Chapter two hundred and seventy-eight turns sharply down(1/3)

 There is a cliff outside the place where the shipyard and the dry dock are connected. In Aitaria, there is actually no fixed name for the dry or floating dock. The locals call it 'uridar'. The reason why it is called this is just

It's just what the selectors are used to.

In front of the dry dock is the lock. The outside of the lock is connected to the sky and the sea, and the straight cliff is located at that place. Fang Plovor discovered that even if they belong to the same Kaolin-Ithurian sky and land, in different areas, the coastal rock formations

There are also big differences.

The steep cliffs made of gray-white chalk and the black forests that were common in the north disappeared in the south. Here there are only undulating yellow sandstones and sporadic thorny shrubs growing on the cliffs, and the wind above the sea blows by.

, the fine leaves on the shrubs rustled.

Fang Plover was sitting on the edge of the cliff, looking at the distant sky, the cotton-like floating cloud island, and the scenery between the sea and the sky. On earth, the sea and the sky are just an adjective, but here, you really can't tell the difference between the sea and the sky.

's boundary line.

This is a transparent sea. Except for clusters of clouds and mountains suspended above the 'sea surface', between the cloud islands you can only see schools of fish swimming around in the air, or in the distance there are three little white fish with triangular sails.

Point, sailing above the sky, with three long tail marks trailing behind the stern - cyan.

Looking down, you can see that the cliffs go vertically downwards for thousands of meters, so that the rock formations are layered with different colors. The part near the surface is dotted with green shrubs, and further down, the color of the rocks becomes darker.

All bare.

Below the clouds in the distance is a real sea, as blue as green, sparkling in the sun - but it is too calm, like a dark blue crystal. It is not actually the water surface, but the stratosphere, where there is no wind.

Element, the aerostat will lose lift as soon as it enters it.

But it looks very close. The Kukai layer is actually ten kilometers high. From the middle layer where the sky and land are located to the calm layer, it is also nearly four thousand meters. The thickness of the stratosphere is half of the Kukai layer. After passing through the stratospheric calm zone,

It is the entrance to the deep sea.

So far, people have not actually entered the deepest part of the Abyssal Sea that they have visited. They are just some relics left on the surface of the Abyssal Sea during the Xinsas era, including the one that Sylvide visited.

The same is true for the ruins where the obelisk is located.

Tata's voice came from his thoughts: "Mr. Knight."

Fang Yu finally came back to his senses and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"

"There's something going on in the community."

When Fang Yu was slightly startled, Miss Goblin had already projected a page of light screen in front of him. Now she was quite skilled in handling these matters. Fang Yu looked at the light screen. First, there was a line of bold text titles, marked out

It was an emergency - the content was below. He looked down and couldn't help but be stunned again:

"Did something happen again in the south?"

The content of the article is that the New Southern Territory Alliance integrated by bbk once again encountered trouble - when they settled in Baicheng, one of their official teams suffered spontaneous resistance from the local selectees. In fact, it was the same as the last time in the capital.

What happened in London was exactly the same.

But this time the problem was much more serious. It was reported that after the attackers killed bbk's people, they announced that Baicheng was not within the jurisdiction of the Southern Alliance.

Fang Yu has always been paying attention to things in the Southern Territory. As early as a few months ago, after the Du Lun Resolution occurred, most of the large and small guilds in the Southern Territory that originally belonged to the Southern Territory Alliance followed Ye Hua's orders and disbanded like their guilds in the forest.

.

Some of these people, like Lin Lin and others, have become real free adventurers and are looking for a new future. Others are still staying in the south. Although they have lost their status as alliance members on the surface, privately most of them still remain

old connections and a potential alliance formed.

These people are actually the vast majority.

Fang Plover has also heard about this secret alliance. In fact, the Elfendor Council has played a role in fueling it. Although the Southern Alliance has been disbanded, the Elfendor Council is still there. The council is an organization dominated by indigenous people.

, the Super Competitive Alliance has no right to dictate to the alchemists.

The Council used secret means to bring more members of the old Southern Alliance into this alliance. It was equivalent to reintegrating the originally divided alliance. This method is somewhat similar to the method of the Oak Knights of Tapolis.

Although one is intentional and the other is unintentional.

Due to the Van Rijk incident, the Super Competitive Alliance was too busy to take care of itself, and bbk's integration of the New Southern Alliance was stalled for a while, and it was only recently resumed. However, the precious few months lost allowed this secret alliance to develop and grow.

Fang Yu knew these things, naturally through his teacher Ander. Ander-Uriel re-entered the Elfendor Council after the Vanric incident and replaced Pudra's original position. And in Xilin-

After Count Spica's incident, the other party's status in the parliament was further elevated. As one of the decision-makers of many matters in the parliament, he was naturally qualified to know these secrets and tell his students.

bbk can be said to be the culprit for the dissolution of the old Southern Alliance. The interests of the two sides are completely opposite, so of course they don't have any good impressions of each other. In fact, during their journey south, they were hindered by the "Dark Alliance" more than once.

It can be said that the opposition between the two sides has existed for a long time.

