Thanks to the other side of the passer-by, holding back the glory to death, the black hole evil god, Tangmen-Baozi No. 25, and Raligun for their tips.

The script for GX was rumored to have been changed several times, so it was very confusing, but fortunately I didn't need to follow the main story...... Otherwise I'm going to go crazy.

But it has to be said that this chaos has a different character.

It's like a dream, chaotic and disorderly.

――――――――――――――――

Jiangcheng is a city built on the basis of an oasis. In terms of land area, it is not much larger than Riyao Town, but the population and materials circulating here are incomparable to the latter.

It is the largest and most well-equipped city on the desert frontier, with plenty of food and water and enough soldiers to fend off monsters in the dark. From Jiangcheng to the west, the desertification of the land gradually disappears, and you can touch the meadows and forests in less than the time of an I-shaped hourglass...... And for this reason, even in the deeper desert area, there is also the storage of Riyao Town, and people generally believe that Jiang Cheng is the last checkpoint to step into the desert border.

The lighting in the city was still the same white ore that Li Bai had seen in the hot spring tent before, and it could rely on itself in the dark to emit a hazy shimmer like moonlight. The builders installed it on the top of a long wooden pole, and one of these alternative street lamps can be seen every five or six meters on the street, and although the light emitted by it is faint, it is possible for the people here to escape from the dark life.

Li Bai now feels that it is not unreasonable for Morana to wear clothes like that for her.

The climate in Jiangcheng is very strange, and it stands to reason that the temperature should be extremely cold when there is no sunlight, but there is often a sultry wind blowing here, so most of the residents of Jiangcheng wear sandals similar to the ones on her feet.

"It is dangerous to live in the dark for a long time, and even if they are not preyed upon by those beasts, their own bodies will change themselves according to the environment. This includes human beings as well. What's more, Floris has been out of sunshine for almost a year...... Every time my search party is on a mission in an uninhabited area, they can detect mutated people. ”

"Hey...... If that could still be called a human being. ”

Molana and Li Bai rode their horses slowly down the streets, which was Li Bai's request, and she wanted to see how a city could operate in such a harsh environment.

"You mean, they're going to turn into monsters." Imagining what kind of deformed life it was, Li Bai's face showed obvious disgust.

No matter what kind of monster it is, its disgusting process cannot compare to the alien life form that humans themselves have turned into, because as long as the thought of it is still a human being, you can't help but feel sick to your stomach.

"Their combat effectiveness is very weak, probably not as good as a maned dog, but they have evolved the ability to see in the dark, and their knee joints begin to bend backwards like animals, so that they can walk on all fours, and they live by eating the corpses of other creatures, which is not a threat." Morana's face was also not good-looking, and she was also very uncomfortable with the consequences of demonic darkness when it came.

"The reason why I tell you these strange things is because I think it will help you...... You're leaving for Carol soon, right? ”

"Well, I'll probably leave tomorrow at the latest." Li Bai replied a little nervously, she had just learned to ride a horse under Molana's teaching, and at the moment her hands were holding the reins rigidly, no matter what she talked to, she couldn't distract from it.

A barbarian warrior passed by her, turned his head to look at her curiously, muttered something in his mouth, shook his head and walked away.

Judging by its appearance, it looks a lot like the "Barbarian No. 1" in the card.

This is nothing unusual, after staying in Jiang Cheng for a while, Li Bai has figured out that this place is indeed the same as the lion wizard said at the beginning, the elves with many cards, and their survival trajectories have long been intertwined with normal humans, and they are interdependent. She had relied on systematic calculations to measure the difference between ordinary natives and elven natives, and found that instead of the former's attack and defense values being the lowest value of "0" in the card, as she had imagined, there would be quite unstable fluctuations, with the lowest being around 100 and the highest not exceeding 1000.

This shows that ordinary humans here are not defenseless.

