emotional.

Miss May, Alisa, Baggins and Miss Maid also came forward to say goodbye to the two, and then the bell rang, and the big cat man and Miss Elf, surrounded by six knights, boarded the liner.The big cat man and Attila stood at the stern and waved to them.

The liner gradually went away.

Until there is only a faint shadow left.

Fang Plover knew that the big cat man and Etila would go to Yihuus in the north of the empire, and from there they would transfer to the elves' own ship, ride south, pass through the sea of ​​clouds in Hanruina, and finally arrive at the floating cloud The sea of ​​trees, the kingdom where the holy white tree grows.

Only then did he silently withdraw his thoughts from his memory.

Dalier was looking at him with great interest, "Your Majesty the Holy Maiden asked me to stay and take care of you on her behalf, I may bother you for a while, I heard that you have your own boat, can I board it too? "

"Of course, Miss Dalier can do as she pleases," Fang Yan nodded.He naturally knew about Attila keeping the female knight, although he felt that he didn't need to be taken care of by others, but in order to let Miss Elf feel at ease, he didn't object.

What's more, Miss Elf's nursery has to be guarded by someone. This female knight is not Aimiya's guard. Although she is a knight of the temple, her rank is actually a great swordsman, but she has some herbalism. good at.

In fact, when she was in the Shadow Tree Temple, she had been serving as Attila's second-in-command.

"There are still vacant beds on the ship, but Miss Attila's room is full. Miss Dalier can choose the room of Miss Maid, but there are two beds reserved for people, and the remaining one Zhang has no guests yet."

"You don't have to call me Daliel, just call me a puppet," the Lion Knight chuckled, "You are also a Chosen One, right?"

"also?"

Fang Plover looked at each other in surprise.

"Hee hee, Your Excellency the Holy Maiden seems to be paying special attention to you," she replied with a smile, "Daliel-Zongxing is my Christian name, but my chosen ID is actually a puppet. Yes, you I didn’t guess, I’m also a chosen one, and I’m just serving as a guard knight in the Shadow Tree Temple.”

"Muppet?"

The female knight nodded. "That's actually a kind of cat. They are very beautiful. I like them very much. By the way, does Mr. Ed like cats?"

Fang Yan was stunned. The Seven Seas Brigade had a cat in the past, although it only lasted for a short period of time.There is still a nest of squirrels in Mr. Huiyan's side, and an uninvited guest, whether it is a dragon or a lizard, lives on the boat.

He majored in star gate ecology, and he is somewhat interested in all kinds of animals and plants, but he doesn't know if this counts as liking?

There are also some felines in Atalia. Needless to say, there are big cat people, and there is a type of strange monster that he is very interested in, which also seems to have a cat-like appearance, such as displacement beasts.

But is that a cat?

"Yes," the puppet replied self-consciously, "the cat is dangerous and beautiful, gentle and aloof, it is a kind of contradictory creature."

"Speaking of which, I too. In the past, I always had low self-esteem, thinking that everyone in this world was better than me. I often asked myself, what is the value of my existence in this world?"

"—That's why I went through the star gate and came here to find the meaning of life."

"Miss Saintess is very gentle and taught me a lot, so I regained my confidence," the puppet smiled again, "I won't share a room with Her Majesty the Saintess, just let Mr. Ed arrange it But Mr. Ed, cats are aloof and independent, with a strong sense of territory, and so do I—"

"During this period of time, I will play the role of a crew member of the Seven Seas Brigade and perform this position on behalf of Your Excellency. I will listen to Mr. Ed's orders carefully, but please don't invade my privacy too much, Mr. Ed." She stretched out her hand with a smile, "I hope to get along well—"

Miss Catman's paws are not as wide and thick as Rhett's. There is only a thin layer of light golden fluff on them, but they are more slender and slender, so that people can tell that they are a pair of ladies' hands at a glance.

Fang Plover froze for a moment, then reached out to shake the other party.

"Get on well."

During this period of time, Tang Xin and Ai Xiaoxiao have left one after another, and now Big Cat Man and Etila are also traveling to the hill of giant trees. The Seven Seas Brigade has calmed down a lot for a while, and people are not used to it.The addition of Miss Lion Knight added a bit of popularity to the brigade.

But the puppet had to go back to the hotel to organize her luggage, and Fang Plover watched her leave in the hall of gears and magic books.He remembered that before Miss Elf left, he had asked her about the Shadow Tree Temple, but he didn't get much useful information——

After all, Etila is the saint of the Shadow Tree Temple, the daughter of the shadow in the forest, and the unicorn girl.She is a person favored by the goddess, and there are secrets hidden in the shadow in the forest, so it is impossible for her to reveal too much information to the outside world.

She is naturally a member of the Seven Seas Brigade.

