Section I

The sunlight passed through the sky full of water vapor, and turned into wisps of light that stood obliquely on the Western Ocean, making it sparkling, and the wind unscrupulously opened the waves, constantly revealing layers of new water, and every island was precipitated in the turbulence, like a small boat, haggard and swaying with the wind above this deep sea. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although it may seem crumbling, it is in fact deep into the depths of the sea, connected to the earth, and is not afraid of the wind and waves, no matter how dangerous it may seem on the surface.

At noon, in fact, it was not supposed to be delayed for so long, and the two of them had almost vomited, but Lei Luo saw the pile of hull ruins and was attracted by it, and just wanted to drill to the bottom of the sea, eager to let the water move away so that he could see them more clearly. The charm that fascinated him came out of nowhere, and it began to grow more and more intense.

"Cassiu, do you remember what I told you before, when I came, I bought Fan Ran's boat, and I ran into a stone on the way? And my brother too, the fleet went to this place to wreck. There must be their ship, and there must be mine. Lei Luo looked at the lifeless ghost capital, and they created a kind of decaying and eerie horror picture, and the distant memories were as if they could really feel the cries for help when the ship was wrecked, and they couldn't guess how many corpses of people at sea had piled up inside. Lei Luo's strength after spitting has not passed, and he is getting more and more dizzy when he looks at this thing, but his tone is very stubborn.

"Lei Luo, this ...... I know, we can wait until we find Ake and solve the problem and then come back to study this, we will have more time in the future, now you hurry up, you must go! This matter is not negotiable! You give me a hurry! Don't rub it in, you also saw the thundercloud just now, we have to hurry back to the clouds. Cassiu had never been so agitated, he looked at the thunderclouds that were gradually covering the sky overhead, and suddenly felt sick to his stomach, and the discomfort that had just dropped rapidly was still suppressing Cassiu's brain.

"No, I'm not looking for my ship, I mean, there's got to be something down there, didn't you just say it's almost there? I've been in Narushu since I was a child, and I know that I used to feel this way! Lei Luo knew that he was thinking too much, and there was no basis for such words, and he knew that he just wanted to watch a little longer, or to slow down the nausea. He pointed to a big ship in the distance and shouted, "Maybe you won't find it in the future!"

"If you can't find it, you can't be delayed for a second! Is it time to see the scenery? I promise that I can find it when I come back! Let's go!" He looked up at the sky, gray, the island has been covered by the shadow of the cloud, the light rain has gradually begun to sprinkle, this black cloud is endless, almost can be called impermeable, the original transparent sea water of the Missilean Ocean under this shadow gradually began to see the distance clearly, little by little disappeared the outline turned into a pitch black, as if a darkness flew towards him. The chilly sense of fear grew stronger, and the quiet atmosphere began to be broken by the impersonal rain that grew more and more courageous, and it was obvious that the rain clouds could be seen moving towards their only remaining bright side, turning the sea more active and the island darker.

Cassiu had to take emergency measures, he patted Lei Luo on the back fiercely, let him spit out the rest of the bit, then pulled Lei Luo up hard, helped him push it up behind the jade deer, and sat on it himself, Lei Luo was also cooperative, but he was still a little dazed, and he hadn't recovered yet. As soon as Yulu saw Kaxiu coming up, she flapped her wings, as if she was doing a squatting motion, jumped hard, flew up, and began to speed up and fly to the side where there was still light. Cassieu began to get dizzy again, and in order to relieve a little nausea, he turned his head to look at the ruins that Lei Luo had just pointed out, and he suddenly felt as if there was something there, buried under this pile of ruins.

Eventually, Cassiu turned his head and gently poked Ralo in the shoulder with his elbow, signaling that he was about to start rising. It took a big arc around the thick rain clouds in the direction of the back, and it was only then that the upper end of the boundary of the thundercloud reached the top of the thick clouds.

But now it was no longer the clear white clouds, but the grayish-black clouds that had obscured the faded white clouds and shrouded the Missian-Western Ocean in its shadow.

"I was scared to death, but I was lucky to leave in time. And what were you stunned just now, we almost died. Cassius sneered for some reason, and stabbed him with his elbow with a gentle force.

"I'm still a little nauseous...... And, Cassiu, maybe you don't know it yet...... The oceanic plates below have been broken down by the Left Continent, and their surface is moving, and I'm afraid we won't be able to find ......it when we get back," Lei Luo roughly explained to himself, and returned to the topic.

"If you can find it, if you can't find it, it's nothing, it's all over, don't think about it, I can't find it and I'll accompany you, what are you afraid of." Cassius didn't know what to say, and didn't really want to talk about it again.

Lei Luo also closed his mouth in amusement, except for a few times when he vomited halfway. The two men remained silent with each other, concentrating on their journey, and said nothing.

The jade deer flew quickly on the upper floor, and the air currents blew the hair of the two people in the wind and trembled rapidly, completely exposing the two heads, and Kaxiu read softly, he felt that his hairline was blown a few centimeters higher. Lei Luo couldn't help but imagine for a moment, when they arrived in Naruto, would the two of them become a hairstyle that exploded like flowers.

It wasn't until he had crossed the huge clouds that Relo stopped pondering the ruins, instead focusing on the sea below and Cassiu's hairline.

