The girl with white hair and red eyes is serious about revenge

They have already gained such a powerful force, so why should they restrict the armaments of other countries? Especially Dila, as a buffer zone between the Federation and Thebite, shouldn't Dila be as powerful as possible?

What are the Federation people afraid of? What is the Academy afraid of? What is Laplace afraid of?

Suddenly, Perlis thought of a possibility, and her eyes narrowed suddenly——

——Black Island, [Immotaros].

What Perlis has confirmed is that the black island is related to her bloodline, and her bloodline is related to the Tower of Babel.

Could it be that a certain secret on the Black Island could subvert the Tower of Babel?

Because of this, Laplace refused to allow Dila to obtain a strong military force, fearing that they would gain the power to enter Black Island while resisting the Federation Army...

The Federation is also constantly developing other powerful war machines, such as the [Federation's "Condemnation-class" Admir Sky Eye mothership], to ensure that even without the Tower of Babel, the Federation will remain powerful.

After Perlis reached the top of the Tower of Babel, Laplace's next target immediately focused on the Black Island.

Moreover, Ibuki Rin who was beside Cang Huang obviously knew a lot about the secrets of Kuroshima. If Perlis guessed correctly, under the layers of undercurrents, Dila and the Federation might have already started a game to some extent.

I have to speed up...Perlis thought so and ate faster and faster.

Seeing that Perlis was lost in thought, Ayane turned her gaze to Aoi and spoke softly:

"Miss Aoi, you have come from afar, so please rest in the ancient city for a while. After the celebration is over, I will send someone to take you and Miss Perlis to the [Cang Palace] to meet His Majesty the Cang Emperor."

"Okay," Aoi smiled, then changed the subject, "By the way, have you lost too much weight? Is the pressure in the palace too great?"

"Is there..." Ayane gently touched her cheek with her hand, her pretty face was a little dazed for a moment, "Well... maybe..."

"Pfft..." Aoi smiled like an auntie, "Since you've come to pick me up, just eat more. You look like you'll be busy again when you go back, so take this opportunity to enjoy yourself~"

"Well," Ayane said in a dreamy voice, "thank you."

After that, the table was filled with only food: octopus balls, mustard squid, fish soup, fried chicken, charcoal-grilled chicken. Plate after plate of Dila delicacies were served to Perlis, and then entered her mouth.

Aoi was the happiest eater. She continued to shovel food into her mouth in that contradictory posture that was not elegant at all but very elegant, without caring about the occasion at all.

Before long, the meal was over, and Perlis and Aoi said goodbye to Miss Ayane before leaving the restaurant and joining the crowd of people celebrating.

They planned to stroll around first and then stay at the inn that Ayane had given them.

It's time to take a break for a while... In the dense crowd, the hooded Perlis raised her head and looked at the scorching sun in the sky.

......

The scorching sun's light shines into the cold eyes, but it can't melt the ice-like gaze.

"..."

After a brief silence, the hooded woman lowered her head and tucked her exposed blonde hair back into her hood.

She walked alone on the streets of the ancient city of Dila, her tall figure standing out from the crowd of people celebrating.

The guard on the street saw the tall woman with half her face hidden at a glance. He frowned in confusion and followed her silently, observing her movements.

He followed the suspicious woman through twists and turns, and soon saw the tall figure walking into an alley in the ancient city.

"Huh..." The guard exhaled, picked up the intercom, and said, "We have found a suspicious target and are about to arrest him. The coordinates are..."

After saying this, he grasped the hilt of the dagger at his waist with one hand and walked into the alley.

When he got used to the darkness in the alley, he found that there was nothing at the end of it.

"Huh?" The guard walked into the alley. "What's going on? Just now..."

The next second, there was a rustling sound from above. The guard raised his head sharply and saw a pair of steel wings spread out.

He didn't even have time to pull out his knife before the steel-winged figure suddenly fell down and punched him in the face.

"Ugh!"

The soldier fell to the ground, shaking with pain. He struggled to get up, but he encountered a blade against his neck.

"Tell me, how do I enter the [Cang Palace]?"

