Chapter 51
The town of Gray Valley, which had always been calm, suddenly became noisy and panicked. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
First of all, all the people of the Rodin Chamber of Commerce walked out of their original station and headed towards the Edward family caravan station. This act seemed to trigger some hidden switch, and a group of patrolling soldiers suddenly appeared on the street where there were no soldiers, and stopped them, telling them to return to the inn that had been prepared for them. The attitude of the Rodin Chamber of Commerce was very firm, and they did not hesitate to force their way towards the Edward Chamber of Commerce's station, and the attitude of the soldiers who suddenly appeared was even more determined, and they directly drew their weapons and made them have to go back.
Just as the tension between the two sides was about to break out, the caravan of the Taylor family, which was not far away, also left and headed in the same direction, so another group of soldiers appeared in front of them as if they had come out of the ground. But when another soldier came running in a panic and reported that the caravan had left the original station, the officers who took the lead immediately panicked.
As if there was a tacit understanding, the caravan guards of the Rodin Chamber of Commerce and the Taylor family all drew their weapons and rushed over with shouts as if they were surrounded by bandits and thieves, while those soldiers, including the leaders and several officers, were only shouting loudly, especially after two soldiers were cut down to the ground, the others all dispersed in a hurry, allowing the caravan guards to break through.
"Rubbish! It's all rubbish! Didn't you tell those guys a long time ago that there must be more than one soldier in the dark near every caravan just in case? Who is that guy? Are twelve people also called a squad? They were also scattered by a group of merchants, and they don't have the slightest combat strength at all, and they are worthy of being called soldiers? Who is the leader of the caravan? Who introduced them? And there are only two people in charge of guarding the Minter family's caravan? Didn't they report that there were two squads of soldiers? Don't they know that this is a very important action?"
Looking at the situation on the surveillance images, and listening to the reports from the lower-level soldiers using wire horns, the garrison commander's sweat kept dripping down his chin, and now he couldn't take out all kinds of food and wine to relieve the pressure, so he could only roar in vain.
To be honest, he had long had doubts about the combat effectiveness and execution of the men he had gathered this time, but after all, this was a trap with calculated intentions, and they were not the protagonists of the action, so he was not too worried. But it wasn't until this moment that he realized that these guys, who were just like him who relied on connections and gold coins to get a bite of fat, were really just a bunch of soldiers with their own shape, and maybe even ordinary bandits and bandits were more effective than them.
Fortunately, there are still people in the formation this time. The commander quietly glanced back behind him. On the chair not far away, Sir Adari sat upright like a mountain, his expression calm and silent, just quietly watching a part of the surveillance image that was separated. And there was a small man standing next to him, that is, the mage who had broken into Greydale Town with flying skills before, and he heard Sir Adari say that he knew him, and this time he came to assist him in completing some tasks.
Some tasks. The old knight seems to have finally understood the flexibility. Actually wearing that arcane armor, and actually running here to mix in this kind of action that he had sneered at and even raged before, he knew that he had finally opened his mind. The resident commander was also secretly pleased, but he couldn't figure it out, even if the old knight himself enlightened himself and instructed him to come over to participate in this mission, who else could issue him a mission. Thinking about the several high-ranking people in the legion, it seems that they are not qualified enough, at least the old knight has never given them any good looks.
Could it be the Alo Plains, or even one of the Oroyostas?" the commander glanced quietly at the small mage next to Ser Adari. Being able to fly here with flying magic, he can be sure that this will not be a mage from a local family on the West Coast, it is the famous six-ring arcane, there are only a handful of high-level mages who can use the six-ring arcane in this poor countryside on the west coast, and they don't know if the package does not include flying magic, and they are all gray-haired bad old men.
And if it's flying with a scroll, it's even more incredible. There could not be any family or power on the West Coast that could be so extravagant, and it was almost certainly a luxury that only the lords of the Oro Plain could have. And the ability to command Sir Adari may also be those old monsters left over from the Imperial Era. Could it be that Oroyusta wants to make some big moves against the Northern Legion? Such as removing the top management of the Legion, or even simply abolishing the Legion......
The commander suddenly felt the sweat on his back become cold and greasy, and he was so uncomfortable that he was dying. He was fat but not stupid, and he could clearly feel that things were completely out of his control.
Forget it, forget it, don't think about so many useless things needlessly, at least do what you can do in front of you first. The garrison commander reluctantly focused on the projection screen in front of him, and ordered in a deep voice: "Bring in the troops who stayed outside to intercept these guys!" They are all moving towards the Howard caravan, they have already planned it, and it is very likely that they have seen our plan in advance. At the same time, notify the damned dwarves and let them get moving!
