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

"I like it here." Perlis answered without hesitation.

If the rain in Wezel is cold and the rain in Wilkin is peaceful, then the rain in Qingcheng seems lively to Perlis.

As a rain addict, Perlis soon fell deeply in love with this feeling.

"Then you can take a break for a while. If you don't mind, you can come live at my house."

Tianshi smiled gently and cast her gaze towards the bow of the ship, at the endless green waves.

In front of them, there was a small wooden bridge across the river. Two girls in silk dresses were walking slowly on the bridge. Perlis noticed that they were holding small round umbrellas in their hands - they were made of oil paper.

The small raft passed under the wooden bridge, moved forward along the emerald waves, and soon reached a small bend.

After turning the bend, Perlis saw the shadow of an attic flickering in the mist and rain. The attic was at the end of the river and looked very far away.

"That's the Fox Guard Pavilion. You can visit it later."

Tianshi smiled lightly and shouted to the boatman:

"Uncle, just dock over there."

"Okay girl."

The raft slowly docked next to a small wooden platform. The group stood up, jumped from the shaking raft to the platform, and stood steadily.

"Thank you."

Tian Shi turned around and was about to pay the boatman with [Shi Hai], but she saw the old boatman using his oars to push the river bank and sail away with the boat:

"No need to pay, girls, you have beautiful smiles, just like my wife when she was young."

The old boatman whistled at the three people, and the small raft swayed and disappeared in the mist and rain, with only a few waves spreading on the river surface.

The praise left a little ripple in Perlis's heart. She turned to look at Carly, who nodded slightly:

“He’s very friendly.”

"That's not the full picture of Qingcheng people. Don't expect too much, or you'll be disappointed later." Tian Shi waved quietly towards the place where the old boatman disappeared, and turned around, "Let's go, we're here."

Perlis followed Tianshi and turned around, and found that in front of her was an ancient little restaurant with two red lanterns hanging at the door, swaying in the breeze.

The hotel had no signboard and looked very ordinary. If it weren't for Tianshi leading her, Pearlis felt that she would never have been able to find the place.

"I'd like to invite you to eat the most authentic Qingcheng cuisine."

......

3) The Great Wall (Part 8)

There were not many people in the restaurant, probably because lunch was coming to an end, so it seemed a little deserted, but that was also what Pearlis wanted.

This restaurant was different from the misty and rainy atmosphere outside. It was antique and festively decorated. Red lanterns were hung in every corner of the room, embroidered with Qilang characters that Perlis could not understand.

Later, she learned from Tianshi that it was the word "Fu", which symbolizes the Qilang people's yearning for a better life.

"..."

The three of them sat down under the red lantern in the corner. Tianshi greeted the man called "the waiter" and talked a lot, then paid for the meal with [Shihai].

Perlis memorized the payment process and thought she would practice it once in the future.

As the restaurant was not too busy, the dishes were quickly served: braised pork with sauce and cut into neat squares; clean white tofu; tender white steamed fish sprinkled with chopped green onions; a broth mixed with vegetables and meat balls; and green small pastries in the shape of words.

Finally, the waiter brought a bowl of rice to the group, spoke a few words of Qilang language to Tianshi, which Perlis did not quite understand, then took out a pen and paper and asked her to sign.

Tianshi signed her name quietly and then smiled at the waiter, who ran back to the counter excitedly.

"Are you a fan?" Carly asked.

"Well, he gave me the small cakes for free."

Tianshi explained, adding a bowl of rice to each of Perlis and Carly:

"Eat it quickly, it tastes better while it's hot."

So, Perlis enjoyed this sumptuous Qilang meal.

The taste of this meal is completely different from the Federation cuisine. If the food of the Federation people is at best a necessity to fill their stomachs, then Qilang cuisine can be called an art. The combination of each seasoning just stimulates the taste of the ingredients themselves and promotes them, which has the power to turn decay into magic.

Perlis quickly finished a bowl of rice with the food, and she added another bowl for herself, her chopsticks moving constantly.

"I've never seen Little White Flower eat so deliciously..." Carly smiled helplessly, "But it's really delicious..."

"It's fine as long as you're used to it," Tianshi sipped the soup. "What do you usually eat there?"

Carly then started communicating with Tianshi, while Perlis concentrated on finishing the dishes on the table. When her third bowl of rice was finished, she realized that she seemed to have eaten a little too much.

I usually have a small stomach, but I ate too much without noticing... Oops...

"belch..."

Perlis burped uncontrollably. Seeing her cute appearance like a little animal, Carly gently rubbed her belly:

"You're eating too fast, idiot."

"It's delicious," Perlis leaned back on the wooden chair, "Gu..."

"Take a rest," Tian Shi said, "Well... Let's go to my house in the afternoon. When Su Yao comes back, we can discuss going to Chaoqu City."

That's right... We are not here for vacation now. We are going to Chaoqu City to find the sender and get information about [Engraved Ink] and [White Flame Star] from him.

