Chapter Forty-Eight: Life on Vortex Island

Rinkan

Several others have remained in the area of the grotto, living a similar life as before.

Meronica Jia, a young man of calligraphy and painting, named the grotto "Lin Pavilion", which means "the library of the mystery". He also wrote a plaque and wanted to hang it outside the cave, but was stopped by Burning Valley because it would expose the target. This plaque has been standing on Jia's bookshelf.

Jia spent more than a month tidying up the library, reading and writing every day. He plans to write a series of biographies, called "The Twelve Demons of Kuiba".

Piano master Karashok Ling repeats every day the action of moving her flowers from the library to dry in the sun and then back to the library. She would stay away from the library when she played the piano, lest the stingy Meronica Ka complain that it was too noisy.

She doesn't like Jia, but she often has to talk to Jia, because Jia has the ability to see images of the future, and she often asks if she sees Kuiba or something, and Jia keeps saying she doesn't.

Burning Valley and Yu Ruoli's job was to draw a battle map of the island in case of emergency, and in their spare time they would play gambling games together, and Ran Valley's last position was the marshal of the Lingshan Army, but he never took it seriously.

Wan Liang and Bar Guda generally go together, Wan Liang, as a quartermaster, to find a source of food; Bagoo is actually the crown prince of the Sting, the partner of Kuiba, and the second leader of the Kuiba Empire, but he has always considered himself a machine master, and everywhere he goes, he will look around for materials to make weapons.

Because there are many buildings on the island that contain supplies left behind by pirates or hermits, there is no shortage of food and utensils. Wan Liang also found some seeds of wild crops with the help of Lei Guang, and together with Okura, in a valley, planted some grains, fruits and vegetables.

Okura's kitchen is where these people meet every day, and Okura always tries to take care of everyone's tastes as much as possible. Inspector Lei Guang spends most of the day when he is not doing reconnaissance flights in Okura's kitchen, chatting with Okura, who is cooking.

"If we don't wait for the resurrection of Quibal in our lifetimes, that is to say, we are all dead, will the new generation of Quibal still be able to find the Cupola?"

"I don't know," Okura said seriously, "but I think it was arranged by God." Do you remember how our generation of Quibal got his cupola? ”

"Of course. Mi Lin himself didn't know that there was such a thing as a skyrocket, but he finally got it, and he walked most of the world in such a distance. ”

"Yes, the war followed him so far."

"Understood, you mean, the presence of the Cupola in this place is a sign that the new generation of Kuiba will burn the flames of war to a place even greater than the normal world."

"It's going to be spectacular, friend, and the world is going to be destroyed once again." Okura's eyes were filled with sincere yearning.

"Do you like world destruction?"

"Dishes that can be eaten all year round don't have much taste," Okura looked at Lei Guang seriously, "Dishes that die in winter and grow in spring are even better." Quibal is the winter of the world. ”

......

The prophecy of Chia

This peaceful life lasted for a long time and was shattered by Chia's prophecy.

On this day, Jia shouted out unusually loudly, "Ling, I saw the autumn falling." ”

All the people present surrounded Jia at once.

"He's alive. I have a small child. Jia said.

"Did he leave us?" Ling is sensitive.

"Don't believe this." "This is not Akiraki's style of acting, even if he wants to live his own life, he will tell us, as long as he lives." ”

And so it ended, and after a few more days, Ka said, "Quibal is resurrected, and in the water, his eyes are bright, ......."

Jia's words, except for Ling and Youruoli, others are only considered to be games like fortune-telling and looking. Jia herself knows that the images of the future she sees are often mixed with ordinary dreams, and it is really difficult to distinguish which ones are future scenes and which are just ordinary dreams.

However, Lei Guang still flew all the waters he could fly to, and Hai Wenxiang also looked at all the waters he could swim to after learning the news. Of course nothing.

