In the last few days of El Paxin, Fang Yu fully realized what it means to have a plan that cannot change quickly.

First, soldiers from the Silver Wind Knights appeared near the inn, forcing everyone to move. Fortunately, Sylvide had connections, and Princess Tobrian found a hiding place for them near an old arsenal in the lower area.

What follows is a typical domino-like sequence of planned disasters.

The unexpected action delayed the day's procurement work, delayed the negotiations between Attila and Sylvide and the smugglers in the lower city, and directly led to the postponement of the city plan. In order to meet the time, it also caused an additional increase in costs.

.

Only then did Fang Yu realize that planning is not something to be taken for granted. In an ideal state, one must always face endless surprises.

But misfortunes never come singly. A sudden rainstorm hit El Paxin the next day, and the rainwater poured into the sewers, causing the water level to surge. As a result, it was delayed until the early morning of the third day before the three of them were able to leave the city with the smugglers.

The smugglers took them to the agreed place, collected the balance, and then said goodbye to them and left.

Fang Plover watched those people waving their hands and walking away in the rain. He turned back to look at the wet-haired Red with some surprise, and asked curiously: "I'm still worried that you will conflict with them, Mr. Red?

"

The lion man shook his huge head, causing water to splash and all over the two of them. "Hey, what are you doing, Red!" Parker shouted angrily: "I said it last time, next time

No matter what you do, it’s best to stay away.”

"Ah, I'm sorry, little one," Rhett replied nonchalantly, then turned back and asked Fang Plover, "Why do you say that, little boy, our leader?"

"Aren't you a paladin of Malan? Well... I heard that the paladin of Aitaria hate evil with hatred?"

"It depends on how you define justice, little one," the lion man squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of Elpaxin in the mist and rain, took out his pipe and wiped the muddy water on it, and replied: "We are the knights of the goddess.

We, not the jurists of Blandia, work to strip people of superfluous attributes in order to put them into a framework; we, on the other hand, act according to our hearts.”

"heart?"

"Sympathy, compassion, a sense of honor, a sense of responsibility," Rhett looked at Fang Plover and replied calmly: "The bachelors of Bolandia claim that order does not make mistakes, but we often make mistakes. That is why we understand

Only with the limitations of mortals and not being arrogant and confused can one be worthy of one's heart and worthy of Marlan's teachings."

He looked at the backs of those people in the distance. "Smugglers, thieves, liars, there are all kinds of people in the lower city, but there are also people who are not bad in nature, because sometimes you can't choose your origin. Don't

Biased, Ed, listen carefully to the answer the wind tells you."

"Don't listen to this big cat," the Papalar man wiped the water droplets from his hair and replied angrily: "It's always chattering. The wind won't tell you anything at all. At most, it will make some noise.

Boring scream, woo woo woo"

In response to Parker's rebuttal, the lion laughed and said nothing.

However, Fang Yu only mentioned it, and he didn't really intervene in the debate between the two.

He looked around. They and Etila had made an appointment to meet here. Logically speaking, they had been delayed in the sewer all night. They should have arrived first, but at this time, there were no beasts of burden in the surrounding fields.

Towering back.

This made Fang Yu feel a little worried.

However, he did not expect that he would have to wait for several hours. It was not until almost noon that the tall figure of 'Mr. Gray Rock' slowly appeared in his field of vision.

But when Aitila and his party came closer and Fang Plover got on the beast of burden, he realized that his worries had become a reality:

The newly repaired platform on the back of the beast looked even more miserable than before. One of the suspension bridges was broken, the shield outside the platform was covered with broken arrows, and there were shocking knife marks everywhere. Everyone seemed to have experienced something.

A great battle.

Tianlan's head was wrapped with a somewhat funny gauze. She knocked her head during the battle and had a big bump on her forehead. Miss Atila was slashed on her right arm, and the bandage was stained red with blood, which looked quite scary.

But the most seriously injured of all was Kitta. In order to protect her books, the future naturalist lady tried her best to block the gangsters with her thin body and prevented them from rushing into the house. However, the sword wound on her right chest was almost penetrating.

Although a therapist was hired to save his life after the battle, he was still suffering from infection and high fever. In a world without antibiotics, he could only rely on the long-term care of a priest.

There was no Mirela priest in the team, and Elpaxin could not find any professional clergy who might be able to take care of her. Fortunately, Sylvide was qualified as a pharmacist, and the noble lady took the initiative to take care of Kita.

This attack came so suddenly that it was almost impossible to find a clue.

Fang Yu asked Etila what the battle was all about, but the latter couldn't explain the reason and just shook his head slightly.

The attacker was not one person, but had an obvious organization, but they did not leave much information on the battlefield. They suddenly appeared and left before the guards arrived. Tianlan told him that it seemed that Jita saw the attack in the chaos.

The identity of the perpetrator was revealed, but the clue to the little girl's current condition was of no use.

The battle took place before leaving the city.

But what enemies do they have in Elpaxin? First of all, it can't be the military and the Silver Wind Knights. They don't have the use of such methods.

The first thing that Fang Yu thought of was the 'eldest sister' and his party he met at Traveler's Rest. They did have a motive, and they recognized Atila and Tianlan, but it was doubtful whether the other party had the strength.

Then he has another potential enemy, the Red Jackets of Jefflite, descendants of Flor. The Red Jackets have this strength, but they don’t seem to have the motive. Even if the Red Jackets see the Continental League and recognize it

I don't know Etila and Tianlan either.

