Chapter 55: The First Time
A month later
The dim sky saw the light of the sun and the moon, and the fog on the sea never seemed to dissipate.
The sound of the water sounded, one bow, two bows, three, four......
More and more ships emerge from the mist, like rotten boats sailing in a sea of suffering.
They have long since lost the brilliance they had when they set out, and are more patches and deep scratches everywhere.
The first to break out of the bow of the misty big ship, a Sword Pavilion elder helped the three-foot Qingfeng behind him, his beard was messed up by the sea breeze, and a little light was restored in his tired eyes.
"It's finally ......"
A group of nearly 100 large ships, in the case of mutual assistance, only more than 60 arrived at the shore, and all factions have reduced their personnel to varying degrees.
But this is also within an acceptable range, after all, the majority are still the ships of the imperial court, how many soldiers are carried on them, and how many soldiers are lost, whether they are distressed or not, only they know it.
The boat docked, and the disciples of the sect, under the leadership of their respective elders, began to set up a simple camp on the shore.
And the ships of the imperial court walked down the rows of elite soldiers, intending to set up a large camp according to the predetermined plan.
Many people from the rivers and lakes on the side glanced at it and sneered, this East China Sea Immortal Island was originally obtained by chance, and sending troops directly like this naturally made all the sects and factions very unhappy.
But they can't do anything, after all, it's the imperial court, and now at a glance, there is not a single tree on this island except for the fog, so many people in the imperial court, take a hammer to build a camp.
Laughing and laughing, they also fell silent, and found that something was wrong, yes, Xiandao Xiandao, how could there not be a single tree.
Look at the surrounding environment, loose soil, no distant fog, gloomy sky, where there is a little fairy land, if this is the underworld, the bank of the Huangquan River, it is not too much to describe.
"Look around, don't go far, everyone must be in sight of their companions. A senior commanded.
This place reveals an inexplicable weirdness, and since they are here, the other sects that support each other at sea will inevitably have to play some tricks.
Soon after, as their respective makeshift camps were set up, several exclamations suddenly rang out in the mist.
When the group arrived, a small boat was found on the other shore, and several miserable corpses were found in the fog.
At this time, the many forces that sensed that something was wrong began to form a loose alliance.
In a big tent, more than a dozen elders of the sect who were called the number one in the rivers and lakes gathered together, and sitting on the main seat was a general of the imperial court.
"Ma is just a small general in the imperial court, but he guards the frontier all the year round, I think everyone can see that something is wrong here, and it is not good for us to fight separately. ”
General Ma's words made the elders below speechless, first, he said the truth, and second, he could defend the frontier, but he was not a small general.
"Is the autopsy clear?"
"It's rotten, it looks like it's been dead for a long time, and judging from the way I wear it, it's my Sword Pavilion disciple. The Sword Pavilion Elder replied sullenly.
"Good luck for the Sword Pavilion. ”
"You ......"
"Okay, don't be noisy. General Ma pressed his hand, "The battle in the army has also had results, several Sword Pavilion disciples were cut off by a sword, and the weapon used by the enemy should be an unconventional heavy sword, and the strength is very good." ”
"Could it be the guards of the fairy island?"
"I can't say, it could be, it could be...... This is not a fairy island at all. ”
"I think so too, this place is too weird, there is no fairy atmosphere. ”
"Hmph, do you think the immortal inheritance is so good, which immortal legend doesn't have a bunch of dangers?
"Ignorant ......"
"Okay! I said don't make any noise!" General Ma raised his voice suddenly, "Tomorrow, we can jointly send some people to explore deeply, and the other people in the rivers and lakes will soon dock, I don't think you want to let the benefits fall into the hands of others, right?"
"Besides, the people who have left the dynasty have always been very well-informed, and an immortal inheritance is enough to create a gate faction, so you should weigh it. ”
The crowd was silent, and after a long time, the elders who had accepted General Ma's suggestion left the big tent and began to prepare for tomorrow's affairs.
