Chapter 529

They were taken overnight to meet the Lord of the Gate City.

Even though she was in a short sleep, Yale Liga still felt that Jing Juan was walking around in the room, creating a weak air current.He didn't say a word, but the two characters seemed to be hidden in the ticking of the clock.Two unfamiliar syllables, sometimes four numbers with a faint blue luster, these rolled in her tossing and restless fantasy, and the echo was long and dragging.

She dreamed of her mother.The Missing One parted her in her manhood, for the company of two evangelicals did not help.The last she heard was that the man was on his way back to a distant paradise.She had seldom thought of her since, nor had she thought of how much mortal danger lay in that path.Sometimes, when she woke up on a cold morning, the lingering dreams brought her back to her childhood, and she mistakenly thought she was the little girl who followed her mother on the road.Or sometimes she dreamed that she became a mother, and she was about to leave a child who was enough to grow up independently in the village where the dawn was coming, and stepped into the destined long journey alone.Stretching from her ancestors to her, they are beings who share a destiny, but only to be separated again and again.

Then she woke up.A moment before the Guardian arrived, she looked around the makeshift prison.Jing Huang no longer walked around, but sat quietly in a corner to rest.The white paper handed to him by the envoy is now neatly folded, together with a measuring ruler with four revolving leaves in his right hand.This complex ruler is often used by wizards to draw some basic spell symbols.She had never seen Joan painted anything like it, but that ruler was the only thing he asked for before he gave up and let the Golden Guardians take them away.

He stood on the ladder, measured it against the white paper with a ruler for a while, and then seemed to think that there was no need to stick to it.The white rope was retracted into his sleeve, and Yale Liga and the other three trapped people were also released, and they were placed unharmed on the balance aisle called the soul scale.

"The lord of the gate city will summon you tomorrow." The black-headed messenger announced.Immediately afterwards, it read a long paragraph of polite words with superfluous warts, condemning their atrocities with beautiful rhymes, but the master of the city forgave them with a noble heart, and planned to understand them in tomorrow's interview. The reason why he did such a horrific act.All in all, the Messenger concluded, they were allowed to advance to dinner.

Jing Huang grasped the ruler and the white paper expressionlessly, not looking forward to it.

He and Yale Liga were escorted through the blue gate at the end of the stairs, and locked into a stone courtyard covered with thick moss.During the whole process, he showed the opposite resignation, as if that piece of paper was all he was trying to get.And Yale Liga also keenly noticed that even though they were still regarded as the same group and imprisoned in the same place, Jing Juan never had any eye contact with her, as if he was just caught alone.

This wasn't a good sign, but Yareriga didn't ask why.She maintained her own lazy attitude on the surface, but when Qiaoqiao Tianyi quietly leaned over her ear and suggested in a low voice to change her to a separate cell, she still refused.The ancient stone courtyard looked spacious enough for two people to live comfortably—naturally, the stone fences around the courtyard that gave off a strange violet halo had to be ignored.On these stone railings are all carved dry and abstract heads, staring sadly at the stone house in the middle of the courtyard.

The Golden Guardians pushed aside the stone railing with rune-laden poles and let her and Thorn in, but none of them followed.Qiaoqiao Tianyi stood outside the stone railing, looking at Yale Liga hesitantly.She waited for Jing Huang to enter the stone house alone, and then she whispered to Yale Liga: "He is a little unstable."

Allerica thought this undeniable.

"What race is the father of this child? Fire element? I heard that they will combine with material life in very accidental circumstances..."

"I don't know," Yareriga replied.

"You do not know?"

Allerica smiled slightly, using her racial characteristics to confuse the incident.She doesn't intend to expose the misunderstanding - in the current situation, she feels that it is a good thing to make people think that she has control over Jing Juan, even though she may not be the case.She is still in the same room as Jing Huang, which doesn't mean that what happened between them is over.No, if Allerica had learned anything from Debovillar, it was never to ignore any signs of danger because of love.She still stays in the same room with Jing Huang because she thinks that living in isolation does not guarantee safety.When the emerald green sparks fluttered, a wall, or a wider open space, would not give her any substantial protection.If she doesn't want to be affected by the catastrophe, the only thing she should do is to make sure that Jing Juan does not lose his mind.

It's a short-term strategy, she thought as she lay in bed.In the long run, when they're out of the turmoil, maybe it's time for her to think about how long this partnership should last—not right away, but there is a deadline.

In the early morning, when a group of golden guardians appeared clangingly outside the stone courtyard, Yale Liga saw Qiaoqiao Tianyi standing gracefully outside the courtyard wearing a tailor-made snow blue cloak.Walking beside her was a man also wrapped in a half-cloak.

They entered the yard, and crossed the violet-brilliant stone railing, all the way to the house in the middle.Jing Huang has already moved from the corner to the table, waiting silently on the innermost seat.Yale Liga sat on the other side of the square table.

Qiaoqiao Tianyi walked around to the right side of the fellow, took two steps back, and slightly bent her neck.Now she looked as holy and dignified as when she first met.

"Please allow me to introduce you," she said, "This is the master of this place, the master of the Thousand Gates, the great mage in the Golden Garden..."

"I suppose there is no need to waste time on these titles," said the man under the cloak.

His voice changed slightly, making it sound like a different person.But Allerica recognized him by the peculiar tone of his voice.He took off the cloak, and she saw a slightly altered face again—he still had the eye and hair tones, but now the man's skin was a bluish gray, the bridge of the nose unusually sharp, and the eyes darkened. There is a bulge that resembles a bird.These subtle adjustments are enough to make him unrecognizable to a stranger.

"This face is more similar to your voice." She said, "There are countless people passing by here every day. What kind of things make you go to the Outer Harbor to have a blast?"

The visitor, who was at the same time the host, wore his newest countenance with a sneer.

"I think among the countless people who passed here, few of them have the ability of the Gospel family."

"Everyone has their own abilities." Yale Liga replied, "I'm not going to open the doors of tens of millions of worlds in one place."

"Nevertheless, things like yesterday may not happen many times in tens of millions of worlds. The ancient law that has not been granted land rights has beaten the guards to pieces. If this kind of thing happens every day happened, I think I have to close all the doors to the ether."

Allerica stopped bickering with him.They all looked at the culprit who caused the chaos.

Jing Huang's eyes were fixed on the owner who walked into the stone house.Even though he destroyed a large number of Golden Guardians the day before, he doesn't seem hostile now.At least in Yale Liga's view, his expression was more perplexed than vigilant.

"You are not Dahui Po Yebo," he said.

The master took a seat opposite him. "I've never heard that word you use."

"You are not a heavenly being." Jing Huang said again.

The master paused for a moment in straightening his sleeves.He asked with that fake smile: "Can you tell me the reason for your judgment?"

"You have no legal form."

"Perhaps," said the master, "but I do own this place and manipulate all the structures here, and that is the only fact. I have this power because of blood, or for other reasons, which is important to you ?"

Jing Huang was still surprised, but slowly shook his head.He put the white paper that he always held in his hand on the table, revealing the two characters on it.

"I'm looking for this person." He said, "Ji Xun."
