The Beginning of the Volume: The Mountain Rain is Coming, the Wind is Full of Buildings, Chapter 34: The Convention and the Bonds (2)
"Here it is...... Phillip Island!" Yichen looked at the location of his mobile phone, his face stunned.
"It seems you've seen the news about Kowloon absorbing water and the tricolor skylight, yes, this is Phillip Island. On the day you arrived in Australia, the Hall of the Wind King appeared, and it was here. Michael didn't sell it, he felt that it was time for these two guys to know the cruelty of reality and the cruelty of the palace
"Wind King Palace!" Yichen was startled.
He subconsciously looked at Mo Kaize again and slowly gave a thumbs up. He felt that he needed to pay attention to every word of Mo Kaize in the future, this guy was too accurate!
"Qingguang is the handiwork of the Wind King Palace?" Mo Kaize asked.
Seeing Michael nodding, Yi Chen blurted out a series of questions: "Silver light is a thunder and lightning element, and the Thunder and Lightning King Palace is also there, right? What is the yellow light? Is there black light?"
"What is it? Can you hope for something? The Thunderbolt King's Hall is still suppressed by the Thunderbolt Sword! Silver light and yellow light are not elementals! There is no black light!" Michael said angrily, "The silver light and yellow light are emitted by the heliographer and the stator, which are high-tech devices developed by the Mass Gate, and have the effect of suppressing the water element and the wind element respectively. ”
"It's me...... Think too much. Yichen scratched his head in embarrassment.
If you think about it, if the Sword of Thunder had chosen its master, there would have been no words that Adam had said to him.
But that guy is really a stinky fart, and he actually thinks that he must be the Lord of Thunder and Lightning in the future, and I don't know where his bursting self-confidence comes from.
"Then it's time for me to appreciate your expressions, and look down. Michael pointed to the windows on either side, "Don't talk, just watch quietly." ”
"Pretending to be a ghost. Yichen muttered, leaned closer to the window, and looked down at the earth, and he was completely stunned.
The vast expanse of the earth is crisscrossed by ravines, with no flowers, no trees, no animals, and it is bare and extremely desolate.
Tens of thousands of ravines of different depths tore this vast and deserted land, like a hand scratching in a general direction on the sand, destroying its flatness, more like a wound cutting the face, making it hideous and miserable.
Devastated, this is the only word Yichen can think of.
If you look closely, you can see that the coastal part below is a port, with a dilapidated breakwater, a broken wharf, a little damage to the harbor channel and the port road, and strangely no lighthouse, warehouses, buildings, or any mechanical measures in the harbor.
The helicopter landed in the harbor, got off the helicopter, and walked on the scarred ground, Yichen and Mo Kaize really felt the horror of the Wind King Palace.
The deep ravine is more than ten meters long, and the shallow one is more than one meter, and it is terrifying to be able to destroy the earth like this.
"It's ...... Wind King Hall ...... Cause?" Yichen stammered as he looked at Michael.
"Nine waterspouts containing the power of annihilation. Michael nodded, "What you see is the land that has been preliminarily groomed, and the original number of ravines has reached 200,000 in large and small ways, all over the southern part of Phillip Island. ”
"Two hundred thousand ways. Yichen muttered, and he suddenly had a feeling that his self-confidence was about to collapse if he understood it any more.
"And the waterspout landed after raging at sea, destroying eight converted warships. If the waterspout had landed directly, it would not only be the southern part of the island, but the entire Phillip Island. Michael looked at the unspoiled ground far away, where the trees were overgrown, "The reason why I have not told you this until now is because you have a certain ability to protect yourself. ”
"Since the Wind King Hall was in Australia at the time, why didn't you just find me and take the Wind Sword? This is the most important thing, with the power shown by the Wind King Palace, this is also the easiest. Mo Kaize stepped on the ground, and he could clearly feel that the surface soil was very soft.
"I don't know the exact reason, the Dark King Palace also didn't take away the Dark Sword. Michael shook his head, "Maybe you can't take it away, or maybe you don't want to take it away." ”
"Don't want to take it away?" Yichen was puzzled.
It is reasonable that Wang Dian can't take away the Dao Sword, after all, there is a sword breath in the main body of the Dao Sword that is closely related to the Dao Sword, but he doesn't want to take away the Dao Sword, this reason is too far-fetched.
While talking, the three of them walked to the beach.
Standing in front of the broken dock, blowing the cool sea breeze, Michael handed the tablet in his hand to the two of them: "It's better to be mentally prepared." ”
The tablet begins to play a video of a small port appearing in the frame, with warships moored along the dock line.
The camera pans as two warships sail across the vast sea, heading towards the harbor. Behind the warship, the light was dim, and between the dark clouds and the waves was a huge waterspout......
Half an hour later, looking at the sea, Yichen was a little sluggish, the picture in the image had happened not long ago on the ground under his feet and the sea in front of him.
Looking at the familiar scene, combined with the picture in the image, he suddenly had a sense of immersion, a shocking scene, a feeling of palpitations, and a desire to survive...... It's an illusion that's even more real than a 4D movie.