And bbk is clearly a collaborator of the prime minister's party, and the Elfendor Council is also unwilling to allow its influence to penetrate further into the south, so it secretly adopts a resigned attitude towards the conflict between the two parties.

But the conflict in Baicheng was still somewhat beyond Fang Plover's imagination.

Because although the Elfendor Council is happy to see the conflict between the two, it will never let the conflict escalate further. So last time in Dulon, although the old Duke of Phoenix was not on the side of the prime minister, he still took action in the end.

The unrest was quelled.

Therefore, the reason why the Southern Territory has been peaceful for the past half year can be said to be the old Duke's greatest contribution, playing the role of a sea-calming needle. After all, the stability of the region is closely related to the aborigines who have lived here for generations.

The confrontation between the nobles and the royal family also adopts an attitude of cooperation and confrontation. The Kaolin-Ithulian is not a division between the north and the south, but just a political game.

But what happened in Baicheng was obviously a bit out of line.

But what's puzzling is that White City is not much smaller than Van Rijk. The local nobles, guards and garrisons are not dead. There is also a magician organization "White City Secret Guard" there. How can they watch it helplessly?

The chosen ones sealed the city and became independent.

This declaration is clearly a 'Declaration of Independence' - it simply means that from now on, Baicheng will split its soil and be autonomous, and will no longer be under the rule of the Kingdom of Kaulin-Ithurion. The Chosen One did such an earth-shattering thing

Forget it, do the local nobles think so too?

He was full of doubts and couldn't help but ask: "Miss Tata, what on earth is going on?"

Tata shook his head slightly: "That's all the news at the moment, Mr. Knight."

She added: "A few hours ago, White City blocked several roads leading to Vanrich and Edel Fortress. Since then, no news has leaked out, at least for now."

This action was clearly confirming what Fang Plover was thinking.

Unable to sit still any longer, he dusted himself off and stood up from the edge of the cliff. Finally, he looked back at the blue sky in the distance, and then walked back to the shipyard. After asking the workers, he found a man standing on the edge of a cliff.

In front of the blueprint, the noble daughter supervises the progress of the workers.

The blueprint was the last one he selected among the many drawings he drew. It was being nailed to a wooden board at the moment. Sylvide looked at the lines on it with focused eyes, and sometimes looked at the work of the workers.

.

When she heard the footsteps behind her, she turned around. When she saw Fang Plover, she couldn't help but smile and cast a gentle look at her captain.

But Fang Yu got straight to the point and said: "Sylwede, something happened in Baicheng."

"Um?"

Fang Yu then described the previous events to the ship officer.

It was obviously the first time for Sylvide to hear of such a thing. She immediately thought of the same place as Fang Plion, thought for a while and said: "Captain, you should ask your teacher's opinion immediately on this matter. There are two reasons.

There are two possibilities. One is that the electors of the old alliance made this decision themselves, which means that they intend to part ways with the Parliament."

"Another possibility," she paused, "is that this action was planned by the parliament, which means that the parliament's judgment on the situation in the southern border has changed."

Although he was far away in Istania, Fang Plover could still tell from the analysis of his ship officer that the situation in the southern border had taken a turn for the worse.

He thought for a moment and then asked: "Which situation is better?"

Sylvide shook her head gently for the first time: "I personally think that the first situation may be slightly better, but it is also limited. Unless some people go alone, but judging from Baicheng's reaction, this possibility is very small

.”

She raised her head, a trace of worry flashed through her light blue eyes: "If the public break really becomes an established fact, we may really see a war next."

"What are the odds?"

"It's not clear yet, but Captain, you may have to make some preparations."

Fang Plover couldn't help but open his mouth, but no sound came out.

They are still in Tansnir, and this war may have nothing to do with them in the short term, but if the third division falls into turmoil, they will be affected by it anyway.

From the perspective of outsiders, this may just be a matter of watching the excitement, but when he puts himself in the situation, he feels completely different - the most intuitive thing is that he knows who is looking forward to such a turmoil.

?

Dragon worshipers.

Their plans in the south may be related to this.

Fang Yu couldn't help but feel a deep worry in his heart. Their group had just made some progress against the Dragon Worshipers, but if Kaolin-Ithurian fell into turmoil, not only all previous efforts would be in vain.

And maybe, the Dragon Worshipers will take this opportunity to make a comeback and recreate the disaster of the Dragon Witch incident in the past.

Those people will never target without aim——

He knows this very well.

But at the same time, Fang Yu felt a deep sense of powerlessness. For the first time, he felt that his personal power was too weak in the face of the general trend. The confrontation between the north and the south of Kaolin-Ishulian has been going on for more than a year. In this process, not only

Not only the aboriginal people but also the electors had great conflicts.

It can even be said that the chosen people of the South have been waiting for such an opportunity to resist the "invasion" of the descendants of Flor for a long time. This is by no means something he can easily change with a few words.

Not to mention that there are more complex interests involved behind this, the entanglements between the electors and the electors, the electors and the aboriginal people, and the aboriginal people and the aboriginal people are so complicated that even the Stargate Port cannot calm down the king.
