Chapter 1: The Fall of the Alien Star
Eltino Ric 568 December Reyns Tirensisikoga Island
Alcatraz, located directly north of Reins, has been shrouded in an eerie atmosphere since months ago.
For the nation of Reyns, Alcatraz is not only a land of evil, a frontier, but also a source of truth. Most of the affairs in the country, the people of the whole country can only know the "official statement", and believe it to be true, only on Alcatraz Island will the truth be made public, because this island directly facing the realm tunnel is the headquarters of the white character family, and the people who are qualified to work here are specially selected talents who can do great things.
If a strongman from other forces arrives, such as in the eyes of Gong Jin or Hülegü, they will feel that the children of the Bai family who are going to enter Alcatraz Island have another characteristic in addition to their outstanding abilities, that is, absolute obedience to the supreme leader. In their opinion, the servility of the Bai family's brainwashing of the members of the organization for thousands of years and the deep implantation of generations in their brains has really reached an unreasonable level.
However, all the children of the Bai family in the headquarters of Alcatraz Island, even if they heard this, they would not be angry, because they felt that they were very lucky, in the past thousand years of history, although every child of the Bai family obeyed the leader and bowed down like a robot, but not every child of the Bai family was fortunate enough to meet a master worthy of loyalty, but how fortunate they were, Lord Bai Qi was indeed the most outstanding leader of the family for thousands of years.
Under the leadership of Lord Bai Qi, the White Character Family has been active in recent days, not only strengthening its behind-the-scenes influence on Reins, secretly promoting a lot of work, and even planning to raise troops and invade Eltino...... Yes, it is "aggression", not to hang the people and kill the crime, nor to save the people from dire straits, for the Bai family, aggression and conquest are the most spiritual slogans for them, since the platinum star was hit hard by Lu You hundreds of years ago, depressed, the white family to conquer the continent of the wind of the thousand-year-old grief has accumulated in the hearts of the Bai family on the Alcatraz Island in every generation.
Millennial inheritance, not every head of the family is determined to conquer the Continent of Wind, the previous head of the family, Bai Junhuang, even wants to conquer the whole world, and then conquer the Continent of Wind, and according to everyone's understanding, Lord Bai Qi is not a person who is interested in conquering the hegemony, and this operation of sending troops to El Tieno is really very strange.
As in the past, Bai Qi did not explain to anyone why he wanted to attack the enemy country, and everyone only had to do what he was ordered, anyway, it was enough to have the opportunity to attack Eltino, ask for a breath from the White Deer Cave, and fulfill the thousand-year-old wish of the successive heads of the family, which is what all the children of the Bai family should do.
What's more, people are more worried about Bai Qi's physical condition than the battle situation of Altino. The group of doctors who were responsible for examining Bai Qi's body also gave pessimistic answers that Bai Qi's organs were failing day by day, for unknown reasons, and could not be stopped or treated.
"There is no need to bring up something that has been known for a long time. Synthetic things are not very durable in the first place, and even this kind of thing has to make a fuss, are you still qualified to be a member of the Bai family?"
Bai Qi frowned, and rebuked everyone's expressions in a faint tone, if sadness and sadness can solve things, then let them continue to stand here and cry for a few hours, it doesn't hurt, but what should be done will not disappear because of this, and the meaningless emotions are still less, and it is more convenient to do things.
When the doctor wholeheartedly reported that according to the deterioration of this situation, Da Shao would have half a year to live at most, Bai Qi just stretched out his arm expressionlessly as if he had listened to a routine, and asked the doctor to inject drugs to suppress mental madness, and then continued to give orders to his subordinates, making various military and political instructions, as if he was indifferent to all this, only some old subordinates who had followed their brother for many years knew that Da Shao's heart was really uncomfortable.
Bai Qi has been "selfish" all his life, to put it to the extreme, except for a few of his relatives who have become the objects of his concern, the rest of the human lives have never been regarded by him as human beings, and when doing things, anyone will shake their heads and sigh.
But in the last part of his life, the few people he cared about could not be by his side.
