The wind howls and the snow drifts.

The light of the fire flickered, and the tall figure was facing the campfire, and white snowflakes fell on his shoulders.

The long and thick fingers tightened little by little and grasped the hilt of the sword. Not far behind the man, a figure appeared, with a tall hat covered with snow, and wearing a black woolen coat.

"Regent."

The visitor took off his top hat, revealing a head of gray hair, with a torn purple cloak floating behind him.

The regent still turned his back to Suleiman and said calmly: "I am the only one here. There is no pardoner or imperial guard."

Suleiman was flattered: "It is an honor for me to be personally received by His Highness."

The regent tilted his head slightly: "I have a question that I hope can be answered."

"Please say."

"How do people like you manage to communicate so freely?"

Suleiman seemed to have anticipated the regent's question. He held his hat in his right hand and bowed weakly: "Your Highness, if you join us, you will soon understand what is going on. It is not difficult to explain. Compared with those living on the ground,

People, we're just underwater."

The regent shook his head: "That's not what I'm talking about, Suleiman, don't fool me with those easy-to-understand concepts. We are all fish in the river, and no one can escape."

"Your Highness, even we can't grow wings. You asked the wrong person. As for the dream world, we are only exploring the sinking world. The sinking world will one day rise. This is the conclusion."

The regent didn't speak anymore. He turned around and looked at Suleiman calmly, as if he wanted to find out something.

Suleiman smiled and said: "If you have no questions, then our communication ends here."

"Can."

In an instant, Suleiman's figure disappeared and suddenly appeared beside the regent. However, the latter was faster than him. He reached out and grabbed the campfire and threw it into the air. Sparks flew and repelled Suleiman's probing attack.

.

"What's this?"

Suleiman looked at the layer of ashes on his clothes, which seemed to be left after something had burned out. He felt that his speed had slowed down a bit.

The Prince Regent still stood where he was and said calmly: "A little gift will stop you from going so fast."

Suleiman was not in a hurry: "Your Highness has been staying here since leaving Little Londinium. Am I right?"

"I’m waiting for you."

"No, you're not waiting for me."

The regent's brows moved slightly: "Really?"

"You're waiting for him."

"Who are you waiting for?"

"Waiting for that flying fish."

"oh?"

The regent clapped his hands, and there was some inexplicable meaning in his tone: "Suleiman, I guess before you joined the Deep Sea Council, the Twin Queens should have valued you very much. They may not know that you are already a Deep Sea Council, Suleiman."

Man, you know a lot about the deep sea, but you are unwilling to do anything. If this land is a broken ship that is about to sink to the bottom of the sea, all you will do is to open more holes in the hull to make it sink faster.

.”

"Your Highness, how do you know we have no other way?"

"I don't care whether you have it or not. At least, you can't interfere with my plan. This is the bottom line."

Suleiman asked curiously: "What exactly happened to you? You are completely different from before. Was it your head that was damaged in that war?"

"Suleiman, you punched me several times in Little Londinium, and now I'll give it back to you."

Suddenly, the situation reversed. Suleiman also disappeared first. What he did was to escape rather than attack.

The Prince Regent stretched out his right hand, and a pocket watch fell from his palm. Snap, the brass case opened, and the shadow of the white stone clock tower emerged behind him, with one long and one short hour hand slowly rotating in the opposite direction.

Suleiman, who was galloping, looked at his body in disbelief. His movements became extremely slow. He was walking through the fog, as if he was stuck in a quagmire. It took a huge effort to move forward even a few centimeters.

"Suleiman, the Sakaz people are far more terrifying than you think."

The regent moved forward step by step, his movements unaffected by anything, and he caught up with Suleiman bit by bit. His palms wearing metal finger guards pressed Suleiman's face, causing his face to wrinkle.

The white stone clock tower behind the Regent disappeared, and the deeply affected area returned to normal.

boom!

The tall Sakaz man pressed the gray-haired Suleiman against the wall, and a large piece of the solid cement wall suddenly sank. Suleiman, who was holding his head tightly, opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood, and his whole body fell into a state of dizziness.

, unable to move.

"I said, you underestimate the Sakaz people too much."

Dark red light waves condensed in his hands.

"Cough cough cough cough!"

Suleiman coughed violently and kept spurting red blood from his mouth and nose. His figure suddenly became illusory and scattered, as if six of him appeared at the same time.

The dark red light wave in the hand of the regent condensed into shape and was smashed towards Suleiman. The cement wall collapsed suddenly, raising dust all over the sky, mixed with snow and water, and scattered everywhere.

"escaped?"

The regent looked around and found no target. He lowered his head and saw a damaged piece of drawing paper soaked in water. The dye was smeared and nothing could be seen clearly.

"Ahem."

A slight cough came from behind the Regent, and then spread everywhere.

"Your Highness," Suleiman's voice was very weak, "You think now is the best time, and I also think it is the best time. When you regard others as prey, have you ever thought that you are also prey?"

The Prince Regent's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly covered his mouth with his hand. A trace of blood flowed out from between his fingers and dripped into the stagnant water.

When did you get infected?

Is it during the conversation?

I was too careless. I originally thought that I would not be injured if I was careful, but I didn't expect that these deep seas would still take advantage of me.

"Run away, Deep Sea. Since you dare to admit that you are the prey, the hunter is already approaching."

The regent turned and left without stopping for a moment. He had more important things to do.

A moment later, Suleiman emerged from the wind and snow, stumbling on the road. The regent's attack was not only physical, but also caused real damage that penetrated all defenses. This was something that no deep sea was willing to face.

"King Sakaz, it's really scary. He's just empty-handed and hasn't drawn his sword yet. Fortunately, my mission has been completed."

In the thick fog, Suleiman's footsteps stopped. He stared at the opposite side, his pupils contracting slightly.

A figure appeared quietly, like a predator in the deep sea, with white hair, red eyes, a giant sword, and an indifferent expression.

"finally found you."

"Scadi."

Suleiman let out a soft cry, as if he had encountered a natural enemy, and his figure suddenly disappeared. Then a sword that cracked mountains and rocks struck him. He was overturned by the turbulent air waves and was forced to exit the rapid state. He flew backwards and was smashed into a

A residential building was buried in broken masonry.

…

…

"Your Highness, are you injured?"

The regent said nothing and walked so fast that the followers behind him could only jog to keep up.

He was indeed injured, it was an accident.

Is it really an accident?

The Prince Regent suddenly remembered something, reached out and took out the dice from his pocket, and the first number he saw was two.

“Luck continues to decline or fluctuates slightly?”

He didn't know that he knew very little about mysticism, and all his thoughts were focused on his own plan.

"Your Highness," a subordinate reported, "there is something wrong with the situation. There seems to be some unexpected monsters in the fog."

"Keep putting in the effort."

Someone quickly brought a chair for the Sakaz man to sit on. A medical staff carrying a medical kit ran over, but he stopped him.

"unnecessary."

The more it is at this time, the less likely it is to receive treatment.

The Prince Regent clutched the dice tightly in his hand, and he could already feel that the other party was about to move.

"Your Highness, all the current data are normal, but..."

"I understand, continue to monitor."
