Section 97 The Emperor's Capital 2

"That, Master Lu Wu," Thomas slammed on the gas. This jeep is a Wrangler worth more than 500,000 yuan, which is the best for running this kind of wilderness road. To be clear, Thomas didn't drive without a license – he actually had a driver's license. Although Lu Wu knows that foreigners rely on a driver's license is actually far easier than the Chinese test, it is said that they can pass the test as long as they take one test...... But at the end of the day, this old man has only been in China for a few days. There must be some particular reason. "Are we really just going that way?"

The road they are going to take, as mentioned earlier, is just an old road that can be passed by travelers. Of course, the concept of the "old road" is completely different from the modern standard road. The kind is not so much a road as a barely pedestrian-friendly route in the mountains. Over the course of thousands of years, it was determined by the adventures of merchants, hunters, and the like through the surveys of travelers in the mountains. Of course, times have changed. In the past, the few nomadic tribes in the mountains may have used this dangerous road to communicate with the outside world, but now there are safer routes. Originally, there were not many people who took this path, and now there are even fewer people who take this path.

The road may be short on the map, but it is long under the feet of a person, and it will not be completed in a day. In addition, due to the unpredictable microclimate in the mountains, ice and snow weather occur from time to time. In fact, ice and snow are secondary, the key is that usually ice and snow are accompanied by strong winds.

It's not the kind of winds that blow umbrellas in the city, but in the real sense, winds that exceed level 8 or more. Walking for people or animals can be extremely difficult or even impossible. In this case, you have to wait for the wind and snow to end before you can move on. So once you notice signs of wind and snow, the only way to do so is to retreat to a few safe places along the road where you can rest and take shelter from the snow. One of them, of course, is the ruins of the ancient temple.

This is the root cause of the previous distress of the team of travelers. However, at least for the time being, because of the lessons of their distress, no one is on this road for the time being.

Lu Wu had no interest in going down the road from beginning to end, and his plan was much simpler. The pioneer vehicle arrives at a location that is closest to the destination airline. Then abandon the car and climb the mountain. Although the closest air is there, the fact that you have to climb a mountain in a straight line is a huge challenge that is not something that ordinary people can accomplish. But it's not a problem for Amber, who can fly directly, and Lu Go, who can directly turn into a little Superman with the power of the ring.

As for Thomas, he carries climbing tools with him – of course it doesn't matter whether he climbs or not. In fact, Lu Wu didn't even need to go over, Amber just found a chance to go directly to see it by flying. The ability of warlocks to fly by their own magic alone is actually very weak, they are not fast and they are not flexible enough, and they must say that they are not even as fast as running on the ground. But this power allows them to easily navigate a variety of complex terrains.

And the reason why they drive is just to shorten the journey ahead. Of course, from another point of view, it is also to prepare for the future transportation of the god seat.

I don't know how much the stone (it should be stony?) throne weighs. If the weight is under certain conditions, the amber can even be carried by itself. After all, it's stone, and if you can get it to the side of the road, then it's not hard to get a truck to carry it away.

All in all, at least in theory, it was a safe trip without any risks. It must be said that there is a risk factor, and that is a car accident. In such treacherous terrain, the risk of a car accident can be significant. Of course, the master has already judged that Thomas has an impossible car accident, and it is impossible to have a car accident in this life - although Lu Wu does not fully agree with the master's opinion. But since it was an open-top jeep, he could at least be sure that no matter what kind of accident it was, at least he had a good degree of certainty that he would be safe.

Of course, Amber didn't need to worry about him at all. No matter what kind of car accident it is impossible to put amber how.

Thomas stopped the car and took a break.

It's a rolling grassland. The surrounding air is dry, cool, and fresh, and inhaling into the lungs gives a cool and refreshing feeling. At the foot are clusters of never-before-seen but rather luxuriant plants. This season is not the right season to travel, so they came all the way to the vast sky, and they didn't see a single person or car.

"It's a good feeling of emptiness, feeling like the whole world is in my hands. Thomas exclaimed.

Lu Wu also got out of the car and walked beside Thomas. Although he will be skeptical of the master's judgment, speaking of which, there have indeed been no accidents along the way. There were no breakdowns, and there were certainly no accidents such as a fuel tank fire or a car crashing headlong into a deep pit and flying off a cliff.

Thomas took out his phone and looked at it slightly. Of course, this ghost place is a no-man's land, and even China Mobile cannot cover the signal to this kind of place. So mobile phones are now rubbish.

"Master, why are you wearing headphones?"

Lu Wu took off the Bluetooth headset and put it in Thomas's ear. There was sound in the headphones, it was a Chopin piano piece, and the melody was beautiful and movingβ€”but it was just a piece. It's very common to play this kind of music on your mobile phone, or to listen to music on your mobile phone in modern times.

Of course, other things, such as the fact that the phone never needs to be charged or something, are not common. But this kind of thing is usually relatively private, and normal people can't estimate how much other people's mobile phone batteries are left. After all, the power consumption of mobile phones varies greatly in different states.