"IMHO." Morana stared at the other party with a serious gaze, "You really don't plan to let me report it." ”

Li Bai and Lilith had already learned about TFlotis's general situation from the mouth of the female knight. If they wanted to travel through this dark world to the front lines of the war, they would have to go to another teleportation node at the end of the world, and she had previously learned from the system that it was nearly 20,000 kilometers away from her, even more out of reach than crossing the Eurasian continent from the far east on Earth. If she did it, it would not only take a lot of time, but also waste her energy by the troubles she encountered along the way. So she didn't want to take this path, she planned to take Morana's Jian yì and take another path.

"Carol was originally the capital of Beo, the strongest country in Flotis, after Beo's demise, it was selected by us as a garrison to open up a small teleportation node, located in the southwest direction of Jiangcheng, with a journey of about 600 kilometers, normal people can have 50-60 kilometers of hiking ability a day, and they can walk in more than ten days, Lilith is about 30 kilometers, you ...... Lipel ...... It's almost 20 kilometers (muttering: maybe not yet), which means you have to walk for more than 30 days to get there, and you can't be dragged down by the unexpected yet. ”

This is the image when Morana gave them ideas.

"If only Lipel could learn to ride a horse...... Don't stare at me, if you know how to ride a horse, this speed can be increased several times, and even if you count the unexpected, you can reach it in about 20 days - but this is only a theoretical efficiency. ”

"I mentioned before the nature of Carroll, which determines that even the outer defense force there will be extremely tight, and I was there two months ago, when the vast majority of the expeditionary force stationed in Carroll had already skipped the node and arrived at Styler, and at that time, the defense force you would have to face would have been reduced to a very small number, but still more than ten legions, or more than 100,000 men...... And Yu Xiu, the guy who is responsible for driving the beasts of another dimension to widen the spatial passage, if he is not lazy, then you should only need to face a garrison of less than 50,000 people. ”

"Oh...... Of course I know it's no different for just two of you, but it's better to do less than more...... Don't ask why there are so many troops, think of the Terminal Necrons you've seen before - those guys are very different from normal life, they consume very little, and they only need a little energy to survive. What's more, there are many legions of the 'dead' in the expeditionary force, which are perpetual motion machines that do not need resources at all, as long as the 'darkness' is not extinguished, they are eternal beings. ”

"The cavalry I gave you will escort you all the way to Carol's outer perimeter, and you'll leave the rest of the infiltration to you."

"If you think about it, it's still tens of thousands of defenses, it's really hard, it's too hard...... I don't understand why you're doing this, if you report it according to the normal procedures, Your Majesty will definitely send an elite to escort you into Staylor, why bother? ”

……

"What I answered you then, I will answer now." Still clutching the reins, Li Bai responded, "You don't need to admonish me in this regard, I won't change my mind." ”

What she hopes for is to stand on a completely equal perspective and fight Nelofa for the last time, instead of being escorted all the way by the other party's forces as an ancestor like the other party's "someone".

"On the contrary, you, as an important corps commander, actually gave us the green light, which is no different from treason."

"Haha, that's not to be confused." Morana smiled smugly, "With the protection of the Supreme Ruler, do you think I will still be afraid of the impeachment of those fools?" They better learn to behave, otherwise...... Otherwise, in the end, it depends on my mood to decide who is dead and who is alive. ”

Forced by the power of the Flame Emperor, the Temple faction and the conservatives became allies in a group, putting themselves in a position of checks and balances, it can be said that Molana, as one of the four corps commanders, did not stand on the front line of the battlefield at this moment, and they had a "credit". To put it bluntly, these things are nothing more than an exchange of interests that have existed since the birth of intelligent life, but they would never have imagined that the Flame Emperor would take the opportunity to leave a mark on Morana.

"So, you're not monolithic internally." Li Bai suddenly worried about whether his plan could be implemented smoothly, "Isn't the ruler of Jiang Cheng you?" ”

"Jiang Cheng's nominal ruler is not me, but a conservative officer, but with the personal guards I left behind, he can't order me to do anything." The female knight glanced at Li Bai with malicious intent, "Based on past experience, he is likely to regard you as mine...... Well, I don't say you know, so I don't have to worry about sending someone to escort you out of town and not make him suspicious. And I will also send people to search for you with those who come with you, so you can rest assured. ”

"It's not like something to be proud of." Li Bai glared at her angrily.

