Chapter 266 The End Without Regrets (7k)

In midsummer, the sun is shining brightly.

Xinghai Academy - Trial Island.

After several months of preparation, the last large ship carrying the reserve students arrived half a month ago.

Today is the first day of the trial.

In the open space next to the port of Trial Island, thousands of preparatory students are waiting for the trial to start, with expressions of excitement or apprehension.

Maybe they are geniuses in one place, surpassing thousands of their peers.

But here, they are just ordinary members.

Only the top and most dazzling geniuses can stand out and win less than [-]% of the formal student places, and realize the class leap in the true sense.

Except for these geniuses who participated in the trial.

Outside the port, there are dozens of ships, large and small, all of which are people who come to watch the trial.

There are tutors and students of the academy, as well as royal families and nobles from the three empires.

The purpose of their coming here is not simply to watch the trial, but to pass the trial and obtain information about those who finally pass the trial, and use this to judge who is more worthy of friendship and investment.

After all, although Xinghai Academy will provide students with free benefits that are far superior to other academies, most of them need to complete certain tasks or meet certain conditions.

And even if you get those benefits, it's not enough to squander.

If you want to focus all your energy on improving your realm and combat power, the best way is to accept the investment of a certain dignitary, at the cost of being driven by them for a certain number of years after graduation.

"The quality of students this year is good."

On the big ship closest to the port, the white-haired Alesico looked at the preparatory students on the island and nodded in satisfaction.

For him, who started as a mentor and was promoted to the dean step by step.

Many of the students who have taught have now occupied important positions in the three empires.

In terms of power and status alone, he is equal to the emperors of the three empires.

Facing his own hopeless situation at the fifth level, and without much pursuit of power and status, what he looks forward to most is naturally fame and fortune.

As long as Xinghai Academy can become more brilliant under his leadership.

Then, his name will definitely leave a strong mark in history.

"If you can solve the problem of fusion, maybe you can..."

Not knowing what to think of, Alesiko's face darkened slightly.

The middle-aged man behind him took a step forward and whispered "It's time" in his ear.

Alesico shook off the thoughts in his head, looked up and scanned the people on the surrounding ships, and was about to give an impassioned warm-up speech when he heard a harsh voice from behind.

"Sea hawks and thunder?"

"This is the sound of eagle thunder, the warning sound of Xinghai Academy."

"It is said that only the students and mentors of Xinghai Academy will be activated when they encounter an irresistible crisis, and the sound can be transmitted up to a hundred kilometers away."

"Who is so bold that he dares to lay hands on Xinghai Academy disciples in this sea?"

"It's fine to do it in this sea area, but today is the time."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, except for a small number of servants who followed the princes and nobles, the rest of them looked like they were watching a show.

The teachers and students of Xinghai Academy who belonged to the same ship as Alesico all showed an angry look after being provoked.

Although it was an early warning sound, no one showed any signs of fear.

After all, not to mention the powerful heritage of Xinghai Academy, just the guarding power brought by the royal nobles who came to watch today is enough to wipe out any organization or individual who doesn't have eyes.

"If you dare to break into the waters of my Xinghai Academy on the trial day, no matter who you are, I will make you pay a heavy price. None of your family members or the forces behind you will be able to escape!"

Alesiko's face was a little gloomy, and he was about to call for help when his expression froze suddenly.

The voice of eagle thunder is still there.

But among them, there was an increasingly loud sound of breaking the waves.

As the sound of breaking waves approached, a white boat could be seen from a distance, like a sharp blade, heading towards this side at high speed. The waves seemed to be divided into two halves, and its speed could not be slowed down at all.

"Bones! That's a ship made of white bones!"

Someone took out the binoculars, and quickly discovered the abnormality of the white ship that was riding the wind and waves.

Under the sunlight, the white boat reflected a strange white light, and the whole was composed of countless white bones.

Head, arms, thighs, torso.
The dry bones belonging to the deceased seemed to be glued into a boat by something.

Even though the light is shining and the heat is like fire, many people still feel a sense of coolness in their hearts.

On the bone ship.

A group of pale people stood on the deck, looking coldly in the direction of Trial Island.

"The truth is here?"

Ellie stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the dozens of ships in the distance, with no joy on her face that the truth was about to be revealed.

After returning to the human world after many years, many people have lost their acquaintances.

