Pillar of Yita

Two people came up to Fang Hong.

A young man wearing a chainmail shirt, with a longsword hanging at his waist, and leather gloves connected to a magic guided reactor behind him, had short clean hair.

He pretended to be proficient, but his nervous glances betrayed him completely. Although there was a trace of alertness in his dark eyes, one hand tightly clutched the hilt of his sword, clearly showing his nervousness.

Judging by his magic guided reactor, his level was not even fifteen, which couldn’t even match most members of the Seven Seas Travel Group; he was just a newcomer.

His other hand protected a young girl behind him, who was the second person mentioned earlier.

Compared to the young man, the girl appeared more composed. Her skin was not the pale of a pampered lady, but a healthy wheat color like a farm girl accustomed to labor. She wrapped her flaxen hair in a handkerchief, neat and tidy, with a smooth forehead beneath it, and a pair of brown eyes like sparkling crystals, hidden under thick eyebrows. The first impression she gave was calm, but with a touch of melancholy, and she watched them with suspicion.

Fang Hong felt a slight sense of puzzlement upon seeing the girl; he felt a sense of familiarity, but upon closer thought, he remembered he had met her father once, perhaps she inherited some of his features in her face.

Especially that composed and determined demeanor.

The young man escorting the girl had also met him before. In the previous negotiation, he was one of the young men following Silian.

”Captain Ade.” The young man stepped forward upon seeing Fang Hong, but for the moment didn’t know what to say, considering they were not well-acquainted; this was only their second meeting.

Of course, he wasn’t entirely ignorant of those in front of him. Ever since the wanted order incident, he had looked up the backstory in the community and even discovered that he had watched footage of the battle in Dolifen.

He vividly remembered that combat, where the protagonist was undoubtedly amongst the elites of geniuses, perhaps not the finest today, but destined for greatness someday.

He could not see such people in his daily life, so he felt a mix of curiosity and admiration towards Fang Hong.

In fact, to the Invoker, being wanted by the Royal Household was already a sort of legend, not to mention making it onto the alliance’s grey list. Looking back at super competitive history, how many have made it to the grey list?

The guild coveted the alliance’s points reward, but that had little to do with ordinary Invokers. The alliance maintained the interests of Grand Guilds and their club alliances. Many people were dissatisfied with the alliance, but they dared not speak out.

As long as they didn’t violate the ”Stargate Declaration,” committing crimes, what’s the big deal about being on a grey list? Many see those on the grey list as heroes.

Even Loofah is on the grey list, isn’t it?

Just not rewarded with points.

Fang Hong didn’t know why the person in front of him was hesitating, then Miss Ship’s Officer behind him smiled and spoke: ”’Underground Walnut,’ right?”

The young man was stunned, looking at the Lady Noble before barely reacting, ”You, you are Miss Hilveld?” He probably had never seen such a beautiful person, opened his mouth wide, and hurriedly averted his gaze in embarrassment.

Fang Hong paused, not understanding how his Miss Ship’s Officer knew the other party. However, the ID ’Underground Walnut’ was quite interesting; what next, an ’Underground Peanut’?

”Did you bring the stuff?” Hilveld nodded slightly, asking with a smile.

Underground Walnut quickly nodded, unstrapped the backpack from his back, carefully placed it on the ground, and then opened it.

A dazzling light shone into Fang Hong’s eyes, and the backpack was filled to the brim with crystal-clear crystals, pale yellow, yet seemed to be constantly radiating colorful light from inside.

Fang Hong immediately recognized it as Earth Origin Crystal; different primordial crystal stones have different colors, yellow representing earth, and the purer the color, the higher the crystal’s quality.

The quality of these Earth Origin Crystals was quite high; normally, the crystal stones from crystal stone mines rarely reached such quality. It’s unknown where the Art of the Conflict obtained such a batch of Earth Origin Crystals.

Although he knew the other party would bring Earth Origin Crystals, Fang Hong couldn’t help but feel excited upon seeing them.

They expended a lot of effort for these things, but it was all worth it; once they got the Earth Origin Crystals, he could use the Starlight Alchemy Array to realize some of his ideas.

For the current Seven Seas Travel Group, anything that could enhance their strength was important.

”This is part of it,” Underground Walnut said, ”the rest is with my companions, they’re on their way to Lake Tear of Obey as instructed.”

He wiped his sweat, ”Now I can prove we weren’t lying, Miss Hilveld. Can the covenant take effect now?”

Hilveld smiled sweetly: ”No rush, we aren’t pressing you to fulfill the agreement, are we?”

”Covenant?” Fang Hong was confused, finally couldn’t help interjecting: ”Hilveld, what are you talking about, what Lake Tear of Obey? What deal?”
