Seven Nights in the City The patron saint of the water capital (7) - the black hand in the shadows

In the Guto League-Champion Room, Wataru sat on the sofa and took a sip of the wine in his glass. He doesn't like to drink, in one way or another... But the peculiar sourness of this red wine can make him rarely sober.

"So, is that the end of your mission, Ken?" , Du's tone was with a hint of reproach, and he looked at the man in front of him like this, under the slightly sloppy appearance, there was a pair of wise eyes, and after receiving the news that the other party had come to the vicinity of the Silver Mountain Range, he summoned him back. He thought that things would be partially progressed, but what he waited for was a dry stream of worthless information.

"He's got his own plans, and it's just a mess for me to keep up with them." Ken said helplessly, moved a chair and sat down.

"Oh?" Wataru snorted noncommittally, seemingly not very satisfied.

"Actually, I really don't know why he took on this task," Ken said dejectedly, "I didn't prepare for the silver tournament, but I carried out this undercover plan... ”

"Don't tell me it's because of that Ruri's request," Ken Kan Wadu opened his mouth to say something, and took the lead. "If you want to prevaricate, I'll find a suitable reason"

"You know everything I know~" Du was silent for a while before he said softly, "So don't ask me questions you don't know"

"Is it~" Ken smiled and didn't continue on the topic, "By the way, what's the inside story of this silver competition, revealing it?" ”

"He's in charge of the Silver Tournament, I don't know anything," Wataru shrugged and excused.

Cut ~ cunning guy, willing to pout, gulp down the wine,

"Na, this is what he asked me to pass on to you" Ken handed over a thick envelope and stood up, "If there is nothing to do, I will leave first~"

"Smack~", after the door closed, Wataru took a light breath, closed his eyes and rested.

Reason... I've asked too...

"Why?" The young man was slightly stunned, and then shook his head, "You think I was moved by her plea." ”

"Don't continue if it's perfunctory," Wataru said indignantly, "Do you know what the consequences of going there will be with your current condition?" ”

"Oh ... Do you see that? "So the stars said,

"You don't have enough strength, and you're still holding on to confront SAMALE, you're no longer conceited!" Wataru snorted, "Even your greatest reliance, the power of Luo Yu and the Divine Beast has been banned, hasn't it?!" ”

"Even if it is ... I can't help but go~" Xingchen said. "That's my obligation...

"Obligation?" Wataru frowned, "What obligation?" ”

"The Great War ... Six years have passed, or have it been seven years? Xingchen muttered,

"You're talking about land and sea battles?" Wataru asked,

"Sort of... The war on land and sea a few years ago... I used the power of the Cracked Sky Seat to quell the rampage between Guradon and the Sea Emperor's Tooth, and was worshiped as a savior by the people of Fangyuan... Xingchen stood up, "But they don't know the whole process of that great war. ”

“?”

"Due to the Void Splitting Seat battle that the Imperial Envoy did not fully control, I was unable to control the tyrannical power that the two Ultra Ancient Divine Beasts had unleashed. After I defeated them, the out-of-control force went beyond the boundaries of the Three Pillars and fell elsewhere... Xingchen closed his eyes, as if remembering something, "I can't forget everything that happened that day"

"That place ... Someone? He had already noticed the unusual past.

“。。。 That's right... A perfect family ... Couple travelling with a sister... "The stars closed their eyes and said so." Almost lost his life under that force."

"That's the power of Guraton and the Sea Emperor's Tooth, and it has nothing to do with you... Wataru comforted,

"It's related ... Now I'm a trainer for Guraton and Neptune's Tooth... What they do, and what I do ... Isn't it the same? Xingchen asked rhetorically, "Such a me... What reason is there to refuse her request? ”

"What do you mean!?" Wataru was shocked, "You mean that Ruri is!?" ”

"Sunshine ... Rainstorm... Do I still need to confirm the source of those two forces? Xingchen said lightly, "I'm not a savior... Just a trainer who bears the fault and responsibility of holding elves... It's our duty ... ”

"The couple you just talked about?" Wataru asked softly.

"Just a rough idea of what to do next... When I recovered and inquired about the news, I realized that the mother had been... Xingchen closed his eyes, "As for the identity of that father, he was originally a candidate for the next chairman of the Joto Alliance... But now ... ”

“Satan?!” Wataru took a deep breath and said.

"Yes..." Xingchen turned around, "SAMALE's current situation can be said to be caused by me... So~"

"I see," Wataru raised his hand, "I'm more concerned about Satan's identity right now, did you mention that he is one of the next candidates for the chairman of Johto?"

"That's right... This is just recently inquired by someone, one of the three disciples that the strongest trainer of the Royal Academy is proud of... The previous president of the branch of the combat department, the night disciple Lingmo! ”

"Royal Academy... Is it? Recalling the boy's confession, Wataru picked up the information Ken had left behind and read it carefully.

After a long time, the back of Du's hand was bruised, "Is that really the case, Xingchen, you have found something amazing... ”

In the afternoon, in the meeting hall of the City-to-City Alliance,

Chairman Chongyu sat on the ground and placed a series of tea sets and so on with a serious expression.

