Chapter 24 Distance
Qianye looked around, except for the gray fog, it was empty, there was nothing else, and there was no head. At this moment, he suddenly felt a whirlwind of the sky, and the surroundings quickly became dark, and he could not see anything.
The next moment, Chiya woke up in his bed. He was sweating profusely, his clothes were soaked from the inside out, his body was empty, and his Force was exhausted, as if he had just gone through a great battle and exhausted all his strength.
Touching his sweaty forehead, Qianye pondered this strange dream, and suddenly had an intuition that came out of nowhere, if his Force was deeper, he might be able to go further in the dream world and explore the source of that sound.
Then he shook his head, shaking off what seemed like a ridiculous idea, but the voice was too real to be dismissed as a meaningless dream.
Qianye's mind had a thousand thoughts floating and sinking, and the most condensed was fixed on the three special beings encountered during this time, the Song Clan Ancient Scroll, the Dark Gold Blood, and the Rune Fragment. Which one is relevant to this?
He lay down for a while, then got up and took a closer look at the fragment of the crystal he had obtained from Baron Darur. Aside from completely incomprehensible runes and array patterns, there was nothing else. If there is any secret that can be discovered, it may be easier to find out in the hands of the Blood Baron.
Qianye recalled the contents of Baron Darul's notes again, but he also found nothing. At that time, after returning to Heini Town, he wanted to ask Hu Wei if there were any single old people in the town who had special deeds or had recently died, but after asking about the situation, he dispelled the idea of exploring from this way. There are so many single elderly people among the aborigines and the scavengers who come and go that no one cares about their lives or deaths.
Perhaps the only clue is the Forgotten Mountains of the Beacon Continent mentioned in Darul's diary.
The Beacon Continent is the name of the dark race, and on the map of the Empire, that continent is named the Western Continent. This is an upper continent where the Terrans and the Dark Race are evenly matched, with each side occupying half of the territory, and for many years it has won and lost each other, and neither has taken advantage.
The Western Continent is also the foundation of the Zhao Lord, one of the four major lords of the empire, where the famous Wolf Smoke Legion under the new patriarch Zhao Weihuang is stationed. In addition, the rebels on the continent were also very powerful, operating openly in several provinces, two of which at one time declared independence.
At that time, the dark race provoked a new round of war, and under the attack of the dark army and the human rebels, the local garrison of the empire, including the northwest general Zhao Weihuang, was exhausted and took care of one or the other. The empire had to transfer Lin Xitang from the north to sit in the town, although the situation was finally stabilized, but the war has been stalemate until now, and Lin Xitang has been dragged in the western Xinjiang.
In addition to the fact that the worldly territories that can be firmly controlled by the Imperial Gate Lords are relatively calm, the situation bordering the Dark Territory or rebels and the newly reclaimed provinces is extremely chaotic, and it is hardly much better than the Eternal Night Continent.
Thinking of this, Qianye decided to wait for the end of the Eternal Night War, and then go to the Western Continent to see, the Blackwing Monarch is the Great Lord of the Blood Clan, and everything in the Blood Clan is suitable for him to use, this may be an opportunity to increase his strength. After the two great battles of Brahms and Sodo, Thousand Nights deeply realized that the battle between the strong can decide the outcome of the battle.
He wants to get stronger strength, and in this chaotic world, whether it is to survive or protect what he cares about, strength is the cornerstone of everything.
Qianye's extremely tired state was finally relieved, and he was no longer sleepy, so he simply got dressed, pushed open the door, and prepared to go out for a walk.
Late at night, Blackstream City was unlike anything it used to be, most of the city was still brightly lit, and the steam from the huge city defense machinery enveloped several blocks, which were still being fortified. There weren't too many civilians on the streets at this time, but they weren't deserted, and many of the improvised reservists were camping, and expeditionary force patrols walked over almost a quarter of an hour.
Qianye walked aimlessly in the streets and alleys, and when he passed through a street, he caught a glimpse of a figure standing at the mouth of the alley at the other end. He was shaken, and immediately stopped, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly walked back and looked over there.
The man was still standing in place, across a ten-meter alley, looking at Qianye from afar.
Although her face was hidden behind a hood and a dust-proof veil, her posture and bearing, especially the eyes that seemed to contain the entire world, were unforgettable.
Qianye stood for a long time, and the other party seemed to have the same patience, and always stood quietly. He finally walked down the alley, and she greeted him, and the two of them stood still in the middle of the alley.
"It's you. Qianye thought about it for a long time, he had something to say, and he felt that it was not good to say anything, so he only spit out these two words in the end.
"It's me. She slowly pulled down her veil, revealing a perfect face.
It's the night pupil.
Qianye's expression was cold and hard, but there was a hint of helplessness in his tone that he didn't realize, "You shouldn't come now." β
The night pupil looked at Qianye calmly, without the slightest fluctuation in his voice, and said, "But I'm already here." β
Here and now, here and now.
"What are you going to do, are you going to kill me?" said the night pupil, glancing at the twin flowers and shining fangs on Chiya's waist.
