Chapter XXIII: Five Years
Time is invisible and intangible, just when you don't pay attention, it has quietly passed by you, maybe you have waited, but, what can you do?
Morun walked on the bank of the river, looked at the children playing not far away, squatted down, grabbed a handful of sand, and thought quietly, maybe when he mastered the Crimson Eye like Lynn, he would probably be able to see through the passage of time.
In the blink of an eye, five years have been like sand in the hand, silently lost.
He clapped his hands and continued walking.
Five years is not a long time, but it is not a short time. The ninja school graduated four batches of students, most of whom became ninjas, some of whom went to war, and some of whom died on the battlefield.
Since the advent of Zhenyuan, the elite class has changed the teaching mode and admission method.
Except for the tokens of some large families that are still valid, the best of the school graduates are no longer enough to enter. If you want to enter the elite class for further study, you have to go to the battlefield to kill the True Abyss Demon.
Missions, kills, exploits, these are all included in the statistics. Among them, the rookie ninja who stood out on the battlefield was selected to enter the elite class, the elite class of the major countries. And the top characters of the elite class have the opportunity to be invited by the Ninja Alliance to become a real elite ninja.
Yes, the Ninja Tryout Tournament is no longer the only way for rookie ninjas to enter the Ninja Alliance.
After five years of development and evolution in the war between human beings and the true abyss, the scale of victory gradually fell to the side of mankind. Since the Lord of the True Abyss was killed by the powerhouses of the Five Kingdoms, the Eight Gates of Space have been destroyed one after another, and the strength of the True Abyss Army, which lacks an extremely strong person and follow-up troops, has been weakening.
Even a year ago, the Ninja Alliance deliberately slowed down the pace of its offensive and used the Mabuchi army as a testing ground for a new generation of ninjas. A whetstone. The center of gravity of the Ninja Alliance has been put back on the extraterritorial battlefield.
During these five years, Morun lived around three things.
The first is to create the meditation method [Thunder Fire], after six years of continuous calculations, entering the late summer in August, and finally completely perfecting the intensive study of the beginner meditation method. For this purpose, he spent a huge amount of money to buy ten dummies, and only the last one remained. And in order to be able to control the dummy, he also spent half a year studying illusions, and in general he is also an illusionist.
The beginner meditation method has been perfected, and the next step is the intermediate meditation method, which is currently progressing at "1%".
The second is the refining of potions, in addition to the wound medicine in Sin City, with his support, the Yansuke Room is already a well-known potion house in Sun City. The supply of mid-tier potions is abundant. Mo Lun was able to refine it five years ago, and five years later, he was even more proficient to the extreme, with a success rate of nearly ninety percent. To say that Mo Lun is most proud, he still overcomes the difficulties of several high-level potions. Whether it was the most important "meditation elixir" or the "body quenching elixir" for body refining, he was now refining with all his strength, and ten pairs of materials could succeed in at least two pairs, and the highest one was to refine four bottles of high-grade elixir.
From the spring of last year. Mo Lun tried his best to refine the "meditation potion", and to this day. He already had twelve bottles of meditation potions in his hands. This is what he prepared for recultivation, recultivation of the Thunder Fire Meditation Method.
The third is to investigate the Toguro family, he spent five years investigating a family, in addition to collecting some secrets, Mo Lun even personally contacted a few ninjas who awakened the blood of Toguro, intentionally or unintentionally to obtain information. It's so painstaking. The conjecture five years ago finally has some eyebrows.
The Huyulu clan actually has some connections with the True Abyss Realm.
When he first saw that demons above the Demon Lord could turn their body limbs into spears, whips, spears, and other weapons, he vaguely felt that it was quite similar to the changes in Toguro Blood. Later, I heard some "false rumors" about the escape of the heart of the Lord of the True Abyss, and I boldly associated the black heart with it. After some analysis. He felt that he might have found the source of Toyuro's blood.
A conjecture is a conjecture after all, and if it is not confirmed for a day, it will always be just a conjecture, full of uncertainty.
Leaving aside other emerging doubts, Moren took this conjecture as fact.
So, he began to wonder: Is Toyu Lu Xueji from the True Abyss World? Why did Black Heart choose himself? Is it because of the second awakening of the Blood Inheritance? Is it because he is the only one nearby who has awakened this Blood Inheritance? Why doesn't it choose other True Abyss Demons?
Although everything is just an answer obtained from my own analysis, there is no evidence to confirm it.
But Moren always felt like he had found the answer.
