Shan supported her chin with her hands, tilted her head and watched the snowflakes falling.
When the snowflakes fell heavier and heavier, Shan looked at the deep and low clouds in the sky and whispered softly: "The deadline is coming."
"To be precise, there's still a quarter of an hour." Nausicaa puffed out smoke, hiding the faintly excited expression on her face.
"You haven't seen Angel yet, aren't you worried that he won't come?" Shan asked.
"Why should I worry? Whether he comes or not is his own business." Nausicaa replied: "Instead of caring about him, it is better to find a way to wake Shiliu up."
Shan: "Don't I just rank him as my future husband? If he doesn't come, his ranking will probably be lowered by two levels in my heart."
Nausicaa: "If Angel heard this, then I guess Angel would want to leave now even if he came."
Shan spat angrily, turned her gaze to Xiliu beside her, and pushed her: "Xiliu, wake up quickly, we're on the road!"
"You sound like you are going to die."
"In a sense, we are indeed going to die."
After a while, under Shan's hard push, Xiliu opened her hazy eyes.
…
There are still five minutes left before the deadline. Outside the high metal wall of the highland, no one has climbed over it. The huge valley inside the high wall is as silent as a cemetery. Everyone has become taciturn from the excitement at the beginning. However,
What's slightly better is that at least everyone's eyes are not yet desperate.
Maybe this trip to the Purification Garden is dangerous, but as wizards, which adventure is without danger? As long as the danger can bring enough benefits, they will accept it.
Time passed by bit by bit, and a hooded man in black robes who was hidden in the crowd suddenly frowned.
"Did Tatolo's prophecy go wrong?"
Just as he was thinking this, there was a burst of sound in the air, accompanied by a faint light of fire, suddenly flying from the distant sky. The man in black robe raised his head and looked at the figure in mid-air.
As he raised his head, the man in black robe turned up his hood slightly, revealing half of his face. If Shan were here, she would definitely come up to him with a smile, because the man in black robe is exactly the person she has been talking about.
Geer!
Since Angel said he would come, he would naturally not break his promise. Moreover, he was actually one of the first people to arrive in the valley, but as Nausicaa said, he didn't like to show off, and he didn't go to the right side of the valley to look for it.
I just found a remote place and rested.
Of course he saw Nausicaa and the others. Ganke's size was too obvious. But he didn't intend to come forward to talk. He had made the preparations that needed to be made and what needed to be explained. He and Nausicaa
The ideas are very similar. The rest depends on your own luck. After all, others cannot help you forever.
Therefore, Angel just glanced at them from a distance and then set his sights elsewhere.
Seeing that the time was about to reach the hour, Angel noticed that people were coming one after another, but he never saw Qili. Thinking about Dodoluo's prophecy, he thought to himself: Could it be the future that Dodoluo saw?
The picture actually doesn’t refer to the purification garden, right?
Just when he was thinking this, Qili suddenly appeared.
At the horizon, a girl in a dark blue dress riding on a broom landed in the valley. She took off the portable oil lamp from the top of the broom, and the orange flame was slightly thin in the falling snow. Her face reflected in it also looked a little lonely.
light.
As soon as she landed, the little black cat sitting on the broom jumped down and squatted on the soft snow.
When everyone was guessing about her identity, she suddenly took out her red dancing shoes and walked towards the right side of the other side of the river. With every step she took, a cold ice flame appeared beside her.
At the same time, Jiebo, who was leaning against the tree and teasing the little blue whale, suddenly straightened up. He looked at the girl with a stern expression, taking every step with boundless cold flames.
As the girl advanced, rolling waves also appeared behind Jiebo.
Everyone was confused, even Angel was full of questions. Why did these two people look like they were about to fight?
Moreover, the identity of this woman who dares to fight against the son of the ocean does not seem simple?
"I didn't expect to meet a lunatic like you here." Jetbo's hand was surrounded by water, and the blue whale began to expand with the naked eye.
Qili said coldly: "Either you die today or I live."
Jiebo sneered: "In the past, if your immortal mentor hadn't protected you, I wouldn't have been able to kill you? Don't shame yourself, you are the only one who will die today, and I will definitely live well!"
Qili is not good at words, so what if she is better at language? For her, as long as she kills him, everything will be over.
Seeing that the two were about to fight, at this moment, the metal gate on the top of the mountain slowly closed. A young man wearing a black robe suddenly appeared in mid-air, and boundless pressure swept everyone instantly.
The conflict between Qili and Jiebo was also suppressed forcefully under this pressure.
"The time has come. Master Rosen has appeared. It seems that the Purification Garden will be opened."
"It's a pity that we can't see the fight between these two people. It's also strange. Today, there are three women who want to kill Jiebo. What kind of hatred does this Jiebo have with them?"
