The weather in early spring is getting warmer, and Su Ri'an still has a chilly spring when it comes to the morning and evening. But Fang Yi is no longer the little thief with only 13 o'clock in physique, so he basically doesn't feel the chill at all.

However, in order to cater to his current identity, Fang Yi still tightened his coat as if he was decent and spit out a few sips of mist. Thinking of the news he had just received and looking at all in front of him, Fang Yi couldn't help but grin.

"The dragon travels all over the world...hehe~"

For so long, Long Xingtianxia has been using some small moves to disgust Taohua Island, or to disgust Fang Yi. This behavior similar to a child's angrily glance is very despised by the people of Taohua Island. Even Fang Yi is a little confused. I don't know what it means to always play such a child's trick.

Until now, Fang Yi saw the other party's intention for the first time - using small movements to paralyze the Peach Blossom Island, and then let it be fatal in one blow?

This is a good plan.

Fang Yi's eyes flashed slightly, and he kept wandering around. He had already begun to think about how to have some fun in Long Xingtian's large-scale mission.

...

As night falls, the bright moon and the beautiful asteroid belt surrounding the moon appear again, decorating the blue and black night sky with extraordinary beauty.

Under the faint moonlight, the small pier was cold, and everything seemed to be frozen together by the water-like moonlight. Except for the occasional pirates holding torches, they could not see anything else moving.

No, if you look closely, you will find that there is a black shadow moving in the shadow under the moonlight. Although it moves fast, it is silent like a ghost, making people unable to help but feel the illusion of "this is a ghost".

This is the effect of stealth skills that are 2 levels higher than ordinary players.

Fang Yi's figure suddenly stopped behind a wooden box, poked out half of his head, looked at the pirates guarding around the stone building, and reached out to take out the Deep Earth Walker's amulet from his bag.

It has been two days since I discovered the tricks on the island archipelago and then got into the dock of Conch Town.

In the past two days, Fang Yi carefully scouted on several surrounding islands and found that not every island had shipbuilding craftsmen. These craftsmen would regularly travel back and forth between several islands, guiding the workers' work, and then return to their previous residence.

Roughly speaking, there should be a total of six craftsmen on the thirteen nearby islands.

So Fang Yi had the idea of ​​these craftsmen - if they could bring these craftsmen to Taohua Island, wouldn't they be happy?

Hehe. It's perfect ~

The stone building was built directly on the ground. Fang Yi successfully dived into the room from underground.

The simple decorations and the air-permeable windows, Fang Yi, who came out of the soil, took a breath and felt that the temperature in the room was no different from that outside.

There are two wooden beds on the east side of the house. Two of the three craftsmen are lying there, huddling in the shabby bedding, sleeping soundly. There are leftover bread, bacon and a bottle of rum on the wooden table in the middle. It seems that the three craftsmen are treated well.

Fang Yi pulled out the dagger and came to the wooden bed, but hesitated for a while when he saw the two of them, then turned around and went upstairs along the stairs.

The two of them are always difficult to deal with. If they are light, they are afraid that the two of them will scream and will attract the pirates. What should I do if I kill them? Now Fang Yi has regarded these craftsmen as the property of Taohua Island, but he is reluctant to hurt them.

The environment upstairs is much better than downstairs, at least the charcoal in the fireplace is still on fire, so it is not very cold.

A dwarf with gray-black hair and beard lay on the bed, facing the direction of the stairs, staring at his eyes in a daze. With the many fine scars on his face, Fang Yi, who was touching the stairs, was startled.

I'll go, it's scary!

Fang Yi took a deep breath and looked at it carefully before he was sure that the other party was not sleeping, but was staring blankly with his eyes open. Then he cursed inwardly and walked over.

"Don't make a sound!"

The elf dagger pressed steadily on the artery on the dwarf's neck, and Fang Yi also appeared from the air and whispered: "Don't worry, Mr. Dwarf, I'm not interested in your life."

The subdued dwarf's pupils suddenly contracted, and a "gurgling" sound subconsciously made in his throat, but he immediately suppressed his fear with reason. The expression of panic just flashed by, and his dark brown eyes stared silently at the human assassin in front of him, waiting for the other party's following.

These are weathered eyes.

The eye sockets were covered with fine wrinkles, and the rough skin was witnessed by countless days and nights, wind and frost. After the initial shock and panic, the eyes were only calm and firm, which made Fang Yi suddenly feel an illusion that he was facing the legendary knight Somantu, rather than a middle-aged dwarf who had no combat power at all.

(For the feeling of these eyes, please refer to Halo 4: Master Chief who took off his helmet)

In reality, people with a little social experience can tell from a person's eyes and expression that the other party is a young man or a mature person who has experienced ups and downs and worked hard, and the same is true in the game.

The dwarf in front of him looked like he was only over 200 years old. If he was converted to human age, he was about forty or fifty years old. However, his vicissitudes of eyes and calm expression made people feel strange at first glance. Even Fang Yi, a guy who has been in society since childhood, frowned.

This guy is not easy to fool...

After a pause, Fang Yi continued, "Where is your hometown?"

“I’m from Cormier’s Rockland,”

The already low voice of the middle-aged dwarf vaguely and deliberately lowered his voice, making it even more hoarse, "My name is John. Spear."

"John?" Fang Yi raised his eyebrows and said. The word "John" is not in the dwarf's language. This is obviously a name used in human society.

"Well, I was an orphan since I was born, and I grew up in a human society. This name my human uncle gave me,"

John Spy said word by word: "I don't have to lie to you, right? I think you are not here just to ask about my life experience?"