In five years, he had completely mastered the body that had been transformed by the power of blood, and the same as the original blue and black flesh wings, like an extension of his limbs, he could even use it to fight, and his strength was much stronger than his body. It's a pity that this body doesn't have Zoro, so he can't release ninjutsu, he doesn't have vocal cords, so he can't speak, and he doesn't even have organs other than the heart, so he can't be considered a human at all.
Mo Lun has dissected the True Abyss Demon, including the Demon Lord, and they all have internal organs, so this separated body is not a True Abyss Demon.
Morren gave the blue-black body a name: the avatar.
......
Autumn will be in a few days.
Seeing that the sun was starting to set, Moren decided to go back.
Tonight is an important day, a crucial day for him to rebuild.
The shadow was stretched by the setting sun, and a little boy walked to the river to pick up a sleek pebble, and he suddenly looked up at the back of the fading away, and was stunned.
"Xiaofan, your mother has called you home for dinner!" a little girl with a ponytail bent over and shouted on the high slope.
Xiao Fan came back to his senses, hurriedly said "oh oh" twice, clutched the pebbles and ran over.
Seeing this, several children around also dispersed.
Mo Lun suddenly stopped and looked back, his brow furrowed slightly.
Immediately, his figure flashed and left.
"Has it been discovered?" until Moren and the child were gone, when a voice suddenly rang out.
But seeing where Mo Lun had stayed, two figures and two men appeared ghostly.
"It should be!"
The man who spoke had long blond hair, and he didn't know where to take out a silver-white scroll, unfolded it, and read: "Fifteen times for two-star difficulty, seven times for three-star difficulty, twice for four-star difficulty, and once for seven-star difficulty." ”
"Seven-star difficulty?" exclaimed the short-haired brown man next to him.
The long-haired blond man nodded. said: "The number recorded here is 002, and like Senior Tu Zhu, he should have participated in that mission. ”
"If you can come back alive, your strength has reached the level of three stars!"
The blond long-haired man nodded, and said expressionlessly: "If you can find us, it should be on the same level as us." ”
"No matter! Our task is to send out invitations. Hehe, even if he comes, he will be my junior at that time. The man with short brown hair grinned.
Putting away the scroll and glancing at his companion, the man shook his head and said, "It was inconvenient just now, the reward issued by the alliance still has to be delivered." ”
With that, the figures of the two flashed and disappeared in place.
Morun returned to the courtyard and hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign in front of the door. After a little pranayama, I am ready to rebuild.
His eyes were closed, and suddenly they opened again.
He pushed open the door and looked at the two men who appeared in the courtyard.
"Who are you?" Morun's voice was calm, and he sensed the presence of ninjas near the river. Not only did he notice it, but the child seemed to see them as well.
The blonde man pulled out a diamond-shaped token from his bosom with the word "Alliance" engraved on it, and Morun stepped forward. Took the token and injected it into Zhuo Luo, with a buzz. A light curtain appeared, and on the light curtain was the head of a man with long blond hair.
He nodded, returned the token, and asked, "I wonder what the Alliance is looking for me?"
"Remember the assignment from five years ago?" the man collected the token and unfolded the silver scroll.
"Mission?" Mo Lun was stunned for a moment, and then showed a sudden expression. Answered: "It was the mission award that came here?" After five years of joining the special operations team to participate in the mission to destroy the space gate, if it weren't for their arrival, Mo Lun would have almost forgotten that there was such a thing as a mission reward.
At that time, no one told him about the completion of the mission, and the disbandment of the special operations group was too sudden. Rin didn't tell him anything specific, or Rin didn't know about it, so Morun's obligation to be a ninja was left behind.
This time, the long-haired man was stunned, and he wondered, "How can you be sure that it is a task reward, not a punishment?"
Moren shrugged his shoulders and said, "I asked myself if I hadn't done anything bad for the league. So ......"
The brown-haired man laughed, "Haha, that's right! Well, not only the rewards, but also an invitation. ”
Morlun asked, "What invitation?"
"Accept the reward first, and I'll tell you more about the invitation later. The blonde man glared at his companion and said, "Wait a minute." With that, he pressed his right hand to the ground, and with a bang, a metal box appeared.
"According to the mission you performed, the alliance has decided to reward you with three bottles of "meditation potion", one secret technique, two volumes of advanced ninjutsu, and ten million world banknotes. There is a catalog of secret arts and advanced ninjutsu for you to choose from. ”
He took out a crystal card from the metal box, "There is a million amount in it, and you can withdraw cash at any crystal card house." ”
Saying that, after Mo Lun accepted the crystal card, he took out two thin books, which were printed with "Secret Arts" and "Advanced Ninja Encyclopedia" respectively, and the blonde man stared at Mo Lun and said, "You have half an hour to choose, remember, it is a secret art and two advanced ninja methods." ”
Mo Lun opened the encyclopedia of secret techniques, swept the chip over, and asked, "Is all the secret methods okay?"