For his sister Liya, Bai Qi didn't contact her at all after this comeback, as if he was afraid that he would bring misfortune to his sister, he didn't even let his sister know about his comeback, and cut it off cleanly and completely. Even when she was trapped in the chaotic stalemate of Heaven and Earth Vitality, she had no intention of helping, because it was safer to stay there than on other battlefields, and he wanted his sister to stay away from danger as much as possible.
For his younger brother Bai Wuji, Bai Qi felt deep regret and grief. This time he woke up from the madness of insanity, it was because of Bai Wuji's blood relatives who fell from the assassination that he woke up in the ivory white tower, and saw his younger brother lying on the hospital bed, full of pipes, although Bai Qi never said anything, everyone knew the sadness in his heart.
Bai Qi does not have much attachment to the hegemony of the white character family, and he is never interested in power and wealth. The idea of this is known from the relevant records left by Oda Ka in the future.
“...... Whether the Bai family can dominate the world or not doesn't matter to me, but the organization of the Bai family is the only thing my father and mother left me, and I don't have anything else to remember them. I don't want to lose ...... if I could."
Listening to Shiraki's words, Oda noticed that his gaze was looking at the vast sea, as if looking for a certain figure. Even when he was sent to the operating room for first aid, his expression was still not a little relaxed, like a young man who was a strong warrior, but when he said these words, he showed childlike innocence, and the subtle truth in this was something that Oda Xiang wanted to understand.
In short, in Odaka's memory, Bai Qi has made a lot of achievements for the white character family, and even at the last moment of his life, he is still obsessed with cultivating successors and letting the white character family have successors.
"That monkey is not a bad person, he has proved to us that as long as you are ambitious, a monkey can be a big hero. But there are not only good things in this world, most people are not good people, in order to deal with these bad things, the white family cannot be handed over to him, and it must be organized by people who can manage bad things...... Inherit it. ”
These words, Bai Qi said to Oda Xiang, and the intention of cultivating her to become the next master of the Bai family can be understood by the children of the Bai family present. also under Bai Qi's gesture, he regarded this beautiful girl who was not a member of the Bai family, or even a person, as a leader.
Actively planning the future of Reyns and the White Character Family, every late night, when the lights have been turned off in other parts of the island, the lights in the White Quarters are still on, and the teenager sitting in the living support system still handles every detail of the report with extraordinary speed and efficiency, and conceives a plan that only he knows.
"Time is getting tighter and tighter, but there are more and more things to deal with, I should already be very industrious! Is it because time is running out, so I feel that things can't be done? Or is life a series of things that can't be done as long as I live for one day?"
With a smile on his face, the teenager fainted in shock on the life-sustaining system seat. When they were sent to first aid, several subordinates who had followed the two brothers of the Bai family to start their own business so far couldn't help but cry in front of people.
"Big Young...... Big and young him...... We have advised him many times to rest more...... He—he can't let it go......"
This is something that all the children of the Bai family on Alcatraz know, and it is also the reason why they are most sad.
Just when Bai Qi was in a coma and first aid, Alcatraz Island received a special electronic communication, which was not sent to the owner of the Bai family, but to contact Bai Qi by name, and the other party directly stated his identity as the enemy's commander-in-chief Zhou Gongjin from Jinao Island.
"Zhou Gongjin, isn't that the enemy's big boss? The people of the White Deer Cave also dare to find Alcatraz Island!"
This incident caused an uproar on Alcatraz Island, but due to Bai Qi's fall, this communication was handled by Oda Xiang on his behalf and refused, and later Bai Qi woke up and did not say anything about it.
Later, as the war in Zhongdu gradually intensified, the reason why Bai Qi secretly intervened in various projects of the Jixia Taiyan Institute was also known to everyone. Only then did everyone realize that the designs that had been added to the Titanic 1 renovation project contained these clever features that would enable Reyns' side to turn the tide at the last minute and win a beautiful victory.
When the beam of the Yuan Shi Cannon pierced through the sky, killing the millions of troops of the demons attacking the human realm in one fell swoop, the joy on Xixi Kejia Island was thunderous. This can be called the biggest victory of the war between humans and demons after the Kyushu War, especially since this victory is completely based on the enemy's strategy, and it is really a very enjoyable thing to kick the enemy in the ankle hard.
