Chapter 1: Epilogue (1)
The sky was clear, and the gloomy sky became unusually bright after the typhoon disappeared, but it was still an eerie cyan color, like a blue curtain that obscured the sky and the sun, as far as the eye could see.
A street lined with high-rise buildings, large trees and shops of all sizes blown off by strong winds are soaked in water, and cars protesting with sirens have long since died down the moment the water overflows the roof, and there are broken branches and scattered items floating on the water, as well as a lot of garbage.
On the billboard more than ten meters high, a shadow fell on it, with long wet beige gray hair and a black combat uniform wet by the rain, it was Lu Xuan.
She looked up at the sky, her brow clouded with rain running down her eyes. Next to her, a fragment of the blade of the sword was stabbed on the billboard, the lightsaber shattered, and the hilt and other fragments of the blade disappeared.
"Blue sky." Lu Xuan muttered to himself.
When she was stunned, there was a roar in the distance, and a black shadow set off waves on the water several meters high, like a water beast that had found food, heading in the direction where she was.
The black jet ski stopped on the water in front of the billboard, where the girl could be clearly seen.
"I said, teacher, you really know how to choose a place. Play peek-a-boo and you are definitely the master of the masters. I don't think anyone would have been able to find you at the allotted time without positioning. Yichen laughed and teased.
"That's the attitude towards your girlfriend's savior?" Lu Xuan sat up from the billboard, a sharp pain came from all over his body, and his whole body seemed to fall apart.
The billboard was indeed chosen by her, but it was forced to choose, if she hadn't grabbed this billboard, she would have been swept to the sky by the gale, and once she was swept into the sky, no matter how strong her physical fitness was, she would be torn apart by the terrifying wind.
"I was about to ask, didn't you go to send Ai Xue to the shelter? How is it here? Yichen asked.
Lu Xuan didn't answer directly, but asked him rhetorically: "Has your girlfriend arrived at the shelter?" β
"Here we are." Yichen said that he had asked about the nearest shelter, and that Ai Xue was indeed there.
Lu Xuan nodded: "That's good, I only send people here, and the rest of the way is taken by herself." β
"Did something happen?" Yichen vaguely realized that something was wrong.
"It's not a big deal, I got into a fight with the Dark King." Lu Xuan said casually, regained some strength, waved his hand at Yichen, and motioned for him to lean forward the motorboat and turn his head again.
"Got into a fight with the Dark King." Yichen nodded and was about to do as she instructed, but then reacted and was suddenly startled, "What! You've met the Dark King! You also got into a fight with the Dark King! β
"Turn around, let me go down first." Lu Xuan said impatiently, his long wet hair clinging to his back, like a creeper crawling all over the wall.
Yichen immediately drove the motorboat forward, then turned around, exposing the butt of the motorboat, the back seat, to the falcon's field of vision that was waiting for an opportunity to hunt at a height of more than ten meters.
"Lighter, I don't want the motorboat to be catapulted, and I don't want to be bounced into the sky." Yichen clenched the handle and turned his head to look up at the girl who had already stood up from the billboard.
The falcon locked onto the target, spread its wings, dived, accelerated, the black shadow flashed from mid-air, there was no sharp sinking as expected, the butt of the motorboat only shook slightly and returned to calm, and the light weight and light movement made Lu Xuan land lightly on the back seat.
"You're not hurt, are you? I mean, did the Dark King hurt you? Yichen asked with concern.
"Nope."
After a pause, Yichen said sincerely, "Thank you." β
"Thanks for what?"
"Without you, Ai Xue wouldn't have been able to get to the shelter."
"There's no need to thank you, the Dark King's target is not her, otherwise she won't be able to get to the shelter."
"The Dark King's target is you?"
"It's not me, otherwise I wouldn't be alive now." Lu Xuan sat in the back seat, back to back with Yi Chen, "I think the Dark King happened to meet us, or we were unfortunate to meet him, he should have something important to do, this is the only explanation that your girlfriend and I can survive." β
"There is indeed something important, he is going to help the Wind King Palace, but I still want to thank you, after all, you helped me."
"Whatever you want." Lu Xuan said weakly, his whole body no longer exerted, and completely leaned on Yichen's back.
Leaving clear marks on the water, the jet ski roared out.
"The disaster is gone?"
