Chapter 1164: I Know......
"Went back? In such a hurry? β
Hearing the news that Ximen Yu would return to the Dragon Country immediately, Gao Mingyang and his party in the exploration team were naturally stunned.
"Well, because there's news that the Sea Empire is now in the midst of civil strife. I think this is a great time to fight back. Ximenyu gave an explanation.
Regarding the sudden civil strife in the Ocean Empire, everyone was naturally taken aback.
Gao Mingyang frowned and said, "Anyway, the current development degree is stagnant, so let's go back together." Multiple people, multiple cares are fine. Those sea bastards, I want to beat them back to my hometown. β
Ximen Yu shook his head and said, "No, you need to stay here and temporarily assist the Red Dragon Princess to continue to explore the higher regions." This is war, and it's not something that a few more people can influence. Instead of this, it is better to distribute the work reasonably. You, along with Achilles, are the best Chosen One of our Dragon Nations. β
Gao Mingyang seemed to disagree.
However, in the end, he was unable to resist Ximenyu's resolution. Ximenyu also immediately comforted a few words, saying that if there is a need, he will notify him here as soon as possible, hoping to get assistance.
Next, Ximenyu selected ten members from the exploration team and returned them directly through the key.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The land of dragons, the capital of demons.
On the road leading to the city lord's fort, Ximenyu was looking out from the carriage. Looking at the pedestrians on the street, Ximenyu's face couldn't tell whether he was worried or happy.
"This period of getting along with each other can be regarded as more obvious for Gao Mingyang and them to accept 'me'......" He suddenly chuckled and said: "Actually, getting along is like this." No matter what happens in the future, even if it ends in failure, but look at your former opposition to yourself...... Actually, I won it. β
He was silent for a moment, and the role of 'Good Ximenyu', who had been playing the role of 'Good Ximenyu' in the path of the Star Spirit to the Heavens, had reached the point where it was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"I'm not without nothing." Ximenyu chuckled in a low voice. "At least if I become such a person, the love of the people, the trust of the chosen one, these are very valuable assets, aren't they? Being forced from behind the stage to the front of the stage is not necessarily a bad thing sometimes. β
As if thinking of something he was looking forward to, Ximenyu reached out and grabbed his face hard at this time. His gaze narrowed, "I can't be complacent...... It's not time to be complacent......"
The car finally drove into the castle lord fortress of the demon capital. Without saying a word, Ximen Yu walked towards the place where Gu Tianyuan lived.
"Stop! The Prophet is resting now, and no one is to disturb him! β
Unexpectedly, before he got closer, he was stopped, and unexpectedly it was still an unfamiliar face. And...... This guy isn't even the Chosen One.
A four-star high-level professional.
Ximenyu stopped. However, Brother Wolf, who was following him, and the ten members of the exploration team quietly took a step forward, looking at this four-star professional without fear.
Brother Wolf said in a deep voice: "Bastard, don't you know who this person in front of you is? This lord needs to be a prophet, and he needs your consent? β
Unexpectedly, this person seems to be a tendon. "The Prophet has said, "Let no one disturb you! Even if you are the king of heaven, you can't figure it out here! Get out of here, and don't push me to do it! β
I've seen it horizontal, but I've never seen it so straight. Ximen Yu suddenly chuckled, and waved his hand to tell his subordinates not to move, "How long has the prophet rested?" β
"It's none of your business. Come on! The professional said in a deep voice: "Give you five seconds to leave, or I will kick you out directly!" β
"You dare!"
The group of people under his command are naturally angry. However, Ximenyu shook his head. said indifferently: "Since that's the case, then I'll wait for some time to come back...... Let's go. β
The professional who was guarding Gu Tianyuan's residence didn't recognize Ximenyu as the reason why he might be a newcomer. But for the servants of the Demon Capital City Lord's Fort. Naturally, he would not fail to recognize who Ximenyu was.
This is a man who has become his grandson-in-law before Gu Tianyuan has become a prophet, and he needs to respectfully call Aunt Sun or something.
In this way, he was engraved in the side hall to receive a steward in the fortress of Ximenyu.
"Sue me, when did Grandpa change these professions as his own guard?" Ximenyu got straight to the point.
