Chapter Seventy-Nine: Reunion
I know someone is going to complain that this chapter is too late.
But my keyboard and mouse were broken at the same time, and there were also reasons why I was thinking about it and couldn't put pen to paper near the end of the volume...... Anyway, I'll do my best to adjust.
Thank you for the red envelope reward from Shen Ma, as well as the tips from Gawu, Linghuang Ya Cry, Kokuraasahi, and the passer-by on the other side.

Li Bai pushed open the two heavy steel doors in front of her, and the light passed through behind her, cutting through the gradually expanding crack in the door into the darkness in front of her, and at the same time pulling her shadow slender and slender.
It wasn't the first time she'd seen this door carved with an evil and dangerous demon god carved on its surface. She could feel the distance between herself and it getting closer and closer as the days passed, until today, when she was finally able to stand in front of it and push it away.
The shadow crept into the end, and soon there was no more than a pair of amethyst heels.
Moving his gaze upwards from the face of his feet, Li Bai finally got his wish and saw the face that was almost the same as her.
Welcome, my half-bodyβshe couldn't hear anything, but she felt strangely that this was what the other had just said.
The scene shattered, and Li Bai's perspective also changed, this time, she and her half body hugged and rolled together, and the chaotic limbs swept back and forth in front of her eyes, making her hazy no matter what she looked at, as if covered with a translucent light veil...... She could only feel what was happening with this hazy impression - they were both so hungry and wild, the same bright red pupils as herself burned violently, and the reflection pupils reflected in the deepest part were also the same scene, and the movements of both of them were extremely rude, as if they wanted to knead each other into their own bodies.
After a long and quick picture, the scene in front of her changed again, she appeared in the hall of a retro palace structure, and the person who was "intimate" with her in the picture just now was dressed in a gorgeous white gauze dress, holding a giant sword with a strange and hideous appearance in his hand, looking at this side with an expectant gaze, his lips moving slowly, with a look of expression, as if asking something.
Are you willing to continue the oath you once made and become the sword that cut through all obstacles for me again?
It was still the same as at the beginning, she couldn't hear the sound, but she felt the meaning of the other party's words.
"I ......"
As the first word she opened her mouth and spit out became the first note that broke through the silence, it was slightly transmitted to her brain, and Li Bai opened her eyes.
Both the princess and the greatsword are gone...... She lay flat on the bed and looked at the ceiling, then sat up again, turned her head, and silently looked out the window on the left.
The dark sky was faintly white in the distance, and the sound of horse-drawn carriages passing and birds chirping in the streets was already passing through the house, and it was evident that it was almost early morning.
Lila and Jane's rooms are spread across the two sides of this bedroom, so Li Bai is the only one in the bedroom, and she has been living here since she moved out of the Wizarding Capital.
I don't know how long it took, the popularity and noise outside the window became more and more obvious, Li Bai withdrew his dull gaze, slowly pulled out an arm from the quilt, and began to rub his eyes.
"It's that dream again."
In the mirror, she muttered like this, looking a little listless.
β¦β¦
"That's the supreme treasure that claims to be the essence of gem magic, Holy Lord, it's a shame that you can't go in...... This is the information you asked me to collect, this is about the Rock Tribe, these are the hilly areas on the outskirts of the East Gate, and the sites and historical documents of Endymion's several migrations......"
Lila held two copies of the materials queried from the royal magic library and Li Bai walked in the corridor of the tower of Endymion, after all, it was wartime, and the atmosphere was much more tense than in the past, in the corridor you can often see solemn-faced magicians or guards and civil officials walking back and forth, they are responsible for checking the safety hazards of various devices and structures in the castle, and also bear the responsibility of transmitting various information, it is at this moment that Endymion finally became some of the rumored "city that never falls" majestic demeanor.
"Good work." After receiving the information of the Rock Clan, Li Bai flipped through it and stepped into the door of the auditorium with the flow of people around him.