In the process, Hai Wenxiang discovered several underwater meanders, and in the days that followed, he carefully observed the situation in these meanders. Logically, it was possible to swim outside through such a warp realm, but her farthest expeditions were blocked by high-pulse zones that creatures couldn't pass through.

After that, there was a long silence. It's been so long that it can already make Qi Hengsan make a new discovery.

According to Qi Hengsan's records and calculations, it had been ten years since they had been in this place, but each of them was exactly the same as when they first arrived, that is, during these ten years, the older ones had not grown old, and the younger ones had not grown up.

"We are illusions," Jia said in his lofty remarks, as if he had thought about it a long time ago, "like the shadow of the cupola, and when Kuibal pulls it out of his hand, we are all gone." ”

Jia has always said things that he assumes so definitely that he often convinces the listener to believe that it is true.

"Makes sense." Lei Guang looked very relieved, as if the question that had been bothering him had finally been answered.

"Then I'll let him listen to me and say a few words before pulling it out." Ling said seriously.

"If that's the case, then the purpose of our stay here should be to prevent Kuiba from getting the Cupola." It's Burning Valley-style humor.

"You death-dreading ghost." Ling took it seriously again, "We're still alive, it was Kuiba who helped us get a life back, and we should return it to him." ”

"The new Quibal is someone else, little girl." Wan Liang said, "We don't know him, and he doesn't know us." I don't even know if he's a son or a younger brother. ”

"I had a hunch that I would like him." Yu Ruoli said.

"Male or female?" Burning Valley looked at Yu Ruoli playfully.

"Now we need to know the exact date, is there any way to know?" Qi Hengsan said, "Only then can we calculate how far away the year of Kuiba is from now, and the period is about 333 years." ”

"If it's more than a hundred years off,......," Ranya grimaced.

"We'll have to wait for him here, won't we?" Lei Guang smiled, "I can't imagine him as someone else now, I think he is like Milin, and Milin wants us to wait here." ”

"Treasure this miracle, folks," said Okura, "and I don't think there are two generations of Kuiba." ”

Soon, the thick layer of rock in the grotto, which encased the cupola, rattled, as if a beast was breaking free from its cage. This made the twelve demons extremely surprised, and the cupola sensed the information of Kuiba, and Kuiba was resurrected, or was in the process of being resurrected. This means that they are likely to be around the "Year of Kuiba" and will not have to wait long.

Qi Heng San made a note of this time period, and never left there again, every day he had to observe the stone pillar that made the sound, lie on it and listen to the sound inside, and so on.

The movement in the stone pillar continued, allowing the twelve demons to live in an atmosphere full of hope every day. Occasionally, the sound of the stone pillar would fall silent, and the twelve demons would gather around it restlessly, waiting for it to come back to life again. Their greatest fear was that after his resurrection, Quibal would be discovered by the gods and killed.

The intermittent movement in the stone pillar became the center of the daily life of the Twelve Demons, who resumed the habits of warriors, and gathered all day long to discuss various plans for meeting Kuibal, or to do tactical drills. Burning Valley miraculously summoned his own vein beast.

When people have something to do, they always feel that time flies quickly. In a blink of an eye, it has been more than 2,600 days when the stone pillar made the initial abnormal movement, on this day, the stone pillar suddenly emitted electric light, and the bright light points swam in the cracks of the stone wall, and then, in a sound similar to opening the pulse gate, the stone pillar shook violently, and some broken stone fell from the outer stone wall.

They cheered excitedly.

"He will follow the call of the Celestial Lance, as if he were listening to a war song from the far heavens, and while chanting softly, he will walk towards his weapon Celestial Lance, and nothing will stop him, for he is the greatest man in the world." Karashok Ling started making up her rap lyrics from this day.

Soon, another more violent tremor occurred, and almost all of the outermost layers of the stone wall fell down.

Then, Lei Guang spotted the figure of the Warp One during a routine flight. Judging from the shape of the ship and the clothing of the personnel on it, this is a warship of the Holy Alliance.