"It's okay if you can't find it. Lei Luo symbolically patted Cassius on the shoulder and smiled, counting the sentence as an apology. And Cassius didn't respond, didn't look back, and was a little angry.

After crossing the dark clouds, they could once again see the details of the sea, the rolling waves, the seabirds flying freely around them, and some of the trees on the island below that did not hold up to the wind.

When Kashu noticed that the first snowflakes had fallen on his eyebrows, a violent storm came in an instant, and the last trace of warmth was wiped away with the wind and snow, and it seemed that he had entered the evil climate range of Narushu.

"Lei Luo, which side is Xi?" Under the wind and snow, Cassiu said this sentence very hard, arching his back, and motioning for Lei Luo to pay attention.

"Wait a minute, let me see. Lei Luo squinted, a little sleepy, but he couldn't sleep, and suddenly he was nauseous again, and he felt as if his head was frozen in his own vomit. Lei Luo could only see the outline of Kaxiu's back now, and the picture that was a few steps away was almost wiped clean by the wind and snow. But this time the action was unexpectedly sharp, and the hand suddenly touched the back to the side of the bag, and suddenly touched the back of the iron plate of the compass, which had been frozen by the wind and snow.

"Go in your direction at three o'clock, I can't stand it! Go to Winter Island to change clothes first! Stop at my house first, you know! I have a house over there!" Lei Luo shouted this sentence with all his strength, his voice still weakened a lot in the wind and snow, and Cassius only ambiguously discerned it. Lei Luo brought the compass in front of him, barely able to see the direction. A disgusting force hit his head again, and he stopped looking, turned his hand behind his back, and tucked the compass back into the small compartment with the edge.

Three hours earlier, Ake had reached the southernmost part of Naruto.

Ake looks much thinner than a year ago, without the slightly chubby feeling he used to have, and with this capable and delicate temperament. But what remains unchanged is that she still doesn't seem to have that kind of exhausting vicissitudes, or that kind of new vitality.

"Is this exit really under the sea......" Ake checked the cliff several times, but found no trace of the doorway, she stood on the shore, took off her thick coat, cotton pants, and snow boots and stuffed them all into the big bag, wearing only a single vest and thin cropped pants, with glasses, shivering, took a deep breath, closed her eyes tightly, and plunged into the sea.

The sea water closely connected to the Narushu continent is not ordinary cold, and the ground is also flooded with dense submarine plants, which are as tall as the two-story small bungalow of Zuo Lu Fan Pu's house.

Even though Ark was wearing waterproof glasses, his eyes were still tingling with the cold air that penetrated the sea, so he had to grope his way with his eyes half-open, and the endless coldness of the sea water penetrated into Ak's body little by little, stimulating the fragile bones.

Fortunately, this entrance is not far below sea level, and the water pressure is not very strong enough for Ake to drill in and take a look.

This is a hollow almost conical protruding rock connected to the cliff leading to the bottom of the sea in Naruju, and its existence is very hidden, at this time there is only a little light shining here, not just a casual glance can be seen, because it is hollow, I don't know where on the land the air penetrates, this space is just enough to hide two or three people.

The sea did not submerge the space, revealing a small platform with a bronze door standing on the wall. The door was only a little taller than Ake, not as tall as a man.

"Really fake ......" Ark didn't froze for a moment, maybe it was the survival instinct under the cold, she quickly climbed onto the platform with her hands and feet, gasping for breath, shrinking into a ball, the air here is actually a little warm, but with some seawater behavior, but this does not affect her happiness very much. The bitter cold mixed with the unconcealable joy that made Ake shiver incessantly.

"Fantastic...... The water didn't seep in......" In addition to the excitement, Ake shivered, tried his best to stay calm, opened the bag, dried his body with a towel, put on a thick coat, and checked the contents of the bag. What she was carrying was the kind of waterproof plastic backpack she was wearing, airtight, and not a drop of seawater penetrated at all.

But her joy was diminished a lot, and she suddenly found that the door was tightly closed, and there was no keyhole. Only the door is carved with a simple four characters, and a pattern of twelve villains in a circle.

That's what it says on the door of the "official dark road".

The joy was extinguished by the cold waters and the faint smell of the sea in the air, and it was only then that Ake realized how reckless his actions were. She got up, put on her cotton pants and boots, and sat down against the stone wall, intending to pry the door when she had regained some strength. But Ake didn't know that this door couldn't be pried open, and he didn't know that there was a last official flying towards this place.

The charm of Guanzhou is by no means in its vast land and vast resources, but in the vast number of living beings in the long history, it is exclusive to its vertical and horizontal chaos. This makes this splendid and magnificent Guanzhou majestic and overlooking all the other small lands. And the soaring majesty of this instrument is concentrated in the largest country on this continent: Dumeng.

Dumeng, like its name, seems to have been born with an imperial name, and it is not even afraid of the entire Lingzhou army, not only because of its geographical advantages, but also because of the best and strongest people here.

Its people have never been willing to be the people of an incompetent person, and it has also created its development and laid the foundation for its inevitable chaos and nightmare accompanied by struggle and bloodshed, shuttling through the long river of history.

And at this moment, its king is standing behind the curtain of Shouchu, secretly desolate.

Fan Pu looked at Kaxiu's little note, his heart was very tasteless, not unhappy, not angry, inexplicably a little lonely, so he crumpled the note into a ball and stuffed it into the pocket of his pants. He stood on the open-air balcony, ready to leave Chuyi.

