In December of the fifth and sixth years of the Altino calendar, the White Tower of Ivory in Reins

Lancelot had never encountered such a strange injury since he had cultivated the Aether Immortal Body, and he even needed to heal with the help of external forces.

The whole body is immersed in the large water tank, the toxins in the body are forced out, the color of the water becomes more and more turbid, and when it is completely black, it is replaced with new water, and so on five times, Lancelot, who has completely restored his body, does not leave the water tank.

"It's amazing! What kind of poison is this? Even if it's the rumored Poison Emperor, I'm afraid it's nothing more than that!"

Lancelot was amazed. After he cut off the metal cone, he encountered a large explosion, and at close range, he resisted it with all his might, and only survived the hot and strong explosion, and then used his etheric immortal body to heal the broken flesh with all his strength.

In the explosion, a toxin that had never been seen before invaded the body. It's a bit strange to say it's a toxin, because it doesn't feel like a normal poison, and its temperament is not violent, but if it's not a poison, it does damage the flesh, and it seeps into the bone marrow as soon as it is touched, colorless and odorless, if it weren't for the aether indestructible body's automatic reaction to injury, Lancelot might be difficult to detect.

"The poison of the Poison Emperor will be more powerful than this, but even the Poison Emperor can't concoct this kind of thing. Xiaocao smiled bitterly: "To be precise, this is not called poisoning, it can be regarded as radiation pollution!"

Born in the Bai family and with the knowledge of the Ancient Demon Dao, when he saw a mushroom-shaped red cloud in the distance rushing into the sky, Xiaocao immediately understood what was happening, and his heart was stunned.

If he knew early on that Lancelot would encounter the Ancient Demon Dao weapon on this trip, then he should have followed him around, or let him attack with the Demon Guide troops, at least there would be no stupid thing of clashing head-on with the Chaos Fire Crossbow.

Even if you don't use the power of the Heavenly Position, as long as you use the power of the peak of the Earth Realm to use the soft energy, blast the Chaos Fire Crossbow straight into the sky, and explode at high altitude, the lethality will be much smaller than it is now.

This time, except for Lancelot and Niel, a thousand cavalrymen and horses were all killed, and they couldn't even pick up their equipment, and they were completely defeated at home, which was a serious blow to morale.

Xiaocao was extremely dissatisfied in her heart, she didn't want to believe that her brother would deceive her, but the situation in front of her seemed to be the only explanation. The Chaos Fire Crossbow is the secret weapon of the Bai Family's Ancient Demon Dao Research Institute, especially according to Fujun's description, the Chaos Fire Crossbow also has the function of automatic guidance and tracking, which is even more of a secret among the secrets, with the brother's mastery of the Research Institute, unless he agrees, how can Bai Xing master this kind of secret weapon?

Two thousand years have passed, and technology has been constantly renovated and improved, and the ancient demon path that could not have a decisive impact in the battle situation during the Kyushu War in the past has made a completely different breakthrough today.

Since the Kyushu War, Reyns has been developing new weapons and new tactics in order to win the war of the comeback of the demons, hoping to make up for the excessive strength gap between the two sides of the day and the demons. With Alcatraz Island in compassion and the most complete ancient books in the whole continent as a reference, the Bai family's research results on the ancient demon path are unique in the mainland, and more than a thousand years ago, they aimed their research at the legendary heavenly master.

If the demons invade again, the heavenly masters will inevitably reappear. With this as the main premise, if the developed Ancient Demon Dao weapon could not pose a threat to the Heavenly Rank Master, then it would be meaningless to the entire battle situation. In view of this, the Bai family invested countless efforts and material resources to study the so-called celestial power, and at the same time develop weapons that can restrain the celestial position.

These studies have gradually blossomed and borne fruit at present, although it is still insufficient for the Heavenly Rank War, but even if the Great War of Humans and Demons breaks out, and there are Heavenly Rank masters attacking Jiji, the Bai family's researchers are also confident that they will surprise the other party and touch a nose without defense.

Because of this, he didn't want these weapons to appear in this civil war, which made Bai Xing get strong help, and made the war unpredictable......

After Lancelot entered the royal capital, he never officially set foot in the Jixia School Palace, let alone visited the Ancient Demon Dao Research Institute located in the School Palace, of course, this forbidden land that belongs to the Bai family's high secrets, and it was not easy for Queen Dareyns to enter in the past, let alone his unstable prince.

Queen Leah has passed away, and Xiaocao has re-set foot on this forbidden land as "Prince Lancelot's confidential secretary", and in order not to be recognized, she has put a magic shield around herself, so that everyone who sees her will only feel that she is an old person who déjà vu but can't remember.

For safety, she also pulled Gengoro to go with her. Without this idol who is currently super popular in the Jixia School Palace, she, an "outsider", will be blasted out before she enters the research institute.

However, the staff of the institute were surprisingly friendly, showing a high degree of willingness to cooperate with the two investigation envoys representing the new prince.

The reason is simple, because last night's explosion also shocked them......

