Shan rested her chin on her hands and watched the snowflakes falling from the sky.
When the snowflakes were getting heavier, Shan looked at the thick and low clouds in the sky and whispered, "It's almost time."
"Fifteen minutes, to be exact." Nausica inhaled and exhaled some smoke to hide her excited expression.
"We haven't seen Angor yet. Aren't you worried that he won't come?" Shan asked.
"Why should I? It's his own business whether he comes or not, "Nausica replied." Instead of worrying about him, let's find a way to wake Shiliew up. "
Shan: "Didn't I just list him as my future husband? If he doesn't come. If he doesn't come, I'll lower my ranking by two levels. "
"If Angor heard that, I'm sure he'll want to leave right away even if he's here."
Shan snorted and turned to look at Shiliew. "Shiliew, wake up, it's time to go!" She nudged Shiliew and said.
"You sound like we're going to die."
"In a sense, we are indeed sending ourselves to our deaths."
After a while, Shiliew opened her hazy eyes under Shan's forceful nudging.
…
There were only five minutes left until the deadline. No one was going to climb over the metal wall of the highland. The huge valley behind the high walls was as silent as a graveyard. Everyone had been in high spirits at the beginning, but now, they were silent. But what was slightly better was that at least there was no despair in their eyes.
The purification garden might be dangerous, but they were wizards, and every adventure they took was dangerous. As long as they could get something good out of it, they didn't mind it.
As time passed, a hooded black-robed man who was hidden in the crowd suddenly frowned.
"Did Dodoro's prophecy go wrong?"
Just as he was thinking this, there was a sound of something breaking through the air. Accompanied by a faint flame, it suddenly flew over from the distant sky. The hooded figure looked up and saw the figure floating in the air.
When he looked up, the hood of the hooded figure lifted slightly, revealing half of his face. If Shan was here, she would have greeted him with a big smile because the man in the black robe was none other than Angor, the man she always talked about.
Of course, he would not go back on his words. As Nausica said, he didn't like to show off, so he didn't go to the right side of the valley to seek attention. Instead, he simply found a secluded spot and rested for a while.
Of course, he saw Nausica and the others. Gank's size was too obvious. However, he didn't intend to go up and chat. He had already made the necessary preparations, and he had already explained everything that needed to be explained. He had the same idea as Nausica. The rest depended on one's luck. No one could help them forever.
Therefore, he only glanced at them from afar before looking away.
When the clock was about to hit the hour, he saw more and more people arriving. Keely was nowhere to be seen. Could it be that Dodoro's vision of the future wasn't referring to the purification garden at all?
Just as he was thinking about this, Keely suddenly appeared.
A girl in a dark-blue dress riding on a broom landed in the valley. She took down an oil lamp from the top of the broom. The orange flame on the lamp looked a little weak in the snow. The light also made her look a little indifferent.
As soon as she landed, the black cat also jumped down from the broom and sat on the soft snow.
Before anyone could guess who she was, she suddenly stepped out of her red dancing shoes and walked toward the right side of the river. With every step she took, a cold ice flame appeared beside her.
At the same time, Jebra, who was leaning against a tree and playing with the blue whale, suddenly straightened his back. His expression was grim as he looked at the young lady who was walking step by step with boundless cold flames.
As the girl moved closer, waves of energy also appeared behind Jebra.
Everyone was confused. Even Angor was confused. Why did it look like they were going to fight each other?
Also, the girl who dared to fight against the Son of Sea must be someone powerful.
"I didn't think I'd run into a lunatic like you here." Jebra's blue whale also began to expand in size.
"Either you die today, or I live." Keely spoke in a cold tone.
Jebra sneered. "If it wasn't for that old bastard of a teacher protecting you, I would've killed you already. Don't give yourself too much credit. You're going to die today, and I'm going to live just fine! "
Keely was never good with words. So what if Jebra won with words? As far as she was concerned, she only needed to kill him and everything would be over.
Just as the two were about to fight, the metal gate on top of the mountain slowly closed. A young man in a black robe suddenly appeared in mid-air, and a boundless pressure instantly engulfed everyone.
Thanks to this, the conflict between Keely and Jebra was quickly suppressed.
"Time's up. Mister Lawson is here. Looks like the purification garden is about to open."
