"—The lifespan of the people of Thunder Island is only thirty years, but I have the blood of the elves, and as the Six Nations Pillars left one by one, Lord Orebo also left the Heavenly Sword and disappeared into the ThunderClan altar. Ironically, I became the only surviving Six Nations Pillar on Ray Island. Because my strength was so terrifying, the third king after Orebo killed me. ”

"How so?"

Haiyun's black pupils contracted, and a strange expression appeared on his face.

"You're a pillar of the Six Kingdoms, why-"

Yatina let out a long sigh and shook her head, "Since the demons have been dispersed, the hero who slew the demon should also be gone. Peaceful years don't need heroes, and I am that contradiction. ”

"However, they tried everything they could to kill me, and instead I slaughtered the entire Triphass Auditorium. The desire to kill lost me. The massacre continued until the next morning, and by the time I came to my senses, the entire Isle of Thunder was strewn with corpses. ”

"I have broken my promise and sworn in the Trifath Auditorium that I will always protect the Isle of Thunder. But in the end, it was me who destroyed Thunder Island. Phantom Retta, the prison I built, exiled me, a sinner who lost himself in the slaughter and committed a heinous crime. ”

Yatina smiled.

"It was my original promise to protect Ray Island with my life. Since then, he has become the master of the Phantom Thunder Tower, the guardian of the first layer of the Phantom Thunder Tower, and the guide of the Phantom Thunder Tower, guiding generations of Thunder Clan people to gain powerful power. ”

Yatina opened her gently closed eyes, looked at the black throne in the Great Hall of Angolo, and said with a gloomy expression:

"That's my story, now you get it?"

"Mistress Yatina—are you alright?"

Haiyun asked with concern.

Yatina did not answer, but stood like a cold statue.

At the moment when her heart was beating, the Valkyrie who was holding a cooing umbrella, playing the Sebas Magic Flute, and wearing a black and white double emperor star ring was gone. Dressed in a black and white evening dress, without candlelight or music, there was not the slightest tear in the corners of her eyes that looked like a girl. Faced with countless bloody battles and cruel realities, he watched his friends and comrades-in-arms go far away, while his soul was suppressed in the Phantom Thunder Tower-

Like the staircase of bones in the dark abyss, the forest of bones of Bai Sensen, time has long been meaningless in her eyes.

Haiyun wanted to comfort her, but how could a guilt-filled soul accept forgiveness from others before forgiving himself?

A goodbye was the end of the silence of the two.

"I'm fine, Haiyun. ”

Yatina put away the coo umbrella in her hand, put her hands behind her back, and turned around, her uncertain face once again blooming with a girlish and innocent smile.

But in Haiyun's eyes, such an innocent smile hides the bitterness that people can't see.

"Leave, you've completed the test of the first layer of the Phantom Tower. ”

Yatina stood on tiptoe and patted Haiyun on the shoulder.

"Please close your eyes, and in the next moment I will send you to the second floor of the Phantom Tower. As the guide of the Phantom Tower, I need to warn you. The guardians of the second to eighth floors are all the same person, her name is Bernard, and she is not a simple character. Yatina said, "I am the only sinner in the Phantom Thunder Tower, and the others who are willing to stay in the Phantom Thunder Tower have their own reasons. These guardians are all very strong, and the higher you go, the harder the test will become. How to complete these tests depends not only on strong strength, but also on one's own wisdom. ”

Haiyun nodded, closing her eyes as Yatina had said.

"Are you ready?"

Yatina asked, and a black and white spirit array was formed at the foot of Haiyun.

"Now under your feet is the spirit array that leads to the second layer of the Phantom Thunder Tower, and when you open your eyes again in half a minute, it will be the second layer of the Phantom Thunder Tower!"

"Will I be able to see you again when I reach the second floor of the Phantom Tower?" Haiyun asked.

"I don't know. ”

"Who is stronger than you among the other Guardians?"

"It's hard to say, but don't try to use the power of Heart of the Ocean to force your way through the level. Yatina accused, "No one in the Phantom Tower can save you except the White Emperor Star!"

"Okay, okay!" Haiyun agreed, "That's the forbidden technique of the Sea Kingdom's royal family, and it can only be used once a year, even if I want to use it, I can't use it again." ”

"That's the best!"

"Can you open your eyes, when will the spirit array leading to the second layer be activated?"

"It's going to be right away. Yatina frowned, "Is that how you want to get out of here?"

"Claude is still waiting outside, and he can't miss the landing of the coalition forces. ”

"It's not going to be late, trust me-"

Yatina smiled, but Haiyun didn't see it, it was a gentle and beautiful smile.

"Lord Yatina, I'll miss you, will you miss me?"

"No, it won't. ”

Haiyun smiled awkwardly, two small dimples hanging from his lips, "Thank you, Lord Yatina—you're a kind man. ”

"Can you stop being numb?"

Haiyun shrugged, "When people still need numbness, say thank you and I'm sorry-"

The moment the words fell, a light intertwined with black and white flashed in front of his eyes, and the Angolo Hall returned to its previous deserted appearance. Yatina sighed, returned to her throne, and stared blankly at where the clouds had disappeared, silent.