The steward sighed and said, "Not long ago, it was about half a month ago. On that day, a group of powerful professionals suddenly appeared, and the Prophet said that they would become the new bodyguards. Since then. Whoever it is, those people won't let it go. Unless the prophet says he wants to see people. But if you say Aunt Sun, the prophet will definitely see you, you may be resting, and the group of guards didn't report it. β
Didn't know you were coming without a briefing? Gu Tianyuan has not yet been deaf to that kind of Cheng dΓΉ. Ximen Yu sneered in his heart. I was just outside the door at the time...... It's just that Gu Tianyuan avoided himself, but he couldn't help but feel strange in his heart.
"Why did you get a new guard?" Ximen Yu suddenly said: "Hasn't it always been Duke who has served as the prophet's guard?" β
The steward sighed again: "Uncle Sun, you don't know, Lord Duke has been depressed for some reason during this time, and he has locked himself in his room all day, and he doesn't come out to meet people. We just deliver food at regular intervals every day. β
Ximenyu rolled his gaze, nodded his head to indicate that he already knew, and asked the steward to step down.
At this time, Brother Wolf possessed him and said softly: "Young Master, there is something strange. β
Ximenyu said quietly: "Wait until I meet Duke...... In addition, let someone sort out all the recent things in the Dragon Country, and give me a piece of information. No matter how big or small. β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
His face was full of stubble, and his eyes were hazy, like a street bum. When Ximenyu saw Duke, all he saw was a sloppy man who was drunk on the ground with a wine bottle.
There is no way to connect with the same characters as the fierce generals of the past.
Ximenyu frowned and walked in front of Duke. Duke on the ground seemed to sense someone approaching, and at this time opened his eyes slightly, and after a glance, he ignored it, but turned his body.
Ximenyu couldn't help but sigh and said, "Duke." What the hell is going on with you? Why is it like this? β
The people of the earth did not respond, as if they were asleep.
Ximenyu squatted down, grabbed the other party's collar, lifted Duke up, and shook his body, "The Duke I know is not a waste like you." β
is still drunk. Duke laughed a few times at this time, and staggered up the wine bottle in his arms, "Do you want to drink?" Tastes good. β
Ximenyu suddenly said angrily: "Enough! Sober me up! β
Duke, however, was only pouring wine on his back.
Ximenyu's brows furrowed even deeper, and he suddenly stood up. White light flashed in his hand. If this extremely wealthy guy doesn't have any high-quality wine on hand, no one will believe it.
Ximenyu had this bottle of valuable wine in his hand at this time, "You want to drink it, right?" I'll give you as much as you want! β
With that, he pulled the plug straight from the top of Duke's head. Poured the drink down. The drink ran down Duke's hair, down to his face, and finally to his clothes. This is already a very strong insult, and if it was placed in the former Duke Commander, I am afraid it would have been murderous.
But what appeared in front of Ximenyu's eyes now seemed to be incomparable to even a bereaved dog.
But Ximenyu was not in a hurry, and the precious wine was poured down one bottle after another. I didn't speak, and I was always fine.
Duke's eyes opened and closed. After it closed, it opened again and again, and the whole thing was motionless, but it was as if it was forcibly numbing its body.
Ximenyu knew that the other party was just patient. He'd like to see where this guy can go at his limits.
The wine was still poured, and there were empty bottles all over the floor, but Ximenyu suddenly said, "Do you know?" I respect you. So just let the wine splash you. But looking at you like this, where is there anything I respect for me? Duke, I don't care what happens to you, but don't forget if you're still a man. Just stand up for me! β
Duke suddenly reached out and touched his face, revealing a mad smile and said, "Ximenyu, you will die!" Everybody's going to die! Hahaha, everyone, will die! β
With that, Duke stood up and pointed to himself, "I'm going to die too!" I'm going to die too! Hahaha, I'm going to die too! Hahaha!! Wine...... Wine...... What a waste! β
In front of Ximenyu's eyes, Duke fell to the ground at this time, stretched out his tongue, and licked the liquid on the ground bit by bit.
Ximenyu's face changed slightly, and the wine bottle that was still half left in his hand slammed out on the ground, "You're really crazy!" β
With that, he waved his sleeves out.
However, even if he walked away, he could still hear Duke's crazy screams.