But the two identities do not overlap each other, so Fang Plover can roughly understand it.

And according to Miss Attila herself, before she was chosen as the unicorn girl, she was just an ordinary member of the Elf Court.She took Zhongxing as her surname and belonged to the royal family of elves, but the royal family of elves inherited ten families. Except for the mortal family whose blood has been lost, the other nine families left many bloodlines.

The elf royal family is sometimes just a title.

Of course, her status as a saint is very different.

Emiya has many unicorn girls.

But there is only one Shadow Tree Temple.

However, Miss Elf still gave him the direction. At least the portrait of the blind girl in the manuscript was not consistent with the Lady Shadow in the Forest who inspired her.

Because in the legend of the Hill of Great Trees, the Lady Shadow of the Forest is very similar to her twin sister, so for a long time, the two goddesses were once identified as one.In fact, to this day, not many people know about the existence of the Shadow Tree Temple.

Fang Plover has seen the forest lady Ameiya, and there are statues of her in various natural temples.

When Ms. Forest acts in the material world, she usually appears as an elf woman whose appearance is between 30 and [-] years old (equivalent to [-] to [-] years old for humans), but the blind woman in the portrait looks girlish. very heavy.

It was the same feeling he had seen in the dream.

However, if the Dragon Queen's judgment is wrong, and the blind girl is not Ms. Shadow of the Forest, then it means that Ms. Shadow of the Forest did not have any accidents. Then what happened to the Shadow Tree Temple in the Hill of Giant Trees? what is the problem?
He was a little surprised by this.

Fang Plover watched the Lioness Knight leave, but he wondered if he could ask her about the Temple of the Shadow Tree?After all, the other party is also the secret guard of the Shadow Tree Temple, and he is also a chosen one, so he doesn't have as many scruples as the aborigines.

He thought alone for a while before he saw Laila come out of the hotel.The girl who lived in the attic changed into a mage robe today, holding a magic wand of spells in both hands. She was taken aback when she saw him, and then said hello timidly.

Fang Plover knew that the robe was a gift from Brianna to celebrate her return from the patrol headquarters and escape from prison.

Everyone raised money to buy the magic wand for her. Among them, Mr. Pusher paid the most money, and others, including Matri, more or less followed suit, and the Seven Seas Brigade also paid a For the money, I asked Estina from Gujin Magic Guidance Attic to pick one for her.

Now Fang Plover is well-known in Ayin Brock, and Estina has a good relationship with them, so she readily agreed, and specially selected a high-quality magic wand to be sent over, and returned to them. Discounted.

This made Laila a little flattered.

But now the girl no longer rejects everyone's kindness. This experience has made her grow a lot, and she is no longer the timid and introverted girl in the past—although she is still a little shy at times.But he has already made up his mind that after becoming a true mage, he will continue to stay in the old city to serve everyone.

The people here have been kind to her.

And she would spend the rest of her life paying back.

If Mr. Pusher is old one day, she will shoulder the responsibility and continue to speak out for everyone in the old city.Presumably, after she becomes an official mage, she should always be able to fight for some rights for everyone in the old city.

With such determination and faith, the girl finally became firm.

But Fang Plover saw her coming in and out every day, going to the college to attend classes, maintaining a two-point and one-line life.The Ayn Bullock incident changed the girl a lot, but it didn't affect her life too much. The academy she was in had little to do with the Seven Sorcerers family, and the investors behind it were actually nobles in the city.

There is also the 'Mobius' craftsman's guild.

The battle between the Artisan Association and the Seven Mage Family did not bring any benefits to Laila in the academy.Laila might have been overwhelmed with pointing and pointing in the past, but now she can face it calmly.

Fang Plover called the girl to stop.

"Laila."

Laila paused slightly.She decided to stay in the old city, but her relationship with the Seven Seas Brigade is still closer. In her most critical moment, it was these strangers who had only met her once to help her. Her gratitude to everyone in the Seven Seas Brigade , will only get worse.

But no one in the Seven Seas Brigade could use her rewards, and Laila knew it herself.She was a little self-pitying at first, but with the help of Alyssa and Sylwede, she quickly changed her mentality.

Now she and most people in the Seven Seas Brigade are already close friends, except that she is a little timid when facing the head of the group.

In fact, she didn't dare to deal with Fang Plover, and it was already the limit to take the initiative to say hello, but she didn't expect Fang Plover to stop her uncharacteristically, which made her a little cautious.But of course Laila couldn't pretend that she didn't hear it, she just held the magic wand and looked over in surprise.

"Has the academy encountered any troubles recently?" Fang Yan asked, "Did the patrolling guard come to you again?"

Leila shook her head in a daze, and replied honestly, "No, no, I'm fine, Mr. Captain."

