() Called Ah Guang, Xia Feng sent this box of obsidian to Huang Xuanshan's handicraft workshop, ready to practice for the old man.

After explaining to Huang Xuanshan what he wanted to do, Xia Feng walked back from the Source Stone Processing Factory.

....

As he walked on the road, the cold air stimulated his senses.

The channel for processing raw materials has been successfully established, and Vina is very happy with the news, but now, he has one last thing to decide.

That is, whether he wants to help Silver Ash kill Ricky or not.

The family behind Ricky is a stumbling block for Silvergray to get involved in Urshas, and standing in Silverash's side, he can erase anything that stands in his way.

Xia Feng has long understood this truth, to put it bluntly, this is a psychological obstacle that must be crossed as a ruler, this world is so real that it is outrageous, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and if you take a wrong step, it will be an abyss.

Silver Gray has his belief that as long as his heart is strong enough, he will not be disturbed by superfluous emotions, and if you want to achieve a certain goal, but collide with other things in the process, there will be inevitable multiple choice questions.

Just like building a high-speed railway, you encounter a big mountain in the process, and because of some factors, it is impossible to make a detour, at this time, you have to make a choice, it is a must.

Digging mountains will destroy the natural environment, and will also affect the lives of people who depend on the mountains for their livelihood, and may even cause the death of some organisms in the process, but because of this, the high-speed rail will not be repaired?

Of course, you can choose not to build it, and the railway will end here, and for the sake of the right choice in your heart, the big deal is to give up all the previous efforts.

However, those who are truly determined to reach the end have already made a choice when they take the first step.

The reason why onlookers sigh at his cold-bloodedness, his ruthlessness, and even the darkness in his heart is because they are in a completely different position.

The cold-blooded ruthlessness of Silver Ash does not mean that he can't see the blood, but the choice he still makes after understanding the pros and cons, including the so-called good and evil.

Do I want it? That is impossible, and the onlookers want to see the king lead to the final throne on a sunny path, but none of the kings of the past can be free from blood and slaughter.

In the process, someone can spit on his cold-bloodedness, and later generations can sing the praises of his success, but no matter what, he must make a choice in the moment, even if it is not understood.

Xia Feng is very clear about this truth.

But he was not a king, much less silver.

.....

Back at the barbecue restaurant, Xia Feng leaned back on the chair and stared blankly at the ceiling, his fingers subconsciously stroking the scabbard of the Shenyue Knife.

"Pull the dog."

"What?"

Lapland pricked up his ears from the couch in the doorway.

Xia Feng's eyes were glazed and he muttered.

"You used to be a killer, you can kill someone quietly and not be found out by anyone afterwards, is it you?"

Lapland didn't answer immediately, because with her cleverness, she had already heard something else from Xia Feng's tone.

"Boss."

"Huh?"

"You're hesitating."

Fingers removed from the Shenyue Knife, and Xia Feng sighed.

"Forget it, when I didn't ask."

Life is a predetermined outcome guided by one choice after another, and every seemingly unrelated choice may make the ending 108,000 miles apart.

Looking at the situation, those results seem to be doomed, and the trajectory of life seems to have been written a long time ago.

But as a person who is traveling in the torrent of fate at this moment, every choice is unknown.

.....

In the following days, batches of natural source stone bushes converged in the small city of Hapi.

In northern Victoria, Casimir, Sammy, experienced smuggling experts use a variety of vehicles and methods of transport to deliver this priceless and deadly crystalline object into the hands of Summer Breeze.

Lao Pu watched batches of natural source stone bushes being transported, and his heart could be said to be very excited, as a craftsman in source stone processing, he had never seen so many source stones in his life.

The ships of the Haimen Gang have departed, and after several days of drifting at sea, when the ships are close to the west coast of Longmen, the raw materials of the Karaan trade will be loaded onto the ships and returned to Victoria.

So what Xia Feng needs to do now is to wait.