In the shadow of the alley, the eyes of [Angel] Yelena Goncharova were still cold, emitting a biting chill.

The soldier had never been to Thebeth, but at that moment, he felt as if he were in the "Icy Land of Buried Bones".

......

6) Sea Festival (Part 6)

Throughout the afternoon, Perlis followed Aoi around the festival. The streets of the ancient city of Dila were full of small stalls, some selling special snacks, and some selling all kinds of souvenirs. The variety was rich and varied, and the atmosphere of fireworks and the charm of the ancient city were well combined, making Perlis feel as if she were in another world.

Originally, Perlis hated crowded places, but walking in this ancient city was surprisingly not that tiring.

Walking in the centuries-old ancient city is like entering another era.

By the way, it’s amazing that festivals during wartime can be so lively... The people of Dila are really easily moved by emotions... Walking on the streets of the ancient city, Perlis was inexplicably moved by the strange optimism of the people of Dila.

"..."

Soon, Perlis found her own hobby: looking for all kinds of decorations in the stalls. She looked at the small bracelets and necklaces made from shellfish or strange stones from the sea, and her indifferent bloodshot eyes rarely lit up.

As a girl, Pearlis never had the basic awareness that her peers should have: self-decoration. Even in Wilkin's mansion, her wardrobe was almost entirely made up of similar clothes, with few new styles, not to mention small accessories, cosmetics, and the like.

"..."

Seeing that Perlis was very interested in the decorations on the stall, Aoi patted her shoulder with a smile and asked:

"How is it? Is there anything you like? I'll buy it for you~"

"No, no," Perlis immediately shook her head, "These things are useless."

"What a spoiler!" Aoi ignored Perlis and pointed at the two bracelets on the stall. "Boss, give me those two. The price is negotiable."

"Don't worry about it." Perlis protested, but Aoi didn't listen. She could only helplessly watch Aoi and the boss complete the transaction, and then handed her two small bracelets:

"Here, you've been looking at it for a long time, just consider it a souvenir."

The bracelet is very simple, with a thin silver chain hanging with a small crystal, one red and one blue, reflecting beautiful light between the edges.

Perlis stared at the red and blue small crystals in a daze, pursed her lips, and then put both small objects on her wrists.

"You have to give it to her," Aoi smiled softly, having seen through Perlis's little thoughts. "Everything will be fine, understand?"

"Yeah." Perlis nodded silently and stared at the two small bracelets on her wrists in a daze.

The flow of people coming and going is like a fast-forwarded cassette tape, flowing along the path of the sun. Soon, night falls, and strings of bright lights light up between the buildings of the ancient city of Dila, adorning Donglin Island with dots of orange and yellow, welcoming the Broken Moon Misala that gradually rises into the sky.

Perlis and Aoi had dinner at a street corner stall: fragrant udon noodles - Aoi ate at least five bowls in total, attracting the attention of many passers-by.

After that, Aoi took Perlis to the Moon Viewing Platform on the edge of the ancient city, saying that she wanted to see the vast ocean.

The Moon Viewing Platform was built on the edge of the cliff, with large blue-grey stones, and could accommodate a large number of moon-watchers. Leaning on the stone railing and looking out, the Broken Moon Massala was hanging quietly above the sea, quiet and beautiful.

However, when the two of them had just found a good position by the stone railing, Perlis caught a glimpse of two familiar figures——

——It’s Grissom Trent and Mei Hoshigiri.

"Wow! Look, today's moon--" Aoi was about to shout, but was suddenly covered by Perlis's mouth, "Um--kidnapping! Kidnapping..."

"Shh." Perlis put her index finger in front of her mouth and pointed at two people who were watching the moon not far away.

Aoi immediately lowered her voice, and the two of them stopped talking, just staring quietly at a couple looking at the moon not far away.

"..."

Although Perlis didn't want to eavesdrop, the two people's voices were not quiet enough, and she couldn't leave abruptly. After all, she had already come here, and it would really spoil the fun.