After the order, the commander couldn't help but turn his head slightly and glanced at Sir Adari behind him, hoping to see something about himself from this old sir, but unfortunately the old sir still quietly looked at the small piece of surveillance screen that was divided together with the little mage next to him, and he was not interested in his panicked howling and drinking. The commander hurriedly glanced at it, and the divided picture was not very large, it seemed to be the scene inside the mountain, and there were not many light spots on it, it seemed that there were only two, but they were all a little dazzling.
"This must be the man you're looking for?" asked Sir Adari in a low voice. He looked at the two small points of light in front of him, one was as bright as a star, dazzling and flickering, and the other was like the sun, the light emitted was constant, powerful and long-lasting, as if it could last for ten thousand years.
"It should be. Same as I had seen from afar before. Stephanie next to her looked at the somewhat flickering point of light with a strange expression. "Such a huge but not condensed vitality, I have only seen it in this guy, as if many dragon's limbs and organs have been transplanted into the body, and it can still achieve a perfect balance, which is incredible. What a wacky Western witchcraft. ”
"Although the cultural system is different, Westerners are very unique in the development and application of life energy. Don't underestimate them. The old knight reminded faintly. "The Royal Academy used to have a research group dedicated to the development of their life energy, and it seems that there are still practical technologies, but they have not been handed down. ”
"Yes. Stephanie nodded. This sir, if not a mage in the true sense of the word, had also received an orthodox arcane education from the Imperial Age, and she did not dare to underestimate it. Turning her gaze to another point of light on the surveillance effect, she asked, "Are those Westerners trustworthy?"
"I don't know. The old sir had no expression on his face. "Does it matter?"
"No, it doesn't matter. ”
###
In the dark underground passageway, a soft light curtain moved with the sound of footsteps. The light curtain swirled rapidly, and from time to time it swept past the corpses of dwarves of various shapes on the ground, but the footsteps were not very fast, like the rhythm of a leisurely stroll, and if you just listened to the sound, it was as if it were just an old man walking in his garden.
The source of the light curtain is a light source crystal, which is held in the hand of a one-armed man wearing a mask, and the faint soft white light shines on the hideous mask, and after the reflection, it is all carried with a bit of weird and fierce atmosphere, but the eyes under the mask are very calm, or deep enough to bury everything in the deepest part of the unnoticed. The eyes didn't glance at the dwarven corpses on the ground, but into the depths of the passage beyond the light curtain.
Finally, the one-armed man's footsteps slowed down, and the movement of the light curtain slowed down, and finally stopped completely, and a figure sitting cross-legged on the corpse of a dwarf had just been illuminated into the range of the light curtain.
"I've been waiting for you for a while. "The man sitting on the dwarven corpse has a strange, stiff face with no hair or eyebrows, and it is none other than Feng Yinqiu.
"Are you hiding from the Euros like this?" the one-armed man looked at the strange man he had never seen before, but his eyes did not look strange in the slightest. Even if the appearance is completely different, it does not prevent him from recognizing this person in the slightest. When the realm and experience reach their point, the meaning of appearance is not so obvious. The undisguised voice and breath, and the fist marks that remained on the corpses of those dwarves, all showed that he was him.
"It's just a little trick to tease the dwarven brutes. Feng Yinqiu was also carefully looking at this old man who had not been seen for several years, except for the wooden mask that exuded an ominous aura, this person's aura was more condensed and thick, and it was also more mellow, which showed that there was also a lot of situation in martial arts cultivation. With the sect inheritances that this person has learned, which are not very clever, he can still go further, and in addition to his extremely high talent, he must have experienced a lot over the years. "I haven't seen you for a few years, and I never expected to see you again on this continent. ”
"I didn't expect you to come to this place. I also heard that two mages from the western continent in Osstar City took action to repel the mages of the Revival Society, and the thunderbolt method shocked many local nobles and temples. I thought it was just the work of Liu Zhenren of the True Martial Sect, but I didn't expect that the other person was actually you. The one-armed man looked at Feng Yinqiu, and something gradually came up in the depths of his originally calm eyes, but his voice was always calm and playful. "I remember when I first escaped from Shenzhou, I seemed to hear that you were going to go up to Longhu Mountain, worship Zhang Tianshi as your teacher, recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors to enter the wall of Zhang's family, and inherit the position of Heavenly Master, right?
