In the seventh month of the fifth and sixth eight years of the Altino calendar, the island bar in the northeast of the Northeast Sea of the Windy Continent

"Frankly speaking, I still can't figure it out, how could that old guy treat me so favorably and greet me with something as high-grade as the Magic Sealing Needle?"

Recalling the sluggish expression when he first heard the word "magic needle", Han Te also felt quite funny.

Among the various magic guides that block power, the Demon Sealing Needle is undoubtedly the one that makes the demon masters the most distorted. With Chirez's strength, after being pierced into his body by more than a dozen sealing needles in a row, his power was unexpectedly unexpectedly discharged, and he was knocked out of the sky in humiliation.

However, such a terrifying thing was pierced into his body, but it had little effect on Hante at that time.

"I heard that the Demon Sealing Needle is specially used to deal with top demon masters, and is even used to block the Demon God. However, at that time, I was just a small role in the realm that was not in the stream, not to mention only three magic sealing needles, even if I inserted three hundred, it didn't matter...... Hahaha!"

was also hit by the magic needle, and Hante's cheerfulness was more than 10,000 times that of Qires. Since he knew the origin of the golden needle on his arm, the only thing that bothered him was whether there was a way to take out the magic sealing needle and sell it for money?

The Demon Sealing Needle still has a certain effect, at least, because of its powerful effect of blocking the demonic energy, so that Han Te's deformation can be stabilized, and for so many years, except for life and death, the true face of the demon race has never been exposed.

However, is it necessary to waste three magic sealing needles to do what some high-level magic guides can do? Han Te still can't think of a reason, and the old man has never reappeared since, but has left countless mysteries in vain.

"The old woman asked me to join the Qinglou and show me the strength of the organization, but I always felt that their style was not my personality, so I never agreed. The old woman said that since I am not from the Qinglou, she can't teach me martial arts, and I can only rely on myself. ”

It is because of this that the Qinglou Alliance introduced Hante to Alcatraz Island. For a teenager who has a foundation in superior martial arts but lacks actual experience in death battles, Alcatraz Island is indeed an excellent place to practice.

Obviously he is a demon, but he wants to connect with humans and hunt down uninvited guests from the realm tunnel, which Han Te finds very ironic. However, in the vast and far-reaching Demon Realm, there are as many races as stars in the sky, and the relationship between them is 108,000 miles apart, and Han Te does not have the psychological burden of killing his compatriots.

On Alcatraz Island, I met my friend Bai Fei and lived a very interesting life, and in terms of martial arts, it also laid the foundation for rapid progress in the future.

After ending his career as a mercenary on Alcatraz Island, he began to work as a prize hunter all over the mainland, looking for a way to improve and break through his martial arts on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was also looking for his sister who might have come to the human world.

"In the vast sea of people, it is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. Work with us, this is the right path that will really benefit you. ”

In Shangri-La's Magic House, the lady again asks for solicitation, but Hunter refuses again.

Nodding yes is a very simple matter, not only can you let the Qinglou Alliance help you find someone, but you can also practice the thousand-year-old mastery they have preserved, and even the peerless magic skills of another continent, but Han Te's reason for refusing this time is different from before.

When he first arrived in the world, Han Te was wary of everything, didn't like the style of Qinglou, and didn't trust this group of mysterious women, but after the affirmation of time, he began to distinguish who was sincerely thinking about himself and providing assistance, so his mentality unconsciously changed to "If you agree, this favor is owed for a lifetime and can never be paid off."

Accustomed to living alone, before the "things to do" were done, Han Te refused to belong, so he declined the lady's kindness and entrusted her to use the Qinglou's intelligence network to help find someone.

For those who are not familiar with Hinter, it is difficult to imagine that he has such a delicate side, but the lady who sees him as a nephew can be completely understood. Therefore, she accepted the young man's insistence with a sigh of humor.

If you are not a member of the Qinglou, you want to use the intelligence network of the Qinglou in this way, and the price is a lot of money. And when the search range is getting bigger and bigger, the astronomical amount of bills has skyrocketed again and again, although the lady always said elegantly that as long as she joins the Qinglou, all debts will be written off, but the stubborn Han Te just didn't agree to die, and began to run around all corners of the Wind Continent, becoming a gold-sucking ghost hunter who worked hard to make money to pay off his debts.

“...... So, you should know that when I first started, I wasn't really that greedy for money. ”

Hante's confession didn't get much resonance from the two companions, Li Yu looked at Gengoro and asked, "This guy said he didn't love money before, what do you think?"

"Well...... Just like the old-timers of Dongfang Xuanlong said that he was not as lustful as he is today three hundred years ago, and he did not peep or steal women's underwear, and Amakusa Shiro said that he was an expert in recognizing the way back then...... Maybe it's true, but I want to laugh when I hear it!"

After saying that, the two righteous brothers laughed very tacitly, leaned back and turned back, poured wine for each other, and toasted, until Han Te's face turned pale and he drew his sword and slashed the table, and they retracted in disagreement.

In fact, if they didn't react like this, but silently shed tears for their friends, Hant himself would not know what to do, okay?

Friend...... Sometimes that's the kind of relationship.

"I've heard that lady talk about you. Since the establishment of the Qinglou Alliance, there are really not many cases like yours. Gengoro said: "It's really strange that I've been tracking for so long, but there has been no clue." ”

The Qinglou Alliance is huge, and it has been intertwined for thousands of years, going deep into the corners of all classes, but it is not omniscient and omnipotent after all, and sometimes it will not be able to find out why, but even if you can't find anyone, you can more or less have some clues to judge the possible whereabouts, or whether you are dead or not.

Judging from past experience, it is very likely that the target person will die, but listening to Hanter's description, his sister does not look like the kind of person who will die on the side of the road without being heard, so the lady has judged two possibilities.

