Chapter 355: About the Fourth Ring
"Wait a minute, you let me sort out my thoughts first." Major General Azisa Malloyn reached out and pressed her forehead, and after a long while, she said, "You killed all the high-ranking members of the Cult of All Souls and a group of Lumina rebels in Lumina last year, right?" ”
Yu Lian nodded.
"They are all Imperials?"
"It's hard to say about the Cult of All Souls, it should be just one of the snake's vests, but the Imperial side may know about it. The Lumina rebels already have ample evidence that the Empire is behind it. The Astral Knight named Colmore was even a reserve. ”
“…… Then you dismantle an Imperial Fortress on the Far Shore Nebula, take out an Imperial Marquis, and capture two of the Empire's up-and-coming warships. That's right? ”
"There is also an Imperial Lieutenant General, plus a captured space bubble torpedo. However, this is not my own credit, but the credit of everyone in the Thirteenth Fleet, and I have only made a small contribution to it. ”
With such insincere polite words, Azhisha didn't even bother to complain: "Even if the empire is sluggish, it should figure out who attacked them, right?" ”
"They figured it out two months ago. Just after the New Year, an Imperial fleet had assembled outside the Lucknar Corridor. The Far Shore Military Region is a great enemy. The two sides almost went off the rails. The Outer Ring Fleet is even ready to assemble and rush to the far shore to support. Of course, fortunately, the top brass on both sides are not crazy. ”
“…… And then, they actually invited you to the empire at this time? ”
"If they hadn't made such a respectful formal invitation, the labor and management would not have been able to go." Yu Lian said proudly.
You're a proud fart! Azhisha couldn't help but roll her eyes, in all fairness, she was able to make this action with her eyes all the time, it was really amazing.
"So, was your head trampled on by the Ten Thousand Beasts last time?"
"Hey, Madam Commander, Sister Azisha, you don't understand! Admire the feeling that the enemy hates you so much that he grits his teeth but always can't help you, this is the romance of men! I went to the Empire, and they had to keep me safe...... Huh? It feels as if I've already said it once somewhere. In addition, of course, I have an important mission to go to the Empire, and I really have to do it. ”
Azisha Mallowen looked at Yu Lian faintly, naturally there was no emotion in her fake eyes, but there was a lot of sadness and grief in her real eyes. Some kind of solemn aura that has a substance is almost condensed into a storm of sorrow.
Just when Yu Lian subconsciously felt that Major General Mallovin might be going to beat him, the other party's eyes suddenly dimmed.
"Oh, I'm stupid, really!" She rolled her eyes and continued, "I only know that people like you will always get a response as long as they treat them sincerely, but I have forgotten that people like you are not mentally stable and are always keen to die...... Alas, it's all my fault! ”
Yu Lian finally couldn't hold back his goosebumps from falling to the ground, and said with a sneer: "Look at what you said, my current position is still hanging on the Community Guard." Aren't you still my immediate superior, no matter where you go? The so-called life is a person of the Blue Guard, and death is the death of the Blue Guard......"
"Come on. With the speed of your promotion, it is estimated that you may surpass me in a few years. You're now three-ringed, and you've got the far shore nebula, and I'm betting you'll be able to wear this fig leaf for a month at most, believe it or not? Major General Mallovin pointed to the rank of major that Yu Lian had pinned to his collar.
"Look at what you said, no matter how you get promoted, you have to pay attention to the rules of the organization!" Yu Lian said helplessly.
"You're a psyker, and you have a track record, so you're privileged." She sneered, and then changed her tone of resentment: "When the time comes, will you still remember such a small pond as the Community Guard?" Don't pretend you don't know me. Alas, it was really a mistake! ”
Yu Lian felt that all the artists he met tonight were performing artists, His Excellency the Chairman of the Committee, and so was Major General Mallovin, and he said that if he added a play, he would add a play, and he didn't care whether others could stand it or not. He then smiled, and then directly changed the subject: "Speaking of the words of the Ten Thousand Beasts......
"Look, look, it's starting to change the subject."
"It's really hard, and if it weren't for my comrades-in-arms who also blew it up, I wouldn't have been able to clean it up."
"For a little boy like you, my sister really understands it too well."
"The last time I brushed it, I reached the peak of the three rings, what advice do you have for the next step of growth?"
"That's why I feel so pitiful...... Wait a minute! Three rings? Or is it the pinnacle? I remember, the last time you left the earth, it was still the second ring, right? This time, Ms. General was really shocked.
