Chapter 2213 - 72: Star and Flame_2

Fang Hong thought of this and couldn't help but brighten his eyes, feeling that this was simply a perfect plan.

"Miss Tata," he couldn't help but say with some excitement, "you are truly amazing!"

Most Dragon Souls have the ability to assist Dragon Knights, and some also have their own intellect, but someone like Miss Tata, who is a walking database, seems to be unique based on the information Fang Hong gathered from the community. Although he wasn't quite sure why, including asking Miss Tata about it, who also had no memory in this regard, Fang Hong vaguely felt that it might have some connection with the Fairy Dragon Soul plan from the Silver Tower.

Now, Miss Fairy is increasingly recalling things about the past, and perhaps one day she will understand where she really came from.

"But there are still some problems that cannot be solved temporarily," Tata appeared much calmer than him, "this is just an idea, but to turn it from an idea into reality may not be that simple. It's not as simple as scaling up the Shining Shield, the key components, materials, and concepts need to be tested bit by bit by Mr. Knight himself."

But this is the work of an Alchemist, Fang Hong was not worried about this aspect, he shook his head, "I have experience in this respect, luckily, both Luo Yu and I are quite familiar with the Shining Shield, I think I probably already have a concept."

Miss Fairy just lightly nodded.

And while the two were talking, suddenly Luo Hao's voice came in from outside, "Ade, Miss Tata, you'd better come out, Tianlan has seen the land...we seem to have reached our destination."

The two of them looked towards that direction.

Outside the porthole, the twelve spires of Crosswind Harbor were slowly appearing behind the clouds.

...

Liuli Yue heard someone calling her, turned her head, and saw her old partner coming up from the bottom of the hill. The other party was wearing a brand new Alchemist's Coat, embroidered with tassels at the collar and cuffs, draped over the shoulders, with a calfskin belt, and a Sting Sword hanging at the waist, encased in a beautiful leather sheath, the Mithril patterns spreading and growing on the red leather, more like a piece of art—yet it was also a Magic Guided Conductor, crafted by a master from the Emerald Bird Workshop.

The Magic Guided Reactor was also brand new, Colin Ishurian's military model—improved version. A gentle wind blew over the distant forest, lifting a piece of gray ash and flipping the collar of the coat—to which five shining Golden Stars were embroidered atop a silver-threaded Emerald Bird.

But the so-called partner term had long been outdated. The other party had now switched to a new partner, and the level gap between them was gradually widening, with the other's level nearly twenty-six, while she was only twenty-two, almost lagging an entire tier.

Both were Combat Artisans, but Wu Di was a year younger than her, and the Guild deemed that the latter had more potential for cultivation, hence the allocation of resources was vastly different. Rumor had it that the new partner assigned to him was also a craftsman genius, reminiscent of how people used to refer to them.

"What's up?" Liuli Yue appeared untroubled, her experiences and Wu Di's were vastly different, he was directly selected from the Youth Training Camp, whereas she joined the Guild as a Free Summoner due to her admiration for Silver Forest Crown and KUN. Luckily, with the former Captain's discerning eye, she stood out from the peripheral members, and was selected through the core to the elite, eventually joining the Silver Forest Spear expedition as a reserve.

But of course, this journey wasn't just luck; there was also considerable effort and investment involved. Outsiders thought her unruly, but without a bit of competitiveness, it's impossible to reach this point. However, she disdains common sayings, and she didn't really care much about not having progressed since the former Captain's retirement.

Just bad luck, she wasted too much time from being a peripheral member to the core, naturally unable to rival the geniuses selected from the Youth Training Camp. For instance, her old partner, who was always composed, foundation solid, learned everything quickly—while her wild ways had long settled, she herself agreed with the Guild's assessment of her lacking future potential.

But gains and losses are inevitable, her only regret was realizing this a bit too late. If she had understood her path earlier, joined the Silver Forest Spear's Youth Training Camp, perhaps she might now have a chance to go to the Second World. She didn't care what the Second World had, but she enjoyed feeling stronger than others.

"Nothing," Wu Di smiled, "I just saw you sitting here alone, so I called out. After all, we were partners, haven't seen you for a long time, isn't it okay to call out a friend?"

"Psycho."

"You really haven't changed a bit, even my suggestion—can't you improve your personal quality level a bit?"

"No time for that," Liuli Yue picked up a piece of pitch-black crystallized stone and tossed it down towards the cliff, landing quietly in the scorched forest below. She dusted off her hands, replying, "Why should I learn those hypocritical things, still pretend to smile on the surface, inside MMP, is it boring or not?"

She turned back, "You call that quality, well, I just like being direct, NMSL."

Wu Di looked at this old partner, momentarily speechless, although her words clearly were irrational, they somehow sounded reasonable.
