"Aren't you surprised?" The black-robed man sounded a little surprised when he saw Tang Ling's smile.
"Do I need to be surprised, Castellan Worf?" Tang Ling looked at the black-robed man with a mischievous gaze and replied with a question.
The black-robed man went silent. He suddenly dashed to Tang Ling, grabbed his neck, and tightened his grip.
Tang Ling was calm as he looked at the black-robed man and said, "Should I be more cooperative? Should I pretend to be shocked or scared? "
"You … You're just like a certain someone. You're really annoying." The black-robed man let go of his neck and removed his hood. Who else could the face under the hood be other than Worf?
"As annoying as who?" Tang Ling raised a surprised brow. Was he as annoying as Su Yao?
"I'm not telling you." Worf did not look happy. Why does it feel like this kid knows I'm coming? As powerful as Worf was, he did not want his every move to be seen through. It was disgusting as if he had swallowed a fly.
Therefore, he tried to scare Tang Ling, but it was useless. It pissed him off even more, so he had to disgust Tang Ling.
"Fine, if the castellan doesn't want to tell me, I can't do anything about it. Then, can you release me now? I feel like my blood is blocked and I can't wait to move around, "Tang Ling said to Worf.
"No, I don't mind. I'm just here for nothing. If your answer doesn't satisfy me, I'll leave. " This time, it was Worf who looked at Tang Ling with a mischievous gaze. He really wanted to know why Tang Ling was so sure that it was him.
"It's simple. The castellan has reminded me again and again that you're showing me kindness. But what's the point of showing kindness to a dead man? "Tang Ling's answer was simple.
"So, you expected me to come? Why not Su Yao or someone else? Believe me, Su Yao won't be willing to see you locked up like this. "Worf casually sat down on the bench.
He had to admit that Tang Ling was really smart. He was as smart as that person. The slightest mistake or hint would be caught by Tang Ling.
"Uncle Su Yao? If it's him, it won't be that quiet outside. He doesn't have to wear a black robe and cover his face. Even if he's Uncle Su Yao's helper, he doesn't have to do that. Either way, they're going to fall out in public. They're going to make a big scene. "Tang Ling did not want to hide anything from the castellan, so he answered honestly.
"Fine, your answer's flawless, but I still don't want to let you go. But I still don't want to let you go because I'm not satisfied. " Worf was not in a hurry. Instead, he sized up the wounds on Tang Ling. He did not sympathize with him. Instead, he found it funny.
"I" "I" t, Castellan, "Duke said," Worried. Ling, "t. After all, when it came to kindness, even if he eventually became a dead man and asked him to do something meaningless, the most he would feel was regret. "King's" t. "'s" Ling "s"'t I "t."
"Duke" t. "You." "Ling" Ling "King" You " "You" You ". you" to "" I ", I said" You "s"'s "Ling". "You." You "." King "You". ". You. on. on.
"So, I'm betting on your unwillingness. You need to plant a seed and create chaos, am I right? On top of that, General Zorwen's appearance in the ring is also a signal.
"Can I take it as two things. First, you're saying that even if Safety Sector No. 17 is toppled, as long as you're here, there must be a bottom line.
Second, I'm being arrogant. You're saying you're trying to reassure me. "
"Hmph, reassure what?" Worf showed a tinge of admiration in his eyes. This kid is interesting, even more interesting than that person.
"Reassure me. You haven't given up on me yet," Tang Ling said simply.
Yes, this was Tang Ling's gamble. When he carried Vian back and decided to wreak havoc in Safety Sector No. 17, he had been planning it.
Before the ring, things were unclear, so Tang Ling took the gamble based on the slightest possibility. In the face of certain things, life and death were fated to be discarded.
After the ring, things were a little clearer, so he had to take the gamble.
This was the fate of a small fry. There was no guarantee, so all one could do was to grasp the slightest possibility and take the gamble. Otherwise, one would have to live in silence forever.
Living in silence was no different from dying at times.
Worf went silent for a second before he stood up. He took out the dagger in his hand and swung it. The shackles on Tang Ling were unlocked.
Tang Ling exercised his sore wrist and pointed at his abdomen. Worf did not take out the key or anything, nor did he look for it. All he did was touch the electrode shackles. A black light flashed on his hand and the electrode shackles lost their effect.