Almost a third of the seats have already been occupied, and this morning they will be here for the final deliberations on the real battle plan.
The so-called real battle plan actually took advantage of the situation that the Mithraic army in the east direction had to fight against Endymion head-on if it wanted to continue to expand...... This is not a clever thing, although the Mithrians were locked up in a larger pocket than the northern territories, but they did not lose much in combat, and the only benefit might be that they could not find too many ships to cross the former Amir Plain, which is now Lake Amir, in a short period of time.
After the meeting, Li Bai said goodbye to Lilith and drove in a carriage with Lila, Jane, and Shiyo towards the outskirts of the eastern part of the city.
"Almost a little further on, you'll see the lake they've recently filled in." Toshiro took the map and compared the location of the small dirt slope under his feet, and turned his head to look at his predecessor curiously.
"Why did we come to this place?"
"To give you some more chances of winning the next battle." Li Bai was moving a few large boxes from the back shelves of the carriage with the other two, and frowned when he heard his question, "I know it's boring to keep you at home these days, but while you're asking me questions, can you come over and help sort out these things?" Our time is precious, you know. β
It took more than an hour for the four of them to take out all the contents of these boxes and sort them, and Juyo looked at the paint jars, candles, branches, and more messes on the ground, and the curiosity in his eyes almost overflowed, but he finally resisted and didn't ask again.
"These are the mediums I'll use to solidify the magic of the field." Li Bai glanced at him and gave a faint explanation, "Compared to other field magics that are mixed and most of them can only be compatible with a single race or attribute, the target level I chose is not high, but it is very practical, and it should be more suitable for fighting." β
"Awesome...... Have the predecessors reached the point where they can create a zΓ o environment? Ten generations watched in amazement as she began to set up, and couldn't help but think of the conversation she had with the Lion Wizard in the desert when she was still in the Ninth Holy Realm.
He thought that Li Bai could also do the same thing as the Flame Emperor to envelop a realm through the magic of a field.
"It's not as good as her......" Li Bai noticed that his consternation was a little too much, and immediately understood that he must have misunderstood something, recalling her experience in the Black Forest, she didn't move in a mess, but she explained something else in her mouth.
"Unlike me, she is a real genius, I have been able to get to where I am today because of all kinds of accumulation, but she can achieve a level that is almost the same or even surpasses me through a short period of study."
"Whether it's a duel or something else, she is always quick to comprehend, then analyze and understand the essence of it, and finally find the most reasonable and suitable method for herself...... It should be said that she is indeed fundamentally different from me...... Just like you, Judai, and games, you may not have noticed it yourself, but you actually have similarities. β
Piles of branches and candles were placed in different places by Li Bai, these things are actually not suitable for the medium, those are things that only pure magicians understand, and her placement here is actually more to measure the distance and limit the scope of the venue that will be manifested.
She seemed to be chattering casually, but Shidai could hear a trace of vague melancholy and regret in it, and the brown-haired young man frowned, not knowing what Li Bai meant by him.
For a long time, he could not understand the true meaning of these words, and it was not until much, long later that he understood what terrible message was hidden in them.
"Alright, that's pretty much it." Looking up at the water and sky in the distance, Li Bai nodded with satisfaction.
The presence of Lake Amir is a fitting fit for the geography of her chosen site β it doesn't have to be water, but it certainly makes it more convenient.
"It's not that close to Endymion." Looking back at the direction he came, Juyo held his chin and muttered, "Even if it's field magic, it doesn't matter if it's set up here." β
He didn't know anything about fighting, but he also knew the advantages of condensing cutting-edge forces, like Li Bai's current behavior, he felt like he was dividing into two successive battlefields, and there was a risk of being broken by each.
"What a stunned young man, why do you think those buildings in the inner city are so obviously different from those of Endymion." When Lila heard him, she gave him an angry look.
"For a long time, the only thing that really deserved the title of 'Magic Capital' was the castle in the center." Jane saw the young man's stunned expression on the side, and it was rare to open her mouth to explain to him.
