Outside a headland on the west coast of Phuket Island.
A beautiful coral reef cliff stretches for several kilometers outside the headland. When the turbulent waves encounter the reef, they roar angrily, sending white water spray all over the sky.
The figure of Old Ruoyu quietly appeared on the white lighthouse surrounded by rocks, standing on the stone guardrail, leaning on his wolf-headed staff, frowning, looking into the depths of the seemingly chaotic sea.
He had been to the beach before, but after entering the office and seeing the higher and further scenery, he seemed to pay little attention to the scenery close at hand.
In my impression, there should be an emerald-like sea under the White Tower. The splashing water is crystal clear. In the shallow part, you can see fish swimming among the swaying aquatic plants. In the deep part, as the terrain gradually drops, it is layered with the color of the sea.
Stacked, finally rendered into an endless deep blue.
But now.
As far as the eye can see, the sea that should have been a dark blue background has now turned into a blue-black color, with a deep gray color in it, like a large piece of turbid jelly, which does not match the picture in the memory at all.
"It's so ugly."
The vice president of First University muttered, looking at the huge piece of 'jelly' in front of him, shaking his head slightly, and added: "——Ugly and dirty. It was not originally like this."
Then he turned his head, looked to his side, and asked calmly: "So, what are you doing here? Don't tell me that you made this place dirty. Shi Hui will kill you."
A sudden figure appeared beside him at some point.
He is an old wizard with a sallow complexion.
He wore an old-school wizard hat with a soft peak. The wrinkles on the hat contrasted with the wrinkles on his face. Coupled with the big bags under his eyes, just one look at him made people feel old and tired for no reason.
Hearing the "friendly" greeting from old man Ruoyu.
The uninvited guest handed the black-covered law book he was holding in his right hand to his left hand, then raised his six-fingered right hand and politely tugged on the brim of his wizard hat.
"Good afternoon, Vice Principal."
The Speaker of the Dark Parliament greeted him kindly, as if he did not hear the threat that Old Man Ruoyu just made: "——If I said that I was just passing by, would you believe it?"
Ruoyu tilted his head, and there was rarely a hint of ridicule in Gujing's usual expression.
"Passing by? At this time?"
He looked up at the sky where there was still no trace of the sun, and sneered: "There are three hundred and sixty-five days in a year, and there are thirty-six thousand five hundred days in a hundred years. In my impression, the sun on Phuket Island was like this last time."
Disappearing, it happened three hundred years ago... For a hundred thousand days, you didn't come early or late, but you chose to come today, and then tell me, you happened to pass by? Do you think that as long as you don't violate that contract?
, you can do whatever you want?”
After the Battle of Black Prison, according to the agreement between the two legends, Six Fingers could leave with the members of the Dark Parliament, but they must hand over the forbidden spell they studied - which is now used in the 'Yuanshi' and 'Yuan Shi' after being perfected by the school.
The Nine Songs on Taiyi's body - In addition, the Dark Council also needs to sign relevant contracts and is deprived of the right to further study the forbidden curse. At the same time, relevant regulations have been made on the composition of the Dark Council and its rights and obligations to the alliance.
Strictly speaking, the Speaker of the Dark Parliament appeared here today and did not violate any agreement.
But just like no matter how the law develops, there will always be the concept of "hidden rules".
Sometimes, even if something is not written down in black and white, it cannot be done.
This is called convention.
Liu Zhi's expression became increasingly sad.
"The fact that the sun is like this really has nothing to do with me——"
…
…
"——So, you made the sun look like this?"
In another direction of Phuket Island, Lao Yao squatted on the shore, looking at a black snail slowly crawling past his feet on the beach, and asked seriously: "Why are you doing this?"
Before coming to Bei, Lao Yao thought he would really meet a certain big shot descending from the stars.
As a result, after searching for that smell for a long time, he finally found only this black snail - he recognized the origin of this guy at a glance, it was the traitorous son of Nicholas who swallowed a black snail in the Battle of Black Prison.
As the black snail that crushed the remains of the Siren King and indirectly assisted the Siren King in becoming an Ancient One, the Black Snail received the blessing of that big shot after the war and escaped from the battlefield without being liquidated by the First University.
"——Since you ran away, just run farther away. Why did you come back?"
Old Yao sat cross-legged next to Black Snail, biting his pipe, and said with emotion: "But then again, if you betrayed Nicholas, you will definitely not be able to go to the starry sky. The new world is also quite difficult. After counting, it's still...
It’s safe here. But since you want to live a stable life, just be your snail. Why do you want to eat our sun if you are fine?”
The black snail was like a real snail, completely ignoring what the dean of Jiuyou College was saying to himself, and slowly crawled past him, its body covered with tiny grains of sand.
Old Yao clicked the pipe at his lips and blew out a cloud of rich smoke on the snail.
To his surprise, the black snail seemed completely unaware, like a real mollusk, allowing it to be submerged by the green smoke, but still crawling slowly until it crawled out of the smoke.
Old Yao shook his head.
Stretch out your finger and draw a deep mark in front of the black snail.
A faint gray cursed light floated up and down in the scratch.
"——If you really want to be a snail, you can crawl over without caring." The smile on his face faded, and his tone became slightly colder.
The black snail finally stopped in front of the scratch.
He stretched out the two feelers on his forehead and tentatively probed into the scratch.
Zila.
It was as if sulfuric acid had been poured onto the flesh.
Tiny sparks instantly exploded at the top of the tentacles, raising a cloud of black smoke. Almost at the same time, off the coast of Phuket Island, hundreds of criss-crossing lightning bolts suddenly fell from the originally dark sky, and a large, dense cloud of lightning rose from the sea at some unknown time.
Black fog.
The black snail wisely turned around, trying to avoid the scratch.
This time, Lao Yao did not speak again, but grabbed his pipe and smashed it straight into the snail shell.
Bang!
Rumble!
In the sky outside the sea, there were endless bursts of dull thunder. Occasionally, a few flashes of lightning flashed across, illuminating half of the sky. In the thick black mist on the sea surface, two behemoths could be faintly seen confronting each other.
…
…
Tuk Tuk!
Rumble——
Distant thunder mixed with a clear knock on the door sounded outside the Sakura Tavern.
Behind the bar, Kolma looked at the door in surprise, wondering who would knock on her door at this sensitive time.
