Chapter 1 Unexpected Encounters
In December of the fifth and sixth year of the Altino calendar, Jinao Island was in different space
The technology left over from the primeval times is, in today's view, a magical technology that borders on magic. The extreme damage to Jinao Island before was quickly improved by the sleepless efforts of thousands of robots.
The building materials and equipment of Jinao Island were declared extinct hundreds of billions of years ago, and it is difficult to find them even in the outside world, let alone in this lonely space. Fortunately, Jinao Island itself was a huge city ruin, and under the command of Zhu Yan, the mechanical sappers demolished almost all the buildings on the surface, disassembled and converted them, and used them as building materials for military installations.
"It can't be delayed for too long, the Reins people will not let go of this opportunity, we must let Jinao Island out of the alien space before they make a move, and the Tongtian Cannon will operate again. ”
Regarding the restoration of the Tongtian Cannon, in fact, Zhu Yan was a little hesitant, if it was really repaired, would he encounter the same situation as the battle of Shangri-La again, and clash with Lord Gongjin again for this?
Zhu Yan didn't want to think about it anymore, at least for now, he was the director of the restoration work of Jinao Island, and the Tongtian Cannon was the biggest combat power of Jinao Island, so he had no reason to let go of the Tongtian Cannon.
As long as Lord Gongjin no longer uses the Heavenly Cannon to aim at the civilians, he will not have any resentment, and he will have no psychological burden. However, another question also bothered Zhu Yan, if Gong Jin used the Tongtian Cannon for a huge number of not more than 10 million, but only tens of millions of human beings, would he still have the psychology of resistance?
Zhu Yan felt that this question was really difficult to answer, but in the end, he still shook his head and threw the question out of his mind. I am neither a human being, nor do I intend to be a savior, so why bother with this problem? Or focus on the work in front of me first, maybe the next time the Tongtian Cannon is used on the battlefield, it will be a bombardment of Shi Chong's group of traitors, then I will definitely be glad for this.
"The third group, expedited progress, E89 and G96 areas, will be repaired by tomorrow. ”
Zhu Yan's orders were issued again and again, and the lifeless mechanical sappers worked without complaint, and the sparks of welding and cutting kept flashing in every part of Jinao Island; the piercing sound of percussion sounded day and night, and the work must be completed as scheduled within the time specified by the orderer.
But somewhere inside Jinao Island, a ruined place destroyed by a series of fierce battles and powerful explosions, there was a slow heartbeat, and it was beating quietly.
The mechanical guards in charge of patrolling all have the function of scanning for signs of life, but the frequency of this heartbeat is too slow, and the time between them is too long, and the breathing is faintly intermittent, without any obvious demarcation, and all biological breathing is different, so the mechanical guards have walked back and forth many times, but they have not found that there are still life forms in the dark and ruined ruins.
The walls are damaged, the gravel, the broken metal are scattered all over the place, and from time to time there are a series of sparks scattered from the broken pipeline, the environment here is so bad that it is a mess, because of the concern that after the touch, there is a possibility of collapse, so the repair and cleaning work has not yet been carried out here, and it will be cleaned up by a large number of mechanical sappers after the peripheral part is properly placed.
The slow heartbeat, the near-pause of breathing, came from the corners of the ruined ruins.
The faint sparks that ignited intermittently lit up a face in the darkness, a handsome face that was so beautiful that it was breathtaking, and if it weren't for the hairstyle, most people would have been surprised by its handsomeness, and mistakenly mistook this sleeping face for a beautiful princess who had fallen asleep in some myth.
But if it was Zhu Yan, who was doing his best to rebuild, and saw this face, he would definitely kill them as soon as possible, because this man who was sleeping in a dark corner with his eyes closed was the main culprit who caused the destruction of Jinao Island this time, and the hateful enemy who distorted the launch trajectory of the Tongtian Cannon, Gengoro Amano.
When the Tongtian Cannon was aimed at Shangri-La and launched at Gengoro, who infiltrated the main energy gate, he tried his best to use the supreme supernatural power of the Star Sage to learn the "Ziwei Xuanjian", trying to affect the launch trajectory of the Tongtian Cannon, so as not to let this cannon hit Shangri-La directly.
