At dinner time, Xi Ke made an appointment with Xiao Ji to eat together.

At the dinner table, Xi Ke told Xiao Ji about the corpse with an umbrella. Xiao Ballast reacted by asking Rick, "Are you going to resign?"

"Don't. He said, "What's going on with you, is your job all right?"

"I'm quitting. 」

"Huh?" said Rick in surprise and made an impolite sound.

"I'm handing in my resignation now, and I'm leaving when the school semester is over. 」

"You've long since graduated. Ah, is it the end of Gahna's semester?"

"Hmm. 」

"What's going on?

"Nope. Xiao Xuan's face tightened: "Yesterday I had tea with her, and she proposed a difficult plan that can be said to go against the trend of China's higher academic circles. 」

"Huh?"

To achieve this project, she spent more than a year traveling around the Greater Altaro area to conduct field research. 」

Hearing this, he frowned and asked, "Including Nekukamina?"

"Yes. 」

"Isn't that dangerous?"

"But Nirvana is the birthplace of the Ethero culture, and we can't help but go to it. 」

"Can't you advise her to go back in a few years?" at least when the civil war is over?

"She said that war can cause a lot of damage to culture, and it will be too late if you don't go. Xiao Zhen said with a sad face, "I want to go to the 'rescue'." 」

Rick noticed that although Xiao Zhen looked annoyed, it was an important task that the man was going to accomplish, because it was difficult, and he was troubled by thinking about how to do it. It's not that you don't want to do that and get annoyed. The difference between the two is whether there is a sparkle of determination in the bottom of the eye.

There is that light in the bottom of the ballast's eyes.

Xi Ke understood what Xiao Zhen was going to do, and he showed great admiration, and stretched out a hand to shake Xiao Ji: "I want to come back alive." 」

"I'll definitely come back alive with her. Xiao Zhen wants to go with Gahna.

In the preparation room of the Apostrasal Day, Tairuo saw a scene that shocked him greatly.

All the Knights of the Illuminated Sun are now assembled in the preparation room, and the external patrols are handed over to the Holy Shield.

In the hall of the preparation room, after the announcement of the child's safe birth had been announced, the cheers grew quieter after a while, and Galag stood on one side of the table, Mono on the other side, glaring at each other, and the knights standing behind Mono and rubbing their fists as if to help him.

Mono raised his left hand, swung it from right to left, and then pulled his fist to his side, making a fierce gesture of emphasis: "I think we should go out for the rest of our time in Sako!"

The knights behind Mono shouted, "Get out and play! Go out and play!"

"Do you think I'll allow it?" Gallag straightened, but his head lowered slightly, and he raised his eyes to glare at Mono, exuding the terrifying majesty of his leader.

As soon as he glared, the knights behind Mono fell silent, holding their heads to each other for comfort.

Mono will never give up! He clenched his hands into fists, stepped forward, and said loudly in a strong and hearty voice, "Anyway, we will all die when we return home, so there is no reason not to play now!"

Mo's use of such a positive tone to tell the reality of their death surprised Taruo.

The knights behind Mono were encouraged by Mono's proclamation and began to make noise again: "We're going to play!"

Garag took a half-step back and raised his left hand slightly to make a blocking stance, giving Mono the advantage.

The fatal blow was delivered by Flomi. She opened a slit in the delivery room, revealing her eyes red from crying, and whispered, "Lord Galag, are you going to go out and play? 」

Galag immediately smiled at Flomi, "I was going to give them a vacation. Of course you can come, go out for a walk and blow the wind. 」

The knights shushed at Galag, were glared at and then fell silent again.

As soon as Gallag turned to face the knights, including Mono, he straightened his face again: "It's too conspicuous for a large group of men to go out, and half of them are disguised as women. Dress up as a couple, and it's also convenient to separate up. Your Highness, I will help him disguise. 」

So the knights made paper sticks in a lively atmosphere and prepared to draw lots to determine the gender. After making it and putting it in the box, Mono immediately took it and handed it to Galag with both hands quite respectfully, "Teacher, please first. 」

"You decide with your guessing fist!" Garrag's angry uppercut knocked over the box.

When Tairuo saw this scene, he couldn't stop laughing. He had thought that this place would become lifeless, but he didn't expect these people to be so energetic. This kind of open-mindedness made him admire it very much. This is exactly what he has always vaguely felt, the true Illumination Day temperament.

"Hey, do you want to be our guide?" said Mono as he walked over to his chair and smiled at Taruo.

"Of course. Tauro smiled and agreed.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the preparation room of the Holy Shield, Banato huddled on the couch with his head in his hands. Akor had just told him that Tauro had handed in the application for freedom of movement and had decided not to return until the day of the Apocalypse.

"Is this going well or not?" Bannato spread his hands, but his fingers flexed, "Why do I feel a sense of loss?"

"Just get used to it. Akorne patted Bunnatu on the shoulder, "I'll be ready to listen to you if you need to." 」

Seren, who had just come down from a shift change, walked into the preparation room, intending to take a nap. At this time, he saw a pencil sketch on the table, and his face immediately changed. He gasped, pointed to the picture and asked, "Where did this picture come from?"

