Chapter 123: Fifth-level Demon Fighter
The lieutenant who guarded the border was named Guo Lun, and although he was also a viscount, he was the last person in their family to hold the title of nobility.
His title was inherited from his father, who had died three years ago in the battle to defend the Beast Tide, so he had a hostile attitude towards all matters on the border, after all, only the border would have such a thing as the Beast Tide.
"Soldiers guarding the gate, please open the gate, we have to pass!"
Mo Lun is now a noble guard, and coupled with his own soaring strength, he naturally does not mince words about these soldiers.
However, after this Guo talked about this place, he was very domineering, because there was no main general, so he took care of all the big and small affairs and met some big teams to clear the customs, which must be reported to him for approval.
So the soldiers on the pass immediately reported the incident, Guo Yan stood on the high wall and looked down at Tang Lin and his party, looking at the well-armored team, he was first surprised, thinking that this might be a very remarkable figure sitting in it.
However, it soon became clear from the documents submitted by the other party that this was just a new wild nobleman.
The so-called wild aristocracy is the name of the new nobles who have no backing in their aristocratic circles.
Such an aristocrat is weak, without a huge family to back it up, and if it is not a nobleman at the earl level, it is actually not particularly worthy of attention.
Therefore, this Guo Yan became arrogant again, he stood at the head of the city, looked at Tang Lin arrogantly, and told him that he needed to wait for a comprehensive inspection before he could clear the customs.
"Mo Lun, you know more about mainland affairs, let me tell you, do you need such trouble to clear customs and enter Beijing with such an identity?"
Tang Lin was very dissatisfied, because in his mind, he was invited to the imperial capital, and he should travel all the way unhindered, why should he suffer such difficulties.
Sure enough, Merlun told him that they were ordered by the Son of Heaven to travel this time, and they did not have to stick to common sense, as long as they had a certificate of nobility and no more than 500 private soldiers with them, they could travel unhindered along the way.
"In that case, he is deliberately embarrassing me!"
Tang Lin's face immediately fell, he would never be polite to such a guy.
"Then Mo Lun, if I beat him up directly, will there be any problems!"
Tang Lin was already wondering whether to mess with him, so that the other party would know that he was not a soft egg, he kneaded it if he wanted to.
"This scoring situation, first of all, you have to make sure that he has no background, then you have to determine whether he has any special identity, and then you have to be famous!"
"It's so troublesome, if he has an identity, wouldn't I be bullied to death by him!"
Tang Lin was very angry, but Mo Lun quickly told him the good news, that is, this guy would definitely not have any identity.
According to Mo Lun's analysis, nobles with status would not be so unlucky to be stationed in such a remote pass, in this direction, but it is often necessary to guard against the beast tide, and the danger factor is extremely high.
Then there is the fact that nobles with backgrounds usually do not choose to offend a new nobleman, because their good education and sense of the big picture do not allow them to offend a new nobleman whom they do not fully understand, even if the nobleman is now powerless.
Finally, and most crucially, all the nobles of the big families will have a family crest, which is a supreme honor, and they will not take it off even if they die. And there is no such thing in this person at all.
So to sum up, this guy is a down-and-out aristocrat, and he stopped Jiang purely because of his red eyes!
"Oh, Merron, next time you can just say the most critical analysis, and you don't need to show me your powerful reasoning skills!"
After Tang Lin got the information he wanted, he felt very excited, and he decided to meet this guy.
Therefore, he directly activated the Demon Dou Qi, using the wind energy to hold himself in mid-air and directly meet the other party's line of sight.
At the same time, Lao Lu, Irina and the three elders of the Shi clan also floated up directly to guard him.
"What's your name, down-and-out nobleman, I entered the imperial capital this time, it was ordered by the emperor, if you forcibly stop it, I will let you know my anger!"
The scene that should be talked about still has to be talked about, after all, people are also aristocrats, and they are still responsible here, so they always have to give face.
"You dare to threaten the border guards, come on, prepare for battle!"
