Western Continent, Dawn City's outskirts, Night Mountain.
While Gulimo was having a Star Climbing Duel in the Dream Crystal, two uninvited guests arrived at Night Mountain in the real world.
In the clear night sky, a layer of dark clouds suddenly floated over.
Looking up from the ground, one wouldn't think that there was anything wrong with the sudden appearance of the dark clouds. They would only think that the dark clouds appeared a little too quickly.
However, if someone were to use binoculars, they would be able to clearly see that the dark clouds in the sky didn't float over on their own. At the edge of the dark clouds, there were flocks of crows. These crows were so dense that they seemed to have drawn a pitch-black outline on the edge of the clouds.
Hundreds of thousands, millions of crows, each of them holding a cloud thread at the edge of the clouds in their beaks and flapping their wings with all their might … They were the ones who pulled the thick dark clouds in the sky over.
Anyone who saw such a spectacle would be astonished.
Unfortunately, it was the middle of the night.
There weren't many people in Night Mountain. The only castle that was lit up was the castle, and most of the people inside were asleep.
Apart from a few kittens in the castle, no one else saw this scene.
This strange dark cloud floated to the peak of Night Mountain and stopped. The crows holding the cloud thread in their beaks also began to disperse, but they still hovered around the clouds. From afar, it looked like black smoke rising from the edge of the dark clouds.
Time slowly passed.
About half an hour later, a cold and gentle light shone from the sky.
The moon was in the middle of the sky, and its position was at the peak of Night Mountain.
When the moon revealed its true appearance, a woman wearing a robe decorated with stars and moon slowly materialized from the moonlight. Her bare feet, which were adorned with exquisite footwear, slowly landed on the dark clouds.
She lifted the hood of her Star and Moon Robe, revealing her wavy black hair that fluttered gently like a cloud. Every strand of her hair was as smooth as silk, revealing a warm luster under the moonlight. The hair ornament on her head was also a bright crescent moon and scattered stardust.
She stood quietly under the moonlight, bathing in it as if she was one with the moonlight.
"Tiredness, is this the place that Teacher was talking about?"
Her voice was very cold, like the crisp sound of an ice-cold stream hitting a pebble.
The one she called "Tired" was actually a black kitten. The kitten looked very tired. Its eyelids were drooping as if it would fall asleep at any moment.
It was worth mentioning that there was a bright yellow crescent-shaped mark on the kitten's forehead.
"Dear Ms. Moon, you should know that Mr. Late Sleeps wouldn't tell these things to a sleepy kitten. He knew that once Kitten was entangled with these troublesome matters, Kitten would not be able to sleep at night. Master Sleepless Later is so noble, why would he make things difficult for a kitten in the corner of the Holy Temple? "
Every sentence of Tiredness seemed to be saying "Lord Late Sleepers", but Moon Lady knew very well that it was secretly mocking her: Even Lord Late Sleepers didn't make things difficult for Kitty, but you, Moon Lady, still want to make things difficult for me. He even brought the sleepy kitten out of the temple in the middle of the night. It was a heinous crime.
Moon Lady naturally heard the underlying meaning of Tiredness, but she didn't care at all and pretended not to understand. "Didn't I tell you what Master Late Sleeps said? You have a better sense of direction than me, I believe you."
Tiredness rolled its eyes at Moon Lady in annoyance, yawned, and coiled up on the black cloud. "Were you born in the Western Continent, or was I born in the Western Continent? Why are you asking me? "
Moon Lady: "I was born in the Western Continent, but I spent most of my time in the Abyss or Crow Castle. Moreover, the sun guided the way every time I went out, and the sun isn't here today … "
Tiredness looked at the crestfallen Moon Lady and sighed softly. "I knew you would say that. When I left the Holy Temple, I had already informed the sun. He's probably coming soon. "
"The sun is coming?" Moon Lady's eyes lit up, and her expression was obviously happy.
But soon, Moon Lady's eyes dimmed slightly again.
She muttered in a low voice, "Am I too dependent on the sun? When I left the Holy Temple, I clearly decided to be independent for once, and I deliberately didn't tell the sun …"
"But now that I hear that the sun is coming, I actually feel surprised?"