"And according to the literature, the city is now in a wilderness seven hundred years ago."
"But...... I remember you mentioned earlier that Endymion is at least thousands of years old? Juyo scratched his head, and the paladin's hint only confused him even more.
"Huh, wait...... Could it be said? He looked back in the direction of the Wizarding City again, and inadvertently saw three small black dots in the sky above him.
Those are the three floating cities that belong to Lamaison.
β¦β¦
Solidifying the field magic is not as easy as manifesting a sword, a sword or a fireball, and Li Bai can't deal with this kind of embodiment at once, so she just completed the construction of the preliminary material structure here, and then returned to Endymion with the other three.
When they arrived at their mansion, they happened to see an envoy sent by Hailong waiting in the foyer, Li Bai still had a good impression of this king of Lamaison, the other party was obviously different from the king of magic in handling things, like a scholar more than like a ruler, almost no arrogance, so she immediately paid attention to the matter of him sending a messenger to come.
The messenger was dressed in dark green robes and hats, holding a gold-encrusted staff with gems the length of her half, platinum hair, and a good figure, and she knew that she could not be just an ordinary messenger.
Helong would have sent a magician to find her, and there must be something important.
Seeing Li Bai and his party, the messenger got up from the chair in the foyer and saluted everyone.
"It's an honor to meet you, I'm ......"
"Justy, huh." Li Bai interrupted her introduction and smiled at the other party's surprised gaze: "Lilith told me about her peers, so I'll know you're not surprised at all." β
"That's right." The Wizard Priest showed a look of surprise, and then she regained her face and said, "I know that your affairs are busy, but this matter is ...... His Majesty had to send me to disturb me. β
This is the first time Justy has faced the "rumored" person, the other party is really a very assertive and aura guy as said in the information, considering the importance of the other party and the status that she can achieve in the content she knows, she used honorifics for Li Bai in the following sentences.
"So, it's about the Northern Battlefield?"
The other directions were relatively sparsely populated, and they had completely fallen as early as the first week of the battle, and the other party was so nervous that he ran over to say that there was something important, except for the northern battlefield where he was still struggling indiscriminately, Li Bai couldn't think of any other possibilities.
"Not really...... The lords of the northern battlefield have seen the status quo thoroughly, and those who can get out have basically moved their family forces to the place where Endymion is still behind, and a few diehards can't pose any threat to Mithra's army at all, and the war situation is basically clear, just waiting for when the enemy will cross the water to attack. β
"......" Li Bai stopped wanting to drink tea, frowned, and carefully observed Justi's face.
"Then why did His Majesty the Emperor order you to come to me? Let's be honest, as you know, we're short on time. β
"That...... Actually, it's ......" At the critical moment, Justy's expression became a little strange, she looked like she wanted to say something and stopped, and the corners of her eyes glanced into the inner room from time to time.
βοΌβ Looking at the magic envoy in front of him suspiciously, Li Bai couldn't figure out what the other party was trying to do.
(What does she mean by always looking into the inner room, is there someone else inside?) οΌ
Just when she wondered if the other party had brought someone to the inner room to rummage through things, the door of a room in the corridor suddenly opened, and before everyone could see the appearance of the person who opened the door, Li Bai was overwhelmed on the carpet by the figure.
"Presumptuous!"
"This is an assassin?"
"Don't be impulsive! She was not threatening. Li Bai was startled at first, but when she smelled a familiar scent, the uneasiness in her heart immediately calmed down, and while she spoke out to stop her guard's behavior of wanting to use the sword, she reached out and gently stroked the top of the figure's head and back a few times with a complicated face.
"Lipel ......" felt the comfort from the other party, and the person lying in Li Bai's arms trembled slightly, raised his head, and revealed a white and pretty face with a crying pear blossom and rain.
"Alright...... It's okay, anyway, I'm here. With a smile that looked gentle, Li Bai reached out and pinched the girl's face.
"It's been a long time, Desire."
