When Fenris exposed Toragotos' conspiracy, they dragged the War Lizard People into it, and in the end, the War Lizard People had to repay kindness with hatred and help them immensely?
Fang Hong felt incredibly absurd for a moment, and the fox tail behind Miss Ship's Officer was clearly manifesting again and subtly swayed.
...
The underground Walnut watched as Fang Hong and Hilveld moved to the side to whisper to each other, feeling rather nervous and uneasy.
For a moment, these few people acted impulsively, carrying the Invoker's fervor and rescued someone. But after leaving Orlenze, they found that apart from the initially clever plan, it seemed they hadn't left a second path to follow.
And the plan that seemed clever at first now doesn't appear to be very reliable.
Using the Primordial Crystal Stone as a bargaining chip, getting Fang Hong's group to transport them to safety, there was a contract in place, but the key concern—would the other party really agree?
Initially, they believed they would agree—
But now the underground Walnut couldn't help but hesitate; why didn't they consider the possibility that the other party might disagree?
What remedy do they have?
It seems none.
This is one of the common mistakes rookies often make, thinking plans are too presumptuous. He couldn't help but wipe his sweat with his hand.
A handkerchief was handed over from the side, and the underground Walnut turned back to find Miss Beiji had somehow taken down the ribbon from her head, her flax-colored hair cascading behind her.
"Thank you, Mr. Walnut."
"Uh, you're welcome..." the underground Walnut suddenly regretted casually picking this ID when entering this world.
Miss Beiji softly said, "Actually, there's no need for you to humble yourself before them."
The underground Walnut looked at her slightly stunned.
"If it weren't for them, my father wouldn't have been wronged."
"Uh, no," the underground Walnut almost choked, "it's not fair to say that, Miss Beiji, about Mr. Sillian's matter..."
"I understand, they're not the main cause. But if they are willing to help us, it's for the sake of those Primordial Crystal Stones, right?"
After a pause, the underground Walnut couldn't help but nod.
"So we provide what we need to offer, and there's no need to give anything extra."
"But they might not agree."
"Then I'll leave with you to Lake Tear of Obey, where the Lizardman tribe controls the area and won't let people from the Orlenze Praetor inside."
"Perhaps..."
The underground Walnut shook his head; if planning for the worst scenario, this is indeed a seemingly hopeless approach.
But once they reach Lake Tear of Obey, without an airborne ship, they can't pass through the Obey Wetlands.
However, the girl's calm demeanor more or less reassured him.
Though he knew early on that Mr. Sillian's daughter displayed unusual fortitude, it's nonetheless surprising she remained composed and thoughtful despite her father being imprisoned.
After Fang Hong and Hilveld had their discussion, they returned.
Regarding the Lady Noble's control of his community account, he had to accept it reluctantly. "Anyway, there's nothing shady in the communication records, even if it's about Miss Miya, Hilveld is aware."
Moreover, there's nothing improper between them.
"Mr. Walnut," Hilveld replied with a smile, "Lord Captain agreed to escort you to Kailan Ao, which is at the outskirts of the Kingdom and should be a safe place for you."
"During this time, you can accompany us, and we will arrange rooms for you on the ship, but for your safety, your personal communication devices must be temporarily handed over for us to keep."
She paused before continuing: "Welcome aboard Seven Seas Traveler."
The underground Walnut was momentarily stunned before realizing he hadn't misheard.
He couldn't help but be overjoyed; had Fang Hong not agreed, they'd have to head to Lake Tear of Obey, which isn't safe for someone at their level.
As for handing over the Communication Crystal, he understood it was reasonable and nodded at once:
"No problem."
...
At the first moment he got the Earth Origin Crystal, Fang Hong immediately entered a state of retreat, ignoring external affairs.
Due to the urgency for the Seven Seas Travel Group, every second held significance.
After all, enhancing strength is the immediate priority. Since Mist Gorge, he had planned ahead, just waiting too long for this batch of Earth Origin Crystals.
And regarding how to use the Alchemy Array 'Starlight,' Fang Hong naturally had ideas. In fact, after starting the creation of the γAE Magic Guided Reactor, he had been pondering usage methods for himself concerning the Flexible Constructs.
Previously, he never lacked reliable Flexible Constructs at hand, but after the battle in Idus, Fang Hong gradually realized a problem: was he over-relying on a particular type of core Flexible Construct?
Especially after acquiring the Energy Angel from Silver Weslan, he rarely used other types, only occasionally employing Orphen's Twin Stars for heavy combat.
He still has some similar constructs like Ts-1 Stalker, Screeching Banshee, Mirrorer, and the Engineering Machine, later adding two constructs types Sea Monster and Hornet, but these auxiliary constructs couldn't be considered as core constructs used in combat.