This time, although the battle in the middle capital city was very important, because Bai Qi was in poor health, he did not watch the battle situation through the video screen with his subordinates, but recuperated in the ward. The subordinates who were happy for the great victory were anxious to tell the good news, and the team rushed to the hospital, wanting Bai Qi to know the final result, and hoping that the joy brought by the great victory would make the young man smile.
"How is it possible? Lord Bai Qi will definitely reprimand us, saying that people who are carried away by such a small victory are not qualified to survive in the Bai family. ”
"What does it matter? As long as the young and the young are happy in their hearts, what are these reprimands?"
"It's about to be the New Year, and there is no better New Year's gift than this to be able to come with good news before the year. ”
Everyone rushed to the hospital in high spirits, only to learn that not long ago, Hakuki and Oda Ka had left and headed for the beach, and it was said that as usual, Miss Oda Ka accompanied Hakuki to walk along the beach and watch the tide. The sight of the two inhuman beings sitting together on the seashore is one of the most haunting and beautiful images of Alcatraz residents in recent times.
It's just that when everyone came to the beach, they didn't see the picture of the boy and the girl sitting side by side, but saw another familiar famous scene.
The mechanical chair used by the head of the house, floating half a foot above the ground, facing the vast sea in the low tide, on which only its sole owner sits, covered by a white scarf, with his hands hanging down, is leaning on the back of the chair, resting easily.
"Hahaha, Miss Xiang is playing a prank again. ”
"What's so funny? Hurry up and put away that white scarf, if you let Da Shao wake up and find out, it won't be good. ”
"That's right, put it away!"
Familiar picture,Evoke the memories that everyone saw a month ago,That time Oda Xiang's prank made everyone so embarrassed,Hindsight feels really embarrassed,Now the old play is repeated,People look at each other,Very tacit understanding put away the smile,Quietly approached the past,Led by an old subordinate responsible for removing the white scarf。
"Da Shao, please get up, we have something to ......"
The joyful words suddenly stopped here, which puzzled the children of the Bai family behind them, and an ominous smell that made people uneasy suddenly rushed through everyone's hearts, making them tremble involuntarily.
“...... Big ......"
It was like a sigh, it was like choking, and when the old voice trembled, everyone present understood what was happening.
Although they had been mentally prepared, this grief, which they were least willing to face, was chosen to give each of them a heavy blow when they were most cheerful and unprepared. All of them felt the same way, and at the same time as the sharp pain in their chests, their knees also lost the strength to support their bodies.
I don't know who started it, hundreds of Bai family members on the beach knelt down one after another, and after a while, except for the old man standing next to the cockpit of the head of the house, there was no more than half of the people standing on the beach, and the choked cry quickly sounded in the ebb and flow of the tide.
The old man is the same generation as Bai Dezhao among the existing children of the Bai family, since the beginning of the incident on Alcatraz Island, he has followed the dedication and experience of these two juniors, watched them be born, and watched them fall one after another, witnessing the life path of the two sons of the military royal lord.
“...... Big and Young...... You have worked hard, and the Bai family has always been taken care of by you......"
Unable to stop the trembling of his hands, the old man took the young man's cold body out of the cockpit, it was obviously such a light body, but it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds when he picked it up. Having lived in the shadows of darkness all his life, at least at this moment of walking, the old man hoped that he would be able to accept the warmth of the sun.
Quietly closed eyes, the young man's sleeping face, there is no coldness and majesty that everyone is familiar with, and it seems that he is still smiling slightly, like an innocent child, full of childishness, not at all like his usual ......
"Later...... You can rest and don't have to worry about the Bai family's affairs...... Thank you for everything you do for this family......"
Hundreds of children of the Bai family knelt down regardless of age, their eyes were red, and they paid the most respect to the master of the Bai family, who no longer existed. Such a mourning scene is extremely rare even in the history of the head of the Bai family, which is known for his control skills.
Born in the Darkness, Died in the Light!
On December 31, the year 568 of the Eltino calendar, Bai Qi, the first prince of the former Reyns Tiren, passed away on the island of Xixikojia after planning the great victory in the battle of Zhongdu and destroying the army of millions of demons, and completed his brilliant life of burning up the light for others.