In an almost unthinkable miracle, Gengoro's efforts succeeded, and the launch trajectory of the Babel Cannon deviated slightly, and the powerful destructive energy swept diagonally across Shangri-La, although it still caused a large number of casualties, but compared to the original tragic end of extinction, Gengoro undoubtedly brought hope to the people below, and allowed Reyns's main combat power to be preserved.
However, forcibly affecting the launch of the Babel Cannon, the impact of the violent energy violently restraining was so strong that Gengoro, who could be called the hero of Reyns, was lost in the strong light and violent explosion, and there was no news of him after that, neither the enemy nor the enemy.
According to the side of Jinao Island, they didn't care much about the problem of Gengoro, Zhu Yan and Hao Kelian's minds were all on Gong Jin, worried about the boss's injury, they didn't expect that there were enemies left on Jinao Island.
Reins Tylen, on the other hand, is busy with the whereabouts of Gengoro. But no matter what kind of information, even the stargazing and divination groups of the Demon Guild, they can't be sure of Gengoro's life and death, the situation is so bad that even God can't be sure if this man can survive such a serious injury.
However, Gengoro is indeed alive. Despite the severity of the damage to his body, his left arm was missing from the shoulder down and the body under his chest was evaporated from the heat of the explosion, but he still had a heartbeat and maintained a slow breath.
Not only that, his broken body was slowly starting to grow at a sluggish speed, and although the situation looked weird, it fully showed the vigorous vitality contained in this body, as well as the strong cultivation that gradually broke through the original scope after breaking through the threshold of life and death.
But no matter how you look at it, Gengoro is still asleep, and his severely damaged body can't support his wakefulness and activity, so he can only maintain a minimum of vitality like a hibernating creature, and slowly let his body heal intact before he can wake up.
The condition of Gengoro, Reins's companions have no way of knowing, but in the capital Jixia City, Reins's number one fierce general is also in a state of waiting to wake up, that is, Lancelot, who is currently sitting on the throne, has been unconscious since he joined forces with Chireth on Jinao Island and defeated the great enemy Zhou Gongjin.
The difference with Gengoro is that Lancelot does not lie still in the corner like a dead man, on the contrary, his energy is simply exuberant, and his whole person is like a restless ape, causing all kinds of disturbances in the ivory white tower.
"To be honest, how long will the boss continue to be in such a situation?"
Back in Reins, Youxue still didn't have half the majesty of the prime minister, and he didn't have any idea about Lancelot's "illness".
Shortly after rejoining his own faction, Lancelot suddenly fell to the ground and fainted, waking up again, his mind having lost his mind, and his consciousness had degenerated into a wild ape, and he was manic and stupid.
If it is really an ape, it is easy to deal with; even if it is a royal family and nobleman, it is not difficult to deal with, send a group of arrest teams armed with electric shock batons, and directly electrocute and settle down, there will be no problems. However, Lancelot's difficulty lies not in his noble status, but in his strong martial arts.
The battle of Shangri-La officially established Lancelot's invincible position in Reyns's martial arts, although he was injured and lost his mind, his strong martial arts like a dragon and tiger were not affected, and his gestures, punches and kicks, all had the power of thunder and collapse, and the result became a catastrophe for Reyns.
On the way back from the Free City, the commotion never stopped, and in the end, even the landline of the dean of the Taiyan Academy was almost destroyed. Even if he landed safely, the problem was not much better, Lancelot, who was under house arrest in the ivory white tower, vented his frustration and dissatisfaction with violence, and smashed everything he saw, and the soldiers in charge of guarding the palace all day long either saw the majestic demonic energy swirling in the sky or saw the mighty electric light tearing the sky, and the broken outer walls and earth and stones kept falling from the sky, making everyone avoid.
"If you let him run around like this again, aren't you afraid that the ivory white tower will be demolished for him?"
The person who talks to Yuxue is Izumi Sakura, who has newly become the right prime minister of Reyns. She took over Bai Wuji's position, although she did not have the blood of the Bai family, but with the image of a virtuous and wise strong woman, she won the support of the Baizi family and the Taiyan Academy, and successfully integrated and controlled the military and political system and returned to normal operation when Reins was leaderless.
