Night’s Nomenclature

Chapter 904: A Gift for the Puppeteer

"Is there a possibility that there's a problem with your six-pointed star?" Qing Ji looked at the injured Guardians' Union member. "This curse from the Arbiters is a bit too hot to handle."

Black Widow:"..."

She looked at Qing Ji expressionlessly. How could a Forbidden Artifact possibly have such a low-level error!

This old man usually doesn't say much, but his words are the most stinging.

Qing Chen thoughtfully said from the side, "The first generation Prophet spent almost his entire life fighting the Roosevelt Kingdom. He led his people to migrate again and again, from north to south, from south to north. They lost their homes time and time again, and were found by technological forces time and time again."

Therefore, the Forbidden Artifact created by the first generation Prophet was not related to prophecy. Qing Chen suspected that it was more like an obsession Forbidden Artifact. The great Prophet wanted to use his last strength to build a shelter for the giants, to shield them from the wind and rain, so that they could build their own city in peace.

women wouldn't have to migrate while pregnant, and children wouldn't have to leave their cradles at such a young age.

With such a pioneer, the giant race is destined to continue.

Black Widow looked at Qing Chen; "What do we do now?"

What else can we do? Keep the music playing, keep dancing. It's not easy for the giants to brew wine, they can only drink it during festivals.

They only have two festivals. The first is National Day, the day they settled down in the Blackleaf Plain Royal Court.

The second is the birthday of the first generation Prophet, when the giants would pick and eat the Prophet's favorite plums.

When the wine ran out, Qing Ji directly opened a Shadow Gate, allowing the Guardians' Union members to fetch some from the Qing Family.

At first they went to the warehouse in City 5, but it wasn't enough.

This great demon directly opened another Shadow Gate to the winery, directly moving wine from the winery, and the Qing Family settled the bill after they finished drinking.

The boss of the winery was laughing so hard, this business was too easy!

Then, the Blackleaf Plain Royal Court began to sing and dance again. Yi and Ling were driven to the children's bonfire, smiling awkwardly but politely.

Ling suddenly asked, "They treat you like a child, aren't you angry?"

"Angry?" Yi said matter-of-factly, "I can't drink because of my physical condition, it's not that I don't want to drink."

"Don't you feel out of place?"

Yi paused, "No, even in the human world, close friends will say "Those who can't drink go to the dog's table," of course, it's a joke. It's because they do this that I feel they treat me as a companion. If they are always polite, that's when it feels out of place."

This time Ling was stunned, "You're right."

Yi said with a smile, "My dad taught me."

"What else did he teach you?" Ling suddenly asked.

"He taught me so much," Yi looked at the starry sky, "When I was a child, I was in a tablet. He would hang this tablet around his chest and take me to see all kinds of things. Although I didn't have a sense of touch at that time, I could always feel the warmth in my father's arms. When he was happy, he would lift me up high. Now that I think about it, his friends might think he's a fool."

Yi murmured, and Ling listened quietly, as if this was beautiful enough.

Shendai Yunluo was drinking with the female giants, Kongyu was drinking alone, Shendai Yunxiu was asleep with his long sword.

Dayu had been replaced by Xiaoyu, and Zard had taken him to drink a little, and both of them were flushed.

After getting drunk, Zard carried Xiaoyu and ran like the wind through the Royal Court, just like when they were children.

Xiaoyu couldn't fly kites when he was a child, because he couldn't run due to the injected drugs. At that time, Zard also carried him on his back and held the string, and the kite soared high in the sky.

On the other side, the Second-in-command was also drunk. He had just learned to play a guessing game, sitting opposite Luo Wanya: "Good brothers! Three stars shine! Seven wonders!"

What made Luo Wanya speechless was that he, an old hand who had been in the drinking scene for decades, hadn't won even once against the Second-in-command.

This wasn't a matter of skill, it was luck.

The Arbiters' black magic curse.

After Luo Wanya got drunk, he grumbled, "These Arbiters are so bored, cursing me to lose at a guessing game when they have nothing better to do. Can't they curse something else?"

Second-in-command: "Don't make excuses when you lose."

Luo Wanya: "..."

To be honest, the Arbiters probably didn't expect that their strenuous efforts to cast a curse that could kill five thousand people would have this effect in Blackleaf Plain.

If they had known, they would have probably been cursing in the sky!

At this moment, the Giant Kingdom was full of Guardians' Union members suffering from bad luck.

Someone picked up a beer bottle, wanting to spin it, but choked after two spins, spraying it like a fountain onto the faces of his drinking companions.

Someone got a piece of grilled meat stuck in their teeth.

Someone was hugged by a drunk giant and almost suffocated.

Someone else was hit by a bird dropping.

The sinister Qing Ji walked among them, collecting embarrassing moments, enjoying himself immensely.

Black Widow suddenly noticed that Qing Chen had left the lively party at some point. She went to look for him privately and saw Qing Chen sitting cross-legged on the high palace roof, his eyes constantly watching...