At the time of his death, Bai Wuji and Cangyue Cao were not around, and Xixi Kejia Island was not mourned, but the final effects of his death were not really felt until a short time later, and no one expected this development at that time......
※※※
The battle ended in a series of noises, and some of the members who fought fiercely in the first half have already moved away from the stage, they don't know that this war is not over, and there is still the second half going on.
Among the members who were fortunate enough to leave the battlefield, Zhou Gongjin, the former military commander-in-chief of Altino, was one of the representatives. The confrontation with Reyns's side was over, and all the tasks he had carried came to an end, and while Gong Jin was still thinking about where to go, he had already left the middle capital city hundreds of miles away and entered the nearby mountains.
Walking among the rocks and vines, the world is so big and infinitely wide, he has too many places to go, but when he confirms his heart and wants to find out where he really wants to go, he finds that he has nothing to do. Perhaps, he should have stayed in the vicinity of the Middle Capital for a little longer, for no matter what the situation turned out afterward, there would be a period of predictable unrest, and with the manpower available to Reyns and Altinor, he doubted that they would be able to handle it properly.
(Forget it, I shouldn't be in charge of these things anymore.) Hülegü has enough talent to deal with it, and if I don't learn to let go, I will be no different from Master, and there is no reason for the mistakes that have been passed down from generation to generation in the White Deer Cave to continue...... )
Trust in Hülegü's ability is a big reason, but more importantly, Gong Jin knows that he is an injured person or a seriously injured person, and the first thing he should do now is to deal with and suppress his injuries first.
The immortal ability of the Saitian position can strengthen the healing ability of the flesh a thousand times, and it stands to reason that after the martial artist ascends to the Saitian position, there are almost no physical injuries that cannot be handled. However, the medicine applied to Hao Kelian's dagger seemed to be specifically aimed at this ability, causing the wound to bleed incessantly, and whenever the wound healed to a certain extent, the healing effect began to reverse, causing the wound to festering and expanding again, causing massive bleeding.
Specifically targeting the toxins of the Heavenly Rank Martial Artists, this kind of thing is incredible, but if it is from the Poison Emperor's lineage, it is not surprising, in the long history, they have specialized in the study of the Heavenly Rank Martial Artists, and there have also been Heavenly Rank Martial Artists in the sect, and there are enough materials for research. In the Battle of Gufeng two thousand years ago, the strongest person in the history of the demon race, the Great Demon God King Temujin, was also dragged down by the drug of the Poison Emperor's lineage, and was besieged by a strong enemy and died. Gong Jin, who has read this record, is quite vigilant and never wants to give the enemy a chance to draw a gourd in the same way.
(Although Ming Lei Chun claims to be throwing himself at Reins, he is likely to be involved with Shi Chong, in other words, Shi Chong will not let go when he learns of my current situation.) )
Gong Jin has this self-knowledge, because after Shi Chong's various treacherous schemes were exposed, the two sides were already endless, although he swore to punish Shi Chong, but Shi Chong would not miss the opportunity to kill himself, especially since there is an obvious gap in strength between the two sides, if Shi Chong wants to save his life, he has to take advantage of his weakest time.
Although the drug of the poison emperor is powerful, it is not difficult to deal with, in terms of the septic blood toxin in his body, it should not be a simple plant toxin, but some kind of recessive bacteria, latent in the patient's body, it is not easy to search, but as long as you calm down, there is a few days to half a month, and you can easily force out the location of the germs.
In the past, none of the top warriors who died at the hands of the Poison Emperor in the past, including Temujin, really died of poison, all of them were dragged down by poison, attacked by strong enemies, and had no time to deal with the poison in battle, so they were defeated and died; Hao Kelian's plan at that time should be that after being poisoned, his combat strength would be reduced, and he and Reyns would be defeated, and they would clean up the mess again.
(In other words, there should still be their people nearby, is it Dolgon??