- You said you were dead! It's going to die!! All to death!! He's dead! He's dead!! I'm dead too!! Ha ha...... I'm dead too......
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Duke is crazy?"
Brother Wolf could hardly confidently hear this amazing news from Ximenyu's mouth, and was speechless for a while.
Ximenyu pinched his eyebrows at this time, and said a little tiredly: "At first, I thought he was just depressed, but when I saw him licking the floor like an old dog, I knew that he was really crazy...... But what is it that makes such an iron man a madman? What exactly does Gu Tianyuan plan to do......
Countless questions lingered in Ximenyu's mind.
"By the way, how is the information organized?" Ximenyu shook his head and asked.
Brother Wolf hurriedly said: "I'm afraid it hasn't met your requirements yet, young master, but the more important news has been sorted out." Details need more time. β
With a wave of his palm, a thick stack of texts appeared in front of Ximenyu - these texts were the intelligence agencies that he had developed together with Zhao Nan and Qingfeng.
But in fact, the one who contributed the most was Ximenyu and Qingfeng, and Zhao Nan had been for a year since then, and after he came back, the intelligence agency had basically been perfected...... Kind of a person who enjoys the results directly.
Looking at the thick information in front of him, Ximenyu had a feeling that he couldn't start, as if even his thinking was sluggish, "Let's pick it up for me first." β
Brother Wolf nodded, and quickly picked out one from the pile of texts, "Young Master." This is information about the night empire and the shadow empire, I think you should take a look. β
Ximen Yu said while watching: "Let's hear it." β
"The civil strife in the Shadow Empire is over. It seems that one of the princesses of the Shadow Empire has won the final victory. And in the pacification of this civil strife, the shadow of the Night Empire is indispensable. β
Ximen Yu flipped through it, and suddenly saw a record somewhere, which said that the new empress of the Shadow Empire would marry a royal grand duke of the Night Empire.
Brother Wolf's voice remembered at this time: "It is interesting to note that this princess has won several battles inexplicably before she has won the victory. The future of the other side is still in the form of direct surrender...... But the two sides should have been incompatible. So unreasonable. Reminds me of some rumored ability in the Night Empire. β
"Soul manipulation?" Ximen Yu frowned: "Do you think that Lucifer XIV let the people of the royal family use this method to help the new queen of the Shadow Empire win the final victory?" β
"Hmm." Brother Wolf said: "After all, this can explain the marriage between the two countries. I think the new queen has already made some kind of agreement with the Night Empire a long time ago. β
Ximen Yu suddenly sneered and said, "Agreement? What is the use of an agreement? Since the Night Empire was able to control the local generals, it was naturally able to control the so-called new queen. Shadow Empire? I'm afraid that I have already changed to a new owner in secret. β
Brother Wolf exclaimed, "Didn't the Night Empire have two empires? β
Ximen Yu waved his hand and said, "Lucifer XIV did this just to increase his bargaining chips against the Sea Clan and the evil gods. The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, let alone such a long-lived emperor...... But it's a good thing, at least on top of the general war, it's equivalent to an extra empire's troops, which is a good side for all the races on land. β
Ximenyu threw out the information in his hand casually. However, just a brief discussion and analysis of the data, the intentions of the Night Empire have almost been seen. He sighed a little bored and said, "What else is there that you don't have?" β
The wolf quickly pulled out another copy, "Here's a copy about the Temple Alliance." β
"What's going on with those guys?"
Brother Wolf said, "Earlier, all the believer warriors of the Temple Alliance withdrew from the Holy Land. The young master already knew about this matter. However, it seems that during this time, they did not open the Holy Land, but were directly stationed in the Night Empire. Externally, it is convenient for the mobilization of the war. But some spies inquired that there seemed to be something in the Holy Land. Had to shut it down. β
"Oh?" Ximen Yu began to read this article carefully, and suddenly frowned: "Sure enough, I don't mean to go back at all...... Not going back. It's better to be afraid to go back. What is it? What is there in the Holy Land that would scare this group of believers? Faith...... Is it? β
Because of the lack of information, Ximenyu couldn't see what it was for. can only keep this article and let people continue to follow up.
