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

As Saya said this, Perlis gently rubbed her wrist.

The terrain was destroyed? Obviously, this could only be the result of that incident.

——The fall of Hafjargad.

The fall happened to destroy the ground base station of the space-based weapons? This doesn't sound like a coincidence at all.

"So, there should be some landmarks in the area, right?" Carly asked.

"Of course there is, that's what I'm going to say next," Saya sighed, "That area is too large and basically has been completely changed beyond recognition. I'm afraid even Master would have trouble finding the target location."

The master she was talking about was [Wolf Walker] Burigede, the [Guardian of the Great Wall] who roamed outside the Great Wall.

If even he can't find it, then I'm afraid no one can find it quickly.

"If there is enough time, I should be able to find it," Perlis frowned, "but there is not enough time."

"In this case, we can only seek help from nearby human settlements to see if they have any relevant clues," said Shaya.

"There are human settlements nearby?" Carly was a little surprised.

"Yes," Saya nodded, "It's right here."

The girl said as she pointed to the map of the area and marked an exact spot.

"This settlement is called [Yuanzhen]. As the name suggests, it is far away from the Great Wall. It has been struggling in the Kuroshio ecosystem for a long time, so it is very familiar with the surrounding environment and should be able to provide clues."

Seeing the name "Far Town", Perlis immediately recalled what Shaya said when she parted with her at the West Great Wall:

"...I just received a message from Yuanzhen, saying that he can't hold on any longer, so I have to go there early..."

After sending Perlis to Qilang, Shaya's next task was to deliver supplies to Qilang.

However, because the Eastern Great Wall was blocked at that time, Shaya did not go out. In the end, it was Buzhigede, the [Wolf Walker], who completed the resource transportation.

Without these wave riders transporting resources to them, they might not have been able to survive.

It sounds like a troubled place.

"So, you should know why I am so important now!" Shaya patted her shaking chest proudly, "I have delivered that piece of land many times, I am very familiar with it, even the mayor knows me!"

Having said that, if you have someone familiar with the local area as a guide, it can really save a lot of time...

Looking at Shaya's expression, Perlis could only nod:

"You are not allowed to fight."

"Of course, of course. I can't fight either..." Saya smiled brightly, "But I do...wait a minute, there's something...!"

Saya suddenly became very alert, which startled both Perlis and Carly, and they immediately became alert.

They knew that this girl had the talent to listen to the sound of the Black Tide. If she sensed anything, it was most likely that the followers of the Black Tide were approaching.

However, at this moment, the door of the RV was pushed open:

"Hello, is this here?"

Aoi poked her head in, smiling, and behind her was Aoi, who looked reluctant, as if she was carrying her own child.

"It's you..." Carly breathed a sigh of relief, "Next time I'll have to let the little birdie keep a longer distance."

"Then I can hack it for you too," Lian stuck out her tongue, "How about this, will this lady help us?"

The two sisters looked at Shaya, who had a dazed expression. After a while, the latter responded and said with a smile:

"Ah, of course, of course, you are... Aoi and Rei, right? Miss Carly mentioned you, you're also that..."

"【Blade of Babel】," Aoi said, "But we are traitors."

"Ah...it should be a good thing?" Saya was a little confused.

"Anyway, repeat the plan again," Lian said, "perhaps I can offer some improvements."

"okay."

So, Saya began to tell Aoi and Lian about her plan.

On the side, Perlis and Carly looked at each other and noticed something wrong at the same time.

Why did Saya hear Aoi and Rei as "black water entities"?

...Maybe there is something wrong...Aoi's superpower is to manipulate temperature, and after reaching the other side, Perlis has been encountering beings that manipulate temperature...

And these beings, without exception, are all "black water entities", such as the [Black Khan].

Is it just a coincidence? Or is there an intrinsic connection? After all, Aoi doesn't look like a monster.

After Sakura Sugimori died and the [Black Dead Zone] appeared, where did Aoi and Rei go?

What are their life trajectories like? What was the truth back then?

While thinking, Perlis looked at the two sisters beside her. Aoi was talking to Saya in a very familiar manner, while Lian's face was a little gloomy, and it seemed that something was on her mind.

Perlis had a hunch that the mystery might be solved soon.

......

13) Elegy of Far Town (Part 3) -4k chapter-

【Fox Guard Pavilion】 - Qingcheng

"You still like to daydream."

Looking at the figure sitting on the edge of the attic overlooking Qingcheng, Luo Yan said in a low voice.

Even though she was aware of his arrival, she still had no intention of turning around. Her long black hair spread out on the floor like a waterfall, forming a lake-like scene.

"Will they break into Qingcheng?"

"I'm here to inform you that we have detected at least three advance troops," Luo Yan whispered, "assuming that the guy can use space folding... we predict that both the West Great Wall and the East Great Wall will be attacked."

"Yes, I understand."

Loulan still didn't turn around. She held the steaming teacup in front of her eyes and watched the steam from the tea blend into the mountains and waters of Qingcheng.

