Chapter 618: Departure to the Holy Rune Temple
Xiao Tiannan's immortal puppet has been refined, and the Twilight Cloud Dense Forest has also been explored.
According to the plan, Xiao Tiannan should go to the Holy Rune Hall to see the source of the rune path.
In fact, when Xiao Tiannan went to Heavenly Court, his interest in the origin of the Dao had weakened a lot.
However, Xiao Tiannan still wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to the temple and see if there was a chance to take the spaceship away from the temple in advance.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tiannan couldn't help but glance at the small handful of rabbit fur on the back of his right hand that others couldn't see.
He only reacted now, why didn't he ask Lepus in passing to see if it could send him back to Earth directly?
If he could, he might be able to take Chu Rou and Xu Shaobai to Heaven again.
It's a pity that at that time, he was thinking about the secret of Heavenly Court's fall and shattering back then, as well as a large number of extraordinarily powerful magic weapons, and he didn't expect this stubble at all.
Night.
Xiao Tiannan, Chu Rou, Yuwen Yanbo, and Xu Shaobai got together.
After dinner, Xiao Tiannan talked to Chu Rou and the three of them about going to the Holy Rune Hall.
Xiao Tiannan said: "This time I went to the Holy Rune Hall mainly to find an opportunity to enter the temple and see if I could get Chu Rou's spaceship in advance."
However, there is also a need for someone to sit here in Agni City, so this time I plan to go with Chu Rou and me.
If there's a chance to leave, or if we get a ship, I'll meet you right away. ”
Yuwen Yanbo and Xu Shaobai nodded together, and neither of them had any opinions on Xiao Tiannan's arrangement.
Xu Shaobai said: "I found that there have been a lot of suspicious appearances outside the City Lord's Mansion recently, I guess it is very likely that the Ming King sent spies to keep an eye on us, should I take action to deal with them?"
Xiao Tiannan shook his head and said, "It's normal for King Ming to send spies to keep an eye on us, and King Ren and King Mad should also send spies."
Just let them keep an eye on it, anyway, we are above board, and there is nothing to fear them knowing.
Tomorrow you will find a way to let the spies know that I am ready to leave for the Temple of Talismans.
If there were people from the Holy King among those spies, maybe the Holy King would send someone to woo me?
Won't I be able to enter the temple in the right way?"
After listening to Xiao Tiannan's words, Yuwen Yanbo couldn't help but pour cold water and said: "If it's just King Ming's spies, it should be fine, but if King Ren, the Mad King, and the Holy King also send spies."
They know about your departure to the Temple of the Holy Runes, and perhaps their choice is not to win you over, but to get rid of you directly in the middle of the way.
So to be on the safe side, I think it's better to keep a low profile. ”
"It's fine. Xiao Tiannan shook his head and smiled: "Get rid of a city lord of Agni City, and soon there will be a new city lord in Agni City, which doesn't mean much to King Ren and King Mad King."
But if they buy off the lord of the city of Fire, the city of fire can hide a strange army for them.
When the time comes, the soldiers and horses of the King of Benevolence and the Mad King will quickly converge from the City of Fire and the soldiers and horses of the Holy King, and maybe the King of Ming will be caught off guard at that time.
So buying me is their best choice. ”
"Then are you going to let them buy it?" Chu Rou asked with interest.
Xiao Tiannan smiled and said: "I'm not stupid, of course I'm waiting for the price to sell, and then I'll follow whoever offers the highest price." ”
After Chu Rou, Xu Shaobai, and Yuwen Yanbo listened to Xiao Tiannan's words, they all couldn't help laughing.
People who can say mercenary so justifiably, I'm afraid there are not many people in the world except Xiao Tiannan.
However, Xiao Tiannan did have a reasonable reason, after all, he was not from the Spirit Realm Continent at all.
The Spirit Mirror Continent is now extremely hostile to the earth, and after their internal unification, maybe the next step will be to attack the earth.
For future enemies, Xiao Tiannan naturally doesn't care about the word loyalty.
The night passed.
Early the next morning, Xiao Tiannan came to Long Yan Pavilion and explained to him that he was going to leave for the Holy Rune Palace.
Long Yanting didn't expect Xiao Tiannan to be ready to leave so soon, he was a little excited, and a little at a loss said: "General, I still have a lot to deal with in the government affairs of Agni City, if you set off now, I'm afraid I'll ......"
Xiao Tiannan said with a smile: "It's okay, you can hand over the government affairs of Agni City to General Xu for the time being." When we get back from the Temple of Runes, you can take over and continue to deal with it.
Although General Xu's ability to handle government affairs is not as good as yours, it should not be a problem to help you watch it for a few days. ”
When Long Yanting heard Xiao Tiannan say this, he immediately saluted and responded, "Yes! Thank you for taking care of the general." ”
"Lord Long is polite. Xiao Tiannan stretched out his hand and helped Long Yanting to say.
Long Yanting spent the morning handing over government affairs in Flame City with Xu Shaobai, and then Xiao Tiannan, Chu Rou, Long Yanting, plus a personal guard of twenty people set off from Flame City and headed for the Holy Rune Palace.
Xiao Tiannan did not ride his eight-winged Blue Flame Dragon this time, but casually picked a nine-tailed Heavenly Moon Wolf and rode side by side with Chu Rou.