Fan Pu:

I was in a hurry, and I was going to tell you about it.

Maybe you can still remember Lei Luo, I have a very urgent matter to do with him, and when I come back, I will take him to you and wait for me in Tumeng.

Cashuliu September 12

The handwriting was very sloppy, and it took Fan Pu a lot of effort to recognize it.

"Let's go, this guy actually released me and a bird's pigeon, haha, let's go home. Fan Pu rubbed the big bird's head and said with a slight smile.

This big bird has been following Fan Pu for almost a year, and a year ago it took Fan Pu, who had just become the last official, to kill Li Cheng and fly to Guanzhou. But reality keeps telling Fan Pu that this is not Fan Pu's beast, but he is still unwilling to find the little guy who belongs to him.

Fan Pu stayed in the center of the earth in Luo Fengfeng for almost two months, transforming the dark valve little by little, what the last official said could bring about the end of the world.

On December 28, 63, nearly nine months before this meeting, Fan Pu, who had been in the center of the earth for two months, finally succeeded in his transformation, and he was so thin that he could see the bones, and if he didn't have some muscles, he would have become a real bone frame.

"I see you have something to say. Fan Pu closed the stone door, he had no confidence to speak, and walked with his sword against the ground as a crutch, and the royal staff was pinned to his waist, only half of it was left, and the other half had also melted into the dark valve, which was used as a material to improve the warmth of the dark valve. The rest of the part was also dirty and lost any of its original shine, and it looked like a broken crutch.

There was a sudden sound beside him, which frightened Fan Pu's legs, and he, who was already weak, couldn't help but be frightened and sat on the ground. He turned his head and saw that the big bird that had brought him was sleeping next to the entrance of the cave, and it had been it that had brought food to Fan Pu all year round, although it was the carcasses of some animals, or a few strange-looking plants, but it had not eaten Fan Pu to death, which was already a great success.

"Hey, brother, get up, it's time for a good day, take me to the place where you picked me up, meet the old fellow, and see what he has to say." Fan Pu rubbed the big bird's head, only to see it roll its eyes, flapping its wings lazily, and then shining its back to Fan Pu.

Fan Pu didn't say anything, he originally wanted to step on it directly, but he had no strength in his legs, so he had to climb up slowly, and it took a lot of effort to sit down.

The sky of Luo Fengfeng was still like that, but this fiery cloud of the setting sun was the first time he had seen it since he lost his memory. These two peaks reach into the sky, and both have flown so high.

Fan Pu recalled the scene, and he remembered every detail clearly, including the movement of rubbing its head as it does now.

At first, Fan Pu thought that he would definitely die, due to the high temperature inside the underground, he slept at the entrance that was not so hot every day for the past two months, the ground was cold, and the air was hot, he could only keep turning over at night, it can be said that he had not slept well. Every time he was about to faint, every time the bird was outside, constantly arguing, using this unique way to refresh him and survive this time together.

It's been almost a year, and in addition to living in the cool air outside, he has gotten rid of that kind of terrible life, but he also feels that this big bird seems to be getting old.

The bird was not as noisy as it was at the beginning, and it became less and less fond of calling, but more and more fond of rubbing its head against him.

Section II

At the moment, Keini is not in Yehuang, she is on the boat to Narushu. It's like what Lenny said many years ago: she will always be like a black cat in the night, you can't figure it out and you can't see it.

"You say your name means bravery, but I don't think you're like your name, aren't you?" She sat on the aft deck, she had already brought a chaise longue, set up a coffee table, put a tea set on it, and a big umbrella beside her, and she was pouring tea into the cup.

It's a time when the fog is overcast, and the rain gets heavier.

"Sort of, it's enough to be presumptuous when you were a child, and who wants to make the chickens and dogs around you restless when you grow up?" Lenny held up a black umbrella, his slightly fat body couldn't be seen after changing into a black coat, but the umbrella was still not fully covered, and the rain was dripping on his left shoulder.

Puni faced the sea, and all Lanny could see was the back of the chair, and the top of the head with pale yellow hair that was exposed on it, and the hem of the clothes that leaked diagonally next to it, floating gently in the wind. He was a little inexplicably flustered, didn't stalemate any longer, gently walked to the other side of the table, pulled a chair from the side, picked it up, shook the water, took out a piece of paper from his coat pocket, wiped the place where he was going to sit, and completed this set of actions unhurriedly, sat down full, and naturally lifted Erlang's legs, it seemed that he was in a happy mood.

"So how comfortable do you want to be with me?" Keeni smiled nicely and placed a cup next to him.

Lanny heard that Keeni was deliberately talking back, and was dissatisfied with it, so he didn't say anything more, and let her continue, "You know the situation, you can't save yourself." When you get to Yehuang, get off the boat, now Miaogu or Chenghai are safe. ”

"You know that I hate dealing with those **** guys, and my business is ruined by them. The first half of my life was ruined, and the second half of my life will be punished again because of them. You don't have to think that I have this kind of mind to follow where you go to see them, I was going to get off the boat in Yehuang, I want to make an appointment with someone to discuss business, and take your ride. Lenny poured half a glass of water into the cup that Keeni had handed him, took a sip of it, and gently placed it on the coffee table. There was a smug smug in his tone, and he felt that Kenie was mistaking him for following her to Narushu.