First, Chun is still in the Demon Realm, and has not yet come to the Human Realm, so he must carry out an investigation in the Demon Realm.

Second, Chun has reached the human realm, but like Hante, he hides his original appearance and starts his life with a completely different new identity.

Hante agrees with this judgment, but the difficulty of investigating in the Demon Realm is more troublesome than searching the Wind Continent, and the amount of entrustment has also surged again, so that Hante must give up his hunter dignity and start taking odd jobs in the courier business.

He hoped that the lady's first judgment was correct, because if his sister was not in the demon realm, but lived in the human realm with a human face, and disguised her strength and was content with the ordinary, then it was really impossible to find her.

"There's another clue you've missed, and it's the old man who sealed the magic needle for you. ”

"Yes, I thought of him from the beginning, but what about it?"

Just holding the Sealing Needle and using the space-time transfer spell is very suspicious in itself, not to mention the sudden appearance of the old man, informing Chun's whereabouts, and sending Han Te to the human realm, no matter how you look at it, there is a hint of conspiracy.

However, in order to find out who this old man is, he must go back to the demon world to investigate. Even if you go back, it's useless because you don't know what to track down. Looking back from Hante's current vision, the appearance of the old man was deliberately deformed by strength or magic, regardless of height, skin color, age, voice, and appearance, all of them were unreliable, and Qinglou went to find someone according to his description, and there was definitely no whereabouts.

If you see the old man again, with Hante's current heavenly strength and eyesight, he will definitely be able to see through some things under the disguise, but he didn't have this ability at that time, and his memory can't provide anything, if this clue is cut off.

"The Demon Sealing Needle is the treasure of the Demon Clan, but in the past two thousand years, the only one who has been able to make the Demon Sealing Needle is Long Beethoven, have you tried to find clues from there?"

Gengoro really asked a nonsense. Because Han Te, who arrived in the human realm, didn't know how to go back to the demon realm at all, so naturally he couldn't go to the demon realm to find out Long-Beethoven, and moreover, Elon Beethoven's strange temper would definitely blow him to the ground immediately if he was harassed by a third-rate junior.

"Nope. When I learned that Old Man Long lived in the human and demon border in another realm tunnel, it was after this big brother Li next to me introduced me to the good deal......"

During the Golden Statue incident, Hunter had been paying attention to Ailing's words and movements, and after the earthquake of Alembat, he asked the eldest sister about her father's whereabouts, however, Hunter, who knew where Long Beethoven lived, did not go to visit, because the Lord Sima in Ailing's mouth did not sound like the old man who had guided him to the human realm.

Investigating the whereabouts of the finished products of the Sealing Needle is one way, but Ailing said that after the casting of the Sealing Needle was completed, it was handed over to various clients, most of whom were handed over to the military headquarters or royal family of the Demon Clan at that time, and after more than 2,000 years of circulation, I don't know where it was scattered.

"That's a tricky question. Gengoro said: "But when it comes to the Sealing Needle, have you ever thought about taking out the Sealing Needle? With your current strength, even if you take out the Sealing Needle, you can properly use the power of the Heavenly Rank to control the deformation ......of your appearance, right?"

What doesn't need to be said is that even if his true colors are revealed, no one among Hante's friends will change this friendship because he is a demon......

"Didn't you think about it, you have a needle in your hand all day long, do you think you won't be numb?"

Han Te said: "If you want to unlock the magic needle, you have to find the spell that was used when the needle was cast, which only the old man knows. ”

"There is a law that is inherently broken, and the password is not unbreakable, I know that there is a person who ......" Gengoro, who was going to recommend Queen Riya's assistance, changed his words after a little hesitation: "It's your dark witch Hua Da Wizard." ”

"Yes, yes, I went to her, and she was very happy, and promised to help me study the solution to the magic needle, but there was one condition......

"On what terms?"

"After pulling it out, she's going to insert the needle one more time......

The last time the needle was cast, because Han Te only had the realm level, and the true effect of the magic sealing needle was not triggered, so even if he entered the heavenly position later, he would not be affected by the effect of the magic sealing needle, but if he pulled out the magic sealing needle and reinserted it back at the moment when he had entered the heavenly position, the effect of the magic sealing needle would appear, and no one could guarantee what the consequences would be at that time.

...... But more than ninety percent of the possibilities are that the strength was immediately knocked out of the heavenly position, the meridians shrank, and they became even worse than ordinary people.

"Well, I guess that ghost woman is looking forward to this kind of picture, and maybe she plans to use this excuse to help me dissect ......"

Stereotypes may be a bad thing, but no one wants to refute Hanter's assumption of the future.

And the day is about to dawn, the night is coming to an end, and there is only one question left between the three of them.

It's hard to speak, but if you want to help with the search, you can't figure out the answer. Under Gengoro's gaze, Li Yu asked, "If you find your sister, what are you going to do?"

“...... I don't know, it's not going to be a crying warm hug anyway......"

So, what could it be? Hunter didn't say, and the three men who were drinking fell into a long silence. Perhaps, he was reluctant to give the harsh answer...... Or perhaps, even he doesn't know what the answer is.

※※※

The next day, to my surprise, everyone woke up very late.

The three men, who had been chatting all night, returned to their resting place before daylight came out and began to fall asleep.

Although fatigue can be expelled by meditation and pranayama, the form of sleep has become a habit and even enjoyment. After a series of vicious battles, they are in need of such an ancient form of rest to wash away the fatigue of their bodies and minds.

However, there are still strong criticisms of such an approach.