"General Luo Yan, I wish you good luck."

"Xiao Lou, if you are tired, then take a rest," Luo Yan said, "I am here to inform you that I will guard the border."

"I believe you."

After a few words of conversation, the two fell into silence, leaving only the misty water vapor in Qingcheng.

After a long time, Loulan turned around and nodded at Luo Yan, who had a thin face.

The pretty and gentle girl and the haggard and sickly man looked at each other at this moment.

"Goodbye."

After a brief goodbye, Luo Yan turned and left, leaving Lou Lan alone at the edge of the empty building.

......

Changhe River Basin - East Continent - 4 days until the Lord of the Black Tide reaches the Great Wall

After a whole day of traveling, the Tortoise RV moved along the dry riverbed and came to a relatively flat area.

According to Shaya, Yuan Town is not far ahead.

Along the way, Perlis saw a lot of broken debris on the dark irregular terrain. After carefully observing with her factor vision, she was sure that they were some war machines.

The wreckage had been corroded by darkness beyond recognition. If she hadn't used her factor vision to observe it, she would have probably thought it was just some broken landforms.

There was a big battle in this area...

Are they from Qilang? Or are they from the Federation back then?

Perlis kept these questions in her heart, because at this moment, Shaya in the cab shouted:

"We've arrived at Far Town!"

Perlis leaned out of the window and found that there were some buildings scattered on the plain in the distance, like a pile of building blocks scattered on the ground.

Uneven smoke rose from the irregular chimneys and drifted towards the sky that looked like it was burning, with a mixture of loneliness and desolation.

It was obvious that the people here didn't live well. This was Perlis's first impression of Far Town.

"..."

At this time, the RV suddenly stopped by the roadside, next to a stone building. Just as Perlis was feeling strange, Shaya came out of the cab and said:

"Everyone, wait for me, I'm going to get off the car to do something."

"I'll go with you." said Perlis. She was a little worried about Shaya's safety.

"Well, come on then."

Perlis nodded to Carly, then got out of the car with Shaya and came to the door of the stone building.

After taking a closer look, she realized that it was a simple temple, located so absurdly on the side of the road, and it seemed that no one cared about it.

"Every time I pass by, I go in and pay my respects," Shaya smiled at Perlis, "and this time is no exception."

"Who is this temple dedicated to?" asked Perlis.

"You'll know when you come in."

As Saya spoke, she took the lead and walked into the temple. Her usual lively steps became much more steady.

Could it be that Shaya also believed in the [Mother Goddess of Ersa]? Perlis guessed, because she couldn't think of any other gods that the Qilang people could worship.

However, when she walked into the temple and adjusted to the dark light inside, she was suddenly shocked -

——She had clearly seen that statue before.

It was a giant with three heads and six arms. The head in the middle was a majestic human figure, while the heads on both sides had one eye and looked quite creepy.

That is Maha the Extraditor, the Protector of the Great Wall.

Perlis had seen this being in historical memories. He had fought with Aleph, but also protected Aleph when a large-scale missile attack was about to occur.

Come to think of it, I haven’t seen this person since entering Qilang... Why is he enshrined in the temple?

"..."

Perlis watched Shaya light a stick of incense in front of the statue, then put her hands together and prayed silently.

After a while, she turned her head and said to Perlis:

"Mr. [Extrader] has been missing for many years. His last mission was to tear open the Black Tide's front and force them back. He has never returned since then."

"But after that, the black tide really never came from the direction he went. As a result, several major roads outside the Great Wall have always remained unobstructed and safe. Therefore, we wave riders who are away all year round worship him as a god."

Shaya smiled lightly, a little sadly:

"Master knows him and has told me many stories about him... Actually, in my eyes, he is more like an elder than a god..."

This temple is not dedicated to gods, but to humans.

Perlis nodded slightly and said:

"[The Great Wall's Protection] is part of the Great Wall."

......

After returning to the RV, Shaya continued to start the engine and soon arrived at the gate of Yuan Town.

The group was greeted by an area filled with machine guns and trenches. At the signal of the garrison, Shaya stopped the car for inspection.

Two soldiers in black robes got on the car. They looked like the scavengers that Perlis had seen in the Grau Yad Wasteland, with ragged clothes and empty eyes.

They quickly checked the interior of the RV, looking at Perlis and Carly in surprise as they passed by, and whispering to each other as they passed by Aoi and Lian.

Perlis didn't hear clearly what they were saying, but soon, they nodded to Shaya:

"You can go in."

"..."

In this way, the RV slowly drove into the distant town, entered the low and dilapidated city wall, and came to the human ecological area outside the long ancient city.

The RV stopped in front of a building in the center of the town. It was a large building that looked less dilapidated than the surrounding buildings, but it could not escape the corrosion of darkness.

"This is the office building in the center of town," Shaya said, locking the car. "Let's go find the mayor and ask him if he has any relevant information."

"You guys go, I'll set up the control first." Carly's eyes were shining blue and her fingers kept gesturing in the air.