If Izumi Sakura doesn't take over this position in time, then Reins, who was greatly injured by this battle, will definitely face a big crisis immediately because the four main pillars of Lancelot, Gengoro, Nier, and Cangyuecao are all gone. It's just that even though Izumi Sakura is talented and capable, she is not omnipotent, and she is helpless against her husband's current "illness" and can't come up with a proper solution.
"If you want to demolish it, you can demolish it, he is the king of a country, this whole ivory white tower is his property, he is happy to demolish his own house, what can we do?"
Because Prime Minister Zuo has no talent and no virtue, Quan Ying can be said to have shouldered ninety percent of the military and political work, and the documents sent intensively are piled up, she holds a pen in one hand, stamps in the other, and also finds time to transcribe important excerpts of instructions, and is very busy, although she talks to Youxue, she is still buried in the pile of documents, and she doesn't even have a chance to look up.
And in the sound of her talking to Youxue, Lancelot swept out with a punch, and the strong wind blew like a knife, and the outer wall to the east was a rattling sound, and was shattered by his fierce punch, turning into fragments of wood and stone, and falling towards the ground outside, and the guards below were in a hurry to dodge again.
"You're too calm, aren't you? Although this ivory white tower seems to be rebuilt quickly, and it was built in the blink of an eye in the last civil war, shouldn't you masters do something?"
"Master, you are too, Xuetaro! Now who on our side doesn't know that when you were in Shangri-La, you single-handedly leveled Chires, not only rescued Niel from him, but also escaped from him twice, such a good kung fu, there are few of us who can compare to you......! What's it called?"
“...... Millennial killing. ”
"Being able to make Chires hit twice, it seems to be a kind of stunt that can't be guarded against!
"Don't talk about that again! I'm on the verge of throwing up......"
There are a lot of things recorded in the scroll, many of which are bizarre spells, which seem absurd, but have practical effects, the move "Thousand Years of Killing" is made in the air, and there is no need to actually touch it, and the person who is hit by the trick is like a split, no matter what the master can not resist, but the counter-devouring effect after the move has formed a vicious curse, which will make the ten fingers of the spell caster emit a foul smell.
Even the Shetters, who deal with filth all day long, are wary of casting this spell, after all, no one wants to spend their days with stinky fingers, especially if they forget that they are cursed for a while, and dig out their nostrils as usual......
Izumi Sakura was impressed by this, because on the way back to Jishita, when she met and talked with Youxue, Yuxue often talked and plucked her nostrils, and then her expression suddenly turned blue, foaming at the mouth like a crab, and then she fainted straight.
This situation was not until Youxue was sent to the "Dark Magic Research Institute", and the dean Hua Bian Que personally healed him, breaking the curse, and only with Xue could he return to his normal life and get rid of the nightmare of being stinked by his fingers from time to time, so he never wanted the spell that he listed as a forbidden move to be used again.
And in the boring conversation between the two prime ministers on the left and right of Reins, the man, who is the king of a country, did not calm down as they wished. After almost destroying the nearby wall, Lancelot, who was still energetic, turned his gaze to the beams and columns in the room, broke them casually, and then carried the beams and columns three feet long and half a foot wide, and strutted triumphantly.
"It's really amazing, if you throw the boss in the middle capital, you will probably have to tear down all the things over there a long time ago. ”
Sighing again, Youxue frowned, and looked at the only audience here: "Are the disciples of the White Deer Cave so rude?" I talked to you for a long time, and you didn't even raise your head, did you start to dislike your past friends after you got the glory and wealth?"
"I'm really sorry, Prime Minister Zuo, systemally speaking, you are my boss, if it weren't for you being idle there, I wouldn't have been so busy here that I didn't even have time to look up. In fact, if you have extra time, I would like you to help me ask Dean Hua to see when the test report will come out? It's been a few days since we returned to Jixia, is my husband's condition really that complicated?"
"It's complicated or not, but maybe the results of the inspection report are too difficult to talk about, and she doesn't dare to tell you. Don't look at the ghost woman's cold expression, she actually doesn't like to announce bad news to the patient's family. ”
Youxue shook her head and sighed and spoke, he knew Hua Bian Que's personality very well, and he had nothing to do with this famous doctor with a strange style.
However, what they were waiting for still came, and when a female official in white came in to report that the Dark Arts Research Institute had invited the right prime minister, Izumi Sakura, who was buried in the copy, immediately raised her head.