"I really rely on the sun too much, I want to change …"
Tiredness also heard Moon Lady's muttering, and it couldn't help but curl its lips. "Come on, big sister, you can still maintain all your humanity until now, and even be surprised that you're about to see the man you love. You're just secretly happy. "
"In a few thousand years … No, in a few tens of thousands of years, when you see the sun, you'll probably kick him to the end of the space time."
"Cherish the time you have now."
After Tiredness finished speaking, it was too lazy to listen to Moon Lady's voice. It directly buried its head on its stomach, letting the fluff cover its ears. It didn't want to listen to the noise of the outside world anymore … As a kitten, it should sleep well.
However, just as Tiredness was about to settle down, Moon Lady's bare feet stepped directly on its stomach.
Of course, she didn't step on it forcefully, and she still had some strength left.
But Tiredness jumped away suddenly, and said angrily, "What do you want? Can you wait for the sun to come and torture the sun? Don't torture a poor little kitten! "
Looking at the angry little black cat, Moon Lady was silent for a moment, and then whispered, "Sigh … you've been sleeping for a month."
Tiredness was so angry that its whiskers were floating. "What's wrong with a month? A kitten should sleep! "
Moon Lady: "… But, your lifespan …"
"… Only 23,000 years left."
Tiredness: "That's right, I only have 23,462 years left. So, big sister, can I beg you to let me sleep?"
Moon Lady: "Okay, I'll be honest. It's not that I want to disturb you, but Teacher Late Sleep doesn't want you to continue sleeping. After all, you have the best sense of direction, and in the next few years, we need you. "
When Tiredness heard that it was "Teacher Late Sleep" who said it, it instantly choked. After a long while, it said, "I don't believe that Teacher Late Sleep will make things difficult for a kitten."
Moon Lady sighed, and used her foot to rub the soft fur on Tiredness's stomach. "Do you think I dare to slander Teacher?"
Tiredness pushed Moon Lady's foot away, and then took three steps back. "… Okay, I can not sleep this year. But this time, the sun will help you, so don't call me again. "
Moon Lady walked to Tiredness with a smile, bent down, and carried Tiredness up. "Okay, as long as you don't sleep."
"… After all, if you fall asleep, even if the world is destroyed, you can't wake up."
Tiredness hummed and was about to refute, but at this moment, the full moon in the sky was suddenly surrounded by a dazzling halo.
A warm atmosphere filled the clouds.
Tiredness and Moon Lady raised their heads at the same time and looked up.
Behind the full moon, a fiery red sun rose.
The sun and the moon were instantly in the sky, and the dark night was dispelled by the bright light. In an instant, the whole sky seemed to become bright.
However, it was only in the blink of an eye.
The creatures on the ground didn't even have time to react, and everything returned to darkness again. It was as if all the visions just now were just a fantasy.
Moon Lady and Tiredness on the clouds were not surprised by the scene of the sun and the moon in the sky.
Tiredness even took the opportunity to yawn, and closed his small eyes for two seconds.
Moon Lady's face was flushed, and she whispered, "The sun … is here."
As Moon Lady's voice fell, a blazing red light fell on the black clouds. The red light, which was like the fire of the sun, quickly took shape, and finally turned into a burly man wearing sun armor.
His hair was burning like a raging fire, and his face was as deep as a sculpture. There seemed to be a fire jumping between his eyebrows.
And this burly man with fiery hair was the sun that Moon Lady had been thinking about.
In other words, Mr. Sun.
…
Mr. Sun walked step by step to Moon Lady's side and whispered in her ear, "Little Moon, I'm sorry I'm late."
Moon Lady lowered her eyes. "It's okay, it's my fault for not informing you."
As she spoke, Moon Lady's body seemed to be without bones, and she leaned softly on Mr. Sun's burly chest. Although Mr. Sun was wearing armor, the armor only covered half of his chest, and the other half was naked, and a black grape could be seen.
Mr. Sun held Moon Lady in his arms familiarly, and their hearty laughter and shy laughter intertwined above the black clouds.
The soft moonlight, the drifting cloud soil, and the bridge paved by crows.
Everything looked so beautiful and pure.
Only the little black cat, who was squeezed between the two and almost deformed, was Tiredness. It meowed helplessly and interrupted such a pure atmosphere of love.
Moon Lady held Tiredness and shyly stepped back a few steps.