Guo Yan roared angrily, but not many people responded, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while.
"Haha, it's the first time I've seen a general who can't command his own soldiers, you're not a little worse than me, just like when I was on the battlefield of the ruins, even if I didn't have the title of general, I still commanded all directions!"
Tang Lin bragged, but he completely woke up this Guo Yan, he knew the ruin battlefield, and he also knew that the ruin battlefield had opened a few months ago.
At this moment, he looked at Tang Lin carefully, and did not find any special badges on his body, but those who could enter the ruins battlefield were not ordinary people, so he was also directly cowardly.
"Guo Yan, the deputy general of the No. 2 Pass of the Fallen Leaf Empire, has offended a lot, please Haihan!"
Tang Lin was ready to make a move, but this guy confessed, which made Tang Lin a little confused for a while.
I secretly said in my heart: "Can't you be hard for a while, why don't you let me move my muscles and bones!"
"Oh, it's okay, you're also dutiful, you can't offend me, but it should be very hard for you to stay here, after all, in two or three months, the beast tide will start again!"
Tang Lin saw that the other party didn't put up a fight with him, and it was not easy for them to hold it, so he landed directly on the city wall, and then chatted with the other party.
"What you said is good, but that is also my chance, I am here, if I can make contributions in the beast tide, then it will definitely go further, and there will be hope for the revitalization of the Guo family at that time!"
Hearing him say this, Tang Lin really admired Mo Lun, this guy's analysis is really not wrong at all.
"I am the master of the Chaos Manor on the edge of the Black Forest, if the beast tide breaks out at that time, I will send someone to deliver a message to you!"
Tang Lin decided to form a good fate, because maybe under what circumstances in the future, he will be able to use it, such a person belongs to the kind of ambitious villain, and he can't be offended the most, so at this moment, Tang Lin is still a little grateful to him for admitting it in advance.
"You're the new owner of the Ghost Castle?"
Guo Yan was immediately surprised, he only knew that the ghost castle had given birth to a new owner, but he didn't know that the owner of the ghost castle was so young and so strong.
Not long ago, the remnants of a mercenary group had entered the customs from him, but he saw the misery of the other party, and the same mercenary group also came out of his own customs earlier and said that he was going to destroy the ghost castle!
Comparing the before and after, he obviously knew that they had failed miserably, and he could see that if it weren't for the ghost castle owner's unwillingness to kill them all, they wouldn't be able to keep these goods.
Therefore, at this time, knowing that the person in front of him was the lord of the ghost castle, the soles of his feet were a little weak, and he even began to recall his actions just now.
Then he clearly realized that he had actually walked on the edge of life and death, because he could feel that Tang Lin was angry before!
"Hey, you still know about the Ghost Castle, it seems that you are very familiar with this area."
Tang Lin felt that there were more topics between him and him, so he simply sat down.
"Of course I know that the ghost castle is still kind to our family, twenty-nine years ago, my father led his troops to support the defenders here, and finally drove all the way to the edge of the Black Forest. I thought I could end the beast tide.
Who knew that the second beast tide broke out, directly devouring most of my father's soldiers and horses, my father only took the guards to hide along the edge of the forest, and finally rushed to the range of the ghost castle, the beast tide did not dare to attack the ghost castle, he picked up his life!"
Guo Lun told a story, and Tang Lin immediately turned his head to look at Lao Lu, who did confirm that a group of soldiers from the Fallen Leaf Empire had broken into the vicinity of the manor more than twenty years ago, but because they had not entered the manor, he did not pay attention to them.
After chatting with this Guo Yan for a while, Tang Lin was ready to leave, after all, the destination of his trip was the imperial capital, although he had plenty of time, he couldn't waste it here, he still decided to cultivate more. to deal with a variety of special situations that may arise.
The horses he brought with him can at most make the various forces in the imperial capital not look down on him, but if there are really all kinds of competitions to show his face, he still has to rely on himself, after all, such a thing must be a friendship exchange, and he can't just send Lao Lu to slap someone to death!