Fang Yi grinned and said, "Haha, that's right, I want you to leave this island immediately and stay away from the island archipelago. What do you think?"

After hearing Fang Yi's words, John's two thick and long eyebrows that were unique to the dwarfs immediately shook, his eyes full of doubts, "Why?"

"No need to ask why, you will know in the future."

Fang Yi moved the dagger in his hand, indicating that he now had the initiative. He smiled and said, "Let's go now~"

The cold blade pressed tightly against the dwarf's neck, giving the other party no room for resistance. However, beyond Fang Yi's expectations, the dwarf in front of him was motionless, just staring at himself with a quiet look. "Young man, I'm afraid I can't meet your requirements."

"Even if you lose your life, you will be willing to do anything?" Fang Yi asked with a raised eyebrows.

"It's all you can do." John lowered his eyes and said. Under the cover of the beard, Fang Yi could see the entanglement in the other person's expression, but more of it was firm.

Interesting ~

Fang Yi narrowed his eyes and thought to himself that according to the information he received, the Cormier Empire did recruit shipbuilding craftsmen on a large scale some time ago. John in front of him should be one of them - but most of them are civilians. Even the nobles and ruling class, their loyalty to the empire cannot be to the extent that they have given up their lives, right?

The two men looked at each other speechlessly. Five or six seconds later, Fang Yi broke the extremely depressing silence, "I need you, you, and other shipbuilding craftsmen, and I don't want you to hold a grudge against me. So if you have any unspeakable difficulties, maybe you can tell me."

"...Thank you, but you can't help me."

The other party pressed his neck with a dagger and said thank you. This scene was very strange. But John's expression still did not change much, he just looked up at the direction of the stairs.

That was reminding Fang Yi that as an assassin, you have stayed for too long.

Looking at the dwarf in front of him who seemed to have many stories, the keen intuitive sense of mission clues appeared in Fang Yi's mind again. So after just a little hesitation, Fang Yi moved the elf dagger away, then lifted the cloak, revealing the silver-glowing Misilian Lord badge on his chest, and said in a very seductive tone.

"If I say I am the lord of the Mithril, the king of the Peach Blossom Island, and the owner of the Silver Dragon... do you think I can help you?"

...

On the sea dozens of miles outside the islands, two sailboats were floating quietly on the sea.

Both ships are similar in size to small merchant ships, but their appearance has changed a lot. The cargo warehouses that occupy a lot of space and unnecessary ship buildings were removed, leaving only the slender hull and two masts.

There were no signs or patterns on the ship that could identify their identities. The whole body was gray-black, and the sails fell down like ghosts.

The two ships received Fang Yi's order to secretly go out from Taohua Island to sea and rushed to the sea of ​​Falling Star to pick up Fang Yi. The hull has undergone special transformation, and everything is based on speed.

When Fang Yi started to build a ship craftsman, he had already given an order to Taohua Island, asking Chen Jing to send two fast ships to head north and wait for his news on the sea of ​​falling stars.

Fang Yi's plan was to destroy the dock here, rob the craftsmen, and ask the Supreme Treasure to send the NPC to the ship, and then return it to Taohua Island. As long as the movement was fast enough, even if the people from the Pirate Islands found traces, they would never be able to catch up with these two transformed boats.

Taohua Island had already spent a lot of money to acquire several merchant ships in Xueshan City and Xingmu City in case of emergency. However, if the ships do not form a scale on this vast sea, they will be like the single cavalry on land. They are just prey in the eyes of others and have basically no combat power. This is why Fang Yi is so eager to form his own fleet of Taohua Island.

At this time, on one of the ships, two figures were standing at the bow of the ship, looking anxiously at the direction of the islands.

One of them was tall and thin, carrying a large giant sword that had been released. It was the female swordsman Atona who was supposed to be on Peach Blossom Island. Another figure with a graceful figure was the number one Valkyrie of Peach Blossom Island and the sword dancer Xiaolei.

At this time, Xiaolei was the only one who was a little free and had enough self-protection ability on the entire Peach Blossom Island. Atona was the best water-eating person on the island, so Chen Jing sent two people to pick up Fang Yi.

"Why is there no news yet? It's midnight!"

Xiaolei paced around the bow of the boat anxiously. Seeing the moon rising higher and higher, time passed toward the second half of the night, but Fang Yi still didn't get any news and didn't reply after sending the message. Xiaolei couldn't help but worry a little.

On the contrary, Atona was as calm as ever, looking at the sea surface around her that was dyed with moonlight into silver orchids, and said calmly: "Sir, don't worry, with the skills and reaction of Lord Lord, there should be no problems."

Xiaolei is the highest commander of all the garrison forces on the island, second only to Fang Yi and Chen Jing. Even Luo Le's usual orders obediently. In addition, Xiaolei's own high skills are deeply admired by a group of arrogant soldiers and generals on Taohua Island, so the NPCs on the island are used to calling Xiaolei the chief.

Xiaolei sighed gently and said with a pout, "You lord, you just like to take risks. You go wherever you are dangerous, and you don't care about the fact that there is still a whole family waiting for him to raise..."

Atona has long been accustomed to the nagging of Fang Yi by these "maids" in the territory, but just smiled slightly and didn't care. The harmonious atmosphere in the territory now made Atona, who had experienced a nightmare, enjoy it very much, and made the female swordsman, like others, vaguely hope that his lord would turn this territory into a real big family.
