Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Brief Reunion
Lin Yang and the Brain Eater followed the camel caravan all the way to the east, and a few days later, they came to the junction of the mountains.
"Over these mountains, is it your territory?" The brain-eater asked, in the past few days, Lin Yang had already conveyed his basic strength to the other party.
"Well, let's go." Nodding, Lin Yang took the lead in stepping forward.
There are no roads in the mountains, overgrown with weeds and ancient trees. And all kinds of wild beasts roared, and birds and insects fished.
The journey was safe, and they did not encounter any powerful beasts, and a few days later, the two successfully crossed the mountains and came to the knight's territory.
"This ......" Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin Yang couldn't help but be speechless.
The original horse bandit base has been transformed into an advance base, and the low wall has also been renovated, and now it is almost two meters high.
What is surprising is the environment around the forward base, it turned out to be a verdant land, all kinds of trees, lush, but at the moment the surrounding area is desolate, not a single grass grows, it is simply a barren land.
It stretches for a few kilometers to see a little bit of greenery.
After three years of absence, I didn't expect so much to change here.
"Master!" In the depths of Lin Yang's soul, there was a shout, followed by a small black dot, which quickly came from a distance, gradually getting bigger, it was the mother nest.
When he left three years ago, Lin Yang remembered very well that the brood was only the size of a human head, and it was simply an enlarged version of a beetle. At this moment, the brood has become the size of a water tank, and although the appearance has not changed much, it has obviously evolved to the second order.
"You have eaten the trees and weeds around here?" Lin Yang touched the carapace of the mother nest as if he were a beloved pet and asked.
"Hmm." The brood nodded, looked at the brain eater, and said vigilantly: "Master, this guy is very dangerous. ”
"My own people, nothing to do." Lin Yang sneered, looked left and right, and asked, "What have you built in the past three years?" ”
"Fifty worker bees, fifty worker ants, all foraging outside." "A year after you left, I evolved to the second order, and I can create more troops, but you haven't come back, so I'm just making worker bees and worker ants during this time. ”
"Uh......" Lin Yang was stunned, it seems that this guy's wisdom is still not enough, if he wants to achieve his mother's wisdom, he must continue to evolve.
"Don't talk about that, Lily and Anna are alright? Take me to see them. With that, Lin Yang couldn't wait to walk towards the forward base.
……
As soon as he walked to the gate of the advance base, Lin Yang suddenly realized that something was wrong and hurriedly retreated!
"Where did the yellow-haired boy come from, he dared to break into our base!" There was a loud roar, and then I saw a two-meter-tall, burly, fang-baring half-orc berserker, covered in dark green skin, wearing animal skin clothes, wielding a huge two-handed giant hammer in his hand, and slammed it towards the door.
"Boom!"
There was a loud bang, and the ground was suddenly smashed into a large crater several meters wide, and dust was everywhere.
Lily and Anna hurriedly ran out of the base, at this moment Lin Yang was still the appearance of an ordinary teenager in the academy, no one recognized it, and they couldn't help but pick up their weapons and surround them.
"What are you doing here?" Lin Yang couldn't help but smile, spread his hands, and said with a wry smile: "Even I can't recognize it?" ”
"Are you ......" Hearing Lin Yang's voice, Lily and Anna both said incredulously: "Are you Lin Yang?" ”
"Are you really Lin Yang?" Anna's eyes widened and she repeated.
"Who can pretend to be me to lie to you?" There was a crackling sound of bones all over his body, and Lin Yang gradually revealed his true face.
"It's really you!" After not seeing each other for three years, Lin Yang suddenly came back, Lily and Anna were extremely excited, and the two girls couldn't help but rush over and give Lin Yang a big bear hug.
The half-orc berserker was stunned, immediately knelt on his knees, hugged his fists and said: "The subordinates have eyes but no beads, and they don't recognize the master, please punish the master!" ”
Anna hurriedly explained, and Lin Yang understood.