"Plus, this is a report on the Fairy Realm." Brother Wolf said with a solemn face: "It seems that I have found a trace of the Chosen One of the Fairy Realms." β
Ximen Yu was stunned and said, "The Chosen One of the Dead Fairy Realms? What do you mean? β
Brother Wolf said: "This was only discovered recently. It seems to be ...... The Chosen One of the Fairy Realms! β
Ximen Yu frowned and said, "The four empires, Heavenly Wing, Night, and Shadow." We all have our own Chosen One, as we have known for a long time...... But I've never heard of a player landing in the Fairy Country. Theoretically, there should be no ZΓ i Chosen City in the Fairy Country, otherwise, it is impossible for the players there not to communicate with the outside world......"
"Does the young master remember the Chosen One of the underworld?" Brother Wolf said: "At the beginning, the Shadow Empire of the Underworld was also after their Chosen One reached a certain condition. Eventually, it bordered us. β
"The Fairy Nation also has its own Chosen One?" Ximenyu said to himself: "If that's the case, they haven't been exposed all these years, why is this ......?"
"I'm afraid we'll have to wait until they officially appear and announce it to the outside world."
"Follow up." Ximen Yu said neatly.
The next piece of information did not surprise Ximenyu. For example, after the collapse of the Celestial Wing Empire, the established regime of the Celestial Wing Empire also announced its dissolution earlier. Some of the population migrated directly to the neighboring Night Empire, while others moved to the combined formation of the Dragon Nation and the Barbarians.
There are also some who choose to go to the Styx Empire.
When these populations are migrated, the world will truly form four poles - a new giant power led by the Night Empire and the Shadow Empire. The mysterious and strange Styx Empire, a closed goblin country. Finally, there is the joint formation zone between the Dragon Kingdom and the Barbarians.
While the two were talking, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Unexpectedly, the person who knocked on the door was not an outsider, but Ximenyu's nominal wife, known to the whole world - Gu Yun.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"This guy Wolf is still as loyal to you."
Despite the fact that there has already been a wedding. It has become a beautiful marriage made in heaven in the eyes of everyone. But Gu Yun is still dressed in neutral clothes.
"Are you finally back?" Ximen Yu looked at Gu Yun who was sitting in front of him and said.
This woman, a long time ago...... About half a year ago, when the Pan-Continent Chosen Legion and the Temple Alliance had a stalemate, they left a note and disappeared.
Externally, Ximen Yu can only claim that his wife is concentrating on the impact level and the like.
Ximen Yu began to look at Gu Yun in front of him. If Zhao Nan hadn't done it without him knowing, Gu Yun's current memory should still be the one he had rewritten with the Void Great Sword in the past.
Sure enough, Gu Yun said indifferently at this time: "Anyway, I'm just grandpa who finally took you back to take charge of the Gu family's smokescreen, after I married you." Am I already free? β
Ximenyu said softly: "As a husband, there seems to be nothing wrong with a little bit of his wife's movements, right?" β
Gu Yun glanced at Ximen Yu coldly, "You and I know each other, so don't say such disgusting words." I didn't come back this time for a reason, just for grandpa. Do you know his situation? I heard you only returned from the Astral Spirit Path a few hours ago? β
Ximenyu sighed and said, "I wanted to see him, but I was blocked by those guards." β
"Sure enough......" Gu Yun closed his eyes.
Ximen Yu stared at Gu Yun without blinking: "I've also seen Duke." He's completely insane now...... What do you really know? β
Gu Yun opened his eyes again and said, "I don't know much. But before the accident. Grandpa once went to a place with Duke, and when he came back, Duke began to become depressed. And grandpa began to lock himself up. β
A trace of doubt flashed in Ximenyu's eyes...... This kind of thing hasn't even been investigated by his own intelligence agency, how did Gu Yun know?
I said...... You must have been there at the time, right? Ximenyu narrowed his eyes.
Gu Yun suddenly sneered: "It is rumored that your whole person has changed. Now it seems that it is still the same. Master Ximen was so scheming that he was willing to push himself to the front of the screen. It seems that there is some huge benefit that makes you prefer to take this risk. β
Ximenyu shrugged his shoulders and looked calm.