Feng Yinqiu shook his head and smiled, the smile looked very awkward on his stiff face: "Now my name is Feng Yinqiu, and I am just a wild Taoist priest who traveled around the European continent with the envoy group of the Great Cadres. ”
"Don't be a Heavenly Master anymore?"
"It's boring, don't do it. ”
"Don't you care about the mess on the rivers and lakes of Shenzhou?"
"If it's not my turn, I can't. ”
"You're coming alone, and you're a woman?"
"No woman is mine. Feng Yinqiu replied lightly, and said after a moment of silence. "If you're asking the girl who was with me that day...... She's gone. ”
"I see. The one-armed man nodded very calmly and didn't ask much. "What about the others? What about the other friends. ”
"They...... It's all gone. ”
"So you're coming across the Euro continent to relax, and you've put down all the previous ones?" the one-armed man's eyes showed a bit of banter. "It's really a good life. ”
"Pretty much. Since it's here, if you don't let it go, you have to let it go. Feng Yinqiu also smiled faintly and nodded. "I happened to learn from the Guardian Hand of the Gawain Chivalry before, and I used the fist of the Tianhe faction that I learned from you with my hand, and I heard him say that it was the same as that used by the leader of the cult, so I followed. And Miss Mu of the Five Elements Sect who came with me happened to meet you, she escaped from those dwarves, and when she told me, I was sure that it was really you. ”
"That's why you smashed so many dwarves with your self-learning Star Shattering Fist and led me all the way here. ”
"Yes. I want to see someone I haven't seen for many years. ”
"Hehe, it's really a good thing to be able to see the old people back then at this time. The one-armed man also smiled slightly.
"And I want to ask you, by the way, how did you get to this path? It's not like you'd do it. ”
"Which way? Why doesn't it look like I did it. ”
"Condense the will of incense, in a vain attempt to ascend to God and become enlightened. This is something that only those ignorant gods in the countryside and the shamans of the wilderness will do, even if you are not from the Daomen, you should know that it is just a way to kill yourself. ”
"I know, but you're talking about Shenzhou, and this is the Euro Continent. ”
"This continent of Europe is indeed manifested by the true spirit, and the path of Shinto is countless times wider than the land of Shenzhou, and there is indeed a chance to touch the true spirit of heaven and earth to become a god of humanity...... But it's certainly not something you can do right now. If it is said that doing this on the land of Shenzhou is ten deaths and no life, then you are only nine deaths and one life now. ”
"I've got my own certainty. The one-armed man replied lightly. "And even if it's nine deaths, I don't hesitate. This is the only thing I can do now, if I don't do this, how can I support these oppressed Shenzhou people, and how can I return to Shenzhou one day, wash away my grievances, avenge the two adults, and kill those demon cubs cleanly?"
In this last sentence, the one-armed man's always flat voice finally couldn't help but bring out a trace of killing intent. It's just that this killing intent, like the magma that suddenly emerges from the idyllic flatland, even if the amount is small, it can make people feel the horror contained below. Even the one-armed man holding the illumination crystal in his hand was dim for a while.
A wail that seemed to come from under the Nine Shadows and was close to the ears rushed to the side. Feng Yinqiu knew that it was not an illusion, in fact, if an ordinary person was here, he would be instantly robbed of consciousness by this voice and his soul would be corrupted, and he would become an ignorant and unconscious idiot from now on. This was the breath that was automatically emitted by the strange mask that was integrated with his breath as the one-armed man's mind fluctuated, and this was not his intention, it was just a natural reaction to breathing. In the words of the European continent, this is a manifestation of lawfulness, and it is indeed evidence that the accumulation of Shinto has reached a very deep level.
"So you're still thinking about going back. Feng Yinqiu let out a long sigh. "So you can't put it down. ”
"You can let go because all you lost was a woman, just a few friends. I never thought to let go of it, because I was different from what you carried. The one-armed man's voice returned to calm, and he asked a natural question, as if someone was asking him why he was eating, drinking, and sleeping. It's just that the wailing and howling that has not disappeared has not disappeared, and the anger, resentment, and grievance that have almost been regularized are filled within ten meters of his body. "The two adults did their best to work hard for thousands of people and the country, but they were assassinated by those people to a bad death, and they still put the accusation on my head. How can this be put down, and if all these things can be put down, what else in this world can be carried on our shoulders?"
