The sky is full of stars, like shining gems on a black gauze ribbon, and the mountains at your feet are undulating, like a giant python.

When Gehr and Camerita climbed out of the exit, they found themselves on a platform the size of a playing field, surrounded by steep peaks, except for a two-man wide opening at the edge of the platform on the north side, where a path could be seen that ran down the mountain outside.

Gehr and the tunnel exit they walked was a little on the edge of this mountain pass, Gehr walked a few steps to the edge of the mountain pass, and as far as the eye could see, there was a large black forest below, like a dense and inseparable shadow, and behind the woods, there were fields as neat as small black spots, and as they continued to move forward, a huge black shadow stood at the end of the line of sight.

That's Emmenas.

Through the tunnel, they actually came directly from the city of Amenas to the hidden platform of this mountain range, although Gehr had always felt that the angle of the tunnel was tilting towards the wall when he followed Buda, but he could not really get here This is something he could not have imagined, but compared to the huge underground transportation system of Amenas, it is not unacceptable that such a tunnel appears.

"Where is this? Didn't you say by boat?"

Gehr shouted loudly to the tavern keeper, the wind at the mouth of the mountain was very strong, and he kept making a loud whining sound as he passed through the mountain pass, not only blowing his red hair backwards, but also his robe made a sound like whipping, and no one who was in a slightly lower body could stand here.

In this case, the only way to communicate with others is to shout loudly, otherwise you can't hear them clearly.

"By boat......, of course," Buda shouted. However, his lung capacity was evidently beginning to weaken as much as his age, and only the first few words of a sentence passed through the turbulent mountain wind and entered Gehr's ears.

Faced with this situation. Gehr could only walk over and go to Buda and repeat the words.

This time for Gehr's question. Buda didn't answer directly, but took out a brass pocket watch from his bosom, opened it and looked at it for a while, before turning his head to look at Gehr: "Just wait a minute, it's almost time." ”

At this time, there was a sound coming from the nearby mountain rocks, and in such a strong wind, if it weren't for Geer's extremely keen senses, he wouldn't have been able to detect it at all.

A moment later. Camerita also noticed this, and after the two looked at each other, she took a few steps to the side, giving herself enough time to react.

About ten seconds later, a hole appeared in the mountain rock where the sound came from, and then the head of a gray-haired middle-aged man stuck out of it.

At this time, Buda only found out about the situation, but apparently he knew who the other party was, and took the initiative to meet the gray-haired middle-aged man after he crawled out of the hole. And gave each other a warm hug.

"Thierry, it's been a long time, it's been almost three years. Buda patted the other man on the back, and Ha Lu Ha Da laughed.

"yes. It's been about a long time, man, I came here a year ago with the expectation of meeting you. As a result, I still didn't see you after the last day. The middle-aged man named Thierry also smiled and patted Buda on the back, apparently as a way of greeting them.

"No way. Now there are fewer and fewer good seedlings, not to mention every collection cycle. Even if you can't find a person worth cultivating in a year or two, it's not a strange thing, and it's difficult for us to find the right person at the same time, and it's normal to not be able to meet them. Buda smiled, let go of Tieri, and looked behind him at the entrance to the cave, where a young man, probably just an adult, was crawling out of the hole.

"Looks like you're lucky, how many did you bring this time?"

Thierry smiled smugly and stretched out his right hand to gesticulate: "Three." ”

"That's good, you've completed all the indicators for this review period this time, and you don't need to worry about it until the next review period arrives. Buda said with some amazement.

"Yes, this time the luck is so good, I can rest assured in the past ten years, and I don't have to worry about it next time. Thierry's face was full of lightness.

"You want to step down?"

"Well, in a few years, Kyle will be an adult, and this will be left to him, and I can easily come down. ”

"Kyle, your youngest son, what about Aydin and Gago?"