"First get drunk in the bar, and then sleep like a dead pig, men are the worst creatures. ”

After sleeping on her stomach at the bar for half the night, she woke up alone in an empty bar, and Neel's anger couldn't even find anyone to explode. Because she was worried that Gengoro, who might find herself to settle accounts immediately after waking up, didn't want to be kicked into the sky in her sleep, she especially found a secret place to hide, so that Nier couldn't find anyone.

Niel, who runs around the island looking for people, is probably the most energetic creature on the island, but getting drunk and sleeping is really nothing, and there is one more thing that makes Niel cry out and want to kick people out of anger.

Lancelot, who spent the night in the Izumi Sakura room, also didn't fall asleep until almost dawn, and his exhaustion seemed to be better than that of the great snakes.

"Damn...... I haven't been so tired in a long time......"

In retrospect, it seems that since leaving the Continent of the Wind and arriving in Japan, I have been in a state of abstinence, and although this is a normal thing, it is still a little funny to think about.

Using her chest as a pillow, Izumi Sakura was lying on her chest, sleeping sweetly. The delicate face with scattered sideburns and a tired expression is almost breathtaking in the soft light of the morning sun, and the snow-white body under the thin quilt and the wonderful feeling of the two people rubbing their skins against each other...... Lancelot inhaled deeply, not wanting to wake his wife up by making a sound, because if he opened his mouth, he would laugh out loud.

When people feel very happy, when that feeling of happiness overflows the body and mind, it is probably like this, although there is nothing special, but as long as you open your mouth, you will smile inexplicably.

Women are indeed wonderful creatures who can easily remove the gloom from their hearts. Compared to Grass's ability to eliminate all magic, Lancelot thinks that Izumi Sakura can also use magic, otherwise how could he change his mood so easily?

Instead of thinking about the unhappy things, Lancelot began to plan the future with a happy mood, first about the resettlement of the Japanese remnants, and then about the national politics after returning to Reins.

There are so many things, and the road ahead may not be easy, but with the beautiful person sleeping sweetly in his arms, Lancelot feels confident that he can be fearless of everything......

On this day, the rest of the people did not reappear until evening, when the sleeping, the contemplative, and the cave-dwelling reappeared.

Feng'er's appearance surprised everyone, because not only her, but even Oda Ka, who was dressed in a kimono, also appeared next to her.

If it is a normal situation, the enemy who has fought to the death the day before is unlikely to shake hands and make peace immediately, and anyone will feel embarrassed by the major emotional turn. But this problem did not exist in Oda Xiang, who followed Kaede, as if nothing had happened before, nodded to everyone expressionlessly.

When a future stance has been decided, Odaka's performance is bright and free, without the embarrassment or distress that would plague ordinary human beings. No matter what happened yesterday, these people are friends now, so just deal with them according to the attitude towards friends, and as for what will happen tomorrow, that is what we will do tomorrow, and we will do it completely according to the current situation, and there is no need to waste energy.

will make her feel that kind of "weird" outside of her reason, only Feng'er's mother next to her, and these people in front of her are not the ones who can make her reason out of control.

"Hello everyone, I'm Oda Ka, please give me a lot of advice in the future. ”

Nodding their heads, everyone responded to the beautiful little princess's greetings in different ways. Gengoro was polite, and Han Te casually bowed slightly, which was considered a courtesy.

I had a relationship in Kunlun Mountain before, but Li Yu didn't say anything, not even a return gift, just drank wine over there. However, both the giver and the recipient know what they are doing, and that is enough.

In contrast, Nier's attitude is very ambiguous. On the one hand, she was very happy to be able to turn enemies into friends with the little princess and not have to fight each other, but on the other hand, she felt very sorry for the thought that she would never see the cute Sojiro again.

However, compared to the other thing, this matter is insignificant. Lancelot, who appeared with Izumi Sakura, had a close attitude between the two of them, and the difference was a big step forward from the previous day, and anyone could see it at a glance.

Feng'er was a little surprised, but there was obvious joy on his expression; Han Te and Gengoro were also surprised, while Li Yu, who was pouring wine into his cup, whistled honestly and unceremoniously.

Nier's reaction was the most embarrassing, she was angry and wanted to have a seizure, but before she could speak, Li Yu next to her sang a double reed with Han Te.

"My friend, do you know? ”

"The world is very realistic, but which one do you mean?"

"Some people fight to the death together when they are in danger, and how affectionate they are when they are rescued? But as soon as the battle is over, they turn their faces and deny people and stab them in the back, which is really snobbish. ”

"Wow~~ Which woman is so vicious? If you do this kind of thing, you won't be afraid of giving birth to a son without an asshole in the future?"

While speaking, his fingers shook towards Nier, intentionally or unintentionally, mocking Qi Shi, making Nier's face red and white, and she couldn't have a seizure. And when she raised her eyes, she saw Izumi Sakura's gentle eyes that were almost pleading, and Nier, who was already very soft-hearted, could still be hard, snorted, put her hands on her cheeks, and sat down at the bar.

But soon someone avenged her, and Han Te, who was talking behind her back before, was choked by Gengoro as soon as he finished speaking.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

"You can say anything, but it's not okay to curse other people's sons. ”

"It's weird, she didn't have an asshole to give birth to a son......, what does it matter to you? Out of breath......"

This is a foul language comparable to the words of the Shet, but because the person concerned was pinched and turned blue, the opportunity to continue was lost.

Lancelot secretly cast a grateful glance at Li Yu, who shook his glass as a gesture. If it weren't for the clever resolution of the conflict that would have arisen in this way, Lancelot and Izumi Sakura would have been embarrassed.

After that, everyone talked about the resettlement of the Japanese remnants, and Li Yu and Han Teh were indifferent to this topic, but the rest of the people had to deal with it seriously.