"Of course it's something to be proud of." Molana shook her head and looked leisurely, "No matter what, you can't get rid of the connection with Your Majesty, so when your relationship is stable, I can also take advantage of it...... Ahem, anyway, this is a kind of long-term investment, when you become a queen-"

"If I really become a queen, I will definitely sue Sù Nelofa as soon as possible, saying that you are trying to mistreat me in Jiangcheng."

The smugness on the female knight's face instantly froze...... The white-haired woman's cold tone was like a sharp knife, and it hurt her heart.

"No, how can you do this, it's too vicious!" Changing the volume of the previous whisper, Morana screamed out in shock, causing pedestrians and vendors on the entire street to turn their heads one after another, they were stunned when they saw the two people on horseback, their eyes turned on Morana, and they looked at Li Bai with a very regretful look, and finally turned their heads back calmly and continued to do their own things.

"Who made you fool in my private affairs?" Understanding the potential meaning of everyone's sight, Li Bai's face darkened a little again, "Take 10,000 steps back, this kind of thing is not something that an officer should worry about, I think you think your life is too long." ”

The queen's heart trembled when she stabbed her twice, and she didn't know what attitude to use for a while, so she had to go back with irony.

Debating about the style, the two rode slowly, and soon Molana's mansion appeared in front of them.

This means that today's walk is almost over.

“…… I'll ask you a question at the end. Unable to convince the female knight who seemed to be missing a tendon in her head, Li Bai gave up her plan and asked another question she was more concerned about: "To be able to serve as the commander of the corps at your age must have made unimaginable efforts." I would like to know, what is your motivation for doing this qiē. ”

"Is it really only for the monarch who follows you? Or is it for yourself? Or what do you plan to do in the future? There has to be a reason. ”

"Power? Future? Hearing these questions, Morana was stunned. She began to fall silent, as if she had been touched by something.

“…… If you don't want to say it, forget it. Concentrating slightly, Li Bai was very surprised that this big woman with a problematic sexual orientation would actually have such a side.

Fortunately, the location of the mansion is in a remote corner of the city, and there are no pedestrians on the whole street, otherwise if Molana is seen like this, all kinds of rumors may spread tomorrow.

"No, it's not a secret." Recovering from her thoughts, Morana smiled, "The noble circles of the empire almost know about this. ”

"I joined the army not only to repay Your Majesty, but also to repay the Legion Elder who saved my life."

The corps commander, who is also the commander of the "dark side of the moon", is the supreme commander of the corps, and holds a higher position than the corps commander - the corps commander is responsible for commanding the troops, and the corps commander is responsible for decision-making, and has the most complete control over the army.

"I'm not a native Mithra...... At that time, Mithra was only the first mediocre kingdom that had never risen, and although the territory was vast but surrounded by powerful enemies, the subordinate princes did not obey the orders of yin and yang, and I was born in the territory of one of his subordinate principalities. Molana looked thoughtful, her expression was calm and serene, and she was like two people.

"When I was fourteen years old, my parents died, and the magnates of the territory where I was born sent me letters to comfort me, saying that they wanted to marry me. Kindness...... You may not know that women during that time were very insecure, in short, they were easy to deceive, and they only needed a little commitment to ......"

"I was a noble lady for three years and bore him a healthy son." Her tone has also changed, not giving Li Bai the weird sense of confusion that she used to have, but as warm as water, just like a real noblewoman.

"Serve your husband and teach your children...... I thought that was the rest of my life - until I stumbled upon his hidden diary in his study. ”

"I always thought you were only twenty-five or sixteen years old, and what was written in your diary." Combined with the other party's current situation, there was a trace of horror in Li Bai's eyes, "Could it be that your ...... Parents are ......"

