Chapter Fifty-Four: The Grand Dinner Finally Begins

This is a wooden high platform, four zhang in circumference, ten zhang high, built in the brilliant Nine Treasure Lotus Lantern is only more than ten zhang away, and you can see dense human heads surging like a tide under your feet.

In the original plan, it was a high platform for the view.

At the same time, it is also the place where the winners of the Lotus Lamp are announced.

And at this moment, this is the commanding height of the entire Lanyin City, as far as the eye can see, the lights are incomparably bright, this ancient city is like a legendary thousand-eyed beast, blinking thousands of pairs of bright and deep eyes in the dark.

Ao Xuehua quietly looked at the man in black in front of her, he was not dressed luxuriously, but his bearing gave people a daunting feeling, she was silent, in her arms was a weak Xiao Jiu, and the white cat was lying on Xiao Jiu's chest.

The two of them had just stepped into the blooming flame flower, and they had expected to be teleported out of the lighthouse, after all, the Nine Treasures Society had already decided the final winner, and there was no need to stay there.

But she didn't expect that when she opened her eyes, she would appear here.

Ao Xuehua glanced back at the Nine Treasure Lotus Lamp behind her and smiled slightly: "Found out that there is a problem with the Nine Treasure Lotus Lamp?" But it's probably a little late now. ”

The black-clothed city lord looked at Ao Xuehua, who was not surprised at all, and sighed: "The girl is very knowledgeable and skilled, this lotus lamp is indeed in big trouble~ The matter is serious, and Thorn also hopes to learn the identity of the girl." ”

Ao Xuehua quietly flipped open her collar, and the blood-dripping orchid was still blooming there: "I don't think I need to explain too much. ”

Thorn Li sighed and said: "In the family surnamed Lan, there is no girl, if the girl does not tell the truth, please forgive Thorn for being disrespectful." ”

Ao Xuehua shook her head, her smile still bright: "Then it's okay to treat me as an outer room so-so." ”

……

……

When the space inside the Nine Treasure Lotus Lamp began to turbulent, before Ge Sheng could react, the black-clothed mage quietly held his hand.

In the next moment, they had teleported.

Ge Sheng blinked, only to feel that the surroundings were extremely dim, completely different from the light in the Nine Treasure Lotus Lamp, so he looked curiously at the mage in the dark: "Where is this?" ”

The black-clad mage silently made a silent finger and pointed outward.

Ge Sheng only realized at this time that he and the black-clothed mage were in a compartment, the room was extremely dim, but there was a window that opened outward, and there was a dazzling seven-colored lotus lamp there.

No, Ge Sheng exclaimed, and he saw a high platform standing nearer, where everything could be seen.

"Found something wrong with the Nine Treasure Lotus Lamp? ......" Ao Xuehua's voice was coming slowly.

Xiao Jiu was in her arms, and around them, behind a man in black who took the lead, dozens of heavily armed warriors were standing in an orderly manner.

Ge Sheng couldn't help but be startled, and tried to poke out of the window to let Xiao Jiu escape quickly, but as soon as his head stretched out, he hit the transparent barrier at the window.

Ge Sheng tried to reach out and touch it, but was surprised to find that there was a transparent spar-like substance on this window.

……

……

In the fourth spring of Qingli, he stood on a higher place, so high that when he looked down at him, he could only see the light of the lighthouse as faint as a bean, and Xingxi stood calmly beside him, forever as safe as an immovable sculpture.

"It seems to have begun." He looked at the lights of the thousands of homes below him, and his smile had the gentleness of a swan and the cruelty of a wolf. "However, the senior sister and the child seem to be missing, have you found out?"

Xingxi shook her head, without a trace of shame or frustration: "Outside the plane, you can't probe it." ”

Then she paused to answer the next question.

