Then, her tone became more urgent:

"How do you know this? Have you seen it?"

"I have seen it," Perlis nodded, "when we first landed."

"...!"

What Perlis and Carly said made Shaya silent. She didn't speak for a while, and Perlis could see her hands shaking.

After a while, she changed her tone and said:

"That is the Black Khan, the shepherd of the Black Tide Herd."

......

2) The Wave Rider on the Black Tide (Part 4)

Saya told Perlis and Carly a story, a story that went back to the time before the Black Tide came.

Long, long ago, Qilang had a neighboring country called Mengkaer. That country on the grassland had a vast territory, abundant animal husbandry, and free nomads galloping on the grassland and dancing with wolves.

But later, due to the development of modern civilization, the Great Union extended an invitation to the Great Khan of the Mongkar nation, promising to use modern technology to comprehensively transform them, so that their lives could move towards modernization and share the convenience of technology.

As a price, Monkar needs to allow the [Great Union] to develop factor energy mines on the territory as a reward for joining the Union.

The Great Khan could not resist the temptation, agreed to the request, and erected a tall drilling rig on the grassland.

As the days passed, the people of Mengkar lived better and better. They rode their horses less and less frequently. Roads were built on the grassland. The blue sky turned gray due to the day and night emissions from the drilling rigs, and the sunny grassland became a thing of the past.

But no one cared, and the newly born Monkar citizens no longer took horse riding as a compulsory course, and they gradually lost their ability to be nomadic.

Later, the black tide came in overwhelming force, and dark waves gushed out from Monkar's drilling wells, swallowing up the grassland.

The Great Khan of Monkhar wanted to organize an army, but found that they still only had the most primitive means of fighting - the Great Union made their lives full of technology, but never allowed their armaments to evolve.

The free nomadic people unknowingly turned into a pack of captive wolves and degenerated into dogs.

No one knew where the Khan ended up, because Mongkar was swept away overnight, and the grassland turned into a dark tomb, burying the nomadic civilization.

However, a hundred years later, on the plains of the Black Tide Land, people would occasionally witness a black demon riding a wolf and holding a bow, shooting huge arrows into the sky.

Some people say that he was the former Great Khan of Mongkar, whose name has long disappeared in the long river of history.

Over time, that being was called the [Black Khan], the leader of the [Black Tide Herd], the person with the highest authority to drive the wolf pack.

"..."

Listening to Shaya telling the story of the Black Khan, Perlis once again marveled at the vastness of this world.

She even thought that the [Lord of the Black Tide] was the leader of the entire herd and the top of the Black Tide ecosystem.

Unexpectedly, due to the huge size of the world, different leaders have already split into countless forces.

In an instant, the heavy sense of the history of the Kuroshio land hit Perlis in the face, making it a little breathless.

"..."

As the motorcycle drove farther and farther on the dark plain, soon a wisp of smoke appeared among the hills not far away.

"We're here," Shaya said, "The camp is just ahead."

"Are there any others?" Perlis asked, "your accomplices?"

"What accomplice... speechless..." Saya smiled helplessly, "It's a companion. Walking on the land of Kuroshio, one person can't handle it."

"Where are you taking us?" Carly asked.

"Hmm... the nearest Great Wall is the Western Great Wall, which is close to Qingcheng. It will take [Land Turtle] about two days to travel there."

"[Land Tortoise]?" Perlis frowned slightly, "That is..."

Before Perlis finished her words, she had already seen the answer with her own eyes:

It was an RV, with a camouflage net on the back, covered with crystals formed by the followers of the Black Tide.

In the camp near the RV, the bonfire was sending smoke into the sky and into the fiery clouds.

There were two people sitting by the campfire, both girls.

Hearing the sound of the engine, one of them looked up and stood up immediately.

"..."

Saya stopped the motorcycle next to the camp, then got off the motorcycle gracefully, took off her motorcycle helmet, and revealed her true face.

She was a girl who looked about the same age as Perlis, with black hair hanging down and a wheat whip on the side, with blue highlights in between. Her eyes were azure blue, like the sea beyond the black tide.

On Shaya's ears, Perlis saw a pair of wired noise-cancelling headphones, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Why do you wear headphones? Is it to listen to music? When walking on the Kuroshio land, the more information the better, right?

"..."

Perlis and Carly got out of the car and loosened their restraints. Shaya ran to the Qilang man who stood up in the corridor and shouted quickly:

"...They witnessed the Black Khan on the west coast. They must report to the Symbolic Council immediately. There is no time to delay..."

"...I understand. I will set off as soon as possible to the nearest base station..."

The person who was talking to Saya was a girl with short light blue hair. She was wearing a military uniform and had a gun on her waist. She was obviously well-trained.

After promising Shaya that she would go out and deliver the message, the military girl walked up to Perlis and Carly and saluted them:

"Qi Lang is the second-class sergeant major of the Black Special Corps. Su Yao greets the two guests."

Her eyes were so bright that for a moment Perlis felt as if the sun was burning in them.

"You two have come from afar, please take a rest here, I will be back soon."

The attitude is quite good... Perlis nodded slightly and couldn't help asking:

"It sounds like we are important?"

"After all, you two are distinguished guests who were directly ordered to be escorted by the [Symbol Society]," Su Yao smiled gently, "Okay, you two take a rest first, I'm leaving."

After saying that, she got on Saya's motorcycle and rode away.

[Symbolic Society]...I have heard them mention it twice, what exactly is it?

Why do we need to find a base station to transmit information? Is it possible that this land of Kuroshio... cannot communicate?