With Oda Ka coming forward, it should be able to soothe the emotions of the refugees, and then it is the problem of sending them back to the mainland to settle down, but considering the mood of the Japanese remnants, there are obstacles in many places, and in order to make things go smoothly, Gengoro proposed a terrifying plan.

"With our current role, it will be very difficult to convince the Japanese people, but the ideal way is to make them feel that we are our own people. ”

"It's easier to say than to sing, and we're not Japanese, so how can we make them feel like we're our own?

"Yes, it's a kiss. Gengoro said with a smile: "If the Japanese princess marries into the Reins royal family, the Japanese remnants will feel closer to the boss and Reins, right? ”

Gengoro's joking proposal was naturally met with a strong backlash, Lancelot's expression seemed as if he had inhaled too much poison gas, Niel slapped the table and scolded, asking how she could come up with such a conscienceless plan, and Kaede even took the initiative to hold her daughter by her side and looked at Gengoro as if she wanted to protect her. However, there are people who are surprisingly in favor.

"I agree, it's a good proposal. From a practical point of view, if Reines and Japan's political hierarchy are harmonious, the people on both sides will be closer, and for the two ethnic groups that will be integrated, this will not produce unnecessary exclusion and discrimination, which is quite an effective practice. ”

Ignoring everyone's surprised eyes, Oda Ka said calmly, "Let's hold the wedding as soon as possible...... No, in fact, the wedding is not important, it is enough to announce the fait accompli to the people of the two countries, but if it is to enhance the publicity effect, there is still a need for a grand wedding. ”

Compared with everyone's stunned and overwhelmed attitude, Odaka's attitude was so bland that it almost made people mistakenly think that it was someone else who was going to get married.

However, in the case of Oda Ka, the reaction of these humans is strange. She could see the surprise of these people, but she couldn't understand the reason for their surprise, in terms of political theory, harmony is a good policy to declare national integration, in the past history, through the intermarriage of two royal families, there are many examples of merging each other's empires, Gengoro is a smart person, so he proposed this strategy, but why is it that even he seems a little embarrassed at this moment?

When people feel embarrassed and stunned, what do they need to react to?

"Hahahaha~~~"

Oda Ka's words came to a paragraph, and before Lancelot could speak, there was already a loud laugh next to him, Li Yu put down his wine glass, walked over, and threw something in front of Lancelot.

"The little princess's proposal is very interesting, just do as she says, if you marry her, this thing will be given to you as a wedding gift...... Hey, King Reyns and the Japanese princess's harmony, interesting, hahahaha~~"

This person is obviously promoting it with the mentality of watching the excitement, but what he throws out has become the focus of everyone's attention. It was a palm-sized small golden card, made of gold, with strange lines strung with white gold thread on it, which seemed to be some kind of rune, but even the knowledgeable Gengoro couldn't read it, and Lancelot could only tell from the information in the white memory bank that it was not a text on the Wind Continent.

"Before I parted ways with my cheap master, he gave me three things: the Ming Muscle Snow Wood Sword, the Seven Feelings Dragon Pill, and this thing. ”

There is no special specification, but everyone knows that the cheap master in Li Yu's mouth is definitely impossible to be Lu You.

"He said at the time, take this card to find the Qinglou Alliance, and then there will be no shortage of food and clothing, I thought this was the identity document of the Qinglou guests, who knew that the old woman saw this card, and gave me a large sum of gold and silver, I said that there was no place to put it, she used my name, in Shangri-La to build a recruitment hall, nominally to entertain the Quartet heroes, but in fact it is a high-end hotel, every time I go to live there there there has a luxury enjoyment, I thought that the money in the Qinglou is so much that you can spend it casually......"

One sentence solved everyone's doubts. At that time, Li Yu was the first of the four princes in the name of "Tang Yanjun", and built a recruitment hall in Shangri-La, when Gengoro and Nier lived in Shangri-La, they even went to see the gorgeous mansion that had become a tourist attraction, but they couldn't figure it out, with this person's withdrawn personality, what would he have to do to build a recruitment hall? Where did the funds come from? It turned out that all the reasons were for this.

"It wasn't until I went overseas that I figured out where the card came from. The Freedom Gate created by my cheap master has a deep relationship with the royal families of the Flame Continent and the Ice Continent, so I have this thing. I heard that as long as you take this thing to the Qinglou, no matter how much it costs, the Qinglou will meet the cardholder's requirements. ”

I had long heard Senior Brother Wang Wu say that behind the Qinglou Alliance was a huge organization that spanned the four continents of the Kunlun World, but Lancelot still felt a little unbelievable.

"Wouldn't it? Qinglou would be richer than my second brother-in-law?"

"It's hard to say, because it's not the Qinglou Alliance that spends its own money, and all the money will come from the other two continents across the sea. There are dictators from the other two continents as gold sources, and the Qinglou that pays for it is not painful. ”

"That'...... What is the maximum amount of this card?"

"I don't know, I haven't used it much, but I heard the old woman say that there is no upper limit, you can give as much as you want, anyway, there are two other continents to support the treasury. ”

Li Yu said: "When I was on the Yan Continent, when I heard about the good thing you and Lao Si did, I knew that things were difficult to get good, and several radicals in the Yan Continent also planned to put aside the current war and wave their troops to seek justice first, and there was only one way to stop them. ”

"How?"

"A very unconscionable, stupid, but it should work. Li Yu said in a low voice: "You just take this card, brush it desperately, spend it desperately, and try to consume the military budget over there, when the other side is going to be anxious about the deterioration of the finances, there will be no time to come over and fight a boring battle." ”

It was too obvious to instigate, and it seemed that a tall mountain of gold appeared in front of everyone's eyes, made of gold, silver and jewelry, and sparkling.

"Hey, you're too much, the two of us are also close friends, such a good thing, you don't give it to that stinky monkey, aren't you blind and can't see who really needs money?"

