Inside The Black Mist Chapter 670: The beauty of the wilderness (ask for a monthly ticket)
After the failure of the 'Operation Qiuli Transfer', the fortress was calm for the next few days.
The mysterious 'employer' didn't seem to take any further action. Even in the past few days, the fortress has sent news about Qiu Li to the outside world through different channels.
These news, Tianyang saw it from Nightcrawler's internal information platform, heard it from Nuojin's report, and mentioned it from Yexing...
It stands to reason that the 'employer' should have known the news, but he has not acted. He probably guessed that it was a trap.
Reminiscent of how many tricks were played in the church's actions that night, Tianyang sighed a little, none of these people was simple.
If it weren't for the great adversity, there are also existences among the black people who have schemes that cannot be defeated. Otherwise, so many reverse worlds would have been flattened by humans long ago, right?
This morning, Tianyang stood at the window, drinking a glass of water as usual.
As far as the eye can see, the nearby buildings and buildings are all lit up with colored lights and hung colorful flags, creating a festive atmosphere.
Today is the Starlight Festival, and a grand celebration will be held tonight. At that time, the entire upper city will be bustling with activity.
The "Starlight Festival" is held every year on the last day of the year. In other words, after the Starlight Festival is over, it is the beginning of a new year.
Today's Starlight Festival is rather special. It will be held for three consecutive days, which is a bit like saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.
Although Tianyang grew up in Qingtianbao, it was the first time he actually participated in the Starlight Festival.
After all.
The Starlight Festival is only held in Shangcheng District, and only the common people and Shangmin of Shangcheng District are eligible to participate.
As for the lower people, not to mention participating, even the upper city is not allowed to enter.
However, this year, I heard that the fortress has demarcated an area and stipulated a time, and the residents of the lower city are allowed to participate.
Of course, even if they participate, they can only visit the fort's caravan parade, but they cannot enter the memorial park and participate in the holiday ball.
And that ball, is the real celebration.
Even so, it's nothing short of a change for the people of downtown. In order to prevent accidents, not only Iron Wall needs to maintain order during the celebration, but even the Storm Army has to deploy some personnel to assist Iron Wall in its work.
It can also be seen from this that the fortress attaches great importance to this "Starlight Festival".
"New Year's Eve."
Tianyang caressed the cup, planning to go to the cemetery later to pay homage to his deceased mother.
Recalling last night, under the arrangement of Lao Xu, he met several material merchants. The 200,000 contribution points will be divided into several shares, which will be managed by those merchants.
Thinking of it, Old Xu was really too careful. He was worried that he would put all the large contribution points in the hands of a businessman, that's why he wasted so much time.
And all of this, Lao Xu helped for free, which moved Tianyang very much, and planned to give Lao Xu a share when he made money.
However, after taking out 200,000 contribution points, there are only tens of thousands of his own account left.
The doorbell rang.
Tianyang put down the cup and opened the door.
There are birds outside the door.
"Tianyang, are you ready for the dance tonight?"
The young man was stunned for a moment, and asked: "Can the Nightcrawler uniform be used?"
Little Bird immediately rolled his eyes at him: "I knew it, I knew it. You boys really don't have any self-awareness. The blue-haired monkey is like this, and you really weren't prepared."
The girl said with an expression of 'I'm heartbroken': "Have you eaten breakfast yet? Let's go to the mall together later. I have already called Yinglan and Kunlan."
"I'll give you two guys later, pick out a formal suit."
Tianyang scratched his head with his hands: "I want to go to the cemetery, that's all right, you go to the mall first. I'll go to you later?"
"Okay, but come early."
Little Bird sighed and said, "Now I'm a little worried, whether the good-looking styles in the mall will be bought by people."
Tianyang sent her away with a smirk, changed his clothes, and left the apartment.
He bought a bouquet of flowers and came to the cemetery. Perhaps because it is already the last day of this year, there are a lot of people who come to the cemetery today to pay their respects.
Tianyang came to his mother's tombstone, put down the flowers, cleaned up the surroundings, wiped the tombstone, and then sat down.
"Today is Starlight Day, Mom."
Looking at the photo on the tombstone, the young man smiled and said, "You used to say how beautiful the Starlight Festival is, but unfortunately I never participated in it."
"You also said that if you have the opportunity, you will take me to participate. When I first became a nightcrawler this year, I thought, we can finally participate in the celebration together this year."
"I didn't expect..."
Tianyang sighed softly, and said again: "Stop talking about this, Mom. Did you know that Kaidi wrote to me."
"You don't have to worry about that guy, he has opened a bar in Gaoshanbao now, and he seems to be doing well."
"If there is a chance, I will go to Gaoshanbao to see him."
As usual, facing the cold tombstone, Tianyang casually recounted his experiences during this period.
Before I knew it, I stayed in the cemetery for nearly an hour.