Tang Lin quickly set off again and continued to enter the cultivation state, his level was now a fifth-level Dou Master and a fifth-level Magician, what he wanted to do at the moment was to reach a fifth-level Demon Dou Master.
He had already understood that this was not a matter of one plus one equaling two, and the attack power of the Demon Fighter was far beyond the effect of the simultaneous attack of the Wizard and the Fighter of the same level.
If he can reach the fifth-level Demon Fighter before entering the Imperial Capital, then he will firmly occupy the active position among the younger generation, and when the time comes, there will be no need to worry about any accidents.
Time passed quickly, and more than half a month had passed in the blink of an eye, but Tang Lin had never been able to find an opportunity to break through to the fifth-level Demon Dou Master.
However, in the past half a month, he has not gained nothing, because in addition to cultivation, he often takes some herbs to practice his hands, and now there are a lot of ordinary potions in the car.
By testing those potions, Tang Lin found that the potions made by his own hands, even if they were not of the traditional level, were several grades higher than those of the same type.
At the same time, Tang Lin was now a fifth-level magician, so his potions were also fifth-level.
Level 5 potions, even in the imperial capital, are still hot things, and even rare and precious types of potions are still priceless.
After learning this information, Tang Lin couldn't find a sense of accomplishment in his cultivation, so he leaned his time even more towards refining potions.
I don't know if it was affected by the continuous refining of potions, but in the end, he directly felt that he seemed to be one step closer to breaking through the fifth-level demon fighter.
Refining potions can also improve cultivation, which Tang Lin didn't expect, so after that, he was even more diligent in refining potions.
Soon, when Tang Lin ran his exercises again, he found that it was getting smoother and smoother.
So he's refining potions almost every day now, just taking some time back in the evening to see how much progress he's made.
He practiced all the way like this, and finally stopped the convoy when Mollen told him that he would return to the imperial capital in two days.
At this time, there were still more than ten days before the aristocratic exchange meeting, and they didn't need to be in such a hurry, so they decided to take a good rest nearby.
Tang Lin's proposal was supported by everyone, and he himself quietly began to think about his long-term gains, and gradually finally entered a very wonderful situation.
His whole person became extremely ethereal, and even his spirit body was directly separated, looking down on him, which made him have an even more wonderful feeling about his current state.
At this time, no one bothered him, so he was allowed to stay in this state.
Soon, some nobles from other directions also passed through here to rush to the imperial capital, and when they saw someone here, they all wanted to come over to say hello, but how could the warriors of the Shi clan let them get so close.
So they were directly blocked out, and the warriors of the Shi Clan have always only talked about action, so naturally it is inevitable to bring some conflict.
In the end, these conflicts were resolved by Lao Lu and disappeared.
The old guy kept looking at Tang Lin worriedly, for fear that he would sit down like this and never get up again.
In legend, there is a person who has attained enlightenment, who once sat directly in place and comprehended the stars and all things, and after hundreds of years, he ascended to become a god.
I don't know if this legend is true or not, but it is very shocking to spread it with a nose and eyes, since there is such a precedent, then Lao Lu's concern is not unreasonable.
But soon, Tang Lin moved, and after he sat for a whole day, white mist suddenly began to rise on his body, and then some small black-red mud-like objects appeared directly all over his body.
It's only a thin layer, but it looks amazing.
This is also the essence of purification, but this is after he felt some laws of heaven and earth, and got the baptism of power from the underworld.
Then, his momentum began to climb, and in less than half an hour, his momentum climbed to the highest, and then there was a popping sound as if someone had pierced a bag.
This sound was very subtle, and it was impossible to hear it if you didn't listen carefully, but it was this sound that made Tang Lin directly enter the ranks of fifth-level demon fighters.
Of course, it should be said that it was only after he entered the fifth-level Demon Dou Master that he had such a sound.
In the eyes of everyone, Tang Lin suddenly opened his eyes, and it turned out to be an invisible and qualitative energy that rushed directly to the ground in front of him, and then two pits appeared on the ground.
