Julu City, a luxurious residence.

The antique oriental-style furnishings are particularly conspicuous here, and even the servants are wearing quaint robes, standing quietly, holding their hands and hanging their heads, and even the sound of breathing is inaudible.

On the nanmu shelf in the corner of the hall, there is a delicate red three-legged copper stove, a small piece of ambergris burning in the half-hidden ashes, and the slightest smoke floats out through the hollow lid, slowly scattering in all directions.

In the center of the hall is a six-fold screen, on which the white and light gauze depicts the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River with a delicate technique, and the figures, flowers and birds are vivid, showing the painter's exquisite brushwork.

Through the beautiful and elegant screen, a graceful figure can be vaguely seen behind it, lying on its side on the tall cloud bed, supporting its head with one hand, as if it is taking a nap.

After a while, a tall figure walked in from outside the hall, wearing a black power suit and a square face, and went straight to the screen and knelt respectfully.

"Your Highness, the news came this morning that more than 50,000 slaves and retinue of Yunyao Palace have come to the west on the Qibao Dragon ship with one of your utensils and are docking at the port. ”

Behind the screen, Suzu was still asleep, as if she hadn't heard the report, and Eighteen had been kneeling respectfully in place without moving.

After a long time, Ling's slender black eyelashes trembled slightly, and a pair of phoenix eyes slowly opened, revealing a pair of pure and transparent black eyes, adding a little more luster to her stunning face.

"Oh? It's so fast, this palace thought it would be a year and a half to wait. Suzu let go of her hand and sat up from the cloud bed, stretching her body casually, revealing a lazy style that made people dare not look directly through the screen.

Eighteen knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "How can Your Majesty bear to let His Highness suffer in this Western Barbarian Land, and specially sent the Taishi to use the Dao method to send him all the way, so he arrived in advance." ”

Ling took the fragrant tea brought by the maid and took a sip to moisten her throat, and asked casually: "If you really can't bear it, why send me to send an envoy, but I have been resting here for half a year, so I am in a hurry." Which Master is here this time?"

"Your Highness, it's Lord Taigongwang. ”

For.

Ling's movements stiffened, the expression on his face froze slightly, the lid of the cup slammed into the teacup with a crisp sound, and he gritted his teeth and said after a while: "It's actually that strange guy who came, is my father going to help me or harm me?"

"Well, although Lord Taigongwang has a strange personality, he is well-versed in Taoism and will be able to protect His Highness thoroughly. ...... It's just that the news from Bai Niwei said that he was demoted after stealing the nine-colored divine deer that His Majesty loved the most, and he had already eaten up the spirit pets you raised along the way. ”

Ling was silent for a long time, before he got up and walked down the cloud bed, waved his hand helplessly, and said helplessly: "Then let's get ready to go, let's go to the first stop, the imperial capital of the Xiling Empire." By the way, I would like to say hello to the commander of the district of Asaph County and thank him for his hospitality. ”

"Yes. Eighteen nodded respectfully and got up and exited the hall.

......

The sky shone with a dull glow, peeking through the endless layers of blood-colored clouds.

An incomparably oppressive atmosphere permeates the heavens and the earth, making people feel breathless.

The pouring rain kept falling, and I didn't know when the rain would start or end.

Above the earth were clusters of tall gray reeds, with no end in sight, and the branches and leaves had no color, as if they had been erased out of thin air. From time to time, you can see the reeds swaying for a while, and there seems to be a figure flashing among them.

The noise of the rain was drowned out by the groans of pain that filled the heavens and the earth, and in every bush of reeds, there was a never-ending wail, as if the next moment they would not be able to bear this pain and die, but they were not even qualified to die.

Green stood on the top of the towering mountain, looking down at what was happening on the earth, and the rain fell on him, sending a heart-rending pain, and then passing through his body and sinking into the earth.

The endless raindrops fell on the ground and disappeared, but the ground was still hot, scorching the soles of his feet like charcoal fire.

Every once in a while, a mighty west wind blows from the earth like a knife, making the ubiquitous wailing even more painful.

The whole world is monotonous, filled with only one eternal tone, and that is endless suffering.

There is neither life nor death, and all are eternally in this strange state.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Green turned his head to look over, and there was only a curtain of rain.

"Welcome to the world of pain, knight. ”

An old woman's voice sounded behind her, but her flat tone made people tingle.

Green turned his head again, still empty.

"Mother of Pain?" he muttered.

"You have a powerful soul that is different from ordinary people, and it is not easy to pull you here. This time the voice was still coming from behind, but this time Green didn't turn his head in vain.

