Fang Yu also didn't expect that a big, shiny bald head would suddenly appear in front of him.

Moreover, this guy was looking at him with a look of surprise on his face, and he quickly lowered his head and shouted down. After that, seven or eight people were seen crawling out from under the cliff.

Fang Plover looked at these guys who suddenly appeared like groundhogs in surprise. They were wearing dusty traveler coats, with magic protective gear on them, and they were also carrying a large backpack with a roll of sleeping bags on top of it.

With a blanket, there are tools such as pickaxes, ropes, shovels, or magic weapons hanging underneath.

These people were wearing a pair of thick ordinary leather boots with a sheathed dagger pinned to the leather boots. This was a typical explorer attire.

Generally speaking, most adventurers who travel outside look like this, but only the chosen ones will speak in this tone, so Fang Plover can identify the identities of these people at once.

It’s just that now is the season when the monsoon winds are heading west. At this time, there are really not many selectors in Istania. A month ago, maybe there were many selectors who went south with the caravans on the streets, but now

He didn't even see a few people in places like the Craftsman's Guild and the Adventurer's Guild.

When this group of people appeared, everyone in the Seven Seas Brigade also secretly held their weapons and increased their vigilance.

Although the people in front of them don't seem to be hostile, they are following the mystics, and their purpose is naturally to investigate the blind followers, and who knows whether these people may be colluding with the shoe cultists like the Dragon Fire Guild.

together?

But I didn't expect that the bald man didn't seem to notice this scene at all.

The other party looked more like he knew them. He climbed up and walked over excitedly. He said in a very familiar tone: "Brother Ed, why are you here?"

The six eyes of the Seven Seas Brigade immediately fell on Fang Plover in unison.

Fang Plover: “???”

He had heard all kinds of names a lot, but this seemed to be the first time he was called 'big brother'?

But the bald man obviously didn't think so, and he still said excitedly: "Boss, don't you remember me? We have met once?"

What is this and what?

do we know each other?

Fang Yu couldn't help but blinked innocently.

He subconsciously thought that he had not revealed his true identity most of the time since Traveler's Rest, and the only two times he showed his true identity were around El Paxin and Van Rick. The former was unintentional, and the latter

It's intentional.

And because Dict personally revealed the fact that he went to Dorifen when he was in Vanric, people should also know that he ended Dorifen's illusion.

But other than that, the outside world probably doesn't know much about him or the Seven Seas Brigade.

So where did you see this big bald head?

Is it in Van Rijk or El Pashin?

It seemed a little strange to him. Logically speaking, if he really wanted to meet such a "characteristic" person, he should be very clear about it. But at the moment, he had no impression of him at all.

Fang Yu looked at this big bald head and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious for a moment.

Unexpectedly, the bald man patted his forehead, as if he suddenly understood: "Boss, have you forgotten? What is the name of that place in the Blood Thistle Grove... By the way, Elm Spear Castle, and that dead man?"

Spirit wizard, by the way, Rufu’s Shield, boss, do you remember it?”

A flash of light suddenly flashed in Fang Yu's mind.

"Holy shit," he looked at the bald head, and the two shadows in his heart suddenly overlapped, and he couldn't help but be shocked: "It's you, how did you become like this?"

After the other party mentioned this, he finally remembered that he had saved the adventure group named 'Rufu's Shield' from the 'messenger' of the Dragon Worship Cult in the underground of Elmao Castle. And the person in front of him was

The big bald man was the fat little warrior from Rufu's Shield whom he met underground at that time.

Of course, the other person didn't look like this at that time. He was a little fatter, but at least he still had thick black hair.

But now, I am still as fat, but I am tanned, and my short black hair has disappeared.

"ah!"

Behind him, Jita couldn't help but let out a low cry of surprise, obviously recognizing the other person.

The little fat man looked frightened when he was underground, but he was obviously much better now. He touched his bald head and smiled quite contentedly: "Hey, boss, although I have become bald, I am naturally bald.

Becoming stronger..."

But immediately someone came forward to expose him: "Come on, Mr. Ed, don't listen to his nonsense. He just made a bet and lost."

Fang Yu looked at the latter, who was one of the two swordsmen at that time, but as for the other swordsman, he didn't see it at the moment.

There was actually another priest girl behind him that he had met before. Of course, the other girl was not as nervous as before, and she nodded slightly to him and bowed.

The fat bald man heard what the swordsman said and was getting angry: "Fart, I lost on purpose, otherwise could we meet the boss?"

Fang Plover: "..."

Does that mean it can still be said?

…

In fact, it took him some time to figure out from the other party what happened to the other party after Elmau Castle and why they appeared in this place.