"Well, I'm thinking too much. Keeni smiled, stood up, and held on to the guardrail, never turning to look at Lenny. "Then with the speed of that little guy flying in Fan Pu, you should be late. "It's still flat, not like Lenny's voice full of emotion.

"How do you know. Lenny's eyes straightened, and fear grew in his heart, and he stood up and leaned back, trying to get away from the woman. He had a very strange and scary idea, this woman, a smiling tiger that he had spent years and had not guessed.

"Who made me someone you hate, Lanny. Keeni smiled sweetly.

"Is this your home......" Cassius stood outside the door, perhaps because he had become a little used to it, the snow felt smaller than it had just been, and the surroundings were much quieter, at least they could hear each other accurately. He looked at the small two-story house in front of him, which was pitch black inside, with only a light shining from the shadow of snow in the opposite window.

"No one has cleaned it for more than a year, except for the dust, it is quite tidy, and when I left, everything was sealed and the inside was clean. You wait, I'll go get you clothes. Lei Luo stared at this picture, and it seemed that even the trajectory of the snow drifting was exactly the same as it was back then.

"Shall I go and make a fire, ah, is there a lamp?" Cacius touched it, but instead of touching the switch of the lamp, he touched the ash of his hand.

"It's not like Guanzhou, it's too backward, there's no electricity, where is the light. Don't start a fire, there's an oil lamp on the table over there, and matches are on the cabinet next to it, you look around, I forgot where I put it. "There are more mixed feelings than the indescribable emotion and bitterness, which is larger than the volume of every snowflake here. Pushing open the creaking door, he suddenly remembered the scene when Fan Pu opened the creaking broken wooden door in front of his eyes in Zuolu. Inside are familiar seats, familiar blankets, familiar staircases, familiar fireplaces. Now, on the cloth that they have covered, time has also covered them with a thick layer of dust, like gray-black snow drifting in from the window, full of memories.

"I've brought some food, so let's replenish my strength. Cathew felt for the match, but before he could find the oil lamp, he accidentally found the dining table.

"There's a rag on the table, wipe down the table and chairs, or it will get dirty. Lei Luo was surprised that he could remember this, and that after a year he was still able to bring himself into the habits he had used to make. He patted the snow off his body, expertly threw his backpack onto the shelf, and instead of going to the cathieu and going to the dining room, he followed his habits, walked up to the second floor, and glanced at Renault's room. He didn't have the window that Lelo had closed when he left, and the floor and furniture inside were rough from the wind, but not as dusty as downstairs. The rudder of the ship he had placed on the window a year ago was tired of a thick layer of snow, and the windowsill was the same, and at first glance it looked like a small grave.

Lei Luo took out the broom from behind the door, swept the snow out, and slammed the window shut.

"Relo, what's wrong?" came Cassiu's worried voice downstairs, he hadn't found the stairs yet.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Have you lit the oil lamp?" Relo shouted downstairs as he walked up the stairs, and walked into his room.

"I lit it, Lei Luo, and besides, your lamp is clearly in the living room, not on the table. Cassius seemed to have found the stairs, and his voice began to get closer and closer.

"Well, I misremembered. You go up to the second floor and turn right, I'm in my room. Lei Luo picked up the pocket watch on the table, wiped it, looked at the time, and stuffed it into his arms. "I should have had it. Lei Luo said silently.

"What did you say?" Cassius had already arrived in Relo's room with the oil lamp. The light of the oil lamp had made Cassiu's face flush, and he had just suffered a lot of cold, and now the sudden warmth had made his face even redder.

"It's okay, come on, you put this on, you can't wear it, it can freeze you to death. Lei Luo took out a thick fur coat and a thin layer of clothes from the cupboard.

"Isn't it cold?" Cashew looked at the thin suit, a little confused.

"In case something happens, you won't get stuck when you want to 'get out of your shell'. Raylo tossed his clothes to him, barely catching them.

Lei Luo decided not to linger too long, and simply ate a bite to eat before leaving. He hadn't cleaned anything, leaving the dusty appearance behind, and he felt as if it might be another kind of permanence.

"Lei Luo, are you sure you go straight to the Silver Rift Valley now?" Cassiu had already changed into the thick coat that Lei Luo had prepared at home, but he still couldn't help but shudder.

"Well, I think she's going to go there if she's going to look for her, and even though my family hasn't let me go there since I was a kid, I can probably guess what she thinks. Lei Luo looked at the land of Narushu on the other side of Winter Island, and felt that the scenery he had seen since he was a child had become extremely heroic at this moment. Walking towards the other side of my hometown, which I have never stepped on, I began to feel more and more excitement in my heart.

"Okay, but I suggest we should go around the beach first, and find Ake's ship before we have a clue. After all, we can't blindly go directly to the Silver Rift Valley to find it, we don't have any news of Qirui, and we shouldn't blindly waste time. Cassius looked at the freezing world and felt that the wind and snow here were much more cruel and merciless than the drifting snow of the ice barrier.

"Well, listen to you. "Lei Luo felt that Cassiu had really grown up this year.

"We have been to Chuyi, and we have checked it, but we haven't found it. "The revised black civilian clothes are much more agile than the fat robes of the past, but you can still see that style, carrying the hood that only leaks out of the eyes as soon as you put it on, and looks more like an assassin.

