Chapter 2: The Gathering

"Young Master, Your Excellency the Speaker, here you are again, and Commander Gail, you still don't see you?" Zhang Yuan, whose hair was already gray, stood beside Lin Xi and asked softly

"Hmm!" In the crystal ball space, in a thatched hut deep in the dense forest, Lin Xi stood by the stove, carefully cooking the food in the cauldron, and when he saw Zhang Yuan coming in, he just raised his head and said "um".

1,000 hours had passed, and the chiefs of the families had spread the news they had heard from Linsey at the first time, and after everyone heard the news, there was a long period of riot and decadence, until time passed slowly, and many people cheered up.

The remaining apostles are less than 10,000 people, including the 3,000 apostles in the survivor camp that is basically intact, and the ordinary people who have experienced the war are less than 10,000 people, basically all of whom died under the impact of the great war between the two giant beasts and Sabu Nicholas

Around the thatched hut in the depths of the dense forest, there are large and small houses, some made of brick and stone, some made of giant trees, like a small city, in a surrounding style, guarding Linxi's thatched house in the middle, Stephen heard about Linxi's return, found Linsey for the first time, and told Linsey what the major finally explained, and then built a small city around Linxi.

After the speaker and others separated from Linxi, they searched for the second-level beacon in the camp for several hours, and then an apostle who accidentally put his hand into the bonfire found that the huge fire in the center of the camp was the real body of the second-level beacon, which opened everyone's exchange enhancement mode, it is worth mentioning that the function of the second-level beacon is no different from the first-level one, Mo Zhi asked Linsey in detail to know that it turned out that the apostle's authority was insufficient, and he could not exchange second-level authority items from it.

During this time, the biggest benefit is the magician and various auxiliary professions, including Mo Zhi, every day from the bookshelf to take out a large number of books back to the crystal ball residence to watch, each time for Lin Xi to bring back the basic soul, gods, spirit books, Lin Xi alone in the thatched hut, quietly get up early every day, go to the river stream fishing, go to the forest to catch hares, the world in the crystal ball is basically the same as the living environment on the earth, including the alternation of day and night.

The Children of the Forest still roam the forest as always, but the 22 Children of the Forest have one more thing every day, which is to transmit the remaining energy of the day into Linxi's body.

Linxi's physical condition can be said to be terrible, after this period of cultivation, it has been much better, and the soul damage has also been repaired by green energy, the only pity is that the shattering of Felicis, and the fracture of Richard Mill, Lynsey, who escaped death, found that Richard Mill's strap had been broken into segments, and on the originally smooth dial, the gears had fallen, and as long as it shook slightly, it would make a "whoosh" sound, and the white light that was originally in the depths of Linxi's will had been shattered, The black light cluster also turned into a fist-sized pure black sphere.

"Tell everyone, it's time to come to dinner," Lin Xi turned his head and said to Uncle Zhang

"By the way, bring the two of them over" threw some into the pot, coriander and minced shallots, Linxi took out a big fish in the cauldron, put it into a large plate, brought out the thatched house, and put it down on the table under the gazebo made of logs outside, the table was already full of 6 or 7 dishes, this fish was the product of Linxi's stewed for a full 3 hours, nearly 8 catties of silver carp, under the long-term slow fire stew, the fish oil in the fish belly has been stewed and fused with the delicious fish soup, sticky, and some rice wine was added, Makes the whole fish fattening

"Haha, brother, it's not easy to see you, thank you for your hospitality, haha" Far away, Gail's big voice came, and the laughter was as hearty and cunning as ever.

"The two commanders have taken their mouths, and my young master's craftsmanship is world-class" Zhang Yuan walked with the two, slightly one step ahead

"Commander Lin, excuse me," the speaker said humbly as soon as he saw Lin Xi, putting his black hood behind his head

"Your Excellency Speaker, Brother Gail, please take a seat, wait a minute, wait for everyone to arrive" After carefully preparing the dishes and chopsticks, and arranging them neatly, he sat down, but did not talk to the two

"Xiaoxi, what are you going to eat today" Jian Jian and Mo Zhi hooked their shoulders and smiled

"Linsey, are there any pickled cucumbers today? I've been thinking about you for the past few days," Dashan's honest voice fully showed the nature of a foodie

"Stewed silver carp, our Northeast cuisine, how about it, there is a lot of fat added to it, it is fragrant"

"Boss, I'm sorry for you," Lancer and Afaf also came together

"Lin... Classmate Lin, next time you cook again, you can call me, I can help" Ye Xin's voice has always been soft and glutinous, full of Jiangnan flavor, every time he saw Lin Xi, he was not too embarrassed to speak, Chen Bing took a step behind Ye Xin and walked into the pavilion