"Haha, I was originally going to give it to you, but after listening to what you said last night, I changed my mind, your debt is simply self-inflicted, wouldn't it be okay to join the Qinglou honestly? That old woman is also my friend, I can't betray my friend, hahaha......"

I don't know if he was talking too excitedly, Han Te pulled out the thunder sword and slashed people, while Li Yu flashed for a while, and continued to say sarcastic words that made his friends happy.

"I have a question. Gengoro said: "Second brother doing this, is it considered to be a betrayal of a friend in a foreign country?"

"Hmph...... When I first went, I beat each other every day, and I was covered with injuries, and I was more or less resentful, so I took the opportunity to retaliate, anyway, I went back and said that I lost it, and there was no proof of death. And...... What's wrong with helping people with too heavy purses to lighten their burdens?"

Li Yu smiled: "Anyway, it's impossible to let you go on all the time, when the other side realizes that the numbers are too much, and finds that the gold card is in your hands, it should be announced that the payment will be suspended from now on, but until then, hehe......"

There is one thing that Li Yu did not say. It was on the journey back to the Continent of Wind, on the boat, that he had a conversation with the senior brother of the head of the Freedom Sect.

※※※

"Is this really good? Although it is a truce period, the Snake King Army may break the contract at any time, and using this kind of strategy at such a time, the worst-case scenario may lead to the complete collapse of our front!"

For this question, he was dressed in blue, and even his voice was as elegant as ever.

"No, if we control the loss in money, then there will not be a situation that we can't manage...... Excessive militarism is not necessarily a bad thing, but the overly superstitious belief that force can solve everything is the beginning of destruction. When things can no longer be controlled by words, then use facts to make those children aware that there are always changes in the world, and people cannot control everything......"

※※※

Because of this reason, Li Yu heroically threw out this gold card that was very important. And just thinking about the meaning of this small card, as well as the huge amount of money it implies, it is even far more than the wealth of the white family, as long as it is a normal person, anyone is sweating in the palm and breathing heavily.

Judging from the reaction, Lancelot is undoubtedly a man who is no longer normal, and while he quickly put the gold card into his arms, he even had a strange light in his eyes, and his whole expression was wrong.

Then, he shot like the wind, and at once grabbed Odaka's little hand, and kissed it gently with perfect gentlemanly etiquette.

"Banshee...... Oh no, beautiful little princess, though we were enemies yesterday, for the sake of the people of the two countries and of the Golden Mountain, let us marry at once. ”

Although he had expected this decision for a long time, Lancelot's decision was so quick that everyone gasped, and his shocking move was not over, he immediately grabbed Feng'er's hand again, and pointed to Gengoro next to him with the other hand.

"But the wedding is too troublesome, I appointed the third child as my stand-in to complete the whole wedding, as for the cave room after the ceremony, you as the bride's mother will replace her, let's actually practice." ”

It seems to be an act of heaven to take all the good things in one go, so as soon as Lancelot finished speaking, before the red-faced Feng'er could answer, the two chairs smashed on the back of His Majesty's head with a heavy hand, bombing and shattering.

"Heavenly punishment!"

"It's time for the next offense!"

Nier and Gengoro, who succeeded in the sneak attack and knocked people unconscious in one fell swoop, were about to high-five them in tacit understanding, but saw Izumi Sakura hurriedly stopping Hante, who was already wielding the Thunder Sword and wanted to take advantage of the strong enemy's coma to seek money and kill and seize the gold card.

※※※

The leadership of Reins on the overseas desert island is in a relaxed rest stage, and Reinnes is also in a celebratory atmosphere because of the king's great achievements, but there is still a place in Reins that still maintains a high level of vigilance, that is, the North Gate Tianguan located on the border between the two countries.

Since the last big battle, after razing the entire level of the level, relying on technology far beyond the current level of the Wind Continent's construction, the five-color banner has rebuilt the North Gate Tianguan.

The reconstruction part has not yet been completed, but the part of the city wall has been completed, but at the same time as it is being built, many people have doubts in their hearts.

"Is there any point in cultivating these things? If there are any more heavenly masters to fight, won't it be ruined again?"

In addition, if the third and fourth phases of the scheduled project can be completed, and with the special geodynamic structure of the Longteng Mountain Range, the North Gate Tianguan will be turned into a magic formation fortress like Jixia, then even if there is a heavenly master in this decisive battle, it will not be so vulnerable, right?

Located on the border, the feeling of the change of power between the two countries is particularly obvious. Since the battle of Tianguan at the North Gate, in just a few months, the family of flowers, which once stood undamaged in the north of the Dashi Dynasty and the two countries of El Tieno, and accumulated countless glorious styles, has collapsed.

The power of Eltino declined, and several wealthy families in the country were affected, but while the Shi family and the Medici family were trying to find a way out and accumulate strength, the Hua family was not able to grasp the pulse of the times and make appropriate changes.

With the advent of the era of the Heavenly War, even if it is a wealthy and powerful Hua family, in the face of changes that have not been seen in a thousand years, it is quite difficult to deal with it, and the overall momentum is like a river declining, and the decision of the head of the family, Hua Tianxie, will face the dilapidated situation in advance.

Keeping out the only heavenly combat power of the Hua family, Hua Tianyi put the urgency of "consolidating power" on the "continuation of the family", closed the door to reverse the situation, and then resolutely decided to exchange the survival of the entire family for its own development, and fought in the north gate Tianguan, sacrificing more than 200,000 soldiers of the Hua family, breaking through the earth boundary and entering the heavenly position.