"No matter how the political situation changes outside, our spirit is only focused on research, and it is none of our business who sits on the throne of God. A representative of the Bai family who was in charge of the reception said: "Although Bai Xing is a member of our Bai family, in this civil war, the Ancient Demon Dao Research Institute will remain absolutely neutral and will not participate in any of the parties. ”

Xiaocao nodded, the personality of these uncles and brothers, she knows very well that all researchers have such a temperament, as long as they can have a good environment to concentrate on research and have sufficient funds, they don't want to care about the changes in the outside world at all, so these words are the basic position of this research institute.

"I understand your sincerity, but last night, His Royal Highness the Prince went on an expedition, and the other party did use the Chaos Fire Crossbow. Gengoro said, "In Reyns, apart from this research institute, is there any other place where you can make ancient magic weapons?"

"No way!" said more than a dozen delegates, giving unanimous answers.

"Then there is only one explanation, this weapon is from the research institute, and it may even be that one of you provided it to Bai Xing, do you think this is my inference?"

The representatives of the researchers were unimpressed, and they could not come up with a strong explanation, so they were so anxious that they jumped to their feet.

It took a while for someone to try to explain that the Bai Family Research Institute was heavily guarded, and in order to prevent Bailu Cave from having two hearts with spies from various countries, or even its own personnel, it has always had a very strict vigilance and surveillance system, and it has also made great efforts in information confidentiality, so it stands to reason that there should be no such thing as the leakage of confidential documents.

Even if there is a design drawing accidentally leaked out, like the high-level weapons used last night, it has long been beyond the scope of independent production of each student's studio, and it is necessary to use the equipment in the research institute and mobilize more than a dozen people to jointly produce it, so that there is a way to complete it. It is absolutely impossible for such a large volume of things to be smuggled out without knowing it, not to mention that in the past two months, the research institute has not engaged in this production at all.

Gengoro smiled, "I understand your sincerity, but the facts are right in front of you. The day master has extremely sharp Ancient Demon Dao weapons in his hands, and there is no second place in the whole continent where these weapons can be made except here, what reasonable explanation can you give me?"

It was about the innocence of the entire Ancient Demon Dao Research Institute, but when it came to the deep issues, the representatives of the researchers didn't seem to care too much.

Rather, they didn't care what the new prince would think, and they didn't bother to explain or prove anything to the savage foreigner. The reason why they opened the door and allowed the two investigation envoys to enter was only for two reasons: first, they were also curious about the details of last night's explosion, and second, the head of the house had issued a secret order early this morning, and it was necessary to find out where the primeval magic weapon in the hands of the day was, otherwise the research budget for next year would be withdrawn.

Knowing that the situation is not good, the research institute has immediately launched a thorough investigation of all personnel, wanting to know whether some high-secret files that have not yet been successfully developed have been leaked out and made into weapons, but there has been no result for a while, these things belong to the research institute's family scandal, and they are naturally reluctant to mention it to two outsiders.

Knowing their thoughts very well, Gengoro could only agree with them before leaving, if there was any new discovery, please inform His Royal Highness the Prince and jointly assist in the investigation.

"Brother, this is different from what we said before, you promised me. ”

In the evening, Xiaocao once again found his drunken brother and questioned about the leakage of the Ancient Demon Dao weapon.

Expecting his sister to ask this question, Bai Wuji did not stay in the hotel street this night, but chose a rather secluded secret mansion, and even the female companions who were used to following him were all sent away, ready to have a secret conversation with his sister. It's just that the method of Xiaocao's appearance is also a little abnormal. Silently, he just stepped out of the mirror, and the completely ghostly debut method made Bai Wuji almost squirt out the wine in his mouth.

"I did promise you, within the scope of my ability, I can also guarantee that there will be no ancient demon weapons flowing into Bai Xing's hands, but the world is unpredictable......"

"What do you mean?"

Hearing that there was something in his brother's words, and even sniffing out that there was something abnormal in things, Xiaocao was silent and waited for his brother's explanation.

"You know more about the Ancient Demon Dao than I do, and you also helped the research institute supervise several research projects a while ago, so you should know a little bit about the current entry of the research institute, right?"

Xiaocao nodded, although it was not too much, but she still had a basic impression of the current research progress of the research institute.

"The uncle in the research institute has some words that he has not said and cannot speak. The weapon used by the daytime camp last night was a middleweight positive electron cannon, which the research institute has been testing, but so far, the technical problem of overheating the system cannot be solved, and every time it is fired, it has to be shut down for three minutes to cool down, even so, there is still a risk of energy loss and explosion. And last night's positive electron cannon, during the entire attack, fired continuously, and there was no problem of overheating at all. ”

“......”

"As for the Chaos Fire Crossbow, there's something even more fun. You should know that the explosion of the Chaos Fire Crossbow is not only lethal in itself, but also the radiation contamination afterwards is even more dangerous. But this morning, when the uncle of the research institute went out to test in protective clothing, he could not detect the slightest point of radiation index at all. ”

"How can this be? Isn't that plan just being proposed, and hasn't been ...... yet?"