The crystal chandelier hanging from the dome casts a faint glow that illuminates the empty hall. Mirrors of light reflected in the smooth and reflective marble floor, and with a wave of her hand, the tall curtains opened to the sides as if they were alive.

As the sun shone into the dreary Angolo Hall, she stroked the delicate embellishments on her throne and reached out to take out a glass of fine red wine from the dark and torn space in front of her.

"Thank you, Haiwen. ”

She put her glass back, feeling so numb for the first time.

Looking at the classical dome, her empty eyes seemed to glow, and she stood up and took out her Gollum Demon Umbrella from the torn space beside her.

Another black and white spirit circle was formed at his feet.

"Let's go, go to the eighth floor, and meet our princess, Bernard. Tell her that Yatina is my man, and if I hurt her, hehe-" she sneered, "I'm not done with her, what's the point of having a dark tome?"

Sunlight streamed in through the windows, and Yatina's laughter echoed through the Angolo Basilica.

The candle flame illuminates the corner, which is insignificant compared to the sun, but light is light, and it always illuminates the darkness -

————

Just as Yatina said, the black and white spirit array under her feet activated, and a whistling sound in her ears galloped by, and when Haiyun opened her eyes again, the magnificent Angolo Hall had long since disappeared. In its place are endless wheat fields. In the wheat field, the princess of the sea kingdom who lives deep in the city of Ye Na has never seen it with her own eyes. Only in the books of the Royal Library of the Sea Kingdom will there be a few illustrations of wheat fields, just like the beautiful pictures in the books, the whole wheat field is endless, and at the end of the horizon is the place where the blue sky and the yellow sea meet. The breeze gently blew through the piercing wheat, and the countless wheats bowed their heads and fell aside.

While marveling at the beautiful scenery, Haiyun knew that he had arrived at the realm of the second layer of the Phantom Tower. It's hard to imagine that there is such a picturesque world in the transparent tower above Riquan Lake.

The tiny burrs on the wheat turned into dust and drifted into the air, hazy like dandelions scattered in the wind. When she came to the second floor of the Phantom Thunder Tower, Haiyun did not feel as terrifying as falling into the dark realm, but a burst of fragrance and warmth flowed through her heart, as if a spring breeze was blowing across her face.

"Beautiful wheat fields, as spectacular as in a storybook. Haiyun sighed, "The breeze blows through the wheat waves, and the aroma of the earth blows to the face—"

Walking in the wheat field, the golden sea envelops her. She crouched down and observed the wet soil, which should have rained not long ago, and this was a place with plenty of rain. Without any psychic fluctuations, everything seems to be normal in the ordinary world.

"The Tower of Fantasy Thunder doesn't create an extra world for no reason – every floor of the Tower is a challenge. Haiyun jumped high, and with the help of the sunlight she could see the surrounding terrain clearly, and after staying in the air for a moment, she slowly landed again, "I am now in the middle of a golden wheat field, with endless wheat fields to the west, rolling hills more than ten kilometers to the east, high mountains to the north, and there is still snow on the top of the mountain that will not melt, and in the south—" Haiyun thought for a moment, "and there seems to be a river running through the wheat field in the south, and there seems to be a relatively large city there." ”

"But how can there be a city in the Phantom Tower?"

Haiyun thought as he walked, this world does not have any spiritual power fluctuations, who is the second-layer guardian Bernard in Yatina's mouth, and what is the test?

Stopping, Haiyun found that his spiritual skills were suppressed by a magical force in this world. Only by moving in the direction of the town can you weaken the inhibition of your spiritual power. After walking for about an hour, Haiyun found a river flowing down the snow-capped mountains to the north, through the wheat fields, and towards the town. She lowered her head and tasted the water, which was clear and slightly sweet. Once you've found the current, it should be easier to traverse the wheat fields, just follow the river all the way down to the town that is built with the water.

Every hour of walking, Haiyun stops to rest and observe his surroundings. She found that the sun was no different from the outside world, a far cry from the dreary atmosphere of Angolo's Hall. The wind was blowing from the northeast in the direction of the town. As we approached the town, there were more and more footprints in the wheat fields.

"It seems that people often walk by here. ”

Haiyun wondered if there was no trace of a human being in the golden wheat field he had just come to, and who planted such a large wheat field? This world looks ordinary, but there is always a strange and strange feeling in the tranquility.

The first person she met was an industrious farmer with a sickle in his hand, skillfully harvesting wheat, and his head was covered with beads of sweat like ants crawling on the wall. Behind him lay bundles of wheat that had been packed, neatly stacked together. Behind him was a field of wheat that had been harvested, scraped by a sickle to reveal neatly cut wheat stalks in the sunlight.

"You are a stranger!" the farmer did not look up, but when he heard the wind and grass in the wheat field, he knew that someone was coming, and he bent down ninety degrees and cut the wheat diligently, and his happy face was about to touch the ground.

"Stranger?" Haiyun was a little unaccustomed to the title.
