"Quite speculative talking this day?" Although he watched Andor walk back with a dejected expression, the tooth finch couldn't help but sneer. "Still stupid? Don't you know if you've been slammed? The Tooth Sparrow scrutinized Amdo's expression, not sure he was amusing himself. Or did you really find something? "Don't look! Didn't you see that the black girl noticed that something was wrong? "What brunette? What's wrong? The tooth finch pretended not to care, turning its head to look around. Didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

"It's not that the signs are wrong here! It's the place we're going. Andor patted the toothed sparrow, which was still looking around. Where do you see the old man? The tooth finch knew that the old man that Andor said in such a tone must be Yuki. However, she had been looking for a long time, and neither on the gatehouse nor in the square below the gatehouse had seen the shadow of the old man. He's a big fun-loving person, so there's no reason why he shouldn't come here. "I've been looking at it for a long time, but I haven't found it."

"Where's Nada?" "He's been at that intersection just now." The tooth finch pointed to the path they had come from not far away. "You go over and don't ask anything. See what Lao Na will say. Remember not to be heard by others. "What are you doing? So mysterious! Won't you go over? "I'm inconvenient. I'm waiting for you here. Be sure to remember what he said! Amdo whispered. His cautious appearance made the spirit of the tooth finch nervous.

"Girl, here!" The tooth finch hadn't gotten to Nada's side yet. Nada saw her in the distance and cried out. "Master Nada." "Where's Amdor?" Nada looked anxious. "He asked me to come over and ask if you have anything to tell us?" "Oh,......" Nada paused for a moment. You come here. Nadar pulled the tooth finch to a secluded place.

"There are some things that Yuki asked me to explain to that kid. Can you remember? Nada glanced at the tooth sparrow uneasily. The tooth finch nodded. She saw Nada's face, which had always been expressionless, and it was all anxious and worried at the moment.

"Old man Ariki discovered a terrible thing in the tactics room two days ago. When he went to discuss with Old Man Mai, he was detained by the old guy. So let me pass on a message to you, and you must remember what is said below! "Rest assured!" "Don't go into the valley after entering the mountains! Don't go near all the valleys and rivers! Be sure to walk on the ridge and don't be afraid of trouble! "Why? It's going to be a lot more walking! And how do we find water? The tooth finch felt that this was simply deliberately looking for trouble.

"How do I know why, the old man didn't say! I just tell you not to go near a place like a canyon. "Then we'd better not go into the mountains!" Look at how much I carry on my back. The tooth finch gestured to the backpack that had been on the ground as he spoke. yes. The old man also said that you had better not go into the mountains. But looking at Old Man Mai like that, I'm afraid you can't stay. By the way, I remembered something. More than 30 years ago, when Yuki came back from the first time in the mountains, he seemed to have mentioned something. ”

"What did he say?" The tooth finch was nervous. "Don't you rush me?" Nada's hand kept rubbing his forehead. "He seems to have said that their team was able to come back because they had walked all the way back along the mountain beams. That's pretty much it! "Is there anything strange in the mountains?" The tooth finch frowned. "The mountain trails have always been quirky. But I listen to the old man, at a special time. There will be a lot of weirdness, and there will be an endless stream of terrible things. Take care! By the way, when entering the mountain, it is best to rush to the front. I almost forgot about it. Nada shook her head and left.

"Do you have to walk on the ridge and not into the valley? Did you hear it right? Andor stared at the tooth finch with wide eyes. In such a little time, I haven't misremembered these words! The tooth finch rolled her eyes angrily. This is a fart instruction with no beginning and no end! Andor pounded his backpack under his ass in exasperation. Master Nada also has a saying. He said he was ...... back then. "Wait, I seem to be a little impressed." Andor remembered something and immediately froze. One hand was raised in front of his chest and he didn't move for a long time. I don't know what came to mind, Andor's mouth kept muttering, "This is too dangerous...... No, it's not a good idea to walk in the mountains......"

