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

The steel door opened, and a series of shadows wearing giant armor stepped onto the pirate beach, leaving a series of deep shoe prints.

At the end of the line was an Iron Guard wearing red and black armor. He wore a ghost mask with ferocious fangs on his face.

The [Evil Spirit] of the [Iron Guard], Jun Miyamoto.

"..."

The silent [Evil Spirit] looked towards Donglin Island in the distance. Even through the sea fog, he could see the bright lights on the island.

The night of the Canghai Festival is always so lively.

"Celebrate, Dila people," the [Evil Spirit] said in a hoarse and low voice, "You don't have much time left..."

......

6) Sea Festival (Part 7)

At the Altar of Heaven on the top of Sakura Mountain, Perlis finally succeeded in pushing Aoi away, stood up, and combed her messy long hair with pursed lips.

The wind on the top of the mountain was cold, but it couldn't blow away the blush on the girl's cheeks.

"By the way, why is it the Heavenly Altar?" Aoi jumped up and looked around. "It feels so cold flying so high..."

Surrounding the two girls was a broken altar, with snow and moss inlaid between the cracks in the stones, which looked very ancient.

The altar was in a half-ruined state and had never been repaired. Only the fire burning in the center of the altar proved that someone often came to take care of it.

"I don't know either," Perlis shook her head and looked around, "Maybe it's because..."

A halo lit up in her bloodshot eyes, and Perlis activated her factor vision and looked around.

She was surprised to find that the concentration of the factors here was extremely high.

"Strange..." Perlis murmured, "Why are there so many strong factors that can..."

Although "the higher the altitude, the denser the factor energy" is not some niche knowledge, the concentration here is really beyond Perlis's imagination.

I would subconsciously open the crack here, which means there must be something wrong here... Perlis thought, walked to the edge of the altar, and looked at the lights of thousands of homes in the ancient city of Dila.

"Maybe it's some kind of mysterious call?" Aoi walked to Perlis' side and looked out together. "You should know what destroyed this altar, right?"

"I don't remember it very clearly," Perlis shook her head, but suddenly thought of something, "Could it be..."

"Yes, it is the Tower of Babel."

Aoi's words attracted Perlis's attention, but she still stared at the ancient city of Dila and smiled softly:

"At the end of the Academy War, after the destruction of the Dila Fleet, the Cang Emperor at that time did not surrender, but decided to fight to the death."

"The Federation was unable to gather an army to launch an offensive against Dila in such a short period of time, so in order to stabilize the situation... well, you should know what happened."

Aoi's tone was very light, but Perlis caught a glimpse of contempt in her profile.

She could imagine the scene - the beam of light from the Tower of Babel streaking through the sky and destroying the altar of heaven.

"That Cang Huang knew what was coming, so he ascended the Cang Tian altar alone and endured everything," Aoi sighed softly, "Because of Dila's tradition, every Cang Huang wears a mask and plays the same role, so even his name has not been passed down."

Listening to Aoi's description, Perlis didn't know what to feel, but suddenly felt a little emotional.

Perhaps, the Dila people were not as cowardly as she thought.

But some things cannot be solved by willpower alone.

"..."

In silence, Perlis looked down along the edge of the altar and saw the [Cang Palace] halfway up the mountain.

The ancient and luxurious palace had countless windows, but not a single light was on.

......

Blue Palace - Sakura Mountain - Donglin Island

"..."

In front of the gold-rimmed throne carved with cherry blossoms, a figure in a long robe stood quietly in the darkness.

[Cang Huang] wore a mask of a god on his face, and he was silent and motionless.

"Buzzing..."

A faint roar came from the darkness, and a dark shadow rose in front of [Cang Huang]. He was short, wearing a black straw raincoat, and his dark green eyes gleamed in the darkness.

[Blade of Babel] came last, [Black Cape] Mercury.

"Your Majesty, you have a letter from Lord Laplace," Mercury bowed slightly, "It's a verbal message. Do you need to disperse the servants?"

"No need," Cang Huang's voice was high and cold, "Go ahead."