Chiya habitually pressed the handle of the gun, but her fingers retracted, as if a little cramped, for a seasoned warrior, this superfluous little action could be fatal on the battlefield.
"You" Qianye only said one word and stopped.
Needless to ask why Yotomi is here, it's clear that she's also a member of the war draft. The Night Pupil has the perfect bloodline latent ability, allowing her to operate in the Terran area without scruples, making her the best candidate for infiltration and spying information. At a time when the Dark Army had swept through the entire Trois-Rivières, she showed up in Blackstream, apparently to see the city's defenses with her own eyes, so that the Dark Commander could decide whether or not to swallow the troublesome city in one gulp.
Qianye took a deep breath, "You go, don't come again." β
The corners of the night pupil's mouth curved up slightly, as if smiling, and said, "What's the matter?" β
"Don't you want to spy on the city's defenses? As you can see, Blackstream City is not afraid of a battle. "Wei Bonian's arrangement is waiting for the scouts of the dark race, letting them see the reality of the city defense, and then weigh the price of the siege.
Qianye's expression was calm and cold, with an unquestionable insistence, "Next time, when we meet again on the battlefield, I will kill you." β
Night Hitomi's gaze suddenly moved down slightly, and seeing that Qianye's fingers were still rubbing aimlessly on the handle of the gun, she smiled slightly, raised her eyes and kept seeing Qianye's eyes, and said, "Okay, I saw it." Then I'll go. β
She turned around and walked a few steps, then suddenly turned back and said, "If possible, get out of here early, the war of the eternal night is completely different from what you think." With that, Hitomi quickened her pace and prepared to leave.
Qianye's voice suddenly came from behind, "Don't let me see you on the battlefield next time." β
Night Hitomi paused, tilted her head slightly, revealing a graceful silhouette, her tone was indifferent but extremely determined, "We will definitely meet again, on the battlefield." With that, she continued on, and in a blink of an eye she melted into the night and disappeared.
Qianye was still standing in place, and he didn't understand what he wanted to add to what he wanted to say.
Hitomi should be not far from a general, but her abilities seem to be mostly based on Hitomi's powerful abilities. Qianye already had a hunch that he would be able to suppress the blood clan's abilities from the bloodline, especially when his level continued to increase, the lethality to the blood clan was particularly huge. If Qianye reaches the eighth or ninth level and encounters the night pupil again, as long as he has not become a general, then most likely he will really die under him.
The wind blew from the wilderness, passed through the thick walls, and passed through the barricades, and when he threw himself into the arms of a thousand nights, he still felt a chill penetrate his bones.
Qianye was no longer in the mood to go shopping, he returned to his small building, and fell asleep directly, but after lying for several hours, he could not sleep. All kinds of thoughts in his heart are up and down, like a mess of tangled together, there is a blank space in a corner, like a bottomless pit, something is constantly falling, endless, endless, endless, but he can't grasp or touch, only uneasy.
He and Night Hitomi are already in the same war zone, and if they follow this path, they will eventually fight.
On the night of the earthen castle, the scene of the Force bomb shot by the twin flowers exploding on the body of the night pupil repeatedly appeared in front of the eyes of the thousand nights. At that moment, she couldn't avoid it. Will she be even more unavoidable next time?
The distance between dawn and eternal night is the entire world.
Early the next morning, Qianye went to see Wei Bonian.
Wei Bonian was obviously in a good mood, he was standing in the study practicing calligraphy, and the half of the cloud smoke handmade by King Ji was lying quietly in the corner of the desk. I haven't seen Wei Bonian take it out and use it for thousands of nights, and the few times I saw him open the box, it was just for appreciation.
Wei Bonian's pen is very slow, looking at his gestures, it seems that he is not holding a pen, but holding a mountain.
Qianye didn't bother him, waiting for the painting to finish.
Wei Bonian put away his pen, read it several times, and said to Qianye with great satisfaction: "Come, how about seeing my handwriting?"
There are four big characters written on the banner: immovable as a mountain. The momentum is thick and dignified, like four peaks standing on paper.
Although Qianye doesn't know calligraphy, he can still feel the momentum of the ink through the back of the paper, and praises: "The momentum is really heavy!"
Wei Bonian smiled a little smugly and said, "My Wei family's Qianzhong Mountain cultivation has reached the back, and the comprehension of the artistic conception has surpassed the hard practice. If you can't achieve the meaning of the majestic mountains, it is difficult to practice this secret method to the fullest. However, there are many avenues, and everyone takes a different path. It was also back then that I suddenly realized that I had discovered the method of honing my artistic conception from calligraphy, so that I could go further. But today, it's the limit. β
After a pause, Wei Bonian pointed to the banner and said, "This painting is my proud work in recent years, why don't I give it to you?"
Qianye also liked this character, and unceremoniously thanked Wei Bonian at the moment and put it away.
Wei Bainian spent a lot of time slowly and meticulously putting away the table full of pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and Qianye watched and waited from the side.
"Qianye, come and sit. Wei Bonian waited for everything to be done before beckoning Qianye to sit down. He took a sip of the tea bowl in his hand, and said slowly: "Your heart is a little messy, what are you doing?"