"Hey, it's not a big deal. In this world, it is not uncommon for a super genius who has been six or seven rings in adolescence to appear. ”
"That's only once in a few hundred years, and it's basically a legend!" Major General Mallovin couldn't help but press his temples, and then took out the crystal eyes that he began to twitch and adjusted them for a long time, and after a long time, he finally calmed down his unbalanced mentality, and said, "You are balanced, right?" ”
Seeing that Yu Lian nodded, the latter said: "The balanced four-ring ceremony needs to be held between 21 and 22 o'clock on the third or seventeenth day of each month, to find the direction of the Libra constellation, so that your spiritual energy can be derived in that direction, trying to find the resonance between the inner and outer universes." Then, draw the Middel Formation and the Favre Formation at three o'clock and six o'clock respectively, and then the ceremony can be held. ”
Azhisha thought for a moment and added seriously: "If you prepare a little more high-quality zero element, it is best to have a constitution crystal, a spirit crystal, a perception crystal, a wisdom crystal, and a strength gem and an agility gem, the success rate will be higher." It is also better for the mental and physical tempering."
Yu Lian was really stunned this time, if it weren't for the fear that people would misunderstand with the observers outside the big universe, I am afraid that I would have rushed over and hugged them and kissed them.
He had already made up his mind that if he couldn't find it in the library, he would go to Uncle Wang's mentor to inquire, and even ask for help from the Everything Sharing Foundation.
"I have an elder who is also balanced." Azhisha mentioned it casually, but obviously she didn't want to continue the topic too much, and said, "You can apply for the Ascending Ring Materials to the Community Guard, and the army can still afford this kind of materials." Of course, at the rate of your progress, in a few years, you will probably have to figure it out yourself. ”
Major General Mallovin means that the mysterious material reserves in the hands of the army and the government can still supply the third and fourth rings of Yu Lian. But when it really reached the high ring above the sage, the materials needed became more and more scarce, and at that time, it was not understandable to rely on the power of the public.
However, more than 95 percent of psykers have never seen or touched the world of the Fourth Ring in their entire lives, and naturally they will not think about the preciousness of freedom. For "ordinary" psionics, having a backer means that they can do whatever they want! It's no wonder that the current transcendents like to be "court eagle dogs", especially those "scattered people" who have no background and inheritance.
"If you're going to prepare for the ceremony right away, I'll be able to send the materials over in a few days." Major General Mallovin said.
Yu Lian organized: "In addition, I also heard that after arriving at the third ring, if each ring ascension ceremony is held in the virtual realm, it will be more helpful for the future strength improvement, right?" ”
The major general couldn't help but be stunned, and her face immediately sank: "Where did you hear this?" Which mouthy dead leftover of the Cult of All Souls? ”
"So be it." It's nice to take down a cult! If there is any unreasonable situation, it will be directly pushed on their heads. In this way, Sect Leader Flores Wanda is simply the beloved relative and friend of this hero!
"Did the cultist tell you how dangerous it could be?"
Yu Lian shrugged: "However, risks have always coexisted with returns. There is a rumor that says that the more powerful the psyker is, the stronger the spiritual connection with the Void. The sooner you adapt to the spiritual influence of the virtual realm in advance, the easier it will be to find an opportunity to break through the realm in the future. ”
However, that was only a small rumor. Even the Void Spirit Temple has already sent official notes from the major transcendent organizations in the universe. They made it clear that holding a promotion ceremony in the Shroud would not affect the final strength, at least at the moment there was no solid evidence to prove it. Therefore, it is advisable for young psionics not to die. ”
Azhisha paused for a moment, and pointed to herself again: "Sister, I'm an archaeologist, and now I'm in the fifth ring, and every progress is a matter of course, and I didn't deliberately add danger, and I have your strength today!" I've experienced a lot of adventures and battles so far, but I've never felt like I was enough. ”
Major General Azhisha stepped forward, patted Yu Lian's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Young man, don't be too ambitious. You're good enough, so why don't you slow down, get grounded, and wait for your friends and family? ”
Yu Lian sighed in his heart, this is the common problem of "academic" psionics, and it is also the biggest reason that hinders Azhisha from going further. But no matter what, this eldest sister is also for her own good, so Yu Lian decided not to argue with her.
"What you're saying is, I'll be down-to-earth." Yu Lian nodded sincerely.