"He's a very confident and conceited man, and I liked that very much." Morana stretched out her hand and stroked her long hair, and looked at Li Bai with a smile, "It's the same now." ”

Li Bai felt chills all over his body.

She has never had such an experience, but she can imagine that the husband she loves so much is actually the demon who directed her own family, and she has loved him ignorantly for three years and has children for him......

What kind of desperate ...... is that for a woman?

“…… Originally, I was going to be tied to a cross and burned to death on charges of murder and murder, but the Legionnaire happened to be passing by and thought something was wrong, so he saved my life. ”

"So from then on you followed her and joined the army." Li Bai's eyes stared at the road ahead, and there was no sadness or joy on his face, "What about your son." ”

"Dead." Molana also looked ahead with her, "When the empire sent troops, he, as the heir of the family, refused to let the army pass from his territory, and along with other sinners, he was hanged. ”

Li Bai didn't answer, she felt that she understood the other party a little.

That kind of deliberately informal, masculine words and deeds, presumably to completely negate the first half of his life.

"So, I hope you don't let me down." Riding her horse to the door of the mansion, Morana turned over and dismounted, looking up at the white-haired woman on the horse, her eyes flashing again with the fierceness of the battle she had fought with her in the desert.

“…… Don't let your majesty down! ”

"Coming back?" Lilith heard the sound of the door opening, and looked back to see Li Bai lying on the bed without even taking off her cloak, and was a little curious: "Is it so early today, are you tired?" ”

"yes." Covering his eyes with his crossed arms, Li Bai lazily responded, "I'm tired." ”

Excluding close relatives, where in this world will there be help for no reason.

(The reason why she was relieved to let me go to Carol, and also gave me a cavalry, must have been a precautionary measure...... bar. ）

For example, take the initiative to report their intelligence to the top person in charge of Carol, and then round them up with the defenders.

In that case, their plans would be completely destroyed, and Lilith would not be able to contact the people of Myrazon, and even her own life would be in danger.

In another place far away from Jiang City, in a remote village similar to Riyao Town, three little goblins the size of a palm flew around the village, looking for people to ask similar questions.

"Everyone, have you ever seen a blue-haired boy named John?"

"Have you seen it?"

Everyone looked blank and shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know. Until I asked all the residents of the village, the three goblins still found nothing.

"I'm really sorry I couldn't help......" After being busy for a long time, the little goblin led by floated in mid-air and whispered an apology to a man in a cloak in the shadow in the corner.

The cloaked man was short, and the reflection of the spectacle lenses could be seen in the shadow of the hood, and it was actually the voice of Ryo Maruto.

"No, I'm tired of you." Maruto Ryo shook his head calmly, "Instead, I want to thank you, otherwise I might have died in the desert." ”

These three goblins are the "dancing elves" in the card, and they have powerful healing powers, and if they hadn't rescued them, he would have been dead.

Died at the hands of the Cult of the Evil Heart in the Dark Realm, or the Ten Generations of Youcheng!

No one could have imagined that there was a huge amount of darkness lurking in the depths of the hearts of the ten generations, and that darkness turned into another personality, calling himself "Overlord", completely suppressing his master's personality. This personality was born because he hated his own powerlessness, so in order to pursue the ultimate power, the overlord did not hesitate to sacrifice a qiē to complete the ultimate card that gathers countless living beings to sacrifice their lives - hyperfusion. He has gathered quite a few monsters and elves into an army, scavenging villages and towns to fill the energy needed to complete the hyperfusion.

Influenced by the negative feelings of the Cult of the Evil Heart, Ryo Maruto no longer regards him as his predecessor and big brother, and at the same time, this suspicion also prevents him from seeking help from other companions.

He was determined to hide himself in the shadows, keeping an eye on what was going to happen next with the coldest of attitudes, and at the same time fulfilling the original purpose of coming to the elven realm to find out the whereabouts of John Anderson.