"You can just call me Ed," Fang Yan replied, "Lila, you don't have to be so reserved, I'm just like everyone else, no different. I just want to ask you something, are you free now?"

Lyra nodded slightly.

What Fang Yan wanted to ask was actually about Lynn's family.

The timing had been premature, but their relationship with Laila was different now.In addition, the Seven Seas Brigade will soon go to Nozpitz, and after returning, they will go to the northern border of the Sea of ​​Trees, and I am afraid they will not be able to spare time.

Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to ask the truth about where the Lynn family went after they left the Stag Principality.

"Laila, Mr. Pusher said that you have a certain relationship with Sir Ash-Lynn, and you are from the Lynn family," Fang Yan asked, "President Friston wanted to take the compass from you, He said, too, that it was Ser Ash's—"

"He and Sir Ash are old friends, and you should be aware of that," he continued, "otherwise you wouldn't have given him the compass, right? So the compass was actually left by Mr. Ash Lynn Your relic?"

Lyra nodded.

"Then, Laila, you should know something about Lynn's family, right?" Fang Yan continued to ask, "Mr. Pusher should have told you that before we went to the Empire, we went to the Principality of Stag. You know Xi Erwid, her father was close friends with Ash Lynn, that's why we came to the empire to find the whereabouts of Lynn's family..."

"Lila, can you tell us what happened 20 years ago, where did Lynn's family go after that, and are there any descendants of Sir Ash other than you?"

Lyra looked slightly nervous.

She shook her hand hard, hesitated for a while before shaking her head, "I don't know, Mr. Ed."

"You don't know?" Fang Yan was taken aback.He imagined the answers he might get, even including the possibility that Laila might not tell them such a possibility, but he never thought that Laila would give such an answer.

He remembered that Mr. Pusher had said that Laila had brought a letter of introduction from Lynn's family to Ein Brock. If that was the case, how could she not know about it?

He couldn't help but look at the other party twice, but the girl didn't look like she was lying either.

"What the hell does this happen?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ed..." Laila seemed a little at a loss. On the one hand, she didn't want to lie to the members of the Seven Seas Brigade, but she might not believe some things even if she said them herself.

She never even mentioned those secrets that belonged only to her.

The girl hesitated for a while before finally making up her mind, "It's like this... I, I once lost some memories, Mr. Ed... When I woke up, I was on the boat heading for Ainbulk. I I just remember everything in my hand, the letter, the compass my father left me, and my purpose..."

"...I am a member of the Lynn family, and I want to go to Ayn ​​Brock to become a real mage, just like Sir Ash Lynn once did, and I want to make the Lynn family a real mage family again ..."

"That voice in my head told me so."

Laila frowned and shook her head in confusion, "...I don't know why, I didn't even tell Mr. Pusher about these things, I just thought, maybe one day I will always think about the past everything of."

She seemed a little uneasy, "Mr. Ed, I didn't lie."

"I understand," Fang Yan comforted, "don't worry."

He was full of doubts in his heart, but he could also see the girl's sincerity, because if the other party really wanted to lie, he could change it to a more convincing statement.Such an absurd thing, but she said it made it more real.

But how could there be such an absurd thing?
I lost my memory inexplicably on the boat to Einbrok, and only remembered what happened after that. Is this too much of a coincidence?Or is it that the other party may have experienced some painful things before that, and the brain closed that period of memory out of the principle of self-protection?
Such a thing is not impossible.Maybe it has something to do with the Seven Sorcerers family, or even that cunning lord of the empire, did they find the descendants of Ash Lynn?Had something tragic happened to the Lynn family that Laila became like this?

Is Laila the only survivor of the Lynn family?
But the Seven Sorcerers family is too busy to take care of themselves now. Although they were in the Principality of Stag at first, they did have such suspicions in Aiyinbulok's behavior, but even if Fang Yan wants to investigate this matter now, he can't find an insider. .

The only insider in front of him has lost his memory?

Fang Plover had a headache for a while.

He suddenly remembered something, "That compass was left to you by your father? But isn't that the relic of Sir Ash Lynn?"

Lila shook her head in confusion, "I don't know, but that voice told me so... It should be given to my father by Sir Ash Lynn, and my father left it to me..."

Only then did Fang Yan realize that it was no wonder that the other party valued the compass so much. It turned out to be a relic left to her by her father, so it made sense.He didn't even consider the possibility that Ash Lynn was Lila's father, after all, the age difference between the two was there.

Ash Lynn died 15 years ago, and he was widowed many years ago and has been living alone since then.Although he didn't know what age Lila was this year, but he thought it wouldn't be older than him. Ash Lynn had been widowed for more than ten years, and he was already very old, so it was almost impossible for him to leave a daughter.

