According to Carly's calculations, the data of the third key will be available in at most one month.

The situation was optimistic, and it was originally like this.

"..."

After arriving at the Wulan Operations Center, Su Yao saw those people with gloomy faces at a glance. They all looked in a bad mood, and Su Yao knew why.

This is because, two hours ago, the [Lord of the Black Tide] was observed again.

......

9) Small and Ordinary (Part 3) -4k chapter-

In fact, Qi Lang has never stopped tracking the Lord of the Black Tide since it was first observed. The Sky Eye would occasionally launch missile strikes against the Lord of the Black Tide, but little effect was observed.

Most of the missiles were randomly intercepted in mid-air by the Lord of the Black Tide. There seemed to be a transparent barrier within a hundred miles around the black statue that nothing could pass through.

However, in the rare encounters outside the Great Wall, there were records of hitting the [Lord of the Black Tide] - the sixth seat of [Protector of the Great Wall], [Wolf Walker] Buriged, said in a desperate close-range detection that he successfully hit that guy with a laser weapon. Although it did not cause any substantial damage, it was ultimately a practical result.

The Qilang military immediately started research and development and large-scale installation of laser weapons. When the Lord of the Black Tide arrived at the foot of the Great Wall, he would probably receive a very warm reception.

After all, according to His marching speed, it would take two months to reach the foot of the Great Wall, which gave the Qilang people relatively ample time to prepare.

However, this time was broken.

"..."

Su Yao looked at the report on the command board with a worried look on her face. It showed that the [Lord of the Black Tide] would arrive at the foot of the Great Wall in less than half a month.

"...That guy's movement speed has doubled," Su Yao heard an unbelievable voice from the side, "This time the distance between the two observation points is more than twice as long as last time..."

Yes, the speed of the [Lord of the Black Tide] suddenly increased, and in an incredible way.

The previous observation point was an entire mountain range east of Qilang. According to the original speculation of the Qilang observer, the black tide army led by that guy should take more time to get out after entering the mountains.

Yet, He jumped right over the mountain.

Why is this? In fact, the Qilang people have always known it, but they have been praying that the Lord of the Black Tide will not use that power for marching.

"Space folding..." Su Yao murmured.

"Miss Su Yao, are you feeling better?"

Su Yao turned around and found that Carly came behind her, holding a cup of coffee, with faint dark circles around her eyes.

It's time for Miss Scholar to take a break.

"Much better. Let me see if there is anything I can do." Su Yao said with a wry smile.

"Little White Flower told me that you should rest for a while longer," Carly sighed, "But now, I guess no one can persuade you."

Both men knew what the findings meant—there was simply not enough time to decode them.

If the third key cannot be found, it means that the Lord of the Black Tide cannot be stopped outside the Great Wall.

Everyone on the frontier would become a victim of the first wave of attack.

Perhaps, after a month of decoding, Perlis will be able to take the [Shattered Star] to fight against the [Lord of the Black Tide], but before that, all the cities on the border of Qilang will probably have become a paradise for the Black Tide.

The same is true for Qingcheng.

Thinking of this, Su Yao clenched her fists tightly, and her childhood memories surfaced again.

"It seems that we need to take the initiative to find the third key," Carly thought, "Although the last reconnaissance operation did not produce any results, I personally think that the key should be in the dead zone."

"Why?" Su Yao asked.

"It's simple, it depends on who wants to use the key." Carly said decisively.

Whether it is the [Black Angel], [Black Khan], or [Blackwater Scholar], the forces that drive them are essentially the Academi Federation headed by Laplace.

One key is in the hands of the Black Tide Cult of the Black Angel, and the other is in the hands of the Black Water Scholar. This is enough to explain the problem.

The third block is most likely also within the [black dead zone].

"How long will it take for the black fog to dissipate?" Carly looked at the scholar beside her.

"One and a half days to be exact," the scholar replied, "two days at the longest."

"It seems like we have to go inside and take a look next time we go," Carly thought thoughtfully, "At least we have to let Little White Flower and I go to that laboratory together."

Su Yao was about to say "I want to go too", but she remembered what Perlis said in front of the bed, and finally lowered her head in disappointment.

“It feels like there’s so little I can do.”

"That's not the case. Miss Su Yao has done her best. After all, cooperation requires division of labor," Carly said lightly, "There's no need to force yourself. It's unnecessary and will only increase your demons."

"I know the truth," Su Yao sighed, "but..."

But she still wanted to do more.

Now, when the [Lord of the Black Tide] is about to approach the border, the civilians of Qilang still don't know what is happening outside. At most, they have blocked a few roads and closed a few doors.

Such a beautiful scene will be shattered along with the Great Wall.

How long can the Great Wall hold out against the Lord of the Black Tide? No one knows.

"..."

"Well, I'll be busy first. I have to speed up the decoding. Maybe I can find a breakthrough." Carly took a sip of coffee and waved at Su Yao. "Don't push yourself too hard. Have a good rest."

"You too, take some rest." Su Yao forced a smile.

After watching Carly's back disappear in the crowd at the combat center, Su Yao looked at the largest screen, watching the trajectory of the [Lord of the Black Tide] along the way.

The battle for the survival of civilization is coming.

"..."

Su Yao turned around and prepared to report to the officer to see if she could share some of the work at the base.

Just then, a loud shout came from somewhere in the command center:

"The black fog has dissipated! The black fog has dissipated!"