"Have you checked the venue and the government?" Following the electromagnetic waves, I found the other end of the microphone, and the blue pupils under the gray hood were still as bright as those in the Dongling Sea a year ago.

"I've checked it all, his assistant told us that he went out after the meeting, I heard that he often did this, and disappeared for many days after leaving only a note, plus now that he has made his identity public, he can be said to have disappeared in the open. As he spoke, he had a tone of disappointment that he couldn't hide even if he wanted to.

"What a headache...... It's still late, and those guys are to blame for stopping me. You have also worked hard, leave a few more people to guard Shouchu, and report at any time if there is news. He rubbed his temples and frowned.

"Okay, then the rest of us ......"

"Leave a quarter to watch in Chuyi, and the rest will be divided into three teams, and they will go to Miaogu, Muxiang and the Split Country, and we must determine their position before the remaining countries are captured, and receive them on our side. ”

"What about you?"

"I'm going to Chenghai, I want to find their leader as soon as possible, that Fan Ran, I talked to him about it last year, the alliance must be established now, and if we wait, we will all be defeated under the last official. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, before he could continue to ask, he heard the sound of hanging up the phone.

"It's annoying...... Every time," she smiled, tied her white hair back at the top of her head, and put on her black hood. He glanced up, reflecting the black clouds floating in the west of Chuyi, and it seemed that this problem that caused the whole world a headache came again: [Mourning Cloud], whether it was the people, the underground party, or the last official. Every ten years or so, such a huge dark cloud is generated, which washes the whole world with violent storms and rains, and finally returns to the clouds and winds, as if they had never come, exposing the earth to the sun for the calamities that arose from it.

This rain has not come for twenty-one years, and it has been a long time since the [Mourning Cloud] ended in the Battle of the Crown Spirit, and everyone is inevitably in a sullen panic, which does not bode well for them, and not only that, but the thunder and lightning will also break a lot of things.

In Zero Dust's memories, this was the first time she had seen the true face of [Mourning Cloud], which was far more real than what she had heard in other people's mouths. It is said that twenty years ago, the clouds covered the sun, but only more than half of the sky was covered. That rain took away the Battle of the Crown. This time, it seems to have made a comeback with more horror and new chaos.

The moment Lingchen walked out of the port of Jiquanzhou, it was her seventh birthday, and she was born at 0:00 in the morning seven years ago, and she always felt that this name seemed too straightforward and had no deep meaning.

She never understood why her parents left him forever when she was three years old, probably with the bright red hair she had been born with, leaving her and her mother-in-law in this deserted land.

The original bright red hair color slowly transformed as she grew up, becoming darker and darker, and now at the age of nineteen, she already has maroon hair.

She still remembered the date of November 16, 52, on the wrecked ship that the village adults had spent three years repairing, and it was wobbly and difficult to be blown from night to morning, and finally blown to the Split Country, and most of the people who accompanied her died in the sea when they passed through the deep sea. She was spared from being swept down by the waves because she was hiding in the cabin. Ships are sunken every year in this place, and even if they don't sink, they are always washed into the sea by the waves, and many crew members.

After recovering from the panic, she realized that it had been five full days since she left Jiquanzhou, and she had to let the ship drift on the sea after losing her adult a few days ago, but fortunately she drifted to the Rift Country that afternoon.

As soon as he thought about selling the ship, a large number of merchants flocked to the coast, launched an auction on the spot, and bid one after another, buying the ship from Ling Chen's hands at a price of 70 million crowns.

She made a fortune in a daze, but because of her lack of knowledge, she only dared to save it carefully. However, although she is young, she has lived in the business circle of the most developed harbor island in the state: the bone chain chain, and she still understands some truth. She deposited her money in an international bank and got a job at the palace.

It wasn't until she had been in the circle of the Split Country for a year and a half that she realized that this ship was an old antique before the outbreak of the Battle of the Crown, and she might have sold it cheaply to those merchants and let them cheat themselves. They bought one of their own at the price of an ordinary cruise ship, and the difference in price is not tens of millions to explain. Later, she thought about it, compared to the people in the village who escorted her with their lives, she was lucky enough, a full 70 million crown coins, every time she thought about it, she would secretly congratulate herself that she had found this antique ship that was washed up by the waves to the extreme state, otherwise, she would not have been able to be taken on this ship.

Despite this, in the royal family of the Split Country, she could only find a low-level assistant job, and lived quietly in this deep mountain valley for twelve years.

It would be a mistake to say that it is a huge valley deep in the mountains, because this is a country built on a steep cliff, a dense and deep rift, and there is no foundation on the ground, so the houses have to be built on stone pillars that rise one after another, and rely on drawbridges to get to and from each other. More so to speak, this is a country on a bridge. They built houses together, and for a long time, people were more and more willing to build houses together, forming one city after another, and then someone planned it, and the city became layer by layer, using elevators as transportation. These cities are just like that, one by one, in the middle of the country.

And deep underneath the largest city, the royal palace was built here. This is the basement of the southernmost coast of the Rift, and it is necessary to pass through a long dark passage between the high rift valleys to see this not-so-majestic, but unusually secretive structure deep in the heart of the earth.

It wasn't until the Split Kingdom was taken by the last official of Bayan that she was transferred from the city branch above to the underground palace, which was the place where the old royal family hid after each country was realized.