He had no intention of returning to the Royal Academy until the raw materials for Silver Ash arrived, and at the same time, Richie did not die, and Silver Ash would not leave Victoria.

.....

.....

In the afternoon of this day, Xia Feng sat in the barbecue restaurant and drank tea as usual.

The door was pushed open, and the cold air immediately blew in through the crack in the door, and Huang Xuanshan walked in holding a wooden box and wearing a heavy yellow cotton jacket.

Seeing Huang Xuanshan, Xia Feng behind the desk put down the teacup.

"Old man Huang, how many years have you been wearing that torn cotton jacket, if it's too heavy, throw it away, let Nancy buy you a down jacket."

Huang Xuanshan stomped off the snow on his shoes at the door and took off his cotton hat.

"No, I'm used to wearing this padded jacket and I don't want to change it."

"Okay then, tell Nancy what you need in the future."

"Hehe, okay."

After Huang Xuanshan walked in, he put the wooden box in his hand on the desk.

"Xia Feng, everything you want is done."

"Hey, it's pretty fast."

Xia Feng was in high spirits and hurriedly took the box in front of him.

Opening the box, he pulled out a delicate black badge from inside.

This badge is about the size of a thumb, the whole body is black and shiny, and the texture is full of texture, but because the workmanship is very fine, it is very light.

The texture of the badge is intricately carved, and the overall appearance is a slender black feather.

Seeing the novelty of the object, the turtle immediately came up.

"Big windmill, what is this?"

Xia Feng distinguished for a moment, and then handed the badge in his hand to the turtle.

"Na, it's yours, take care of it."

Taking the black badge in the shape of a feather, the turtle took it in his hand and touched it carefully.

"It's so beautiful!"

"Well, this is what I customized for Old Man Huang, it is a token of our Black Feather, you look carefully, there is a number on it."

This kind of badge is carved from precious obsidian, and there are dozens of identical badges in the box, and Huang Xuanshan's craftsmanship is so good that he has nothing to say.

Turtle Turtle took a closer look, and the front of her badge did have a carved number 002.

"I'm number 002?"

"Of course."

"Yay!"

Subsequently, Xia Feng found 003 and 004 again.

"Ifrit, come here, this 003 is yours, and 004 is Big Brother Ace's."

The number of badges is sufficient, all members of Black Feather have an exclusive numbered badge, Nancy is 005, Nanfeng is 006, Ah Guang is 007, Red Knife is 008, and Pulling Dog is 009.

Franca, Razer, Dr. Kane, Ansel, the Three Wolves Brothers, the Platts Brothers, etc., including Old Man Huang himself.

Xiao Yunye held the badge in his hand and said seriously.

"Xiao will definitely put this thing away."

After pulling the dog to get the badge, he didn't say anything, but carefully put it in a close place.

Ifrit took her number 003 and pouted.

"Yo-yo, does Hemmer have it?"

Xia Feng replied affirmatively.

"Yes, I have a badge for everyone who isn't here."

Xia Feng then stood up and placed a badge in Froststar's hand.

"Froststar, it's yours."

Froststar was a little surprised to hold the badge, and after a moment, she smiled with relief.

"Thank you."

Xia Feng gave the other four badges to Froststar, telling her that they were for the Snow Monster Squad.

The meaning of this badge is very clear to everyone, this is the hope that connects each other in this desperate world, the black wings, is the home they fought for.

...

At this time, the door of the barbecue restaurant was pushed open again, and the second dog next door poked his head in with curiosity.

"Ivlit, turtle, let's go, go for a snowball fight."

Turtle Turtle shook her head as she held her beloved little badge in both hands.

"No, it's too cold outside."

Ergou narrowed his eyes.

"Huh? What are you sharing? ”

....

At the desk.

Ergou stared at the delicate and handsome feather badge in the box and swallowed his saliva.

"Lao Xia, are we brothers?"

"No, just neighbors."

"But I treat you as a brother, and as a brother, I must also be a part of the Black Feather Grill, right?"

