Volume II: The Gran Forest 125 . Castle in the Sky (Part I)
Seeing the confident smile on Skady's face, Yong Shili's heart also relaxed, although Skadi is not very old, but in the two years since she took the throne, the means she has shown are indeed better than her father Yong Jingshuo.
"Without evidence, Dick won't make trouble, and the evidence that proves that Xiu Zhe used his human body to refine the sword or killed his two female apprentices can't even be found, let alone him, as for the stupid thing of forcibly accusing Xiu Zhe of being charged, Dick won't do it, you can rest assured, in a few days, your Xiu Zhe will return to you unharmed."
Scardy's last sentence made Yong Shili blush with three points of banter, and whispered, "Then where is mine.."
Although Yong Shili said this, she still hoped in her heart that Xiu Zhe's eyes that had been looking forward would be able to look back at herself standing behind him.
At this time, Xiu Zhe in the closed secret room has already sat on the ground and entered the illusion created by Kazan to hone his swordsmanship, and while refining his swordsmanship, Xiu Zhe is also improving his fit with Kazan, which is the only way to quickly improve his fit in addition to time.
This sat for three days, and it wasn't until the door of the secret room was opened that Xiu Zhe slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lobach who walked into the secret room.
"The Principality Trial Map has proven your innocence, and I'm sorry for letting you suffer for three days." Lobachnu motioned for Xiu Zhe to leave here with her.
Three days? Xiu Zhe, who has been practicing swordsmanship in the illusion world, can't feel the passage of time, and thought that the current spiritual power to maintain the illusion space for a day is good, but he didn't expect that the spiritual power is only half consumed, and three days have passed in the outside world.
Twisting his neck, there was a crisp sound, and Xiu Zhe touched his deflated stomach and gave birth to a feeling of hunger.
In order to prevent Kazan from going on a killing spree like last time because he had no nutrients in his body, Xiu Zhe followed behind Lobach with the plate that had just been brought the meal and was still hot, while walking and eating.
is very unimpressive, but it is also out of helplessness, Xiu Zhe doesn't want to become a murderer just because Kazan has just been released.
In the past three days, there has been no progress in either the Phantom Sword Dance or the fit with Kazan, and Xiu Zhe is not too disappointed in this, and Forrest Gump also said that he is not a genius but just a talented cultivator.
Lobach did not take Xiu Zhe to Skadi's dormitory, as the king of a country, Skadi can be said to be extremely busy, Hutton Marr is in ruins, the Delos Empire is eyeing up, and there are too many things to deal with in the nobility of the principality, such as open and secret battles among the nobles in the principality, and so on, so she has no time to deal with Xiu Zhe.
was taken to Lanyue Pavilion, and at this time, Yong Shili, who was dressed in white, sat at the desk and held a thick ancient book and was fascinated.
Lobach bowed slightly to Xiu Zhe and quickly retreated, Xiu Zhe did not disturb Yong Shili sat quietly on the chair, thinking about what the mysterious woman she met in the cave said before she died.
What kind of monster will hold a thousand blades? Octopus? Xiu Zhe smiled bitterly and shook his head, he really hadn't seen an octopus monster that had become a spirit.
"I asked that old man in GSD to investigate the mysterious woman who appeared in the Cave of Sorrows, he just came back yesterday and only handed me an ancient book, as for the origin of the woman, he didn't even have a clue about the origin of the woman, but he said that it should have nothing to do with the black nightmare." Yong Shili closed the ancient book, looked at Xiu Zhe and said softly.
"Really..."Xiu Zhe sighed, a little helpless, and even a little unmotivated.
"However, according to legend, there is a mysterious church organization that records secrets that the world does not know, and I think there should be clues to the identity of the mysterious woman who attacked us in the Cave of Sorrow." Looking at Xiu Zhe's straightened figure, Yong Shi smiled and continued: "GrandBlueLore, which means Great Blue Truth, is referred to as GBL Sect. ”
Xiu Zhe didn't understand what kind of church this was, so he touched his nose and said, "Where is this church?" ”
Yong Shili stretched out her index finger and pointed to the top of her head and said, "Heaven." ”
"Celestial?" Xiu Zhe's eyes narrowed slightly, he knew very little about the heavenly realm, and he didn't even know how to get there.
"It's not the Celestial Realm, it's the high altitude between the Arad Continent and the Celestial Realm. According to the ancient book that the old man gave me at GSD, the Heavenly Veil Behemoth that is beyond human cognition has been in the Principality of Belmar once in twenty years, but it will only hover in Sky City for half a year. And that GBL Sect is above the back of the Heavenly Veil Behemoth, and it just so happens that next month is the time period when the Heavenly Veil Behemoth appears once in twenty years. ”
Xiu Zhe raised his eyebrows when he heard Yong Shili's remarks, and was obviously shocked by the news.
"The Celestial Veil is a giant whale that soars above the skies, and legend has it that it is larger than the entire Duchy of Belmar." Yong Shili carefully put the ancient book aside and continued: "If you want to investigate the mysterious woman who appeared in the Cave of Sorrow, this is a good way. ”
"O Sky City," Xiu Zhe muttered, the towering tower on the border of the west coast that jutted into the sky was Sky City, and it was also the only passage from the Arad Continent to the Heavenly Realm.