However, what surprised Perlis was that the person leading the conversation between the man and woman was not Grissom, but Mei Xinghui:

"You know, Black Island has always been a hot topic on the sea. At least before the Academy War, there was a wave of enthusiasm for exploring Black Island. Many famous privateer captains at the time eventually chose to explore it, but..."

The only time Perlis saw Xinghui Mei talk so much was when she first encountered the mysterious legend of Fanhai. This civil servant lady was usually very silent, and Perlis once suspected that she and she were cut from the same mold.

Who really doesn't have the desire to talk? However, there are usually not many people to talk to...

"..."

Gleason listened with great interest to Mei Xinghui talking about various mysterious legends on the sea. In today's world where science is becoming the mainstream, even sailors on the mysterious sea rarely take the initiative to explore those mysterious things, let alone have any interest in them. But Gleason is different.

When he looked at Mei Xinghui, his blue eyes were full of light, reflecting the violet crystal eyes.

"...That's it," Mei Xinghui finished telling a series of Black Island legends, "All those who went to look for Black Island either didn't come back or committed suicide on the shore..."

"...My father was one of them," Gleason said softly, "About 17 years ago, he never came back. If Captain Furukawa hadn't taken me in, I would have been sold to who knows where."

"17 years ago..." Mei Xinghui was slightly stunned, "Grissom's father...Why?"

"I was too young at the time and didn't know anything," Gleason shook his head. "I vaguely remember that she said she wanted to save her mother, but I don't have any impression of her..."

"I'm sorry..." Mei lowered her head slightly, "You haven't told everyone before..."

"No, don't feel sorry," Grissom smiled cheerfully, his cheeks slightly red, "After all, everyone on the Blue Reef has always been my family. After my father passed away, you have been my spiritual support."

Gleason said, crossing his arms on the stone railing, looking at the sparkling sea, and sighed:

"So, I have always hoped to do more for everyone. After all, I am from I-Tran, and I am not good enough..."

At this moment, he felt a small hand reaching into his arm and grasping his hand. He turned his head and met those serious violet eyes:

"You are amazing. You are so good at swordsmanship and you taught everyone," Mei Xinghui said. Suddenly she realized that she had lost her composure and her face became flustered. "Ah... I'm sorry, I..."

She tried to pull her hand away, but Grissom held it tightly. The girl raised her head slightly and put on her ice-blue eyes that were also fearless.

"G...Grissom...?"

"Mei, I've always been..."

"..."

Listening to the two people's sweet conversation, the smile on Aoi's face was like a volcano that was accumulating and could erupt at any time. At this moment, she suddenly felt her hand being grabbed, and then she was dragged into a sea of ​​red without any warning.

"Uhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

After the dizzying red flush, Aoi fell to her knees, trying hard to regulate her breathing so as not to vomit.

She looked up and found herself standing on the edge of a group of broken stone buildings. Looking around, the lights of Dila City came into view, looking quite lively.

"Is this...the Altar of Heaven?"

Aoi looked up in confusion and found that Perlis was standing beside her, facing away.

She felt a little strange, so she stood up and asked:

"Junbai, why did you suddenly travel through time? I was just watching a crucial scene, why..."

Before Aoi finished speaking, she found the answer from Perlis's blushing face:

She was shy.

The girl's fair cheeks were flushed, her lips were slightly pursed, and her two little fists were clenched tightly.

Pearlis is in a state of super shyness.

"Puff..." Aoi covered her mouth, her stomach twitching, "Puff..ha...ha..."

“Don’t laugh!” Perlis angrily accused Aoi who was about to laugh, but was met with a flying pounce, “Huh?”

"Aha!"

Aoi threw Perlis to the ground, hugged her, and rubbed her head:

"Why are you so cute? Hahahaha, they just want to kiss, is it necessary to use so much strength? Hahahaha!!!"

"Let...let me go! I...I just don't want to..."

"You're just shy, ahahahahaha!"

"I don't!"

"You said no, but your face turned red!"

"......"

On the altar at the top of Sakura Mountain, the girls' laughter blended into the night of Dila.

......

Haiwu Island - Misty Strait

The steel airship broke through the lingering fog in the strait and landed on the coast of Haiwu Island in the night.

"Kacha——"