"Ah, yes, I don't know if you know. The one-armed man seemed to have just remembered suddenly. "These charges were meant to be put on your head. It's just that later, your identity changed, and Zhang Tianshi wanted to accept you from the entrance wall, how could the next Zhengyi Sect Leader bear such a stigma? ”
"I don't know, but I can guess. At that time, I couldn't help you, and I felt guilty when I thought about it later. Feng Yinqiu shook his head and sighed. After the accident in Shenzhou, he was directly carried away in the northwest, and he almost didn't know the news about the rivers and lakes in the Central Plains, and when he returned, he went to Longhu Mountain with Zhang Tianshi, who was gradually puppetized. However, these things are not difficult to guess, this kind of black cauldron must be carried by someone, and this person was the only companion who was with him at that time.
Seriously, with his influence in the Heavenly Master Sect at that time, it was possible to do his best to help this old man clear his name. As long as there is enough exchange of benefits, those people can always find a new scapegoat. It's just that at that time, his mind was all about how to inherit the position of the Heavenly Master and how to take revenge, and he didn't have time to think about it at all.
"Don't feel guilty. This charge is very good, and I can afford it and am willing to bear it. The combination of my feud and the enmity of the two adults made me know what I had to do. The one-armed man's voice was slightly high-pitched, and he could hear that he really thought so. "The old man once said that no one can give me justice. I'll find my own justice. The stupid big man who came to Shenzhou also reminded me that this path of Shinto faith is definitely the path I want to take. I'm going to find my justice, no, I'm going to do my own justice. I am justice!"
The sound of a deep and powerful voice like a bronze bell and a giant drum spread far away in this dark and closed passage, but no dwarf dared to follow the sound, except for the words of the great man, there was only darkness and silence, and this voice was like the only voice that dominated the world.
Feng Yinqiu didn't speak, he could hear the power contained in these words, which was already deep in this man's soul and could not be shaken.
"In the past few years, whether I was in Shenzhou or came to the European continent, most of the time I was panicked like a rat crossing the street. However, when I have some free time, I still think back to the time when we were together, although it was not for a long time, but I have to say that the two of us are still quite fateful. The one-armed man's voice calmed down again.
Feng Yinqiu nodded. I have to admit that even if he didn't mean it, this old friend has nothing to do with him falling so far.
"Then help me now. The one-armed man looked at the wind. "As long as the two of us work together, whether it's those dwarves or the mages of the Northern Legion, they're just a bunch of jumping clowns. I only need to deal with them for a while, and when I condense the true spirit of Shinto, everything will be fine. Let's join forces again and make a new break out of this foreign land. ”
"As I said, what you're planning is really unlikely. Feng Yinqiu let out a long sigh. Although he knew it was useless, he still had to say it one last time.
"As I said, I have my own reasoning. The one-armed man said lightly.
"Those merchants outside, why are they involved?" asked Feng Yinqiu.
"The bait that the dwarves need, the bait for those in the Northern Legion. The one-armed man replied succinctly.
"Can you let them go?"
"No way. Plans are interlocking. and their possessions, and their lives. ”
"Judging from what I've found, there will be a lot of lives going on. ”
"Yes. ”
"Then where are they going to find justice?"
"They should find it themselves, too. The one-armed man's eyes were calm behind his mask. "Or after I have attained true spirits, if their descendants want to do so, they may come to me. ”
After a moment of silence, Feng Yinqiu let out another long sigh: "You have entered the demon barrier. ”
"Even if it's a demonic barrier, that's my justice. After a pause, the one-armed man's voice sank. "Well, you don't want to. ”
"Actually, I miss the time we were together. Feng Yinqiu could only admit: "But after all, it was back then, and I must make it clear that your current justice is not my justice." ”
"Good. The one-armed man didn't seem to be too surprised, but his voice continued to be low. "When I first noticed that you were coming, I was actually quite looking forward to it. But if you think about it carefully, it's true that you and I can't go together after all. But it's good to meet the deceased at this time and talk about the past. I probably won't have such a chance in the future. ”
With that, the one-armed man turned around, and the light curtain of the illuminating crystal flew away in his seemingly unhurried footsteps, and the surroundings of Feng Yinqiu turned back into darkness. Suddenly, the distant light curtain stopped, and the voice of the big man came from afar.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you, my current name is Qiu Duan. The hatred of hatred is broken off. For the sake of the situation of the year, I will give you one last piece of advice - no matter who it is, no matter what the reason, you must not stand in the way of my justice. (To be continued.) )