"It's finally here!"
"Holy!"
Youxue exclaimed, originally he had been staying here just to see a few more glances at Izumi Sakura's fairy beauty, but Izumi Sakura had been buried in the office, which made him feel bored, however, when Izumi Sakura raised his head, the face of the country was displayed in front of Youxue's eyes, and he knew why Izumi Sakura kept her head down.
"You...... Why are your circles dark?"
“...... Oh, this one, I'm so tired from work, I've had insomnia for the last few nights, and dark circles are normal. ”
"Huh, nonsense, didn't you notice? You just had a nosebleed, your blood ......"
"Well, it's a December day, it's hot, it's hot. After coming to Reins, the imperial chef here has good skills, often takes tonics, and nosebleeds are normal. ”
If you look outside, through the breach in the wall, the haze and white snow is falling down, and then look at the thick cotton jacket on your body, this kind of weather will still be hot, and it will burn up in July? For this explanation, you Xue did not believe it at all.
Izumi Sakura also felt weak about her statement, but she couldn't help but save some face for her husband. Even when he was in Japan, when his husband hated him so much and his whole heart was full of revenge, he still had self-control, and almost never let himself be victimized by his anger.
There is no demon thunder and lightning addition, and the strength is not as good as usual, only causing such a little bruise, which is considered very lucky, if it is a normal time, so carelessly hit by the husband, the skull will not be safe.
Yuxue noticed that Izumi Sakura still had a proud and smiling expression on her lips, and couldn't help but shake her head again and again.
"Forget it, the foolish man complains about the woman, and it is useless to persuade him. He didn't kill you, and you're probably glad he showed mercy to your men, which means you're important to him, right?"
In response to this irrational question, Izumi Sakura coughed lightly, then smiled and did not answer, urging Yuxue to go to the Dark Magic Research Institute together.
The trip was really not smooth, Izumi Sakura, who has always loved cleanliness, it is difficult to say that she will have a good impression of this gloomy and filthy place, since entering the spire-shaped building, the damp rancid air and musty smell have always made Izumi Sakura have the urge to cover her nose, but she understands that this kind of behavior will make people laugh, and make the scholars and magicians in this building look down on it, so even if she sighs in her heart, she still seems to be okay on the surface, and she doesn't care about all kinds of abnormalities here.
However, the more you go up, the musty smell is gradually replaced by the smell of blood, and the harsh screams heard around are more and more, Izumi Sakura recognizes them one by one, and hears the sound of knives slashing at various parts, and the side that is cut is dead and alive, Izumi Sakura certainly doesn't like it, but she doesn't ask much. Before she entered Reins, she knew that the law here clearly stipulated that the Taiyan Institute and the Secret Research Institute belonged to the two extraterritoriality, and they were places where public power could not intervene.
Finally restrained his disgust, pretended not to smell the sour corpse stench, and came to the dean's room near the top of the tower, Hua Bian Que was pacing back and forth inside, as if he was worried about some problems, and when he saw Quan Sakura bringing Lancelot in, he just nodded and said hello, but he didn't say much.
(Oops, isn't it really bad?)
Seeing Hua Bian Que's reaction, Quan Ying really began to worry. Originally, when she was still on the flying ship, she wanted to invite Hua Bian Que to come over for a consultation, but she knew that this cold-faced and cold-hearted woman was not easy to speak, she didn't eat soft and hard, and if she didn't get one right, it might be self-defeating.
Chairman Xiaocao was not there, Elder Mei Lin was not there, and even Feng'er, who could be affectionate to Hua Bian Que, was not there, and Quan Ying had almost no channels to communicate with her. She has attracted much attention in the name of intelligence, and she is also very troubled by this, and when she thought of the flying ship, she immediately received a notice to take His Majesty the King to the Dark Magic Research Institute for medical treatment.
Quan Ying was surprised, she never thought that Hua Bian Que would become so easy to deal with, but after listening to Youxue, she knew that things were different, and the reason why Hua Bian Que took the initiative to diagnose and treat people was because she owed favors and felt ashamed in her heart.