"The space ability is really powerful. I didn't know it could be used like this." Tang Ling was a little envious.
"Hmph, people only think I'm an excellencer along the way." Worf seemed to be very proud of the fact.
As a matter of fact, when one's space ability reached a certain level, it was not impossible to disguise as an excellencer.
Worf's dagger, for example, could travel through space using his power, but without reaching a certain level, one would not be able to recognize it as a space ability.
"Let's go." Tang Ling was about to leave the cell. As a matter of fact, he felt very cold. The extremely cold liquid hidden in his belt buckle was constantly emitting a chilling sensation. It was so cold that his abdomen was twitching.
He was a little repulsed by the cold liquid. He did not understand why Kun would give him such an ominous thing. However, he could not throw it away.
He was thankful that the person who searched his body in a hurry did not have the habit of taking off his pants. The vicious beast meat must have satisfied him.
However, even if the extremely cold liquid was taken away, Tang Ling would not feel sorry for it. He just did not have the courage to throw it away because he felt uneasy.
Tang Ling did not understand either. All he wanted to do was get out of the cell and put the extremely cold liquid away.
"You're leaving now?" Worf did not expect Tang Ling to leave so quickly and in such a hurry.
"What else?" A thought later, Tang Ling cupped his fist at Worf. "I can't thank you enough. I'll always remember your kindness, Castellan Worf."
Tang Ling was serious. Even if he did not say it out loud, he would never forget it.
"With your current strength, you don't have the right to talk about kindness with me." Worf chuckled coldly. He then took several things out from his black robe and said, "But I think since I've shown my kindness, why don't I show it more thoroughly?
If I'm not mistaken, Safety Sector No. 17 will be in chaos tonight. Those who cause trouble should maintain their composure. "
Tang Ling turned around and saw two vials of cell regeneration agent on the table. Judging from the color, they were high-purity cell regeneration agents.
Other than that, there was also a pile of meat, mostly mutated beast meat. There was also some vicious beast meat and clean water.
In the end, he saw a weapon and a black robe that was similar to the one Worf was wearing.
"I think this is enough," said Worf.
"Very enough." Tang Ling grabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth before he picked up the dagger on the table.
It was not the Wolf Crunch that he was familiar with, but judging from its toughness, it was also a grade B alloy dagger. To his surprise, so was the longsword.
"I look forward to your actions." He then added, "Other than that, I'll give you a piece of information. Su Yao is also waiting. To be exact, it's not just Su Yao. So, you can do whatever you want tonight. "
"The moment you walk out of the prison, everything will begin."
Worf then left. His time was limited, and he could not afford to expose himself because Safety Sector No. 17 still needed his support.
However, what kind of result would there be tonight? Worf watched as Tang Ling gobbled down the food in the cell, his eyes showing a sense of anticipation.
Who was Su Yao?
**
Meanwhile, on a mountain peak a thousand kilometers away from Safety Sector No. 17, something was happening.
A man wrapped in a grey robe and wearing a white mask with a crying expression was standing at the edge of the mountain peak.
The mountain wind was a bit fierce. Although it was only autumn, it was already snowing in this place. These snowflakes would occasionally be carried by the mountain wind and hit the mask of the grey-clothed man, making crackling sounds.
However, the man did not mind at all. He tilted his head and listened attentively to the chirping of a bird beside his wrist.
A minute later, he raised his wrist and the bird that looked a little like a myna from the old civilization flew away. The bird looked a little like a myna from the old civilization, but there was a huge difference.
"Escalate the operation." The grey-clothed man turned around. At this time, he discovered that there were 10 other people standing on the mountain peak, wearing the same tight-fitting grey clothes. The only difference was that their masks were pure white, and when they were worn on their faces, they looked like faceless people.
The men did not say anything when they heard the order to escalate the operation. They stood on the spot and watched the man take out a whistle and blow it at the snowy sky.
The whistle produced a melodious sound as though it came from the ancient times, echoing in the quiet snowy night.
In less than five minutes, a large number of flapping sounds came from the sky.
Half a minute later, even under the misty Purple Moon, eleven giant birds with a wingspan of 15 meters could be seen circling above the mountain peak.
