I, the final BOSS of the beta test server!

"By the way, Leader, I have one last question."

Cecil was stunned: "What's the problem?"

"Chief Cecil."

The boy paused for a moment.

"Speaking of which, are we... friends now?"

Such nonsensical words made Cecil burst out laughing.

"Of course, I don't have many friends left in the world—"

"One more won't hurt."

Chapter 97: Long time no see, Little Grey (5k)

You have forged a new "fate" and the Fool's Library: The Long Steps of the Sun has been unlocked.

[You unlocked a new card - 『Sun』·Cisel]

……

The wooden door closed behind Rast.

At the same time, the azure words appeared as expected in his spiritual ocean.

Sequence long stage "Sun".

This is another brand new long sequence that has never been recorded in the world.

It is also the card with the highest gold content among all the cards currently recorded in the library of the Fool Rast.

A true legend.

Of course, according to the rules summed up by Last himself——

The higher the strength and rarity of the card, the more difficult it is to increase the bond level.

As the current leader of the Shore Guardians, Cecil is not only a legendary figure, but also an immortal.

Long before the Iron Cross Plague broke out and the Cataclysm began, he had already served as the leader of the Shore Watchers.

Those old eyes have already spanned nearly a thousand years of vicissitudes.

Even if we take into account the three hundred years that Rast has been circulating in Deep Blue Harbor, he is still far inferior to Cecil.

Legends stand higher than ordinary people, and the scenery and world they see are broader.

The joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness, separations and reunions in the eyes of others may have been witnessed thousands of times in the eyes of legends, and it is difficult to stir up any waves anymore.

If you want to establish a deep bond with Cecil, you must put in a hundred or a thousand times more effort than with any other person.

Even if it was only the first level of bond, it was already obtained by Last through trickery, in a manner similar to mission rewards.

Therefore, Rast did not have any unrealistic expectations. He was mentally prepared for the card Cecil to be stuck in bond one for a long time.

The reason why Rast wanted to try to unlock Cecil's Sun Card was actually to verify a guess in his mind.

["Sun" · Cecil]

[Bond Level: 1]

[Sun·Glorious Body (Unlocked): The first-tier ability of the Sun Sequence. Your body is blessed by the scorching sun, shrouded in an eternal glow.]

[You gain a certain degree of resistance to cold, darkness, curse, and frost]

The first-stage ability of the Solar Sequence Elder, "Body of Radiance," can only be described as mediocre.

Of course, this is understandable.

After all, although the long sequence of the sun is rare, it is likely to be similar to Gray's "destiny" and Dean Yin's "moon", and has uniqueness.

However, the first-level bond level of the Sissel card can only unlock the ability of the first stage of the Sun Sequence, and no matter how much it breaks through, it will not be much better.

The resistance to cold, darkness, curse and freezing brought by the Body of Radiance can only be said to be a fairly good passive auxiliary skill purely used to stack the panel.

However, Last's purpose was not to covet Cecil's strength.

His attention silently fell on the place below this line of information, where the Night Blade panel owned by Cecil should have appeared.

but.

does not exist.

Similar to Gray's information on the panel in the Fool's Library, where the Night Blade should have appeared, or in the words of the Sixth Epoch, "superpowers", there was only a short character at this moment -

Night Blade: Unknown

Last's gaze lingered on the line of azure text for a long time.

"The Fool's Library."

"What exactly are you hinting at?"

pat.

Last took a step forward and walked out of the towering watchtower.

What comes into view is the extremely peaceful coastal scenery.

The moist sea breeze blows on your face, bringing with it fresh air.

On the streets in the distance, people were coming and going, shoulder to shoulder and bustling about.

Except for the Deep Blue Port before the outbreak of the Iron Cross Plague, this was the first time that Last had seen such a peaceful city scenery in the night world.

Of course, this is a matter of course.

Just as Gray said when she was little.

As the headquarters of the Shore Watchers, it houses a watchtower manned by a legend and several high-ranking transcendents, as well as the town attached to the watchtower...

Nature is the safest place in the world.

Residents living in the cities surrounding the Watchtower do not have to live a precarious life like humans in other settlements.

After all, everyone knows that ordinary desolate beast tides, Iron Cross mutants, and even ordinary cults do not have the courage to challenge the Watchtower.

Even if the evil god descends.