Dolgon is fine, but Hua Tianevil is extremely difficult to deal with, if Lancelot can enter the Zhai Heavenly Position, Hua Tianevil is undoubtedly more likely to enter the Zhai Heavenly Position. You can't win with the ability of the Vitality Lock, and with your own tired body, it's really disadvantageous to fight head-on.
At this time, Gong Jin didn't know that Hua Tianxie was swept head-on by the explosive power of Titanic Fortress, and was in a tragic situation where life and death were unknown, but when he was thinking about it, a sentence that Hao Kelian had said flashed through his mind.
"No matter how strong a martial artist is, he is still flesh and blood, if the blood runs out, he will still die, you are really honored, this toxin research has been carried out for more than a hundred years, and it has finally succeeded recently, and the scheduled number one victim was not your ......"
When the war situation was urgent before, there was no time to think about many things carefully, but now that I think about it, in the words that Hao Kelian said inadvertently, there were actually a lot of clues. The newly researched toxin, if it is used many times, will be found to be cracked, so the first use must be against the strongest enemy, and among the current celestial martial artists, purely in terms of strength, he should undoubtedly be the first choice, if not, then ...... Who else is stronger than themselves?
Lancelot? After the Great War, his strength and importance were recognized, but until then, he should not be the primary target of the enemy......
Unable to think of the answer to the question, after repeated consideration, Gong Jin faintly had a very unlucky premonition, which made him look back at Zhongdu, and subconsciously sensed that something might change there.
"Second Senior Brother!"
A call came into his ears, which surprised Gong Jin. With lax vigilance and serious injuries, his ears and eyes were less sensitive than usual, and he couldn't find anyone approaching, of course, the high martial arts of the person who came was also one of the reasons.
Gong Jin turned his head, and the figure of Hülegu appeared in front of him. is still dressed in a snow-white suit, clean and straight, white gloves, white leather shoes, even dazzling in the morning light, and the surrounding mountains and forests and trails seem quite incongruous, but when worn on Hülegü's body, it looks extremely chic.
The sports car that has almost become his personal mark, because Nier fell from the sky a few days ago and smashed it on the streets of Zhongdu, and there was no replacement car for a while, so this noble boy rarely walked a long way in person and used his legs.
In this world, Hülegü is one of the few people that Gong Jin rarely cares about. Seeing that he was safe and sound, Gong Jin simply smiled, but didn't say anything more, just walked past him.
"Didn't you say that you want to fight the world together? I ran away alone and left my little brother behind, this is really unreasonable!"
Hülegü stretched out his hand to stop people, rehashing the old matter, saying that the second senior brother came forward with him, launched a coup d'état together, and joined forces to sweep away his master Lu You and the traitor Shi Chong, and then pulled his father Cao Shou off the throne. Although he was invited to come forward at that time, the strength shown in the senior brother's words was not allowed to be refused at all, and he reluctantly agreed.
"Whether it's starting a business or seizing the country, halfway through the work, the entrepreneurial partner suddenly ran away, leaving me alone to support the overall situation, this sense of responsibility is really excessive, excessive!"
"Every human being is born with his responsibilities. My duty is done, and you have the blood of the Eltino royal family, and the rise and fall of this country is the responsibility you are destined to face, and now it is your turn to take this responsibility. ”
"With the blood of the royal family comes responsibility? The illegitimate children of the Altino royal family are everywhere, and the shepherd who sells dumplings on Suzaku Street at the gate of the city also has the blood of the royal family according to research, how about inviting him to take over this responsibility?"
"Yes, if it suits your aesthetics, then you can do it!"
Contrary to the strong persistence of the past, Gong Jin lightly dealt with Hülegu's rebuttal. Each other has a level of wisdom above the level, and there is no need to talk more, and talking too much will only fall into a circle of sophistry, and it will not be able to really convince people's hearts.
And Gong Jin's final answer seemed to accurately hit the key point of Hülegu's personality, which made this noble son, who was full of princely atmosphere, instantly speechless, unable to find any other words to answer, and put down his outstretched hand, letting Gong Jin walk by him.
At the moment when the two of them were staggered, and the blood-stained robes and snow-white tuxedos were staggered, Hülegü suddenly spoke. Just now, when he asked Gong Jin to stay as a helper on the grounds of national morale, his tone still did not change his usual laughter and banter, but at this time, his tone revealed a leisurely and rare "seriousness".
