Today is the last day of the Chou month in the old calendar, and it is also the end of the whole year in the old calendar. In the imperial era, this night was called "New Year's Eve", which is linked to the beginning and end of the new year, which means "the end of the year and the end of the month." "The end of the year" is an important junction for saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, and it is also a day for families to reunite!
Of course there are holidays, but there are no large-scale celebrations organized by the parliament, because this night has the tradition of "keeping the year old" and it is a private time for the family or family!
Yu's daily life has not changed much, at least on the surface it seems so!
Perhaps the life in the house was too peaceful, as if it could last forever. Now he has gradually learned to suppress most of his emotions deep in his heart, trying to show his gradually "normal" state in front of his mother-in-law and two sisters. The smile on his lips no longer looks so forced!
Of course, the past two New Year's Eves were spent in high-intensity basic training. Yuya would still hear the midnight bell that would only ring tonight. Even though basic training was now very minimal, his face The "table" is still full, and he still seems very regular and very busy!
Regarding these matters, my mother-in-law, as usual, barely interfered except for a few nagging words.
Yu had dinner as usual, took the initiative to wash the dishes as usual, and when she walked out of the restaurant, she was stopped by her mother-in-law!
The mother-in-law is still sitting in the main seat, facing the main entrance of the hall, and the hot tea that has just been brewed is emitting a rich aroma on the small table next to the armrest, but the layout of the entire hall is completely different!
The screen and couch were gone, the rows of bonsai and wall hangings were removed, and even the heavy guest rug was gone, revealing a smooth and cold bluestone surface!
There is still an aisle more than three meters wide between the main seat and the main entrance, but the two sides are densely packed with seats!
Except for the two rows of seats facing each other across the "bank" that are slightly solemn, the other chairs seem to have no scruples, and they are lined up like a forest behind them, occupying almost all the space!
There is another seat right next to the main seat! Her mother-in-law's expression showed nothing strange, but she just ordered him to sit next to her without any explanation!
Behind them, the two sisters, Xiaosan and Xiaowu, were already standing there quietly, with their eyes lowered deeply, as if they had not seen his questioning eyes.
A long feather appeared in the mother-in-law's hand at some point. The extremely bright feathers spread out like fire. The drop-shaped pattern in the middle was more like a bright eye painted with flames. It was opening gently, looking even more majestic. Invasion!
Yu knew clearly in his heart that he should be "Feng Yu" - the rumored exclusive artifact of Her Majesty the Fairy Queen!
But when he turned his gaze, all the feathers seemed to explode instantly, and the "bright eye" quickly turned sideways, as if he didn't want to look at him at all!
Yu was also stung by the sudden appearance of fire, and did not dare to look again! There is still no lighting outside the hall, but the door of the house is vaguely open! There are many shadows looming in the dark house, they are pouring into the house silently, and they are pouring into every corner silently!
The sound of bamboo whips came one after another from afar, and with the fleeting light of fireworks, I saw that the huge house was almost filled with warriors of the goblin clan!
Only a path of the same width is free, leading directly to the gate of the house!
The fairy warriors near the hall may all be master-level warriors, with extremely extraordinary demeanor! But they still guarded both sides of the path, like an extremely strong fence! Like all their companions, their eyes fell directly on the gate of the house, silently!
The path soon welcomed more than a dozen guests. They stopped for a moment outside the gate as if they had agreed, and then walked into the hall with the eyes of all the soldiers!
The two leaders turned out to be Grandpa He and the old patriarch Augustus. Neither of them spoke, but nodded politely to their mother-in-law. When Yu looked over, the old patriarch nodded slightly in the same gentle manner, and Grandpa He was even more normal. Just the same, give him a bright smile!
However, the two elders quickly glared at each other, and walked side by side towards the first seat under the main seat!
Yu's eyes flashed as he saw a strange instrument in the shape of a "rake" suddenly appear in Grandpa He's hand. The body of the rake, which was covered with dark lines, seemed to smell of earth, but an extremely cold and sharp curve was bent at the end. The barb is tightly connected to a thick "beam"!
Nine cold and slender tapered blades are like combs, all embedded in the "beam"!
And in the hands of the old patriarch Augustus, an extremely round ball was also spinning rapidly! Countless rays of fine lightning flashed continuously, but they were full of a certain regular charm, and they seemed to contain a deeper mystery!
Although they didn't show any aura, the faces of these two old men were already glowing, and their competing glances became more and more fierce!
It wasn't until the mother-in-law snorted and glared at them that the two powerful men at the altar were discouraged. Grandpa He was the more skillful and took the first step to sit in the chair. Patriarch Augustus flicked his sleeves and sat down angrily. However, they all lowered their heads to avoid the glare of their mother-in-law, as if they all knew that something was wrong!
