Because all the guards and servants in the county king's mansion were dismissed, the three meals a day and the change of clothes on weekdays fell on Qi Ling. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info This is not a problem at all for the shopkeeper Xiao Erqi Ling, who has been serving tea and pouring water to cook rice and chopping wood and washing clothes and feeding horses at the post station since he was a child. The difference is only that the iron pots and copper spatulas that I used to be familiar with are replaced by the delicate sterling silver tableware and crystal cups and plates of the Tianshu Youhua Family.

At first, Yinchen was a little reluctant to go, feeling a little distressed about using Qiling as a servant, so he volunteered to help out in the kitchen and laundry house, but soon he clumsily lit the spare pile of dry wood in the corner, and also broke three crystal trays inlaid with rubies, and by the way, made his pure white clothes look like they had come out of a coal stove. Qi Ling looked at the silver dust with black charcoal and red eyes and said, "Please, can you go out?"

On the first day of Yinchen's help, Tianshuu Youhua's expression had been a little melancholy during lunch, but she finally put down the bowl of chicken soup in her hand, and while spitting out the chicken feathers that had not been plucked out of her mouth, she seriously said to Yinchen, who was sitting opposite her, and was looking at herself with anticipation at the moment, looking forward to feedback: "I heard that you grew up in the place called Brown Town in the east, do you have sugar in the chicken soup there?"

Silver Dust: "......"

On the second day of Yinchen's help, Guishan Lianquan held a meeting in the conference room to arrange the battle plan, while rubbing his back all the time, looking at her appearance, he felt that her clothes were crawling like ants, and it was difficult to sit still. Silver Dust was a little puzzled and concerned about what was wrong with her. Guishan Lianquan hesitated for a moment and asked him, "I heard that you are responsible for cleaning my clothes?" Yinchen nodded seriously and said, "Yes, and I heard Qiling say that adding the slurry of the soaphorn fruit to wash it together can produce a lot of foam and wash the clothes more cleanly, so I also added a lot." Guishan Lianquan's face was a little embarrassed, she stopped talking for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask him: "Then do you know that after adding soaphorn slurry, you need a lot of water to clean it before drying?"

Silver Dust: "......"

In short, in those few days, Qi Ling was unprecedentedly popular in this small group, and his status was close to silver dust for a while.

As the days passed, the bright moon in the night sky became more and more complete. The pressure on Silver Dust and Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring is also increasing. The four of them were spending more and more time together in the conference room.

"Silver Dust, you said that the first layer of space under Eternal Island is the Soul Mound, and to reach the place of captivity, you have to dive layer by layer, right?" Qiling asked as he added firewood to the fireplace.

"Well, Soul Tsukasa is the first layer of space we need to break through. Silver Dust walked back to the conference table from the window, he had just opened the window that had been closed for a day, and the cold wind blew into the conference room that had been baked by the fire all day, and he felt a lot more comfortable in his stuffy chest.

"However, I remember you told me that the Seventeen Idol Chess Pieces located in the Rennes Road that lead to the Soul Tomb can only be entered once......" Kirin frowned, a little puzzled.

"As far as I know, most of the chess pieces in the Yaslan realm can be used repeatedly, but the chess pieces leading to the soul mound are strictly limited to one use, and the stone wall that enters the corridor outside the idol is also a chess piece with targeted filtering, and only the king and the apostle are allowed to pass through. I hadn't given much thought to the meaning behind it before, but as things stand, it seems that the Silver Priest must have set these restrictions in order to minimize the chances of others getting close to Gilgamesh. ”

"So it's possible that the kings and apostles of the generations before us were able to enter the soul mound countless times?"

"It's possible. Ghost Mountain Lianquan took her question, "It's just that every prince and apostle can only get one Horcrux from the Soul Mound, and there is this shackle, so those who have entered the Soul Mound will not deliberately enter the Soul Mound again, after all, in addition to the Horcruxes, there are only dangerous dark and evil ancient soul beasts left, so everyone may not be very clear, whether the chess pieces of the Seventeen Statues can be used multiple times or can only be triggered once?"

"Then what are we going to do?Lianquan, can you shoot your Resurrection Chain into the bottom of the sea and then pull us down as fast as you can?" Qi Ling scratched his hair, "I think your chain seems to be infinitely extendable!"

"I'm afraid not, the reason why my reincarnation chain can be infinitely extended is based on the Immortal Lord's extreme regeneration talent, and the core inside the chain is actually the hair of the former Sixth Degree King Siliuer......" Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring stopped, she looked at the heavenly bouquet of Youhua, and hesitated, but there was no special disgust or resistance on Youhua's face, so she continued, "But the depth of the seabed where the soul mound is located is too deep, and I am not very sure about the limit of the chain splitting and extension, whether it can reach the depth of the soul mound." And to reach that depth within the time we dive and hold our breath, then the rebirth chain must pull us down very fast, beyond a certain depth, the rapid change of water pressure in the deep sea can make us bleed in an instant. ”

"Can you make a passage or a hole in the sea or something, can't the Lord of Yaslan be able to control the water?Silver Dust, can you?" Qi Ling was still a little unwilling.