Yichen boasted: "It's resolved, there is this God, no, this Lord of Darkness, there is this Lord of Darkness, a small typhoon can't set off any big waves, but it's a pity that the Sword of the Wind has been taken away." β
Lu Xuan ignored his first half of the nonsense: "The Sword of the Wind has been taken away?" β
"In order to save people, Mo Kaize's grandparents are in the hands of the Water King Palace. Although the Sword of Wind has been taken away, I believe in Mo Kaize, he will definitely be able to take it back. β
"And what's going on that day?"
"Someone can answer your question, but that person is definitely not me."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The two of you said one by one, and the voice gradually disappeared into the street as the motorboat faded away.
.
.
.
Aerodrome.
The vast field was full of busy cyan figures, the Zhuxing Armament was preparing to evacuate, and the enhanced Elemental Gathering Cannon and the Elemental Channeling Turret had been loaded into the huge cabin space of the large transport plane, among which the enhanced Elemental Gathering Cannon destroyed by the Wind King Hall was only a pile of wreckage.
After handing over the necessary formalities to Lu Haochuan, Andre walked to Adam and Ouyang Qi, who were dealing with various reports.
"I'm not happy with your performance! Why don't you speak? What about the big picture? Lost it! Andrei had a calm face, and he was still angry at the actions of the two of them who didn't say a word after they climbed the high ground.
In the end, they still couldn't stop the Wind King Palace, and under the protection of the Water King Palace, the Wind King Hall borrowed the [Dao Sword Dust Crown] to condense a cyan and tilian plant.
Just when they thought that the enemy would make a big move next, the two royal palaces disappeared with the Sword of the Wind and the Tylian.
The sailors composed of motorboats and hovercraft searched the entire Chongming Island, but found no trace of the two royal palaces, and the enemy really retreated.
"Director, five times." Ouyang Qi raised his five-fingered open hand and said helplessly.
"I'm going to say it a sixth, seventh! Do you have an opinion! AndrΓ© glared at her angrily.
Ouyang Qi shrunk his neck and made a gesture of "please speak": "No, no comment, you continue." β
"Verbose is the first manifestation of Alzheimer's disease, Director, you have to be careful." Adam said without raising his head.
"Adam, you're stupid, aren't you? The early manifestations of Alzheimer's disease are memory decline and judgment decline! Andre said angrily, "Lao Tzu is normal! Very normal! β
"I'm talking about the most early performance, verbose is the most important implicit criterion for memory decline, the latest academic research on the phylum, the neurological aspect." Adam handed the processed report to the staff and looked up and said, "Also, people who say they are normal are not necessarily normal people, because abnormal people say the same thing." β
"Director, it seems that you have to give yourself psychological hints at all times, and warn yourself not to be verbose, otherwise you may be in danger of abdicating." Ouyang Qi kindly reminded that there was no shortage of some joking tones.
"Shut up! Work! Andre scolded her, "Verbose can also become Alzheimer's, ghosts don't believe this kind of nonsense!" β
"This academic study has been reviewed by the International Society for Neurological Research, and the author of the report happens to be the deputy director of Vashinardo Raj who is not in line with you, and it is rare that I can remember this unique and long surname." Adam shrugged his shoulders.
"It's not that I'm not dealing with me, Erlitz doesn't deal with all the top brass except his immediate boss." Andrei frowned, "Isn't his field of expertise biology and medicine?" When did it extend to the neurological realm? β
"People are always 'versatile', you should get used to it." Adam said lightly.
"The two directors of the quality gate have brought the effect of the Ares fruit to expand the mind and broaden the brain to the extreme." Ouyang Qi sighed, "There are no combat missions, and even training is quite small, which is really an enviable life." β
Andrei said hypocritically: "Want to go to the hostage gate? All you need is a decent research report or two, and I'll help you. β
"I don't want to go, I don't want to go at all, I'm a person from the Ministry of Orders in life, and a ghost in the Department of Orders in death." Ouyang Qi hurriedly raised his hand, forcibly squeezing out a smile on his face.
Andrei snorted and returned to the topic: "Without further ado, I'll give you a chance to defend yourself and tell me the reason for your silence, I'm curious about what you thought at the time." β
"It's very simple, I'm on Mo Kaize's side, not to say it's for your own good." Adam was calm.
"Agreed." Ouyang Qi agreed.
"On Mokaize's side? Rats' eyes! Don't you understand the truth of sacrificing the small self and achieving the big self? I've been emphasizing the sense of the big picture to you, haven't I? "Andre is angry.
