The backstage of the players in the boundless arena.
This is probably the most peaceful backstage of the Rising Stars so far. Nearly 100 contestants sat or stood in the huge space, or leaned against the wall with their eyes down, or suspended in mid-air silently.
Even the most stabbed guy didn't dare to make a move at this time. Because, the captains of the four law enforcement teams, each occupying the four directions, although they did not release their coercion, but the penetrating eyes swept over everyone, making people unable to bear the chills down their spines.
"If anyone causes trouble at this time, no matter how legitimate you are, I will directly disqualify you from the award." The speaker was one of the four law enforcement team captains, a hunchbacked wizard leaning on a wand, his skin drooping and hugging Gravity, but the eyes hidden behind the old skin are still gloomy.
They came to participate in the Rising Stars competition in order to qualify for the Endless Corridor. If you are disqualified, you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life.
Therefore, under this threat, no one dared to take matters lightly.
Although there are rare signs of peace in the backstage of the players, it is not quiet. The law enforcement captain only asked not to cause trouble, and did not prohibit them from communicating, so taking advantage of this rare opportunity, the players were also interacting with each other.
For example, in the southeast corner, there are two people who are communicating silently.
"You seem to have been restless these days. If you have anything on your mind, why don't you say it?" Sairum hugged the Black Code, squatted in the corner, and looked at Nausicaa, who was surrounded by smoke on the other side.
Nausicaa's face flashed hesitation, as if she wanted to say something, but finally she shook her head: "I'm nothing, but you, I thought you would always indulge in your own emotions, but I didn't expect you to be in the mood to pay attention to other people, So you're not sad anymore?"
Sairum's eyes were a little sad, and he tightened his hand holding Heidian: "Since Heidian told Angel that he would come back, then I... believe him."
Nausicaa held the bong horizontally and exhaled a smoke with a rose scent: "He will come back, and he will become stronger, and he will become your strongest arm."
"I hope so." Sairum paused: "I am more curious about you now than about me. Don't change the subject, I don't believe you have nothing."
"… Could it be because of Reynolds?"
After a moment of silence, Nausicaa still admitted: "It is indeed related to him. He... invited me to do something, and I was thinking about whether to do it or not."
"Is it dangerous?"
"Everything has risks, it's just a matter of whether you can afford it." Nausicaa's eyes were a little hazy, and she didn't know if it was because of the smoke or confusion.
"Then can you afford it? Or, if you pay the price, what do you get?" Sairum asked.
"I don't know, because it's a restricted area full of unknowns, it may be very risky, it may not be risky. Reynolds escaped from that place, his goal is to destroy it, and my goal is to be inside one thing." After Nausicaa finished speaking, she looked at Sairum and suddenly burst into laughter.
She found that she was not as bold as Sairum now.
Nausicaa twitched her ears and hair, and Sairum dared to fuse the blue bloodline for the chance of almost dying. As for himself, he was even hesitating to choose between these two options.
Thinking of this, Nausicaa was a little hesitant at first, but now she has some bias.
Sairum didn't know what Nausicaa was feeling, but he still followed her words and asked, "What is it?"
Nausicaa hesitated, but said, "What I want is from that laboratory..."
Nausicaa was interrupted mid-sentence because there was a sudden commotion not far away. When they looked over, they realized that in the middle of the backstage of the players, there was a huge door out of thin air.
The door was slowly opening at this time.
As the crack of the door appeared, a dazzling white light shone from inside.
When everyone wondered what the meaning of this door was, a low and elegant female voice entered everyone's ears: "The players are starting to enter."
At the same time, the hunchbacked old wizard also said: "Don't be stunned, it's time to go in. The final ceremony is the road to glory behind this door."
Road to glory? While Nausicaa was still thinking about what it meant, the door was completely opened.
Under the crowded crowd, Nausicaa and Sairum were pushed into the door one after another. The previous conversation was also forced to stop.
When Nausicaa stepped out of the crowd, she had time to observe the surroundings.
Clear blue sky, no clouds visible. Without the cloud cover, the sun shines directly down, making the land shine golden.
Where they are now is a somewhat deserted square. Although the ground has begun to crack, it is still very smooth, with some artificial patterns.
Every player is observing the surrounding situation, and finally everyone's eyes are gathered in front of the square.
A road full of tall stone pillars.
This road leads directly to the top of the mountain not far away, and there are many stone pillars that are more than ten meters high along the way, extending to the top of the mountain.
On the top of the mountain is a huge palace. The palace appears to be made of metal, which is somewhat reflective from a distance.
At the main entrance of the palace, there are people who are shadowy, and I don't know who they are.
"This is the road to glory?" When Nausicaa murmured to herself, a gust of wind suddenly blew over.
The sun was shining directly on the skin, and it was slightly hot. This sudden wind brought a strange coolness.
Nausicaa looked at the place where the wind was blowing, but saw a light screen appearing in the center of the square out of thin air. The movement of the light screen brought a cool breeze, which seemed to remind everyone to pay attention to this side.
When everyone looked over, a row of words appeared on the light screen.
Welcome to the Path of Glory.
The typography shows where they are, but, beyond that, there is no other information.
Everyone doesn't know what to do next, so are they just looking at each other here? Or, to climb the road to glory, to the top of the mountain
When everyone was confused, the characters on the light screen slowly appeared and changed.
"100th in the Rising Stars, Shadow of the Sky."
With the appearance of this row of handwriting, the center of the light screen was like a water surface, a ripple appeared, and a card with a faint glow emerged from the light screen.
Under the blowing of the cool wind, this card fluttered down, spun a few times in the air, and finally landed in the hands of a young man in blue in the corner.
Someone nearby knew the young man and whispered, "I fought with him, and he is the shadow of the sky."
This card was obviously deliberately blown into the hands of the shadow of the sky. Could it be that this is a reward belonging to the shadow of the sky
There are people who are familiar with the shadow of the sky and want to come forward and ask. However, Kong Zhiying didn't answer, he pondered for a moment while holding the card, as if he was receiving some information.
After a while, the shadow of the sky suddenly moved.
came to the edge of the square.
Before, this square was sealed off by a strange force. Although you could see what was going on outside, you couldn't go out.
However, the shadow of the sky broke this confinement. He was not restricted by the enchantment of the square and walked out of the square easily.
And, there seems to be a goal.
Without hesitation, he ran towards the road leading to the top of the mountain.