"No, I can't. Silver Dust sighed softly, "The depth of the soul mound is too deep, and my soul power can't control the water for such a long distance. ”

"And how do we get there?" Kirin leaned back in his chair, his eyebrows furrowed.

"We can use the power of Hywin. Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring raised his head, his eyes flashing with the light of the fire.

"Who is Haiyin, so powerful?" Qi Ling sat up, holding his chin and asked Lianquan.

"Haiyin is a giant soul beast that lives in the deep sea, and has always lived in my brother's giant sword, and my brother and I have always shared soul beasts and horcruxes, so in a sense, Haiyin is also my soul beast. "Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring looked at the cloudy sky outside the window, it looked like it was going to snow, the light was very dim, and it was almost dusk," But when my brother died, Haiyin disappeared into the sea. The greatsword I possess at the moment is just an empty shell, and there are no soul beasts inhabiting it. I must first find the silver and retrieve it back to the greatsword before I can continue to control it and let it take us down. ”

"Even if we can successfully find Haiyin, how can we break through the blessing of one of the four ancient soul beasts dormant at the bottom of the soul mound and reach the next layer of Utur Ruins? You two must have forgotten how terrifying the blessing is, right?"

"Lianquan, do you remember the gate at the end of the soul mound? the stone door with two copper rings on it, do you remember, those two copper rings are chess pieces, and they both lead to the ruins of Yutur!"

"If they want to stop us from rescuing Gilgamesh, then they will definitely revoke all access to the place of captivity, and from what I know of Chira, he is extremely thoughtful, even if others are not aware of this, there is absolutely no way that Chira will allow such a loophole. It is even possible that he will turn those two chess pieces into a complete 'death trap', leading us to a terrifying place where there is no possibility of survival. Silver Dust looked at the dim sky outside, and some haze welled up in his eyes.

"Chila is so sinister, I see that he has clear eyebrows, but I didn't expect him to be this kind of person. Kirin said with his hands behind his head and puffing out.

"If that's the case, then with the strength of the four of us, it is absolutely impossible to kill the blessing at the bottom of the soul mound in the depths of the sea of fog. Tianbou Youhua was a little impatient, and the whole rescue plan was far more difficult than she had imagined.

"With the current soul power of the four of us, it is indeed impossible to defeat the Blessing ......" Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring's expression did not look very negative, "However, if I just want to pass through the defense line of Blessing and quickly reach the next layer of Utur Ruins, I still have some certainty." ”

"If we don't kill the blessing, how can it allow us to pass through?" Tianshu Youhua didn't believe it, but she looked at Lianquan's expression, and it didn't seem like she was talking nonsense, "Isn't the purpose of its existence to be the first line of defense to imprison Gilgamesh?"

"If it had been before, I wouldn't have been sure. But now, I think I can give it a try. "Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring's gaze is very firm.

"Before, what before?" asked the Heavenly Bouquet of Flowers, confused.

"Before I became Lord of the Fifth Degree, when I was only an apostle. There was a glimmer of light in the eyes of the Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring, "Once we and Qi Ling almost died under the blessing of the hand. At that time, I also tried to use my talent to control the blessing, but it was useless, its soul power was too huge, and my talent was like trying to use a thin silk thread to control a kite that was swept into a tornado. But now, I've become the Lord of the Fifth Degree, and my ability to control soul beasts is vastly different from before. You can't completely control the blessing, but it's still easy to just 'fool it'. ”

"'Fool it'?" Yuka didn't quite understand, "What do you mean?"

"The reason why the blessing is difficult to break through is that it will spontaneously attack all life forms with soul power within its sensing range, especially on the night of the full moon, when it will be more sensitive and vigilant during its own reproduction. Although my talent and soul power are not enough to completely control the blessing and make it completely obey my instructions, with the power of my current hypnosis, it can seriously interfere with its soul power sense, so that it ignores our soul power and cannot detect our existence, we only need to hide our soul power to the lowest level, and slow down the flow of golden soul mist in the body to the slowest speed, then, I am sure that I can make the blessing illusion that we are four small stones that fell from the rock, in this case, we only need to pass through the gaps in its huge body。 ”

"Great!" Qi Ling's eyes lit up with excitement, but his smile suddenly fell, and his brows furrowed in confusion, "But how do we get to the bottom of the soul mound? To reach the bottom of the sea of fog, we have to release the soul beast, right? You can't climb down the cliff, how long will it take, it is estimated that the full moon night has passed, and the blessings have already given birth. ”

"So, we have to take the way of falling from a height. Lianquan nodded, "The time I can hypnotize and bless is extremely limited, so I must break through vertically in the shortest possible time." ”

"When you say vertical breakthrough, you don't mean jumping straight off the cliff, right?" Qi Ling muttered, his voice a little trembling, and his little face looked a little pale.

"That's right, once you cross the blessing, Qi Zero, you and I will quickly release the soul beasts, the Wings and the Fangs of the Snow, and be responsible for our smooth landing. ”

"You said that your hypnotic blessing has very limited time, and what if it comes to its senses before we have time to go through it? Tianshu Youhua listened to the plan of the Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring, and was a little hesitant.

