Chapter 337: Assemble, Elwyn's Line!(5)
How does this sound so familiar?
This was Su Yang's first thought after hearing this voice, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
At the same time, the three daughters of Han Menglan also looked at Su Yang with doubts, hoping that Su Yang could give them an answer.
"Don't look at me, it sounds familiar to me, but I can't remember where I've heard it. Su Yang shrugged helplessly.
"Haha, Su Yang Xiaoyou, it's only been a long time, you forgot the old man, or not, the old man kindly reminded you: Iron Sword Venerable Linus senior. The familiar voice came from all around again.
Uncle Linus?!!
As soon as Linus was mentioned, Su Yang immediately remembered who the owner of this voice was.
"Is that you, Grand Duke of Barn?"
"Haha, good boy, really smart enough to be the one who defeated that bastard kid in my family. With a loud laugh, a middle-aged man dressed in graceful clothes and with a commanding appearance walked out from the side of Su Yang and the others.
After seeing the true face of the person who came, Su Yang also smiled, sure enough, it was the patriarch of the Bashutt family, Barn's father, and the actual head of the southern provinces of the Caesar Empire, Grand Duke Douglas Bashutt.
"Hello Grand Duke. ”
Su Yang bowed slightly: "I don't know what the Grand Duke ordered to find a kid?"
Grand Duke Basiut laughed: "Would you believe me if I said it was because you defeated me, that bastard boy of my family?"
Su Yang was stunned for a moment, and then replied embarrassedly: "Uh...... Unbelief. ”
"Why?"
"Barn only lost to me in the realm, in a sense, in fact, we were tied, and when Barn came up in the realm of fighting spirit during the holidays, he could naturally easily beat me. ”
Bang bang bang
As soon as Su Yang's voice fell, Grand Duke Basiut applauded directly, and the crisp applause was particularly loud in this silent environment.
"Well said, it is worthy of the person who Linus's predecessors fancied, not to mention anything else, this measure alone is much better than that kid in my family. Grand Duke Bashut made no secret of his admiration for Su Yang.
"The Grand Duke praised it falsely, but I don't know what the Grand Duke is doing to find a kid this time?" asked Su Yang.
"I'm sure you've heard about Lilith, I've been asked by a senior to come here to intercept you. Grand Duke Bashut suddenly said an answer that Su Yang didn't expect.
Did you come to intercept me? Or was it entrusted by a senior? Who is this senior? Uncle Linus? No, it can't be, Uncle Linus knows about his relationship with Lilith. And in terms of Uncle Linus's affection for Lilith, he is probably more anxious than himself now that Lilith has an accident, so he will not let Grand Duke Basiut intercept him. But who else could make Grand Duke Basiu spend so much effort to do this, but Uncle Linus, who had the grace to teach him? Could it be that the president of the Magic Guild, Fa Saint Sharan?
A series of questions kept emerging in Su Yang's heart, and one speculation after another kept flashing in Su Yang's heart.
Seeing that Su Yang was confused by his words, Grand Duke Bashut smiled slightly and said: "Okay, don't guess, boy, I can tell you clearly, the senior who entrusted me this time is not Linus senior or Lord Shalan, but someone else, as for who it is, I can't say now that you will naturally know when you meet him on the Elwin Line." ”
Someone else?
Su Yang was completely confused, but Grand Duke Basiut was unwilling to say that Su Yang had no way to take him.
"Okay, since the Grand Duke doesn't want to say it, and the kid doesn't force it, the kid just wants to know what the Grand Duke intercepted the kid for?" Su Yang simply changed the question and asked.
"That's what I can tell you. ”
"The boy listened. ”
"I think you know about the Cave of Sorrow, so I won't say much about this, but I want to talk about what happened after His Majesty and Lord Sharan decided to take action against the apostle in the Cave of Sorrow. The smile on Grand Duke Basut's face disappeared instantly, and then he told Su Yang everything that happened in Gran Forest a few days ago in a heavy tone.
It turned out that after Su Yang got up from the Blazing Flame Academy, the situation in the Gran Forest had also changed dramatically, and a large number of demonic and non-demonic beast populations began to have the Gran Forest's four directions towards the Sorrowful Cave. In just a few days, the number has grown from hundreds of thousands to tens or even hundreds of thousands.
Under such pressure, the Caesar Empire's 10,000-strong army, which had already marched towards the Cave of Sorrow, also withdrew from the Elwyn Line and brought back the latest information about the vicinity of the Cave of Sorrow.
In addition to the constant wailing of the current Screaming Cave, a large number of insect corpses have appeared near the cave. And although those insects are of different sizes, they are all the same species, a kind of snow-white silkworm chrysalis.