Coupled with the rejection from the human world due to physical reasons, the body seems to be pressed by heavy objects all the time, and the joy of returning to the human world has been wiped away.

What they want to do most now is revenge!

"So far this year, there have been five incidents of transfer boats disappearing."

Franco folded his hands on his chest, and said coldly: "The first two disappearances were the pick-up ships of Xinghai Academy, and the instructors who were guarding the safety of the ships were also gone."

Binder added from the side: "In general, if there is really a mastermind behind these incidents, apart from the royal families of the three empires, the only ones who are most likely to know the truth are Xinghai Academy."

"In other words, the mastermind behind the scenes is likely to be a power at the level of Xinghai Academy?"

Someone asked.

Franco nodded, then looked at Ellie, and asked, "Ellie, what do you think?"

Ellie shook her head and said nothing.

The overall strength of the human world is weaker than that of the abyss, but Xinghai Academy, as an academy jointly established by the three empires, ranks first in the comprehensive strength of the human world, far from being an existence that a group of them can compete with.

The only thing they can rely on now is Ellie's summoned beast.

So even Franco, who usually leads the overall situation, now has to seek Ellie's opinion.

"There are three layers of defense of our Xinghai Academy nearby. The fact that this bone ship can appear here proves that none of the three layers of defense can stop it."

Alesico stared coldly at the bone ship in the distance, and ordered to the deputy beside him: "Keep a few alive, and let the others make amends with their lives."

The deputy nodded and stepped back.

Soon, two law enforcement ships set sail to meet the menacing bone ship.

As the most important combat power of Xinghai Academy at sea, the speed of the law enforcement ship far exceeds that of other ships, and it has rushed several kilometers in no time.

"As expected, it is the academy I most wanted to enter."

Franco punched each other with both fists, with a look of excitement on his face, quite eager to try.

Ellie didn't speak, and there was a bit of worry in her eyes.

The group of them dared to go to the Xinghai Academy to ask for the truth. The biggest support is the little skull, but the little skull is not on this ship now.

Even though he said he left behind when he left, she was still a little uneasy.

"Enter Xinghai Academy's territorial waters without permission, we will give you the death penalty!"

With the shout of a law enforcement officer, hundreds of law enforcement officers on the two law enforcement ships shouted "death penalty" in unison, and the power of professionals rushed out.

The murderous voice seemed to annihilate the bone ship and everyone on it.

"Ready to fight, we..."

Franco put on his gloves.

A few clicks came from below, interrupting his voice, the bone ship seemed to have stepped on the brakes, and the speed slowed down rapidly.

The skeletons covering the surface of the hull also separated from the hull one after another at this time, stepped on the sea with both feet, and launched a charge towards the two oncoming law enforcement ships.

Ten, fifty, one hundred...

In a short time, hundreds of white bone skeletons broke away from the body and rushed out.

Compared with normal undead skeletons, these skeletons have no soul fire in their heads, and their bodies still emit a milky white shimmer, which looks like the lowest-level skeleton servants.

But the speed they displayed was no weaker than the third-tier undead warriors, or even the fourth-tier undead lords.

"So that's what the backhand said."

Allie breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the charging skeletons.

Facing hundreds of bones and skeletons with strong combat awareness, strength and number greater than them, the two law enforcement ships were quickly sunk.

Alessio, who felt abnormal, immediately sent the highest alert signal.

Summon the guardian forces of the surrounding colleges, and launched a siege to the skeletons centered on the bone ship.

The foundation accumulated over hundreds of years.

Let them face any force in the human world, and they have the capital to be invincible.

Not only the teachers and students of Xinghai Academy thought so, but also the royal family and nobles who came to watch the ceremony today.

But as time passed, the royal family and nobles gradually felt fear.

The combat power belonging to Xinghai Academy continued to decrease.

But there are more and more white bone skeletons, and even the bone ship that gave birth to them shows no signs of shrinking, as if more such strange skeletons can be summoned.

Unable to see the hope of victory, some of Xinghai Academy's guardian forces chose to flee, making Xinghai Academy's defeat even faster.

In less than an hour, the battle was over.

A large area of ​​the sea has been stained red with blood, and human corpses and shipwrecks can be seen everywhere.

Surrounded by thousands of skeletons, the remaining surviving ships dared not move, and the dignitaries on board turned pale with nervousness.