"Okay, Senior Sister Ye"

"Young Master Lin, is there anything else you need help with?" Xu Feng, Xu Jian, and Li Tai, who was more and more silent, also came

"Okay, everyone is together, open the meal, serve it yourself" The meal was enjoyed by the guests and hosts, and the two leaders in the banquet stopped talking a few times, but they were all pressed down by Lin Xi

After the meal, the women went to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Dashan and Xu Yan practiced in the back of the room, and Mo Zhi and Chu Jian were studying the structure and shape of New Hope, although there was not enough energy to rebuild it now. After waking up, Xu Yan was no longer crazy, but he was silent, and he and Lin Xi quarreled at the usual dinner table, but now there was a lot less laughter at the dinner table.

"Commander Lin, in fact, I've always had a question" The speaker saw that the people dispersed, thought for a while, and asked

"Or call me Linsey, the alliance has been dissolved" The dissolution of the alliance is inevitable, and now the entire apostle is redivided into two camps, among which the new council composed of energy-type apostles and a large number of quasi-apostles, the council has also changed to a round table council of 12 people, and the brotherhood composed of a group of melee apostles such as Gail, which is composed of a large number of warrior apostles, the two camps are friendly on the surface, but they are also secretly competing for resources, including a large number of auxiliary professions, and ranged professions.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Speaker is now in charge of the entire Council," Gail said in a sinister manner

In fact, the purpose of Gail's coming was to take a fancy to the 3,000 apostles in Linsey's hands, this time he came to ask Linsey for someone, he knew that Linsey had no ambition at all, so he seized the time to hold the decisive force in his hands, so that he could get more resources in the next war.

"I know your concerns, let me ask you, do you know or don't know what can change?" Lin Xi said meaningfully

"I've also consulted a lot of books recently, and there are a large number of mystical knowledge lovers in the council, and we have also discussed, but I have not been able to guess, so I found Lin... Linxi, you come, I want to ask your opinion" Seeing that Linsey didn't want to talk more, the speaker didn't give up

"Don't speculate, there's no basis, I've confronted that being, compared to you, I've talked to the rest of the people, and they have given you the answer, it's good to have a desire to explore, but don't play with fire! Your Excellency Speaker" Lin Xi didn't care about the two of them after speaking, he picked up the teacup intently, blew the tea in the teacup, and took a sip gently.

"Brother, your business, you better solve it yourself, no matter what the result is, they have their own freedom, I hope my brother has a good grasp of proportion, I still say the same thing, who is our enemy, who can be our friend, the two of you must recognize"

"Hey... Hey..." Gail scratched his head a little embarrassed, while the Speaker kept his head down in thought

"That's it, let's meet again, I hope that in the next world, we can still fight together for survival" In fact, the infighting in the apostle camp has not stopped, these guys in the Western Hemisphere are full of belligerent factors in their bodies, and after there is no oppression of survival, the bloodshed that occurs every day continues, especially the bloody warriors under Gail, a group of troublemakers, who transform without saying a word, and often make the camp smoky

The two got up to say goodbye, Lin Xi picked up the teacup again, savored it carefully, speaking of this habit was still developed when he was with Mo, including cooking, thinking of Mo, and couldn't help but think of another woman who was extremely similar to Mo, Qianying flashed in Lin Xi's mind, and then a cold snort came in his mind, and a severe headache appeared without warning

"Linxi, I'm here to say goodbye to you, I've asked Your Excellency the Speaker to be the sixth councilor," Li Tai appeared and interrupted Linxi's life-threatening headache

"Hmmm! Have a good trip, see you soon" It can already be seen from Li Tai's performance that his heart is no longer here with Su Su's death, so it's okay to leave

"We! Goodbye," Li Tai's deep voice revealed inexplicable sadness, and it seemed that Susu's death was also a big blow to her

"Little A, what just happened"

"Boss, I don't know, it's so high, scare me"

"It's a waste, what is the use of asking you every day"

"Boss, you still have 9 lotteries, do you need to use them" Xiao A hurriedly changed the topic

"I'm not in the mood, wait"

"Boss, shall I sing you a song?" Little A's voice was full of flattery

"Fuck off, guy with incomplete pentatonic tones" Lin Xi hurriedly said, when Lin Xi was in a bad mood before, Xiao A sang it, it was really earth-shattering.

"Excuse me, classmate, do you still have food? I'm a little hungry" The cold voice interrupted the conversation between Lin Xi and Xiao A, Lin Xi raised his head sharply the first time he heard the voice, and then tears flowed like a broken thread, and the haunting figure was carrying the sun on his back, everything seemed so unreal.