At the same time, those goblins and minotaurs, whose IQs were not high or even very low, began to build defenses on the periphery of the Screaming Cave in an organized manner, and wantonly captured lone humans for captivity. As for why this was done, no one in the entire Caesar Empire could give a reasonable explanation at present, so the Caesar Empire decided to suspend the operation of the Screaming Cave after consulting with the Magic Guild, and sent a small reconnaissance team to break into the forest to investigate, and wait until the situation was clarified before making plans.
At the same time as this decision was made, some information about Su Yang came from the mission to the Blazing Empire. Therefore, in order to prevent Su Yang from directly plunging into the Gran Forest because of Lilith and causing some unnecessary consequences, a strong man who was invited by Fa Shengsharan asked Grand Duke Basiute to set up obstacles in some towns along the way to see if he could intercept Su Yang. After all, this part of Caesar's territory near the Gran Forest is subordinate to the southern province controlled by the Grand Duke of Basyut, and in this respect, the Grand Duke of Basiut has an advantage that no one else can match.
Simply, not long after this order was conveyed by Grand Duke Baschut, Su Yang and his party took the initiative to bump into it, which can be regarded as a coincidence.
Knowing what happened, although the doubts in Su Yang's heart disappeared a lot, he was still worried: "Grand Duke, will slowing down the pace of action against the Cave of Sorrow have any impact on Lilith's body?"
"I know that you kid can't rest assured of Lilith, and you can rest assured about this aspect, how can Lord Shalan, as Lilith's teacher, watch Lilith suffer. Therefore, before Lord Sharan left for the Elwyn Line, he directly used a treasure of the Magic Guild and an eighth-order Holy Light Enchantment Scroll, with this Holy Light Enchantment, it could ensure that Lilith's body would not deteriorate in three months. The Grand Duke of Basiut said.
"That's good. ”
When Su Yang heard this, he put his mind at ease, and then threw an apologetic look at Han Menglan on the side.
Seeing this, Han Menglan shook her head slightly, signaling Su Yang not to take it too seriously, and everything about Lilith and the strange relationship between herself and Lilith, Su Yang also told Han Menglan everything on the way to the road. To Su Yang's surprise, Han Menglan not only did not react excessively to this, but also asked Su Yang to promise that Lilith must be cured.
After learning this, Su Yang had to sigh secretly in his heart: A woman's heart is a needle.
"Okay, it's not early today, you and these friends of yours can rest here, this courtyard is specially arranged for you by someone I specially ordered someone. Get some rest, and we'll rush to the Elwin Line early tomorrow morning. Grand Duke Bashut patted Su Yang on the shoulder and said.
"Thank you, Grand Duke. Su Yang thanked him.
"You're too polite, kid. ”
After laughing again, Grand Duke Basiut walked out of the room with his hands behind his back.
"What, now that things are clear, then Menglan, the proprietress and Zero should all go and rest, anyway, this courtyard is quite big. Su Yang waved his hand.
"What about you?" Han Menglan glanced at Su Yang worriedly.
"I'm fine. ”
Su Yang forced a smile and said, but anyone could see the tiredness under that smile.
......
Night is gradually falling
Su Yang lay alone on the tiles above the courtyard, looking at the moon in the sky that was about to turn into a circle, quietly thinking about something.
"Just know you're here. ”
A hearty female voice suddenly sounded next to her ears.
"Why are you here?"
Su Yang didn't raise his head and asked directly.
"I couldn't sleep, I wanted to go up to the roof to drink, but I didn't expect someone to be there before. How, don't mind if I have a drink here for a bit. ”
"Drink, and give me some by the way. Su Yang said in a low voice.
The sound of pouring wine sounded in my ears.
"Hmm...... It's really happy, it's been a long time since I've been so happy, give. The woman directly handed the golden wine gourd in her hand to Su Yang.
Su Yang took the wine gourd and looked at it in a daze for a while, stunned without the slightest movement.
"What are you talking about, do you remember the two lines of poetry I chanted when you first met me?" the woman asked.
"How can you solve my worries? Only by getting drunk can you relieve a thousand sorrows?" Su Yang recalled.
"That's right, why, relieve me, worry... Only drunk, relieve a thousand sorrows......" The woman recited these two lines of poetry repeatedly and then asked, "How?"
"What?"
"My poem. ”
"Honestly?"
"Of course. ”
"It doesn't make sense. Su Yang's mouth suddenly popped out of such a sentence.
The woman was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Yes, it's bullshit, these two lines of poetry were said by the old man in my family after he was drunk once, and he said a lot crookedly, but I only remembered these two sentences." Su Yang, you remember, there is no trouble that can't be solved by getting drunk, if there is, then get drunk again, and when the wine wakes up, you can go on desperately. ”
"Well said. ”
As soon as Su Yang raised his hand and raised his head, the golden liquor slid down his throat and into his abdomen.