Hua Bian Que didn't care about the big crimes of starting a war without authorization, because here is to look at everything by the results, and the current military operations of the expeditionary force are still going well, of course Hua Bian Que does not need to apologize for anything, the real reason for her to feel uneasy is because of the problems of the Dongfang family.
At that time, Hua Bian Que was invited by Mei Lin to go to Dongfang Jiazong Fort to retrieve the core chip of the Tongtian cannon, I thought this was a highly secret operation, how did I know that it fell into the enemy's calculations early in the morning, when Dongfang Xuanlong handed over the chip to Hua Bian Que, Jinao Island appeared in the sky, and the powerful firepower immediately suppressed the whole field, and Hua Bian Que did not even try to resist or escape, and announced his surrender without thinking, and handed over the chip to the enemy, so that Dongfang Xuanlong who rushed to the scene was shocked.
"You...... How can you not resist at all?"
"Is it useful to resist? It was Zhou Gongjin himself who came, and he put up such a big battle, which means that he is determined to win, and he is properly arranged, and he will not give us the slightest chance, I will not make unnecessary sacrifices, even if there is a chance to escape, I do not want to do it. ”
As a celestial magician, Hua Bian Que has considered the possibility of teleportation, but many people have ignored that Gong Jin, who has the qualification of an immortal Taoist in Bailu Cave, can also be said to be a heavenly magician, and the possibility of this teleportation to escape has long been sealed by him by ambush means, if Hua Bian Que casts a spell to move, Gong Jin, who has already laid an interception net, will directly transfer her to Jinao Island, and the situation will be even worse.
"However, this devastating weapon fell into his hands, and under his ambition, it is likely to cause thousands of deaths and injuries!"
"Yes, but if things don't fall into his hands, we will be wiped out sooner than those thousands. ”
From a rational point of view, Hua Bianque's judgment is completely correct. Gong Jin's style, before there is no eighty percent chance of victory, will never act rashly, once acted, is fully calculated, the probability of victory is in hand, with overwhelming strength, in the shortest possible time to achieve the goal, but if the enemy does not resist, never thirsty for killing, after he achieves the goal, he will indeed not hurt more lives, so as to establish majesty.
Hua Bian Que's strategy of non-resistance allowed everyone in the Dongfang family, including the head of the family, to retreat without any casualties in this incident, however, because Gong Jin did not waste any time with her, she arrived at Shangri-La early, adding significant pressure to the front there.
"It turns out that for this reason, you have too much heart, in terms of the situation at that time, you did make a very correct judgment, you don't have to feel that you owe us any favors, if my husband is sober, he will definitely thank you for your judgment and the preservation of the Dongfang family. ”
smiled slightly, even though the hanging hair covered half of her beauty, Izumi Sakura's elegant and gentle smile just made people feel bad. Under her explanation, although Hua Bian Que did not respond to anything, the atmosphere between the two sides was much more relaxed, but this relaxed atmosphere soon changed again.
Although she has superb medical skills, as we all know, Hua Bian Que is really not a doctor with medical ethics, most of the time, when she encounters a seriously ill patient she is not interested in, she will order someone to directly start the funeral matters, which has never changed because of the patient's noble status, even if the identity of King Reynes, in her opinion, is just a corpse that has not yet died and decayed, but because this living corpse has a large budget for the research institute, Hua Bian Que's attitude has also changed a little.
"Before announcing the diagnosis report, I confirm it to make sure that the patient's condition has not changed in these days. ”
Izumi Ying 100% believes in Hua Bian Que's ability, and she knows that her husband's illness is not an ordinary physical injury, but involves magic, Taoism and other fantasy categories, ordinary doctors are definitely useless, and must rely on Hua Bian Que, a wizard who is good at both medicine and magic. However, when she saw Hua Bian Que put on a mask with an expressionless face, took out two sharp scalpels, looked at Lancelot's head frequently, and began to sharpen the knife, Izumi Sakura really didn't know if she should continue to sit here.
"Wait a minute, it's just a diagnosis, why do you want to use the knife?" The first to question Quan Ying was Youxue, who was a high-ranking disciple of Hua Bian Que, "You...... Are you trying to cut his head open and bury some strange spell in it, so that he will obey you in the future and allocate you a lot of money?"
Hua Bian Que was silent, and did not make any panicked moves that scared the scalpel to the ground, but she was obviously very surprised when she was suddenly seen through the intention by the Xuete, because this was really not like the wisdom that Snow should have.