The leader disappeared, the main combat forces all collapsed, and the Hua family became a concrete manifestation of the words "the tree fell and scattered". Within a few months, the Hua family fell apart, and several elders and rookies had their own side in the territory and started a power struggle with each other, but a few of them who had fast brains took the lead in holding their own territory and the people, took refuge in Shi Chong, and combined with the Shizi family.

Then, the masters and army of the Shizi family entered the territory of the Hua family, swept away all the resistance forces with an overwhelming advantage, and officially annexed the territory of the Hua family.

The matter ended unexpectedly quickly, but what was surprising was that the sworn enemies of the Shizi family, the Medici family, remained silent throughout the whole process, allowing the Shi family to expand its power, but did not make any action to stop it, and even when Shi Chong played to the emperor, thinking that the Hua family's territory was in chaos and needed to be rectified, and asked for the temporary annexation of the Hua family's territory into the jurisdiction, the Medici family did not say anything.

Of course, the Medici family itself was in a very awkward state. At such a critical juncture, the head of the family, Hülegü, actually went out on a trip, his whereabouts were unknown, and he couldn't be contacted at all, and even one or two letters that he finally sent were also instructing the family to stay still and not to have any response.

Under such circumstances, the Shi family completely annexed the Hua family's forces, and the momentum was as strong as the Japanese. However, the flow of people's hearts is not something that the Shi family can control, especially the tragic rumors of the people in the Shi family's territory in the past, which have long frightened the people in the Hua family's territory, so since the Shi family's army was stationed, a large number of refugees have flowed towards Reyns and the free city.

The North Gate Tianguan, which bears the brunt, inevitably accommodates many refugees. Although they hope to immediately cross the North Gate Tianguan and enter Reins, most of these people who have escaped from the state of famine are in extremely poor physical condition and must be immediately recuperated and treated, and many of them are still sick, if they are rashly allowed to enter Reins, the epidemic will be brought into the country, so a testing center must be established. And the border of Reyns obviously does not have this ability, so the North Gate Tianguan has become the largest containment center.

It is of course very good to be able to get a large number of free migrant workers to help with the construction, but in order to feed these people, the huge increase in all kinds of expenditures is very bad, especially these people are all supporting the old and the young, and a productive population often carries more than three non-productive people, and the speed of consumption of materials is really considerable.

For the already frugal Pencolor, the sharp deficit in the budget has made them pale in the face of it. This group of tough soldiers who still didn't know what it was to retreat in the face of monsters and strong enemies took the initiative to raise the idea of fleeing without a fight this time.

"Locusts are really terrible......"

The wails of the cadres were sent to Bai Wuji in this form. Although he had expected such a thing to happen, Bai Wuji's face was still very ugly.

"The money obtained from desperate drug trafficking is finally used to raise these things...... If you die and go to hell, it must be difficult to calculate. ”

According to the administrative system, regarding the handling of these refugees, Bai Wuji once sent a message to Lancelot, who was still in Japan at the time, asking the king of a country to adjudicate, and Lancelot angrily expressed such feelings to the monarch of the neighboring country.

"Bastard! A king who starves his people is not qualified to be king. ”

Hearing him say this, Bai Wuji just replied coldly, "Whoever leaves political affairs behind and runs away overseas is not qualified to be the king." ”

Judging from the facts, Lancelot, who created a large number of refugees for his own country because of the sinking of Japan, is indeed quite unpopular. Especially when the northwest has already been plagued by refugees, he brought the Japanese refugees back to China, if Reins and the others were hit by the refugee locust plague from the east and west at the same time, it would be no wonder that Bai Wuji's face turned blue with anger.

"There is no way, no matter whether you go to heaven or hell in the future, you still have to do what you have to do. ”

Bai Wuji sighed. Lancelot, who adjudicates the general direction of all national policies, is indeed very dignified and dignified, but the helmsman who keeps this prestige for him, properly implements each of his policies, and does not let the good intentions become disasters, is in vain. It was indeed a very happy thing to be able to get this prime minister at the establishment stage of the Cangyue Dynasty.

Under Bai Wuji's instructions, Reins sent a large number of materials and manpower to the northwest border in a steady stream, in the long run, the northwest has always been underdeveloped, if there is more manpower, generations to settle in Si, open up wasteland, it is not a bad policy.

A large number of refugees were accommodated, and what Beimen Tianguan was most worried about at this time was the outbreak of war. It stands to reason that this should be impossible, because the Hua family's own forces have all collapsed, and the Hua family's territory is currently in chaos, and the Shi family is too busy just to stabilize the situation, how can there be a way to start a war again?

On the other hand, guarding the North Gate Tianguan is the five-color flag, which is known as the strongest army on the entire continent, even if the Shijia army attacks, it has the power to support, if the number is small, even without asking for reinforcements, you can destroy the enemy.

These are all common sense inferences, but the reason why everyone can't let go of it is that the Shi family is not a family that will do things according to common sense, and the chaos in the Shi family's territory is only slightly more stable than the current Hua family, and the Shi family, who has long been accustomed to exploiting the people to be war resources, will not care about the chaos in the territory at all, as long as it is forcibly suppressed.

Moreover, the supreme commander of Beimen Tianguan is not at the moment, Gengoro is also far away in Japan, and the two heavenly combat forces are not in their posts, and after receiving a large number of refugees, the vigilance function of Beimen Tianguan has more or less declined, and it is at the weakest time.

If the Shi family deliberately allowed the refugees to move, causing the defense of the North Gate Tianguan to weaken, and taking the opportunity to attack, then it would be very dangerous now. It's not that the five-color flag didn't take this into account, but the battle situation in the North Gate Tianguan is different from Alcatraz, and they can't solve the refugee problem with massacres when humanity must be considered, in fact, just to warn the refugees about whether there are conspirators among them, it is enough to make them nervous.