At first, Zero Dust liked the job very much, it carried this magical, faint adventurous atmosphere, but later, the novelty began to fade, and the magical place became a dark abyss, and she became more and more reluctant to live in the palace, she hoped that she could run to live in a rented house in the city above every day and every night. She prefers to spend a lot of time every day and go to sunny days.

It wasn't until [Mourning Cloud] came to this day that this kind of life in the abyss was over, so this cloud was not so depressing for her, and it was not as terrifying as people said.

At this time, Narushu is still full of unpredictable scenery. Now it became a world that was almost indistinguishable, with white flowers in sight, no gray dust, no folds of rich verdant, just the wind swirling overhead, singing something silent.

Lei Luo stumbled one by one, the thick snow was very difficult to walk, and against the direct obstruction of the strong wind, he and Cassiu walked slowly forward, and it was almost dusk before they reached the southern coast.

To be honest, Narushu is not big, and it takes three or two days to go around it, and if there is no bad weather, it will be faster. To add insult to injury, Jade Lu began to become disobedient, seeing that he had just reached the south, and he had not even completed a quarter of the way, but he was no longer willing to take Kaxiu and Lei Luo with him.

"This guy...... How can the chain fall at such a critical moment...... It seems to be down there......" Cassius grumbled, and the jade deer no longer knew where to run, but left a faint sense of induction, rushing towards the white expanse of feet.

"What did it tell you?" said Ralo with a twist, interested, and by the way, he pulled Cassius to look at the waves below the cliff.

The water below churned, crashing against the stone walls. This reminded Cassiu of the entrance to the Oasis Island Union.

"Before...... Oh yes, I explained it to Fan Pu, and I haven't told you yet. It's just a brain wave or something, don't be envious, this thing has a headache. Also, I think...... Do you want me to go down and have a look? I remember that the entrance to the underground party was also built on a cliff. Kasiu laughed, but a little awkwardly.

"I'm a ghost. Be careful. Lei Luo glanced at him, smiled, nodded, unloaded his backpack, took out the rope, and threw it to Cassiu. "Tie it to the inner layer, as I said before, leave a trick for the golden cicada to come out of its shell. ”

"Well, don't move up there, if I find the entrance, I'll let the jade deer go up and pick you up, this is probably no problem, it shouldn't be so disobedient. As instructed, Kahew tied the rope to the thin layer of clothing inside, which he had never tied before, but clumsily wrapped a loop around his stomach and hung the iron hook.

The fishy smell of the seaside makes the exclusive smell of the cold no longer so strong, and the steep stone wall is often a pit when stepped on, which is very unsolid. Caxiu's grip on the rope tightly, and Relo tied the other end around his waist, clutching it tightly.

Kasiu longed to see some crack like a crack in the door, but there was no trace, and only then did Cassiu notice again that the direction of the jade deer always stayed at his feet, not in the cliff in front of him.

Cassius could imagine that the Jade Deer was diving into the deep sea, its vision falling into a long darkness, and its body was clinging to the unusually cold climate of Narushu. Kasiu was in a daze, his legs softened, and he slid down. Only then did he react, and hurriedly grabbed a raised stone before he stabilized himself again. His eyes widened, staring at the stone wall in front of him, and the rope around his waist became very tight, pulling him up little by little.

"What's the matter? What do you want to do? I told you to be careful, I didn't have any clothes to change into if I fell into the sea. How's it going?Did you find anything?" Lei Luo was startled by the sudden fall, and subconsciously pulled the rope up. He shouted from above, put the rope over his shoulder, and used a cart to pull the cart in the opposite direction of the cliff.

"It's fine, just thinking about something. He replied briefly, looking a little lame in a hurry, and grabbed the uneven rocks and climbed up.

"You just fell like this, and you almost pulled me down, next time you want to say something to me, okay?" Lei Luo frowned, untied the rope tightly wrapped around his waist, rubbed his waist, and glared at Kasiu.

"I know where Ark is, it's at the bottom of the sea, Jade Lu should have seen her. After a moment's breath, he added, "I always thought that the jade deer could send me a message from such a distance...... I'll try it with some maple pulp when I go back......"

"Eat it, eat you. Like Fan Pu, I have lost my memory, how you like to toss and how to toss, this time I don't care about you. Lei Luo was still angry.

"Hey, just kidding. Cassiu had a little regret for making this joke on Lei Luo's head.

"You just said that Ake is under the sea? How is it possible, what is she going down to do now, Winter Swimming?" Lei Luo sneered and pursed his lips.

"If you think about it, the entrance built on the seashore can't be waterproof, isn't it? They must have thought of it when they designed it, what should I do if the sea tide rises and big waves come, this entrance to the sea...... No, this is actually an exit, but now it has to be used as an entrance. This entrance must have been flooded by the rise of sea level, but there happened to be a large protruding rock here, so they carved a hole in it from underneath and let in air, which was connected to the internal environment and became a very private little space. They're the best at this kind of stealthy stuff. If it weren't for the one who led me to find the different skeleton in the first place, I might not be the last official now. Cassius gestured, sketching with his fingers on the snow, freezing his entire index finger red.

"Are you left-handed?" Relo was a little confused when he got to the back, only noticing Cassius drawing on the snow with his left hand.

"Don't talk about this yet, did you bring anything warm, or waterproof?" Cassius took off his padded jacket and looked at Lei Luo.