Not long after they left Agni City, the spies stationed here by various forces in Agni City immediately notified their masters by various means.
Nioh Castle.
The temple of the Holy Dynasty and the three royal cities are like a tripod.
The temple is the body, and the three kings want to defend the temple together with the three feet of the tripod.
In the past, although the territories of the three royal cities had borders with each other, they rarely moved around each other.
However, since the Mad King's Tianyu City was forcibly captured by King Ming, now the Mad King is basically hugging Nioh.
After all, in the battle of Heavenly Reputation City, Nioh was the only one who helped the mad king.
Among the three kings, Nioh's reputation is the one most consistent with his royal name.
He was diligent in his administration and loved the people, and he was deeply loved by the people in his territory.
He paid attention to the people's livelihood, and among the three kings, the territory that originally belonged to him alone did not have high-value minerals and large dense forests with many wild beasts, but he was the richest of the three kings.
All this is due to his emphasis on commercial trade, and his ability to encourage ordinary people to cultivate spiritual wisdom and raise wild beasts.
Therefore, the prosperity and liveliness of Niwang City, as well as its economy and humanities, are not at all comparable to that of Ming King City and Mad King City.
But among the three kings, Nioh's private palace was the most unpretentious.
The entire palace looks like an impregnable fortress on the outside, but on the inside, it looks like a Suzhou garden.
There are many rockeries and lakes, exotic flowers and plants, but there are no luxurious palaces, and the beauties are like clouds.
By the shore of the meditation lake, Nioh holds a green bamboo fishing rod and fishes leisurely.
Dressed in a blue cloth robe, he doesn't look like Nioh above ten thousand people under one person, but more like a teacher in a private school.
Soon Nioh's fishing rod was raised, and a blue-scaled goldfin was caught by Nioh.
Nioh removed the hook for the blue-scaled goldfin and threw it back into the lake, then re-baited the hook and began fishing.
The mad king, who was sitting next to Nioh, was obviously a little impatient, and from time to time he pulled up his fishing rod to take a look, and when he saw that no fish had been hooked, he took a sip of wine.
Finally, the Mad King couldn't help but drop the fishing rod in his hand and said to King Ren: "Brother Wang, I believe you have also received the news."
What should we do next, you have to say.
The strategic significance of the Fire City to us is extraordinary, and whether you and my soldiers and horses can quickly join forces is very important to the Fire City.
Now the boy who captured my city of Fire has entered the Heavenly Realm.
As long as you say a word, I will immediately send someone to kill that kid, and then order all the troops and horses to take back the city of fire!"
Nioh glanced at the Mad King, he shook his head with a smile and said, "Heavenly Madness, although your king name is a 'mad' word, but I remember that you are not usually an acute child, why do you seem to have serious signs of taking the name of 'Mad King' on the ground recently?"
Think about it, if we really send someone to kill that young man named Xiao Tiannan, what will happen next?"
"What's going on?" asked the Mad King, somewhat incomprehensibly.
Nioh smiled, "Next, Wentian will send a large number of killers to constantly attack and kill the powerful people around us.
Wentian was originally running the Polar Day Gate, and assassination and ambush were their forte.
He was originally forced by a tacit balance between us, so he didn't use the killers of the Polar Day Gate to carry out assassinations.
Now, if we take the initiative to break this tacit balance, it will be tantamount to giving him a reason to use the Polar Sun Gate.
In addition, you said that you should gather your troops and horses to retake the city of fire, and you are too optimistic about this.
Why did he dare to let this young man named Xiao Tiannan leave Agni City?
Because he knew that even if Xiao Tiannan left, Agni City would not lose.
After all, not far from Agni City, there are still a large number of soldiers and horses in Wentian. ”
Nioh said this, and the mad king's face twitched.
He knew where the large number of soldiers and horses that Nioh had spoken of were stationed.
It was the Heavenly Reputation City he had just lost.
The Mad King is not as good at running his territory and taking care of internal affairs as Nioh.
He used to rely on the spiritual crystal rough stone mine of Tianyu City to support it, but now that Tianyu City is gone, the Mad King's economic resources have suddenly decreased by more than seventy percent.
Although for the time being, he can barely support himself with his previous savings, but if this situation continues for another month or two, he will really start borrowing money to get by.
This is also the reason why the mad king is so impatient, after all, he is the one who loses his economic lifeline, not Nioh, who is in the mood to fish and play.
The mad king came to Nioh this time, in addition to discussing how to deal with Xiao Tiannan, he also had the purpose of borrowing money.
So he didn't dare to have the slightest disrespect for Nioh, and after being educated by Nioh, he could only forcibly ask Nioh: "Brother Wang, then what do you say we should do with this Xiao Tiannan?
If this is the case, I am afraid that people outside will think that we are afraid of Xuanyuan Wentian, and the development of the situation will be even more unfavorable to us. ”
Nioh smiled: "I sent someone to check, this Xiao Tiannan is an ordinary young man who came to the Holy Realm by chance from the Mortal Realm.
He came from a poor background, and to be able to have today's achievements can be regarded as lucky.
I like people who are blessed by luck, let's see if we can buy him.
This man has a price, as long as we are willing to give benefits, we are not afraid that he will not be of use to us. ”