"They weren't interested in it, so they left it to themselves, as long as one of the family members inherited it. ”

"Yes. Buda nodded, and said with emotion: "I have to hold on for another evaluation period, and strive to cultivate a qualified heir within this time, but I don't know if Lu Dao can survive it." Look, that guy from Aveton doesn't look like he's coming again today, as far as I know, he hasn't found a suitable talent for five years, and this evaluation period is estimated to be over, and his family will be disqualified from the next review. ”

"Don't mention this, didn't you bring two this time, then you can almost pass the evaluation period this time. ”

"It's not the same. Buda shook his head and smiled bitterly, then said softly: "Nice strangled him." ”

"Huh?" Thierry paused for a moment, glancing over Buda and Geletta for a moment, retracting, "Fare." Tieri patted Buda on the shoulder, he knew very well that Nisler was transported to the Ring of El from Buda, Buda had invested a lot of effort in Nisler, the relationship between the two was like friends and father and son, and relying on Nisler's care over the years, Buda's family was also smooth. Now that Nisler has died like this, it can be said that Buda's family has lost an important pillar, and the losses brought to Buda are incalculable.

"They're the last ones to be entrusted to Nisler?" Thierry gestured to the two Gehrs on the side.

"Hmm. Buda nodded.

"But one Faris Oath Ring can only be sent to one person, and is there another Preparer?"

"There's something going on here...... Someone is coming, let's talk about it later. As he spoke, Buda suddenly looked at a clearing, towards which Thierry and Geer also looked.

At the edge of the platform, a little farther away from them, the stone slab on the ground moved sideways, revealing another hole.

Immediately after, a big man with a beard and a sleeveless shirt walked out, and the first time he came out was to look at the people on Buda's side vigilantly, and after a while, as if confirming the identity of the other party, he turned around and shouted a few times at the entrance of the cave, and then a half-old boy crawled out.

"It's Lionheart's. Buda whispered, "It's okay, our El Ring has a normal relationship with them, but it's not hostile. ”

"Well, I'll arrange my people first, and we'll talk later. ”

At this time, all the people brought by Thierry had already walked out of the secret passage, a total of two men and one woman, all of whom were about the same age as Gehr. Tieri greeted Buda and walked towards the three boys and girls, as if to give them some orders.

"You two will rest and wait a while. Seeing this, Buda also turned to Gel and Camerita, and sat down in a place where the mountain rock could block the wind.

Gehr and Carmelita did so, sat down, and waited quietly.

"Those people are also going to the Ring of El like us?" Geer observed for a while, Thierry's group and Buda were together, and the two sides were very close, while the bearded man from Lionheart Castle kept a considerable distance from Buda and Thierry, and had no intention of coming.

"The young man who came up with you was on the boat with you, and the one who came out first, like me and Thierry, was just a manager and wouldn't go on the boat with you. Buda explained.

"Well, then there will be a lot of people on board?" Gell understood what Buda meant, he and the likes of Thierry were only responsible for guiding the people who got on the ship here, and it didn't seem to be just a stronghold of the Ring of El as he thought, but rather a shared area by many organizations.

"I don't know about this, the number of people on the ship is not fixed every time, there are more or less, as long as the manager brings it, it is generally about the same age as you. You will know the details when you get on the boat, and someone will explain it to you. Buda shook his head.

At this time, several secret passages appeared on the platform, and some people walked out one after another, and for a while, the platform, which was cold and silent not long ago, suddenly became a little lively.

Most of the people who came out of the secret passage were a combination of managers with one or two young people, and at most one manager with four young people.

After leaving the secret passage, except for a few managers who knew each other and had a good relationship, they sat down with the young people, and all of them found a corner away from the others and sat quietly.

In this way, more than ten minutes passed. Suddenly, Gehr felt an inexplicable sense of oppression, as if something heavy was pressing on his heart, and the wind that kept sweeping the platform became stronger.

"Alright, the ship is coming. Buda stood up and looked up.

Just for a moment, the people on the platform felt this situation, and they all stood up and looked up at the sky above the platform.

Gehr and Camerita, like the others, made the gesture of looking up at the sky set against the backdrop of night and the stars.

Whew~~Whew~~

A sound like heavy breathing suddenly appeared on the platform out of thin air, like pulling a huge blower, and with this sound, the wind on the platform suddenly burst into flames, and the person who blew could hardly fully open their eyes.

At this moment, the platform suddenly darkened.

A huge black shadow completely occupied the sky above the platform, but a moment ago, there was still an endless night sky above the platform, this abrupt way of jumping out of the void made everyone who saw it for the first time have an extremely strong sense of shock.

At this time, the black shadow began to slowly descend towards the cloud.

"Everyone, back away, empty the middle!" (To be continued......)