But I was secretly startled in my heart - in front of this woman, I unconsciously showed some horses' feet. But after all, he is a person who is used to seeing countless storms. Suddenly chuckled and said, "Gu Yun, in fact, you still stop paying attention to me, right?" The average person can't see it. β
Gu Yun said disdainfully: "Who are you Ximenyu, only I know best in the world!" β
Ximenyu shrugged...... If it was why, when she used the Void Sword to make adjustments to Gu Yun's memory, in order not to let people see her changes. It's just that the specific relationship between Gu Tianyuan, Gu Yun, and Ximen Yu has been changed.
So this guy who is the same as the hair is probably really the person who knows himself best in the world, right?
"I'll get down to business." Ximen Yu said indifferently: "Where did they go?" Why can you avoid so many eyes and ears? β
Gu Yun suddenly said: "What if, the grandfather who has been monitored by you all the time, is not the real grandfather?" Can you know where he himself went? β
Ximen Yu suddenly came over in an instant, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Stand-in...... Scapegoat. And this trick, I really miscalculated this time...... Okay, don't beat around the bush and tell me what you know. β
"All I know is that Grandpa and Duke went to the Imperial City of the former Celestial Wing Empire. When they returned, Duke went crazy......" Gu Yun said with a solemn face, "But I know that Duke is a real person, and Grandpa actually didn't come back at all."
Ximen Yu was secretly shocked and said, "Tianyi...... The stronghold of the evil gods? Ancient...... What the hell is Grandpa doing in that place? β
Gu Yun smiled bitterly: "I don't know...... But he has one thing for me to hand over to you. β
A white light flashed in Gu Yun's hand, it was a sealed box, "I was still outside at the time, and I received an email message from my grandfather, informing me that he was going to the base camp of the evil god. and told me that if he didn't come back in the end, he would give you the box. β
"What's inside?" Ximenyu took the box, but did not open it.
Gu Yun shook his head and said, "I haven't opened it." Grandpa said that it can only be opened by you. Of course, there were several times when I didn't even want to hand it over to you. β
Gu Yun stood up at this time, "I've finished what I need to say." So, goodbye. β
"Where are you going?"
"Celestial Wing Empire...... Imperial. Gu Yuntou didn't reply: "Where is Grandpa now, what happened, only that place can be found out." β
"No, if you sneak in alone, it's too dangerous!" Ximen Yu frowned and said, "You can't deal with those sub-rank evil gods!" β
Unexpectedly, Gu Yun suddenly snorted coldly, and Ximenyu's whole body was as if he had been hit by a huge hammer, and he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood.
"Ximen Yu...... Who do you think you're talking to? Do you really think that among the Chosen One, there is no one except for Zhao Nan? β
All that was left was Gu Yun's indifferent voice!
No one was in the room anymore. Ximen Yu took a deep breath at this time, and didn't even use the guΓ² recovery potion to recover his injuries, but waited for Sheting to slowly recover.
He pressed his palm on the box, did not open it for a long time, but said to himself: "I have already somewhat comprehended the existence of the small world...... Gu Yun, this woman...... What has happened in the past six months? β
In the end, Ximen Yu still waved away his doubts about this and opened the box left by Gu Tianyuan.
In the box, there was nothing more than a photo crystalβthe photo left by Gu Tianyuan.
In front of him, a figure shot out through the lingering crystal, which was the appearance of Gu Tianyuan. At this time, Gu Tianyuan was much older than any time in Ximenyu's impression, as if he could die at any time.
He was silent and did not speak for a long time.
Ximen Yu could only wait for the figure of the photo crystal to speak.
In the end, Gu Tianyuan, who was in the photo, sighed slowly, his expression was even more closed, revealing a complicated gaze, and said slowly: "Ximen Yu...... You're really a talent...... Unfortunately, in the end, I saw the future. Gu Yun is my real granddaughter......"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Deep.
A real place that can be called the Sea Empire.
At this time, Zhao Nan had to stop the flying boat...... There's only one reason for the stop.
Here he saw a group of people slaughtering some of the deep-sea sea beasts...... The things that the group was talking about were 'After killing these sea monsters, I'm almost ready to level up' and 'Give me a bottle of recovery potion, I'm running out.'" β
Zhao Nan had to stop.
"The ...... of the deep sea The Chosen One! Why ......" (To be continued......
