The curser wizard tower and the hall, which are now used as a place to receive guests and gather before missions, have been transformed beyond recognition.
A bunch of tables with high-quality materials were set out, and a circle of chairs surrounded them, giving the hall of the Cursed Wizard Tower an inexplicable food stall atmosphere. Although the decorations and the like were very well thought out, That kind of aura really gives people this feeling.
At this moment, just half a day had passed since Wang Yu slaughtered three devils in the void, and Lilia, the escaped wizard, insisted on celebrating the entire banquet.
The reason was very good. Mira was saved, and she was very happy. The three legendary devils were killed by Wang Yu. From now on, the workload of the wizards responsible for dealing with the void problem would be greatly reduced.
"On weekdays, everyone stays in their rooms with their heads covered to study witchcraft, and there is basically no such activity. Although the strength is definitely growing faster, if you don't relax and relax, it is easy to have mental problems. Who knows one day you will be killed by the void? Eroded.”
"So, it's no problem to hold such a banquet. As for the funds, just use the money that those people put in for the construction of the Wizard Tower. Anyway, this is a good activity that is conducive to the healthy development of the Wizard Tower."
Everyone in the Cursor Wizard Tower has long been accustomed to this person's personality, and they didn't bother with the basically irrelevant words she said. They just let it go.
The entertainment in this world is still relatively lacking. Apart from some incredible magic potions that can completely thrill the world, there is really not much entertainment that can be implemented on the heads of each extraordinary person. This banquet can be regarded as Add a touch of color to the long and dull life.
"How is the situation of Night Blade recently? When I think of someone like you being the captain, I feel a bit unreliable. Even if Mr. Gilbert comes to be the captain, I don't think there is anything to worry about."
Sitting at a table, Wang Yu and several of his old acquaintances were chatting there. They also wanted to understand the recent situation of Alestle. Raising his eyebrows, Wang Yu said to Charles in a joking way.
"Hey, don't look down on people like this. After all, I am also the heir to the kingdom's big family. After the previous batch of new nobles were purged, if nothing else, the status of us old nobles has increased."
"Besides, I am a very capable person. Anyway, I can't compare to Gilbert, so I look down on him... Well, it seems that I can't handle it as well as him now, but don't be like that. If you say it, it will make me very embarrassed."
Faced with Wang Yu's teasing, Charles looked quite angry, scratching his head and trying to prove his ability.
As a result, when he mentioned the comparison between himself and Gilbert, he was stunned to realize that he might not be as good as the veteran Night Blade captain, and he suddenly deflated like a deflated rubber ball.
"He's not that bad. Although he may still have a lot of problems, the professor has seen the records of Ciel's handling of things during his absence. After all, there are not many civil servants in Night Blade, so he can It’s enough to get the professor’s approval when you hold two jobs at the same time.”
Edward smiled and interjected, which was regarded as "justifying" Ciel.
"Oh my god! Edward, you actually talked to me. I'm so touched. Sure enough, you understand me. Come on, give me a hug."
Charles scratched his head, as if he was a little surprised why Edward would talk to him. Then he immediately made a coy expression, said strange words, and ran over to hug Edward. So naturally, Edward pressed his face and stared at him. Pushed away in disgust.
"In other words, now the royal family basically no longer deliberately targets the Blade of the Night, but is doing its best to curb the power of the noble factions, and return the rights and industries originally allocated to the old nobles to the royal family, strengthening The power of their royal and aristocratic circles?”
Ignoring Edward and Charles who were playing tricks, Wang Yu turned to look at Sieg. This professor who went to Alestle to help move reinforcements was absolutely reliable in this regard.
"Yes, the royal family has discovered that the Night Blade, an organization with an ancient history but has always been very low-key, has hidden power that is much greater than they imagined."
"Some veterans who are no longer involved, but are quite outstanding in strength, precious technical personnel accumulated in long-term missions, and have inextricable connections with the Illuminati Sect."
"If you want to bite the bone of the Blade of the Night and take all the power back into the hands of the royal family, the price you pay will be unimaginable. The addition of the Prayer Communication Network will prevent the Blade of the Night from being manipulated by the sky. I am bound by the shackles of darkness."
"So at present, the royal family has adopted a decentralized attitude, handing over some of the thorny disasters and void problems in the kingdom to the Blade of the Night who can be more hands-off, while restraining its power within a certain range and increasing its power. The hardness of domination.”
Sieg informed Wang Yu of his current situation with the Night Blade in Arestle.
Wang Yu nodded. Judging from the current situation, the royal family has also discovered that their rule over the kingdom as a whole is not that strict.