"Uh...... In fact, when I went to see Xiao Ailing at the Taiyan Institute a few days ago, the budget issue was being discussed, and someone made a similar suggestion on the method of striving for the budget. ”
It's really hard to describe how Izumi Sakura feels, these two extraterritoriality research institutes are really bold to the extreme, if this is the style of the Reyns people, then it's no wonder that even during the Kyushu War, so powerful demons couldn't conquer Jixia City.
"Dean Hua, I ask you to treat my husband seriously, seriously!"
Izumi Sakura's tone and eyes were very serious, and she almost didn't have a murderous aura. After seeing through the original plan, Hua Bian Que had no choice but to honestly return to the doctor, put one hand on Lancelot's head, first luck, followed by condensing magic power, and probing each other, and soon confirmed the cause.
Hua Bian Que had never read the "Heavenly Demon Sutra", but only told Quan Ying the conclusions he had reached before and this time. From the information read in the palm of his hand, Hua Bian Que judged the technique that Lancelot had used, this kind of unheard of joint technique, skillfully made the Tianxin consciousness of the two martial artists converge, breaking through the scope of their own strength, and the power that erupted at that moment was immeasurably strong.
"But this technique is like playing with fire by the fire library, there is a high degree of instability, I am surprised that this patient did not die on the spot, he can rely on this skill to challenge Zhou Gongjin and survive, it is incredible, hmm...... It seems that a third party has intervened......"
With her professional knowledge, Hua Bianque was right to say that the situation at that time was correct, but when it came to the actual treatment method, she said that she was helpless.
"The brain is not physically injured, no need for treatment, this situation is just the interference of the Tianxin consciousness on both sides, so the consciousness will be out of control, unable to wake up, this kind of thing is unprecedented, so there is no clear treatment method, the most stable suggestion is to continue to wait, let time to treat, and wait until the chaotic influence of the Tianxin consciousness fades, people will naturally be sober. ”
Hua Bian Que's explanation, Quan Ying could accept it, but when asked how long she expected to wake up, the answer she received made Quan Ying's face turn green on the spot.
"It could be tomorrow, it could be next year, maybe it would be three or five months, maybe it would be three or five years, and if this monkey eats and sleeps well, even if it is three or five hundred years, it is not impossible. ”
The first person to jump up and protest against this answer was Youxue, who was sitting next to him, "Three or five hundred years? God, the boss is demolishing the house every day now, and if he goes crazy for another three or five hundred years, the whole Reins-Tilren will be wiped out for him!"
"That's easy, if you throw him to Altinor, it will take at least five hundred years for him to tear it down. ”
"Do you want to discuss this kind of thing with the Iron-Mask Shemale......"
"Wait, two. ”
Izumi Sakura stopped Youxue and Hua Bian Que's words, and said that although it is good to wait naturally, there are too many things to deal with at the moment, and Eltino has a big enemy on his side, and he desperately needs Lancelot's strength, is there no way to make him sober up early?
"Yes, you can give it a try, but this kind of spell needs to find two patients, and two practitioners with similar mana will work together, and it is not too difficult for the practitioner to do this, as long as you find ......"
If there is Mei Lin pressing the formation, it is not too difficult to cooperate with the spell, but Izumi Sakura can only smile bitterly, because at present, Mei Lin and Qi Reith are both missing persons, and the intelligence network of the Qinglou Alliance cannot effectively grasp their whereabouts, so it is really easy to bring these two people to cooperate with the spell.
However, when Izumi Sakura was about to get up and say thank you and leave with her husband, Lancelot, who had been sleeping with her head down and silent, suddenly raised her head, her eyes widened, and her essence burst out, and Hua Bian Que's face changed, and the palm placed on the top of the patient's head sensed some very unusual fluctuations.
"It's ...... There are other sorcerers who are casting spells in reverse, and their abilities are good, and their strength is quite good...... Ugh!"
A god-given opportunity, Hua Bian Que was half forced to do his best to stabilize Lancelot's disordered brain waves, and the next moment, a violent roar like wind and thunder roared in the director's office of the Dark Magic Research Institute, shaking the entire building and shaking everyone's eardrums.