No matter how poor his eyesight was, he knew at this moment that the bone ship and the people behind it were by no means ordinary people.

this battle.

Once again, Ellie and others saw the huge gap between the fourth and fifth order.

Even if the true master does not come out, he can still easily destroy the strongest force in the world with hundreds of years of experience.

Although this is on the premise that the fifth level of the academy does not come out, it is enough to be proud of.

"You are the principal of Xinghai Academy?"

On the bone ship, Franco looked at Alesico who was lying flat on the ground in front of him, breathing weakly.

As a fourth-tier peak summoner, Alesiko was not weak in combat power and was still protected by layers of protection. However, in front of the even more terrifying group of bones and skeletons, he was still seriously injured and caught on board.

"Who are you? Why did you attack my Xinghai Academy..."

Alesico opened his eyes weakly, and felt the dead air on Franco and the others, and his voice suddenly paused: "Aren't you human?"

Hearing this sentence, everyone's face turned cold instantly.

Although physically speaking, they are indeed not human beings now.

But with human thinking, no one wants to hear this sentence, let alone admit that they are not human.

"It doesn't matter if we're human or not."

Franco stepped forward, stepped on Alesico's left hand, and said amidst the other's screams: "It's not that we want to attack you, it's you who attacked us first."

He sneered, and said again: "We came to you just to ask a question, the fog disappears every 30 years."

When Alesico heard the current result, it was probably caused by his side taking the initiative, and his face changed slightly.

And after the "fog disappearing incident" came out, an imperceptible panic flashed in his eyes, and he quickly pretended to be calm: "It was you who broke into our sea area first, and we did it. As for the truth about the fog disappearing incident, you ask It’s useless to me, nearly [-] of our outstanding preparatory students disappeared in the incident, if there were any results, it would have been announced long ago.”

Hearing this answer, Franco showed a look of disappointment.

If even the dean of Xinghai Academy doesn't know, isn't the murderer behind the mist disappearing incident artificial?

"He's lying!"

Ellie stood up angrily.

After hearing the disappearance of the fog, Alesico's expression changed slightly, which may be difficult for others to notice.

But she had learned relevant knowledge, and she never let go of it even though she was in the abyss all these years. Naturally, she noticed this at the first time.

That sudden change, and the subsequent words that were deliberately covered up.

It shows that Alessio not only knew the truth, but maybe even participated in it.

A soft sound.

Franco lifted the foot that fell on Alesico's hand, and stomped it down again.

"what!"

The flesh and bones of Alesico's left hand turned into a pool of bloody mud, and he let out a scream.

Franco ignored his voice, and directly said to Binder next to him: "It's up to you."

Binder nodded slightly, and took out the potion he had prepared.

Pulled off the stopper, squeezed Alessio's mouth with one hand, and poured the medicine into his mouth with the other.

The potion with a strong fishy smell made Alessio forget the pain for a short time, and he just wanted to vomit when he lay on his side.

"Advanced truth-telling potion, even knights of the same level as you drink it, and they will ask and answer anything, let alone you."

Franco removed the blood-stained shoes and sneered: "The only side effect is that after the effect of the medicine wears off, the brain of the user is also broken. I didn't want to use this trick. Who told you to be dishonest?"

Can firmly sit on the first seat of the leader.

What he has is not only force, but also cruelty to the enemy.

"No, you can't do this..."

Alesico felt his stomach hurt even more, and scratched his throat to spit it out.

After struggling for more than ten seconds, he became calm, his eyes were empty and lifeless, like a puppet without a soul, lying on the ground blankly.

Binder nodded, indicating that the potion had taken effect.

"Mr. Dean."

Franco asked: "Tell me, do you know the truth about the disappearance of the fog?"

Alessio's tone did not fluctuate: "I know."

Franco focused his eyes, and asked again: "Natural? Or man-made?"

Alessio replied: "Artificial."

Ellie clenched her hands into fists, her teeth biting her lips pale.

Even though more than once in the past I thought it might be artificial, but when I really heard the truth, the anger still burst out like a flame.

Franco was still asking, "Who are the participants?"

Mechanic Alesico's answer: "Marshall, Dumbledore, Reith..."

"Stop, just tell me who the forces are involved in."

"The academy alliance headed by Xinghai Academy, and the aristocratic alliance headed by the three imperial families."