"I don't agree with you, the component of the greater self is the small self, and if the small self is sacrificed, the greater self will never be achieved. It is the society that maintains the world, and it is the family that maintains the society and maintains the family affection. Director, you are right, you are a person who is close to being completely rational, but this is a society where reason and emotion coexist. The embodiment of warm and cold tones is not intuitive, but complements each other. With that, Adam left, time did not allow him to argue with AndrΓ© here, and there was still a lot of work for him to do.
"Director, I'm off to work." Ouyang Qi nodded her index finger into the distance, she didn't want to bear Andre's anger alone.
"Go, go!" Andrei waved impatiently.
Ouyang Qi was like being pardoned, and the speed of his departure caused a red hair to shatter and float up, like a rising flame.
"Does society need to sustain the world? It's clearly destroying the world. What is unreasonable, bullshit doesn't make sense. Andrei clenched his fists and swung them into the air a few times, muttering to himself.
"I'm behind you, if you want to fight, you just need to turn around." A voice came from behind him, very calm.
"If you want to beat you, you will be beaten a long time ago, the teacher teaches the students, it is natural, I have nothing to take care of." Andre put down his hand, and without looking back, he knew who was standing behind him, "I want to hit myself." β
Mo Kaize stepped forward, the cyan battle armor disappeared, and he changed into a clean and ordinary clothes, and his short cyan hair also changed back to its original black.
Standing next to Andrei, he stared at the transport plane directly in front of him, and after a few seconds of silence, he said, "I'm here to apologize to you on behalf of grandpa, I'm sorry." β
"No, your grandfather doesn't know and can't know the seriousness of the matter, he just wants to save his lover, and there is nothing wrong in nature. I, on the other hand, was born like a cold-blooded animal. Andre laughed at himself, "If you only look at the problem from the perspective of ordinary people, if you replace me, you may fan it harder." β
"I'm a selfish person." Mokaiser looked at him.
"In terms of family affection." Andrei nodded.
Mo Kaize quietly looked at the busy blue figures in the distance, and he acquiesced.
"There is no lack of dedication, dare to sacrifice when necessary, in fact, you have done a very good job, after all, you were a student a few months ago, and you are completely unfamiliar with all this, it is I who are too demanding of you." Andrey told the truth.
"I handed over the Sword of the Wind." Mokaiser said.
"So you're going to take it back." Andre said, "It's not a trivial matter for the Sword of the Wind to fall into the hands of the Wind King Palace, Ming Xuan needs to be explained, and Michael and I can only help you block the temporary pressure." β
"Even if I fight for this life, I will take back the Sword of the Wind and give a satisfactory explanation to Ming Xuan." The flat tone made Mo Kaize's words even more resolute.
"I heard the blame." Andre comforted him in disguise as a teacher, "Handed over the Sword of the Wind to save people, in principle, you are not wrong, in addition, you smashed the conspiracy of the Wind King Hall and prevented the destruction of the Annihilation Typhoon, this is a great achievement, so even from the overall situation, you are also worth the merits." β
"Can the seat of Lord Michael's Tower be kept?" Mo Kaize reluctantly accepted the comfort from the teacher.
"The club relies on the Dao Sword, but by no means on the Dao Sword, Michael's decision is completely humanitarian, and there will be more support to some extent, but ......," Andre sighed, "look at his creation." β
Choosing one of the two between one life and one hundred lives, this is destined to be a multiple-choice question with no correct answer.
"How's your grandparents?" Andrei asked.
"The shock was excessive, and now the mood has calmed down, and the experts are carrying out hypnotic brainwashing." Mokaiser said.
"Forget about it, forget it, and you can return to a comfortable life. Rest assured, hypnotic brainwashing does not require drug assistance, does not have any side effects, and will make them feel happier and more hopeful about life. β
"I heard that Chen Tao and Chen Yuetong are missing, do you have any news of them?"
"Chen Tao found it, and was slightly injured by the Water King Palace, and Chen Yuetong's position was also locked." Remembering something, Andrei said, "You have a week, have a good rest, and report back to the club in a week." β
"You guys?"
"The four Dao Sword Masters, the Seven Lotus Pagoda's rest and recuperation is a short vacation." AndrΓ© added, "Your phone must be kept open twenty-four hours a day, and I will contact you as soon as there is news from the Wind King's Palace." β
"Okay."
"Take advantage of this short vacation to spend more time with your grandparents." Patting Mokaiser on the shoulder, Andre turned to leave.
