The Blue Lighthouse is a fairly upscale inn in the docklands, perched on a high cliff by the sea, from which you can clearly see the dense boats in Longyan Bay. The hotel is decorated in gold from the entrance to the exterior wall, and all the utensils in the hotel are made of very special materials, such as the finest wood carefully selected from the Fuyun Forest, the finest granite from Akayama, the luxurious carpets and tapestries of Jinju, and the various styles of crystal lamps imported from Etta at a high price. Those who are familiar with the allusions to the royal capital know that this gorgeous inn was formerly a blue lighthouse, and more than 60 years ago, the national craftsmen at that time built a lighthouse in another better location, and the blue lighthouse was bought by a leather merchant at a high price, and then demolished it, and built a new luxury hotel on the original site, named "Blue Lighthouse".

Gollini stood on the balcony on the second floor of the blue lighthouse, his blond hair fluttering in the wind, and his beautiful blue eyes full of melancholy. The view here is very open, with all kinds of ships from all over the world docked in the clear blue sea, and from time to time ships full of goods or passengers entering or departing the port, and in the distance on the horizon is a gray canopy, and flocks of seagulls gliding by. It was really a very good weather, and it was very rare for the New Year. The dragon is a super city with a population of more than 800,000 people, the actual population is probably even more, and there is a festive atmosphere everywhere at the moment, from the temple area to the business district, from the slum to the dock area, the banks of the dragon avenue and the lance river are full of people taking to the streets to celebrate, the new king ascended the throne, the day of the dragon's face, making the country a sea of joy, immersed in great joy.

It's a great country, and for the ETA people, boxers are also a people worth learning from. For thousands of years, boxers have been known for their hard work, and they have made the most of their hands to change the environment in which they live. The gods of the earth did help them a lot, and the wall of dragon scales effectively blocked the nomads of the Great Wasteland from invading south, but it is also an indisputable fact that the Boxers still won the largest territory on the Ryfeng Continent and established the richest and most powerful country with the lizardmen in the south and the mountain giants in the west. They were able to create arable land to survive even in inhospitable areas, and Gollini always thought that if they were released into the Great Wasteland, fertile land would also appear there.

They seek the way of tranquility, the most harmonious way of existence between heaven and earth. When heaven and earth are peaceful, all things prosper and grow endlessly. Gollini had to admit that this idea was indeed very reasonable, and that the people lived in peace and contentment, and the land was in good weather, and it was also the beautiful scene he hoped for, and such a scene was what his country longed for.

Boxers have also mastered the magical art of using qi. The core of boxing has always been difficult for the Eta people to understand, let alone master. Moreover, like the elves in the Esoteric Forest, boxers do not like to pass on their secrets to outsiders, and it is more difficult to find a non-boxer resident of the Eta Federation who knows boxing than to find a needle in a haystack.

But the boxers lacked sufficient vigilance. They cannot foresee the danger that is coming, just as they have not had the talent to study magic for a long time. At the same time, they have been strong for too long to be forcefully challenged, and thus gradually relax their perception of the anomalies in the outside world. And now the crisis is spreading.

"Aren't you going to go and see the excitement, or the third Iron Bow must be very surprised by our behavior today. Marco came out of the room, holding a porcelain flask.

"Then let him go weird. Gollini lay on the balcony railing, his brow condensed into a knot. "He's concerned about getting more money out of our pockets. ”

Marco tilted his head and swallowed a sip of his wine, a strange smile on Scar's face. "He cared about something else, and he got together with the people of the Golden Needle Society. The thieves are keeping an eye on us, they want to know why we are here and if they are a threat to them. ”

"They are also investigating and tracking Naku. ”

"Maybe it's a good idea for them to get in direct contact? Now that we've lost track of Naku, they're the best trackers in the city. Marco handed the flask over.

Golini took it and took a sip. "They should have found Ah Chang. They found out about the last time I met Fano and Ah Chang. They have now determined that we are not businessmen who have come to do business. Yesterday they had already reached out to Fano. ”

"That kid didn't say anything to me!" said Marco, with some displeasure. He was Fano's mentor and introduced Fano to their organization. The two often quarreled with each other, but Gollini knew that they were very close and how much Fano loved his mentor.

"He's so tired. Don't you already know that now? We have a plan, and you'll know when you get back. Gollini smiled mysteriously.

"Yesterday a contact at the Fertility Chamber of Commerce died suddenly, mostly related to Naku. Could his next target be someone in the palace?" Marco was not impatient, and without asking, he retrieved the flask, propped one arm on the guardrail, and exhaled in the sea breeze.