"Tu ~ Tu", the knock on the door sounded,

"Come in," Chongyu said, as he kept moving.

The door slammed, then closed. Wataru in a red cloak walked in,

"Disturb your tea time... I'm really sorry," Watami Shigeyu said apologetically as he was busy with a tea set.

"It's nothing, since I became the chairman, I didn't expect to be able to make tea leisurely", Chongyu freed his hand and prepared a portion for Wataru, "What, is there anything to do with me?" ”

"Well... There is indeed something I want to confirm," Watari lifted the small cup handed over by Chongyu and took a sip.

"Oh?" , Chongyu raised his eyebrows, and then put on a posture of listening to his ears,

"I remember... You used to be a member of the Royal Academy," Wataru put down his glass and said seriously, "Have you ever heard of it... The name of the Night Disciple Spirit. ”

"Well... It seems that there is such a person," Chongyu said in deep thought, "... But after such a long time, I don't remember it very clearly... ”

"Whew~ is it" Wataru said with a little disappointment,

"Ask me about the past, it's still so sudden, how can I give a satisfactory answer" Chongyu said as he blew on the cup to dispel the heat.

"Perhaps," Du muttered, and a fast dragon suddenly appeared behind him, and a yellow fist shadow slammed into the defenseless Chongyu,

"Hiss", the agile hook claw met the fist of the fast dragon, and Chongyu, who was sitting quietly behind Ma Tula, still maintained his composure, "What do you mean by this... Watar, the joke was too much, right? ”

"Jokes?" Wataru Shen, who was standing behind Kuailong, whispered, "I wish it was a joke... ”

Taking out a pile of materials from his waist, Wataru threw it in the direction of Chongyu, and scattered papers scattered throughout the room,

"One of the three best trainers in the Royal Academy in the past, you actually said that you didn't know each other, who the hell is joking! Former President of the Academic Faculty Branch - Shigewoo Takayama! ”

"Oh~ Have you even investigated this?" Chongyu didn't seem to be surprised, and still had a formulaic expression.

"In just six or seven years, an obscure organization has grown to the point of competing with the Johto Alliance... Even the seniors of the Royal Academy are too far-fetched... So, the only explanation is - there are moles in the alliance... ”

Du Han said, "Using the advantages of the alliance to suppress other forces, but leaving the only SAMALE alone and giving it funding when needed, am I right!" ”

"This disappoints me so much," Chongyu's gaze swept over the paper on the ground, "Did you put a traitor's hat on me just for that?" ”

"If there's anything you want to explain, please come with me to the superintendent's headquarters," Wataru said slowly, "Chairman! ”

"Woo~", mixed with the thunder light fist rushed towards Ma Ura and Chongyu, and the fast dragon used the thunderbolt fist of maximum power after getting the order of Wataru,

"Boom~", with a violent sound, the fast dragon that should have been indomitable stopped abruptly, and curled up in pain.

"Swift Dragon!" Wataru exclaimed, and before he could check the elf's injury, he was caught by an arm around his neck and nailed to the wall.

"You~coughcough~ Sure enough" hung his head laboriously, and what Wataru saw was an extremely familiar face, which was an extremely respected director of the entire Joto Alliance... Hyoyama Chongyu. This previously humble man is now using his slender arm to handle documents, completely clamping himself to the wall.

"Crossing... You've made a lot of mistakes," Chongyu sighed and said disappointedly. The strength in his hand became bigger and bigger, "First of all, I didn't give Lingmo any special help... In the case of suppression, I have taken a consistent stance against any force in the Johworth area...

But perhaps you are right, not to suppress SAMALE, but to adopt the attitude of the same colleagues, perhaps it is already unfair to other extinct forces... After all, as an opponent, Lingmo's kid is not in the same dimension as them... ”

"Cough~" gradually felt the lack of oxygen, and listened reluctantly. He wanted to know what was going on!

"Bang~" The once invincible fast dragon was a lot sluggish at this time, and he was suppressed by a series of fast attacks from Ma Rana before he had time to exert his strength. Under the frost-covered sharp claws, the fast dragon could only temporarily take a defensive approach, but it was precisely because of this that Du learned the reason for the fast dragon's loss of strength, and saw that the strong body of the fast dragon was covered with dots of frost.

"Yes. All of the dragons. Joint.. Cough.. Did you use Crushed Ice Blow? Du said with difficulty,

"Ah~, that's right, Du, you rely too much on the dragon elves... Chongyu said softly, "Although the dragon is the pet of the legendary god, it has incomparable potential and power... But it's not without weaknesses, is it? ”

"Twist~", a powerful and heavy freezing fist knocked the fast dragon back again, and Ma Tula took a deep breath and released a strong snowflake, a blizzard!

The cold air of the cold winter completely froze the part below the waist of the fast dragon, and Ma Rana grinned and raised her sharp claws again.

"One last error... Chongyu's eyes froze, "You shouldn't have come to me alone... If it's an official battle, I'm really not sure of a complete victory, after all, you're also the champion of Johto... But if it's an irregular battle, the trainers who come out of the Royal Academy won't lose to anyone... After all, compared to the half-baked cultivation method of the Alliance, the Royal Academy is the real elite cultivation group! ”