The worst fears finally broke out soon after. Four days after the sinking of the Japanese land, the guards of the North Gate Tianguan sensed an unusual aura, and a large number of troops were slowly advancing towards the mountain road.

"The Shi family's army has attacked!"

This warning shook the entire North Gate Tianguan, and the five-color flag entered a state of readiness and guarded the danger at the key points of the checkpoint.

According to observations, the number of attacks is about 50,000 to 60,000, which is a situation of 10 to 1 compared with the current strength of the North Gate Tianguan. If the number of refugees is also added, the number is favorable to the Tianguan side of the North Gate, but in the actual war, these civilians who have never received military training are not in the way, and God is already thankful.

With the location of the checkpoint and the weapons of the Ancient Demon Dao, this numerical gap is not irreparable, but for the sake of prudence, the five-color banner also sent a request for reinforcements while sending the news of the enemy's attack.

Rigidity and self-righteousness are the biggest taboos of the five-color flag, especially if the enemy is accompanied by a heavenly master, then the North Gate Tianguan side also needs a master who can fight against it.

"The enemy has stopped!"

Surprisingly, the more than 50,000 Shi family troops did not attack in one go, but when they marched to the mountain pass, they stopped all at once, without any movement.

"If they don't attack or camp, what do they want to do?"

Minutes and seconds passed, and for several hours, the enemy did not move, and it seemed as if they were just standing there.

"Aren't they all zombie soldiers?"

This question was raised, but no one was able to answer it. The enemy's position is too far away for the guns and bullets of the Ancient Demon Dao to attack, and the Chaos Fire Crossbow must be used at a distance, but it is not a weapon that can be used easily.

After careful consideration, Bai Qianlang, who temporarily acted as the military commander of the Tianguan Military Affairs at the North Gate, sent an urgent military situation to Jifang.

"The North Gate Tianguan has been attacked, and the enemy's movements are strange, so I asked for the technical support of the Heavenly Rank Combat Power and the Ancient Demon Dao. ”

※※※

Life in Lancelot is not easy on the isolated island overseas, although it looks like he is on vacation, but he must immediately dispatch supplies for the refugees, and then prepare ships to send the refugees back to the Windy Continent in batches.

As a sign of sincerity, he, the Lord of Reins, took care of everything himself. For the Japanese people, the land where they have lived for generations suddenly sank to the bottom of the sea, and they parted with their relatives and friends in shock, and then a foreign king appeared inexplicably, saying that they would all move to the Continent of Wind, and the panic caused by a series of shocks can be imagined, if Reines sends an official to deal with it casually, it will definitely cause a riot, so Lancelot's existence, on a large level, has a stabilizing effect.

At this time, a happy event that relieved the sad atmosphere a little spread throughout the overseas islands, and also caused a lot of shock in Reyns.

His Majesty King Lancelot, who has been single since the death of Queen Leia, is determined to marry Princess Oda Ka of Japan for the sake of friendship and sustainability between the two peoples.

When Japan sent an envoy to marry before, Reynes's media discussed this possibility, but they didn't expect it to come true one day. The opposition that could have been caused was suppressed after Bai Wuji took the lead in issuing a congratulatory message, believing that this was a beautiful thing that could stabilize Reynes's development.

Whether it is his status or relationship with the previous queen, Bai Wuji is almost a more unchallengeable existence in the Reines regime than the king himself. As the brother of the former queen, he took the initiative to express his pleasure in seeing it, and others could no longer object to anything.

For Lancelot, he was a little regretful, because although this marriage was only a form of stabilizing people's hearts, he still hoped to get Xiaocao's consent, but until now, the answer he got was still the same: Cangyuecao took a leave of absence and has not returned.

With Xiaocao's intelligence and knowledge, he will not make a fuss with himself in this kind of thing, so he still can't avoid seeing each other until now, maybe he really can't show up, or he is in some trouble......

In this regard, Lancelot was a little worried, but Bai Wuji just asked him to end the overseas affairs as soon as possible and come back as soon as possible, so it seems that Xiaocao should have no problem, and she is also in favor of this approach......

"Anyway, it's right for you to come back soon, even if you don't come back, you have to put a few heavenly combat power back, now the northwest military situation is urgent, we need heavenly combat power!"

"I know, it will take a little time, Li Lao Er has been secretly teaching them something in the past two days, and this kind of opportunity is not common. I don't have a share with Gengoro, but I have to finish the wedding before I can rush over, so give me another day and a half. ”

Everything was so pressed for time, what was supposed to be a grand and luxurious wedding had to be hastily carried out.

According to the records of imperial history, on the third day of August of this year, His Majesty the King of China married Princess Oda Xiang of Japan on Eagle Demon Island in the East Sea of Reins.

Due to the prudence of the historical documents, there is no mention of the process of the ceremony, nor does it mention that His Majesty the King signed someone's hand and walked into the new house with a smile, but it gave a detailed account of the fireworks on Eagle Demon Island at that time, as well as the grand celebrations in Reyns itself.

Since the end of the civil war, Reins, who actively wants to improve the country's strength, has been expecting some good news from the royal family. Although the wedding was a little hasty, it was still a happy news, and after the grand celebration, everyone thought that they would not be shocked by this scale for a few years...... Regrettably, just the next day, they regretted their innocence.

On the night of the wedding, after everyone had gone to bed exhausted, Lancelot had not yet slept. Look at the left, and then look at the right, two equally delicate begonia sleeping faces, although the appearance is superior and inferior, but the degree of love is the same, and what he dare not say is that he suddenly misses a woman strongly.

One was supposed to be here...... But now she doesn't know where she is......

What Lancelot didn't know was that after a long journey of many days, Fenghua had arrived at Shangri-La and was being entertained.

