Beyond the sea off Sumeru

An ice freezer floats on the surface of the sea,

In the freezer, a white-haired beauty in a white dress closed her eyes,

His hands were clasped around his chest, as if he was protecting something.

There are a few sea beasts roaming around,

seems to be interested in this big ice cube,

As we get closer,

The sea beast put a large block of ice on top of its head,

It was found that this large block of ice didn't seem to hurt them, except that it was a little too cold.

thereupon

A few lively sea beasts used the big ice cube as a toy,

Push to and from the top of the sea.

Until the sea is not far away,

A huge ship is coming this way,

Under the threat of human creation,

The sea beasts hesitated to glance at the large ice cube, and then slowly entered the deep sea.

They've seen too many of their kind, dead because they're too close to the human creatures.

Some of the same kind are out of curiosity, and some of the same kind are with malice,

But without exception, most of the endings are killed by attacks from those human creations.

On the giant ship,

An officer dressed as an apparent Fatui with a telescope in his hand,

Look out over the sea.

"Lord Arecchino's location is near here, drop anchor, send a small boat to start searching."

"Yes, sir."

With the echo of the Fatui crew,

The huge anchor was lowered,

Ship after ship was lowered from the giant ship,

The Fatui began to search the seas.

"I don't know what happened, it's unimaginable that Lord Arechino, who is an executive officer, has lost contact."

"Are there still fewer executives who have lost contact? Since the fall of Lady [Lady] in Inazuma, a few days ago, Lord [Doctor] was evacuated from Sumeru, and Lord [Skirmisher] also lost contact, and now it is Lord [Servant] again, and this is the third executive officer who suddenly lost contact. ”

"That's true, it's not been peaceful lately, but Lord Arechino's signal is still there, much luckier than the fallen [lady] and the missing [skirmish]."

"Alas, I have recently heard from the Department of Foreign Affairs that there has been a great increase in the number of accidents among the soldiers stationed abroad, and I hope that after this operation, I can be transferred back to my homeland."

"Heh, I think too much about you, transfer back to the mainland, do you have any backers?"

“……”

On the giant ship, several people dressed as officers chatted,

On the sea, Fatui soldiers steer small boats, searching for Alexino.

"Bang~"

The Fatui driving the boat felt the sensation of a collision on the side of the ship,

Turning my head to look,

A huge ice floe floated on the surface of the sea, only partially exposed.

"How can there be ice here?"

A doubt appeared in the mind of the Fatui soldiers, and then a glimmer of joy appeared in his eyes,

Most of this unexpected situation means that he has made a special discovery.

With his head out of the boat, he looked at the ice floes beneath the sea,

A looming figure lies quietly in the ice floe.

"It's . Mistress Arechino. ”

The Fatui soldiers rejoiced in their hearts,

Reach for the flare equipped with the boat, pull the fuse, and the flare soars into the sky.

Soon, all the Fatui ships around them approached.

……

"So, this is no longer the sea of Sumeru."

Holding a glass of fire water in his hand, there was still an imperceptible horror in Aricino's eyes.

As an Fatui executive, she has fought against many enemies, many of whom are dangerous.

The Apostles of the Abyss, the High Elemental Beings, and even the evil Pitch Black Monsters,

She's fought against all of them, and even killed them,

But thinking of the elemental titan who was like an ancient titan,

Thinking of that finger that was like a heavenly punishment,

She still had some difficulty calming down.

"That's what it is...... A true god? ”

The lady easily seized the heart of the god of wind,

The god of rock easily surrendered his god heart,

These things made them the executive officers very wrong in their judgment of the power of the gods.

A hint of fear flashed in his eyes,

"No wonder, when the Lord of the Red Sand ascended to the gods, Her Majesty the Empress recalled the doctor, I am afraid that in the eyes of Her Majesty the Empress, the first three seats of the Fatui, who claim to be comparable to the gods, will be difficult to fight against the crown who holds the authority."

