"Pfft." Meng was holding a copy of the Brilliant Daily from a few days ago, and laughed, "Aren't they all the same person?"
As he spoke, his eyes turned towards Sigourney with a playful look.
Sigourney was holding the latest Brilliant Daily in her hand, which had published a number of outstanding submissions that stood out from the crowd. They were extremely imaginative, fluently written, with a lingering plot with many twists and turns. They contained all the popular melodramatic plots, and were worthy of being the manuscript that had defeated countless opponents and won Yolande's favor.
You, Lan, Germany.
Sigourney half-narrowed her dark red eyes and raised the corners of her lips as if she was about to smile. Very good.
He just didn't believe that a guy with Yolande's brain would not have guessed the true identities of Mr. Wandering Soul and his mistress.
Yolande, who was still in Leigu Town, remotely controlling the manuscript selection operation of the Brilliant Daily while waiting for Ash and the others to return from the abyss, was enjoying afternoon tea leisurely when he suddenly felt a chill on his back and shivered. The fine white porcelain cup in his hand was knocked over, and the warm tea poured onto his romantic and beautiful skirt, staining a large area.
"Ah! My skirt!" He felt so distressed that he quickly performed a skilled cleaning technique and then heaved a sigh of relief.
He never expected that the murderous vampire who was about to destroy all his pretty dresses was already on his way.
Led by Uncle Meng, who had traveled all over Iluf and even visited the Abyss, Ash and his companions safely crossed the Wanyuan Plain and found the nearest space crack leading to Iluf.
The cracks connecting the two spaces are tightly guarded by the Wizarding Association's army to prevent smuggling.
There were no corresponding procedures, so Ash and his friends had no choice but to force their way out through the crack.
But thanks to the Brilliant Daily, everyone now knows about the sacrificial ceremony and the large number of sacrifices being teleported into the abyss. The army guarding the abyss naturally also knows this.
Special treatment for special periods.
Recently, as long as one can produce an identity badge, even without any formalities, one can pass through the cracks and return from the abyss to Iluf.
However, if you take out your ID badge, your identity will be exposed. I don't know how many eyes are staring at the exit of the crack, trying to find the mysterious Mr. Wandering Soul.
Of course, if Sigourney didn't reveal her identity, those people outside would never guess who it was. Their suspicious eyes were all fixed on human wizards, and they didn't consider the possibility that Mr. Wandering Soul was a magical creature.
They were not worried about Sigourney's identity being exposed, but they also did not want Ash to be noticed by too many people at this cusp of the storm.
When they were planning to sneak across the border in a bad way, someone from the Prince family arrived to pick them up.
It was someone arranged by Yang Prince. He was very considerate and prepared complete travel documents for Ash and his friends. This way, when Ash and his friends left the abyss, they would not be considered as part of the sacrifice. Instead, they would be considered as ordinary wizards who came to the abyss to do business and were now preparing to return.
They left the abyss quietly without disturbing a single splash of water.
After returning to Iluf, there were also people waiting for them at the exit of the abyss rift.
The Prince family was very powerful in the Pale Throne, and they had manors almost everywhere. The place where Ash and his friends came out was still some distance away from Leigu Town, so they were not in a hurry to get there, so they simply followed the person who was meeting them and went to the nearest manor to rest.
Lan is very curious about this era.
The abyss remains unchanged, the same for a thousand years.
Even if she came out of the ruins and walked across the vast Wanyuan Plain, she could not feel any changes at all.
But coming out of the abyss is different.
All the scenery is new and unfamiliar.
The biggest change is——
"There's only one moon left." She looked at the cold white crescent moon in the night sky and sighed in surprise and regret, "The pale moon is still here, but where is the scarlet moon?"
They were sitting in a carriage pulled by a flying magical beast. The curtains were hung high, revealing the long dark night outside the curtains.
Ash felt a little sleepy, so he leaned against Sigourney, his head nodding again and again until it rubbed against Sigourney's shoulder and stabilized himself.
Hearing Lan's words, he hugged Signy's arm in confusion. Scarlet Moon? Wasn't she right next to him?
Hmm…
etc!
Ash shuddered and suddenly came to his senses. The Scarlet Moon that Lan was talking about didn't seem to be the one next to him?
He opened his eyes wide and just in time heard Xiao Jin speak timidly.
It was still lying on Jane's shoulder, looking like it wanted to escape but didn't dare to, so it just endured it silently.
Even when speaking at this time, the voice was soft and gentle, for fear of disturbing Jane and causing her to get angry - God knows Jane didn't say a single angry word to it from beginning to end.
"Teacher Dailan." It was still used to calling Lan like that - even if Lan corrected it and said that she was not Dailan anymore, although it was also half of Dailan's soul, the dominant one was still the disappeared Dailan, that was the real one.
It said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you. When the elemental storm on the plains erupted, it seemed to destroy the heavens and the earth, and the momentum was incomparable. By the time people realized what was happening, the scarlet moon had already disappeared. No one could tell when it disappeared from the night sky."
——Suddenly, there was only a bright white light, and no more blood-red splendor. I looked up at the night sky in surprise, and was shocked to find that there was one less moon in the sky. I rubbed my eyes in disbelief, and was so shocked that I lost my voice.
