The clock struck twelve o'clock on the fourteenth day of the seventh month of the old calendar, and the early morning of the fifteenth day of the seventh month arrived. Now it can be defined as the night of the Midyear Festival, the time when the hundred ghosts walk at night, and the time when the ghost door is wide open. On this night, many people will not be able to sleep because of fear.

For example, a wanderer who is worried about a night accident during the trip, such as a soldier who has to strengthen his night patrol during the Midyear Festival because he is carrying the burden of protecting the safety of a certain place. Among the Imperial Cities, the Knights and Praetorian Guards belonged to the latter, and on the last day of the Imperial City Auction, they had to take turns standing guard until tomorrow.

As the respective leaders of the two teams, the Tyrannosaurus and the Tiger Shark naturally wanted to be the first to sleep for a short time on this night. They also had to guard the imperial city in the morning for the last "Tongtian Auction", so they could only keep vigil in the first half of the night, and they had to go to ensure sleep in the second half of the night.

The two of them are on the top floor of the Tower of Thorns, and they have to guard the treasure in the dungeon in the tower, which is the only auction item in the Midyear Festival auction, the demon fox Inari. Originally, there were many slaves in the tower, and they were all auction items, but unfortunately the auction was cancelled in the end. Those slaves were sent to other markets in the no-man's land, and if the imperial city did not make this money, it would be very loss-making.

It's boring to be on the top floor of the Tower of Thorns, which has been shattered in a heavenly punishment, and even the ceiling has not been built. The two big men, the Tyrannosaurus and the Tiger Shark, sat side by side, looking up at the sky. There are microseconds in the atmosphere where you can reverie the indescribable.

"Don't you think it's strange that this night was a little too quiet." Baron said. He is very vigilant, in every minute and every moment of the Midyear Festival, people in the no-man's land should be consciously vigilant, to prevent a ghost door from opening around him, and running away in time.

Of course, the tyrannosaurus couldn't run, he stayed where he was, and no ghost dared to provoke him. But when the ghost door is opened, his movements must also be sharp, he doesn't have to run away, but it doesn't mean that others won't run away. He is a warrior of the Imperial City, and he has the obligation to protect every plant and tree in the Imperial City. That's what the words say.

Therefore, the Tyrannosaurus must beware of the occurrence of ghosts hurting people.

"Isn't it good to be quiet? The Imperial City has encountered so many things this week, and everything has been so exhausting. Luo Lan didn't have any enthusiasm, maybe it was the night that made people's bodies relax, and even the knights felt a little tired.

"But, tonight is a good time for the ghost door to be opened, but why is there nothing?" Baron said. It is indeed strange that whenever there is an unusual calm in the time when something should have happened, it always makes the cautious person think of words like "calm before the storm".

The calmer you are, the more vigilant you should be, and this may have become common sense. At least that's common sense for the Tyrannosaurs.

Luo Lan handed Baron a cigarette and motioned for him to smoke a cigarette to calm down. But Baron refused, shaking his hand and pointing to his mask.

Luo Lan could only smoke by herself, although she didn't know what secrets were hidden under the mask of the dragon, but the dragon had always been reluctant to show his true face, and he must have his own reasons. Luo Lan can't interfere with the secrets of the tyrannosaurus, just as others can't interfere with his secrets. Everyone has their own scales, and if they touch it, they will die.

The firelight flickered in the darkness for a moment, and then only a star remained.

"What seems normal to the outside world is so abnormal in no man's land. They don't know that there are ghosts in the world, so many things are just legends for them. Children may be scared by fantasy ghosts, but they will grow up safely. Adults will write and draw some pictures because of fantasy ghosts, and in short, everything is peaceful. ”

Luo Lan began to sketch a world outside no man's land, and he danced with his hands, trying to describe every image in his mind in detail, so that the only audience, Tyranny, could understand his mood at this moment.

Tyrannosaurus laughed, he should have laughed, Luo Lan heard him laugh out loud.

Baron asked Luo Lan: "Do you yearn for the outside world?" Longing for the world outside the no-man's land, although peaceful, there are no ghosts, and there is no danger to life. But on the other hand, in that false world, there is a lot less truth. There's no knighthood out there, and if you go out, you'll have to start all over again. ”

"Knight? If this is put on the outside, is it considered a profession? It is a belief that knights do not rely on knights to make money. Actually, I've always had some trouble with this term. ”

"No, you're a great knight, and although we have the same status in the army, you're beyond all else in terms of honor. You should be the spokesperson of the knight, what you say, whatever you are, everyone will take you as the standard. ”

"I'm in my forties now, and you're only in your twenties, you still have a long way to go, and sooner or later you'll be even better than me. Besides, I can't talk to myself in the mirror and tell myself that you're right, you're right, how narcissistic. People always make mistakes, and it is not glory that judges knights, but enlightenment. Suddenly my consciousness was not enough, and I was stuck in a quagmire. ”

"Can I hear that? Listen to the consciousness of my predecessors, although I am not a knight, I will not become a great knight in the future. ”

The territory of the King's Nest, the Forest of Life.

A young girl sat on the altar of the Forest of Life with a cat in her arms, which was the highest place in the Forest of Life in the canopy of the tree. The altar was a sacred place to worship the gods of the ancestors, and it was supposed to be a forbidden place for the king's nest, and no unrelated people were allowed to desecrate it, but the girl and the cat sat there without anyone disturbing them.

It's strange that they are uninvited guests who trespass on the forbidden land, but no one disturbs their mood to see the scenery. Although the Demon King is running around outside for the Eight Deceitful Gods, there are at least a few elders who are guarding the house, such as "The Axe of the King's Nest", "The Wings of the King's Nest", and "The Heart of the King's Nest".

There should always be someone who can spot girls and cats.

No one knows why this happens, but it's okay, at least so that the girl and the cat can argue in peace.

"Xiao Qi, it's time for us to leave. What else do you expect from him? Haven't you seen the true nature of this man yet? He saved the eldest prince of the king's nest, he saved Khwaja Buckley, he saved the enemy who killed your sister—and you still miss him? The cat said.

"He'll have his reasons, and he's reassuring." The girl is like a newlywed wife waiting for her husband to return home, and the anticipation in her eyes is that of starlight in the sky that cannot be compared.

"That's because you've been deceived by his rhetoric, you're like that, and so is your sister! What did our cat demon clan provoke him, or did we have any grievances accumulated in the previous life, and we will die because of him under reincarnation! The cat was very angry, and the moon light that she had just absorbed on the altar actually gushed out in reverse direction and left its body because of the anger of the fried fur.

The girl smoothed the cat's fur and told it not to get excited.

"Jinhua, I wish I had a love debt with him in my last life. So in this life, he chose his sister, and I don't have too many regrets. I just hope to have a lifetime of marriage with him, and it will be good for a lifetime. "The girl made an impossible wish.

"Do you want to die like your sister because of him?" The cat asked.

"I hope, no matter what, even if I die, that he will remember me and keep me to heart for the rest of his life—just as he did with his sister." The girl said.

"You're going to be disappointed in him."

This is the end of the dispute between Jinhua Cat and Yimuqi, and before Xiao actually comes out of Barkley's treehouse, the more comfortable thing they can do is to watch the galaxy wait comfortably.

The golden city, the ice falls on the heart, and the snow is flying all over the sky.