"It's already started." The girl's voice was unremarkable: "The City of Eternal Night project has been officially launched. ”

……

……

Ao Xuehua shook her head, her smile still bright: "Then it's okay to treat me as an outer room so-so." ”

Xiao Jiu couldn't help but hold his forehead, and expressed his incomprehension of Ao Xuehua's sudden disconnection at this time: "Those surnamed Lan who display the family emblem outside the outer room will be expelled." ”

"Then it looks like I'm going to be exposed." Ao Xuehua smiled and looked at the man in black in front of him: "Will you burn me?" Lord Castle. ”

Thorny is tall and tall, and his face is quite handsome and tough, if he is thirty years younger, he will definitely be a rare beautiful man, but the years have left deep marks on his face, obviously the long-term career as a city lord has destroyed his health to a certain extent, he looked at Ao Xuehua, shook his head and said: "Yi'er mentioned you to me just now, and promised that you have absolutely nothing to do with the saboteur, I don't know what you said to her, but a one-sided word is a one-sided word after all, Your Excellency must not be a Lanye person, if you don't have a real identity." , under which you cannot rule out suspicion. ”

"The lord of the castle is quite sensible." Ao Xuehua smiled, and instead said something else: "This time, the person who did the action against your lotus lantern is already so strong that even if the city resists it, it is only to the point that the mantis arm blocks the car, and now that everything has begun, what you need to do is not to resist, but to flee as soon as possible." ”

"I think that apart from the entire Lanye Empire and that academy, there may not be anything they are afraid of in this vast land."

When Thorny heard her say this, she suddenly understood something, and was about to speak again.

White light slowly bloomed in the night sky.

They couldn't care about talking anymore, and they all looked back at the huge Nine Treasure Lotus Lamp.

This huge lantern has quietly stopped rotating, and white light slowly radiates from the lantern, and those external colorful decorations have begun to fall off from the lotus lantern.

It was as if a pure white lotus was slowly blooming from its heavy lotus clothes.

Thorny stared at the lotus lantern blankly, and said in despair: "No." ”

The hanging lanterns, the delicate wood and stone carvings, and the layers of graceful and luxurious painting and paper-cutting have fallen off from the lotus lantern, revealing its original lamp body.

It was a pure white lotus lighthouse, several feet tall and straight, standing in the center of Lanyin City.

Under the lamp, the tourists and merchants who watched the lantern watched the Nine Treasure Lotus Lantern give birth to such a change, and they all laughed and laughed, discussing what new tricks the city lord came up with this year, and which young talent was the one who finally won the orchid rhino lantern.

It's just that they didn't know that the city lord in their mouth was standing there, his face like ashes, looking at the reborn Nine Treasure Lotus Lantern in almost despair.

"Hidden in the city." Ao Xuehua sighed: "If it weren't for so many visions, who would have thought that such a rare magnificent spiritual artifact would be placed on the streets of the city, allowing people to touch and play, that strange person's ingenious mind is certainly worthy of admiration, but it is even more terrifying to see through the existence of all these disguises." ”

Thorny looked at the tourists and businessmen who were laughing and playing under the lighthouse, and they couldn't care about the image anymore, their eyes were split, and they shouted hysterically at the bottom of the tower: "Escape!" ”

This sentence of "escape" rumbled like thunder, and it sounded above Lanyin City, hoarse and desperate like a howl of a terrible ghost.

The bustling crowd under the tower was stunned, they were shocked by the thunder that resounded through half of the ancient city, but no one guessed that this warning came from their own city lord, who was usually gentle and unsmiling.

So they just stopped what they were doing and looked at the high platform where the voice came from, hoping to hear the voice of the city lord.

But there is no then.

At the same time as Thorn gave this warning, the Nine Treasure Lotus Lamp had already sprouted countless tiny pillars of light as white as milk.

It's like countless crossbows that are about to shoot sharp arrows.

Only Thorn Li understood that those pillars of light were not something comparable to the so-called machine crossbows, and in front of them, the most powerful bed crossbows were just children's toys.

But there was nothing he could do.

He could only watch as the countless pillars of light seemed slow, but in fact they were as fast as lightning, and then they unleashed a torrential rain of arrows at the crowd wriggling like ants below.

No one would have thought that this lotus lantern, which is known as the lotus lantern that has protected Lanyin City for hundreds of years, finally waved the sharpest butcher knife towards the city on this lantern night.