"Wuuu …" The whistle in the man's mouth blew for the last time. The giant birds swooped down and sprinted towards the mountain peak, stirring up a flurry of snowflakes. In the end, they retracted their wings and landed beside the group of men in grey robes.
The Tosky Bull Eagle.
No one knew which eagle of the old civilization had evolved from. Most scientists believed that the Tosky Bull Eagle did not evolve from a particular eagle. Instead, it was a type of eagle that had undergone a drastic genetic mutation among all the eagles.
This was because every eagle had some differences in size and shape.
Then, these eagles mated and reproduced, eventually forming the unique species of the Purple Moon era — the Tosky Bull Eagle.
Its combat power was average. Strictly speaking, it was only a Level 3 vicious beast, but its flight endurance was astonishing.
Of course, its overall performance was incomparable to the planes of the old civilization. As a matter of fact, its top speed was only 200 kph, but it could carry a hundred kilograms of weight and fly for 24 hours non-stop. Coupled with its combat power, it was a rare form of transportation in this era.
After the eagles landed, the leader of the men in grey robes took out a bamboo tube from his pocket.
He pulled out the stopper of the bamboo tube and poured out three bright red pills, which looked like pills, and fed them to the Tosky bull eagle next to him.
Strangely, the red pills seemed to be fatally attractive to the Tosky Bull Eagle. Not only did it not reject the gray-clothed man's feeding, it even swallowed the pills enthusiastically.
"Lord Shadow, if they eat these explosive pills, they'll die of exhaustion after flying for six hours." When one of the grey-clothed men saw this, he stood up and said to the leader of the grey-clothed men.
So, he is Shadow?
Shadow did not respond to the question. When he turned around, all he saw was a strange crying mask.
"Mission upgrade. We must increase our speed." He was a man of few words and tossed the bamboo tube to another man in grey.
No one had any more questions. All of them quietly poured out three red pills from the bamboo tube and fed them to the Tosky Bull Eagle beside them.
Then, all of them took out a bundle of rope from their pockets and shook it. It looked like a rein.
Then, the reins were tied to the Tosky Bull Eagle's sharp beak. Ying pulled the reins and jumped onto the Tosky Bull Eagle's back.
"Let's go. We'll arrive at our destination within 150 minutes. "As his voice subsided, the Tosky Bull Eagle under his feet soared into the sky.
After consuming the red pills, the Tosky Bull Eagle, which was barely moving, suddenly exploded with the speed of a Thunder Eagle. It sprinted like a thunderstorm and instantly became a small black dot in the sky before vanishing.
Mission upgrade? Could it be that the journey that should have taken six hours a night had become two and a half hours?
Shouldn't they be riding on the Nanlie Blackmane Horse?
One of the men in grey was puzzled. He did not know why they were in such a rush. However, he still jumped onto the eagle's back without saying a word and was the first to fly into the sky after Shadow.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Aber, who was pacing back and forth in the room, picked up the communication device.
"My dear mother, is there any news?" Aber's face was filled with anticipation and joy.
"What? You're saying that my news is outdated? The reward you received was an upgrade? "Aber was slightly disappointed.
At this moment, a calm, cold, and emotionless female voice came from the other side of the phone. "However, due to your enthusiasm, the higher-ups will still give you a reward, but I don't know what it is exactly."
"That's good. But what do you mean by the mission upgrade? Why would such important news be … outdated? "Aber was still unwilling to give up.
"I don't know. Contacting the Stardust Council through so many channels has cost me my energy and connections, so I can't ask any more questions. As for you, don't keep doing stupid and useless things.
On top of that, I don't think Safety Sector No. 17 is a suitable place for you to stay. I've fought for a spot in the Ivy League Alliance Academy for you. You can leave tonight and come to me. "The calm female voice suddenly revealed a shocking piece of news.
"Mother? Why? No, wait, did you say the Ivy League Alliance Academy? Oh, Mother, I can't express how much I love you. "
"But why do we have to give up Safety Sector No. 17? I'll definitely become the castellan and occupy the next safety sector for you and our noble Hermes family. This … "Aber was still unwilling to give up.
"It's not giving up. I've received news that Safety Sector No. 17 will be in turmoil tonight, so it's best that you leave tonight. Moreover, it'll take some time for it to stabilize, so let your stupid father's family do their best. After you graduate from the Ivy League Alliance Academy, you'll naturally become the castellan. I think that's a better path.