※※※

He didn't know martial arts, and he couldn't use flying and teleportation techniques, so it took a lot of effort to go to Shangri-La, but under the escort and reception of the special VIP of the Qinglou Alliance, Fenghua was finally sent to Shangri-La and entered the magic house that she had heard about many times since she was a child.

Although it was the first time to actually meet, because Fenghua couldn't see things, the owner of the magic house rarely removed the bead curtain that separated the host and guest.

They hadn't met before, but they had a deep relationship. As far back as 2,000 years ago, the forces hidden behind the Qinglou had infiltrated the Dragon Clan and the Western Queen Mother Clan and manipulated them. After the Kyushu War, although the dragon clan has been out of control, the Western Queen Mother Clan is still under the influence of the Qinglou, until this generation, the elders of the West Queen Mother Clan and the Qinglou principals turned against each other, and they gradually drifted apart.

But that doesn't mean that Qinglou has severed ties with the Western Queen Mother Clan, because the eight Kunlun elders have always had an attempt to seize the power of Qinglou, but this time they were preempted to rebel against the first army, and they were defeated and lost.

However, when the Western Queen Mother Clan was defeated, the person in charge of the Qinglou really did not expect that the gentle woman who had an inconspicuous impression and was just a beautiful woman would contact the Qinglou with the Water Mirror Hotline, which had not been opened for decades, for assistance.

"Japan is about to sink, please ask the clan to lend a helping hand, help my people retreat, and send a fleet to rescue the Japanese people. ”

Hearing this, she was really taken aback, this little Queen Mother of the West, who has a lot of wisdom, expressed what should be expressed in just one sentence, and completely grasped the psychology of the listener.

Don't use the "Qinglou", don't use the "Chiba family", Fenghua is asking the "Zong family" to lend a hand. Because if you ask for help, Qinglou will inevitably ask the West Queen Mother Clan to surrender, and it will never be possible to back down, and the West Queen Mother Clan, who is at a disadvantage, can't refuse at all, so Feng Hua admitted that he was "splitting up" as soon as he opened his mouth, and asked the headquarters to help.

Seeing the whole situation clearly at a glance, not ignorant self-esteem, not showing meaningless diplomatic rhetoric, and doing what should be done in the shortest possible time, this made the person in charge of the Qinglou completely change his view of the elegance and became highly interested.

Although she saw the woman's consciousness clearly, she still wanted to try it, so she asked, "It's not a problem to agree to your request, but what good are we?"

"Isn't it the duty of the clan to help separate the family, or am I making a mistake?"

said lightly, Fenghua did not forget his identity at the moment, and said: "Please act immediately, as long as I can agree, I will definitely agree, Yuqi Fenghua knows what Xinyi is...... I won't let you down. ”

In the tone of the last sentence, there was a will that could not be doubted, and because of this, in just a few words of conversation, the Qinglou side made a big move that had not been seen in more than a thousand years, mobilizing all the men lurking in Japan to assist in the retreat, and also sent a large fleet.

When all is successfully carried out and the surviving members of the Queen Mother of the West are settled, Fenghua is brought to Shangri-La, ready to pay the price she has to pay.

"Are you ready? girl?"

"Yes. I promised you that I would not break my promise as long as I could say yes. ”

I've seen Oda Xiang a few times in the past, and Fenghua has always had a feeling that she and the lonely ice princess seem to be a rootless life form, surviving in constant wandering.

If Oda Ka's life is parasitic and drifting away, her own life is a non-stop buying and selling, sold to the West Queen Mother Family from birth, and after the West Queen Mother Family collapsed, she was replaced by a new buyer...... I am already very familiar with this feeling of waiting to be sold.

"Don't be so nervous, this is Shangri-La, not Kunlun Mountain. Seeing the nervousness of the woman opposite, she smiled and spoke.

"I think...... Moderate tension helps to stabilize mood. ”

Because the elders deliberately blocked the news, Fenghua didn't know what the Chiba family actually did, but having seen a certain amount of the world, she didn't know what was called "darkness", so she was already mentally prepared.

But the conversation after that made Fenghua wonder. It seems that there are exceptions to everything, just like the West Queen Mother clan has such an outlier as herself, this generation of Qinglou principals also seems to have a different style from the past, and her disposal of herself is even more unexpected before.

"I used to cultivate beautiful women into big stars, and they were all very happy, but obviously not every little beauty is suitable for an acting career, and box office poison will smash the sign of Tianxiangyuan. Don't you like to practice medicine? There just happened to be a medical group going to Tianguan at the North Gate, so you should go with them. ”

Shaking hands with Fenghua, she smiled and said, "You didn't guess wrong before, the Chiba family has been an organization that buys human lives and controls lives for thousands of years, but there is only one difference from before...... I'm only in control for ten years, a few years, and your life is still up to you...... It's too tiring to carry the lives of so many people. ”

With the handshake of two wise women, a worrying event ended in the form of a happy event, but at this time no one noticed that in the chain of happy events, there was a small bloodshed, which added a sad color to the recent joyous atmosphere.

At the beginning of the incident, a group of people who had just participated in the celebration ceremony in the alleyway below unexpectedly found a figure on the street corner. As if he had just been ransacked by the mob, he was covered in blood, because his injuries were so serious that he could no longer see clearly in the night, and the panicked people immediately ran away to find medical personnel.

“...... What's the joke...... How can I ...... Pour here...... How could I just die...... I have not yet...... See you again...... Quiet ......"

No one heard his last words before he lost consciousness, but half an hour later, the two most urgent military information transmissions were sent to the Eagle Demon Island overseas.

On 3 August, the North Gate Tianguan was attacked by surprise and lost.

On August 3, Bai Wuji, the right prime minister of Reynes, was attacked by assassins and unfortunately died.
