Whoosh!
A somewhat chilly sea breeze swept swiftly across Lotus Island.
The surface of an Aquaculture Lake instantly heaved with layer upon layer of waves.
The deep, dusky-yellow sky and the broad pale-blue lake, set against the backdrop of an endless ocean and dotted with Floating Log Boats on the water.
The scene.
Was like a moving painting.
By the lake.
Two Mystic Adepts in Silver Line Black Robes stood on the road circling the lake, pausing to admire the view without speaking for quite some time.
Just yesterday.
The thirty war zones under the General Overseer Hall had all dispatched large contingents of personnel to the Eastern Li War Zone at the Grand General Overseer's request.
These two Mystic Adepts were among them.
After a while.
Whoosh!
An even stronger sea breeze swept past.
The hems of their black robes fluttered loudly in the wind.
One of them, Tall Mystic Master, gazed at the smiling crew aboard the Floating Log Boats with a wistful expression. "The Eastern Li War Zone really is different."
He felt that most civilians here wore optimistic smiles, whereas civilians in his own war zone often appeared tense and uneasy.
That one small detail alone was enough to reveal many things.
Round-Faced Mystic Master beside him nodded in agreement. "Yeah!"
However, his focus was clearly elsewhere. "The War Fortress here is so lively."
When the two had arrived in the Eastern Li War Zone yesterday, they had been astonished to discover that there was actually a Night Market here.
From the time workers got off at the various factories until nine o'clock at night, the Night Market streets remained packed with people and bustling with activity.
Round-Faced Mystic Master had been greatly shocked by this.
Was this really a war zone? Not some Little Spirit