"Even if this is the case, then we have one last line of defense, and that is the skirt of the goddess owned by Silver Dust. Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring's gaze looked at Silver Dust, "Even if my hypnosis fails, and Blessing senses that there is a faint soul power approaching it, then, even if it attacks, it will inevitably be like a tiger trying to kill a mosquito, and it will only wave slightly." Even if the blessing is the four great soul beasts of the ancients, the skirt of the goddess should be enough to resist the temptation of its full strength. When the blessing discovers that the attack has failed, it must be more convinced that the soul power it has detected is only an illusion. ”

Yinchen was silent for a while, and nodded slightly, judging from his solemn expression, he was not too sure.

"However, there is one thing we must pay attention to, it is not easy to suppress soul power, especially when the soul magician's body is in an abnormal state, the soul power will be released and activated instinctively, so as to protect itself...... In the process of falling from a height, the rapidly changing pressure and weightless interference will put our soul power in an extremely unstable state, so we must practice repeatedly......"

"It's easy to say, how do you practice, jump off the building?"

"It's okay, Youhua, I'm confident, we will definitely be able to!From tomorrow, the two of us will hurry up and practice jumping off the building!" Qi Ling looked at the worried people, in order to cheer them up, so he got up from the chair, patted his chest, and looked confident, "Youhua, we will definitely be able to!"

As he spoke, he walked towards the window, he looked out the window, the conference room was on the fourth floor, he looked at the small fountain sculpture at his feet, turned around, smiled awkwardly, and said a little cowardly: "Jump up from the second floor first!"

【Western Aslan Empire: Condensation Cave】

In the icy wilderness, the moon hung over the blue night sky.

A bitter cold wind howled through the glaciers and valleys, and the wind swept in biting ice debris and debris. This far northern land has not been visited for a long time, and the thick snow on the ground is like a brand new quilt, without any human footprints. The barren end of this world, where there is no trace of temperature and life.

At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps in the mouth of the dark hole at the junction of the glacier.

At the entrance of the dark cave, the top of the cave was covered with sharp icicles, which looked like the fangs of a monster, braving the cold, however, the inside of the cave was completely different from the cold outside, and the deeper you walked along the ancient stone steps, the more humid and stuffy it became.

Inside the condensed cavern, there were corpses all over the place at this moment, and the viscous blood splattered everywhere on the ice walls and stone steps had gradually dried up and coagulated. The barely flowing air was filled with a disgusting fishy sweetness. It was the smell of blood mixed with internal organs.

A pair of young barefoot, unhurried, stepped past the fragmented corpse and walked towards the exit in the light above the cave. Going up the stone steps, the air gradually flowed, the stuffy and humid fishy smell gradually dissipated, and the young man gently breathed in the gradually cold and fresh air, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile.

A pair of bloodstained hands suddenly reached out from the ground and grabbed the boy's ankles. He lowered his head and sighed softly at the man who was still struggling to stop him, and then he crouched down and gently embraced the dying man in his arms, and the boy stroked the man's hesitant face with fear, and then twisted his head vigorously.

The sound of the cervical vertebrae clicking and shattering echoed clearly in the cavern.

The boy stood up and continued to walk towards the brighter and brighter exit, he sniffed greedily at the cold air on the tip of his nose, and excitedly greeted the new heavens and new earths he had been waiting for for many years, and welcomed the infinite vastness of the new world.

He walked up the last stone staircase and stood at the mouth of the Condensed Cavern. His tattered cotton robe, covered in blood, swirled in the wind, like a banner of desire that wept blood. His fair skin and delicate and picturesque face looked so harmonious with the silver-covered heaven and earth in front of him, he was like a young spirit born of ice and snow, looking down on his own territory.

He raised his eyes, which had been lowered, and admired the pure white snow he had never seen before, the magnificent glaciers, the frozen frozen soil and the cold wind howling like a knife. Beneath the long, thick eyelashes were ruby eyes, his eyes shimmered with a blazing red light like fire and blood, and in his eyes, the edges of those two scarlet pupils were a circle of ancient words that could not be deciphered, as if they were tattooed with the reddish red marks of the most red rose flowers.

The boy looked at the man who was standing at the entrance of the cave to greet him.

He was dressed in a pure white robe, heavy and rich, as if woven from the softest feathers, and the moonlight shrouded it, giving it a hazy glow. The placket and hem of the robe are embroidered with a triangular pattern in pale gold. He wears a hood, his head bowed, and his face is hidden in the shadows.

"Who are you?" the boy's thin lips curled into a smile, his pointed teeth looked like a tame little beast, and his voice, which was in the stage of voice change, sounded a sense of division mixed with evil and purity, "Let me see your face." ”

"You don't want to see my face......" The white-robed man who greeted him smiled faintly, still not raising his head, "You want to see my eyes." ”

The young man's smile converged on his face, and the red light in his pupils became even more fierce and hot. (To be continued.) )
