Chapter 171: The Iron Curtain of the Firmament
"I'd like to, too, but, you know, those guys are messing around, and their business is bad."
The two were talking about the remaining four spots in the Seventh Academy.
These places were once auctioned for thousands of gold coins.
Luo Xia was already ready to collect the money.
As a result, the remaining 'chiefs' were stunned to beat the new 'classmates' who were stuffed in to cry and call their mothers, and when they turned around, they asked Luo Xia to refund the money and compensate for the medical expenses.
Not only did the business not work, but it also put a lot of it in.
Xue Jian laughed: "Hahaha, it's interesting." ”
Luo Xia was a little dissatisfied: "Do you usually talk like this?" ”
“???”
"Say two words to take a breath, a strong pretending style."
"Ahem, ahem... The sword I practiced, concise and direct. ”
"So?"
"So people, too, are concise and direct. Sword quality is character. ”
Xue Jian's face was very serious, and he told Luo Xia that he was not joking at all.
"Brother, times have changed. It's the time of colonization. ”
Although Luo Xia said it very frivolously, he wasn't joking. He's actually very confused.
"You're lost."
Xue Jian turned and left: "For me, the costume is a sword, there is no difference. ”
"By the way, I hear you crying with your knife."
My knife is crying?
Luo Xia's knife has not been unsheathed for a long time.
He didn't know why this was happening, since he returned to Xingnan City, every time he wanted to practice the knife, he always felt powerless.
Since ancient times, whether it is the age of wizards or the era of colonists.
Warriors, although they are not the protagonists, but strangely have never fallen.
As a result, many people consider martial arts to be a special talent.
People who can feel the breath and even the will of a weapon have this talent.
It's just that unlike demonic energy, martial arts is an intrinsic talent, and if you want to develop it, you basically have to rely on your own cultivation. Therefore, it is always tepid, that is, exists, but cannot dominate the world.
A demon cultivator who doesn't practice martial arts can counterattack a martial artist who has been cultivating for decades in a short time...
This has to be said to be a kind of sadness, which leads people to always have the impression that pure martial artists are all lower-class personnel who serve as meat shields and soy sauce.
"Don't let him take you to the ditch."
Luo Xia, who was in a daze, turned his head to look behind him. A bearded man in a military uniform without rank appeared behind him.
"Hello sir."
The four major armies of Southern Xinjiang, the Angry Hammer are dead, and the remaining ones are the Rock, Thorn, and Iron Mountain Legions, which respectively hold the Xingnan City, the alien border, and the northern pass.
The Iron Mountain Army held the Longkou Fortress between Southern Xinjiang and the mainland of the empire all year round, on the one hand, to maintain the passage of southern communication, and on the other hand, to guard against threats from the Longduan Mountains.
And, of course, there is the 'threat' of the empire itself.
It can be said that the Iron Mountain Army is the most elite of the four major legions, and it is also the most descendant of the duke. Its status and strength are still above the Rock Army.
The bearded, upright first-class general, that is, a senior officer who can be called a general, is responsible for the inspection of the entire pass canyon.
This time, as a close confidant of the governor, he personally escorted the students in southern Xinjiang to 'march' to the imperial capital, and he was also the person in charge.
"That little guy was born with a martial spirit, so he has been obsessed with martial arts since he was a child."
The bearded man said to himself: "Actually, the so-called martial soul is just a bluffing statement. The essence is also a kind of gifted, but he is better at using and developing the potential of the body than ordinary people. ”
"So, whatever talent you have, use whatever talent you have, that's what you need to do."
Luo Xia had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, indeed, what talent you have, what talent you have, a person who has no martial arts talent, insists on scolding people with outstanding talents, isn't he looking for a draw?
He gratefully forgot to glance at the beard: "Thank you, General, for your teachings." ”
"Don't. That kid is my nephew, and I just don't want to see another person being taken into the ditch by him. The bearded man laughed, turned around and walked away, looking very chic.
This style of saying and leaving, and throwing the back of the head to others willfully, is really in the same vein.
"By the way, you kid be careful. In fact, you also have a martial soul in you, so that kid Xue Jian is cultivating an opponent. ”
Ay?
Luo Xia was petrified on the spot.
In that case, what are you talking about?
His heart is even more messy. This family is all poisonous!
And the martial spirit, what the hell is it?
He kept thinking back to the bearded man's words.
Any power is a manifestation of talent for everyone who can apply it. Martial arts is the continuous development and utilization of the body. Then, the martial soul should be the talent to develop and use the body!
Does instinct count?
Naturally.
Luo Xia had heard someone call instinct subtle, and it was obvious that the martial artists of this world could also achieve similar effects, even quite a few.
So what is it again...
Luo Xia was thoughtful, and seemed to grasp some key points, but he always felt that something was missing.
But the bearded man is right about one thing, what talent you have, you should use. Since Luo Xia has the talent of martial arts, he should go on firmly. And he has an even more mysterious Earth Source Power bloodline, which should be taken into account!
Why bother with how to go.
Martial arts and bloodline are not in conflict at all!
Then, go hand in hand.
Luo Xia, whose heart suddenly brightened, suddenly became in a good mood. He seemed to get nothing, but he seemed to get a lot.
