Pillar of Yita

Last time such a scene appeared was during the era of the Battle of Bain, and the harmony of public voices quickly heated the relationship between the Invokers and the Natives, even hinting at a honeymoon phase.

A harmonious scene, on the other hand, also lightened some of the increasingly tense atmosphere of recent days.

As a result, the Super Competitive League extended an invitation to him, and several Grand Guilds expressed their willingness to have him join, but whether this ”olive branch” came with thorns, Fang Hong could not guarantee. So they haven’t found ”him” yet.

What was more unexpected was that even the typically neutral Ishurian Royalty, this time issued an order to confer a noble title on the ”Hero” Invoker of Fenris Isle.

Although Fang Hong thought the word ”confer” was rather ominous.

After that order, there actually came a less noticeable appendix. When Princess Briana pulled out that appendix, Tianlan read the text softly, then said with some surprise,

”Miss Hilveld, they are looking for you too!”

Everyone turned to look at Miss Ship’s Officer, and Fang Hong exchanged glances with her, understanding well whose hand had issued this command.

”It seems someone noticed you with Hilveld at that time,” Atira began, ”Perhaps that first edict also had another meaning.”

Princess Briana nodded, she was the only one among them who had watched the ”live broadcast” back then: ”The situation was very clear at that time, it was easy for those people to spot Hilveld there — but fortunately, Ade’s ’disappearance’ now somewhat serves as a protection for you.”

”But that way, doesn’t Brother Ade lack a noble title?” Tianlan asked.

”All empty titles, as easy to erode as sand in the wind,” the Big Cat Person removed his pipe, speaking, ”Perhaps unburdened by them, our captain can be more commendable, the true nobility comes from the soul.”

Parker knocked on the table, disagreeing with this statement, to him shining gold coins were foremost, being realistic is essential — especially for a Papalarian.

However, Fang Hong also heard the underlying implication in Atira’s words, that so-called noble title might be a trap, if he really took the title seriously, he might fall straight into that Prime Minister’s trap.

”Brother Ade, would our upcoming trip to Golande be unsafe?” Gita frowned as she looked at the appendix, then pushed her thick, round glasses up and asked.

Fang Hong was about to explain.

But instead, Hilveld spoke up beside him, softly answering: ”The most dangerous place is not necessarily the safest, but at least it offers a time gap, by the time they realize it, we might have already left that area.”

Fang Hong nodded, ”Right now, there are a few things we must do. First, we promised to deliver a letter for Mr. Mazak, and the other thing, is to go to the Adventurers’ Guild in Golande to check if the Morning Dawn Star still exists, and to formally assemble our team.”

”By the way, we also need to investigate Mr. Kid’s matter, to see if the second employer left any information at the Artisan Association, chances are slim, but as long as there is a sliver of a possibility, we always have to try it.”

”And these tasks, their destinations all point to Golande or nearby areas, so this trip is essential, no matter what.”

He looked at the others, actually, this trip to Golande also involved another matter, namely that he, Parker, and Xiangzi had all gained a tremendous amount of experience in the trial, and it was urgent to spend that experience.

Though Cloud Harbor was prosperous, it was merely a commercial transit port, while Golande, as one of the Kingdom’s two capitals, would have everything they needed.

Since the Dragon’s Claw minions he killed last were all Dark Creatures, the experience he gained during this mission was remarkably impressive; although he wasn’t the one to settle the mission, Fang Hong estimated his Character Level might have jumped by more than four levels.

Even surpassing Dolifen and his group.

And Xiangzi and Parker might have a bit less, but at least a two or three level increase, with Xiangzi’s original Level only being eight, a bit lower than his, a three-level rise was entirely expected.

Thinking this, Fang Hong involuntarily cast a glance at Atira, who had previously learned from Hilveld some experiences of her brother after leaving Giant Tree Hill, she just nodded lightly, ”The outcome of Kid’s affair is hard to alter, but indeed I also want to visit the Adventurers’ Guild, as for the other aspects, Ade, as a captain, you naturally can decide with a single word.”

”Alright, let me explain the plan thereafter.”

Fang Hong then placed his hand on the table, spreading out a large map, pointing at it and saying:

”Miss Hilveld, everyone has already understood the matter of your father and unanimously agreed to get involved in it, so calculating approximately, the time Ishurian Royalty takes to prepare a new ship fleet could be around one and a half to two years.”

”That is to say, the latest, two years, the earliest one and a half years — that is the time we have. And within this year and a half or two years, our primary mission, naturally, is to strive to enhance our own strength. But that’s only one aspect, the second, is to figure out how to build our own Floating Hovercraft — or rather, complete the design of the ’Seven Seas Traveler,’ because this is also a prerequisite for us to head to the Second World.”