"What is the reason why you manipulated the fog disappearing event?"

"About 200 years ago, we discovered that the abyss and the human world were gradually approaching. If nothing was done, they would merge together for at most a hundred years. At that time, the world would no longer be suitable for human survival, and human beings would also become a living creature of the abyss. food.

By consulting ancient books, we found a solution. As long as we sacrifice a batch of qualified human seedlings to the abyss every 30 years, the speed of fusion can be slowed down. "

"So we are all sacrifices!"

Franco couldn't help but sneer.

He thought about many reasons, but he didn't think of this alone, and was treated as a sacrifice without knowing it.

Suddenly there was a soft sound from behind the crowd.

Everyone turned their heads and found that it was Jiang Ren who had come back from nowhere, and there were three luxuriously dressed men at his feet.

Judging from the fist-sized holes on the three of them and the blood that was slowly flowing out.

They were dead, and hadn't been dead for long.

"they are?"

Ellie asked, but didn't call Little Skull because of the gap between time and strength.

Jiang Ren said casually: "I don't know, the strength is not bad."

"Three elders! No!"

Alesico's voice sounded suddenly.

The effect of the veritase potion had come to an end, and he gained a brief sobriety, but he would rather not have this sobriety.

As soon as someone looked at him, he saw his expression paused, crying and laughing and shouting: "Mom, I want mother..."

Binder concluded: "The effect of the medicine is over, crazy."

However, compared to the question of Alesico's madness, they paid more attention to the "three elders" he called out earlier.

It has been twenty days since I came to the human world from the abyss.

These days they stopped at many islands along the way and collected a lot of information about Xinghai Academy.

Among them, it represents the strongest background of Xinghai Academy and the three empires, and it is also the reason why no one dares to challenge them. It is because the three strong men who have reached the fifth level are called.

Moreover, they are likely to be the only three fifth ranks in the human world.

If these three corpses are really the three elders.

So how strong should the skeleton in front of him be who can deal with them by himself?How scary?
No one dared to ask, they all quietly looked at Ellie.

Ellie took a deep breath and asked Jiang Ren, "Are they the three elders?"

Jiang Ren's tone was relaxed: "I don't know, but there are areas."

Ellie had a result in her mind.

Domains can only be cast at the fifth level.

Coupled with the attack on Xinghai Academy, none of the elders stood up.

The identities of these three corpses are not the three elders, who else could they be?

Jiang Ren ignored the shock of the people around him, walked straight through the crowd, came to the crazy Alesiko, and said: "The fusion of the abyss and the human world is false."

"fake?"

People around looked at him suspiciously.

Jiang Ren didn't hide it either, and explained: "The abyss and the human world are two sides of the same world, just like the front and back of an object, which exist at the same time, but they can never intersect. The so-called proximity is just a lack of ability. misjudgment."

Ellie's nails sank deep into the flesh, and she smiled wryly: "So, we all became victims because of a misjudgment?"

Franco, Binder and the others lowered their heads, not knowing how to express their current mood.

Although it was originally forced, at least I can still say that people like myself prevented the fusion of the human world and the abyss, and maintained the peaceful and peaceful life of human beings.

But now, people like myself turned out to be just unlucky ones.

Jiang Ren didn't speak, patted Ellie on the shoulder, turned and left the bone ship.

Over the past hundred years, most of the people who made decisions about the disappearance of the fog have already died, and the most core three elders also died in his hands just now.

Although he felt incomprehensible, the revenge of being trapped for a hundred years has already been avenged by him.

He is not prepared to participate in the follow-up.

Of course, considering that he had been with Ellie for a while, he left the bone ship to her.

The only three fifth-tier powerhouses in the human world died, and relying on the bone ship, she could do anything in the human world, whether she wanted to continue revenge or live a peaceful life.

"The fog disappearing incident has been resolved."

"The target in front of me now is only Tier [-]!"

After Jiang Ren took a look at the three strong men of the same level, he was still at 99% of the progress. He couldn't help but recall the meeting with the King Bone King of that area before leaving the abyss.

The humanoid body is more than ten meters high, and the whole body, including the hands and feet, is organized by skulls.

Perhaps it was because of the rarity of the fifth level, or perhaps it was because the other party saw his own strength. In the end, not only did there not be any conflicts, but they even had a friendly exchange.

