Chapter 185: A Quiet Night

[2nd Holy Alliance, December 15, 478, Longhai Sea, 6:38 pm]

I don't know if it's because of the influence of Thunder Island, the night in the Longhai Sea came much earlier than expected. The blue sky was faded by the crimson sunset, and the remnants of the white clouds were dyed bright red by the glow. The breeze gently blows in my ears, like a whisper from afar, is it the elegy of the fish-man or the soft murmur of the scale demon?

Colorful sea fish leap out of the sea, some in the shape of a long shuttle, from the open sea, with the poetry of a voyager, and some in the shape of a short shuttle, from the surroundings, exuding the simplicity of grass people. Some of the fish are so small that they are only the size of a bean up close, like a little sand in the desert, drifting away in the wind, while others are so large that they look like a small mountain from a distance.

In the sky, birds pass through the clouds, and high-flying swallow puffins enjoy the joy of freedom in the sky, flocks of tuk-tuk birds fly to the other side of the sea, blood-stained red cranes glide low in the sky, waiting for the right moment, trying to catch the dinner that pops out of the sea, light green Asakusa seagulls quietly pass by, leaving a refreshing fragrance, and pale yellow finches are dyed orange by the orange-red sunset, spreading their beautiful scissor-like tails and walking in the wind.

A colorful painting of a sea landscape, with countless beautiful dots dotted in the blue sky. The afterglow of the setting sun is stained red in the blue sky, and the blood-colored sky brings a little scarlet.

Bavin sat in the command room, quickly finished his dinner, took a glass of red wine, turned his back to the sunset, and analyzed the map of Ray Island taped to the wall little by little.

There was no combat meeting tonight, and he pushed off all socializing activities to prepare for the strategy meeting the next morning.

The Ray Island map is a hundred-year-old version, and many places on it have been blurred, and it has been reluctantly used as a military map after many corrections.

Ba Wen was the youngest legion commander in the Dragon Kingdom, and he was able to open the Eleventh Vein Gate at the age of twenty-five, when he was invited by the Sword of Kings, but in the end he refused. He unexpectedly chose the army, and it only took three years to become the commander of the Fourth Legion of the Dragon Kingdom with the support of Zilde.

Garam Childe gave him command of Operation Thunder Island in order to give him the opportunity to make a meritorious contribution and to gain a foothold in the Dragon Nation's army.

This is the so-called army politicians, and Bavin does not like it. He's a general, at least in his heart, a general who leads his troops into battle and charges into battleβ€”

Bang –

A knock on the door broke the silence.

Bang bang –

The knock on the door became quick.

Bang bang bang –

"Please come in. Bawen frowned, and his train of thought was interrupted again, which was very annoying to the incident.

The door opened, and Munro walked in, a silver-white magic armor creaking and crunching, standing in the center of the command room, looking at Ba Wen with a serious face.

"Your Excellency Ancient Monroe, as I have already said, we will not receive any visitors tonight. "If there is no emergency, please go back!"

Gu Monroe shook his head and said, "General Bawen, this matter is urgent!"

"I'll give you ten minutes, and if it's not as important as I thought, I'd like you to get out of here. ”

"Okay. Gu Monro swept the table, found the map of Ray Island on Bavin's desk, took a few steps to the right, and deliberately kept a certain distance from Bavin. "Three months ago, I met the seventh inheritor, Card Master, Agnesβ€”"

"You're at war?"

"Yes, I didn't get past him, Agnes is very strong, and the power of the tarot cards is strange. "Just one card can create an entire world." ”

Bawen rubbed his temples, picked up the teacup on the table and said: "Your Excellency Gu Monro, Agnes has not appeared in the alliance for twenty years, and he will not have any impact on this Thunder Island operation, so you should report this news to the Sword of Kings, about the information of the inheritor, our army is powerless." ”

Gu Monroe was a little angry, slapped Bavin's table heavily, and said loudly, "In addition to Agnes, he has companions, and their goal may be the Lost Lands. ”

"Your Excellency, pay attention to your attitude. Baven's sharp gaze revealed the majesty that he should not have at his age, and with just a soft snort, Gu Monro took a few steps back. "Mr. Ancient Monro, the Lost Land is the territory of the Dream Clan, and the Holy Alliance has no right to intervene, not even the Sword of Kings has the right to enter. You have to remember your position, the Ray Island we are going to now is not a lost land, understand?"

Gu Mon didn't move, and there was a burst of anger from under the hill-like armor.

"General Bavin, even His Majesty the King would not dare to speak to me in such a tone. ”

"I'm not a king, but I'm a general, I'm the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, and you must take my orders. Bawen stood up, raising his red cloak, which seemed far away in the twilight.

The atmosphere was very tense for a while, Gu Monro clenched his fists, and Bawen also broke out in a cold sweat. He knew that the person in front of him was the number one warrior of the Alliance, and although he could open the Twelve Veins Gate, the spirit magician in front of him was nothing more than a fragile blank piece of paper.