The four Border Dukes, who nominally belong to the royal family but actually have their own independent powers, and the Blade of Night, which has been passed down to this day and has not been disintegrated, are all areas that are difficult for them to truly control.
Even if they find a way to deal with all the restless new nobles, and the entire territory of Severtan is annexed by Aleister, the strength of the royal family's command has not fundamentally changed.
This is an extraordinary world. Who knows if a few hidden strong men will emerge from the group of people being ruled. It’s okay to obey the royal family’s orders on weekdays, but if the royal family really wants to do something with thunderous means, then Wang Yu didn't find it strange that something suddenly appeared among the people.
This is true for the people, not to mention the Night Blade, which has its own foundation. The royal family has temporarily directly confirmed the relatively "equal" status of the Night Blade and the royal family. The Night Blade as a whole can be regarded as "The Fifth Grand Duke of the Borders".
"Your incident has made the royal family understand that it is really impossible to take all the power into their hands. It is better to give the Night Blade more power and let this group of people who have almost no involvement in politics do practical things. "
"In this way, they can concentrate on transforming the borders of Seventan into actual strength, and then slowly enhance their dominance. When the time comes, it will radiate from top to bottom, and the dominance of the kingdom will be truly improved."
Sieg gave a brief summary of the royal family's attitude towards the Night Blade. The royal family has now made a compromise with the Night Blade, allowing the Ryder family, the sole heir of an established noble family, to serve as the captain of the Night Blade. It's part of making a statement.
"Wait a minute, you said that I was approved by the professor, but you didn't say that you approved of me. You are not the same as Wang Yu, are you?"
Charles suddenly thought of something and began to find fault with what Edward had just said for him.
"The Edge of Night has also changed compared to before. In addition to the team that performs tasks to deal with disasters on the surface as before, we rely on the hidden clues left by Captain Shugein and the "Assassin Brothers" you once said The concept of "Gathering" established an organization equivalent to the dark side of Night Blade."
Edward pretended not to hear Ciel's question and turned to talk to Wang Yu about the changes in the Night Blade.
"You guy, don't change the subject. Sure enough, you still think I'm not good? Damn it, forget it..."
Ciel looked dissatisfied with Edward's abrupt change of subject, but no one cared.
""Thorn of Outliers", this is the name of this new branch organization of Night Blade. I am the leader of this team. We will deal with some people that Night Blade cannot or is difficult to deal with originally. Make peace with, like, some damn nobles.”
Edward took out a metal medal from his waist and placed it on the table. There was a dagger hidden in the darkness engraved on it. It looked secretive and deadly. It was quite different from the exquisite logo of Night Blade. It was ordinary and Much simpler.
Although the name of this new organization still has a strong sense of déjà vu, if you think about it carefully, what this new organization of Night Blade does is actually very consistent with the source of the name's sense of déjà vu.
"Wendy, are you also a member of this new organization?"
Looking at Wendy, who he had not seen much since the incident at the academy, Wang Yu was quite surprised that this red-haired girl with good knight talent actually joined the Night Blade.
"Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, brother Wang Yu. Master Barritt actually worked as a knight instructor in the Blade of the Night before. After learning about the Blade of the Night, I proposed to join, and he introduced me to join. That's right. Let’s make some compensation for what my grandfather did.”
Wendy showed Wang Yu's familiar cheerful smile and waved to him. Her words and demeanor were much more mature. Wang Yu was very happy that she had successfully moved on from the past and was not depressed.
"Hey, stop talking. The food is served. As soon as we heard that something happened to you, we ran over to help you. There is hard work without credit. If you don't treat us to a good meal, that would be too much. ”
Charles's words interrupted everyone's chat. Aviya used magic to hold several plates full of fragrant dishes to the table, put the delicacies made by these girls on the table, and then sat next to Wang Yu.
"Of course, Aviya did it herself, so you have to rest assured that it's not true."
Wang Yu raised his eyebrows at Ciel and took the lead in picking up the tableware and starting to eat. They didn't pay attention to the order in which they started eating.
"It's true, eh, eh, you guys, slow down, don't get all dressed up for me, save some, save some!"
Charles nodded thoughtfully. He really recognized Aviya's craftsmanship. Wang Yu was very lucky to be able to eat it often. Then he found that everyone had already started to do it, and he became anxious at that time. .
Wang Yu grabbed a piece of barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it hard. The burnt aroma overflowed, and the sweetness of the oil filled his mouth. He then picked up the juice that Aviya specially added acidity for him and drank it in a big gulp to wash away the sourness. He doesn't care much about the greasiness, and then continues to leave his taste buds refreshed for the next dish.