It's a pity that the compass itself is not an important object, it should be just a work of Ash Lynn's life, just like the crystal given to them by the old servant.So when Friston showed interest in the crystal, Laila gave the crystal to him in gratitude for his help.

Pity.

Fang Yan thought to himself that he should have come to have a look in advance, maybe he could find some clues.He can only think about whether he can ask for it from the other party next time he sees the master craftsman, or borrow it to take a look.

"Mr. Ed, is there anything else?" Laila asked him timidly.

Fang Plover shook his head, and the clue was cut off again. Fortunately, he had other ways to deal with the star device. Although he was a little disappointed, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

He shook his head and asked the other party: "We are going to Nozpitz recently, and we may not stay in Ainbrok for a long time. I am worried that those who patrol the guards will come to trouble you , Leila, do you want to go to the southern border of the empire with us?"

Laila flinched slightly.

She was a little moved in her heart, but hesitated for a while and still refused.

She had a lot of homework in the academy, and although she was a little worried about the inspection of the guards, after thinking about it, the matter at hand was more important.

Fang Plover nodded, that's what he asked.

Ms. Ming is still staying in Ai Yin Brock, and there are people from the Artisan Association to take care of her. Presumably those people in the patrol guards will not be so blind.What's more, the people who really caused trouble at the beginning have all been imprisoned now, and most of the rest of them have nothing to do with what happened that day.

The Seven Sorcerers family is currently looking for the whereabouts of Duke Hawke. There is silence in the direction of Abenande, and the other party obviously has no time to pay attention to a small reserve mage. .

After dealing with Ayin Brock's affairs, it was time for the Traveler of the Seven Seas to set off.

But before that, he had another meeting with the special operations team sent by Su Changfeng.Although the special operations team had completed the handover of personnel from Ouli's knight a few days ago, Su Changfeng said that the leader of the operation this time was an acquaintance of his, and Fang Yan hadn't met the other party yet.

He knew a lot of people in the military, besides Luo Hao and Alyssa on the ship, there was also Alice who stayed in the special team, and the non-commissioned officer of the Stargate Guard who had met a few times— — Zhang Tianyao.The other party's impression of this smuggler is not good, after all, I caused them a lot of trouble at the beginning.

However, according to Su Changfeng, the other party has been promoted now, and he is no longer in charge of the mission on the side of the Star Gate for the time being, so it may not be the other party who came this time.

And although Alice has been recruited by the military, she and Alyssa have been stained in Fenris after all, and such tasks should not fall on them for the time being.So Fang Yan was a little curious about this, who was the person who came this time.

Of course, he was more curious about his bounty.

Yes, the young man caught by him was registered at the Stargate Port during the battle of Elpaxin, and he had a bounty of up to 50 Rissel.

As a result, Fang Yan never expected that the so-called "agent" of the military he finally met would be a female swordsman who had met him in the southern border, the silver Wislan's sword The Witch, Bai Jia.

"Sister Bai Jia?" Fang Yan was also taken aback when he saw the other party, "Why are you here, the military... aren't you from Silver Wislan?"

Bai Jia was very different from the time in the southern border. She was wearing a black windbreaker—the uniform of the Xingmen Port Special Operations Force. with him.

After listening to Fang Yan's words, she came over and tapped his forehead with her fingers.

"Why, can't it be me?"

"But……"

Fang Plover looked each other up and down.What Bai Jia wore was not only similar in shape to the special operations force, but also had military ranks and low-visibility badges on it. It was a serious military uniform. Ordinary people would go to jail if they wore this.

The more he watched, the more curious he became.

"What's so strange, the military has cooperated with all major guilds," Bai Jia replied, "I am only active in Silver Wisland as a military, and Sophie is still in Silver Wisland."

"Sophie is also one of yours?"

"That's not true," Bai Jia shook her head, "She is a member of Silver Wislan, that's what I said."

As she said, she reached into her pocket, took out a card and handed it over, "This is your bounty, 50 Rissel. There are still some materials in the safe, which are about your mission. You can go there when you are free." The emperor will take it."

But Bai Jia changed the subject, "Speaking of what's going on with you and Miya recently, that girl has scolded you well at my place. She was with me in the past, but she praised you a lot, even me Those who are older sisters are a little jealous."

"What," she asked. "Have you had a fight?"

"what?"

Fang Plover was taken aback, when did it happen?

But he suddenly came to his senses, "By the way, Miss Bai Jia... Miss Miya, is she okay with what happened at the Holy Covenant Mountain?"

"Miss Miya," Bai Jia said with a smile, "you don't have to worry, she's fine, and she may contact you after a while. I can't tell, you really care about her, little guy."

Only then did Fang Zhi heave a sigh of relief.