With just one punch, you can make a big hole in your chest.

Fear is a human instinct.

But from the moment he stepped on the Light, Bavin had put life and death aside, and all he had was dedicated to war.

Gu Monroe stared at Bavin, and he was surprised that there was not the slightest fear in the young general's eyes. The initial emotional fluctuation disappeared without a trace in the next moment, without the slightest wave, as quiet as a lake.

"General Baven, I beg your pardon for the offense today. Gu Monro bowed and apologized, and before Bawen could speak, he walked out of the command room, which had been slammed shut.

Bawen hesitated for a moment, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then sat back in place and breathed a long sigh of relief. At this time, the gentle sea breeze is blowing in the face, and the sunset in the sky has set, but the figure without the sun still leaves traces of its past walk. The remaining light on the distant horizon was still shining in all directions, and the crescent moon that had long been hanging in the sky shone a little light.

He flipped through the map of Ray again, stared at the location of the golden sand beach, and pondered.

[2nd Holy Alliance, December 15, 478, Longhai Sea, 7:38 p.m.]

The beautiful blood-colored sea is dyed with a bleak blue, and the dreamlike reflection reflects the endless world. The swallow puffins, toot birds, and flaming cranes in the air all disappeared from view and blended into the silent night. Instead of scrambling to jump out of the water, the fish quietly dive back to the bottom of the ocean to roost.

When the last bits of the sun's light fade into the far reaches of the horizon, the silence of the night follows. Stars dot the night in the sky, and a gorgeous crescent moon casts a soft light that dots the beautiful ocean.

When Bai Liuying woke up, it was already half past seven in the evening, and her sloppy clothes were replaced by Qiu Fengyang's cleanest skirt. She stood up, removed the heavy covering, and looked out of the porthole, where the night had darkened and her stomach began to growl.

Qiu Fengyang was lying in front of her, and when she saw Bai Liuying wake up, Qiu Feng Jianhao naturally woke up.

"How did you sleep, did you dream?" asked Qiu Fengyang.

"Hmm!" Bai Liuying jumped into the arms of Qiu Fengyang and said: "I had a long, long dream, I dreamed that my mother made me something to eat, I dreamed that my father took me to fish, and my sister, who I had never met, stood in the snow and watched the plum blossoms fall one after another. ”

"yes, it was a good dream. Qiu Fengyang smiled bitterly, in the days when Bai Meiluo left, his dreams were full of white-haired girls with long swords, but I don't know how long it has been, she has never appeared in his dreams again, hearing Bai Liuying's dream, Qiu Fengyang can't help but feel a little envious.

Bai Liuying hammered Qiu Fengyang's chest and said, "Of course, I also dreamed of my big brother. ”

"Oh, what did you dream of me?"

"You've become a hero of the world, a very powerful, very powerful kind. Bai Liuying drew a huge circle in the air, which was big enough for her.

"I see. Qiu Fengyang touched Bai Liuying's little head, and felt a sour feeling in his heart, the little girl had lost all her relatives, and she could only meet them in her dreams, if it wasn't for herself, she was afraid that she would freeze to death on the streets of Maple Leaf Harbor.

Bai Liuying smiled while exaggerating to tell Qiu Fengyang about the adventure in his dream.

Qiu Fengyang sat by the window and listened carefully, so Bai Liuying spoke more energetically.

Before I knew it, time passed quickly, and Bai Liuying's stomach screamed louder.

Goo Goo –

"It's time to eat. Qiu Fengyang said with a smile.

"Is my brother hungry too?"

Qiu Fengyang nodded, although eating was not that important to him.

"Okay, let's go together!" Bai Liuying pulled Qiu Fengyang's sleeve and walked out of the cabin with a radiant look, but after a few steps, she found a problem, she didn't know where the restaurant was.

So, I had to follow Qiu Fengyang step by step.

Many people on the boat knew this little girl and the Autumn Wind Sword Hao in front of her, and watching them pass through the corridor, everyone gave way, which made Bai Liuying feel the joy of being respected for the first time.

Qiu Fengyang was very modest, holding Bai Liuying in one hand, and the pitch-black streamer of the sword body in the other. He saluted the soldier who greeted him and Liuying, and kept muttering: Hello, hello-

By the time they arrived at the restaurant, Shuping had already found a place. Normandy, Michiyo, and Wenwen beckoned to Autumn Wind and invited the two of them to dinner.

Qiu Fengyang squatted down and asked Bai Liuying's opinion: "Liuying, would you like to join them?"

She nodded, "Of course we do, we have fun eating together!

"Yes, we are comrades-in-arms. ”

Qian Heming and Sima Kong found two stools, and Qiu Fengyang and Bai Liuying sat with them easily. Everyone is here, everyone is here, everyone is very happy, and Qiu Fengyang also showed a long-lost smile.