Xia Feng stared at Ergou expressionlessly.

"But you've never helped, and when I asked you to help carry the pots, you ran faster than a rabbit."

"Next time, I will definitely be on call in the future."

Looking at Ergou's favorite expression, Xia Feng sighed helplessly.

"Okay, okay, you will also be a part of Black Feather in the future, but you have to study hard and repay everyone with excellent grades."

"That's a must."

Subsequently, Xia Feng rummaged through the box for a long time, and finally found the first-to-last badge, 040.

"Now, this is yours."

Ergou excitedly took the badge.

"yes, No. 040, it looks like the status is very high, by the way, who is No. 041?"

"There is no 041 at the moment."

"Huh?"

....

....

....

A few years later.

Inside a vintage-style pub in South Victoria.

The afternoon is quiet and quiet, and the tavern is very quiet.

A tall man in a black trench coat sat at the bar, with a heavy sword behind his back.

"Boss, have another glass of osmanthus wine."

The boss behind the bar picked up the glass of wine he had pushed over and talked with a smile.

"Brother, our osmanthus wine here can't be sold for a few years, and few people in Victoria like to drink this, it seems that you are not from Victoria, right?"

The man in the trench coat has black hair and black eyes, and his eyebrows are full of heroism.

"I grew up in Victoria, but when I grew up, I preferred the wine of my hometown, even if I never went back, but I heard from my mother that this osmanthus wine is more fragrant the more it sinks."

The boss smiled and filled his glass.

"Brother, you are a connoisseur, this osmanthus wine is indeed the more years, the better."

After the second glass of wine, the man unbuttoned his trench coat and placed the sword behind his back on the bar.

On the hilt of his sword hung a black pendant, which was a black feather badge.

The boss was immediately attracted by this badge, which looked very precious.

"Yo, you're a good thing, this color is made of obsidian, tsk, this workmanship, master-level level."

The man in black drank to himself.

"The boss still knows handicrafts?"

"Yes, I used to run a jewelry store with a friend, but then it closed down during the Victorian Dark Ages, heh, that can't be helped, it's good to be alive."

Seeing that the man in black didn't say anything, the boss said tentatively.

"Brother, can I take a closer look?"

"Whatever you want."

The boss lifted the feather badge hanging from the hilt of his sword and examined it carefully.

"Well... Take a closer look, it's really a master-level craft, and obsidian is also the best of the best, hey, how can there be numbers on it? 040, what does this mean? ”

The man in black put down his glass.

After a long time, he whispered.

"Nothing, it should be a forgotten history, or maybe it's just a story that very few people know."

There were no customers in the afternoon at the tavern, and the owner immediately became interested.

"Hey, this deliberately seems to be good, brother, tell me about it, I invited you to this meal today."

"It's a long story, I don't know where to start."

The boss put a whole bottle of osmanthus wine on the bar.

"It's okay, I have time, if I'm not mistaken, your 040 should be numbered."

"Almost."

"Well, let's start from the beginning, like the number 001 of this black feather badge, who is he?"

....

The twilight sun was mild, shining through the tavern windows on the bar.

The man in black held the empty wine glass, his face nostalgic.

"The 001 of this badge...... is a person who can create miracles, perhaps, he does not belong to this world in the first place. ”

The boss could hear the melancholy in his voice.

"That man.... Is he gone? ”

"He...."

At this moment, the door of the tavern was pushed open.

A dignified, beautiful woman stood in the doorway, her hands on her hips, and shouted to the man sitting at the bar.

"Li Tianye, your mother called you home for dinner."

The man sitting at the bar glanced at the woman at the door gently, and then simply put away his sword.

"Boss, thank you for the wine, I'm going home."

"Huh? Then this wine money..."

The man's eyes were sly.

"You bought my story with wine, and as for the story, I will tell you later, the dark age of Victoria is over, and in this peaceful country, we have time, don't we."
