Chapter 461: Qingping
During this time, the expedition seemed to take up everyone's energy, and there was only one topic for people to talk about in the streets.
As the initiator of the expedition, Northland City has begun to stay out of the way. The people stationed at Northland Harbor focused their efforts on maintaining order and building infrastructure.
Driven by interests, many things no longer need to be coordinated by the Northterland City. Because the expelled Adam had too high a starting point, he left too many gaps in power around him. This makes people realize that maybe they can climb higher in the race for power.
Northland City pulled out, and it was right for these people. This shows that those high positions are still ownerless, and they still have hope of getting involved. The more cold Northland becomes, the higher this expectation will be.
The more Northland City regards the founding of the country as a trivial matter, the more they have to regard it as a big cause. As Northland gradually fades out, this business will eventually become their own business.
Since Northland City wants to shake off its hands, then it must cooperate well. During this period, there must be no chaos, so as not to attract the intervention of the Northland City.
Under this consensus, all parties have entered a real honeymoon period. Although there will still be open and secret fights for the sake of interests, the means are much gentler.
......
Today, Bran received a letter from Adam. thanked him for his help and care during this time, and showed off in a very proud tone, saying that he had found an old robe. Because the ocean-going ship is about to depart, it is impossible to send it back immediately, and I hope that Bran will understand and considerate.
Robe?
After Bran swept through the treasure house, he seemed to have found something very funny, and couldn't help but laugh.
While Bran laughed, Adam wanted to cry.
No sooner had the fleet left Southport than he and Shandy eagerly opened the box, and the robe floated out of the box with Bran's flesh in it.
The one-piece hood is not fluffy on the back, but it is supported as if it were on a person's head. Beneath the hood is still the darkness of nothingness, making it impossible to see the truth inside. The placket is tightly seamed, and the hem seems to be touching the deck. If it weren't for the fact that they already knew that it was just a robe, the two would most likely mistake it for Bran.
It stood quietly in front of the two of them, letting their gaze sweep over it. But when the two couldn't help but raise their hands to touch it, it instantly dodged.
At this time, the two were still immersed in curiosity and euphoria, but the euphoria did not last long, and suddenly disappeared after the night came. In her sleep, Shanty felt as if a shadow was hovering over her head, and she tried to open her misty eyes, and immediately saw a figure standing still at the head of the bed.
With a high-pitched exclamation, the whole ship instantly boiled, and then the entire fleet......
When Adam and Shanty opened the hatch in disheveled clothes, the robe was instantly hidden. After a nightmare, Shandy blushed and explained to the people around her.
But nightmares seem to be contagious. After that day, there were occasional screams from Adam's ship. Some sailors swore that they had seen it, and the ship did not seem to be very clean. Then he was slapped hard by the person next to him before he reacted.
Quickly changed his words and explained, I didn't mean that the ship was not very clean, I wanted to say that there seemed to be something on the ship. Needless to explain, people also think of the dead.
However, those who have seen it think that the shadow is more like the rumored great wizard - Bran. Although the sailors had never seen him, and it was unlikely that such a thing would have been investigated, the rumors had gradually taken over.
And Adam and Shanti, who are in the whirlpool of rumors, are also very tormented.
Every night, when Adam and Shandy were about to fall asleep in their arms, the hood of the robe would stand quietly at the head of the bed, as if watching them. This made the newlywed Yan'er two only anxious, but they didn't dare to do anything.
They had tried many ways to lock up the robe, but at the slightest crack it would turn into a cloud of gray smoke and seep out. This situation made Adam pat his head and scold "Stupid!"
He finally recognized it, it was Bran's last robe, and the most powerful.
With a strange expression, he told Shanty about his discovery, and sighed, "Give it up! It's at least the first few pieces of equipment in Bran's hands, and we're still taking advantage of it." ”
As if he understood the compliment, his robe flicked a few times with a slight joy.
Now that Adam finally believed Bran's words, he couldn't handle it. Recognizing the reality, Adam no longer tries to control the strange robe.
But Shanti didn't believe in evil, it was just a robe after all. So taking advantage of Adam's absence, she pounced on herself. Had it not been for Adam's sudden return, I believe the robe would have strangled her. At that time, it turned directly into chains and wrapped up.
Shanti was strangled half to death, and finally believed Adam's words.
For this wayward thing that can't be beaten or driven away, the two resigned themselves to their fate.
After a few days, the elusive robe seemed to be familiar with the environment, and his actions became more and more daring. It followed closely behind Adam and Shandy like a shadow.
Suddenly, there was a large living person on the ship, which inevitably caused a commotion. But the truth of the haunted event was finally revealed, and people's hearts were instantly settled.
Under the gaze of the people, he exhibited many magical characteristics. For example, tireless, no need to eat or drink, and even be able to differentiate into identical clones.
More and more people are seeing that when Adam and Shandy act separately, he pops up a doppelganger to protect both of them. And when the two converge, they become one again.
No one knew what he looked like, for the shadow was always hidden under the hood. No one knew his name, not even Adam and Shanti.
I don't know who was the first to call out the shadow guard, and then word of mouth gradually ignored the word guard, and sometimes added the honorific title of adult.
As we drifted away, shadows occasionally appeared at the stern of the ship in the middle of the night, looking lonely into the distance......
......
The Barren Continent seemed to be moving towards stability, and Northland City had not moved in the slightest during this time, and many people were relieved because of this. But where they don't know, there are many big things happening.
When Rasu was happily picked up by his people, Bran sent a message after the transaction. The dragon, as a potential ally of the Northlands, already knew about this. Then, with undisguised malice, I wish them a smooth journey......
On the other side, crossing the middle line of the world, a major event happened on the blazing wind coast of the Dust and Muddy Continent, and an extraordinary being suddenly disappeared.
At this time, the giant dragon suddenly released a message, pointing out that this was the black hand of the Banbu clan. In exchange for the captured Rasu, they treacherously attacked their unsuspecting allies.
And in anger, he said that he leaked his mouth, and the condition offered by the Northland was to exchange it for other transcendents who had attacked the Northland.
The dragon's big mouth has won the favor of some, but it has also annoyed others.
During this time, the world is destined to be at rest.
The Bahru Continent is being retaliated against by the Northlands, and the news of the heavy casualties can no longer be hidden. A little girl in the Northland who claims to avenge her sister will take the wind and rain to the edge of the Balu continent every once in a while.
This has given hope to those who have been spoiled by the dragon. Together, they stood in the way of Jena in the wind and rain......
As a result, the younger sister that Jenna was ready to avenge became four.
When she was bouncing up and about to go out again, Bran had to make a voice to remind Jenna to pay attention to her condition.
Jenna said quite confidently that she was okay! And you must not lose momentum at this time!
Momentum, maybe really important.
When she came out again with the wind and rain, the name of Frost began to spread among the transcendents.
Those who survived preferred to use another name - frost plague.