Arecino drank the fire water from the cup in one gulp, and looked at the Fatui officers on the side,

"Yes, Lord Alecchino, this place is far away from Sumeru, and the nearest area off the coast of Sumeru is also nearly three days away."

The Fatui officer replied honestly,

Although they were the ones who saved Arecchino, the Fatui were highly hierarchical within themselves,

When Arechino was rescued on board, she automatically became the supreme commander here.

Unless Arecchino makes a very unreasonable request, the Fatui will follow her instructions.

Reaching out and touching the heart of God in his arms, Arecino breathed a sigh of relief,

Now that you've left Sumeru, you don't have to worry about a rock spear or the sun falling from the sky.

"Anchor, return to the winter as quickly as possible, and I will ask for credit for you."

Although he knew in his heart that he was out of danger, Arecino still gave the order to return as quickly as possible,

The heart of God is in her, and if she does not return to the winter for a moment, she cannot relax for a moment.

"Yes, Lord Alechino."

……

Sumeru, Akademiya, Palace of Wisdom,

I didn't know that the Fatui had rescued Arechino beyond the open sea,

Of course, even if you know, Wang Daoyi won't care,

Now that Nahida has surrendered the Heart of God,

Wang Daoyi didn't think about taking it back.

He simply likes to fight the Fatui,

In Port Amos before, one finger forced the Ice Empress to blow herself up, which had already made Wang Dao breathe a bad breath.

At least the interest is earned.

As for the capital, Wang Daoyi can't go to the winter for the time being.

Many people are waiting for the Ice Empress to raise a flag of rebellion against the sky,

Until then, they wouldn't want anyone to attack the Ice Empress.

In a sense, the Ice Empress also knows everyone's thoughts, which is why she will allow the Fatui to ruin the reputation of Solstice on the mainland.

For He knew that the other gods would tolerate these 'insignificant' offenses until the Solstice reignited the flames of war against the skies.

Of course, he really didn't expect a 'Lord of the Red Sands' to suddenly appear.

Take back the clutter of your thoughts,

Wang Daoyi looked at Alhaithham: "So, the shadows have been found out?" ”

"No, it's strictly forbidden to say that the people on these lines have been found out, and as for whether there are others, it can't be confirmed."

Alhaitham said very rigorously.

"......, it doesn't have to be so rigorous." Wang Daoyi said helplessly.

Alhaitham didn't react, anyway, he was only responsible for the little auspicious grass king, and he would resign next month, and he didn't bother to discuss the issue of rigor and imprecision with the lord of the red sand.

"You are doing a good job, Your Excellency the Acting Great Sage, please be sure to deal with this matter within the scope of the least influence."

Wang Daoyi's side, Nahida looked at Alhaitham and told her request,

However, it is clear that the gods make demands on their own people,

But because of the height of the two, there is an inexplicable sense of joy.

Alhaitham nodded: "Please rest assured, Lord Little Auspicious Grass King, I will take care of everything, and in addition, regarding my resignation, please approve it as soon as possible." ”

At the beginning, the Akademiya was in chaos, and Alhaitham agreed to be the acting sage in order for himself to live a quiet life in the future.

Now the Akademiya is on the right track, and even after the corrupt forces have been eliminated, they have begun to come back to life.

Then, it's time for him Alhaitham to return to the life of the people.

Anyway, this bullshit sage who loves to be whom, he doesn't want to be.

"I'm sorry, Alhaithham, there is no answer to the plan for the next Great Sage, you know, we dealt with three Sages and one Great Sage at once, and of the remaining two, only Lord Nafis has regained his mobility."

Faced with Alhaithham's resignation, Nahida gave a very apologetic expression.

No way, there are many talents in the Akademiya, and there are many geniuses, and super geniuses are not nothing.

But if you want to find someone who can be a great sage and can convince the public, it is really difficult.

After all, it is not uncommon for someone like Alhaitham to participate in rescue operations, plan purges, and can handle most things very well, and his force value is not low, but he can't find a second one at all.

