There was a thunderstorm in the sky, and the roar was accompanied by electric snakes from time to time. The sky fortress made of steel was shrouded in this manic rain curtain.
However, even such bad weather did not dampen the enthusiasm of the people.
Because today is the last day of the Rising Stars Competition, and it is also the most important day of the Rising Stars Competition. After nearly a year of planning, the finals of the Rising Stars Competition will be held today.
Since Angel has accepted the task of being a special judge, he naturally has to complete this task from beginning to end.
Greya left together with Angel. Because there was still some time before the game started, they did not rush there in a hurry. Instead, they slowly flew towards the Infinite Battle Tower at their normal speed.
A layer of purification force field was attached to Angel's body, preventing rainwater from invading. Greia was holding a black umbrella, floating in the air with the wind and rain, looking quite comfortable.
"The sound of rain hitting the umbrella is my favorite sound." Greya suddenly said.
Angel's thoughts were still racing, but he was pulled back by Grea's voice and looked over curiously.
"When I was very young, before I was identified as a genius, I lived in a mortal country. It was a small town with three rainy seasons a year, and it rained almost half of the week."
Leia's eyes were a little misty in the rain, "When I was born, I had problems with my legs and couldn't walk. So my father would hold me when I went out. Whenever it rained, I would hold him up for him.
umbrella."
"Since then, I especially like to listen to the sound of rain falling on the umbrella, which makes me feel at ease."
Greya said quite emotionally.
Angel was a little surprised that Greya would suddenly talk about her past in front of him.
He thought that wizards would not engage in superficial friendship, and Grea's words were probably an indirect indication of their friendship.
"You feel at ease because this sound reminds you of your father's warmth?" Angel asked.
Greya smiled: "Maybe, anyway, I didn't go into it, and I don't plan to go into it."
"What happened next?"
"What happened next?"
Angel: "For example, what happened to your father later?"
"He died not long after." Greya said calmly: "He was not killed by anyone, it was just an accident. When he went out hunting, he accidentally slipped and fell and hit his head. I
Remember, it was raining so heavily that day too.”
Angel looked at Greia and suddenly didn't know what to say. Should he comfort her or apologize for not asking about these past events? Greya seemed to have noticed Angel's strangeness and smiled:
"This happened hundreds of years ago. If you don't ask me, I have forgotten it myself."
"As a wizard, the longer I live, the weaker my feelings become. It's rare that something can stir up my emotions, so I like to think deeply about it." Greya paused and turned her head: "So
Ah, you don’t have to care about my emotions."
Angel took a deep look at Greia, nodded, and stopped talking.
Greya enjoyed listening to the sound of falling rain. This state of two-phase silence lasted until they flew near the Infinite Battle Tower.
Although the heavy rain is still heavy and the rumbling thunder continues, no matter how loud the rain or thunder is, it can't cover up the noise nearby.
After all, it was the finals of the Rising Stars Competition, and the heavy rain could not dampen the enthusiasm of the audience. Even if the game had not started yet, and even if many people did not buy tickets, the sound of the thunderstorm had already been drowned out by the audience gathered outside the Infinity Battle Tower.
Under this situation, Greya could no longer enjoy the sound of rain falling on the umbrella. She also returned to her former self from emotional silence.
"Why didn't you see Charlie and Azaz today?" Angel asked casually when he saw Greya waking up from her immersion.
"Azaz came to the Infinite Battle Tower early in the morning, while Charlie went to find her mentor."
Angel was stunned for a moment before he realized that although the Water Pattern Witch was in seclusion to develop alchemy works, she had also accepted the task of being a special judge and should be out of seclusion during the finals if nothing unexpected happened. Charlie went to see her and also
normal.
"By the way, Allen came over this morning." Greya said suddenly: "He came to see you, but I asked him to go back."
Angel was still in the Wilderness of Dreams in the morning, but he didn't know about this: "He came back from Paradua? Did he find any clues in the deserted city?"
Greya shook her head: "He seemed to have specifically searched for information about the Germinal Church, but he couldn't find it. He came to you because he wanted to ask about his sister."
Greia: "You don't need to worry about him. I have already told him not to ask about Germination anymore."
"When you have never seen the abyss, the more you don't let him get close, the more he will stare into the abyss." Angel pondered: "After all, Allen is from your candy house, you should be more familiar with him. If
One day, when his self-control reaches a certain level, you can actually tell him the truth within limits."
Greya nodded. Indeed, it is better to block things than to open them up. However, the premise is that Allen has the courage and ability to bear the news.
Thinking of this, Grea couldn't help but glance at Angel. She remembered that Angel and Allen came out on the same boat. They were obviously similar in age, but their circumstances and mentality were completely different.
As they talked, they arrived at the Infinite Battle Tower.
After entering the tower, Angel and Greia parted ways. Because Angel was a special judge, he had a special passage for judges, while Greia went to the Infinite Arena first.
The hall outside was very lively, with people coming and going, and there was a lot of noise. But when Angel approached the passage dedicated to judging, it suddenly became quiet.
The resident judges should have arrived a long time ago, and this passage is probably only used by Angel and a few special judges. Now, there is only Angel.
Not long after walking in the dark passage, Angel saw a man leaning against the wall not far away.
When Angel walked to him, he paused.
The sound of Angel's footsteps successfully made the boy who was immersed in the book raise his head. When his confused eyes came into focus, the boy was filled with an innocent smile.
"Master Super Dimension."
Angel looked at the open door next to him, which led directly to the backstage of the contestants. There was only one game today, so this boy was naturally one of the contestants in today's game.
"Philosopher" Onassis.
Angel met him here last time, but he didn't expect to meet him again today.
"I'll see you before the cloud vines bloom." Angel remembered Onassis's whisper last time and replied smoothly.
Onassis was stunned for a moment, but soon his eyes flashed with joy: "Sir, do you still remember this sentence?"
"Of course, I'm also looking forward to listening to the sound of cloud vines and flowers blooming under the distant starry sky."