The squad leader Shuping was the first to speak, and after three rounds of drinking, all he said was drunk, and his bustling appearance made people laugh.

Lianzun and Sima Kong competed and boxed, Lianzun won more and lost less, but fortunately, Sima Kong drank an amazing amount of wine, and his face was still not red after drinking three times the wine of ordinary people.

The father and son of Norman and Normandy were talking about the aftermath of the war, and they said that if possible, they would open a post office to deliver letters when they returned to their hometowns, so that happiness could be transmitted to every corner of the world.

Michiyo, Chizuru and Wenwen talk about the trivial things at home together, as well as the other half of their hearts that girls like to talk about.

Shi Jiangxue, Binet Zhizhi and Bai Liuying listened to Qiu Fengyang's stories, and he told the story of the original and Bai Luomei's wanderings. Bai Liuying asked a lot of questions, and Qiu Fengyang always answered them patiently. Shi Jiangxue was very envious, and her expression was written on her face. Binet didn't care about her intelligence, whether it was a conversation or a story, she couldn't arouse any interest.

Time passed quickly, the noisy dining room gradually quieted down, the soldiers at the adjacent table became fewer and fewer, and the psychic lamp illuminated the night. In the distance, where the moonlight shone across the sea, the fleet cut through the night, the sparkling sea glowed with starlight, and the engine of the spiritual pulse array made a faint sound.

Out of nowhere, there was a melodious flute sound, low, long, beautiful. Shuping unconsciously hummed the lyrics along with the tune:

Blue Night, My Heart is Whispering, Frost Fills, Moonlight Canopy, Crescent Crescent, Hares, Elks, Hats, Wearing Hats, Wearing Clothes, Childhood Memories, Turning Around but Forgetting, Remembering Wind Chimes, Salsa Ringing Under the Eaves, Blue Hyacinths, Blooming into the Ocean.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

Dinner ended in singing, and Chief Shuping was drunk, and if it was usual, he would definitely be scolded by his wife. Lianzun and Sima Kong also collapsed on the table, and Nuo Ling and Normandy father and son helped the three of them into the meeting room. Wenwen, Michiyo, and Chizuru ran to the deck to enjoy the night view, and Bina said that he wanted to rest, so they all took their leave.

Shi Jiangxue touched Bai Liuying's soft long hair, and said goodbye to Qiu Fengyang and Bai Liuying: "Your Excellency Jianhao, Xiao Liuying, shall we see you tomorrow?"

"Sister Jiang Xue, what are you going to do tonight?" Bai Liuying asked word by word.

"My sister has to write a diary every day, and I haven't written a diary todayβ€”"

"It's amazing, I keep a diary every day. Bai Liuying said, "If you can, can you also write Liuliu in your diary?"

"Of course, Hotaru is a very cute girl. Shi Jiangxue said goodbye to Bai Liuying and said good night to Qiu Fengyang. "Brother Qiu, see you tomorrow-"

"See you tomorrow. Qiu Fengyang replied quietly.

Then, Shi Jiangxue disappeared alone at the end of the corridor.

Autumn Wind and White Firefly went to the central plaza at the bottom of the deck, where they saw huge fountains and statues, and to their surprise, there were bushes and woods on the ship.

After leaving the central square, they went to the small library on the ship, where Qiu Fengyang borrowed a fairy tale book. Then the two returned to the room, and after washing, Qiu Fengyang covered Bai Liuying with a quilt, lit the spiritual lantern, and told her a bedtime story. Bai Liuying quickly fell asleep, still muttering about her dreams.

Qiu Fengyang smiled, put the blessing and streamer beside him, lowered his head, and kissed Bai Liuying's forehead. He sat by the hanging window, with the endless sea in the distance, and the shadow of the white plum fell in front of him.

"Who are you?" asked the little boy at the foot of the Blue Flower Mountain.

"White plum falls. ”

"Are you a swordsman?"

The little girl shook her head, "I'm not. "What's your name?"

"My name is Autumn Wind Yang, the sunshine in the autumn wind. ”

"That's nice. The girl laughed, "Why do you want to practice swords?"

"Wait for someone?"

"Waiting for whom?"

"A man who has already left. The little boy said, "My father, Autumn Wind." ”

"How long have you been waiting here?"

"Two years. ”

"Do you have to wait?"

"Wait another year, and then don't wait. "Are you a swordsman?" the boy asked.

"Yes, I want to be the strongest swordsman in the Tree Country. "This black sword is called Streamer, it is my saber, and one day, I will become a sword maniac in Shuguo. ”

"That's nice!" the boy smiled.

The girl hesitated for a moment and asked, "In a year, if your father hasn't come back yet, let's go and see the snow plum blossoms fall together, okay?"

The boy didn't say a word, but nodded.

The girl was very happy. "From today on, we are friends. ”

"It's a deal. ”

"It's a deal. ”