Seeing Perlis's confused expression, Shaya, who had just walked over, explained:

"The Symbolic Society is the highest commanding organization in Qi Lang. Su Yao went to send them a message. After all, the appearance of the Black Khan means that this area needs to be put on high alert."

"Why do we have to go outside to look for a base station? Isn't there one in the RV?" Carly pointed at the Tortoise next to her.

"Yes, there is, but the signal in the Kuroshio Corrosion Zone is very unstable, and the small base station in our car can only connect to the west side of the Great Wall. The information has to go through several turns, and the speed is very slow," Shaya explained. "The headquarters of the Symbol Society is in Chaoqu City, the capital of Qilang, which is far away."

"Is our destination also there?" said Perlis.

"Well, the sender you mentioned is a member of the Symbol Society. She asked me to pick you up, and then she should let you go to Chaoqu City."

Saya said, waving her hand gently and said with a smile:

"Don't just stand there, go rest by the campfire for a while. I'll probably pack up and we'll be ready to go tomorrow morning."

2) The Wave Rider on the Black Tide (Part 5)

After giving the instructions, Saya went straight into the RV, apparently to pack her things.

Watching her back disappear at the door of the RV, Carly gently pulled the corner of Perlis's clothes and whispered in her ear:

"Little White Flower, you didn't let your guard down, did you?"

"Of course not, I'm always keeping an eye on them," Perlis whispered, "But they don't look like bad people."

"Not necessarily a bad person, but not necessarily a good person either," Carly also lowered her voice, "They didn't seem to notice your white hair and red eyes, which means that the people of Qilang may not know the whole story of what happened back then."

Indeed... This reminded Perlis. Neither Shaya nor Su Yao had any reaction to Perlis's appearance from the beginning till now.

To Su Yao, Pearlis seemed to be just "a distinguished guest who was instructed by her superiors to be treated well", and it seemed that she herself was unaware of Pearlis's specialness.

The group of people in front of us don’t seem to be bad people, but we cannot rule out the possibility that they are helping bad people.

That [symbol] would give Perlis a bad feeling...just like...the Federation's [college].

Never mind, let’s talk about it after we get in touch.

"..."

Polys and Carly nodded to each other, then walked to the campfire and sat on the ground.

There was an iron bucket hanging above the campfire, with something cooking inside. Bubbles were coming out with a "gurgling" sound, mixed with a hint of meaty aroma.

Opposite the campfire, a girl wearing a beige soft hat was kneeling gracefully, writing something in her notebook.

She had black hair that fell smoothly against her soft face. Her eyes were dark as ink, as deep as the night sky, and seemed to contain the brilliance of the entire starry sky.

The girl was writing quietly, pushing her round-framed glasses up from time to time, as if she was thinking, and she didn't notice the arrival of Pearlis and Carly at all.

You look so serious...What are you writing?

Neither Polys nor Carly disturbed her, but just sat quietly by the campfire and rested.

"Come to think of it, that [Alpha Wolf] can actually create high temperatures, just like Aoi. How terrifying."

As Carly spoke to Perlis, she recalled the branch-shaped golden pulses spreading across the body of the pitch-black beast, and she couldn't help but feel a little shudder.

"I thought the dark followers were all like fish, but I didn't expect the herds on the other side to be so terrifying."

"Well, if Miss Shaya hadn't shown up in time, we might have been in a tough fight," Perlis nodded. "By the way, speaking of this..."

Thinking of this, Perlis raised the bracelet and poured a large amount of destructive factor into it.

If the gravitational black hole created by the "Alpha Wolf" can make all the destructive factors around it disappear completely, then what Perlis has to do is to ensure that she has enough factors to supply energy in the next battle.

Now she doesn't need the factor bracelet to control the factor energy at will, so the capacity of this bracelet can be entirely reserved for factor storage.

Before the next battle, even if all the surrounding factors disappear, Perlis can quickly absorb them from the bracelet and perform a series of operations.

I was careless this time...but it's actually not a big problem...after all, we still have Bai Yan.

Thinking of this, Perlis summoned a small white flame in the palm of her hand and looked at it quietly.

Suddenly, a curious voice came from the other side of the campfire:

"Um, is that the [Pure White Fireworks]?"

This conversation instantly made Perlis and Carly alert—someone actually knew about the existence of [Pure White Fireworks]! This obviously didn't seem like information that everyone knew.

The two of them raised their heads suddenly and met the girl's curious eyes:

She had raised her head from the book and was looking at Pearlis.

"How did you know?" Perlis was a little wary.

"I'm a writer," the girl said softly, "and I've done a lot of research on myths, legends, and historical texts."

Having said this, the girl stood up, came to Perlis's side, and looked closely at the small white flame.

"It's incredible that we can still see the Hafurgard tribe alive."

"You...know...?"

"Don't worry, Shaya doesn't know, Su Yao doesn't know, they don't need to know."

The girl said, tilting her head and smiling quietly at Perlis:

"My name is Tianshi... It's a pen name, but I usually only use the pen name."

"Hello..." Perlis blinked, "My name is Perlis, Perlis Hafgard."

"You are the last Hafurgard..." the little writer who calls himself a sweet poem murmured, "My senior brother said that he fought with your father and met your mother, and he was deeply impressed."

"Brother?"

"Li Zhonghe, the wine fairy," the young writer smiled sweetly, "the fifth seat of the Great Wall Guardian, the sword-dancing fairy."

When the name [Drunken Immortal] Li Zhonghe was mentioned, Perlis immediately recalled the white afterimage that she had seen in her father's memory.

She had never seen anyone wield a sword in that way, and there was no doubt that Li Zhonghe was a powerful warrior.

[Guardian of the Great Wall] Ah... It seems to be a superior unit with equal combat power to [Blade of Babel].
