When Julius and Rei wake up, they find that they are no longer in the place called the Treasury that is actually a garbage dump. They were lying on the ground where they could see the sky, and they were still close to the sea. There was no one else here except the two of them, only the sound of the sea breeze.

When the two of them opened their eyes, all they saw was a blue sky. A faint blue light enveloped the entire sky, and the shining stars turned into blue starlight, shining in their eyes.

"Why are we here......" Julius touched his forehead, feeling a little drowsy in his brain and a little painful, because the scenery he saw when he opened his eyes was so different, he felt like he was having a dream, this dream was about underground adventures, treasures, and battles.

But after seeing the scars on Rei's face, which had been covered in glowing moss, he didn't think it was really just a dream. "What happened, I remember a blue light in front of me, and then I didn't know anything. Rei looked at her surroundings and exclaimed, "Why are we back on the ground, and we don't seem to have anything of value!"

Rei seemed to care more about other things than why she was here, such as whether there was anything to be gained from this trip - at least two of the black robes had been looted by them.

"Someone brought us in. Julius helped Lei up, "The wound on your face doesn't hurt, does it?"

"Whether it will hurt or not, you will know when you wash your face. Rei said, then she looked to the beach, "Of course, it won't be seawater to wash your face...... The scar was ugly, and I didn't want to be a monster. ”

It's really not a good idea to wash your face with sea water, especially nowadays.

The sea at night was supposed to be black, but on this night, the water was not pitch black, but blue. The blue sky was reflected in the sea, turning the sea into a glowing blue ocean, and even the faces of Julius and Rei were illuminated blue.

"What the hell is going on...... Julius noticed that it wasn't just the strait in front of him that became like this, but the lighthouse in the distance, the town on the other side, and the blue fire looming in the distance behind him, making the King's Castle completely different.

"I don't know, it looks like it's just been a day, but this place feels like it's another world. Lei looked at the blue starry sky in the sky, her pupils were dilating, and she turned into a snake's eye again. This time her snake eyes were no longer golden, but were dyed blue by the canopy, and her eyes seemed to contain a small starry sky, and the starlight flickered in them. "It's a beautiful night like this. ”

Julius noticed that Lei's eyes had changed again, but he didn't tell Lei, and since Lulunaka wouldn't let him say it, he better be honest - Lulunaka probably didn't have any bad intentions about this kind of thing, he thought so, at least he wanted to believe it.

"What a strange sky. Rei said, then turned his back to the sea and walked towards the city, "But if it's a treasure, it doesn't seem to look bad, at least it's much more beautiful than the rags." ”

Julius also looked up at the blue starry sky, which, as Rei said, was strange but beautiful. He followed her and left the place, "beautiful...... But it's also weird. Something was tumbling inside him, as if it was about to break away from his body and be sucked away by the blue starry sky. The discomfort is there, but it's not too intense. And he didn't think the city would be indifferent to such an anomaly - he could imagine the riot that would have been caused by the fire that belonged to the city turning blue, unless the people of the city could even turn a blind eye to such a change.

Far from the King's Castle to the north, on the western shore of the Sea of Darkness, to the east of the Forest of the Dead, the sky there was no different from that of the King's Castle, and even more so tonight. In the Chapel of the Cape, that blue sky has spread here, enveloping both the forest and the sea in its own light.

On the seashore away from the chapel, Awa sat on the beach, silently watching the starry sky turn blue. Olga was unwell and had rested, and Romeoona had been by his side to take care of him, and was probably still waiting by his side. Under this starry sky, Awa is the only one who enjoys this strange beauty.

Perhaps, he is not alone.

Po looked up at the starry sky, and after a long time stood up, and turned back to look at the familiar and unfamiliar visitor. It was a woman, her body in the dark, and her face could not be seen. Her complexion was already black, which made it harder for her to spot in the night, even though her body was covered in a layer of blue light.

"Long time no see, Apo. The woman said to Po, "You are old. ”

"You haven't changed at all. Should I call you Blackwater Ride, or ......"

"Blackie, that's enough. The woman who came to Apo's face, Blackwater Rider, said.

Apo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "That's the nickname she gave you, that's something very important." ”

Po had no intention of approaching her, just standing still. "When I get old, you're still so young...... This is the gap between the longevity species and mortals. ”

"Don't forget that I only have half of the elven blood in my body. Blackwater said to Po, "I'm half like you. ”

"We're different. Apo sat down on a stone beside him, the bottom of which had been eroded by the tide, and the bottom had become smooth and flat, "You are strong, I am just a coward." ”

The two were silent for a long time before the Blackwater rider spoke first: "Dana is dead. ”

"Yes. "She spent her last days with Dana." The only one he was talking about was Luluna, and Blackwater understood it.

"She's relieved, what about you?"

"I don't know if someone like me can live with peace of mind. ”

The Blackwater Rider looked up at the blue starry sky, "Teacher, she took the Infinity Rubik's Cube...... It was meant to be a gift to the Emperor, but if she didn't want to, no one seemed to be able to take anything from her. ”

"To which emperor?"

"You should understand, Apo. Blackwater continued, his voice turning cold, "Emperor of the Crescent Moon. ”

What it means to give something that belongs to the underground of the King's Castle to the emperor of another country, Awa understands. But the Blackwater Ride was gone, just as she had come, coming and going without a trace. It was just her incarnation, and it was a simple thing for her to disappear, which made it impossible for Po to ask her what she meant.

Apo closed his eyes. He understood what this former friend meant, when the King's Castle also belonged to the Emperor of the Crescent Moon, then there was no need to guess too much about who everything in the King's Castle belonged to. In the night, his body was even more rickety, like a dying man crushed by a heavy object.

Early in the morning of the second day, Apo said something to Romeona that she could not have predicted.

"Go south, go back to your hometown, take in everything along the way, and find her...... Find Lulunaka. Apo said to Romeo, who looked stunned.