"I didn't bring warmth, I only brought two plastic bags, enough to fit our clothes in, but I don't know if it will leak or float. Lei Luo took out two large black plastic bags from his cotton pockets, which were the bags that used to make fish on Winter Island.

"Then put it on it, there should be magma in the depths of the Worm, it's usually very warm inside, I went to the center of the earth to see it when I went to Tumeng the other day, it was very hot. Cassius himself felt that this optimism was a little reluctant.

No longer abrasive, they began to take off their heavy coats and stuff them into their bags, leaving only the thin vest, which exposed their shoulders in the cold air, and shivered at once. Holding the concept that long pain is better than short pain, he took a deep breath, and was about to cough it out, before he held his breath and plunged into the cold and biting seawater. As a large ball of bubbles brought into the sea water by their bodies came out, the two of them also began to swim desperately, their eyes barely narrowed, and they were also blurry, and they could only barely see the outline. The two of them swam sharply in the extremely cold water, beware of their bodies being frozen and stiff. With the increasing water pressure, Lei Luo wanted to cover his ears, but because of the cold pressure, he couldn't help but work harder downstream.

"Uh......h Woo. Cassius tried to tell Lei Luo to pay attention to the cavities in the stone wall, but through the medium of water, he could only transmit some whine and woo ru sounds to Lei Luo's ears.

Lei Luo heard the voice of Cassiu behind him, twisted his neck stiffly, glanced at Cashew, and spread his hands incoherently, indicating that he didn't hear clearly.

Cassius shook his hand, pointed at Relo, then at himself, then at the stone wall, and then overtook Relo, grabbed his arm, and went downstream.

Lei Luo followed closely behind Cassiu, not knowing what he meant just now, whether to follow him himself, or to leave him alone in the moment of danger and go first.

Section III

"Also... And Raylo?" Ark had been sitting here for a long time, and she had been in this place since half past nine in the morning, and had been studying the bronze door for nearly nine hours. She had given up and sat here eating the compressed biscuits she had brought with her. Just a few minutes ago, she was so frightened by the sudden emergence of jade deer that she almost threw up the biscuits. In fact, she did squirt a little, and some hope was kindled. Ark knew that Jade Lu was here, which meant that Cassiu was also here. But unexpectedly, after Cassiu's head came out of the water, Lei Luo also swam up after him, and scared her a lot.

"Yes...... Oh, yes...... I'm here too. Lei Luo smiled politely, but he couldn't help but shiver, and so did Cassiu. Both of them climbed up from the cold, biting water, wearing only a thin layer of vests

Seeing this, Ake estimated why they had come here, so he quickly took out a towel and a coat from his bag and threw them to them.

Cassiu is not bad, not too tall and fits well in Ake's clothes, but he is a little uncomfortable with those fur collars. Ke Lei Luo put on Ake's clothes, although he could easily put them on, his arms were exposed, and he looked very uncomfortable.

"Why don't I wear it, it's not convenient to move......" Lei Luo smiled awkwardly, took off his coat, and draped it over his shoulders like a pirate captain.

"Explain it to me first. How did you two get here, how did you find this place?" Ark didn't expect anyone else to find this place, and because she didn't have any precautions, this relaxed state, the sudden appearance of the jade deer scared her a lot.

"Dasha told me, she said you came to Mingzhou, I happened to meet Kasei, he guessed that you were here to find Qirui, we thought you were not very good, so we came to you, two more people will definitely be able to help you. Lei Luo said, the coldness of the sea water seeping into his bones has not completely dissolved, his hands are covering his neck, his mouth is constantly hissing, and the skin on his hands is also frozen a lot.

"That guy...... Why just tell someone casually...... Forget it, you two are no one else. Thanks, I do need some manpower. But, Cassiu, how did you guess I was here?"

"I think you came to Mingzhou to find a way to restore the country, after I knew that there was a mushroom here, I thought you were just going to come to find it, so we followed the goal of the entrance to the mushroom, originally we were going to look for your ship first, but the jade deer suddenly jumped in, and it probably found you here......."

Kaxiu spoke with an awkward tone, after all, Ake had been hiding news from his Lei Luo for a whole year, and now the three of them were crowded in this small space, which was even more embarrassing.

Ake became the most embarrassed one, she didn't look at Ka Xiu's gaze with interest, squinted her eyes, and said to Lei Luo: "Lei Luo, is Ka Xiu really a double tie with Fan Pu Yan Mo?"

"How do you know?" Lei Luo felt a little strange, when the ice barrier fell and Ake fled with the royal family, Fan Pu had just become a second-level official.

"I saw it in the newspaper in Beilingzhou, so I really set up with him...... Let's not talk about that, can you open this door?" Ake frowned, pointing to the bronze door.

"This is ......" After looking at it for a long time, Kaxiu raised his head and said to Ake: "If you want two last officials, you must be above the end of the three Yan officials. ”

"How do you see that? It's a mess...... It's like a ghost. Lei Luo touched the text carvings, but still couldn't read anything.

"Yulu told me. Kaxiu patted Yulu's hairy head, and Yulu also rubbed Kaxiu's arm affectionately, and lay down next to the door.

"Anyway, we just can't get through this door now?" said Relo.

"Didn't I come? A sharp voice came from behind through the cold air.