It turned out that this half-orc berserker was named Simon, after Lin Yang left, Simon accidentally passed by the knight collar, because of some contradictions, he once had a big fight with Anna, and he was beaten down, and he was convinced, and then he stayed in the forward base and became one of them.
"Those who do not know are not guilty, so get up." Lin Yang said with a smile, introduced the Brain Eater to everyone, and then walked into the forward base and asked, "What about Huo'er?" Why didn't you see her? ”
"Well, this ......," Lily said with some hesitation.
"Something happened to Huo'er?" Lin Yang frowned.
"No, it's just that she's still asleep." Anna added.
"......" Lin Yang shook his head and sighed: "After sleeping for three years, I can't describe her, I have long told her not to drink all those divine blood in one go, but she just doesn't listen to ......"
……
Everyone sat down in the hall one after another, and after three years of not seeing each other, everyone seemed a little excited.
In the past three years, everyone has changed.
The first is the mother nest, Lin Yang was still just born when he left, only the first order, and now his body size is enough for a large water tank.
Lily was originally only level 100, but now she has reached level 200, and her skin is actually a little darker than before, and it seems that she often goes out to hunt in the mountains.
Anna has currently reached level 300, the highest level among all the people present, Lin Yang carefully recalled that three years ago, Anna seemed to be stuck at level 230.
Simon was only more than 100 levels when he first arrived at the knight's territory, and after hard training, he is now level 280 and is about to catch up with Anna.
The Brain Eater is an exception, originally his strength was simply against the sky, up to more than 2,000 levels, comparable to a demigod, due to various reasons, he was stagnant at level 250, and he couldn't make any more progress, otherwise he wouldn't follow Lin Yang.
As for the fire...... She is the most disparity one, her strength is already very strong before she sleeps, and it is not a problem to suppress ordinary legends, and what will change after awakening, no one can say.
Lin Yang couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, the problem of the yin and yang decline of his subordinates that he had been worried about had finally been solved.
"Lin Yang, now you are a powerful magician, right?" Lily said excitedly, "What did you learn at the Jackdaw Castle Mage Academy?" How about showing your hands to everyone? ”
Lin Yang couldn't help but feel a little helpless, in fact, the days he stayed in the academy were no more than half a year at most, and these three years were all spent in a plane where birds don't, and the magic he learned, to be honest, basically mastered all the low-level spells, and only partially mastered the middle-level spells, not to mention the higher-level spells, if you really want to count it, at most he is just a second-rate magician, and there is still a distance from the word powerful.
What's even more depressing is that Lin Yang's level has barely improved at all.
Lin Yang sighed at the moment: "It's hard to say, in short, it's not as simple as you think." ”
So, Lin Yang told all kinds of experiences in the past three years.
After listening, everyone was shocked.
"A plane that doesn't exist!" Simon exclaimed, "Hearing the name makes people feel scary!" If it were me, there would be absolutely no way to escape from there! ”
Lily and Anna have similar views.
"How's it going over there in Little Rock Village?" Lin Yang asked.
"Chief Barton has renovated the dilapidated Knight's Castle, and now he is the head of the Knight's Domain, while we are in the background." Anna explains: "After Barton's careful management, Xiaoshi Village has been lively again in recent years, attracting many wilderness people from the surrounding area to settle down, and the first bar, the first inn, and the first teahouse in the village have been built...... And so on and so forth, which can be regarded as quite accomplished. ”
"Where's the old lord?" This is a question that Lin Yang has always been concerned about.
"The old lord is old and his health is not as good as it is a year, and I have recently heard that he has a serious illness, and has just regained his life from the hands of death, and his days are running out......," said Lily.
"Hmm......" Lin Yang touched his nose, the old lord was old and should not be afraid, but his eldest son Haken had always been a concern for Lin Yang, and before leaving, Lin Yang solemnly instructed that once the old lord died, Haken would most likely be the first to take their knight collar after he succeeded to the throne.