"Why are you asking this. Lu Wu put the Bluetooth headset back in his ear. From the beginning to the present, no one has ever questioned his Bluetooth headphones. Or rather, there's really nothing to doubt about it. Even if there is no signal in this place, modern mobile phones are not the kind of things of the last century that have no purpose other than to make calls. Today's mobile phones are not so much mobile phones as computers. It has plenty of storage space to do a lot of things, and of course the most common use for it is to listen to music.

"I don't know, I just think ......," Thomas replied thoughtfully. "I somehow think there's something wrong with this thing. He scratched his hair. "Master, in fact, my intuition is very sharp, and I should have the talent for cultivation. Thomas's words make it clear that he is still obsessed.

Lu Wu smiled. His supernatural abilities were not acquired through cultivation, and the method that Thomas asked him to cultivate was entirely to play the harp to the ox. Don't say that Lu Wu refuses, even if he is, he can't teach others. But since Thomas said so, he also had to admit that the other party's intuition was indeed sharp. "So what's wrong with it?" he asked casually.

Thomas hesitated, perhaps thinking he would be ridiculed for speaking out, but he finally said it. He pointed to the sky in the distance. "That. ”

Lu Wu looked at the position of Thomas's finger and saw that Thomas was referring to a bird flying in the air, judging from that size and movement, it should be some kind of eagle.

If in the city, seeing this bird is really a bit of a problem. But what kind of place is this? This is the Kunlun Mountains, no man's land! This kind of place where there are no human footprints is the living environment of these birds, and it is normal to have an eagle.

"I just...... Gut feeling. Thomas spread his hands and said he was innocent. Whether it is Lu Wu's headphones or the eagle flying in the sky, they are all very normal things. "Intuition doesn't have to be reliable. ”

Amber had also gotten out of the car by this time.

"Lu Wu," Amber said. "I feel a little ...... Uneasy. ”

"What?" Lu Wu's intuition about Thomas can be ignored, but he can't ignore Amber's intuition. He knew that Amber was the First Lawman, and that the First Law Mana possessed a lot of incredible powers.

"I don't know, but I have the idea of using the magic of the Second Law to observe the trajectory of fate. Amber hesitantly turned her gaze to Thomas, who didn't know anything. As a warlock, she certainly knew the shortcomings of the Second Law's magic. Regardless of anything else, Lu Wu is now suffering from the side effects of this magic power and can't extricate himself. However, as a powerful supernatural ability, Amber still has a curvy way to save the country. It was in this way that she found Ren Jian's whereabouts in the man named Ah Hu before. Of course, the price of this kind of thing is paid by Ah Hu himself - the warlock gets the benefit, but the price is paid by others, which is the power and arrogance of this magic.

Thomas just smiled at Amber's gaze. Maybe it's because of the different angles of appreciation for beauty at home and abroad, maybe it's because Thomas's mind never stays on women, in short, he doesn't show any ambiguous attitude towards amber. Of course, the most likely thing is that Thomas has noticed something strange about Amber.

That's ...... There was no trace of makeup on Amber's face - she was really a true expression, plain face...... In this day and age, it's a true miracle. Although this seems to be explained by "talented", how can the person (maybe his girlfriend) around Master Lu Wu be an ordinary person?

The practice of oriental mystical techniques can bring great improvement to people, and yoga is an example of this. Therefore, Thomas also regarded the miracle on Amber as a side effect of a certain cultivation method. If the idea had anything, it had increased Thomas's desire to learn.

Of course, this foreigner also knows that these mysterious cultivation skills are usually not passed on. It takes talent and luck to become a successor, and usually there are some difficult tests to go through. These are the things he learned from books, TV series, and of course, legends.

Lu Wu remembered what the master had said before, and shook his head at Amber, saying no.

……

The eagle flying in the sky slowly lowered its altitude.

In the last few tens of meters, it slowly descended in a circle, stretched out its claws, and grabbed the man's arm.

It's not a domesticated falcon. A keen person can feel that wild exuberance in it. In fact, even after the domestication of falcons, falconers had to put leather gauntlets on their hands to protect themselves from being scratched by the falcon's talons. Because falcons do have very sharp talons. This is the weapon that these birds of prey really rely on for their livelihood. Their mouths, though equally sharp, are used to tear flesh rather than hunt.

At this moment, however, the wild eagle rested on an ordinary arm. There are no leather handguards on the arms, only ordinary leather jackets. The sharp claws are just right to grasp and perch

"The target has been discovered. The Stygian Warlock with an eagle on his arm said. "They did come down this path. ”

"Won't it be noticed?" asked one of the companions.

"No, according to our intelligence...... That amber must be very bad at the magic of the Fifth Law. ”

There are things that everyone is good at and what they are not good at, even warlocks. It's very common for a particular person to do more with less and some to do more with less. In this case, the right thing to do is to discover what you are good at, the potential of the potential, and let go of the parts that lack potential. To paraphrase a phrase on Earth, no matter how hard Einstein exercised, he couldn't win the flying Jordan. So what he has to do is not to exercise, but to think.

So, if Amber wasn't good at the magic of the Fifth Law, she wouldn't have exercised it. She also doesn't notice the birds in the sky.

However, this is also the only reliable information they can get from the top up.