"Recently, the magical barrier outside the Sky City to block outsiders from entering has become weaker and weaker, and the Delos Empire has also increased its guards, and if you want to enter it, you must have an entry permit signed by Queen Skadi." Yong Shili smiled nonchalantly: "This matter is on me, I will ask Sister Skadi to give us two permits." ”
Xiu Zhe smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Do you really want to enter the Sky City with me?" It's hard to say what kind of situation it is, and what kind of danger it will encounter. ”
Yong Shili's silver-blue eyebrows rose for three points, and she looked a little displeased: "You promised me to take me on an adventure last time!" ”
Looking at Yong Shili's appearance, it seemed that if she didn't take her this time, she wouldn't even give her permission to enter the city, and in desperation, Xiu Zhe could only touch the tip of her nose and said: "Okay, but let's say okay, once you encounter danger, you must not be like in the Sorrowful Cave, do you have to run?" ”
"Do you care about me?" Yong Shili smiled playfully, making Xiu Zhe sigh in his heart, this guy changed his face faster than turning a book.
"yes." Xiu Zhe admitted it frankly, which made Yong Shili stunned, but there was no trace of love in Xiu Zhe's eyes, but it was more out of the concern of a good friend, which made Yong Shili feel a little awkward.
"I've been in retreat for a while recently, but it won't delay us from entering Sky City, and I'll be out when the Heavenly Veil Behemoth appears next month, when I've already stepped into the Awakened realm. What about you? Did you sense that you were about to break through? Yong Shili said softly.
"No one has shown me the way to step into the realm of the Awakened, and the direction of my cultivation is also different from that of ordinary people, and whether or not I have contact with that realm should have no effect on me." Xiu Zhe shrugged his shoulders and looked extremely relaxed, he only needed to improve his ability to fit with ghosts and gods, and at the same time, the power he could borrow would also increase geometrically with the increase of fit.
"That's it..."Yong Shili didn't ask much, as long as he is a person who has stepped into the path of cultivation, he understands that once he becomes an awakened person, he will usher in a qualitative change, and Xiu Zhe will not understand, and now that he is so light-hearted, he must have really found the way he should go.
"If it's okay, I'm going to retreat now, you can stay with me for the time being, and the maid will bring you three meals a day." Yong Shili stood up and twisted a small ornament on the table, and suddenly the wall behind the desk showed a secret door.
Xiu Zhe didn't have a place to live anyway, so he simply lived in Yong Shili's dormitory, and the classical decoration here didn't make Xiu Zhe feel as uncomfortable as other girls' boudoirs.
When Dai Yeyun, who was wearing a black and white maid outfit, brought dinner that night, Xiu Zhe also felt crying and laughing, this feeling was just like the life in the Imperial Sword Academy back then.
Dai Yeyun was a little surprised to see Xiu Zhe's changes, but he still bowed slightly to Xiu Zhe very politely, and set his portion of dinner away. Now the identities of the two are completely different, Dai Yeyun is still the maid who serves Yong Shili, Ke Xiuzhe is already a guest of the Duchy of Belmar, and is even favored by Queen Skadi.
Xiu Zhe remembered that when he accidentally saw the naked back of Yong Shili who was still using the pseudonym 'Ning Jiu', Dai Yeyun almost wanted to kill himself, and couldn't help but want to laugh a little.
Looking at the table full of sumptuous dishes, Xiu Zhe also had a big appetite and ate the food into his stomach, while Dai Yeyun was standing on the side waiting for Xiu Zhe to finish eating and she could clean up the dishes.
When Dai Yeyun brought a light breakfast the next day, he was still standing diagonally opposite Xiu Zhe and waiting for Xiu Zhe to finish eating.
"Don't stand there and watch me eat, I'm a little uncomfortable, can you sit down?。。" Xiu Zhe put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at Dai Yeyun, who was motionless like a statue, and said helplessly.
Dai Yeyun nodded, sat down, put his legs together, leaned his knees to the right, his heels dangling, and his toes on the ground, looking very self-contained.
Xiu Zhe didn't have anything to say to Dai Yeyun, and after eating, he began to meditate cross-legged, immersing his consciousness in the illusion created by Kazan to hone his swordsmanship, and sometimes he only needed his mind to practice the sword, and he didn't have to hold the sword in his hand.
Time passed quickly, and Xiu Zhe, who was concentrating on cultivation in the palace, didn't know that countless adventurers in the outside world had now been made enthusiastic by the news of the imminent appearance of the Heavenly Curtain Giant Beast, so far only Sodros and GSD had passed through the Sky City and climbed the back of the Heavenly Curtain Giant Beast to contact the GBL Sect, and even none of the Four Sword Saints had ever climbed the Heavenly Curtain Giant Beast, so it was rumored that whoever could see the GBL Sect could become the next swordsman above the Four Sword Saints.
These gossips came out of Dai Yeyun's mouth, which made Xiu Zhe feel a little funny, that is, the eldest Xilan was still an unknown little swordsman twenty years ago, not to mention the giant beast that climbed the heavenly curtain, and even the magic array outside the sky city could not pass through, and Sodros and GSD only knew some things that the world did not know, and they did not get a transformation in power there.
But those who listen to the rumors don't care if the rumors are true or not, especially now that the magic array that prevents humans from entering the Sky City has gradually weakened, this is the perfect opportunity to enter the Sky City, climb the Heavenly Veil Behemoth, contact the GBL Sect, and see the secrets that the world does not know, although it is difficult to obtain the entry permit signed by Queen Skadi, and there are heavy guards of the Delos Empire outside, but it is not that no one sneaks into the Sky City.