"It's hard to predict his movements, he's like an invisible man, he's incredibly fast, unpredictable, like those creatures of the Abyss. The worst part is here, he's not from the Abyssal Realm, and Reece can't track him down. ”

"He's stronger than we ever imagined. Yuan Fa was quite an excellent boxing master, but he also died at his hands. ”

"Look at those seagulls. "You know them, you know where they're going, and what is a sign of stopping in droves." But for Yuanfa and the vast majority of boxers, Naku is not like this, but an unknown factor. They don't know what he's capable of, and they don't know how to guard against him. Just like Xin Gang was easily defeated in the dueling arena, he didn't expect Naku to launch a counterattack in that situation. ”

Marco nodded in agreement.

Gollini retreated to a large rattan chair on the balcony and lay down, resting his legs on a jade coffee table, "I've been thinking all morning to sort things out. We have a lot of clues and situations, but like a large pile of loose beads, there is still a thread missing to string them together. I've probably found the thread by now. ”

Marco also sat down at the coffee table, his light gray eyes filled with anticipation. Gollini knew what he was in the eyes of his companions - he sometimes seemed overly enthusiastic, but his calmness was his trait, and he was especially good at analysis and thinking, which was why he became the leader of their operation.

"Naku's series of actions seem to be irregular, much like the freewheeling style of the creatures of the Abyss. First made a big splash in the liveliest tavern, so that the city knew about him. He then began to play Disappearance, causing a number of attacks, including the two major local martial arts arenas, the well-known Chamber of Commerce, and the Iron Fist Temple. On the surface, the Dragon Tooth Tavern, the Overlord Martial Field, the Green Dragon Martial Field, the Fertile Chamber of Commerce, and the Iron Fist Temple, these organizations have no obvious connection, and these actions seem inexplicable. Why did he make enemies and cause chaos everywhere? We know that he wasn't an abyssal creature, he was only different from the Sunlands, but he was still a human being. ”

"Maybe that's what the creatures of the Abyss do, who knows what they want, maybe they don't want anything, they just want to make trouble. ”

This is not unreasonable. Maybe that's exactly what happened. But we should think that the dragon is now in a very delicate moment. The king was changed, the descendants and cronies of the previous king were punished, the court was in turmoil, and the whole country was in danger. Well, it was under such circumstances that a black clan suddenly came, creating so much chaos. What does he want to do? I think he wants to make everything a little more messy and out of control to send a hint to the boxers. ”

"Hint?"

"We must not forget that today is the day of the dragon's face. ”

"You mean, it's all about the day of the dragon's face?" the scar on Marco's face writhed, a look of surprise on his face.

"For quite some time, there has been a rumor among the boxers that the first king dragon Xingtian has lost the favor of the god of the earth, so his family has suffered frequent disasters, and he himself has finally died of a strange illness. The monks believed that many boxers had abandoned their traditions and no longer followed the ancient teachings, and that the worship of the dragon was weakening. In the current situation, it is easy to believe that rumors are not rumors, but facts. How will the god of the earth react to the current situation? Will he be angry or will he smile? This is a once-in-a-century event, and the reaction of the god of the earth may determine the rise and fall of the boxers for the next hundred years. Therefore, the day of the dragon's face is the thread that strings the scattered beads together. ”

"Even if it provokes the wrath of the earth god, what can the three-armed demon get from it?"

Gollini gave his companion a thumbs up, "That's a good question. I pondered this question for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that if the Earth God was dissatisfied with what the Boxers had done, it would punish its followers, and then, the Church of Worship would continue to weaken, and the decline of the faith would accelerate. The Three-Armed Demon had established its sect in the Deep Plains, and Naku was just one of his growing number of followers. Will it be content to just challenge the god of the swamp? no, it will want more, like countless insatiable creatures of the Abyss. ”

Golini stood up and spread his hands towards his companion, "You see, Naku has been practicing in the Awakening Temple for a while, and he is now under the banner of the Awakening Temple, not the Three-Armed Divine Cult. Except for us, I'm afraid that no one here knows that he is a heretic, many people will think that this is the internal strife of the Bailong Sect, Xin Gang and Yuan Fa are both from the Iron Fist Temple, and the people from the two martial arts fields took the initiative to find Naku, and the Harvest Chamber of Commerce is the biggest customer of the Floating Cloud Forest. All this has become an attack on the Iron Fist Temple by the Awakening Temple, and it is really a bold and clever plan to make enemies with other forces in the royal capital. ”

Marko nodded admiringly, "The Worship Dragon Sect is infighting...... It's a vicious plan indeed, with a distinctly abyssal creature style. ”

Gollini swallowed again, ending the conversation at dawn. He had to wake Fano up. Fano had been running around the royal capital for a day yesterday, and had a great success, and came back at night, exhausted, and fell asleep as soon as he got into bed. But he knew that Fano didn't want to miss the day of the dragon's face. None of the four of them wanted to.