Mr. Sun also laughed a few times and scratched the back of his head. "Oh, I didn't notice our little Tiredness."
"It's enough for you to call me little Moon, don't call me little Tiredness. I feel disgusted. "Tiredness looked disgusted.
Mr. Sun laughed awkwardly, and then under Tiredness' cold eyes, he forcibly changed the topic. "By the way, the reason why I'm late is that I received a message from Heinrich."
"Who's Heinrich?" The little cat, who was curious about everything, was immediately diverted and asked curiously.
Mr. Sun did not speak, but instead, he whispered to Moon Lady, who was hugging Tiredness. "Heinrich is a wizard in our previous organization, and also our good friend."
Tiredness heard this and immediately understood. "A wizard from Crow Castle?"
Moon Lady nodded.
She and Mr. Sun both came from Crow Castle.
Crow Castle was a large wizard organization in the Western Continent's wizard world. Although Crow Castle's deterrence decreased after the Crow Queen was assassinated, they still had a strong voice in the Western Continent.
In particular, she and Mr. Sun became legendary wizards, and the sun and moon shone on the Western Continent, which greatly increased Crow Castle's reputation.
Now, she and Mr. Sun had left Crow Castle and entered the Prophet's Temple in the Origin World.
However, Crow Castle still held an important position for them.
Heinrich was the Crow Queen's student, and also their friend. Therefore, when she heard that Mr. Sun was delayed because of Heinrich, Moon Lady completely understood.
"The Crow Queen's student?" Tiredness seemed to have thought of something. "Then he should be in the whirlpool …"
Moon Lady and Mr. Sun were silent for a moment, and finally, Moon Lady nodded. "Should be."
"Under such circumstances, Heinrich still contacted you. Could it be that he wants you to help him pass through the whirlpool? "Tiredness narrowed her eyes and looked at Mr. Sun.
Mr. Sun shook his head. "Heinrich knows our difficulties, and this is not something we can help with."
Tiredness heard this and heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good. I don't want to be involved in the whirlpool created by that lord. Also, Lord Tiredness doesn't want to have a misunderstanding with a peer. "
Mr. Sun and Moon Lady looked at each other and smiled bitterly. "We understand."
Mr. Sun paused and explained, "This time, Heinrich came to find me because he wanted to pass through the soul plane to go to the southern region."
"I helped him. He should be in the void near the southern region now … "
Moon Lady: "To the southern region? Why? "
The southern region's wizard world had been cut off from the other three wizard worlds for many years. Why did Heinrich suddenly want to go to the southern region? Was there a place worth going there?
Tiredness's ears twitched, and she whispered, "What can he do there at this time? It must be because of the Peach Heart Theater."
Peach Heart Theater? Moon Lady frowned and looked at Mr. Sun.
Mr. Sun nodded. "Yes, it's the Peach Heart Theater. He wants to take a gamble. If he can become an actor in the Peach Heart Theater, maybe … he can be saved. "
Moon Lady naturally knew what kind of place the Peach Heart Theater was. It was said to be a sacred place of art, but in her opinion, it was a hell of a lecture hall made of bones.
If Heinrich went there to fight for an opportunity, could he really fight for it?
Moon Lady felt that there was not much hope, but she also knew that Heinrich had no other choice.
"Sigh …"
Moon Lady sighed. She was originally happy to see Mr. Sun, but now, her mood slowly fell. No one wanted to see their old friend die in such a manner …
Mr. Sun walked forward and patted her shoulder gently. "Don't worry, maybe you can really fight for a chance?"
Moon Lady was silent for a moment and nodded gently. "I hope so."
The silent atmosphere lasted for about two minutes and was finally broken by Tiredness.
"Hey, hey, hey, it's time to get down to business. Didn't you come this time for Master Late's mission? Hurry up and find the place. "
Moon Lady also understood the importance of the matter and quickly raised her head to look at Mr. Sun.
Mr. Sun: "I already know the situation. You didn't go the wrong way this time. The place Master Late said should be nearby."
"Night Mountain, it's here."
Moon Lady: "According to Master, there should be 'abnormalities' nearby. How do we find them?"
Mr. Sun looked around.
At a glance, he saw the castle below Night Mountain. That was the only place on Night Mountain that was lit.