"You have to plan ahead...... Lin Yang sighed and pointed out the attribute panel of the brood.
The brood has now successfully evolved to the second order, and the types of troops that can be created are several more types in addition to worker bees, worker ants, and humans with only 1% resolution. This made Lin Yang very satisfied, after all, worker bees and worker ants are still used to forage more often, and they are of little significance in combat.
Ant-Man: An evolved version of the Worker Ant that can use simple human weapons.
Mantis Man: Resembling a praying mantis, the two blade-like forelimbs are not weak in lethality, and have the ability to fly at low altitudes over short distances.
Lizardmen: A class that uses the lizard's as a template, with a tongue and claws that can be used as weapons, and has the ability to dash short distances.
"Anna, you know the brood best, the three classes of the second order, which one do you recommend?" Lin Yang tilted his head and asked.
"Ant-Man." Anna didn't think about it, and said directly: "Although the other two seem to have their own innate advantages, one can fly short distances, and the other can sprint short distances, but neither of them can use human weapons. Ant-Man, on the other hand, can use a bow and arrow for long-range strikes, and simple swords, hammers and axes for melee attacks. ”
"Then choose Ant-Man." Lin Yang nodded and said, "Brood, your next goal is to create a hundred Ant-Men!" Go all out, when will it be finished, when will it be stopped! ”
"Yes, master." With that, the brood turned around and prepared to go out to feed.
"Wait." Lin Yang paused and said, "The surrounding animals and plants are almost eaten by you, this time I went to a farther place to forage for food, I don't want to be a sinner who turned the mountains into deserts." ”
After ordering this, Lin Yang let out a long sigh.
Covered in a cloak and with a hat on his head, the Braineater stares straight at the distant brood, seemingly interested in the seeds of war and destruction.
"Lin Yang, what are you going to do next?" Anna and Lily looked at each other and asked in unison.
"I don't know what to do, the academy must get in touch, even if they all think I'm truant, missing, or dead, I have to give an explanation." Patting his ass and getting up from the chair, Lin Yang smiled: "But before that, I'm going to go see Huo'er first." ”
……
The room is still the same, desk, wardrobe, bench, big bed, chandelier.
A gentle breeze blows in through the window, and the curtains rise and fall.
Huo'er lay peacefully on the bed, with long golden-red hair, slightly closed eyes, a red dress, a hint of golden-red light in her snow-white and delicate skin, and her appearance had hardly changed from three years ago.
Lin Yang sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand and rubbed the other party's hair, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, don't wake up soon, the sun is about to dry your butt!" ”
Huo'er pursed her lips, but there was no sign of waking up after all.
After nightfall, Lin Yang packed up his package, gave some instructions after the last time, and took advantage of the night to leave the advance base with the brain eater.
"Why don't you leave me at base?" The brain-eater was a little puzzled.
"The prohibition on you, and the mysterious woman who defeated you......" Lin Yang said with a straight face, "I suspect it has something to do with the long-lost female dean of the Jackdaw Fort Mage Academy." ”
"Even if it's really related, the other party may not be able to help you and me." The Brain Eater reminded.
"You can only take one step at a time, let's figure out the situation first."
……
In the early morning of the next day, the news of Lin Yang's return to the knight realm reached Barton.
After learning the news, without saying a word, he immediately gathered dozens of villagers, took chickens, ducks and fish, and went to the forward base, preparing to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Lin Yang.
In his words, it is: "Without Lin Yang's help at the beginning, there would be no Xiaoshi Village where we are today!" ”
It's a pity that when the group walked up to the forward base and learned that Lin Yang had left last night, their expressions changed from excitement to loss.
But the celebration has to continue, otherwise there is no reason to take so many chickens, ducks, fish, meat and wine and delicacies?
So, on this day, there was a big feast, and the advance base had never been so lively, almost overcrowded.
Even though the celebratory party was no longer present, the banquet was still in full swing from morning to evening.
