But in the end she obediently took the glass from Rast's hand and accepted Rast's arrangement for her to go to bed.
After spending a long time together, Rast discovered that the Queen of the Underworld was even easier to get along with than he had imagined...
She is mentally young, and her relationship with Luster is more like that of aristocratic lady Shalltear and her old butler Sebastian than "Her Majesty and her attendant."
Helen was drinking milk in small sips, when her vision suddenly darkened, and the white candle finally burned out.
Luster stood up and wanted to change the candles.
Although the bedroom was pitch black, the chariot sequence's "intuition" and the tower sequence's "navigator" could keep him from getting lost in the darkness.
But at this moment, Rast heard a girl's sigh behind him.
It was not words or text that appeared in the air, but just a long breath that sounded like praise.
Luster turned around and followed the girl's gaze in the darkness, looking out the window...
In the dark night sky, a bunch of pale blue fireworks suddenly rose up, accompanied by a slight sound of breaking through the air.
When it reached its highest point, the firework shattered in the night sky.
The fireworks transformed into countless scattered lotuses of light, blooming in the sky, and then turned into chaotic points of light falling to the earth.
There is an extremely black dome above, rolling hills below, and a silvery-white rain of light in the middle, just like a meteor shower in the sky.
The falling rain of light illuminated the mountains below. On one side of the mountains was the sea, and on the other side was the brightly lit royal city.
As the kingdom of the dead, the nights in Paradise City should be quite quiet, and fireworks should not be allowed.
But recently too many refugees have poured into the royal city. They have not received any blessings, so naturally they do not have to abide by the rules of the underworld... No one knows who brought fireworks from the outside world and released them on the hills outside the royal city, lighting up the night sky with fireworks.
Helen stared at the fireworks outside the window in a trance. There were lush forests among the mountains illuminated by the fire... It was exactly the same place where the hero and heroine lived in seclusion in the finale of "Silver Wings Chronicles".
The rain of light reflected in her eyes, reflecting the brilliance of glass, like a blooming starry sky.
Slowly, her hazy and lifeless eyes gradually became lively.
Like a kitten that sees its cage opened.
Last felt a faint itch in the palm of his hand, and slender fingers were writing on his palm with a cold touch.
"I want to see the outside world"
"Okay, let's disguise ourselves and go out to play tomorrow." Rast said softly.
He was also gazing at the fireworks scattered in the night sky, but his gaze was dim, like a dark pond that had swallowed up the light, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Chapter 108: Date her and make her shy! (Two in one)
Paradise, the mountainous area outside the royal city.
At the foot of the mountain, there is an abandoned wooden house buried in tangled grass and trees, which looks like it has not been lived in for a long time.
A dark figure slid into the wooden house silently: "Deputy Captain, it's all done."
"Following Captain Last's instructions, we selected a location and set off the fireworks as soon as we received the signal."
"The trajectory and height of the fireworks have been calculated and simulated numerous times, and they happen to be at an angle that allows for a full view from the third window of the bedroom."
"Ah."
From the dark shadows of the cabin came another voice: "I saw it all. Thank you for your hard work."
"What about the rest of the mess? Have you cleaned it up?"
“It’s all been cleaned up.”
The visitor nodded and said, "After the fireworks were set off, some people came to inspect the royal city, but they found nothing."
"All traces left at the scene have been completely erased, and I also used my own special abilities to perform special anti-divination treatments."
"It can be ensured that even if a transcendent with divination or precognitive abilities intervenes, they will gain nothing."
"Speaking of which, Vice Captain..."
He paused, a hint of confusion in his voice. "Don't you think the way we're communicating now doesn't seem like we're shore guards at all..."
"Instead, is he more like a villain who's sneaking around and plotting something in secret?"
As he spoke, he lit the windproof lantern in his hand.
The bright light illuminated the originally dim and silent darkness in the wooden house.
Under the reflection of the light, the boundary between light and darkness in the house became clear, and the dark shadows surged and turned into a vague human figure.
The shadow servant condensed into a physical body, looked at the shore guard team members in front of him, and sighed slightly in his heart.
Although they are candidates who can pass the selection and become official members of the Shore Guardian organization... the members of the Shore Guardian team who follow Captain Last and himself to the paradise this time all meet the requirements in terms of character and talent.
But after all, they still lack experience and are too young and immature.
The new blood of these organizations all have a kind of almost fanatical worship for the name of Shore Guardian.
They believe that the shore guards are the greatest organization in the world, sacred and inviolable.
"I know that you all come from countries near the Watchtowers, protected by the Organization's headquarters... and have grown up hearing the name of the Shore Guardians."
"In your hearts, the shore guards are the embodiment of justice and the savior of human civilization."
"And all humans on the continent... should, like those nations and city-states that have received refuge, offer applause, flowers, and glory to the great savior."
"So, in your opinion—"
"Our sneaky actions now...actually, they're a disgrace to the upright and glorious image of the Shore Guard in your mind, right?"
Opposite Shadow Servant, the team member did not dare to respond to his deputy captain's words.
After all, he is a sixth-level boss and we can't afford to offend him.