Behind the two old men, most of them are still familiar faces!
Mr. Hai Da from Star Luo City State! President Harley of the Magicians Guild! Deans Ian and Lewen! Dean He Wuyu of Broken Blade Academy! Mr. Mu from Xingluo Academy!
There is also an unnamed strong man from the goblin clan with double horns and two long beards between his lips, but he should also be in the altar! The look he looked at Xiang Yu was also extremely kind!
These powerful men of the altar took their seats one after another, and they were all sitting on the imperial side!
Those who entered the hall a few steps behind were Aunt Ping, Tietoutuo, and Tie Mulan, the three Jia Luo Zhu masters. Among the other powerful masters, Yu unexpectedly saw the one who had given him the junior demon maker assessment. Mr. "Genhai Zhang"!
In front of the mother-in-law, the etiquette of the masters and strong men was extremely formal, and then they sat down behind the strong men on the altar one after another!
The hall fell silent again! Only the "Phoenix Feather", the "Rake", the "Magic Ball", and the "Uncut Jade" magic tool hanging on Mr. Hai Da's shoulder occasionally exuded a few rays of indescribable oppression. It felt like old friends I hadn’t seen for many years were talking in a low voice!
These strong men obviously belong to the mother-in-law's camp! This hall actually houses nearly half of the altars in the human realm! They came very early but have been waiting here! Until the clock strikes midnight!
Whip bamboos and fireworks suddenly boiled up, competing to decorate this unusual night scene at this unusual time!
And outside the gate of the house, several figures suddenly appeared at the same time!
They also seemed to have been waiting there for a long time, but at this moment they stepped into the house quietly to the sound of the bell, passing through the gazes of countless pairs of strong men from the goblin clan, and walked straight into the hall!
The leader is actually the current Speaker of the Human Parliament, Yu’s nominal “Uncle”, Mr. Gan Ruyi!
However, the body of "Speaker Gan" obviously has a false meaning, and his robes swing unnaturally when walking. It should be just the incarnation of Speaker Gan's heroic spirit!
In Yu's memory, he had only seen the same incarnation of the heroic spirit once in front of the Jialuo Library, but for some reason he was so indifferent to him!
The "speaker" looked around, but only nodded to his mother-in-law, then walked forward slowly and calmly sat down on the other "first seat"!
Although the "Chancellor"'s eyes did not fall on Yu, he felt inexplicably cold all over his body, and even the seat under him was as piercing as if it were made of ice!
Following closely behind him was also an extraordinary old man. His face was very similar to that of Dean Lewen, and his etiquette towards those present at the altar was much more solemn, but it was obviously just politeness and politeness!
Only when he looked at Dean Lewen, his expression became a little gloomy, and Dean Lewen also rarely sat upright, put on an ugly smile, and held his hands in greeting!
Behind these two powerful men of the altar, there was only Priest Aesop whom he had seen during the trial that day! He was still wearing a black ribbon symbolizing a master-level powerhouse. He carefully sat on the seat closest to the main entrance of the hall, but he was side by side with two powerful men from the altar!
There was no greeting, so the hall was quiet again! But the atmosphere here is getting more solemn!
The three visitors were all empty-handed, but their expressions were extremely calm, even Priest Aesop who came for unknown reasons was like this!
"Speaker Qian" and the old man were even more calm and calm, and even closed their eyes to calm down!
The mother-in-law on the main seat also lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was waiting for!
However, Priest Aesop quietly turned his head and came over! He didn't dare to look at his mother-in-law. He only looked at Yu deeply and then lowered his head again. There was a look of poisonous resentment in his eyes that Yu didn't know but was very familiar with! It's like digging a hole deep into the hard floor!
An unknown amount of time passed, until there were only a few sporadic firecrackers, and until the entire Tower 1 area seemed to be sleeping peacefully, "Fuck Speaker" finally spoke!
Just listen to him:
"Her Majesty the Queen! The time has come!"
This sentence was like an introduction, and the hall suddenly overflowed with evil spirits!
Many Taoist fields that are invisible but ubiquitous suddenly appear! In an instant, it seemed like there had been countless rounds of fighting, and the empty seats were retreating step by step with the sound of friction! The doors and windows that had been opened long ago were shaking and making a low "squeaking" sound!
The powerful masters present here have manifested their Yuanli entities one after another, but they are all struggling to resist! With the help of some protection from the altars in front of me, I could barely stay in place!
The Aesop priest's body was even more blazing with holy light! The strong sacred power condensed into a pure white "feather robe"! But he was still indifferently shaken away by those stateless scenes, and almost retreated to the corner!
The holy divine feathers continue to fall like snow! That "feather robe" is visibly thinner! Priest Aesop's face was completely pale, and he had no energy left to do anything!