"What are you doing?" Sitting on the sidelines and watching for a long time, the tooth sparrow, who didn't understand anything, couldn't help it. "If you go to a place where you could die, will you still go?" Amdo came back to his senses, and his face became extremely depressed for a while. His eyes, consciously or unconsciously, are always avoiding the tooth finch. "How do you ask such? There are so many possible things! You may choke to death when you eat, do you not eat it? The tooth sparrow replied casually. Andor looked at the tooth finch in a daze for a long time, and it was not until the tooth finch was on fire that he turned his face to the side. "I hope you don't regret it!" Amdo muttered.

Although I hated it very much, the old man made him see those picture books. But when he knew that these things might save his life, Amdo's attitude was completely different. He even wanted to be able to tell the difference between a terrastonian and a reptilian at a glance. I looked through and compared the notebooks stored in the tactics room and the notes and booklets left by my predecessors to introduce the foreign body style in two nights. He found out the difference between the almost identical painting of the earth-walking beast and the reptilian dragon in the "Illustrated Book of Alien Beasts" that Yuki assigned him to memorize. The juvenile Terranstron and the Pterodactyl are barely noticeable from the outside. It's just that an adult pterosaur will grow fleshy membrane wings and have the ability to glide short distances.

As he flipped through the extra notes, Andor was puzzled by something very peculiar. These people who went into the mountains in different eras, the things they encountered seemed to be completely different things. The same is a description of the most common Groundwalkers. Some would say that it has a docile temperament and will not actively attack humans at all. This statement makes up most of the notes presented. But there are a small number of people who describe the earth-walking beasts they have encountered. Temperamental, they will go after the aliens that enter their field of vision.

And there are not one or two people who hold this view. This confused Amdor. This forced Amdo to wonder if there were two subclasses of Earthwalking Beasts that had the same appearance but were actually completely different in temperament. And there is not only one species with this contradictory expression. Amdo always felt a thought hovering in front of his eyes. But no matter what I think, I just can't catch it.

"Don't think about it! Old man Mai has come out, and the ceremony is about to begin! The Tooth Sparrow stared at Andor for a long time, not moving a single move. looked like he was meditating, which made the tooth finch feel a pain in his heart for no reason. "What the hell is he doing?" Amdo didn't care at all. As for the old fox, Andor had completely given up paying attention to him. It wasn't just an existence that Amdo couldn't deal with. And in him, Andor couldn't find anything to take advantage of. To pay attention to him is to completely waste your time. But the tooth sparrow seems to be in a fight with Amdor. Didn't care at all about Amdo's thoughts. dragged him to the front.

The walls of the city have been decorated with lanterns by all the things of the losers. These sycophants don't know how they got the right to use the Black Gate Library, and they desperately use the materials stored in it. It doesn't matter what happens when these things run out? Is it any use to be dressed like this in broad daylight? Amdo raised his eyes and saw the smiling Lesu standing not far from Mai Ziluo on the gatehouse.

At this time, Amdo felt that the face was very hateful. Because of this, he didn't notice the other two guys next to him, and his eyes were full of hatred. Mai Ziluo finally stepped up to the chair in the greeting of He Gu Mingyi and the group of instructors of Daimyo Kongyan. On a pitch-black table, there are two pots of bright red flowers. Mai Ziluo stood in the middle of two pots of flowers. There was a smile hidden in the wrinkled folds of his face. But Andor didn't see the slightest hint of joy in his smile. His face seemed to be covered with countless masks, and it was impossible to tell which expression was his original intention.

"I'm so happy!" As soon as Old Man Mai spoke, the humming whispers under the gatehouse fell silent. Although for a year, this old man rarely appeared in front of everyone. But the 'legends' about him have long mutated into countless versions. Each version allows Andor to verify this and turn it into a burlesque. The old man couldn't stop laughing. Although Amdo didn't find it funny at all. Isn't it just a 'myth' after a little exaggeration and deduction? Although with the help of Youxi, Andor's understanding of Old Man Mai has long been enough. But the demeanor of this old man in front of everyone still made Andor admire it very much. This kind of kung fu of opening his eyes and talking nonsense is something that a little old man like Youxi can't learn in two lifetimes.