Perlis's somewhat hazy consciousness after dinner suddenly became clear, and she suddenly realized that such comfort was a kind of degradation!

But the food is really delicious...it's not too much to take a break...

"..."

Just by looking at Perlis's expression, Carly instantly imagined her entire set of psychological activities.

She gently rubbed Perlis's head and said:

"It's okay. I've been running around outside for so many days. It's okay to take a rest for a while."

"Um..."

Perlis responded softly, then put all her body weight on the chair and relaxed.

After hearing the conversation between Perlis and Carly, Tianshi thought for a moment and then asked:

"You two came from the mainland island. Do you have anything to do?"

Her eyes fell on Perlis, and it was obvious that she knew Perlis's identity.

Hearing this, Perlis and Carly exchanged glances:

Su Yao and Sha Ya are not here, and Tian Shi seems to be an insider. Should I tell her?

Tian Shi seemed to see their doubts, smiled quietly and said:

"I think it has something to do with the Lord of the Black Tide?"

"Did you know...?"

"Yes, Master mentioned that he was once a [Holy Envoy of Heaven] named Coles Hafgard, and he became a monster after being infected by the black tide."

Tian Shi recalled, adjusted the small beige soft hat on her head, and continued:

"He is at the top of the Black Tide ecosystem. Even the high-level Black Tide ecosystems such as [Black Khan], [Earth Vein], [Kraken], [Jellyfish Cloud], and [Black Dragon] are below him and will not invade his territory."

I heard so many Kuroshio high-level bodies all at once... It's so scary...

Perlis thought about it, and suddenly noticed the sentence at the end of the sweet poem, so she asked:

"Do the Qilang people know where the territory of the Lord of the Black Tide is?"

"It's far outside the East Great Wall, but basically no one can get close to it. It is said that just being watched by the Lord of the Black Tide will kill you. Qi Lang's flying scouts often lose contact in that area, so we can roughly confirm an area, but we can't pinpoint his location."

After hearing Tian Shi's words, Perlis quickly determined one of the destinations for this trip -

——The Spire of Hafgard, in the area outside the Eastern Great Wall.

As early as in the illusion of [the core of the Tower of Babel], Perlis saw the Lord of the Black Tide guarding the spire, and his location was the location of the spire.

But, do the people of Qilang know that the Lord of the Black Tide is marching towards the Great Wall? Do they need to be reminded?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, Perlis remembered the gunship "Blue Sky Fortress" that blocked out the sky and shook her head.

What are they thinking? How could they not know...

"..."

In exchange for information, Perlis told Tianshi one of the purposes of her coming to Qilang: to end the life of the [Lord of the Black Tide] and then reach the Hafrigard Spire.

Tianshi listened to what Perlis said quietly, then smiled:

"I have confidence in you."

"really?"

"Well, Miss Perlis's fighting style is very powerful, at least it's [Star Flame]."

"..."

For some reason, when Perlis heard that Tianshi even knew [Star Flame], she felt a little bit unsurprising.

She seems to know everything...

"Ms. Sweet Poetry's fighting style is also amazing," Carly said, "Well... her style is also..."

"Excuse me for making fun of you two, but my fighting style is more exciting." Tianshi explained quietly.

More excited...? Then they are two people...

Looking at Tian Shi's quiet smile, Perlis suddenly remembered the day when she transformed a crystal into the Embroidered Spring Knife.

"Ms. Sweetie, speaking of which, how is your weapon..."

Pearlis gestured a few times, but still couldn't express herself clearly, and she couldn't help feeling discouraged.

Tianshi easily understood what she meant, and then fumbled in her bag as if nothing had happened:

"Hmm... this..."

Then, the thing she took out made Perlis' eyes slightly startled——

——It was a [Star Diamond], exactly the same as the one on the [White Flame Star]!

(The note found at the church door was torn in half and had a fishy smell)

If you are reading this message, it means you have lost contact with the main force. Please do not panic and ignore the abnormality around you. It is just a clumsy illusion. Please be firm and determined, and do not waver.

The following are emergency rules. Please follow them as much as possible to maximize our chances of finding your location.

1. After drawing the curtains, please don't be anxious. Wait until it becomes completely dark outside the window, pick up the candle on the table and walk out of the room.

Second, if the candle unfortunately goes out during the exploration, please make sure you can use a substitute to provide a light source within five meters of your field of vision. If not, please return to the house immediately and wait for the candle to light up again.

Third, fish are terrestrial creatures that walk on land and build civilizations. If you see fish on the street, please play as them, treat them as your own kind, and imitate their every move.

Fourth, after leaving the house, please look for the church. Make sure the surface of the church is inlaid with algae and shells, then push the door and enter.

5. Please look for the catacombs of the church and ignore any noises you hear on the way. Everything in the catacombs is Gudella artifacts, not real.
