"Government rebels," Newcastle sneered, "I like the name, the world is so rotten that it needs a little purification." ”

"Is your so-called purification a blatant theft?" Douglas said in a deep voice, "Don't you know that the 'Assassin Zero Alliance' has always wanted to overthrow the royal rule of various countries, who tricked you into joining?!"

"Is the so-called royal family necessarily nobler than ordinary people?, why let these rotten fellows run the people?" Newcastle stood up with the exhaustion of his body, his eyes firm and bright in the dim light, "No one lied to me, I volunteered, old man, you are a little too much." ”

"Boy, don't forget that your father is a former sergeant major of the Green Valley Line, Panson, and you are undoubtedly on the opposite side of your father in doing so. ”

"It's because my father is Panson that I hate the Josephs Empire!" Newcastle was excited, gasping and glancing back at Douglas, then turned his head, "The people he saved called him 'Sergeant Major' and called him a martyr, but who among them knew that he was murdered!"

With a loud "boom", the entire circular platform trembled violently, and the broken Poseidon stone statue was completely shattered, and even the other two stone statues were affected.

Douglas's face was gloomy, and he was still sitting on the ground, but the corner of the circular platform behind him had been completely destroyed by his explosive momentum.

"Boy, tell the old man again how your father died. ”

"Murder. Newcastle's long, messy hair had red circles under her eyes, and her eyes were like torches.

Recalling that tragic night full of fire and rain, he always can't hide his sadness.

After directing the people to evacuate, the man alone endured the sharp pain that almost made people faint step by step towards the green valley forest that was rushing with lava rivers, sparks flew with the corners of his flying clothes, heat waves distorted space, and in the dust and flames in the sky, although the man succeeded in stopping the flow of lava to the town of Nack, he slept on the land forever.

All that was left for little Newcastle was the phrase "Get out of here, never come back!" and the vicissitudes of life that went against the sea of fire, but he always remembered the painful expression on his steely father's face, someone must have secretly murdered his father.

"Boy, did your father say anything to you when he passed on his abilities to you?"

"He told me never to come back," Newcastle clenched his fists, "I know he was there to protect me from investigating the cause of his death, because he felt that force was not something I could fight." ”

"Do you suppose it's the Imperial Clan's bedbugs?" Douglas's face was bruised.

"No evidence, just suspicion," Newcastle whispered, "I might tell you that this is one of the purposes of my trip, but unfortunately there is nothing of value to be found." ”

"The old man has this in mind, I will investigate, don't worry," Douglas stood up and walked over to Newcastle's side, "Can you tell me another purpose for infiltrating the archives now?"

"Looks like you haven't opened that file, old man. ”

"Do you mean the share you tried to steal?"

"As I said, you can't get any useful information from me," the corner of his eye swept over Douglas, and Newcastle's tone softened slightly, "If you really don't know the truth, go back and see for yourself, don't ask me, my mission has failed, goodbye." ”

With that, Newcastle dragged his extremely tired body towards the restaurant at sea, and after two steps he stopped again and looked sideways at Douglas.

"Thank you, old man. ”

The breeze blew, and Newcastle's long hair floated twice before disappearing into the dark shadows, and only his swaying back could be seen in the dim dining room.

"Dad, I saw your best old friend in school today, you should be very happy in heaven... Mom, isn't she snuggling up to you and smiling happily..."

When the first rays of the sun in the east pierce the darkness and the stormy night falls silent, the blue sea remains as calm as ever, the seabirds fly low, and the fish chase the waves as if nothing had happened.

Except for some centuries-old trees that survived, the low green grass and shrubs were almost burned by the wildfires, and the charred kraken corpses and charcoal grass ashes melted together to cover this small island, although it was a little disgusting, but it gave hope for the revival of the island of the sky.

Since last night, when the momentum of the stars erupted in the courtyard behind the restaurant on the sea, the terrifying roar has not appeared, as if it has disappeared, and the rhythmic heartbeat like a drum has not sounded again, and the large number of krakens gathered in the shallow sea seem to sense something, and they slowly disperse before dawn comes.

The sea area near the island of Sora was once again lively, and after the fierce winds that had blown all night last night, the "dark cloud road" had unusually calmed down, and a crack several hundred meters wide appeared in the center, and ships passing by in an endless stream saw this.

Douglas stood in the dining area on the top floor of the restaurant on the sea, eating and watching the chefs who were urgently repairing the docks.

Thinking of this, Douglas sighed softly.

"Old bastard, have you finished eating, come down and help when you are done!" Old Brooke's voice came from the top of the stairs, and then an old man in a chef's uniform ran up angrily.

"How's that kid yesterday?" Douglas couldn't make out his words as his mouth was stuffed with plump salmon.

"That kid was about to board the boat from the docks, and it looked like he was going to leave. ”

"What did you say?"

Swallowing the food in his mouth violently, Douglas looked in the direction of the dock, and sure enough, from the position of the sea route, a black and white giant ship slowly approached, and before the giant ship arrived at the empty island, he saw a white figure the size of a grain of rice already soaring up, speeding towards the deck of the giant ship.