Half an hour later, Golini and his companions appeared at the foot of the Holy Mountain. They chose to stay away from the outskirts of the Floating Cloud Forest, anyway, if there was a miracle on the top of the holy mountain as high as three arrows, they could see it from a distance.

The god of the earth is not their religion, they believe in Venian, the god of the forest. But it's always exciting to witness a miracle. But they waited for two full hours, and the result was jaw-dropping.

As the number of onlookers grew, they were surrounded by a sea of boxers along with a few outsiders, and many women and elderly people began to weep, lamenting that the dragon god no longer favored them.

A man with a strong accent shouted in the lingua franca of Xianglong: "The spirit dragon has abandoned his people, and the god of the sea will protect you!"

"People from the Brilliant Isles have come to recruit followers to Somelo among the boxers, which is interesting. Marco looked to the other side, where the brown-skinned Son of the Poseidon was giving his speech, attracting some boxers to gather around.

"It's terrible, it's hard to find anything worse, even for us. Gollini commented.

Golini's companions couldn't agree more with him. It's very bad.

"If something goes wrong with the God of the Earth, it will be a huge disaster for the entire Ruifeng Continent. I'm afraid it's not just the boxers who are crying, maybe it's our turn. Fano said worriedly.

"The balance is broken. "The fair-skinned Reese has a pair of beautiful green eyes, he wears a brownish-gray linen hood, and his black hair makes him look like a boxer without noticing his face. But by the standards of both the Eta and the boxers, his handsomeness is extraordinary, and his voice is very pleasant. A god does not abandon his people for no reason, and in such an important event, he will find a way to show up. Indeed, we can basically think that there is a very serious trouble in the Qingming God Realm. ”

"It's beyond the reach of any of us. Marco shrugged his shoulders and said he couldn't do anything.

"Delanos will know what to do, he will soon know what is going on today, let him go to the heart. Our stated mandate should not be detracted by this incident. Golini's words were unanimously agreed by his companions.

"Reece and I will take care of the Golden Needle Society. Fano and Marco, you two go back to the docklands. I don't think Naku will be here in the temple district today, his mission here may have been accomplished, and the purpose has been achieved, even far beyond his expectations. I'm worried that he might leave the dragon and we need to do some preparation. ”

"Do you think he'll leave here by sea?" said Marco with an uncertain expression.

"I think that's more likely. A series of recent events have put the entire Xianglong Royal Court on alert, and while they may not know who did all of this, Naku is a man who has been out of the limelight, and his sudden appearance and disappearance will definitely attract the attention of the Torture Pavilion hunters. Now the entry and exit from the city gates are very tight, and all suspicious people are forbidden to leave. I think that if Naku were to leave, he would probably choose to take the sea route, which would be relatively easier. Of course, Naku could also remain with the dragon. Your task is to keep an eye on the ships departing these days. This may be an unnecessary concern, but we still need to guard against this possibility. Questions?"

"Of course not. We get in touch with the officials at the dock right away, and they will be happy to provide attentive service as long as they satisfy their appetite, and I know that very well. Fano smiled deliciously. Golini knew his companions well, and Fano was indeed quite experienced in dealing with such matters, even though he was still very young. The Xianglong Kingdom is very strict in the management of entering and leaving the port, and the ships leaving the port need to go through the relevant procedures at the terminal management office, as long as you get the list of departing ships, things are much easier. The trouble with this task is that time can be tight. However, if the Dragon's Plague was what the Three-Armed Demon was looking forward to, then Naku must be enjoying the sweet fruits of this event somewhere now, and Fano and Marco might have more time to spare.

"Yesterday Fano was not without gains, the people of the Golden Needle Society took the initiative to contact him, and we have an agreement with them. Cooperation with the Golden Needle Society is necessary, as long as Naku can be found. But it's important to remember that we can spend money and reveal less important information, but we can't reveal our true identity and purpose to anyone. Golini looked at his companions with a serious expression.
