Chapter 136 A Kind-hearted Passerby 2.0
Yan Shi: ?
She froze for a moment, then looked again.
They were truly standing on the edge of a cliff, with a pitch-black unknown ahead.
It was as if no light could penetrate.
Christie stood in front of her, her expression unreadable: "The Death Throne you want."
Yan Shi walked over to Christie and looked down.
Below was also a bottomless darkness.
"Does this place still belong to Zhanzhou Floating Island?" Yan Shi asked.
It's important to know that Zhanzhou Floating Island is floating, with blue skies, white clouds, and the capital city below.
Where did such a dark abyss come from?
Christie chuckled. "Yes, I have no reason to lie to you. Besides," she paused, "if anything happens to you while you're with me, Director Yan will be coming after me."
“This is the very bottom of the Jambudvipa, and below that is the Throne of Death.” Her lips remained curved in a slight upturn.
The fog in the surrounding woods grew thicker, and deep within the woods, there seemed to be a hooded figure standing quietly, watching Yan Shi and Christie on the path.
The cold air is getting stronger.
Yan Shi looked around again: "Principal, could you send the route here to the director when we get back, and have the director send it to me?"
"You want to come back another day?" Christie shrugged. "Of course, you're welcome anytime. But, if you're walking this road alone," she said meaningfully, "you're on your own."
"Bear the consequences yourself?" Yan Shi's eyes lit up even more. "Good, that's even more suitable."
Christie: ?
"What are you going to do?" she asked, puzzled.
“I felt this path was perfect for me when I was walking along it.” Yan Shi approached the woods at the edge of the path, carefully examined it, and nodded in satisfaction. “Look! There’s even an atmosphere set inside.”
Christie: ?
What atmosphere group? She almost blurted it out.
That is the old image of the dead.
Ignoring Christie's somewhat broken smile, Yan Shi continued, "Isn't this a ready-made location for a practical lesson?"
The more she thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. "I'll order a few crystal balls and throw them into this forest. If we find them, the experiment will be complete."
Christie's smile vanished, and she slowly asked, "Where is the practical lesson location? What lesson did Xiao Cun ask you to teach?"
"Advanced Spell Application." Yan Shi recalled the course name, which was somewhat unfamiliar and difficult for her to pronounce. "Principal, you also think it's particularly suitable, right? Since everyone is taking Advanced Spell Application, the students won't be too bad. The intensity here is just right."
Christie: ...
“This place is not open to students,” she said expressionlessly.
And it has been decided to add this to the school rules tomorrow.
Yan Shi suddenly shrugged and smiled, then his expression turned blank. "Principal, this is interesting. When did this happen?"
“I didn’t see anything in the school rules saying there were any forbidden areas in Zhanzhou.” Yan Shi moved closer, staring into Christie’s eyes. “Or are you saying you suppressed the undead here to prevent the news from leaking out?”
She sneered, "Zhan Zhou has already recorded and cleared away the spirits of the dead, living right next to so many students. Eldridge, you have quite the nerve."
Christie: "I can keep those in the know silent forever."
"Want to fight?" Yan Shi whistled. "Sure. Lots of people want to fight me."
Christie, of course, also witnessed the duel between Yanlan and Dongtong at the Jiangling banquet.
Besides being a water-elemental archmage, Yanlan was also a deceased person.
The land of the dead beneath Zhanzhou has a similar blessing on Yanlan and Christie.
Christie curled her fingers. "How could that be? I sincerely brought you here to retrieve the Death Throne. The undead are all suppressed underground and cannot easily escape."
"I just feel that it's not really a good idea to bring students here."
Yan Shi: "Then where is the Death Throne?"
“I’m not lying to you.” Christie pointed to the abyss. “This is the Death Throne.”
"The Death Throne is the bottom of the entire floating island of Zhanzhou. We are now standing in the place closest to the throne."
Yan Shi remained silent once more, gazing into the unfathomable unknown ahead. "Principal, if that's the case, how should the Death Throne be retrieved?"
Christie sat down on the edge of the cliff, her legs swinging loosely. "I can't get it out."
Yan Shi: ...?
Is Christie trying to force a sale on her?
Since it can't be withdrawn, it can't be returned either.
"What if I insist on taking it today?" Yan Shi sneered.
“I don’t care,” Christie said, “but if that happens, then Yanlan, you’ll really be fully responsible for the collapse of Zhanzhou Floating Island.”
Yan Shi immediately understood what Christie meant.
“After all,” Christie said slowly, “I’ve already said that the Death Throne is the foundation of the floating island of Chancery. Without a base, the island will naturally collapse.”
“Yanlan,” she looked up at Yanshi and smiled, “you are free, so why do you insist on taking on this unfree situation?”
The path was completely dark, shrouded in gloom. In the thin mist, Christie's eyes seemed to hold an even thicker fog.
"Yanlan, let's go back."
Yan Shi seemed to be thinking: "If that's the case, I think it's pretty good."
Christie: ?
“I don’t even need to change out of the Undead Halberd,” Yan Shi said, his eyes squinting. “Zhan Zhou has been gone for over twenty years, and the spiritual energy in the outer world is thin, which is of no benefit to the students’ cultivation.”
“I’ll help you move the Chapel of the Dead back to its original location.” She nodded. “That way, the Throne of Death can also be removed, and your place will be much larger.”
"I was just a kind passerby who was happy to help others."
Christie: !
"You're insane!" she exclaimed.
“Principal,” Yan Shi sat down next to her, placed the Deathbringer Halberd on the other side, and looked down while resting his head in his hands, “Why do you say that?”
That's really impolite.
Christie's lips twitched: "You guys wanted to move to the surface world back then. And now, after only a few years, you want to move back."
Do you think Zhan Zhou is some kind of large-scale model toy?
Yan Shi said in surprise, "Eh? I'm not from the Bureau of Dissidents, and I have nothing to do with the Bureau of Single Affairs."
“I’m only here today to retrieve the Death Throne. So,” she said casually, “I don’t care what the Death Throne has to do with this floating island. If you can retrieve it, great; if not, I’ll help you move it.”
Christie: "It's really impossible to remove it."
"Oh, then let's move it." Yan Shi shrugged. "Notify the students tonight, start tomorrow, and I'll have it the day after tomorrow."
"Do you know why Zhan Zhou moved to the Surface World in the first place?" Christie suddenly interrupted her.
Yan Shi turned his head to the side: "Why?"