Or maybe it's the Dragon Cult. But this hypothesis is too horrifying. They haven't even officially started the investigation, and the other party has already come to the door. Isn't this a bit too much?

Fang Yu couldn't think of a reason, so he had to ask some detailed questions. Only then did he know that the attacker's level was not low. Ordinary members would not be inferior to Etila, but Sylvide's maid could fight one against two or even two.

One against three.

Fang Yu didn't know how high Shesta's level was, but he knew that Aitila's total level was level 13, of which there were a total of 9 combat levels. Level 6 hunter and level 4 druid were originally level 3, but

After the battle of Traveler's Rest, it was upgraded to another level. The natives themselves do not have a selector system, but Aitaria is an information state after all, and Tianlan and others can help check her information.

The combined experience invested by a level 6 hunter and a level 4 druid equals a level 9 ranger. Of course, the elf girl also has a level 7 chef level, but that one has no combat effectiveness, so it can compete with the level 9 ranger.

The Foresters were at a disadvantage when fighting alone, and the average level of their opponents had at least reached the level of ordinary members of the Silver Forest Spear or the main team of the Jeffrite Red Team.

This level is even higher than the ordinary soldiers of Kaolin-Ithurion.

Organizations with such strength are rare in the First World. Upon closer inspection, there are only a few large guilds, plus the Kaolin Merchant Alliance, the Craftsmen Association and other forces of the same level.

Could it be that they were really the Jeffree Red Team? Fang Plover couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

The only lucky thing in the whole thing was that Attila and the others were together with Sylvester. The other party seemed not to have expected the strength of the noble girl maid, and relied on Siesta to block the attacker's attack until the guards arrived.

Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.

Fang Yu thanked Sylvide specifically. However, what surprised him was that Sylvide was not dissatisfied because she was involved. She seemed to be not as squeamish as she said, but just generous.

I accepted his thanks.

And throughout the next day, such an attack did not happen again. However, this did not mean that the situation began to get better. The rain became heavier that night, which greatly affected the team's progress.

The original plan was to arrive at Karifan at noon on the fourth day, but it was not until midnight that we saw the shadow of the abandoned town.

Therefore, the usual trip length often refers to ordinary conditions, without taking into account bad weather. Fang Plov learned a new lesson. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh and looked at the rain pattering on the window lattice.

superior.

The water splashed over the wooden texture layer by layer, slid down along the window sill, flowed to the ground, and seeped through the gaps in the wooden boards.

Rain had been leaking from several holes left in the previous battles, and the rain floated into the house and hit his face, giving him a little chill. Although Luo Yu briefly repaired the roof in the rain yesterday, it obviously didn't cause anything.

effect.

A gentle cough came from the bed behind me.

Fang Yu turned around and looked at Miss Naturalist who was curled up in the quilt. She was usually a little shy and looked even quieter and softer at the moment. She closed her eyes tightly, her thick eyelashes drooped gently, her small face looked like

It was a piece of pale paper, with a tightly pursed mouth, so delicate that it seemed to be broken, and the breath could not be heard.

After Fang Yu confirmed that her condition was relatively stable, he checked to see if there was any raindrops on the ceiling, and then stretched out his hand to pull the quilt for her.

The room was filled with a strong herbal smell.

Naturally, Jita is here for the convenience of him and Sylvide. After all, both of them have some knowledge of pharmacy, but Sylvide is more professional in this area, and his pharmacy knowledge is mostly related to alchemy.

.

In fact, due to the addition of Sylvide and her maid, the originally cramped space on the platform finally became stretched. In addition, time was too short and did not give them the opportunity to transform the platform. Therefore, Attila could only open the utility room.

A separate compartment was cleared inside, and the barrels and boxes were hung on the rope net behind the negative hill beast outside. Here, wooden boards and cloth curtains were used to separate an independent space as a temporary residence for the master and the servant.

In this way, the master and servant Sylvide lived in the room inside, while Fang Lung still lived alone in the simple space outside.

It sounds a bit charming, but it is not. Not to mention that the two of them barely slept a wink for more than thirty hours to take care of Kita, and even if they took a break from their busy schedule, Sylvester would only study the design drawings with him.

He didn't know where the noble girl got such good energy, and his own head was about to explode.

Fang Yu couldn't help but sigh again, and put the back of his hand against Jita's hot forehead, tested the temperature, then dipped it in water and changed a towel for her. Sylvide told him not long ago that this little girl has passed the test.

Now that the crisis period is over, this can be regarded as the only good news of the day.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look inside.

There is a small compartment at the back of the carriage, with almost only room for two people to turn around. In the room, Sylvester sat on a wooden box, with a suitcase that she never left alone beside it. There were several piles piled beside the suitcase.

The books are all about knight romances, some of which are translated from works written on Earth.

She lowered her head and read the book intently. Occasionally, she turned a page lightly and the pages made a clattering sound.

And as if she felt Fang Plover's gaze, Sylvide raised her head in surprise and asked in a clear voice: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Fang Yu shook his head. "Don't you need to take a rest?" It has been more than thirty hours since Jita was injured, and the other party has hardly slept a wink. Not to mention he is in high spirits, but it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

Sleepy look.

"No need," Sylvide smiled slightly, but the answer was not what he expected. "But Mr. Captain, you must be more tired than me. Are you almost done?"