The red hair didn't match the [Mourning Cloud] itself, and the storm blew it into a mess. Zero Dust did not take refuge in the Rift Royal House below the Chain Valley of the Capital at this time, but took an elevator to the top floor of the city.

Instead of a large and small building with a deep stone wall, as is the case below, it is an undulating open space that has been built into a park to prevent the foundations of the buildings below from being damaged.

Zero Dust sat on a stone on a small stone slope, and any plants grew around this stone, and the field of vision was wider than other places, and it was also the clearest and neatest place to see [Mourning Clouds]. Maybe I got the time wrong, it was almost night, but the sky was still gray.

"Lingchen, hurry up, I guess I can't stand it here, we have to hurry up and go to the royal family now." It's not good to get caught by a patrolman. ”

"What do you say if we're buried underneath, do you want to live underground forever?"

"Even if you bury it, there must be a way to get out. Stay on it, and you'll only fall to your death. Hurry up, in a little while, maybe the next earthquake is coming. I'm afraid the city can't hold it, but the palace is very strong, we ...... at least" The man hesitated and stopped talking.

Zero Dust ignored his hesitation, at least looked up at the black cloud that was about to cross overhead, and stood up. patted the floating ash on his body and walked down the stone slope. "It's been planned, it's six o'clock, I'll leave at nine o'clock in the evening, and I'll go to Shouchu. ”

"I'm sorry, there must be a way, just a little more time. The man also stood up and walked after her.

"Chuan Miao, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore, I won't stay here. Zero Dust grinned, bared her teeth, and smiled at him, which she thought was memorable, and it might be the last time they would see each other.

Chuan Miao is the daughter of the king and queen of the Split Kingdom, and she was there when the two went to work in Miao Valley, and Chuan was the word of their generation, so it was naturally changed to the name "Chuan Miao". After giving birth, she followed her parents back to the Split Country. Lingchen is very close to her, maybe the names are casual, maybe they match their age.

"You have to know that if you don't have a nationality, you can't have roots in any country in the world. Why are you in such a hurry! Wait, my dad will have a way to take back his position, and then he won't have to live underground every day!" Chuan Miao looked at Ling Chen, her jujube red hair was very long, almost up to her thighs, and her brown hair was scattered and less than her shoulders, and she had to tie it up every day, which was decent, and it didn't look like she had that chic beauty at all.

"Did you read the news this morning? The war has begun, and the Shouchu and the Metropolitan Alliance have allied. Lingchen continued to walk forward, and she heard Chuan Miao follow.

"It's time for war, why are you going?"

"I'll tell you a secret, did your dad tell you about the last official? Maybe your dad doesn't know about it, but they have a thing that preserves their strength, and they can help them hide a lot of things, and this thing is called a mushroom. As long as the lady is still there, the last official is still there. They rely on special beasts to hollow out the ground and use it as their mushroom. Zero Dust said slowly.

"I don't know. But does this have anything to do with us?" Chuan Miao had a headache, she didn't want to listen to this kind of inconsequential at this time.

"My dad is a Yayan Minister. Lingchen still didn't turn her head to look at her, she couldn't laugh at all now, "I hate the dark life here, Chuan Miao, we've been together for a year, and I didn't dare to tell you that it was the one who ousted your father from power in the first place." Now his heir has once again ousted your father from power, leaving your family to hide underground every day, and do you think I can feel at ease if I stay here?"

Lingchen didn't dare to turn her head to look at Chuan Miao, she didn't speak, she was silent, and left without looking back.

"Lenny, Lenny?" Fan Pu slapped Lenny in the face a few times.

"Uh-huh......" Lenny snorted heavily, his hands on the ground, and he propped himself up, lying on the shore where Ruan Shan was connected to the Missile, half of his legs soaked in the sea. There are dark clouds rolling in the sky, and it is raining lightly, maybe heavily.

"Why are you here?" Fan Pu's big bird covered Fan Pu with its wings, but it was useless, and the slanting rain still flowed down his hair.

"That old immortal mother-in-law...... She knew I was going to meet you, and I jumped out of the boat before I escaped......" Lenny kept coughing water, and it looked like he had choked on a lot of water from swimming here.

"I waited for you for a long time at the appointed place, and when I saw that you didn't come, I was worried that something would happen, so I asked it to come to you, but I didn't expect it...... Why did you jump off? Can't you fight her?" Fan Pu was puzzled, because Lanny actually laughed at this moment.

"I've been dealing with her for so many years, I thought I knew her very well, and now I know that I don't even see her even a little bit. With a sad face, Lenny stood up with Fan Pu's hand and walked slowly to the shore.

"Is she the last official?" Fan Pu looked at Lanny, his voice trembling a little.

"She always was. A face is the last official. From the time of the Battle of the Crown Spirit, she was already the last official. Lenny hung his head, clutched his heart, and gritted his teeth.

"So...... She was the one who signed an armistice with the North and South armies last time, and she was also the one who provoked this war...... Ethnical specialty, the last official...... Is it all her? She ...... "Fan Pu is already incoherent, if he really wants to unify the world, he and Ka Xiu's abilities alone are far from being able to conquer this high wall."

"That's right, I ......," Ranny collapsed before he could finish speaking.

"Hey, hey, you!" Fan Pu saw Lenny fall and hurriedly slapped him on the back, but Lenny didn't react again.

Fan Pu turned his body over and saw his face, his lips were dark purple, and he was dead.
