The moon stars are scarce.

In the sky above the Chaos Sea, far from land, a huge black dragon grabbed a gray-white twelve-sided water crystal with its hind paws, and flew quickly in a certain direction.

Soon, an island appeared on the sea in front of him, and the black dragon shook its wings and accelerated, landing in the center of the island in the blink of an eye.

As it fell, the gray-white crystal was inserted into the soil.

Invisible energy emanated from it, sweeping across the island. The island's perennially verdant tropical plants began to wither little by little. The crystal itself has gradually changed from gray to light green.

The black dragon Daknis looked at the crystal that was automatically recharged, and his spiritual power condensed, and an illusory tall man figure appeared in front of the fine scales in the center of his eyebrows.

Then the black dragon's whole body was filled with black mist, turning into a huge shadow. A thin stream quickly branched out from the shadows, and little by little it channeled itself into the illusory figure.

The figure gradually solidified, the black dragon disappeared, and the humanoid Daknis opened his red eyes, his eyes full of malice and tyranny.

He took out a special mobile phone from the pocket of his black suit and dialed the unique number:

"The operation failed, and the point in Jiangbei Province was not taken. The reason is that one of the ninth-order demonic beasts I affected with the crystal had an accident and did not show up.

And this time it was Huang Mingtao who came, and the other two ninth-order demonic beasts failed to hurt him in the wheel battle, so I finally chose to hide and did not show up. ”

The familiar metallic rubbing voice quickly came from the other end of the line:

"I already know the results, and I know why the venomous horned Neptune didn't show up......"

"Why?!" Darknes interrupted angrily and eagerly, interjecting on purpose.

"The reason is that of your kindred, the golden dragon who was paraded in the Xuan Kingdom for the rite of passage - she had an encounter with the Neptune snake." The sound of metal grinding continues what he said.

"Elvia Remidios...... I hate the golden dragons, their aura of light makes them sick! Daknis gritted his teeth.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and the sound of metal grinding sounded again:

"Dragons live a long lifespan, and a rite of passage may last for a hundred years. So it is very likely that she will stay in Xuanguo for more than ten or twenty years...... It's always a destabilizing factor, and maybe it's time to fix her. ”

This time, however, the tyrannical Daknis uncharacteristically did not support:

"It's not easy to kill a dragon, and the golden dragon is especially strong in size and vitality. The most important thing is - she is the only daughter of Queen Renoi...... The power of the Golden Dragons is far beyond your imagination, little human reptile. ”

"The power of the Golden Dragons can also be a boost...... But careful planning is needed, so let's talk about it. The metal rubbing voice on the other end of the phone. ……

Xuanguo Yanjing, the headquarters of the Martial Arts Holy Alliance.

The figure of the ninth-order martial saint Huang Mingtao appeared at the door of the conference hall. In the conference hall, there were already old people and two middle-aged people, and a young woman in formal clothes was respectfully pouring tea for them.

"Mingtao is here?" A short, thin old man sitting in the first seat glanced at the door and bowed.

"Well, it ended a little late, so the teacher waited for a long time." Huang Mingtao bent down slightly and performed a simple etiquette.

"Hehe, it's okay, a few of our old guys have just arrived." The short, thin old man smiled.

The old man's name is Shi Liutang, the current leader of the Martial Dao Saint Alliance, and the ninth-order peak martial saint in the exhaustion period.

The Martial Dao Holy Alliance, on the other hand, is a high-level martial arts organization in the Xuan Kingdom, with some semi-official nature, and its members are all martial artists above the seventh order.

This organization is composed of 9 active martial saints (in the full period) and 12 retired martial saints (in the exhaustion period) to discuss and decide many important matters. In normal times, there is a standing council to deal with emergencies.

Since the active martial saints have important positions, the members of the Standing Council have always been held by retired martial saints.

The members of the Standing Committee gathered at the headquarters and invited the two official leaders and Huang Mingtao, who had just finished dealing with the Jiangbei beast tide, and there was an important matter to discuss.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's have a meeting." Shi Liutang changed his words and spoke solemnly.

The female clerk on the side immediately put down the teapot in her hand and picked up the meeting notebook.

"The last two plagues are very unusual. It stands to reason that many monsters will hibernate in winter, which is a safe period, and there are very few beast tide-like disasters, but now, the two beast tides are only half a month apart!

And every time, there are multiple ninth-order demonic beasts appearing...... Mingtao, you just came back from the scene, let's ignore the specific situation. ”……

After Chen Qing woke up, the bus drove for almost a minute again, and street lights gradually appeared on the road, and the bright lights of the city in the distance were already faintly visible.

Ten minutes later, the bus finally stopped at the entrance of Toto National University.

The two reception students of the University of Tokyo got up and guided the three exchange groups to get off the bus in turn......

Chen Qing is now on the asphalt road in front of the East Gate and sees an unprecedented scene:

The neon lights on the left side of Toto National University are brightly lit with various modern high-rise buildings. To its right, however, is a large complex of quiet ancient buildings, with only the faint glow of the low street lamps.

The same city, with the Great Center of the East as the dividing line, is like the world of two eras.

Many members of the exchange group were stunned when they saw this scene. The girl from the country of Sakura who received it simply opened her mouth and introduced:

"We, Sakura no Kuni, have retained all the buildings of the old capital and built a new capital next to it, and together they are the current capital of Sakura no Kuni, Higashido City.

Visiting the ancient capital during the day and the new capital at night can be regarded as truly appreciating the whole picture of the eastern capital. But today, you are tired from the journey, so rest early, and I will take you to experience the nightlife of the Eastern Capital tomorrow night. ”

She spoke in Xuan Chinese—even if there were not only Xuan Guoren, but also Gaoshan Guoren. Because whether it is the people of Takayama Country or Sakura Country, they can listen to and read Xuan Chinese.

In ancient times, the country of Takayama and the country of Sakura were both vassal states of the Xuan Kingdom, so the Chinese language has been the lingua franca of the Eastern Continent since ancient times.

Even though the Xuan Kingdom declined for a period of time a hundred years ago, the two countries were separated from their subordinate status and adopted the Western Continent as the lingua franca. But now that the Xuan Kingdom has risen again, the Xuan Chinese language has returned to the compulsory courses of the two countries.

The unrestrained Sakura no Kuni female student gave a brief introduction to the situation in the Eastern Capital, gathered everyone's attention back, and then took everyone to the Eastern Assembly Hall to arrange accommodation.

Just like on the cruise, Tokyo University also provides accommodation for two people to share a room. However, the interior of the room is definitely much more luxurious than that on the cruise ship, and the single bed is as wide as the double bed, which is still very comfortable.