"I'm so happy to be here with you all today under this sunny day! You are all selected talents from the College, and you are responsible for the future and hope of the College. This time I went into the mountain for a ......" "The literary style is not bad!" Amdo was so bored that he listened to the old man's speech while whispering to himself. The performances of encouragement and incitement are on point. "What are you muttering?" Andor didn't notice that the Tooth Sparrow was staring at his every move.

"Oh, appreciate the old man's speech!" Amdo replied with a serious attitude. "How can we run to the front in a while?" The tooth finch is not in the mood to listen to this kind of nonsense. She has always been suspicious and hostile to what she says. "The gates open in a moment, and you throw this out. Is it guaranteed to be thrown in front of the crowd? "Andor didn't really care about it. The tooth finch beats its eyes to measure its distance from the crowd in the front row. After looking at it for a while, he nodded with confidence. "Before throwing it out, pop this peg up." Andor threw the tooth finch a round, black thing.

Old Man Mai's speech and the speeches of the instructors of each school, except for Old Man Xi and Nada, finally came to an end. The representatives of each school hall who ascended to the gatehouse in turn also made impassioned and generous speeches. He swore to bring the best things in the mountains to the Academy. So the gates of the city were opened in the anticipation of everyone and the impatience of the tooth sparrow.

Old man Mai just shouted, 'Go!' And the flow of people poured out. As soon as Andor's feet stepped out of the city gate, he motioned for the tooth sparrow to strike. The tooth finch looked at the surging crowd with some worry, and a group of people ran in every direction. She didn't know which way to throw it. "Right ahead!" Andor reminded irresponsibly and casually. So the crowd in front of the gate didn't understand what was flying over their heads. They were frightened by a sudden roar and fled. Andor pulled a handful of toothed sparrows and swirled against the current.

"It's going to kill a lot of people!" Yuki's face was horribly gloomy. A roar roared in Mai Ziluo's ear. The other instructors turned their heads outside, and even Nada wanted to easily get involved in such an argument. "Sooner or later, people always have to die." Mai Ziluo's tone was low, and he looked at the students who were rushing out below. There was a faint sadness in his eyes. "Then why don't you die now?" Ariki shouted a little meanly. "If it's useless for me to die, why don't I die now?" Mai Ziluo replied unconcernedly.

"They don't understand anything, and you can't bear to watch them die like this?" Youxi was very impatient with Mai Ziluo's indifferent style. "This kind of thing is always understood between life and death. Don't you know? Or do you have gray hair and an idiot in your brain? Mai Ziluo finally couldn't resist reacting to Yuki's aggressive attack.

"You're an idiot!" Yuki replied with a huff. "It was like this thirty years ago, and it didn't work out then. Do you think that your plan has a chance to succeed if you change the time? "It's not a matter of time, it's a matter of people." Mai Ziluo replied seriously. It seems that there is no sarcasm hidden in Yuxi's words. "What do you mean?" Youxi heard the meaning of Old Man Mai's words.

"I don't mean anything. Just tell me...... by the way, don't you think that student of yours seems to be a little more fun than you? Mai Ziluo seemed to have suddenly discovered something, and asked Yuki seriously. Hum! It's still far from it! The mouth was unceremoniously disparaged, and it seemed to be a little contradictory to the gleaming in Yuki's eyes.

"That's not how I see it. I think he's better than you in the first place. "Isn't that interesting? It would have been more straightforward to say that I was stupid. There was a hint of contempt in Youxi's eyes when he looked at Old Man Mai. There are places where you really aren't very smart. Mai Ziluo stared at Yuki and gave him a serious look, and replied slowly. Well, then you still beg me to lead people into the mountains in vain? Youxi glanced at Old Man Mai with disdain. So what I'm saying is that there are some places where you're really not very smart. Or if you want to hear it, you can say yes: it's stupid! Mai Ziluo's nose fluttered rapidly.