"Oh, by the way, that kid came to me this morning, and asked me to give this thing to you, in addition to paying for these days. ”

As he spoke, Old Brooke wiped his hands and took out a small, dark green box from the pocket of his apron.

The moment he saw the box, Douglas had already guessed what was in the box, the shield of the Imperial Military Academy was inlaid on the surface, and he also had one of the same things, and there were only two in this world.

Stopping Old Brooke from opening the box, Douglas examined it carefully for a moment and slipped it into his jacket pocket.

"It seems that it's time for the old man to go back and have a look. ”

Through the cracks of the "dark cloud road", Douglas looked in the direction of Xinlan City with a lot of thoughts.

A succession of colorful fireworks rose into the sky with a joyful ending, and exploded into countless pieces of colored paper and fell among the bustling crowds in the street.

Tomorrow is the biggest festival of the Joses Empire, the "Wanbang Lantern Festival", the sky is not completely bright, the whole Xinlan City is boiling, the busy Truf harbor is naturally needless to say, even the old town that has always been silent seems to have a new opportunity.

Stone statues of winged lions on both sides of the gate watched majestically over these outsiders, hundreds of crusader soldiers maintained the order of the crowd, and a large number of imperial merchant convoys and foreigners who participated in the "Wanbang Lantern Festival" performance and richly dressed foreign nobles had gathered at the city gate, they were lined up to be inspected by the city gate guards, waiting to merge into the joyful crowd of Xinlan City.

In the dense flow of people outside the city, you can see not only monks in fancy clothes, magicians, street performers, wandering musicians, but also many strange creatures that have never been seen before, such as fire-breathing lizards, snow-white unicorns, tusked mammoths that are almost as tall as houses, and orangutans dressed like humans.

Among the crowds preparing to enter the city outside the city gate, there is a convoy of four large carriages waiting to be inspected by the ironclad patrol, the shape of the carriage is extremely eye-catching, the rectangular carriage is painted with colorful paint, depicting cute images of small animals, parrots talking to people, tigers passing through the fire ring, black bears riding bicycles, The dolphin with the ball on his head, the clown painted on the back of each carriage, and the funny clown holding a knife in one hand and a playing card in the other, smile brightly, but there is always an indescribable strange feeling, forcing you to look away from him just by looking at him twice.

The first two carriages were driven by a woman in red with red wine and an old man with a petal-shaped cane, while the last two were driven by a middle-aged man in a cowboy hat with a gold coin and a white-haired boy holding a white sheathed sword.

The forms of several people are also different, the women in red dresses have ruddy cheeks and slightly drunken faces, the elderly man has long eyebrows and ears and a kind smile, the middle-aged man is free and easy, his face is shrewd, and the white-haired young man closes his eyes and concentrates lightly.

The carriage drove slowly along the bluestone brick road, and the cheerful chirping of the animals could be heard as the carriage bumped and undulated

"Stop!" the ironclad patrol guarding the city gate stopped a group of four carriages.

"What are you doing?!" the iron-clad soldier asked menacingly, "Do you have permission to enter the city?"

There was an awkward silence as none of the four answered the soldier's questioning, not even the carriage.

"Are you all deaf?!" the soldier was so angry that he directly grabbed the long sword at his waist, "Get out of the car for inspection!"

The woman holding the wine glass burped, she brushed away the broken hair hanging from her ears and staggered over, the looming snow-white legs, the graceful plump waist, the appearance of the woman made the air around her hot, and even the sound of swallowing saliva could be faintly heard.

"Can you three brothers talk to others well, don't be so fierce," she said, the woman's hands gently coiled around the soldier's neck, and the pungent aroma made the soldier a little confused, "Don't dangle the ground, people are about to be pushed down by you." ”

"You... You... What are you doing here..."Seeing this sexy stunner so close to him, the soldier stuttered a little when he even spoke.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed the soldier's arm wrapped around the soldier's body from behind the woman, and pulled her out of the soldier's arms, just for a moment, I saw the metallic luster in the woman's hand flashing, it was the middle-aged man wearing a cowboy hat.

"I'm sorry, my lord, I'm really sorry, our boss drank a little too much today because he was too happy, please forgive her for her gaffe just now. ”

The middle-aged man held the soldier's hand with a sincere face, but in fact, he had secretly stuffed five golden things into the soldier's hand, and his action was not noticed by anyone except the two.

"Ahem. The soldier coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, but his gaze lingered reluctantly on the woman until the middle-aged man stood in front of her.

"It's okay, my lord has a lot of them, don't worry about you merchants," the soldier pinned the long sword back to his waist and put the gold coins back into his pocket, his movements in one go without any delay, "Tell me about the purpose of your visit to Xinlan City." ”

"We were invited by the Duke of Arondaite to attend the 'Wanbang Lantern Festival', this is our boss Ace of Hearts, my name is Q of Diamonds," said the middle-aged man, smiling as he handed a letter with gold trim to the soldiers, "This is our permission to enter the city." ”

After receiving the letter, the soldier's expression changed from contempt to surprise, and then to pale.

"You... You're the famous Joker Magic Troupe?!"

After reading the contents of the letter, the soldier's voice was visibly shaky, because in the lower right corner of the letter was clearly signed a person's name - Duke Arondait.