In the big tent, General Ma sat alone on the main seat, showing a mocking smile.
"General, how many men will be sent tomorrow?"
"Like them, let them take the lead, Your Majesty wants the method of immortality, which can weaken the strength of these Jianghu sects with their noses on the top of their heads, and Your Majesty will be even happier. ”
"Understood, General!"
......
The next day
Duke Roy stood on the defensive wall, snorting hot air and rubbing his cold hands.
"Don't come out too often when you're old, isn't the fire in the house warm?" said the God of War Pope.
"You should only ...... often when you're old You're not the same age as me?"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"I'm really getting older, especially when I feel like the current era is really changing faster and faster. The God of War Pope sighed.
"Yes, I received news a few days ago that the capital of the Kaia Empire has begun to implement electric lights, can you imagine? ”
"You're talking about Sost Energy Company, right? That person is not simple, now the operation of the Kaia Empire is almost all controlled by him, except for the absence of force, he is no different from the king, even how much inventory the real king's treasury has, he has the final say. ”
Duke Roy shook his head: "I also saw that child, right in my house, when Ferrante was not yet missing. ”
Hearing Duke Roy talk about Ferrante again, the God of War Pope was stunned for a moment, then quickly changed the topic, pointed to the west of the defensive wall and said:
"You said that if we can fight it, the whole world will be doubled, and how exciting it will be then, but unfortunately we may not see it. ”
"Huh...... You just say that you want to fight......, won't it be over? But the environment over there ......."
"Is the environment a problem? Times are changing faster and faster, and the environment is not a problem. ”
The two sighed at the same time, thinking differently.
At this moment, the guards who were holding the point on the side were suddenly stunned, carefully adjusted the distance of the telescope to the appropriate position, and then suddenly got up and shouted:
"Enemy situation!"
......
Tria
Now Tria has begun to promote electric light by the Church of Light, and such a miraculous thing has aroused the interest of many people.
In particular, Sost Energy charges only a small amount of electricity per month, which they can afford even for the lower classes.
After all, Sost often provides them with free food and medicine, saving them a lot of money.
In the office, Yafanka floated around, circling Sost.
"What is this?" Avanaka pointed to the wooden box on the table.
Soster smiled slightly: "One thing that can protect itself." ”
As he spoke, Sost opened the wooden box, and the pitch-black exterior revealed a chill, and the long metal steel pipe showed the highest level of skill in Atlanta today.
The delicate casting technique conceals the mechanism tightly, revealing only a smooth, terrifying appearance.
"Alena's recent style of behavior has become more and more eccentric, sometimes good and sometimes bad, more and more noble ministers in the palace have begun to criticize me, the company has just begun to speed up, and there must be some security at this time to feel at ease. ”
Taking a hard sip of his cigar, Soster laughed as he lifted the long alternative weapon from the wooden box.
"You draw your bow and arrow with the wind, Lao Tzu picks up a big gun against the wind, when I was in Avos, I was terrified by this thing. ”
......
hell
Cassia put down the teacup and shook his head gently: "The taste has changed." ”
Wells on the other side was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood.
"The tea still tastes like that, the taste of the college plantation, I haven't drunk it for a long time, but they ......"
"What do you want to say?" Cassia raised his eyes.
"They have gone from preparing for the disaster to now giving up on self-preservation, and they have begun to figure out how to fight it. ”
"It's the inevitability of civilization, and when I'm sleeping, the people of the previous era did more than that, didn't they?"
"Dean, you are the key, you are the key to keeping everything the same, just as the academy is no longer there, and I can still drink the tea from the plantation. ”
"Are you convincing me that the world is meant to be, I won't interfere, and as for my own business, it's not time yet. ”
"I see, Dean. ”
"Alright, I won't delay your work. ”
Cassia put down the teacup, got up to leave, then suddenly stopped, turned his head sideways and said: "By the way, Alena don't go to her for the time being, it's normal, it's crazy, it's up to her, and the others are the same." ”
"Understood, Dean. ”