The blonde man nodded.
Mo Lun opened the advanced ninja encyclopedia again, and after recording it on the chip, he closed the book and had already made a decision: "I want the secret technique of "Eight Gates: Gangbody" in the Eight Extremes, as well as the advanced ninjutsu "Thunder Escape Thunder Cloud" and "Thunder Escape Storm Thunder Technique". ”
"Okay!" the blonde man nodded, retracting the book, and by the way, handed the three bottles of "meditation potion" that had been prepared earlier to Morun.
With a bang, the metal box disappeared into the courtyard.
Then, the blonde man took a few steps back, his hands quickly sealed, his thumb, index finger and tail finger opened and pressed against the wall, there was a strange sound, three black runes spread, and the faint light bloomed, forming the form of a "door", and with a squeak, a four-meter-high gate was pushed open.
It is the Gate of Locks.
Moron had seen it once, and in Sin City, Uncle Deer had summoned it once in front of him, but there were some subtle differences between the two doors.
The blonde man walked in and soon came out again. After coming out, the gate slowly disappears.
He handed Moron two scrolls, as well as a skin scroll.
"You sign a blood pact here to make sure that you don't teach the secret method and the ninja method to others privately. The blonde man took out a contract, and Moron glanced at it a few times and pressed the blood mark.
"Our mission is accomplished!" the blonde man said, glancing at the brown-haired man, and disappeared into the courtyard in an instant, very chic and neat.
Mo Lun stood in place in a daze, "This is leaving, what about the invitation that I promised?"
Suddenly, two slightly embarrassed figures appeared in the courtyard again, and the brown-haired man looked left and right, but he didn't look at Mo Lun. The blonde man coughed dryly, hiding his embarrassment, and said, "I almost forgot, there is still an invitation that I didn't give you." ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly handed a palm-wide card in his hand to Mo Lun and explained: "This is the admission invitation letter for the new Alliance Academy, please arrive in the Alliance before January 15 next year." If you are in the Land of Fire, you can take the Alliance Ironclad Line 6, and the invitation letter has the address of the Ironclad Car, and the invitation is also a ticket, so don't lose it. ”
After saying it in one breath, he glanced at the brown-haired man, and wanted to leave in an instant.
This time, Mo Lun didn't let them go, and asked aloud, "May I ask if you are also students of the Alliance Academy?"
Before the blonde man could speak, the brown-haired man smirked: "Of course, we got the top ten in the ninja tryout, and we only received the invitation three years later. As he spoke, he showed a mouthful of white teeth, shining.
Mo Lun's eyes flashed, and he asked again: "Then do you know who in the alliance knows the most about seals? I have a friend who was sealed in the crystal by General Zhenyuan and can't get out. "The 'one' friend he said is naturally the two daughters of Elsa, the princess of the Snow Country, and Anna, the princess of the River Country.
In the past five years, Mo Lun has not only cared about himself, in order to free Aisha and Anna from the cube crystal, he also asked Old Man Xuan. I thought that the hall master of this secret law hall had a way, but I knew that I was told that the entire Fire Nation was not capable of doing it, not that the Fire Nation was not capable of rescuing them, but that it was impossible to rescue them safely without harming the two princesses.
Of course, this is definitely a shirk, and Mo Lun doesn't believe that a huge fire country can't even solve this little thing. If this crystal was sealed by the Lord of the True Abyss, then it was really hard to say, but it was only sealed by a general!
Morun didn't believe that the Fire Nation couldn't do it, so would the Fire Nation believe what he said?
Just find two girls sealed in the crystal, and say that they are princesses, and they are both princesses, who are you fooling? The country of rivers has been destroyed, the country of snow has been banned, and it is impossible to see the light of day again in ten years.
Without evidence, it is useless for you to say anything.
Mo Lun could only think of his own way, and he heard from many sources, knowing that the Ninja Alliance might have talents in this area, so he left a thought.
At this time, when I saw the students of the academy of the alliance, of course I had to consult.
PS: A big chapter of more than 4,000 words, one chapter today. Another: I owe everyone a chapter for rewarding, and I will find time to make up for it later. Thanks to the "Master Lonely" monthly pass. (To be continued.) )