"Perhaps it's because of chaos and abandonment, right? Hahaha..."
The young man in black robe in mid-air is none other than one of the two city lords of Sky Mechanical City, Rosen, the "Mechanical Beast King"!
After Rosen stood still, the already quiet valley became even quieter. No one dared to speak, they all looked at the people in the air with trepidation.
Rosen didn't look at the people below, but said calmly: "The time is up, the purification garden will open, everyone is ready to enter."
After saying that, Rosen waved his sleeves and prepared to turn around and leave. His arrival seemed to be just a formality.
At this time, the pressure on everyone was relieved, and someone suddenly shouted: "Sir Beast King, please give us an explanation, what is going on?"
Rosen's steps suddenly stopped, and he turned around and said coldly: "What you should know, you already know. What you shouldn't know, it's useless to know. Live as hard as you can. Those who live to the end will naturally have what you want.
, and even... there is a chance to reach the sky in one step."
After Rosen said that, his figure disappeared into the valley.
Everyone looked at each other, and even the elite apprentices on the right side of the valley were confused for a moment. Of course they knew the inside story of the purification garden, but no one had talked about the mechanism of the purification garden. It was said that it was cut by 90%, but how to cut it?
Is it a fight, a massacre, or is there something else going on?
They originally thought that someone would tell them their doubts before entering the Purification Garden.
But Rosen did not say anything, and the other wizards had no intention of speaking out.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the ten core apprentices selected by Sky Machinery City... Since Rosen didn't say anything, the only people who knew what was going on here were these ten!
These ten apprentices in silver uniforms showed no fear in the face of everyone's attention, and some even smiled mockingly.
However, when facing the elite apprentices, they restrained their arrogant expressions and prepared for battle.
Suddenly, a huge door about thirty meters high appeared on the cross-section of the cliff on the right side of the valley.
"The entrance is open, please come in. As for the exit... you will come out when it's time." The voice of the law enforcement wizard reached everyone's ears.
The ten apprentices in the Mechanical City looked at each other, acted in unison, and rushed towards the giant door.
"Catch them! Be sure to find out the blood sacrifice mechanism of the Purification Garden!" Someone shouted, and in an instant, countless figures rushed into the giant door along with the apprentices from the Mechanical City.
The dark crowd rushed over in a swarm.
Qili stood up and looked at Jiebo opposite: "The Purification Garden is your grave. I will kill you this time, and next time I will kill your mentor, Florence!"
After saying that, Qili turned and left. Under the watchful eyes of many law enforcement wizards around her, she really didn't dare to kill her. But when it came to the Purification Garden, he couldn't help it!
Jiebo's eyes suddenly dawned. The fragrant breeze blew by, and Manyin passed by him: "Guess, Qili will kill you first, or I will kill you first."
After speaking, Manyin smiled coquettishly, spread her wings, and plunged into the giant door.
Nausicaa, Shan and Shiliu also walked towards the gate of the Purification Garden. Just when they were about to enter the entrance, Nausicaa suddenly frowned and said "Huh" and turned back to look around.
Shan wondered: "What's wrong?"
"I feel someone is staring at me." Nausicaa caught a graceful figure in the corner of her eyes, but the other person was wearing a gauze hat and couldn't see her clearly.
"Looking at you? Are you still afraid of being looked at?"
"No, I felt the strong malice in that look." Nausicaa turned back to Shan and said, "I suspect it is my enemy."
"Your enemy? Where is she? I will remember her appearance first, and after entering the Purification Garden, if I meet her, I will help you crush her!" Shan said immediately.
"She is..." Just when Nausicaa was about to point at the person, she found that the other person had disappeared from sight. The crowd was rolling in and it was so dark that it was really difficult to distinguish her.
Nausicaa shook her head: "Forget it, let's go. If she is really an enemy, I will kill her."
After that, the three of them stepped into the door.
On the other side, after Qili said harsh words to Jiebo, she did not immediately walk towards the giant door. Instead, she let the little black cat lead the way and jumped in front of a hooded man in twos and twos.
"Angel!"
Angel raised his head and looked at Qili, who had a cold look on her face.
It seemed that Qili was in a bad mood because of Jiebo. But thinking of her mentor's explanation, she still suppressed her discomfort: "You have done a good job in the past half month and did not disturb my life and my mentor's."
.So, I can honor your promise.”
Angel said without hesitation: "It's not necessary."
But as a surly and paranoid autistic girl, Qili selectively listened to what she wanted to hear. She completely ignored Angel's opinion and just said:
"After entering the Purification Garden, I will come to you as soon as possible. You'd better stay in a safe and hidden place and don't run around. If you die because you run around, it has nothing to do with me." Qili said, hugging her
The black cat Luna jumped up and disappeared into the snow.