"Oh, it's the last month, and before the academy celebration arrives, you'll have to find a new Great Sage, or find another plan."

Although the little auspicious grass king is a god, Alhaitham is not much afraid, he respects the gods, but also hopes that the gods can respect him.

Nahida nodded with some difficulty: "Okay, I'll do my best." ”

On the side, Wang Daoyi looked at Nahida with a helpless look, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile,

In the face of the human Haige, even Nahida could hardly force him to continue to do things he didn't like.

Looking at the helpless look of his god, Alhaitham shook his head slightly: "If there is really no way, you can let Your Excellency Nafis deal with the affairs of the Great Sage first, and at the same time convene the six academies to start the selection of sages, and now there are four academies of sages in the window period, which has affected the operation of the academy." ”

Under the special system of the Akademiya,

The six colleges are run independently,

The sages of their respective schools are the supreme leaders of their respective schools.

It was precisely this situation of high binding between the sage and the academy that at the time of the liquidation of Azar, there were even scholars of the Mingxuan school who feared that the Rido Brahma Academy would be suppressed by the 'new Great Sage', that is, Alhaithham.

This suspicion gradually dissipated after the Akademiya continued to provide resources to the Minglun sect for several months.

From here, it can be seen how much harm is done to the corresponding school without the sage.

Hearing Alhaithham's suggestion, Nahida nodded slightly,

Originally, her idea was that with Alhaitham on top, she could slowly cultivate a few sages, so that in the future, when she ruled Sumeru, the sages below would naturally support him.

But now Alhaitham has repeatedly said that he doesn't want to do it, so he has to do it first.

"Well, the academy celebration is still two months away, you can help until the end of next month, and leave time for Lord Nafis to familiarize himself with the work, so you can do it."

Resign next month,

became dry until the end of next month,

Although Alhaitham didn't want to agree in his heart, he could only sigh slightly when he looked at the big eyes of his gods,

"Well, at the end of next month, that's my last bottom line."

Hearing Alhaithham's agreement, Nahida's face lit up, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Since the matter on your side is over, then I will go back to the desert first, and the net is about to be closed on the other side of the Thousand Gullies Sand, don't make a mistake on your side."

Wang Daoyi stretched his waist and waved his hand, and a dark blue leyline channel appeared beside him.

Alhaitham nodded, "Don't worry about me. ”

Wang Daoyi raised his eyebrows slightly, did not continue to speak to Alhaithham, waved his hand at Nahida, and stepped into the leyline passage.

As soon as Wang Dao left, Nahida smiled at Alhaithham, "Then the rest will be handed over to the acting Great Sage." ”

After saying that, she also left the Palace of Wisdom.

Looking at the empty Palace of Wisdom in front of him, Alhaitham sighed slightly and continued to work,

When did the days become like this?

……

desert

Land of the Three Canals,

"Well, after calculation, this is the best place to set up the energy unit."

A group of scholars no longer have the graceful posture of scholars,

Although Ying suppressed the sandstorm,

But the desert sun also let these scholars know what torment is,

took out a water bag, swallowed it in a gulp, and then wiped his mouth, Kaveh looked at Gritta: "Leader Gritta, the rough design has been completed, and the construction can basically begin. ”

As a well-known scholar of the Mystic School, Kaveh made an indelible contribution to this exploration operation, and vaguely became the leader of these scholars.

Moreover, Kaveh is a person who will not refuse others at all, so in the resistance and enjoyment, his status in the crowd is getting higher and higher.

Yes, resist and enjoy,

He resisted the kindness of everyone,

I also enjoy the feeling of being recognized by everyone.

This is also where Kaveh struggles the most.

If Alhaitham had been here, he would probably have scolded Carveh for being hypocritical.

But here is only Kaveh himself, he can only immerse himself in such entanglements, unable to extricate himself.

