Chapter 170: Sky City
A deep black sky fills the sky.
Even the distant horizon is blurred in such a night.
The white porcelain-like moonlight only shows a light corner.
Then countless points of light broke through the night and came out, shining with phosphorus brilliance, weaving into a complex galaxy.
The humid humidity of the night spreads through the air, bringing with it an ethereal mist.
In the capital of the Lanxi Kingdom, there is a high-risk clock tower.
It was built decades ago.
The bronze bell stands silently in place.
It has completely decayed, like an old man on the verge of death.
The bell can no longer sound as clearly and loudly as it did when it was first built.
Around it, there are debris scattered from its body.
"Crunch, crunch."
A pair of feet stepped on it, and under the force of the force, the residue became even more sparse.
"Teacher, the student has something unclear."
"Say it."
A black shadow stood beside the bell, saluting respectfully to the empty place, chanting in his mouth.
With the answer that followed, an old warlock emerged from the void.
"The teacher has been preparing for this for many years and has put a lot of effort into it."
"But why should the final fruits be entrusted to an irrelevant person?"
The self-proclaimed student Shadow seems to be a little upset about this.
He was the one who followed the teacher from the very beginning.
He witnessed with his own eyes how long the teacher had been planning for this matter and how much effort he had put in.
The preparation time alone took decades!
But when it was time to harvest, the teacher gave his heart and soul to others.
Let someone else decide the outcome.
"Karman, how long have you been with me?"
"Teacher, it's been two hundred and seventeen years."
"Then you should know more clearly that I have a reason to do things, and it is impossible to let go of nothing."
"Teacher, the student is ashamed, it is the student who is stupid."
The shadow bowed his head to the old warlock.
"Carman, not to mention ......"
"When did I say that I would give the fruits to others."
The teacher overlooks the entire capital city from a high vantage point and has a panoramic view.
It was already the middle of the night, and countless points of light were slowly extinguishing in the capital, as if they were gradually being eaten away by the darkness, and only a few places were left to be bright all night.
Outside the capital, it's hard to see a touch of green.
Only endless yellow sand swept over the town that surrounded the capital.
With little to no rain, it is extremely difficult for plants to survive.
Then the land gradually became desertified, which led to a further decline.
Now there is not much vegetation left in the kingdom of Lanxi.
Even the wells that carry hope are drying up at a rapid rate.
If you compare the kingdom of Lancy thirty years ago to the present.
No one will recognize this as the same place at all.
"Now the fruits of many years are in his hands, and the teacher won't let me interfere more."
"How do you ensure the smooth implementation of the plan?"
This is exactly what students are most confused about.
If you don't control the direction of that person's actions, you can't ensure that the plan is carried out.
You must know that those three peas contain the vitality of an entire area in the past twenty years in the Lanxi Kingdom.
"High in the Sky"
If there is any damage......
The dark shadow did not dare to imagine the terrible consequences.
"Kaman, I'll teach you another lesson."
"Teacher, please speak, students listen attentively."
The black shadow bowed his head slightly, listening carefully to the teacher's words.
"You know, there are many things in this world that we must never touch."
"That's a consequence we can't afford to take."
The teacher looked at the small room in the distance.
It seems that he saw three peas thrown into the ground.
They begin to sprout from life, rapidly pulling out a wisp of emerald green sprouts.
Then the second wisp, the third wisp......
The white roots are exploring all the way down, densely intertwined.
The seedlings of the three peas are close to each other and bite together.
Finally, a state similar to a rope is formed.
"This kind of thing can only be done by special people, and they will not be eaten by it."
"We're not qualified enough."
After the seedlings are entangled with each other, they begin to explore the sky.
And their rhizomes go deep into the ground.
"Teacher, you've crossed that threshold, isn't that enough?"
The Shadow was particularly shocked by the teacher's words.
In his mind, the teacher has always represented a symbol of strength.
But the sentence he uttered himself was inadequate, almost shattering his worldview, like glass falling on hard ground.
Or the crumbs he stepped on.
"Kaman, we're all just insignificant supporting characters in our time."
"As long as it gently stirs up a gust of wind."
"We'll be knocked out of the water like ants, with no place to bury."
"Strength in the face of the great waves of the times, it's just that I can struggle for a while to witness the opening after the storm."
"Only those who ride the wind and waves are the center of the world."
At the end of the words, the teacher's tone was a little unwilling, but it was quickly disguised.
Who doesn't want to be one of those people who manipulate the times.
But the time that belonged to him passed thousands of years ago.
He's just an old antique from a previous era.
"There are a lot of people who want to change all of this."
"They gathered all their strength, thinking that the world could make the rules in their hands."
"But the end ......"
The teacher seemed to recall something, and a flash of remembrance flashed in his eyes.
But then he sighed softly.
There are endless emotions in it, relief, melancholy, and sorrow......
All kinds of emotions are intertwined.
"Teacher, let's make this plan now."
"Do you just want to change all this......
The shadow hesitated for a moment, then said in a slur manner.
After hearing this, the teacher looked stunned, silent, and speechless for a long time.
His students were right.
If he didn't want to change his fate, why did he bother to make such a plan.
Obviously, there are so many lessons from the past, and I already know the ending.
But he still chose to hit his head against the south wall.
"I'm sorry, Kaman."
"Teacher, you don't have to blame yourself for this. From the moment you pick up a student, I've decided to follow you all the time. ”
Jack's yard.
The vines grew thicker and thicker, and countless green leaves stretched outward.
The green leaves are uneven, but you can barely tell that they are arranged in a regular pattern.
They form a spiral staircase that surrounds the vines for people to climb.
The tips of the vines stretched straight into the sky, and they grew faster and faster.
It will lead itself and others to find the city in the sky hidden in history.