Mercury bowed slightly again, straightened his mind, and then recited in an emotionless voice like a machine:

"The [Academy] authorities have agreed to the abridgement of the [Treaty of Dila]. From today on, the ban on the Dila Empire's [Kamistriker] will be lifted, and the use of the third-generation factor energy engine will be opened to facilitate your reconstruction and restoration of your naval power."

"This comes with a condition: After the sea power is restored, Dila must immediately deploy regular military forces to Akihara to repel the Thebites' offensive. At the same time, you need to use Dila's military forces to search for the Pure White Flame. There are reports that she is currently wandering the waters of the Dila Islands."

"It's just a piece of cake. After dealing with the fake king, Dila's fleet will crush the ambitions of the Irenforno family," [Cang Huang] said indifferently, "As for [Pure White Flame], her whereabouts have long been known and she is within reach."

"I will convey your words to Master Laplace in their entirety."

Mercury spoke in a clear and slow voice. After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment and then asked carefully:

"At the same time, Master Laplace has a personal piece of advice. Do you want to hear it?"

"It's okay (Dila language)." There was no change in [Canghuang]'s tone.

In the darkness, Mercury bowed again, and then spoke without emotion:

"He said that the show had to end, and the remaining half of the Temple of Heaven could not withstand another blow from the Tower of Babel (in Dila)."

After saying this, Mercury's body merged into the darkness, accompanied by a "buzzing" sound.

In an instant, the lights in the Cang Palace were restored, leaving only [Cang Huang] standing in the center of the hall.

Then, a figure holding a sword handle walked out from behind the throne. Long hair as black as night fell down, and indifferent bloodshot eyes stared at Cang Huang.

"What are your plans?" [Cang Huang] turned his head and met those bloodshot eyes. "Is it the same as before?"

"The decision-making power is never mine," Ibuki Rin stared at [Cang Huang] calmly, "It's in her hands."

As he was speaking, the sound of fireworks could be heard from outside the palace. [Cang Huang] looked out the window and saw the colorful fireworks shining on the mask of the strange god.

[Cang Huang]'s expression is concealed by a mask and remains the same.

.......

"Bang-bang bang-"

Fireworks exploded in the sky, making the downtown area of ​​the celebration even more lively.

At the door of a snack shop in the downtown area, Hitaro Mama looked dejectedly at the fireworks in the sky and gently touched his still aching cheek.

After being knocked unconscious by the [Angel], he was unconscious for at least half a day before he found himself lying on the dock, just about to fall into the sea.

The crew of the Blue Reef criticized his behavior very much, and it seemed that they did not wait for him, and all went to the ancient city of Dila for vacation. However, due to the damage suffered in the naval battle, the Blue Reef was under repair, and he could not go back to the ship to get his belongings.

Therefore, Hitaro Mama had to walk miserably alone from Huayu Port to the ancient city of Dila. After arriving there, he could not find a hotel because he had no money and had to wander the streets.

Fortunately, the first mate Shibata Kazuki found him, patted him on the back, gave him some money, and helped him find a hotel to stay.

6) Sea Festival (Part 8)

In the bustling market area, laughter and joy filled the air. Even though the dark cloud of war was looming overhead, the people of Donglin Island looked extremely optimistic.

Perhaps, it is during times like these that pure emotions become more precious.

But Hitaro Mama didn't feel it at all. He drank glass of beer after glass in depression, looking at the skewers on the table, but he had almost no appetite.

"..."

After a long while, a series of obviously more powerful footsteps came from the crowd. Shinma Hitaro looked up suddenly and saw the first mate with a bright smile on his face:

"Hey, kid, how's your meal?"

Shibata Kazuki sat down opposite Mama Hitaro and placed a large pile of skewers and two large draft beers.

"Are you feeling better?"

"What did the captain say?" Mama Hitaro asked anxiously, "Can I still stay on the crew?"

"Wow, wow, calm down," Shibata Kazuki waved his hand, "Of course, I just asked the captain, and he said that you were not primarily responsible for that incident. Even if ten people were sent to guard the Angel, when the hull was damaged, she would definitely be able to break free and kill all ten people."

Hearing this, Hitaro Mama sighed deeply, slumped in his chair, and looked dazed.

Shibata Kazuki looked at him and smiled heartily, teasing:

"You've been causing a lot of trouble lately, huh? You're fighting with Pure White Flame, and you're not listening to me. You want to watch over the Angel by yourself. Are you a little bit arrogant?"