Suddenly remembering that he still had an appointment with Xiaoniao, the boy stood up, looked at the photo on the tombstone and said, "You said that there will be a fireworks show every year at the Starlight Festival."
"Tonight, you can finally see."
"I'm leaving, I'll see you next time."
After speaking, he walked to the aisle and to the stone steps.
Just in time, when someone came down from above, Tianyang stopped and let them go first.
I don't want to, there is an old voice: "Hey, have I seen you somewhere?"
Tianyang raised his head suspiciously, and an old man came into view. His hair is full of silver hair, but well combed. His appearance is majestic, and more importantly, Tianyang feels a little familiar.
A moment later, the boy suddenly remembered this face.
Church Priest!
Among the chaotic time gaps, he spanned 17 years of time and space. In the time node belonging to Su Lie, the church priest who was in charge of hunting Su Lie was the old man in front of him!
It's just that at that time, he was not so old.
"Bishop, this is the great church of our diocese, Tianyang." Fu Junyi's voice also came from above the steps.
Tianyang hastily nodded gently: "Rector, good morning."
"Good morning, Tianyang." Fu Junyi introduced with a smile, "This is Bishop Gu Yun. The bishop is here to participate in the Starlight Festival. If you have time in the morning, come and pay respects to old friends."
It turns out that he is already a bishop, too, after all, it is not surprising that he was promoted to bishop after 17 years.
Tianyang took a step back and deliberately expressed doubts: "Has the bishop seen me?"
Gu Yun said with a smile: "I remember, it's a photo. I saw you in the information of the Great Church. I said why it looks so familiar. At that time, I was thinking, this young man is not Simple."
"You can be promoted to the Great Holy Church at a young age, and your future is limitless."
Tianyang quickly lowered his head and said, "Bishop praises you."
After chatting casually for a few words, Fu Junyi gave a brief reminder: "Bishop, we still have to see the Lord Mayor."
Gu Yun nodded lightly, smiled and said: "Tianyang, let's say goodbye now."
"Bishop, walk slowly." Tianyang backed away.
Gu Yun hummed, with a smile on his face, and walked in front.
After walking away, he restrained his smile, his eyes were deep, as if he was thinking about something.
Tian Yang breathed a sigh of relief, he had seen Gu Yun in that chaotic space-time gap, but only as a 'Death God'.
He believed that Gu Yun could see something from his own eyes. Fortunately, the 'Reaper' was wearing a mask. Otherwise, even if there was a disguise, he probably couldn't hide it from the eyes of such an expert.
Unexpectedly, not only a silver-crowned knight from the Cardinal Council came, but also a bishop. There should be more than one bishop in the church. When I have a chance, I have to ask He Wenchi for advice on the basic knowledge of the church.
Ah, it's getting late, I have to go to the mall quickly.
Tianyang patted his head and left the cemetery in a hurry.
He found Xiaoniao in the mall. Xiaoniao and Qianhong were wearing the same series of dresses today. At first glance, they thought they were two sisters.
Bai Yinglan is the same as usual, wearing a man's clothes on her body, like a beautiful young man.
Kunlan dressed very casually, wearing casual clothes under the Nightcrawler uniform, which looked nondescript, but he didn't care.
"Come with me."
Little Bird led them to a store with ease, which specializes in selling high-end clothing, mainly dresses and formal wear.
Walking in, looking at the sets of finely crafted and uniquely designed clothes on the display cabinet, Tianyang knew why Xiaoniao supported buying a set of formal clothes.
If everyone wears similar clothes to the dance at night, then he must be very different in wearing a uniform.
Little Bird has already helped Tianyang choose: "Now the requirements for formal clothes have been simplified a lot. I remember when I was young, the instrument teacher at home said that different occasions require different formal clothes."
"So when we were young, apart from the need to prepare a set of dresses for the Starlight Festival, we also needed different outfits for the first day of the new year, family sweeps, coming-of-age ceremonies, and family banquets."
Bai Yinglan smiled and said: "Yeah, since I was a child, I think skirts are too troublesome, but my father doesn't allow me to wear long trousers. He didn't care about me anymore until I was an adult."
Kunlan looked at them with sympathetic eyes and said, "It's really difficult for you, so I don't have to worry about it. When I was young, I lived in the wilderness. In three seasons of the year, only a pair of shorts was enough. Already."
"In winter, I will add an animal skin cloak."
Blue Hair suddenly snapped his fingers: "What do you guys think, how about I wear an animal skin cloak to the dance at night, and it happens that I still have the cloak I used before!"
Xiao Niao and Bai Yinglan exchanged glances, and said at the same time: "No!"
Little Bird added: "If you dare to wear a cloak, you'd better stay away from us, and don't tell others that you know us, you won't be ashamed of yourself."
Kun Lan snorted: "You don't understand the beauty of wilderness at all!"