Meng immediately became excited: "So there were two moons in ancient times? No wonder!" He said, "When I was exploring the ruins before, I saw a mural with two circles hanging high in the sky. I thought it was the sun and the moon in the sky at the same time. Now I think about it, maybe it was the scene of two full moons shining against each other!"
Ash murmured the words "Scarlet Moon" and suddenly felt extremely sorry.
I really want to see the moon that has the same name as Sigourney. It must be very, very beautiful, right?
I also want to see Sigourney dancing under the crimson moon. It must be incredibly stunning, right?
He imagined quietly in his mind, but he noticed that Sigourney's body, which was lying on the pillow, suddenly became extremely stiff.
"Scarlet Moon?" He heard Sigourney's voice, which seemed as cold as usual. "Red Moon?"
Xiao Jin said, "It's very, very beautiful!"
Sigourney nodded slightly, as if she understood, and stopped asking questions.
Ash frowned imperceptibly, and he was the only one who noticed the tension and confusion behind Sigourney's seemingly casual question.
What's wrong?
Is there something wrong with Scarlet Moon?
Ash's heart tightened quietly. He felt that he had touched upon Sigourney's deepest and most obscure secret as never before.
What is that?
His heart was pounding, and he felt like the answer was within reach.
If he were given a little more time, just a little more, he would be able to use the insight of an excellent astrologer to connect all the clues together, pointing to only one possibility, to the truth.
There was silence in the carriage for a moment.
Several people had different thoughts in their minds, and only the sound of shallow breathing was heard.
Xiao Jin looked around and slumped on Jane's shoulder. He thought that the silence at this moment was his fault and was about to cry: "I'm sorry, I just remembered such an important thing now..."
Lan withdrew her melancholy gaze from the night sky and looked at Xiao Jin helplessly: "Why apologize? You didn't do anything wrong."
Meng also withdrew from the memory bank in his mind, no longer recalling the information and documents he had read before, and smiled: "Yes, haven't I remembered it already?"
Ash sat up straight, one hand still holding Sigourney's hard wrist bone, and said: "You've been a great help."
Who would blame it?
It is not easy to be able to retain consciousness in the abyss until now. Isn't it normal for the memory to be intermittent and vague?
Lan flew to Xiao Jin's side, raised her hand and touched Xiao Jin's head: "I never formally said thank you, Xiao Jin."
The little hamster was stunned, sniffed, covered his big eyes with his two paws, and started crying without tears again.
“Woo-wah—no, woo-wah, you’re welcome—woo-wah-wah-wah…”
Jane, who was panicked by the crying, said: "..." What should I do?
He raised his other arm inch by inch like a rusty machine, and touched the little hamster's head with a stiff posture. A barely perceptible fluctuation flashed in his emotionless eyes.
Don't cry.
His lips moved, but in the end no words came out.
…
When they arrived at Prince's manor, Yang and his guard Igren were already waiting outside the manor to greet them.
Yang didn't know beforehand which exit they would come out from. He only guessed that this point had the highest probability, because many previous "sacrifices" had come out from this exit. Because there were too many magical creatures, a large-scale conflict occurred.
Unexpectedly, he had good luck and waited for Sigourney and the others here.
"Thank you for your hard work." He came over with a smile on his face, his eyes moving meaningfully around the faces of several people, and finally landed on Meng, "This is... huh?"
Ash blinked, thinking that Yang might have mistaken Uncle Meng for the mysterious Mr. Wandering Ghost.
Yang knew that they were going to disrupt the sacrificial ceremony, but later on, he only heard about Mr. Youhun. Yang was still a smart guy, at least he guessed that Youhun was one of them.
Ash was too young to be possible.
Meng's age is just right, and his strength seems unfathomable. He is a very powerful wizard, but he is not well-known in Iluv, and his whereabouts are very mysterious... No matter how you think about it, the wizard ghost should be this one!
Meng: "..." I'm not, let me explain...
How to explain it?
emmm……
Never mind, just treat me as such.
We can't expose Sigourney.
Yang looked at Meng's miserable expression and smiled: "I won't tell anyone. I haven't thanked you for helping me get revenge yet."
"Come in and rest for a while." He asked in a questioning tone, "Your companions, I mean Yolande and the others, are still waiting for you in Leigu Town. Why don't you rest here tonight? I will arrange someone to take you there tomorrow morning?"
Several people nodded and followed him into the manor.
While waiting for dinner, Yang was worried that they would be bored, so he gave them a copy of the recent days' Brilliant Daily: "Look, all of Ilufu knows about your heroic deeds."
Several people took a newspaper and read it curiously.
“…”
“…”
“…”
“…”
Yang personally went to serve some fruits to the guests. After returning, he sat down and propped up his chin, looking at Meng curiously: "Do you really have a lover?" His eyes flickered between Signy Ash and Jane, and he quickly ruled out the possibility of a lover in the backyard. He guessed, "Did you meet him at the sacrifice? Love at first sight? Why didn't you bring him out with you?"
Mongolian:"……"
I have been single for thirty-six years, thank you.