"Because I have the ability!" Shinma Hitaro argued, "It's just..."

But he couldn't seem to tell the reason, so he grabbed the glass and took a sip of beer.

Shibata Kazuki looked at him, smiled, said nothing, and drank with him.

After the two large glasses of beer were finished, the first mate let out a breath and spoke in a leisurely voice:

"Remember when I found you in Beiyi Teran? You were a kid, but you were full of poetry and art. You talked about everything, which was quite intimidating. After so many years, although I haven't seen you produce any decent works, your obsession is still strong, huh?"

"I have talent!" Shinjiro grumbled stubbornly, "They just don't understand..."

"Ha, brat, it's okay, I understand you, ha, I understand you!"

Shibata Kazuki patted Mama Hitaro on the back with a smile, and then his tone became low again.

"It's just that sometimes, you still have to hold back, you know? Many things can't be accomplished just by forcing yourself to do it."

"So how do I get in?" Shinma Hitaro was a little excited. "They all treat me like a joke! I have to prove something!"

"If you are really talented, you don't need to care about what others think," Shibata Kazuki said seriously, "Remember when I took you to entertain Miss Perlis? Why did I let you sit at the same table with her? So that you could learn the actions and words of people in high positions! Look at how good that girl is. She is young, reserved, indifferent, and not showing off her edge at all, but she is feared everywhere. Do you know why not?"

This question made Shinma Hitaro feel a little confused. He opened his mouth in confusion and then said:

"Why...?"

"Because she's really capable!" Shibata Kazuki said decisively, "She's very strong inside, so she doesn't need to show off! Look at you, you come up and tell others that you're from such and such a family, how could they understand, right? In the end, it's all about strength. Look at Miss Perlis, she can destroy an entire ship by herself, does she need to brag about it? Her achievements speak for themselves!"

Shibata Kazuki said, stood up, walked behind Mama Hitaro, patted him on the back, and smiled heartily:

"Little guy, I'll have to retire in a few more years, and you have to grow up. But I'm not worried, you're still capable."

As he spoke, the first mate stuffed a few banknotes into Hitaro Mama's hand, then turned around and waved:

"After all, the steamed fish you made tastes really good."

Seeing the first mate disappear in the crowd, Shinjima Hitaro's eyes were a little confused for a moment. He glanced at the banknotes in his hand, opened and closed his mouth, but in the end did not utter a word.

......

In order to conceal their whereabouts and avoid causing any disturbance, Perlis and Aoi took two full hours to return from the top of Sakura Mountain to the ancient city of Dila at the foot of the mountain.

In fact, Perlis felt a little apologetic in her heart: just because she was shy, she dragged Aoi to the top of the mountain for no reason, which delayed her nighttime activities.

But Aoi didn't seem to care too much. She seemed to enjoy the process of going down the mountain. From time to time, she performed various stunts on the mountain, completely violating the principle of "not creating unrest".

"..."

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when we returned to the ancient city of Dila. Aoi wanted to walk around for a while, but when she saw the sleepiness on Perlis's face, she took the initiative to say that she was tired and wanted to go back to the hotel.

The scale of the hotel was quite good, but for some reason, Ayane still only booked one room for two people, which was very strange. So, Perlis was reluctantly carried into the guest room by Aoi with a smile.

"Hmm..." Perlis straightened her collar which was messed up by Aoi, and walked into the bathroom in the room, ready to take a shower and go to bed early.

——Tomorrow is an important part of the celebration. It is said that [Cang Huang] will come to the scene in person. There will not only be a congratulatory session, but also the annual "Sacrifice of Sinners" session.

Perlis didn't quite understand what that part was about, and Aoi didn't explain it either, but just kept repeating things like "You'll know when the time comes."

"..."

After entering the shower room, Perlis finished her preparations, turned on the faucet, and started taking a bath.

At this time, Aoi's sneaky voice came from outside the bathroom:

"Oh my, I'm so sweaty, Xiao Chunbai, let me in and take a shower together~ We're all girls anyway, there's nothing to be shy about!"

"You're dreaming." Perlis refused firmly.
