Inside The Black Mist

Chapter 671: the past year

Views:

The day will pass.

Night arrived as expected.

After the setting sun jumped into the sea, the lights on all the buildings in the Skyforge and the upper city lit up.

The bright lights even illuminated the night sky and the sea.

The time is seven o'clock.

Tianyang drove the blue light magnetic energy vehicle on the urban road of the fortress. Following the instructions, he drove at a relatively slow speed following the traffic in front.

Chariots and soldiers of the Iron Wall and Storm can be seen everywhere, and the responsibility of maintaining order tonight falls on them.

Occasionally, one or two three-dimensional armed aircraft can be seen. Those steel giants stand quietly, like silent guards, watching everyone who passes by them.

Traffic is now moving in the direction of Memorial Park.

The Memorial Park was the first community park built when the Skyforge was built. The park houses the first Star Marrow Pillar discovered in the 127th Reverse Realm.

This star pillar has been preserved in the memorial park for more than fifty years.

A long time ago, many Ascendants were born through it. Until the past ten years or so, no one has heard of anyone awakening with the help of this star pillar.

After leaving the Reverse Realm, the star energy of the Star Pillar continued to dissipate. Some people speculated that within one or two years, this Star Pillar would completely die.

Unexpectedly, after the discovery of the Star Vein Land, the Ancient Star Crystal Tree vaguely resonated with all the star pillars in the Reverse Realm after completing its breakthrough evolution.

Even this star pillar that left the world of rebellion has come back to life and is growing again.

In addition to the dance party at tonight's Starlight Festival, the fortress residents who have just reached adulthood this year will be arranged to touch the star pillar to have a chance to awaken.

This is the main part of the Starlight Festival every year. I wonder if this year's Starlight Festival will expand the selection of candidates and go down to the lower class.

Let the residents of the lower city also have the opportunity to touch the Star Marrow Pillar.

It took Tianyang nearly twice as long as usual to reach the memorial park. After parking the car as instructed, he got out of the magnetic car.

In the night wind, the young man's silver hair, like a flame, danced with the wind.

This attracted the attention of many people.

Coupled with the formal suit that Xiaoniao specially picked out for him today, Tianyang looks radiant and heroic tonight.

Especially the eye mask on his face added a bit of mystery to him, making the girls who were looking at Tianyang blush faintly on their faces.

Tianyang gathered his hair that was blown by the wind, lowered his head, and walked quickly towards the door.

After showing his ID card, Tianyang walked into the memorial park.

"Tianyang."

“This way!”

As soon as he entered the door, he heard the chirping of birds. Tianyang looked in the direction of the sound and saw several beautiful figures.

Xun, Xiaoniao, Qianhong, Bai Yinglan are all here. There are also Yingxue and Shiso.

Tianyang walked over quickly: "Where's Kunlan?"

The bird spread his hands: "I haven't seen it yet."

Tianyang looked towards the gate and asked, "Is it possible that I can't get in?"

Then he looked at Xun again: "Didn't you bring Xiaojie with you?"

Xun was wearing a simple dress tonight. The style of the dress was simple, but the backless and long skirt design made Xun look noble.

Tianyang also noticed that she was wearing several pieces of jewelry, which were rarely seen in normal times.

"He's here. He's already at the party. I heard they're starting to serve iced sweet tea, as well as drinks from the West.

He can’t wait for the ice cream to be served.”

"What in the Westland?"

An impatient voice sounded. Kun Lan was moving his body awkwardly, complaining that the clothes he was wearing were too tight.

"Ice cream, a dessert from the Western Continent..."

Before the bird could finish explaining, he ran away impatiently.

"Is this guy really here for the food?" Xiao Niao covered his forehead and said helplessly, "If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have spent so much time picking clothes for him this morning. I could have just let him buy a formal suit. What he needs is an 'admission ticket' anyway!"

Tianyang laughed heartily. In this festive atmosphere, he could completely relax.

Especially in front of friends, there is no need for any disguise.

A hand suddenly rested on his shoulder and pushed his head towards something soft, and then Tianyang heard Ji Yu's voice.

"Isn't this our little Tianyang? I didn't expect you to be so attractive in formal attire."

Ji Yu said casually: "How about going home with your sister tonight?"

Xun covered her mouth with her hands in surprise, frightened by Ji Yu's boldness.

Xiao Niao gestured nervously with her hands: "Sister Jiyu, let Tianyang go. There are too many people here. It will have a bad influence."

Thousand rainbows.

Well, there was a fierce light flashing in her eyes.

"Hahaha, look how nervous you are. Don't worry, I won't steal your man."

Ji Yu let go of his hand.

Cangdu's voice came from behind: "Ji Yu, as a member of the Night Walkers, you should at least maintain our image."