Su Yao turned her head suddenly and looked at the big screen. As expected, in the real-time monitoring of the [Black Dead Zone], the black fog was slowly turning into nothingness.

How can it be...

......

After saying goodbye to Yi Qian, Perlis tore open the rift, traveled all the way from Sea Mist Island to the White Flame Church, and once again opened the door of the church and walked out.

This time it was a short distance shuttle and would not create such a big noise, but the difference was that this time there were many believers in the church praying early in the morning, so they almost witnessed the entire process of Perlis coming out of the rift.

Now I have to believe it.

"Hua Men!" "White Flame! Look at me!" "God bless me!"

"..."

Amid the prayers of the believers, Perlis covered her face as if fleeing, tore open the rift again, and came to the university in the upper city.

As soon as she came out of the crack, a familiar breath came from behind Perlis. She subconsciously drew out her butterfly knife and pointed it behind her, and met a pair of red-gold eyes.

"Ms. Perlis, you are still so vigilant..."

Leaning at the end of the school corridor was Aloi Aziz. He had obviously been waiting for a long time, his red-gold eyes staring at Perlis, but there was almost no cunning light in them.

"Why are you here?" Perlis whispered.

"It seems that my allies didn't tell you that I'm here," Aloi waved his hand, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, you can't do anything to me. I'm protecting..."

Before he could finish his words, Perlis appeared in front of the venomous snake in a flash of red light and held his neck with a butterfly knife:

"I'm warning you," Perlis whispered, "If you have any bad intentions towards them, give up as soon as possible."

“I don’t,” hissed Aloi. “I’m at my wit’s end.”

Perlis looked up at Prince Aloi's face. Viper looked much older than the last time they met, and Perlis knew that this oldness actually had nothing to do with age.

Not everyone can survive after their ambitions are destroyed again and again.

The girl didn't say anything in the end. She put away the butterfly knife and turned away.

Seeing the girl getting farther and farther away from him, Prince Aloi wanted to say a lot, but in the end he just said:

"Don't let yourself die, Havrgard."

Without even turning her head, Perlis disappeared at the end of the corridor.

In the quiet corridor, Aloi was the only one left.

......

After meeting with Ashlia and Pace again, Perlis briefly explained what she had seen and heard, and told them all the information truthfully.

However, there is no point in telling them. After all, it is the matter of the other side. Perlis just thinks that nothing should be hidden from the allies.

As Perlis cleaned up the black water in the city, ordinary people in the kingdom gradually began to return to their homes from Lake Shiplanda. Everyone was laughing and talking about the coming of the white flame, and no one knew that disaster was imminent.

But until the dark clouds come, the optimism is great.

"..."

It was already morning when Perlis returned to the kingdom. Eshilia invited her to stay in the kingdom for a day to see what the ground looked like now. But Perlis refused. The girl's instinct told her that the situation on the other side would not stop deteriorating. As one of the core figures, she had to return to her position as soon as possible.

Finally, she promised Ashlia that she would leave after lunch.

So, at 31 Pixi Street, Polys and her two old friends had another meal.

"Remember this strawberry yogurt? It's a local variety from La Vatino. You said it was delicious last time." Ashilia smiled as she looked at Polys who was drinking milk.

"Did I say that?" Perlis smiled softly, "But it's really delicious."

"Last time we parted, I said I would show you a brand new kingdom, remember?" Ashilia suddenly felt a little embarrassed. "What do you think... um... how did I do?"

Ashilia recalled how she had once immaturely yelled at Perlis and took her anger out on her. As she gradually became a qualified queen, the night when she yelled at Perlis became a hurdle in her heart.

And Perlis seemed to have forgotten about this matter.

"I think you did a great job. Everything in the kingdom is great, and the White Flame Cathedral is beautiful," Perlis nodded. "It's just that sculpture, it's a bit..."

"puff..."

Pace, who had been silent, suddenly snorted. He quickly wiped his mouth with his hands and waved:

"Feel sorry."

"Ok?"

Perlis keenly noticed that Pace's eyes did not seem to be looking at her, and she couldn't help but murmured:

"Young Master must have done something bad that I don't know about."

"No." Pace retorted subconsciously.

"Hmm..." Perlis glanced at Pace distrustfully, then took another sip of strawberry yogurt.

There were only three people in the room, and Ashlia had originally wanted to throw a big banquet to welcome the distinguished guests. But considering that the war could start at any time and supplies would soon become scarce, she had to compromise.

Pearlis didn't care. For her, having a meal with friends was more important.

"It will be a long time before we meet again this time," Perlis murmured, "maybe we will never meet again."

"Why?" Pace looked worried, "Is the situation on the other side... very dangerous?"

The two looked at Perlis worriedly. The girl's face remained calm, but there was a hint of sadness hidden in it.

She actually wanted to talk to the two of them, to tell them how dangerous it would be to fight against the [Lord of the Black Tide], and to tell them that if she had to transform into a [Star Seed], she would die and would no longer be herself.

No one knew what would happen next, and confusion enveloped everyone.

"It's okay, just pretend I didn't say anything. I'll be back."

Perlis smiled gently, raised the glass of strawberry yogurt, and toasted to the two of them:

"You guys need to be well."

Ashlia and Pace looked at each other, then raised their glasses and clinked them lightly with Pearlis.

"We will meet again, for sure."

......

"How's it going?"