Among them, part of the information about the abyss and the human world was learned from the other party.

In the end, the next three elders were tortured, and only then did they piece together the cause and effect.

Compared with this matter, what is more important is the information about the sixth-order emperor.

According to Bone King, in the thousands of years since he can remember, he has never seen anyone advance to the emperor rank.

It is said that it is because of the suppression of the world.

Unless you don't use the energy of this world to cultivate from the very beginning, you can't escape this suppression, and it's even more impossible to advance to the emperor level.

"It's impossible for others, but I..."

Jiang Ren chuckled.

Since I came to this world, I have given up the mainstream energy source of this world, and have been promoted by the talents I brought.

If Bone King's guess is correct, then the person in this world who is most likely to be promoted to the emperor rank is himself.

After Jiang Ren left, the rest of the people got together to discuss.

With the physique of an abyss person, the lifespan is almost comparable to that of the undead.

But if they stay in the human world that is not suitable for them to live for a long time, it will greatly affect their lifespan, and even become less than ordinary humans.

In this case.

Some people choose to go to the abyss, while others choose to stay in the human world.

Those who stayed in the world included Ellie and her husband Binder.

Time is like an hourglass.

Before I knew it, more than 50 years had passed.

In the battle 50 years ago, more than half of the high-end power of Xinghai Academy was lost, and the three elders who maintained the ruling class of Xinghai Academy and the three empires died.

Without the support of the three elders, the kingdoms and principalities under the three empires are about to move.

Seeing that the war that spread to the whole world is about to happen, Ellie takes control of Xinghai Academy with the power left by Jiang Ren, and helps the three empires stop the war that may happen next.

After that, the three empires were controlled by means of thunder, and a large number of laws and policies were revised.

Moreover, several special monitoring organizations have also been established.

Members of several organizations have law enforcement powers and patrol a certain area, rotating at regular intervals.

Each other, and monitor each other.

It is impossible to say whether these policies are good or bad, but at least they have given a little new vitality to the empire that has not changed for hundreds of years.

For the lower class, there is also a little more hope of climbing the class.

Xinghai Academy, Back Mountain.

In a hidden place near the sea, there is an exquisite log cabin.

"Old guy, I'm going to trouble you again."

An old woman's voice came from inside the house.

Then, an old man's voice sounded: "If you think it's troublesome for me, please don't go before me."

"I will try my best." The old lady said.

The old man was a little dissatisfied: "Don't try your best, be sure."

The old woman smiled and said nothing.

The wooden door was opened, and an old man with an old complexion came out pushing a wheelchair, and a petite old woman was sitting in the wheelchair.

The breeze blew, blowing the hair of the two of them.

The years have left traces on them, but they can't take away the smiles on their faces.

The old man pushed the wheelchair to the beach, then sat down next to the old woman, cuddling each other, quietly watching the scenery in front of him.

Rolling waves, floating clouds.

The scenery that has lasted for decades made them feel extremely at ease.

"Honey."

The old woman suddenly spoke.

Old man: "Huh?"

The old lady: "The weather is really nice today."

Old man: "Yes, that's great."

The old woman smiled, her eyes were slightly blurred.

She knew that her life was coming to an end, but she didn't feel any sadness.

I have experienced many sad things in my life, but at the end of my life, I am lucky enough to have someone who will accompany me through my life.

But, there is still a little regret,
Because the right owner was not found, there is a sentence that has not been said.

hum!
A strange sound resounded from all directions, and a colorful glow appeared in the sky at some point.

In the rays of the sun, one could vaguely see a bone skeleton that was so huge that it could not be seen, and it was slowly rising into the sky.

"Emperor class!"

Binder muttered to himself.

He didn't recognize anything, but the moment he saw the bone phantom, there seemed to be a voice telling him that this strange yet familiar bone phantom was an emperor-level existence that only existed in legends.

In just a few breaths, the glow and bone phantom disappeared at the same time, and the world returned to calm.

Everything just now seemed to be just an illusion.

"thanks……"

The old woman closed her eyes, and her head fell powerlessly on the old man's shoulder, with a satisfied smile without regret on her face.

The old man held her hand, closed his eyes and leaned against her.

Then, his other hand hangs down feebly.

The sound of the waves and the sea breeze is sometimes passionate and sometimes calm, as if they are composing a movement together to see them off.