Things are actually not complicated

‘Rufu’s Shield’ was also a member of the old Southern Alliance. After the alliance was disbanded, independent adventure groups like them suffered much less impact than ordinary guilds, so after that the adventure group basically maintained its original structure.

But although the organizational structure was maintained, life was not easy either.

The new alliance organized by bbk was too aggressive and further reduced the living space of these independent adventure groups. As a result, many independent adventure groups that originally stayed in the south either had to join the new alliance or had to leave the south to seek survival elsewhere.

Opportunity.

‘Rufu’s Shield’ does not agree with the new alliance of the bbk organization, so it can only choose the latter path.

As for the little fat guy, they obviously came to Istania under this background.

Of course, there is not only one Estania in Corrin-Ithurion. There is the Rainbow Alliance and the Descendants of Flor in the north, and the Eastern Communists and Elites are on the Treasure Staff coast. But in Nognis, Asuka, Gray

There are still many empty spaces in Whale Islands and San Juan.

To be honest, Istania is located in a sea of ​​silver sand and has few products, so it is not suitable for an adventure group to stay there for a long time.

But according to the swordsman, the little fat man was 'assigned' to this place because he lost a bet.

"I can't say that completely. I wonder if you can be so superficial in looking at the problem..." The little fat man was still arguing: "It was a blessing in disguise. As for us coming to this place where nothing matters, I think we should argue separately.

Look at this issue properly..."

"You also said that this place is dead." The swordsman said angrily.

It is said that this little fat guy's ID is two out of ten, and his name is Uranus, the Lord of the Sky, the first god-king in Greek mythology. However, his strength and his name obviously do not match. When Fang Piao first met him, he was at level 12, and he is still at level 12 today.

This level is spinning.

However, it can also be seen that the level of Aitaria is not so easy to upgrade. The leveling speed of everyone in the Seven Seas Brigade is like a rocket purely because of a series of insanely difficult tasks.

Take their battle with the Silver-maned Giant Spider in Panir Chishan as an example. If placed in an ordinary adventure group, this is already an extremely difficult challenge. Unless it is a last resort, independent adventure groups generally will not take the initiative to do so.

Choose this kind of mission to seek death.

Because according to the general saying in the community, "extremely difficult challenge" means that there is at least a 70% chance of attrition, and a 30% chance of the group being wiped out.

For large guilds, they have a large number of peripheral members as cannon fodder, and can accept a certain degree of attrition. But this is not the case for independent adventure groups, because attrition means a loss of combat effectiveness, not to mention the destruction of the group.

Generally, if the group is destroyed more than twice, an adventure group is basically on the verge of disbanding.

But what about this level of challenge given the past experiences of the Seven Seas Brigade?

I'm afraid it can't even be described as "difficult". From Dolifen to Fenris, which one is not ten times more thrilling than this?

Then to Vanric, then to Idos, even monster-level existences like Dragon King Lifgard and Wanderer Maryland appeared.

This kind of experience is probably experienced countless times in ordinary adventure groups, but the Seven Seas Brigade has not experienced any attrition so far. Even Fang Plover doesn’t know if this is a miracle or if they are really

Is it just good luck?

However, after listening to the other party's description, Fang Yu couldn't help but think of the news about the southern part of Kaolin-Ithurian that he had received not long ago, and asked tentatively: "So the free adventure group and the guild only have these two items in the southern border right now.

Is there a way to go?"

"But I heard that there are still many Free Guilds left in the South?"

"snort."

The swordsman snorted softly after hearing this, and seemed a little disdainful. However, his disdain was not really about Fang Plover, but about this matter, so after snorting softly, he said: "The 'new' alliance is not at all

It’s not the original Southern Confederacy, those people simply have ulterior motives.”

Fang Yu was slightly startled when he heard this.

There are actually two 'new' alliances in the Cowling-Ithurian South, one was formed by bbk, and the other was reorganized after the old Southern Alliance was broken up, and the other party was obviously talking about the latter one.

Judging from the other party's tone, it seems that he is quite dissatisfied with this alliance.

He subconsciously asked: "What's wrong?"

"Don't mention it," the little fat man also shook his head, "those people are crazy people, they are completely unreasonable."

Fang Yu thought of something at this time and couldn't help but ask: "So is it about that incident not long ago?"

What he was talking about was the Baicheng riot, which has not been resolved yet.

The swordsman nodded.

"In order to confront the bbk, the new alliance actually plans to establish its own territory in Kaolin-Ithurion and support the Elfendor Council to become independent from the kingdom."

Fang Yu was almost stunned when he heard this.

He had heard about the riots in Baicheng
To be continued...
