"Brother, have you heard something?"
Ri Huaian walked around the model town that appeared, then turned around and leaned on the railing.
"Huh? What?"
Blore had no idea what he was talking about.
"Did you know that humans and mermen can get along and coexist peacefully?"
Ri Huaian looked at him dimly, "What I said isn't quite right. Humans have always been friendly with other races. Mermaids are just an exception..."
Ri Huaian suddenly murmured nervously.
It was amazing. Blore felt that he got what he meant. As for what he said, although Blore was not very interested in history, he also knew a thing or two.
"call…"
Ri Huaian took a long breath, then waved his hand, but his expression was still a little ferocious.
"Purple Lantern Flower, you must have heard of it, brother. You came here probably for this..."
His tone was steady and his eyes became calm, as if the person with the strange expression just now was not him.
"Don't say anything wrong, brother,"
Rihuaian didn't seem to want to hear what Blore said at all. He quickly and neatly continued his own words. Then his expression changed again.
"Everything's not right here, is it? You must have noticed it as early as when you were at my house, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have left!"
Gloom instantly crept into his eyes, and bloodshot suddenly appeared. He stretched himself hard and just looked at Blore.
And Blore instantly met his gaze.
"What...ah?"
Blore was a little confused. He really didn't expect the development of the matter. Why was Ri Huaian angry with him here?
But sometimes luck works its magic, and suddenly there comes a flash of inspiration, and Blore thinks he has stumbled upon the truth.
"Is it because of the purple lantern flowers?"
The two of them stared at each other for perhaps only a few seconds, perhaps dozens of seconds, before Blore spoke hesitantly with some doubt.
"Purple Lantern Flowers, the Fanciful Rain Festival, the Lantern Festival, the Amber Dragon and the Lotus Flower—these are all things we're looking for. I asked you about this before, didn't you? Didn't you tell me you didn't know either?"
Blore frowned in bewilderment and asked in confusion:
"We are here for a specific matter."
After hearing this, Ri Huaian could no longer suppress his anger and dissatisfaction.
He couldn't help but widen his eyes, his gaze as sharp and fierce as a sword, and asked in a harsh voice with undisguised anger:
"Well, let me ask you something! What on earth brought you to this damn place?
Who sent you here? Why did you choose this place?
Did the people who sent you here come here to investigate in person?
Or do they just use you as their pawns to explore the way?
And you just foolishly follow orders and go to your death?
Don't even need to know the truth?"
Blore was so overwhelmed by Rihuaian's series of aggressive questions that it made him dizzy and his brain, which was originally thinking about other things, suddenly stopped working.
He opened his mouth several times, but couldn't utter a single word. At this moment, he was completely confused, his mind was blank, and he had no idea how to respond to these questions.
At this embarrassing and tense moment, Ri Huaian, who was originally very emotional and indignant, seemed like a balloon that had been punctured. He instantly lost all his momentum and strength, and became wilted and surprisingly quiet.
Blore's eyes followed his movements involuntarily, and he saw that he slowly turned his head.
He had not once looked at Blore while he was hurling his questions at him, but had turned his face away.
So, although Blore clearly heard every word that came out of his mouth, he had no idea about Rihuaian's expression at that time.
But now, Ri Huaian suddenly turned his head back slowly, and the movement seemed extremely hesitant and uncertain, as if he wanted to look at Blore again.
However, just as he was about to meet Blore's eyes, he seemed to suddenly remember something important, so he lowered his head silently and did not take any further action.
"I'm sorry... I really shouldn't have acted so impulsively like I did just now."
Ri Huaian's voice was like a candle in the wind, so weak that it was almost inaudible, and filled with regret and self-blame.
"I just...I just couldn't control my emotions for a moment."
However, his explanation was cut short before he could finish it, as Blore suddenly blurted out something astonishing:
"So this isn't the Enamel Star?"
Blore stared at Rihuaian with a puzzled look on his face, an expression of disbelief in his eyes, as if he thought this matter was extremely absurd.
Ri Huaian was also a little dizzy, but he quickly adjusted himself. He looked down at the city model under his feet, and then looked carefully at the skeletons whose bodies were covered with unknown filamentous objects.
They were sitting in a circle, as if performing some mysterious ritual.
Rihuaian's gaze slowly moved, finally settling on Blore, who was staring at him with a confused look on his face.
"To be honest, I'm not sure... But I know one thing for sure: there's no one alive here..."