"A port of Poseidon, eight Japanese ships, three fixed-wave aircraft, more than 30,000 people, and nearly 4,000 dead! This is just the price of a war! This is just a shot by a royal palace!" Andrei said in a deep voice, "In the future, there will be countless wars waiting for you, waiting for the club! Future wars will only be more cruel, bloody, and ruthless, and there will only be more deaths!"
The calm and powerful words struck the hearts of the two people, and the deaths of nearly 4,000 people completely shocked them.
Looking at the two people who were sitting on the boulder and were silent for a long time, Michael did not make a sound to disturb.
With the silence of the three of them, only the sound of rolling waves and the howling sea breeze remained on the pier.
After a long time, looking at the clear blue sky from afar, and his fighting spirit filled his eyes, Mo Kaize slowly stood up and said softly: "Fursh, the battle of the old enemy...... Here we go. ”
.

In a modest homestay north of Phillip Island, Yichen and Mokaiser drink tea that Michael stole from Erlitz and have a new understanding of Michael's bad character.
"In fact, on the issue of the Sword Tomb, we have not gained nothing in the past few decades. We want to keep the secret of the Sword Tomb, but the palace doesn't care, so why don't the people of the world know about the existence of the Sword Tomb until now?
"yes, why?" Yichen looked up and looked at Michael curiously.
He hadn't really thought about it, and it was only after listening to Michael that he realized the importance of the problem. Why didn't Wang Dian tell the world about the existence of the Sword Tomb? If the matter of the Sword Tomb spread, it would inevitably cause panic in the society, and it would be beneficial to them and not harmful.
"This has to start from forty years ago, it was the first time the club came into contact with the Royal Palace, and it was the first time that the three Royal Palaces were in contact with each other!" Michael put down his teacup, "The previous Dao Sword Lord and the Royal Palace had a fierce confrontation, and seeing that things were about to develop to an uncontrollable point, negotiation became the only feasible way. ”
"Negotiation?" Yichen was stunned, "Did the club initiate it?"
"It's the Hall of the Water King. Michael's expression became serious, "That negotiation was the first real dialogue between humans and the Royal Palace, and it was a dialogue between the Earth and the Lord of the Sword Tomb. The result of the negotiations was the signing of a verbal convention between the two sides, the Undercurrent Convention. The so-called Undercurrent Convention is a secret contest between the two sides, and all matters related to the Sword Tomb, no matter how big or small, are not allowed to be made public. ”
"Why did the royal palace initiate negotiations? Didn't they put forward any conditions?" Yichen wondered, shouldn't the royal palace want things to get bigger and bigger? Shouldn't the more uncontrollable things are, the more beneficial it is for them?
"How could it not be? Wang Dian is not a fool. Those are only the basis of the Convention and the premise on which we agreed to negotiate with them. "On that basis, each side asked for a condition from the other. Our demand is that the royal palace refrain from slaughtering the people, and that we refrain from using strategic weapons against the wormholes of living beings. ”
"You must not use strategic weapons against the living wormholes? Could there be any conspiracy in this? After all, it was Wang Dian who took the initiative to negotiate. Yichen was skeptical.
"We must also jump into the trap, otherwise the palace will appear in front of the world, at that time they have no scruples, they will inevitably slaughter the people with impunity, the society will be chaotic, and mankind will also face a real catastrophe. Michael's voice was low, "Avoiding the massacre of the people is our biggest gain at the moment, but as you said, the negotiation was initiated by the royal palace, and this is not a substantive gain." In addition, the club is very concerned about the wormhole of living creatures and has always maintained a high level of vigilance. ”
Yichen thought for a moment, and his intuition told him that there must be a plan for the royal palace to sign this verbal convention.
The bias of the Undercurrent Convention is obvious, it is impossible for the royal palace not to see it, since they can see it, why would they still agree?
"Doesn't it sound ridiculous? Such an unfair convention, the royal palace actually agreed. In fact, they know very well that we will accede to even some excessive requests. "It's not a compromise, because our goal — to suppress or even wipe out the royal palace — has not changed." And the club has long been ready for the palace to break the convention, they just have to abide by it, it doesn't matter if they don't obey, the club can start a war with them at any time!"
Michael's understatement made Yichen feel a lot more at ease, Michael's words were full of confidence, which is an affirmation and trust in the rookie, and it undoubtedly shows that the rookie has strong strength.
"How did the last Dao Sword Lord suppress the Palace?" Mo Kaize asked suddenly.
"This ...... I can't tell you yet, but you'll know when the time is right. Michael obviously didn't want to say much about the method of repression, as if the topic was very relevant or heavy.
Mo Kaize didn't ask, and his intuition told him that the fate of the previous Dao Sword Lord was not very good. His eyes were staring straight at Michael, trying to see something.
Michael remained impassive and appeared very calm. As a psychology professor, Mokaiser couldn't get any information from his face at all unless he intentionally expressed it.
