Chapter 750 749. Are you looking at me?

  【Congratulations on completing the task】

  【Settlement starts now】

   Drizzt saw the words appear in front of him. He looked up and saw that the wall clock pointed exactly to twelve noon.

   The sun is shining outside the window. In the waste capital, in the area where the rich and the poor meet, it is rare to have an afternoon without gunshots and slapsticks.

   He tapped on the table.

   Soon, a young man ran over, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

   "Mr. Drizzt, are you back?"

   Young Stone felt relieved when he saw Drizzt, and hurriedly arranged his clothes.

   "I'll go and make coffee for you."

  Stone hurried to the kitchen, boiled water, and ground coffee.

   Drizzt stood up and saw his busy figure, with an unreal feeling.

   But his decision has not changed.

   In the future, he will die, and Stone can become the chosen one and continue to walk in the silent place, and this young man will inherit his own will, which is enough for Drizzt.

   As he once discussed with Jost, if one person's life can save the world, then this is the perfect deal.

  Although, just as Lu Han and the others told Drizzt, Xuanjun's seal will continue to consume human life to maintain, Drizzt's behavior is no different from Jost who lit the original torch.

   But that's fine too.

   Drizzt took the coffee from Stone.

  The coffee was hot and had a strong aroma, and he hadn't had a similar drink for a long time.

   "By the way, I have something to tell you."

   Thinking of this, Drizzt spoke.

"what?"

  Stone thought Drizzt was a little strange, and he looked over.

  ". Forget it, I'll talk to you later."

   Drizzt thought for a while, there is still a few days before that fateful moment, so let the two of you enjoy the remaining time.

   He took a sip of coffee, with a little bit of acidity in the bitterness, like a gift of fate, which has always been marked with a price.

  Stone returns to the detective agency.

   He was a little uncomfortable, looked up and looked at the wall clock, it was twelve o'clock noon.

It is foggy outside the window, and industrial waste gas blocks the sky. In this location where the rich and the poor meet, sunlight has become a luxury. Compared with ten years ago, the pollution is more serious. The waste water pollutes the river and the air becomes full. Particles, the city seems to be no longer suitable for the poor to survive.

   He stood up, went to the kitchen, made a cup of coffee by himself, the bitter taste spread on the tip of his tongue, he stared out the window, looking at the city.

  Suddenly, Stone's nose was sore, and his whole body squatted down as if collapsing. A hoarse sound came out of his throat, but it was difficult to shed tears.

  Like a suffocated person, Stone's chest was constantly agitating and twitching, he couldn't say a word, he could only squat there quietly, waiting for his mood to calm down.

   For a long time, Stone didn't stand up until sunset, he still didn't cry, he just seemed to be many years older.

   opened the notebook, Stone picked up the pen, and began to record seriously.

   Back to reality, Shia looked around.

   When passing through the colorful black, Shia even had a thought, that is, when she returns to reality, will there be something completely different from before.

   But his house is still the same as before. The bookshelves are full of books that have been flipped through countless times, causing the covers to fade. There are bottles and jars in the cabinet, which are all kinds of snacks, honey, biscuits, dried meat and so on.

  The tabletop is parchment, on which some monster information is recorded.

   Shia saw that the parchment on the top was exactly the information related to 【Thousand Feet】.

  Perhaps, this mission is already in the destiny.

   She changed into light clothes and walked out of the room.

This is the Grey Tower, where the academy is located. Shia's mission this time is between the agent's vacation. After counting the days, in a few days, she will embark on a journey again, walking on the edge of the Black Forest, with those monsters. fight.

  On the square, people come and go, young mage apprentices walk in twos and threes, and they have heated discussions about magic-related issues. Through the magic net, magic has become quite popular in this era.

   But no one noticed the grey tower.

   Even Shia was only amazed by the grandeur of the tower when she entered the school. For many years after that, she used it as a background and never paid more attention to it.

   But now, Shia sighed a little when she saw the blazing pale flames.

   A familiar friend is being burned on it. This torture has lasted for thousands of years and will continue forever.

   Recovering her consciousness from the long agony, Shia suddenly noticed that there were several girls looking at her.

   "Is that Miss Quillis?"

   The other party asked timidly, holding a heavy book in his arms.

   "Yes, that's right."

   Shia answered indifferently, in the Kingdom of Night, she is like this most of the time.

   "Too, great, I'm a loyal reader of yours, in fact, I'm reading your book right now."

   The girl exclaimed excitedly, and came to Shia with her companion, showing the cover of the book in her hand.

   "Investigation of Alienation of Monsters".

This is a book compiled from the thesis left by Shia. It draws on some of what she saw in foreign countries, and analyzes the characteristics of common monsters in the country of night, and the process of alienation. .

   "Can you sign for me?"

   The other party spread the book to the title page and handed it to Shia.

   Shia simply signed her name and returned it to the other party.

   "Ms. Kuvenris, do you plan to write a new book? I think your work, um, has a very unique idea and a different understanding of the world. I'm looking forward to it!"

   The other party asked again.

   "No, not yet."

   replied habitually, Shia saw the gray tower again, she thought about it, and changed her mouth.

   "If there is, it may be research on the Leyline."

   "Magic Web?"

   Hearing Shia's words, her little fans didn't quite understand. For these young people, the magic net is a matter of course, just like the sun and the blood moon, they don't know what it is to study.

   Shia said goodbye to them and continued walking towards the gray tower.

  This tower is just like when it was just built, full of features that are incompatible with the traditional aesthetics of the Night Kingdom. Those damaged gaps on the tower are obviously damaged by that magic tide.

Below the    Gray Tower is the large library of the academy. Only mages of a certain level can enter. Above, it is an absolute restricted area.

   Now Shia clearly understood that it was Jost who was constantly being burned.

   "Jost, are you looking at me?"

   she whispered softly.

  The torch of the gray tower, shining on the earth, as always.
