A fairly spacious woodland is surrounded by trees and grass with traces of cleaning.
There is a bonfire in the woodland that is not bright, let alone vigorous. Someone is sitting by the fire and slowly wiping a dagger.
This is a man who looks very young. His hair is combed back to reveal a full and smooth forehead.
He has a bright red flame pattern on his forehead, which is more like some kind of tattoo than a rank coat of arms.
The man is wearing a long dark purple dress with a necklace and a small sword hanging from his neck.
The small sword with the light of fire is looming.
The footsteps sounded a rough voice and said, "Look, I am early."
The purple man stopped to wipe the dagger and turned to look at the line of sight with a smile. "Without it, people will arrive soon. Do you want to come over and bake the fire together?"
"no need"
In the firelight, this is a rough man with thick hair like steel wire and heavy eyebrows. He wears a fur jacket casually without wearing armor and carries a heavy weapon in his hand.
It’s a grip with palm width and a blade body that almost drives a man away. kopis’s blade is huge, and it has several small cracks in his hair.
Not far from the fire, he stopped and reversed. kopis inserted himself into the ground, sat with his back against the blade and showed his white teeth. He reported his name "I am an iron lion"
The purple man smiled warmly. "I know the person in charge of this operation. I have read everyone’s information."
Claiming to be an iron lion, the big fellow pulled out his ear with his tail finger. "It’s not fair. I have already signed up, and you should do the same."
"I’ll introduce myself when everyone is here, so it’s convenient."
As soon as the voice fell, the grass shook and the sound started, and then a slender, unconfident and slightly timid voice asked, "Is this … is this the’ shadow’ meeting point? Am I going the right way? "
The second person who arrived at the meeting place was a girl with short black hair, round earrings on her left ear and a small sword hanging down.
Clever as a girl next door with a confused expression, she cringed at the woodland with a dark copper rod.
"Miss Kurome is right here." The person in charge quickly got up and smiled.
The girl called’ Kurome’ was relieved to sit in the woodland with a copper staff. "Great, I’m lost again."
"It’s so far."
A rambling sound sounded from the jungle not far away, and a man of medium height came out a moment later.
Black long hair and white cloth are tied into a braid, and a small sword is wrapped around the end of the cloth.
The yawning man’s eyes are listless and sloppy, and he hasn’t cleaned up for many days.
It’s worrying that a sword will fall off at any time by casually crossing the shoulder armor.
While walking with a bottle in the other hand, I took a few sips and said with a little complaining tone, "Can you not have a meeting so far away? It’s very troublesome for me to come here."
"I’ll pay attention to Mr. Good Sword Wind." The person in charge smiled reluctantly.
Participants arrived one after another. These people were dressed strangely, and they didn’t look like residents of Qingtianbao.
A freak with a cloth wrapped around his body and smelling of medicine; There are also glamorous ladies dressed in costumes as if going to the banquet; And strange people with weird makeup on their faces and needles in their heads …
So a figure with a half-length cloak, ancient armor and a grimace mask quietly appeared in this group of weirdos, which was less noticeable.
After all, there are as many eccentric people as there are here.
"Mr. Ghost Face is here, so let me count …" The person in charge really put out his finger and counted them one by one. "Thirteen, fourteen plus me, well, fifteen people are here."
"Then our’ shadow’ staff will be official for the first time!"
The person in charge spread out his hands and bowed slightly to everyone. "First of all, I introduce myself. I am the person in charge of the’ Shadow’ of Qingtianbao. You can call me … fleeting time."
"Of course, what we do is an alias or a code name. This is not my original name, but what does it matter to us?"
The person in charge of the self-proclaimed’ fleeting time’ opened his arms and smiled as if he wanted to hug something, saying, "As you can see, our organization is like its name, it is like an invisible shadow."
As a member of it, we also abide by the principle of keeping a low profile and leaving no trace, so the world knows that there are very few of us.
"But now I can tell you that in the near future, our’ shadow’ will be famous in all directions, and you are destined to be one of this strange thing!"
The woodland is quiet.
In the face of fleeting time, some people in the impassioned lecture hall did not applaud or cheer, and their eyes were rarely full of responsible people.
The man called Jian Feng yawned and said, "Can you get to the point? I’m not here to listen to your speech."
"Of course, of course"
We have a good temper and smile in response to "this time, Qingtianbao has released a secret realm to explore. This secret realm is really a large crevice, and every new crevice is a natural treasure house."
"We are very interested in the inverse boundary of each number, especially the cracks."
"It’s a good thing to explore the secret world, but it’s a pity that the position of Qingtianbao is too remote. We organize most of the backbone and elite activities in the mainland."
"that’s why we have a chance to be here. let’s do a good job. if we can make some contribution to the organization in this exploration, maybe you will have a chance to get rid of the status of’ supernumerary members’ and become’ core members’ of our organization!"
Kurome raised his hand and asked, "What are the benefits of being a’ core member’?"
Time flies and laughs and answers, "The benefits are much more. Miss Kurome’s core members will be cultivated by the organization and master a greater limit. They can mobilize’ extra members’ at will."
"If you can form an’ elite’ or even a’ cadre’, then you will have a fortress or a regional situation!"
Kurome let go of his hand and muttered, "It seems to be quite chatting."
Bang bang bang—
The iron lion slammed into the woodland and made a muffled noise to attract attention. "So this organization is for us?"
"There are two"
Time flies and puts up two fingers and smiles. "One is to explore the secret world as much as possible to find clues related to the’ Twilight Slate’. If you find the’ Twilight Slate’, although the probability is very low, if you find it, you will directly become a cadre and have the opportunity to become a member of the’ Twelve Branches’!"
The iron lion showed a dull expression. "Directly becoming a cadre has the opportunity to become a member of the’ Twelve Branches’? What the hell is this’ dusk slate’? "
Time flies and smiles. "This can tell you that’ Twilight Slate’ is the biggest secret of the organization and I can’t just disclose its information. I only know this name."
The woman in full dress is holding a black umbrella, which is full of magnetism and makes people think. "But this is very contradictory. We don’t even know what the’ Twilight Slate’ looks like. If we can find clues, let alone find the slate."