Dishes were also served on the surrounding tables one after another. Basically, the person who cooked the dishes was both a chef and a diner. Once the dishes were served, he would serve them himself. It was only then that many members of the Cursed Wizard Tower discovered A colleague whom I have known for a long time can actually do this.
Everyone was talking nonsense, and the laughter and chewing were unbridled. It was very lively and casual. Wang Yu felt as if he was having a banquet with relatives he didn't know well on earth. He didn't have to bring anything with him. There is no need to feel a little strange about the reserve of an acquaintance because of a stranger.
"Well, I really can't be such an "independent" person. There's really nothing wrong with this way of doing things."
While eating and chatting, Wang Yu was very satisfied. This time it was also thanks to these old friends. In the past, Wang Yu did not deliberately do anything, but the help he gave to others was fully rewarded for him in this matter.
"Captain, what you said is indeed correct. This guy Wang Yu will definitely be different from what you encountered back then. There will never be anyone behind him."
While fighting for food with others, Xia Er kept his peripheral vision on Wang Yu, thinking silently in his heart, smiled and then concentrated on eating to get angry.
…
Time passed quickly, and the lively banquet ended when the sun sank below the horizon and the magic moon rose.
Lilia drank too much and was giggling there. Garcia and Aviya took her back to the room to take care of the drunk eldest sister and prevent her from affecting Mira who was still resting.
"Well, I'll take this guy back to his room."
Edward put Ciel on his shoulders, who was also unconscious and limp after drinking. He said hello to Wang Yu and sent him back to the guest room. This guy insisted on proving that he could drink, but in the end he didn't have the physique of a knight. Naturally, he passed out from drinking.
"OK"
Wang Yu waved his hand and walked alone to a balcony of the wizard tower. He was not drunk. One reason was that he still didn't like drinking, so he didn't drink. The other reason was that his physique was no longer suitable for drunkenness.
Leaning on the railing of the balcony, Wang Yu looked at the mountains and starry sky in the distance. They were very beautiful, and the unpolluted sky was clear and bright.
Just like what I saw when I first came to this world, it is much more beautiful than the night sky on the earth. No matter how many times I see it, I will still find it wonderful.
"It's been a long time since I came here, and I don't know what the situation is like on the other side of the earth. If the flow rate of time is the same, it will be troublesome, tsk tsk..."
Rubbing his chin, Wang Yu clicked his tongue helplessly. He has been in this world for a few years and has experienced things that many people in this world have never experienced in their lifetime. As a result, he has found almost no information about the earth. He went home. The method is even more unclear.
Forgive Wang Yu, who is basically not sentimental at all, but he also has a hint of melancholy at this moment. It may not be very appropriate to describe Wang Yu at this moment, but it is still somewhat similar.
After killing three devils who were as disgusting and dirty as maggots to him, there was nothing to worry about in the near future. The banquet was lively, and the familiar atmosphere of the market washed over Wang Yu. After all, this guy still missed the earth a little bit. on something.
"Oh, I'm still not strong enough, but I can't rush it. Along the way, five points depend on cheats, three points depend on luck, and two points depend on hard work. It takes a few years for ordinary people to become great knights. It's already very fast. It takes a little bit. Sediment and solidify the foundation.”
He whistled and easily shook the overly pretentious sadness out of his mind. Wang Yu no longer dwelled on those things that he had and didn't have. It was useless to just think about being homesick. The road was very clear. Get stronger and keep going all the way. One day we will find the answer.
"You look a little unhappy?"
A familiar voice came from around me, rising suddenly out of thin air. But when you think about who the owner of the voice is, there is nothing surprising. The figure of Ms. Night appeared behind Wang Yu, taller than Wang Yu, an adult man. A lot.
"It's not bad, I just miss my hometown a little bit. Why are you here?"
Wang Yu didn't expect that this person would suddenly appear here to chat with him, and after responding, he asked casually.
"I think it's okay for a reliable god to care about his archbishop, so why don't you go back?"
Eyebrows twitching, Wang Yu discovered that Ms. Hei Ye now especially likes to answer questions in the form of "because I am a god." Moreover, Wang Yu found that there is really no way to refute this because she is really a god...
"You also know that I am quite special, right? My hometown is too far away, and as special as I am, just think of me as coming from a plane far away from this world. The distance between me and my hometown is so far All the methods I know now can’t let me go back, and it’s quite a headache.”
After thinking for a moment, Wang Yu, who was leaning on the railing, raised his middle finger to the bright magic moon in the distant sky, and told Ms. Night about the specialness of himself and his hometown as usual.
