On the 9th of the Harvest Moon, thick black clouds piled up in the sky, indicating that a snowstorm was coming.

Jiang Xilin stood on the top of the water tower, looking at the vast world covered with ice and snow, and the water towers that stood between the sky and the earth like giant mushrooms.

The suffocation in his chest gave him the urge to shout loudly.

But in the end he suppressed it.

"Presumably at this time, people from the Kingdom's Night Knights have already started searching for me all over the city."

Jiang Xilin lowered his head and looked across a space of thirty to forty meters, staring at the ordinary civilians on the ground who moved as slowly as snails.

What you do is ordinary and valuable, but it is just a kind of self-comfort in the face of helplessness in life.

Now he feels more and more that the path a person will take is not decided by that person at all.

Jiangxi Lin let out a long sigh, and a line of white mist flew out for more than a meter before gradually dissipating.

Jiang Xilin put on his hat, raised his collar, turned around and walked towards the cast iron escalator on the outer wall of the water tower.

…

The Hammersmith shop under Water Tower No. 3.

Laird, who was wearing a black vest and a gray cotton coat, yawned and opened the door.

He walked to the stove, unzipped his pants under the cover of the charcoal stove, and started peeing with an expression of enjoyment.

After urinating, he couldn't help but tremble, and his mood could only be described as "comfortable".

"Ahem!"

A sudden coughing sound came from behind. Laird was startled and quickly pulled up his pants, but his movement was too fast, causing a gaping hole in his crotch.

He turned around angrily, wanting to settle the score with the guy who scared him.

Unexpectedly, when he saw that familiar mask, he lost his temper.

On the contrary, it can even be said to be a bit exciting.

Three days later, Master Black Crow came to see him again.

This showed that what he was most worried about that Master Black Crow would abandon him did not happen.

"Hei, Master Black Crow, you are here!"

"Well, I've been in big trouble recently. It may be difficult for me to even leave Dongting City alive. I don't have any friends here except you. I just want to see you again and help you solve some arcane magic circle knowledge that I can.

question."

Without any preheating, Jiangxi Lin started to "make tea" as soon as he came up.

Sure enough, when he heard that Jiangxi Lin was in big trouble that could threaten his life, Laird immediately became anxious.

He still had too many questions to understand about the improved design and experimental plan given to him by Jiangxi Lin last time.

"No, Master Black Crow, okay, why do you want to leave Dongting City suddenly?"

Jiang Xilin looked back at the empty street with wary eyes, and gently pushed Laird.

"Let's talk about it inside first."

…

The two entered the house, Laird turned around and closed the door, and then sat opposite Jiang Xilin.

"Recently, the Kingdom's Night Knights may take action against the Bright Arcane School. As a member of the Bright Arcane School, I am already on their must-kill list."

Jiangxi Lin selectively revealed some information to him and sighed with regret.

"This should be the last time we see each other."

"The Kingdom's Night Knights are going to take action against the School of Light and Arcane Arts?"

Laird was also shocked by the sudden news.

Ever since Jiangxi Lin became a senior member of the Illuminating Arcane School, Laird never went to the activity center in Kodakrang District.

Therefore, his status as a junior member of the School of Light and Arcana is equivalent to being in name only.

"Well, the action should be taken within the next two days, but I don't want to sit still and wait for death, so I plan to take the initiative. I know it is very dangerous, but I have no choice."

Jiang Xilin performed with great emotion, completely inserting himself into an involuntary character who just wanted to survive.

"Laird, if you have any problems recently, please bring them all out and I will try to solve them for you as much as I can..."

"Master Black Crow, it's already this time. What problem can we still solve? Please tell me what I can do to help you."

Laird interrupted Jiang Xilin with an extremely serious tone.

"Laird, we are friends, and I really don't want you to get into this muddy water."

Jiang Xilin shook his head and said sincerely, and then looked at him with an envious tone and longing eyes,

"To be honest, I envy you now because you have lofty and firm ideals. As for me, I am selfish. When I face the injustice and oppression that happens to others, I always look on with a cold eye.

Society, people who are meaningless to human beings, probably do not deserve to live in the world. If, I mean if, if I can survive this difficulty, I must change myself, I must be a person who is meaningful to society and to humanity.

Human useful person.”

Laird looked at Jiang Xilin. He must have been completely impressed by Jiang Xilin's tea art. Anyway, his expression was quite sad now.

"Master Black Crow, you are not as unbearable as you say. There may be many people in this world who far exceed your strength and ability, but no one agrees with and recognizes my ideals."

As he spoke, Laird took a deep breath, and the expression on his face and eyes were tinged with memories and loneliness.

Just listen to him continue to say,

"To tell you the truth, before I came to Dongting City, I stayed in the royal capital for a long time. I told many people about my ideals, but the responses I received were all indifferent.

Rejection is cruel ridicule."

"Until I met you in Dongting City, although you ridiculed my overestimation at first, in the end, it was you who gave me the greatest support and help."

"Whether it is the experiment of the standard arcane energy matrix, the improved design of the standard arcane energy matrix, or the design of converting arcane energy into power machinery, these are all things I have been pursuing, but I have been unable to do so due to my ability.

Completed."

"You helped me make a big leap in my ideals and allowed me to see the opportunity for my ideals to be realized in my lifetime, so I respect you and regard you as a life mentor."

"I don't want to explore your true identity or face, nor am I curious about the secrets behind the troubles you have encountered, nor do I want to think about the purpose and meaning of the words you said to me for my good."

"I just want to tell you that I want and am willing to do my best to help you."

As he spoke, Laird, a tall, rough man, suddenly stood up and bent ninety degrees towards Jiangxi Lin.

"Master Black Crow, please give me a chance to help you once."

Jiang Xilin sat blankly, his cheeks burning hot behind the mask.

As for the reason, haha, of course it is shame.

As the old saying goes, there is no shortage of smart people in this world, and people with lofty ideals cannot be fools.

Probably because I have experienced too much and been in the big dye vat for too long, I have become accustomed to treating sincerity as a synonym for childishness and stupidity.

Jiang Xilin took a deep breath, brushed away those embarrassing, failed and clumsy tea art performances, readjusted his emotions, and went straight to the topic:

"Okay, let me tell you the truth. I want you to help me kill two people in the chaos. They are members of the Night Knights of the Kingdom."

"Okay, time, place."