Cangdu, dressed in formal attire, stood tall and straight, exuding an air of heroism. Moreover, after becoming the captain, he became even more stable, which was very different from when Tianyang first met him.

Next to him was Qing Dai, who was wearing a low-cut dress. This charming woman looked even more charming tonight. Hearing Cang Du's words, she smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth, attracting many men nearby to stop and look at her.

"Yes, yes, Captain Cangdu. Fortunately, you are only the captain now. If you were to become the commander in the future, I'm afraid we would have to re-establish the rules, right?"

Ji Yu was wearing a short dress tonight, which was also eye-catching, but her body language was too wild, so people paid more attention to Qingdai, or Xiaoniao and other girls who were full of youthfulness.

"Without a disciplined team, there is no combat effectiveness. I don't think a lax atmosphere will do any good to us Night Walkers."

Cangdu responded to Jiyu's words calmly.

Ji Yu was about to refute, when suddenly a big hand fell on their heads at the same time, and then they heard Han Shu's voice.

"You two guys are really annoying. You're both already independent, why are you still bickering like this?"

"team leader!"

Tianyang and his friends greeted him immediately. Han Shu waved his hand and said, "There is no captain today, only Han Shu. Boys, have fun and drink. Of course, don't get drunk."

As he was speaking, a small figure passed by Han Shu and headed straight for Tianyang.

"Brother Tianyang!"

Tianyang looked carefully and found that it was Lao Xu's daughter, Xiaomai.

The little guy opened his arms, and it was obvious that he wanted Tianyang to hold him. Tianyang did not refuse. He squatted down and picked Xiaomai up.

"wheat."

Next to Han Shu, the old Xu couple came over, and Xiaomai's mother said with a reproachful look on her face, "Come down quickly, don't wrinkle your brother Tianyang's clothes."

Tian Yang laughed and said, "It's okay, I like Xiao Mai very much."

Old Xu chuckled and said, "If you like her, get married and have kids right away."

Hearing this, Qianhong nodded in agreement.

Han Shu shook his head and said, "How long do you want to stand at the gate? Let's go to the dance."

He calmly came to Xun's side and coughed dryly: "Will your teacher come tonight? Well, I don't want to find her as a dance partner, but I haven't seen her for a while. Is she okay?"

Xun pretended that she didn't understand what the captain meant, and responded with a faint smile: "The teacher will come tonight, but it will be a little later. She said that if Captain Han wants to find her, he can't dance with other women tonight."

"Ah, this..."

Han Shu couldn't help but stop, looking distressed.

The ball was set up in the center of the park, where there was a large open space. A high stage had been built, surrounded by colorful lights, and in the distance were new-growing star pillars that glowed with a faint silver glow.

"Why did you come just now?"

Kun Lan was holding at least four cups in his hands. These cups were made of special ingredients and were edible.

They are filled with spherical objects that exude coolness and are in the colors of blue, red, yellow and purple. They are also sprinkled with colorful sugar crumbs, which make people feel sweet just by looking at them.

Kunlan stuffed one of the cups to Tianyang: "Baimao, you have to try this. It's so delicious, I ate five cups!"

OMG

Looking at Kunlan who was as happy as a child, Tianyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

In just a short time, you've already had five cups. Did you skip dinner? Of course you did. You plan to fill your stomach with the delicious food tonight!

Tianyang stuffed the cup of ice cream into Xiaomai’s hand. The little girl filled her mouth with the ice cream and was so happy that she couldn’t stop smiling.

In the corner of the dance venue, long tables were carried out. After they were placed, chefs pushed food carts and, with the help of their assistants, began to put the cooked food on the tables.

Kunlan's eyes lit up and he was about to rush to the food corner, but was caught by the bird.

“You can’t go now!”

"The food can only be enjoyed after the party starts. It has to be after the first dance. If you go over now, it will be too embarrassing!"

Kun Lan looked at the delicious food so close to him but couldn't enjoy it, and he became very depressed.

When the time reached 7:50, light screens appeared in the sky above the Memorial Park, on the walls of many buildings in the Upper Town, and in every corner of the Upper Town.

When people saw these light screens, they fell silent, and then they saw the city lord, dressed in a neat military uniform, appear on the screen.

Tonight, Yuan Shu was in high spirits, his eyes sharp but also a little gentle.

He smiled a plain but contagious smile: "Good evening, everyone from the Skyfort."

"Today is the last day of the 662nd year of the Restart Calendar. In the past year, our fortress has experienced many things."

"We prevented the birth of a Black King, we won a fortress war, we suppressed a secret realm of the underworld, we discovered the Star Vein Land, and set about building a brand new base on the Star Vein Land!"

"In the past year, many people have sacrificed their lives and paid with blood and sweat. Here, I want to tell you that all the sacrifices and efforts are worth it!"

"that is because... ... .."