The general nodded: "I will prepare the materials for you." 14 Pure Attribute Zero Element Each Piece, Where to Send It? Your home in Jincheng? ”
Yu Lian was very moved, although the "Imperial Court Eagle Dog" has this benefit, but the zero element is not a cabbage after all. When he was unlucky, it would take him a year and a half to wait for a promotion material that suited him, but for the sake of insurance, he still said: "But the lower official is still ready to go to the empire." ”
“…… Alas! After all, it was a mistake! There are hard-hearted people in this world who can't be hot! The major general's sister began to wipe her tears with tears again, but unfortunately she still wiped it on her fake eye.
So, Yu Lian decided to change the topic again bluntly: "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, why did you participate in the chairman's party this time?" Is he ready to woo you too? ”
"Everyone knows that I'm just an overguarded temporary commander, and I don't need to take sides in politics. It's just that Melali is a classmate of mine at university, and she personally invited me to participate, so it would be too deliberate for me to avoid suspicion. Hehe, thanks to her, I have met a lot of high-quality and good men! There are a few single among them, so it's better to think about it carefully and marry yourself. ”
"Heh, I thought it was the chairman's wife who was also ready to be promoted, and I wanted to ask you for materials, and then go to the Blue Guard's account." Yu Lian said with a smile.
Azisa Mallorwin's eyes seemed to flicker, and her smile seemed to stiffen a little: "She is different from me, she has been well-dressed and well-fed since she was a child, and she has a happy family and a happy life when she grows up, she has never lacked anything, and spiritual cultivation is completely a hobby, and she is not forced to be promoted." Hey, these are all adult business, little boys can't take care of it! ”
She was dumbfounded, ready to leave. However, before leaving, as if he had just remembered something, he added: "
After saying goodbye to Major General Mallovin, Yu Lian did not return to Coral City, and after telling Liuli that they were safe, he transferred the automatic driving path to the Halo 2000, put the seat flat, and slept directly in the car. By the time he woke up, he had already come to the outskirts of his hometown of Jincheng.
Yu Lian carried the souvenirs brought by Lumina and New Seville, swaggered into Rong downstairs, and the first thing he saw was his aunt's surprised smile.
He lived comfortably at home for three days, helping his uncle and aunt cook and take care of the store every day, and also supervising An An and Lele's learning progress by the way. Occasionally, I walked aimlessly through the old streets of my hometown. He lived a very leisurely life, and felt that his body and mind were 100% healed.
The only thing that is not perfect is that Fei Fei is not at home, so Uncle Wei on the other side completely let go of himself, and still disappeared and left the dojo to the disciples. It is said that I am going to participate in some martial arts exchange event again. But Yu Lian guessed that he must have followed a group of fox friends and dog friends to where to spend all day drinking.
On the third day, March 17, Major General Azisa had also delivered the promised Zero Element.
A lean and burly middle-aged man arrived at the Rong downstairs with four equally powerful subordinates. Although they were dressed in civilian clothes, their fierce temperament and solemn expressions made them look like experienced armed men.
However, looking at their trembling appearance as if they were walking on thin ice, it looked like they were escorting a cash truck.
It wasn't until Yu connected the small box they had sent them, opened and examined the six thumb-sized crystals inside, and confirmed that it was really a high-purity attribute crystal, that they were greatly relieved.
People's reaction is also understandable, don't look at the escort is a small box, but compared to a fully loaded cash truck, it's really hard to say who is more valuable.
"It's so hard, let's stay for a meal." My aunt didn't know what these people were sending, but seeing that these elite men were about to be tossed to the point of mental breakdown, she was a little embarrassed, so she beckoned: "We Rong went downstairs for the dishes, but who is the ...... Who's the fish? ”
"Marshal Perris."
"Yes, Marshal Pai thinks it's delicious."
The middle-aged man at the head, a sergeant major of the internal security force, was obviously a little moved, but after hesitating for a moment, he still saluted and said loudly: "Report to the chief." We, the Community Guard, Earth Wing, escort your materials and arrive safely. We, don't eat! ”
If you don't eat, you won't eat, right? It's like I'm forcing you to swallow arsenic, yes? Just because I killed your former leader, is it such a big psychological shadow?
Yu Lian had dinner with his uncle's family again, and said goodbye to his family early in the morning of the 18th. He rushed to the Azov Islands to pay a visit to Mr. Sonny Grant.
There are some things that Agisha Marrow doesn't know, but someone will know. For example, Uncle Wang's brothers and sisters.