Remember, pack everything as soon as possible. Don't tell anyone about this, including that old fox, Clyne. An hour later, the emissary of the Hermes family will appear in the inner city. He'll protect you and bring you to me, my dear son. "
"I love you, Mother. I'll pack everything as soon as possible. "Aber sounded excited.
"Mm, I love you too. I'm looking forward to seeing you soon." The communicator was then hung up.
Aber held the communicator in his hand and waved his fists in the air. His face was filled with excitement.
How many people in Safety Sector No. 17 knew about it? No, these country bumpkins would never understand it.
In this world, there were some elite academies that followed the traditions of the old civilization.
Of course, these academies were different from what the old civilization taught. Their main purpose was to nurture the elites, the top Purple Moon Warriors, and all sorts of occupations.
The Ivy League Alliance Academy was one of these elite academies. Of course, the best one was the Qinghua Academy in the True Capital, but it was not a place that Aber could reach.
Regardless, being able to enroll in the Ivy League Alliance Academy was already very … Hmm, very exciting.
As expected, the Goddess of Luck was always on his side.
With that thought in mind, Aber could not help but growl. It was at that moment that his room door was pushed open and Clyne walked in.
"My dear little Aber, what's making you so excited?" Clyne noticed the redness on Aber's face and the excitement in his eyes.
Aber reacted quickly and said, "Torturing Tang Ling makes me feel good from the bottom of my heart."
The answer was reasonable, but Clyne still frowned and showed a trace of dissatisfaction. "Don't put your attention on these trivial matters. You're a person with a bright future. How can you be so narrow-minded? "
Clyne couldn't help but let out a sigh in his heart. Perhaps it was Andrew? No, I can't think that way. Andrew is just a bastard of the Agnes family. He doesn't have a powerful mother or a powerful Hermes family to support him.
Choosing Andrew would be the dumbest decision. It could only be Aber. Aber is the only heir to the family.
Clyne was a little angry. Did I fall for that kid's words?
Aber did not know that his family leader was disgusted by him, so he showed a respectful attitude, which pleased Clyne.
"Where's Worf? I asked you to monitor him." Clyne took out a cigar and sat on the sofa.
"He's fine, except for going to the toilet once. It's just a minute. He's been decorating the welcome hall after that. It seems like he fears and cares about the Lord Emissary from the bottom of his heart. " He did not care about Worf or Tang Ling anymore. All he wanted to do was pack up and run towards his bright future.
In the surveillance footage, Worf was indeed busy. The funny thing was that he had already put on a formal suit and a long white wig, looking very formal.
According to the tradition of Safety Sector No. 17, the most formal attire was to be paired with a white wig.
"Very well. Worf dares not do anything out of the ordinary. His spatial ability worries me, "Clyne said in a relaxed tone. As a matter of fact, Worf had already handed over the keys to the prison. The keys could not be duplicated, so there was no need for him to monitor Worf like this. However, being careful was the rule of thumb.
"Is there anything else, my family leader? I went to the prison and it's filthy. I want to take a bath, "Aber said in a slightly embarrassed tone.
"That's all. Enjoy your bath. You still have to meet the emissary from the Stardust Council tomorrow." Clyne stood up and left.
As Aber watched Clyne leave, he could not hold back his excitement as a smile curled up on his face.
Let the annoying old man worry and waste his energy. All he has to do is guard Safety Sector No. 17 for me and wait for me to come back and inherit it.

It was already late at night in early autumn.
The night breeze was much colder than the summer night.
It was the peak of the coldness of the night. A slim figure in a black robe appeared in a secluded alleyway.
The wind fluttered his loose black robe, revealing his tattered singlet underneath. His chest was firm and smooth.
However, there was an obvious burn mark in the middle of his chest.
He did not need to remove the mark with a cell repair agent. It was the mark that Safety Sector No. 17 left on his life.
The beauty, the pain, the warmth, and the sadness … Everything would be recorded in this mark.
On the other side of the alleyway, a man squatted down at the entrance with a cigarette in his mouth. He stared at the misty Purple Moon in the sky while fiddling with a butterfly knife.
He was waiting. Waiting.