Feeling this kind of thing, if you can't figure it out, it's like an obstacle, and if you figure it out, it's just like that.
As the airship continued to move north, the wind in the sky became more and more violent.
The people inside the airship didn't feel it, but the flight altitude of the airship was constantly decreasing. From a distance, a huge mountain range is like a black continuous cloud, pressing down on the end of the sight.
That's the Dragon Broken Mountain Range!
Towering into the sky, stretching endlessly.
Everyone who sees her for the first time will be intimidated by her grand presence, there are such huge mountains and rivers in this world!
"What's that!"
Suddenly, someone pointed to the illusory light curtain above the sky in the distance and exclaimed.
This brought back to their senses the other students who were shocked by the Dragon Broken Mountain Range.
Subsequently, more people exclaimed.
The closer you get, the grander and taller the mountain becomes, and the middle and upper part of the mountain range turns from a dark blur of vision to a clearly visible fog.
And in the sky beyond the top of the mountain, a curtain of light like soap bubbles that occasionally flickered and disappeared, enveloping the whole world...
"That's... The Iron Curtain of the Firmament..."
The bearded man appeared behind the crowd, a strange look in his eyes, and a hint of hatred.
"The power of heaven and earth is extracted from several towers of the sky and converted into energy, and the barrier that envelops the entire empire... Protecting the stability of the Longtu Empire for thousands of years... and blessed..."
"What's the use of that, why doesn't Southern Xinjiang have it?"
"You can feel the other for yourselves, but it's... It can put an end to the invasion of foreign lands and discharge them to the periphery..."
"What!"
"Is this the truth? Imperial... How can you do this to us..."
The bearded man sighed, turned around and left, leaving a back for the students with mixed feelings.
Luo Xia's head was raised high, and there, even during the day, a few strange-shaped 'moons' could still be seen.
As he learned more and more about this world, with the help of the Magical Energy Library, he already knew that the moons were nothing more than projections of other 'worlds'.
Not in the same plane, but in the void meet.
And it's a group of planes encountering each other.
It is not known why this theoretically unlikely phenomenon is occurring.
But the consequence is that at certain times, the 'people' of any world can go to other worlds, either passively or actively.
Originally, such channels were supposed to be randomly distributed.
However, the Iron Curtain of the Firmament has pushed these passages that appeared in the Dragon Empire in a unique way to the periphery. This naturally includes southern Xinjiang.
Every few decades, or even years, there will be large and small xenoinvasion wars in southern Xinjiang. There is no doubt that for the people of southern Xinjiang, the empire itself bears a lot of responsibility for this pot.
Although Luo Xia was not a native of southern Xinjiang, he had never experienced that kind of cruel war. However, he can understand the feelings of these people.
As long as everyone does not die young, they will suffer more or less from the pain caused by the alien invasion. When they learned that it was the Iron Curtain of the Dragon Empire that caused all this, they could imagine how they would feel.
At least by Luo Xia's side, Jiaojiao and Ellie's faces became very ugly and even hideous. They are also victims of this tragedy.
This is a matter of position, if you stand on the side of the empire itself, you can exclude the brutal war from the borders of the country, and you will only cheer the rulers of the country.
But in the eyes of the people of southern Xinjiang, truth represents hatred.
Luo Xia sighed in his heart.
He finally understood why the Southern Xinjiang students were all over the place every time, and if the military rank was just the reason for the camp, then the moment he saw the Iron Curtain of the Sky, he rose to the level of hatred...
This trip to the imperial capital, at the beginning, carried too much malice.
The airship slowly lowered and landed in front of a tall and majestic fortress, and everyone stepped out of the airship one by one.
The mountain is hundreds of feet high, Luo Xia has seen it, but the impact of the wall is completely different.
A fortress built on top of a huge chasm, hundreds of meters high. Below is a mountain wall, like a dam, and a huge waterfall gushes out! With a rumbling sound, it roared and rushed down a hundred meters into the air, crashed into the huge lake below, and finally flowed into the distance.
On the island in the middle of the lake is a huge military camp and gathering place, like a small city, with three huge arch bridges connecting the land and bypassing the waterfall to the tall and majestic fortress about 3.4 kilometers wide.
"It was a fortress that existed a hundred years ago, Longkou Fortress. It was originally a barrier for the empire to keep the enemy out. However, with the expansion of the empire in southern Xinjiang, it has become a special fortress that can be communicated and protected on both sides. ”
"You can't imagine what the other side of the Dragon's Mouth Fortress is like."
The young man in purple pulled away his long hair that was blown away by the wind with one hand, and at the same time spoke eloquently to the students around him, with a bit of pride in his plain demeanor. It's not annoying, but it's not approachable. It seems that he has a temperament that keeps people at a distance.
Violet, a very neutral, even feminine name, is just like the owner of the name, with a characteristic sassy and extravagance.
As the chief cadet of the First Academy, he was destined to be the center of the crowd, and he was surrounded by a crowd to walk at the forefront.
On the other hand, there is the social terror group, everyone from the Seventh Academy, oh, and there is also a Xue Jian. Several people hung from afar behind the crowd, curiously gazing at the legendary fortress.