However, that slightly flickering look undoubtedly confirmed the correctness of Shadow Servant's guess.
"In fact, the shore guardians have never been as brilliant as you imagine."
Shadow Servant gently asked, "If there is a patient suffering from a tumor and is terminally ill, what would you do?"
The team member thought for a moment and said, "Of course, we should remove the diseased part of the lesion."
"Yes."
Shadow Servant nodded: "For the patient as a whole, and for the other healthy organs in the body, this is undoubtedly the best and least costly option."
"But what about the cancerous organ that was removed?"
"Sacrificing a small number of individuals for the sake of the whole is a principle that everyone can understand."
"But when the fate of the few who are to be abandoned... actually falls upon you, how many people can accept it?"
"What's more, even if the lesion is removed, all it can do is prolong the patient's life, but it cannot truly cure the cancer."
The thin shadow surges:
“We are not the saviors of civilization, and we cannot become them.”
"We are just poor scavengers who keep struggling because we don't want to accept the inevitable outcome."
The shadow servant gazed out the window of the hut, at the quiet royal city shrouded in the night below the hillside.
"To the residents here, we are not the guardians of justice and light."
"Instead, they deprived them of their livelihoods, destroyed their homes, and personally extinguished their hopes and future..."
"An unforgivable executioner, an extremely hateful demon."
……
The team members listened to Shadow Servant's story and seemed to be confused.
Shadow Servant obviously just made a few impromptu remarks and had no intention of elaborating further.
He gazed at the Royal City in the night and brought the topic back on track: "Inside the Royal City, what about the surveillance of Queen Helen and the Captain in the Imperial Palace?"
"How's it going?"
"Grey is in charge of this part of the work."
"Her rank is the lowest, so she is least likely to arouse the Queen's vigilance by monitoring near the palace." The team member answered.
This is the division of labor within the shore guard team.
Since we need to monitor the movements inside the palace, we must send people to be stationed near the palace in real time.
However, such behavior may also arouse the vigilance of Helen, the Queen of the Underworld.
That is the strongest person who is comparable to a legend in his own home field. The higher the level of the extraordinary person, the more conspicuous his existence is in the eyes of other strong people.
If a sixth-level shadow servant were to sneak into the royal city by himself, he would most likely be discovered by the Queen of the Underworld the moment he entered, and the war would be ignited directly.
Therefore, the best choice is to have Gray, who has just joined the shore guardians, has the lowest rank, and is not much stronger than ordinary people, to monitor.
To the queen, there was no real difference between a Gray who was only one or two levels high and an ordinary person.
It is an existence that will not arouse any vigilance at all and will be subconsciously ignored.
"According to Gray's daily report, the palace is shrouded in a frozen halo of dusk, making it impossible to glimpse the interior."
"However, no one has been entering or leaving the palace these past few days, just like usual."
"However, according to your previous instructions, Vice Captain, all our observers in the city, including Gray, have been recalled."
"Calculating the time, it's almost time to gather."
As soon as these words fell.
The next moment, the door of the wooden house was opened.
Figures in white robes filed in...
They were all members of the shore guard team sent to Paradise this time, and had just arrived in the royal city of this country a month ago.
Follow the instructions of the captain and vice-captain.
During this month, they integrated into the city as quietly as mercury flowing on the ground, monitoring every corner like shore guards, and controlling every detail of the interior of this royal city.
However, now, all these sentries have been recalled by the deputy captain.
Gray was also among them.
She had fair skin, dull grey hair braided into a bun, and her petite figure was hidden in a black hooded cloak.
Her clothes were made entirely of black and white, making her look like a winter fairy in a colorless world.
The shore guards gathered in the wooden house, and Gray pulled up her hood, hiding her face underneath it.
Before officially starting this operation...
The six months of training and preparation with her brother Rust at the headquarters of the Watchtower can be said to be the happiest time of Gray's life.
It even surpasses the memories in Frozen Water Town.
She lives in the peaceful and harmonious Shore Watch headquarters, training every day.
After each training session, Brother Rast would often take her to the town near the Watchtower to play, or eat some strange and delicious food, or take her to various entertainment venues.
In the past six months, Gray had seen many new and unusual things that were commonplace to the residents near the Watchtower, but she had never experienced in her previous wandering career.
Of course, for Gray...
Even if Rast took her to do nothing but wander around aimlessly, she would be satisfied enough.
and so--
I must assist Brother Last as soon as possible to complete this operation against the paradise.
After this operation is over, the two of them will return to the Watchtower together to continue the good times they had before.
Thinking of this, Gray raised her emerald green eyes and stared at the dark shadows in the wooden house, waiting for the deputy captain to give further instructions.
Although in this operation, Rast was the captain.
But for some reason, by the time Gray arrived at the royal city, Last had disappeared, with only occasional instructions sent back.
The one who took over the management of the shore guard team was this sixth-level deputy captain.
Gray was very concerned about Last's whereabouts, but as an ordinary member of the shore watch team, according to the principle of confidentiality, she was not qualified to know the full picture of the plan.
I only vaguely learned from the deputy captain that Brother Rast seemed to be the core figure in carrying out a secret mission.