"You're not stupid to put those guys in the mountains like this!" Yuki was finally enraged by Mai Ziluo. He was always in such conversations, easily angered by Old Man Mai. "Were you better than them when you first entered the mountain?" Mai Ziluo was also a little angry. "So we didn't even die in a single percent!" Ariki shouted loudly. This incident is almost a lifelong pain for him. There's never a day like that. "So what? So shouldn't they go into the mountains like they used to? Mai Ziluo asked quickly.

"At the very least, you should be well prepared." I don't know why, Youxi's momentum weakened in Mai Ziluo's question. His expression was full of hesitation. "Do you think I don't want to be more prepared? But what do I prepare? You tell me, what am I going to prepare? Mai Ziluo asked loudly. You don't know what's going on in the mountains? Still don't know where we are now? ”

"But you shouldn't just take your life to fill it!" Yuki let out a long sigh, the corners of his eyes bloodshot. The mournful look made Mai Ziluo's heart tremble. "I don't think it will be this time, right?" Mai Ziluo's tone was so distorted that he couldn't believe the judgment he had made. "Probably not? Haha...... the last time I heard it was 'We're going to win!' Yuki shrieked sadly. We were young then. Mai Ziluo's face suddenly turned red. Although it faded quickly, Yuki still saw it. "So you really thought we would win?" He looked at Mai Ziluo earnestly.

"Of course. Otherwise, what do you think ......" Mai Ziluo thought of something, and his face suddenly became ugly. "I thought that when I was in the mountains." Youxi nodded, making sure what Mai Ziluo was thinking. "No wonder!" Mai Ziluo sighed. "That battle almost killed our academy, and the talents who had been prepared for more than ten years. I was the only one who made the dean unscathed......" His eyes fluttered a little erratically over the bodies of those around him. "Otherwise, it wouldn't have fallen into the realm of relying on secular power to restore the vitality of the academy."

"Aren't you really what I thought you were going to prepare?" Yuki still couldn't help asking. This question has been hidden in his heart for decades, and he doesn't want it to stay in his heart for a moment. "Then do you think that my suicide at that time was also a show for you?" Mai Ziluo forced a few laughs and glanced at Youxi. "I don't want to lie to you. "Yuki blushed in a rare way." Well, too. You can't let yourself die like that, so you must be very prepared. There was a bit of loss on Mai Ziluo's face. In your eyes, am I the one who cares so much about this position? Mai Ziluo shook his head slightly.

"At least that's what we thought at the time. And so you did. Yuki seemed to have figured out something, and replied in a solemn tone. This position is not something that everyone wants to do! It's not all that can be done well. There are some things that I don't want to do, but they have to be done. Mai Ziluo muttered in a low voice.

"This must be the case today?" Yuki's face returned to a somewhat playful look. "No matter what you think, that's the way it is." Mai Ziluo also became serious. "But you've been in the War Room all these years, and you've seen a lot of things. You tell me what to do if it's not good? "At least ......," said Nozomi who said that at least Nozomi found that the reasons he could say seemed to disappear all at once. When I think back to the situation I encountered, it seems that no amount of preparation was enough to deal with that situation. Maybe resigned to fate is better prepared. Although he was extremely reluctant to give birth to such thoughts.

"At least what?" Mai Ziluo asked. "You can't figure out what to do, do you? So why not let them do it on their own and prepare for it themselves? I haven't seen too much of the others, but those girls are no worse than when you were younger. Not only in terms of skill but strategy, they are also better than us back then. I especially can't see through that kid. Mai Ziluo shook his head, as if trying to get the thought out of his head. Let's go. I'm giving you a look at some of the things that have been newly sorted out these days. Mai Ziluo hugged Yuki and urged him to walk forward.