If the one who descended was not the complete body, but only half of it with some power, the legendary leader of the shore guards might not have been defeated.

In this state of mind, the cities surrounding the Watchtower also became stable and developed prosperously...

Even the levels of many disciplines and technologies here have recovered to the level of the golden age before the disaster, when science and technology were at their peak.

In time, humans may be able to rebuild civilization based on this.

Of course, the area that the Watchtower's deterrent power can radiate and protect is ultimately limited...it cannot accommodate all the survivors on the continent.

Therefore, when the news of the "Paradise" in the northern border of the continent spread, many people who could not get the protection of the Watchtower naturally regarded Paradise as their last hope.

only--

Looking at the peaceful city scene before him, Rast couldn't help but sigh.

People of this era regard "Paradise" and the Watchtower as the last Garden of Eden.

Or in other words, Noah's Ark.

They hoped to hide on Noah's Ark and survive the raging flood and the catastrophe of world destruction...

Then, wait for the flood to recede and the disaster to disappear.

In the new world, a civilization far more glorious and splendid than the Golden Age was rebuilt, and the era continued.

However, only Rast knew.

If this civilization truly still has a future and can be passed down...

Then this period of history should be written in the history books of future generations, rather than just being able to glimpse the past in the night world.

And this era will not be called the Sixth Era by later generations.

Whether it is the Watchtower or "Paradise"... they will all face their final end.

This is a historical trend that cannot be reversed by the power of one person, and it is also the so-called destiny.

And according to the description of Chief Cecil.

The end of that era, the final chapter of everything.

Obviously, not too far away.

Such a thought only flashed through Rast's mind.

He looked at the crowded street in front of him and suddenly remembered Cecil's last instructions.

"Gray..."

The little gray-haired girl in the Frozen Water Town back then, who was as timid as a baby animal and gave herself a name.

Now, have you finally grown up?

Moreover, it seems that he has recently passed the assessment and has been promoted to one of the shore guards.

It’s true, time flies.

……

"This is your shore guardian wing emblem, Gray-chan, and your spare uniform."

Outside the watchtower, the training ground for new shore watchers.

Within the organization, a woman in charge of logistics placed two sets of pure white clothing and a winged emblem made of pure silver on the table.

"Thank you, Sister Susan."

Not far away, a girl wearing the standard white robe of a shore guard and with gray hair draped over her shoulders held the supplies in her arms and bowed politely to Susan.

What a polite and good kid, it's a pity...

Looking at the well-behaved gray-haired girl in front of her, Susan sighed softly in her heart.

"By the way, Little Grey, your job assignment hasn't been announced yet."

"According to convention, you will remain in the headquarters as a reserve personnel."

To put it nicely, they are called reserve personnel.

To put it bluntly, the organization has given up on training her.

Of course, this is also a matter of course.

Although Gray ranked first in all test items except actual combat in the assessment of new shore guards.

Moreover, during the short period of new employee training, her likable personality was appreciated by the instructors, including Susan.

However, the results of the test on Gray's long sequence were unclear.

And all of Gray's attempts to awaken her superpowers ended in failure.

The length of the sequence is unknown...which means that her sequence has not been recorded in the organization's intelligence database, so there is no corresponding extraordinary knowledge reserve.

Grey cannot, like other extraordinary people, upgrade step by step and in a logical manner by simply learning the corresponding extraordinary knowledge.

Each level of promotion can only rely on Gray's own exploration. Perhaps she will be trapped at the first level for the rest of her life and unable to make any progress.

Failure to awaken superpowers, or the lack of superpowers, means that Gray's potential outside the sequence is also zero.

Sequence and superpowers are the two core elements that constitute the combat power of a transcendent.

However, Grey was sentenced to death for both of these potentials.

In this case, no matter how well Grey performs in other aspects, and her character, personality, willpower, skills, etc. are all top-notch, she has already lost the value of being cultivated.

Even at the Shore Guard headquarters, the extraordinary resources available for training new personnel are extremely rare and limited, and all investments must be used effectively.

Newcomers who are able to successfully advance to the higher levels of other sequences and have extraordinary potential in their abilities are naturally more worthy of training.

If it weren't for the fact that Chief Cessel had become interested in Gray's unknown sequence after seeing her file, and Gray herself had some inexplicable obsession with joining the Shore Watchers...

Perhaps she had already been persuaded to quit.

"I see, I understand, Sister Susan."