The "Speaker Gan" and the old man beside him remained calm and calm, but they seemed completely unaware of his embarrassment and had no intention of taking care of him!
Yu looked at this blankly, and the scene in front of him seemed like a virtual image projected by the magic shadow stone! At the same time as he said "fuck the Speaker", he had no idea that the two sisters behind him also turned pale instantly! The delicate body trembles! Even if the situation where they are is calm! No influence from any potential field!
But this "virtual image" soon came to an end, because the mother-in-law pressed her hand!
"Gan Ruyi! Bring it over!"
Outside the hall, the north wind suddenly howled, but my mother-in-law's tone seemed even more chilling!
"Chancellor Qian" is still so indifferent, as if the nine altars and four powerful artifacts in front of him are not looking at him! A crystal-like thing suddenly appeared in his hand and quickly flew to the main seat!
The mother-in-law grabbed the crystal hard, put it on her forehead, and then closed her eyes!
I don’t know what kind of object this is, but Her Majesty the Fairy Queen has been carefully examining it for a long time, and her kind profile is actually distorted!
The crystal was finally pinched hard by my mother-in-law again, as if it would shatter with just a little more force!
She seemed to be extremely unwilling, but she finally nodded and said:
"Not bad! I didn't do anything!"
"Speaker Qian" seemed to smile slightly, but it was fleeting, and replied:
"Of course not! Because everything recorded in it is the truth!"
The mother-in-law's body leaned forward slightly, but was pressed downwards like the entire Fengming Mountain. She asked coldly:
"Gan Ruyi! You're just a rat in the temple, why are you so timid?! You only dare to come here?!
"Aren't you afraid that I will turn my back on you and leave the leader of the Lewen family here?!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a "boom" in the hall!
A purple and black thundercloud suddenly appeared above the mother-in-law's head, and electric snakes danced wildly! Yin Lei is moving!
That "Phoenix Feather" rose up in an instant! It was flying quickly around the purple-black thundercloud, but that was all, it seemed extremely scrupulous!
Staring blankly above, Yu suddenly felt that this purple-black thundercloud looked so familiar!
It was like a certain smell of destruction that had been hidden somewhere in his heart long before "violence" was born!
The old man next to "Speaker Qian" sat calmly, his body still as tall as a pine and cypress, the overwhelming power in front of him seemed like a breeze blowing on his face, his eyes were so determined!
"Speaker Gan" shook his head and said apologetically:
"Forgive me, Your Majesty the Queen! I wanted to come in person, but the situation in the north is really dangerous! I don't dare to be careless for a moment!"
Although the entire avatar was pressed firmly on the seat, and the emptiness in the sleeves of the robe was even more obvious, "Speaker Gan"'s eyes did not waver at all, and he said calmly:
"Even if I come in person, I am sure that I will not start a war with you seniors!
"This three-year agreement was made in front of Mr. Su! Your Majesty the Queen! Although you seem to be extreme, the word 'faith' is the foundation of my life in the world! It is also the way for you and all of you to achieve the altar!"
The mother-in-law paused suddenly, only to hear Grandpa He shout angrily:
"Bullshit faith!"
Grandpa He turned to look at his mother-in-law and shouted:
"Sister! Just break the crystal! You and Lady Feng Yu are enough to fight against the oath thunder cloud! Leave the rest to me!"
As Yu Mangran listened to these words, a great uneasiness quietly overflowed from his chest. By the time he realized it, his empty heart had already been filled!
It feels like a dark shadow coming from the back of the world! Even "renunciation" and "tyranny" seem to have been driven out of this world! So far away that we almost lost contact with him!
All the powerful men at the altar are looking at the mother-in-law. The seats in this hall have already made their stance clear!
The mother-in-law's face was gloomy and uncertain, but the look between her brows was getting more and more violent! The thundercloud pressing down directly above our heads also became darker and thicker!
But the mother-in-law suddenly looked at Yu!
All the strong men looked over in an instant! Only Yu is sitting still! Without realizing it!
Behind Yu, a very light gray shadow seemed to be cut through by the extremely cold and fierce wind! It’s so twisted that it’s a miracle that it continues to burn! But it slowly condensed into a form! Finally able to manifest!
This figure is so weak that it can no longer speak! But he just pointed at the crystal and then at himself, and all the strong men understood what he meant!
——Three-year agreement! ! !
My mother-in-law's face turned gray instantly! The body of the most powerful man in the world is now like the frozen soil in the north that is constantly exposed to the cold wind! A trembling withered grass!
But she finally nodded in agreement! So the figure disappeared happily!
Then the thundercloud suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed!
Her lips trembled again and again, and finally she said:
"Yu'er...
"This memory crystal... take a look..."