"Too bad we won't be able to see their fight. Strange. Three women are trying to kill Jebra today. What kind of grudge does Jebra have against them? "
"Maybe they're just going to abandon him? Hahaha … "
The black-robed young man in the air was one of the two city lords of Floating Mech City, Lawson, also known as "Beast Emperor".
After Lawson stood still, the quiet valley became even quieter. No one dared to say a word. They all looked at the man in the air with trepidation.
Lawson didn't even bother to look at them. "Time's up. The purification garden is about to open. Everyone, prepare to enter."
With that, Lawson waved his sleeves and prepared to leave. It was as if his arrival was nothing more than a formality.
At this moment, the pressure on everyone was lifted. Someone suddenly shouted, "Lord Beast Emperor, please give us an explanation. What is going on?"
Lawson suddenly stopped and turned around. "You already know what you should know. What you shouldn't know is useless. Try your best to survive. Those who survive until the end will get what they want. Maybe … you'll even have a chance to rise to the top. "
With that, Lawson disappeared from the valley.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Even the elite apprentices on the right side of the valley couldn't figure out what was going on. Of course, they knew about the details of the purification garden. However, no one ever told them how the garden worked. He said to shave off 90%, how was he supposed to do that? Was it a fight? Or was there something else going on?
They thought that someone would voice their doubts before they entered the purification garden.
However, Lawson didn't say anything. The other adepts didn't intend to speak either.
For a moment, everyone looked at the ten core apprentices chosen by Floating Mech City. Since Lawson didn't say anything, they were the only ones who knew what was going on.
These ten apprentices in silver-white uniforms were not the slightest bit afraid of the crowd's gazes. Some of them even had mocking smiles on their faces.
However, when facing the elite apprentices, they restrained their arrogant expressions and waited for the battle to begin.
Suddenly, a giant door about thirty meters tall appeared on the cliff on the right side of the valley.
"The entrance is open. Come in, everyone. As for the exit … you'll come out when it's time. "A law enforcer's voice reached everyone's ears.
The ten apprentices from Floating Mech City looked at each other and rushed toward the door at the same time.
"Get them! We have to get them to tell us what's going on! "Someone shouted. Soon, countless apprentices from Floating Mech City rushed into the door as well.
The black mass of people rushed over like a swarm.
Keely stood up and stared at Jebra. "The purification garden will be your grave. I'll kill you this time, and next time, I'll kill your teacher, Flunza!"
With that, she turned around and left. She didn't want to kill Jebra in front of so many law enforcers. But now that they were in the garden, she had no choice.
Jebra's eyes widened a little when he heard Maine's voice. "Let's see who's going to kill you first, me or Keely?"
After saying that, Maine spread her wings with a smile and plunged into the giant door.
Nausica, Shan, and Shiliew all headed for the gate. When they were about to enter, Nausica suddenly frowned and looked around. "Huh?"
"What's wrong?" Shan asked.
"Someone's staring at me." Nausica saw a graceful figure out of the corner of her eye, but she couldn't see the person's face clearly because of the veil she was wearing.
"Staring at you? Are you afraid of being stared at? "
"No. I sensed something malicious in that gaze. I think it's an enemy of mine." Shan nodded. "But I don't think it's an enemy."
"Your enemy? Where is she? I'll remember her face. If I see her in the garden, I'll beat her up for you! "Shan quickly added.
"She's —" Nausica was about to point at the woman, but the woman had already disappeared from her sight. There were so many people around her that it was almost impossible to find her again.
Nausica shook her head. "Forget it. Let's go. If she's my enemy, I'll deal with her myself. "
With that, the three of them stepped through the door.
Meanwhile, Keely didn't head for the door right away. Instead, she asked the black cat to lead the way and jumped in front of a hooded man.
"Angor!"
Angor looked up and saw Keely's cold expression.
It seemed Keely wasn't in a good mood because of Jebra. However, she still tried her best to calm down when she remembered what her professor told her to do. "You've done well for the past half a month. You didn't disturb me and my professor. I can promise you that I'll look after you. "
"I don't need your help," Angor said without hesitation.
However, as a stubborn girl with autism, Keely only listened to what she wanted to hear. She didn't care about Angor's opinion at all.
"I'll find you as soon as I enter the garden. You'd better stay in a safe place and don't run around. If you die because of running around, it has nothing to do with me. "Keely said. She picked up the black cat Luna and leaped a few times, disappearing into the snow.