There is nothing special about my own speciality that I can hide. The outrageous things like entering the void and punching the devil are already known to my friends, so I just need to tell them. After that, I may have to ask these trustworthy people. Let’s figure it out together.
"Do you really want to go back?"
Lady Night asked.
"I really want to at least see how my parents are doing. They are ordinary people. It's not easy to raise me like this. I suddenly disappeared. Thinking about them looking for me all over the world, hey..."
Wang Yu did not deny that he wanted to go back, and frankly explained the reasons for wanting to go back. The life on earth is secondary. After all, this world is also very exciting, and you are used to it. What you really can't let go of is the person you care about. Bar.
Wang Yu is a guy who has faded away from the second grade of middle school. After working for several years, he has long reconciled the conflicts between his parents and his parents, and he also understands who is the only person in the world who will be good to him unconditionally.
Ordinary people may not think of it so deeply, but if you really think about it, the pictures painted by some works in your memory are still unacceptable.
The prototype story of the game "Ghost Fighting" is that a child and his mother were separated during the war, and the mother pushed a cart to search for her child for most of her life.
When she was getting old, she saw the photo of her recently deceased child in the mourning hall on the roadside, and breathed her last with two completely different emotions: unwillingness and relief.
I read an online article called "The Catastrophe of Tomorrow". It was written in it that after the protagonist disappeared, his parents spent all their savings and posted missing persons notices all over China, just to find their children who disappeared out of thin air. For decades, The story of one day, but ending without any problem really left a deep impression on Wang Yu at that time.
If you don’t explain some things clearly, you might think they don’t matter, but if I break them down and show them to you, the taste is really different.
Wang Yu had to admit that he didn't know his parents that well. He didn't know what they would do if he disappeared out of thin air, so he had to at least take a look and see how they were doing.
"I can be relieved, but I can't escape."
After thinking about it, Wang Yu concluded that the responsibility on his shoulders would not disappear just because he traveled through time.
He can accept failure after hard work, but he can't lie to himself and say it's difficult and stop doing it. That's just the way he is. As for what others think, he doesn't care.
"come on."
When Ms. Night's words came, Wang Yu felt someone hugging him behind him. The hug given by the body made of materialized darkness was quite strange.
"Thanks."
His eyes widened in surprise. Wang Yu really didn't expect Ms. Hei Ye to do such a trick to him.
"Do I look so in need of love?"
Wang Yu muttered in his heart, turned around and leaned his back on the railing, raising the corners of his mouth slightly, that's right, he is a very normal person, what's wrong with being homesick, there is no problem at all.
Ms. Night is no longer here, and I don’t know what this boss has been up to recently.
"Go back and have a good sleep. Oops, I feel a lot better after killing three disgusting things. Then I will ask "One" about the situation of the other devils. If necessary next time, I can take the initiative to attack."
After stretching and feeling much better, Wang Yu walked towards the wizard tower. Having a good sleep was one of the best enjoyments.
"Wang Yu, you are over here."
The steps he had just taken stopped in place again, and Aviya's voice came. Wang Yu saw the girl walking downstairs. After scanning around, he found Wang Yu standing at the balcony, and immediately trotted over here. .
"Aren't you going to stay with your mother?"
Wang Yu asked the girl who came to him.
"My mother is still sleeping. The damage to her soul has been accumulated over a long period of time and needs to be recovered slowly. Although Aunt Lilia is drunk, she will definitely not disturb her mother."
The girl responded, and the two of them leaned on the side of the aisle, looking at the sky outside, chatting.
"I found out Wang Yu that you didn't know where you were, so I came over to find you. I have some news to tell you. I think it's quite important!"
Aviya clenched her fists and spoke seriously.
"what is it?"
Wang Yu looked at the girl with a different silly smile than usual, and touched her head, and his mood naturally became more and more cheerful.
"Hey, when you entered the void, I used the perfect fractal lens to collect a lot of data about the void, including the results of using the phase gate spell in the void."
"By comparing the different spatial properties of the void and the material world, and combining some of the knowledge I have learned about space, I may have discovered the similarities between the void and the material world in this world space itself."
"In this case, if we go to the library in Sky Mechanical City to collect some information, it is very likely that we will get a breakthrough about Wang Yu's hometown."
The girl looked into Wang Yu's eyes and excitedly talked about her discovery.
"That's great, haha"
Wang Yu put his arms around the girl's shoulders and leaned her towards him, smiling freely.
"Wang Yu, why are you smiling so happily?"
The girl's face was a little red, but she naturally leaned her head next to Wang Yu and asked softly.
"It's nothing, it's just that I feel like I'm a really lucky guy..."
Wang Yu responded.
Aviya has never forgotten that original agreement.