On the side, Greta heard Kaveh's words and nodded: "Okay, I've already sent the news to the headquarters, and the engineering troops will come soon." ”

Kaveh nodded, "Okay, before that, we can start preparing the placement point of the energy device first." ”

Greta had a smile in her eyes: "Of course, of course, I can't ask for it." ”

So, at the call of the two leaders,

A large number of people worked on it, and under Kaveh's design, a bizarre 'house' was built.

Some people in the crowd looked at the 'house' with excitement in their eyes.

However, everyone was a little excited, but no ordinary people noticed that something was wrong.

Only the Judge who had been keeping an eye on them had a look of seeing prey in his eyes.

After a busy project,

Everyone camped on the spot and rested,

It's night,

A group of people secretly gathered together,

"Why do you want to act early, doesn't you say wait for the heart of God to be placed before acting?" A shadow asked suspiciously.

Then someone immediately replied: "We got the news that the heart of the god was sealed by the lord of the red sand, if the heart of the god is placed into the energy system, it may need the lord of the red sand to come, just a few of us, but we don't have the ability to steal the heart of the god in front of a god." ”

"Oh, I see, so what do we do now? Go straight to Greta and steal it? ”

"No, we're going to make chaos all the way, and by the way, we're going to get those five fools out, but luckily the discipline officers took those guys with them."

"The other way to Greta, if you can steal it, use the stolen one, if not. Just grab it, this is our last chance, and when the Lord of the Red Sand comes, then everything is over. ”

"Do you get it?"

"Understood."

"Everyone, please be careful, I hope I can go home with you and drink fire water."

“.”

After a slight silence, the shadows broke into pieces and dispersed.

Time passes little by little,

When night came, the camp was already silent,

Aside from the footsteps of the patrol soldiers, there was only the occasional chirping of red vultures.

Suddenly,

"Boom~" A violent explosion sounded,

Wake up the whole camp,

Fierce fires began to spread from the explosion,

Most of the camps in the desert are made of cloth, and in order to protect against wind and sand, cloth is even made of tarpaulin-like material.

The fire raged in almost a few breaths.

Out of his tent,

Ying and Paimon looked shocked,

They never imagined that there would be an explosion here.

On the other side, Greta led a team of soldiers to quickly approach the accident site,

It used to be the place where the tribe stored the explosives used to dig the river.

Now, there is only one giant pit.

"Damn, shit, shit." Greta looked angry, but quickly suppressed it, "You guys, hurry up and put out the fire, no, save people first, the scholars can't have an accident." ”

In the spread of the fire, those tents were designated to be unable to be saved,

But scholars can't do anything.

If a scholar were burned to death, then Greta could imagine that Chisha would definitely be crushed in the face of the Akademwa in the future.

"Yes." The fighters immediately obeyed the order and ran towards the fire.

And by Greta's side, there was finally no one to protect him.

On the other side,

The group came out of Gritta's tent with black faces,

"No, sure enough, after the accident, Greta must have protected the heart of the gods."

"Then go to him, kill him, and take the heart of God."

Now that they've come to this point, the shadows don't care if they're exposed.

The group rushed in the direction Greta had just left,

The blade in his hand was unsheathed.

Soon they saw Greta standing in front of the huge crater,

"Heh, you're finally here."

Looking at the shadows in front of him, a trace of cruelty appeared in Greta's eyes, "Sure enough, you have to fish, and there are a few new faces." ”

Greta noticed that there were shadows in the team in front of him that he hadn't discovered before.

The plan went well, and at the last moment, these shadows couldn't help but jump out.

However, the tribe lost so much explosives and tents, and it was not planned.

In the original plan, everyone thought that these shadows would sneak up on and assassinate Greta, but they didn't expect that these people actually detonated the explosives here, and used this method to divert the guards around Greta.

So much so that there was a loss in Chisha.

"Leader Greta, we don't want to be an enemy of Chisha, hand over the heart of the gods, we can let you go." The leading shadow opened his mouth and shouted,

I know it's impossible, but what if I can solve it with words.