"Mono painted it on the day of the Aillumination, and he said that he saw this man nearby, and thought it was suspicious, and kept a record. 」

Seren shook his head in disbelief, "This is the one who brought Xike to the Night Order back then!"

In the moonlight reflected by the snow, the face of this person in Seren's memory, after sixteen years, was still exactly the same, and there was not even the slightest sign of aging.

After listening to Seren's words, Banato took the picture, and pulled Seren, and went to the hand of magic.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the Magic Hand Preparation Room, Toushabai was lying on the **, reading the inspection report of the umbrella he had just gotten. Because the man holding the umbrella was listed as a first-class zombie, the umbrella that Xi Ke brought was suddenly ranked as the highest priority.

The results confirmed Toushabai's observations at the scene. A dead man's genes were found on the umbrella. "Dijill" was the man's name when he died. He died more than seven years ago in a personal feud brawl, and because it was a criminal case, the police had his genetic file in their hands. The police also sent Digier's personal information, and the smiling man in the photo, in addition to his more lively temperament and less like a madman, was indeed a man with an umbrella.

Sure he's a zombie. The Magic Hand gave him a code name: The Abyss.

Half an hour later, Banato dragged Serense in and asked Serense to repeat what he had said to Thosabeth.

Hearing this, Toushabai rubbed his temples in annoyance, "Are the remnants of the Night Order involved in the Necromancer?"

One of the members of the Magic Hand came in with a slice of fruit, he was very old, and even though the retirement age of the battle mage was relatively old, he was almost retiring. Thoshabeth never let him fight on the front lines, instead offering his experience to help integrate magic and support in the rear.

He looked at the painting that Serian had put on the ** sheet, showing the few teeth left, and laughed, "Someone has seen it again?"

"Huh?" Tho Shabai lowered an eyebrow.

"This face is an urban legend. I heard that since the founding of the People's Republic of China, people have been seeing this person, appearing at the Prime Minister's inauguration ceremony, appearing at the top of the building - it is absolutely impossible to climb up there, and who else did not invite him to the wedding ceremony, but later photographed. My teacher built a file for him back then, and it took a lot of effort to track it, but there was no follow-up. That's the face!"

"The history of the Order of the Night, presumably around fifty years, right?" Banato said. According to official investigations, the Order of the Night was founded shortly after the Great War, during the period when the True God missionaries attacked Sasa in a big way.

"Yes—" Thosa pressed against his temple. The founding of the country was much earlier.

Serense looked at Banatou and then at Thosabe, and said, "We must not have found something very good, right?"

"Tell me a common sense. Thoshabai exhaled, "The information collected by the Magic Hand before the founding of the country was almost burned by the flames of war. There is no way to determine how long this man actually appeared in history. 」

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

It wasn't until he was about to leave that he found a chance to meet his father. His father met his daughter in the box specially cleared by his subordinates.

As soon as he came in, Shuilonu said, "I'm in an hour's car. 」

Schuilonu's father, Rand, was slightly chubby, his eyes squinted into a line when he smiled, his somewhat thinning hair was neatly combed back, and he wore a suit with a silver brooch pinned to the country's snowflake coat of arms. At first glance, he may not seem threatening, but anyone with a bit of alertness can read in his smile that he can be very vicious if someone insists on going against him despite his friendly gestures.

When he saw Shuilono, his smile on his daughter was different, full of love: "I heard your Aunt Shanova complain. It took a lot of effort for your mother to reassure her. 」

"I didn't do anything to ruin the doorway. Shuilonu puffed up his chest and said.

Rand laughed, "I know you're not that kind of girl, 'over there' notified me last night, I know it." 」

"I don't want to live with her anymore. Shuilonu said, "She actually locked me out at night and made me hang out in the middle of the night!"

"It's very lively here, you're so fierce that no man dares to touch you, right?" Rand laughed.

But Shuilonu knew that Rand was actually unhappy with Shanova doing that. She doesn't have to worry about Shanova anymore.

"Rick is there too, isn't it?" Rand asked.

"Less tendons. Shuilonu said, she paused, and then asked, "Dad, you often have to look at people when you do this work, right?"

"yes. 」

"Can you give me some advice?"

"Don't judge a person by anything other than personality. 」

Schulonu nodded, "This time I'm going to find like-minded friends in college, and I'm going to ignore those 'empty bag girls' anymore. 」

Rand burst out laughing, and his laughter was very loud, "You are very beautiful, so it is easy for people who only look at your appearance to think of you as one of their kind. As for the others, when they see a beautiful woman, they think, 'A beautiful woman can't have a head!'"

"yes!" Shuilonu stomped his foot in anger.

Rand turned the subject back again, "So, what do you feel about Rick?"

"I think it's pretty good!" said Shuilonu honestly.

Rand suddenly panicked, lowered his voice and said, "Daughter, Dad has money to support you, so don't be in a hurry to get married, it's okay to pick slowly, don't worry. 」

Chang Shuilonu laughed. In this place where there are no outsiders, her laughter is no longer small and crisp, but like his father, loud and full of power.