"Second Senior Brother, if I'm not mistaken, you should actually be my brother-in-law. ”
One sentence made Gongjin's footsteps pause. Gong Jin didn't understand Hülegu's intention to mention this matter, this junior brother didn't like to climb relatives and bring the old style, and he always knew how not to touch the wounds of other people's hearts, and now this sentence came out inexplicably, what is it for?
"According to the consistent plan of the rise and fall of the White Deer Cave, Altino should have been replaced by a new dynasty a long time ago, and it can continue until now because you are supporting the overall situation alone. You, who don't belong to the Cao royal family, would be so dedicated to this country and respect my father so much, all because of my little sister's relationship, right?"
Hülegü and Gong Jin were back to back, and neither of them had the intention of turning their eyes to meet, but just kept talking.
"Speaking of my little sister, I've actually met her once. At that time, I was very young, and she opened a hot spring hotel in Urumqi, and I especially rushed to see her, and I remember ...... My sister is a beauty, and the second senior brother is also very handsome when you sit at the counter, but you probably don't have an impression of me, an orc imp, right?"
"The past is gone, and only coming to climb the kinship at this time can't change any decision. You've been conceited and smart all your life, so you won't be fooled around about this, right?"
The gentle tone gradually changed to Senhan, from a simple warning to a threatening meaning, and a smart person must be able to be alert to the change in the atmosphere, but Hülegü was stunned and spoke with a smile.
"I don't agree with that. It's just a little problem, I want to ask the second senior brother to help me ask. I remember that when my little sister was by your side, she always had a very happy expression, and I wonder if you can ask her for me later, how is she doing? My father and I miss her very much. ”
The malice contained in the smile has been fully revealed. It's not that Gong Jin didn't think that there would be this day, but he didn't expect it to be now, at this moment, when there was no reason to fight at all. It shouldn't be extinguished, then, could it be that if he took his own life, who could Hülegü cooperate with on this condition?
"Don't ask me why. With the wisdom of the second senior brother, he shouldn't be unaware, and if you haven't found out until now, it will disappoint me too much. ”
While speaking, Hülegü also condensed his true qi and made preparations for his hands. Unintentional to hide, the way of walking and the characteristics of the skill of Hülegu Yungong, Gong Jin who is close behind him is very clear and can perceive it thoroughly, although Gong Jin is invincible in strength, but Hülegü is not the kind of reckless man who rushes to war without preparation, and more importantly, even if the other party wants his own life, Gong Jin is not sure if he can harden his heart and make a move on Xiao Qiao's younger brother......
"If you had to ask me why, there might be one. I'm a person who can't look down on things like the eternal separation of heaven and man and the lovesickness between the two places, for the sake of the aesthetics that I personally insist on...... Second Senior Brother, please go down and say hello to my sister!"
The firm tone of each word showed Hülegü's seriousness. For a long time, Hülegü used reason to block the wildness in his bloodline, but that uncontrolled wildness sometimes still comes out of the reins, in the past, the Medici family and the Shi family fought three times, so that the people on the Wind Continent saw this, and now Hülegü wants to put the wildness that has been suppressed for a long time into actual combat.
"I've never tried to break through the realm and do it seriously, so even I don't know what level of my strength is. Maybe my first battle will be embarrassing, and it is not necessary for you to watch a funny farce, senior brother, but I advise you not to be lucky, because I will do it seriously in a minute......"
The Purple Electric Divine Skill of the Medici family has already moved the world in the hands of Kublai Khan, but the power of Hülegü's movement at this time is very different from the unique momentum of the Purple Electric Divine Skill...... Combined with the surging power of Tianxin consciousness for the first time, he couldn't help but raise the master's cultivation to a new level.
And as the strength continued to rise, the internal strength of Hülegü's urging was also clearly revealed, when that earth-shattering demonic aura suddenly appeared behind him, many past events flashed in Gong Jin's mind, these things were strung together, and he suddenly understood an unsolvable mystery on the Wind Continent.
Kublai Khan, is this the real reason why you chose to start a rebellion?)
