Chapter 5: Fog Clearing
"It's boring......"
Ling sat on the stone platform, swinging her feet again and again.
She was wearing the same white Gothic Lolita dress as usual today, with black and dark purple lace heavily decorated on the fluffy dress, as cute as a little princess.
But this cute little princess is now showing a face full of "I'm bored", watching You stick the talisman paper on the pillar.
When she agreed to help You, You handed her a dozen pieces of yellow paper and a bag of turquoise gems. At first, Ling thought it was peridot or even emerald (note: both of these are precious emeralds), but after a closer look, she found that it was just an ordinary Qiyao stone, a condensation of the emerald veins that symbolize the wind attribute.
You patiently taught her how to grind the Cuiyao stone into powder, how to write the powder on the rune paper, and what kind of lines to draw.
At first, Ling still felt a little fresh, but after a long time, she felt very boring. Not only is it no fun, but it also requires a high level of detail, and it is a very boring drudgery not to make any mistakes.
Yue was also helping, and in the making, suddenly he asked.
"Senpai used to ...... in the Rainbow Theatre"
"Well, something like that. Phalanx. It's just that this time it's not that troublesome. 100 is enough. ”
Yue Yi felt uneasy at the thought of the phalanx array that had been laid against him by the Rainbow Theater Troupe before You.
It is a secret art that can tamper with even the most mysterious, reliable, and difficult thing to manipulate: time. Pausing the clock for a minute - at least that's what he thinks - this is already the realm of the gods.
Sure enough, seniors are seniors. Maybe his combat power is not as good as his own, but the secret art in his hand can perfectly make up for this shortcoming. He realized more and more that it was very unwise for him to make an appointment with Tatsumi in the underground passage at that time.
Back in time, Yu posted the rune paper that the two of them had drawn with the help of the two of them in all corners of Crossbell City, and with the Qiyao Vein as a guide, he could ignore the fog and post the rune paper.
And at this stage, Ling has nothing to do......
"It's boring, if that's what you're talking about......
Ling's smile suddenly turned cold, and the golden scythe appeared in her hand at some point, slashing towards You's neck.
"Ling. Be patient. The more time-consuming the preparation, the more luscious the joy will be when the surprise is obtained? ”
Lobbying seemed to be a very powerful sentence, and Ling was frightened all of a sudden. Actually, this is just a common line in girl's novels, and when I told Rui a bedtime story before, You often saw similar sentences.
Ling muttered as she propped her head with her hands and watched You finish pasting the things in her hand one by one.
"How's it going, are you coming? Fun thing? ”
Ling asked with joy.
"Ah, look at it......"
The corners of Yu's mouth hooked up with a confident smile.
"Let this obscure fog dissipate now!"
――――――――――――
The flow of the Seven Jewels was changed.
Standing on the top floor of Crossbell's current tallest building, the IBC Central Bank, looking out at the white town below, the phantom suddenly noticed that the flow of the Seven Jewels in the earth had been artificially tampered with.
The Emerald Vein, which symbolizes the nature of the wind, has been greatly changed. Some points are enhanced, some points are weakened. If the points of change in strength are connected into lines, then from above, Crossbell is divided by countless tiny lines, leading straight to the outside of the city.
"That's a clever ......"
The phantom applauded meaninglessly.
There is a balance in the Seven Jewels. If the Seven Jewels are destroyed somewhere, the earth will gradually be repaired. In the same way, if the Qiyao vein is overactivated in one place, the earth will also transmit excess energy to the missing place.
And the result of this change is the action of the Cui Yao Vein, which caused the wind.
In the city of Crossbell, a strong wind suddenly rose. The fog that he had planted was blown away by the strong wind, and rushed out of the city frantically. A large amount of wind traveled around the city, visibility quickly recovered, and the fog demons that moved in the fog disappeared because of the thinning of the fog.
By 10 minutes, Crossbell's silhouette was clearly visible.
It's amazing. No matter how many times I look at it, I feel that this formation technique is very powerful.
Using rune paper as a medium and Qiyao veins as energy, with the power of one person, it can change the climate of a city.
Was Crutz Naldan a disciple? It's just a second-rate combatant, but he has quite a powerful secret technique.
Thinking so, the phantom opened the fan in his hand, and behind him, a rickety old man suddenly appeared.
The old man wore a very old blue robe, and his neck was decorated with a very ornate collar like that of a medieval nobleman, and in his withered hands, he held a magnificent oversized book that seemed to be twice as thick as a dictionary.
"Will it go according to plan?"
The phantom asked.
The old man silently opened the huge book, his thin body and rickety back, which made people wonder if this act of turning the book would become the culprit of the murder of the old man.
"Everything will go according to plan."
The old man turned the page and said in the affirmative. What is strange is that although he looks like an old man, his voice is as crisp as that of a boy of twelve or thirteen. As soon as he finished speaking, his water-lacked fingers closed the book. The heavy pages of the book are intertwined, and the sound of mold and dampness is made like history.
In this way, its white hair is long, supple, and shiny, which is not at all found in the elderly.
"Yes......"
The phantom answered, and the old man nodded respectfully to him and slowly stepped back.
"Wait a minute. You're checking for me, will that man, Yuki Tatsumi, be an obstacle to my plans? ”
“……”
The old man stopped, but did not open the book again.
The phantom also realized that what he had done was not quite right, and he shook his head and said, "Stand down." ”
The old man's figure continued to retreat, suddenly fading a lot, and in the next second, he disappeared out of thin air.
"Don't you know? Yu, Tatsumi, who are you? ”
The phantom sighed with emotion and took a step towards the vast sky. Then, under the traction of gravity, it quickly fell to the ground. When his head touched the ground, it instantly turned into a cloud of mist, enveloping him and disappearing.
――――――――――――――――――――――
Ling looked at You excitedly.
His body was glowing.
Yu Tatsumi used Qi to communicate with Crossbell's talismans, and then reversed the Qiyao veins into a formation, thus changing the celestial phenomena and summoning a gale.
At the same time, his body was also filled with the Seven Yao Veins as part of the medium.
Therefore, there seemed to be innumerable, emerald-colored, glowing lines on his body, crawling all over his body along the course of the bones, along the direction of the muscles, and even along every line of the muscles.
These tiny lines of light make his skin look like it's glowing, and it's really transparent.
This is not something that can be seen casually. As a "fun" thing, it's really interesting enough.
It's really interesting to be able to tamper with things that are not changed in the minds of ordinary people.
Ling happily reached out to grab her own hair that was scattered in the wind, the purple satin was flowing in the slight mist, the cat was playing with her tail, and Ling was playing with her hair.
The wind is very strong, and that is the wind that begins to affect the degree of travel.
However, strong winds are always much stronger than dense fog. At least there won't be vague monsters attacking people in the wind.
And, with better visibility, people can at least go to work on their own.
Seeing the sky blue again and the sun shining again, You finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his feet went limp, and he almost fell.
Today's two consecutive uses of qi greatly consumed his physical strength.
"Seniors. It's remarkable. ”
Yue stood beside him, and he didn't mean to do anything.
However, Yue knew that the seniors did not trust themselves so much. Although it looks extremely weak, if you want to do it yourself, I'm afraid that you will still be escaped by your seniors. A person of his character, no matter how weak he is, will not show it in front of the enemy.
"Ah, polite words are avoided. Now, I need to get in touch with someone. ”
"Who?"
"Hospital. Tell them that there are serious injuries in the old town......"