"Spending so much money to get my consciousness from Fevudra to this plane, just because I ruined one of your clones?" asked Green, frowning, he could clearly feel that he was in the form of consciousness, and it was very unstable, as if it was about to dissipate.

"Huh. The Mother of Pain laughed hoarsely, her tone revealing a hint of joy, "It's just a clone, as long as I want to, I can drop countless clones to Felwood, it doesn't matter." It's you who matters. ”

"I'm just a little knight, what can you expect from me?"

"I see only one thing in your essence, and that is fighting, and you live to fight, and you live to die. Fighting means wounds, it means pain, and you are destined to meet countless strong people and suffer countless wounds. The pain left behind by each strong person is unique, and it is the other side of power.

Accept my power, become my messenger, and every pain you suffer will turn into your strength and make you stronger. The world of pain will also be open to you, and you will be the second master here for the highest glory. ”

"I refuse. ”

Green shook his head slightly. Dealing with evil gods, I've never heard of a good end.

"You'll say yes someday, and when you're completely in the world of pain, you won't be able to say no again. The Mother of Pain affirmed, not displeased by Green's refusal.

"I ......"

As soon as Green was about to speak, he saw a huge guillotine fall from the thick blood-colored clouds in the sky, splitting him in half. Immediately, his consciousness began to blur and dissipate.

Call!

Green sat up abruptly from the bed.

Looking around, it was still his room, it was late at night, everything was quiet, only the cold moonlight shone in through the glass screen, reflecting the ground in a miserable white.

Green sat on the bed panting constantly, stretched out his hands in front of his eyes and shook them tightly, the real touch came, and he was sure that this was reality.

A burning sensation burned on his forehead, and he raised his hand to touch it, and it was a curved dagger mark, which only flickered twice before disappearing, no matter how much Green urged the fighting spirit to search in his body, he couldn't find it.

"Was it just a dream, or was it real?"

It was no ordinary Void Evil God, and this strange method was by no means easy to do.

"My lord, what's wrong?"

Green's movement woke Tia, who was sleeping at the edge of the room, and she walked over in a loose nightgown and asked with sleepy eyes.

"I'm fine. ”

Green waved his hand, stepped out of bed and walked over to the glass mirror, quietly watching the night scene outside the window, sleepless, and thinking in his heart the last words of the Mother of Pain.

Not long after, Tia brought a warm cup of tea and handed it to Green, and when Green drank it in one gulp, she withdrew the cup and let Green think in place.

Even in the middle of the night, there were still a lot of lights in the Baiyun District, and every hidden light was connected, forming a huge underground kingdom controlled by the Baiyun Martial Arts Hall.

Greenmer stood and watched for a long time before suppressing the emotions in his heart and returning to the bed to continue resting.

Nothing was said all night.

He slept until the sun rose and the dazzling sunlight shone directly into the room, and Green slowly opened his eyes.

It was a rare time for him to oversleep. He patted his head, which was still a little drowsy, with his hand, before he got up and got out of bed.

Tia, who had already been standing by the side, stepped forward to serve him to change his clothes, carefully smoothing out every wrinkle.

"Georgia came early in the morning, and I saw that the adults were still asleep, so I asked him to wait outside. ”

"Well, let him in. Green commanded casually.

After washing up, Green met Georgia in his office, ready to go.

"The supplies of the trading house have all been prepared, and I will leave today, I don't know what else the adults have to order. ”

Green motioned for him to wait, took a piece of paper from the side, and immediately began to write.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, he did not inform Wolf in advance of the marriage with Fat Tom, but he did not object to it. Therefore, he briefly mentioned the matter of the advanced combat skills and the marriage in the letter, and left the investment projects of the comptoir over there to him to discuss, and it should be easy to deal with them with Wolf's sophistication.

After loading the letter into the envelope, Green took out the high-level combat skill Shui Long Jing from the table, which had already been tightly packed in a box, and handed the two things to Georgia together.

"You keep these two things close to you, and you must hand them over to my father, and he will arrange them later. Green instructed cautiously.

He is still more at ease with Georgia, although he is a little arrogant, but he is a good man, but he insists on the integrity of the knight.

"Okay, go ahead, although there are more supplies this time, it should be fine with your strength. After picking up my sister, I returned immediately to avoid accidents. ”

Not many people know about this matter at present, but he is not sure whether the brothers of Fat Tom have received the news, so they will do it in advance, so he still specially advises him.

"Yes, sir. Georgia nodded, turned and walked out.

Although he kept his promise to play for Green for three years, he didn't complain, especially after a few more sessions with Green, he was surprised by how Green had cultivated to such strength. For this reason, he also gave up his plan to travel around the country, and stayed here with peace of mind, hoping to find a further way from Green.