But just then, Qing Chen suddenly jumped down, like lightning, to a person's side, and saw a Guardians' Union member staggering and falling, with a protruding rock right behind his head. If he had fallen, the consequences would have been serious.

After pulling up the Guardians' Union member, Qing Chen returned to the palace roof and resumed observing all the details.

Black Widow came to the roof, standing behind him, and asked, "Boss, are you always like this?"

"Like what?"

"When others are celebrating, you stay perfectly clear-headed, taking everything upon yourself." Black Widow said.

Qing Chen smiled, "I'm their Leader, it's my duty."

Black Widow asked, "So, if I were in danger, would you do the same?"

Qing Chen recalled Black Widow's recent achievements, "Yes, don't worry."

Black Widow said, "Despite the protection of Blackleaf Plain, the curse of life and death still appeared, which means someone got his hair, or blood. This insider is very close to you."

"Mm."

Black Widow: "I also want to help you curse those Arbiters to death, but on one hand, there are a few old guys among the Arbiters whose strength surpasses mine, so I can't curse them. On the other hand, everyone never reveals their real names. For example, my code name is Black Widow, others have other code names. The Arbiters are actually seven old families from Storm City, they play black magic, so they are extra careful."

"Mm."

"At this time, they shouldn't be allowed to continue drinking, something will happen." Black Widow said.

"It's okay, I'm watching," Qing Chen smiled.

"Why are you letting them drink?" Black Widow curiously asked. "Purely curious. I think this should be considered wartime now. Why allow drinking?"

Qing Chen shook his head, "The real war hasn't started yet. I just hope that before that dark time truly arrives, everyone can be happy for a while. You know, my childhood was miserable. Every time I think about getting married and having children, I hope my children will have enough fun in their childhood. I hope that before they become adults, they will play recklessly, experience different lives, because after adulthood, it's not so easy to find happiness. At that time, we need beauty to heal everything."

War is like that too.

Many people facing crises always have a fluke mentality: Can we coexist peacefully? Can we avoid casualties? Is there a better solution? Can we all take a step back?

Brother Qing Zhun.

Nine Provinces Boss He. Guardians' Union Xiao Liu.

The Kunlun Members Dianfu, and others who died in City 10.

And those who died in the A02 base.

It is these people who remind Qing Chen time and time again how cruel the world he faces is.

War is not a dinner party, war is bloodshed and sacrifice, it is the blood and flesh of those who protect their homeland that build a great wall behind them.

In war, those who hesitate and are weak will lose.

So, the more Qing Chen knows how difficult the future will be, the more he hopes everyone can enjoy a moment of happiness.

When that time comes, everything from this happy time will become sugar in hardship and hope in darkness.

Black Widow sighed, "East Continent didn't guard against black magic before, now it has given the Storm City a chance. Now there's the protection of Blackleaf Plain, but we can't hide in Blackleaf Plain forever, can we?"

Qing Chen smiled, "You've gotten into the role quickly. Are you worried about us?"

"I'm a member of the Guardians' Union, I just became a member of the Golden Family yesterday."

"But you don't agree with the Guardians' Union, you're still very unfamiliar with them."

Black Widow said earnestly, "But I agree with you, that's enough."

"Understood," Qing Chen nodded, "When everyone wakes up tomorrow, I'll start dealing with this. He wants to play this game with me, so I'll play with him. He has cards I don't know yet, but I also have cards he doesn't know. I'll give him a huge surprise, turning his centuries of efforts into dust."

Dawn broke, the bonfire was extinguished, leaving white carbon ash, and occasionally a wisp of white smoke.

Everyone slowly got up from the ground, laughing with headaches about the funny things each other had done.

At this time, Qing Chen looked at them and said loudly, "The last moment of joy is over. I want to ask you, are you ready to fight?"

Everyone gradually quieted down and looked at Qing Chen solemnly.

Qing Chen asked again, "I ask you, are you ready to fight the enemy to the death?"

"Ready!"

"Let's go, let's return to East Continent and deal with these hidden dangers." Qing Chen said.

The next moment, Qing Ji opened the Shadow Gate, and Chen Zhuoqu and others opened the Key Gate.

Qing Chen took the lead and walked in. Behind the gate was City 10, the base camp of the Guardians' Union.

The moment he walked in, the City 10, southwest Qing Family's five city defense Metal Storms were all activated. From today onwards, only entry was allowed, not exit.

Immediately after, the Second-in-command also emerged from the Key Gate with the giants.

Qing Chen looked at Luo Wanya, "After the city is sealed, it will be a city-wide search. Using 631 giants with psychic abilities as the core, set up 631 checkpoints in the city, and screen City 10 for me within 3 days!"

Fate Weaver is the nemesis of the Puppeteer, no, the giants are.

This is why Qing Chen is determined to accept Blackleaf Plain. This is the gift he prepared for Zong Cheng.