"You're right. A while ago, the research institute proposed a plan, hoping to study a purification device, which would automatically purify the previously polluted area after an hour of the explosion of each Chaos Fire Crossbow, taking into account the ideal of environmental protection, but this plan has just been proposed, and it has not even begun formal research, let alone put it into practice. ”

Bai Wuji said: "So, the facts are obvious. Last night's battle was not a leak of the Institute's secrets...... How can a dream weapon that cannot be made at all leak out? Naturally, the uncles will not tell you such a humiliating thing. ”

Xiaocao understood what her brother meant, but she was even more suspicious. Looking at it this way, could it be that Bai Xing has mastered techniques beyond the level of the current research institute and developed these sharp weapons on his own? This is unlikely, in the past, the investigation of Bai Xing has never found that he has cultivated the Ancient Demon Dao, let alone suddenly become a master of this Dao.

So, among the children of the Bai family who are currently defecting to him, there are indeed some students of the research institute, and some outstanding person among them has developed these things?

Xiaocao looked at her brother and asked with her eyes.

"It doesn't seem to be, little sister. Bai Wuji shrugged his shoulders and said, "The spies placed by Bai Xing's side regularly report to me the outstanding people in the Bai Xing camp, in terms of the Ancient Demon Dao, there are technicians, and they have also formed a group, but they are just small people who are not proficient in learning, and there are no Great Ancient Demon Dao masters in it." ”

"Did the spies mention where the weapon came from this time?"

"Yes. Bai Xing suddenly visited the technician team in the early hours of yesterday morning, handed them a few design drawings, as well as a bunch of semi-finished products and materials, and asked them to assemble them as soon as possible. It was just installed and ready to be tested, but your husband took the lead in killing it, and it just happened to be the target of the new weapon. ”

Last night's attack, it seems that the worst time was really chosen, Xiaocao thought in his heart, the most important thing at the moment is to find out the source of the few design drawings in Bai Xing's hand, if there is a master behind his back, then, pull this master into his own camp, the long-term benefits are higher than 500,000 troops.

"Aside from the research institute, is there any other place in the world where you can develop the Ancient Demon Dao weapon?"

This question Gengoro had asked the representatives of the research institute, and Xiaocao now asked himself, but he still couldn't get an answer.

The Oriental family once set up a research department, and in recent decades has invested a lot of money and manpower, but after all, it has not been for a long time, and it can be seen from the cooperation and contact of the "Wu Huo Shen Thunder" that they are at least 800 years behind Reyns. Under the instruction of Cao Shou, Altino also set up a research department a hundred years ago, with the goal of how to use the ancient magic technology to make some novelty playthings to please the emperor, but due to the lack of talents, Reins has always refused to communicate with him, and the results are not worth it.

If it weren't an organization, then it would be time to consider a small number of seniors who were proficient in the Ancient Demon Dao.

The first candidate is naturally the "Sage of the Day" Huang Taiji, his achievements in this area, can be called the father of the ancient demon road, the research institute hangs his back portrait everywhere, and is still trying to study the manuscripts and notes he left back then, as the focus of development.

If it were him, he would naturally have the ability to create a weapon beyond the level of the research institute, however, according to his own induction, and Gengoro's confirmation, this senior had died suddenly on Mount Arambat two years ago and never reappeared. It's just that did the sage of the day leave a successor?

Alas, I feel remorse when I think of this, this Sun Sage Master's primeval demon path cultivation can be called the first in the Wind Continent My husband has been with him for so long, why hasn't he learned any skills? If not, even if he can't use the power of the Heavenly Rank now, he just needs to go to the research institute to show his hands, and make sure that those uncles who are research idiots will go crazy from now on, and support him with all his might.

However, my husband's brain and personality are indeed not the material of the Ancient Demon Dao......

"Brother, can your spies follow Bai Xing and find out where he got the design from?" "It's difficult! Bai Xing's light skills are really good, a few doppelgangers turn into shadows, the spies are dazzled, and they can't catch up with him at all!"

"Doppelganger avatar...... Why does daytime travel make light legs?"

Although he has not cultivated himself, Xiaocao has heard his brother mention that he has turned into a shadow, and there is no half-trick attack, which is the two major characteristics of the light legs in the six arts of the Bai family.

"Well...... Half a year ago, an old servant of his house came to him, and by the way, he presented an old secret book, which had no cover on it, and he didn't know what it was......"

"Brother!"

"Don't be so angry! If you don't have a branch by your side during the day, wouldn't it be a waste of your hard work?" Bai Wuji smiled: "Besides, he is still a member of the Bai family, I didn't pass on the Six Arts to others!"

When she was told like this, Xiaocao had to be silent, because she herself acted arbitrarily and passed on the secrets of the Six Arts to her husband who did not have the blood of the Bai family......

"Okay, leave this matter aside, I will go to find out the master behind the daytime line, and ask your spies to pay more attention to your brother. Xiaocao said: "However, there is one more thing I want to ask. Niel said that when she was about to return last night, she was stopped by five unidentified enemies, and the flesh of these five people will be beastly mutated, what do you explain this?"

The manuscript left by Huang Taiji mentions that when humans and demons fight, even if they have the same strength, the spiritual power of human beings is better, but the physical body of the demon race still has a great advantage over human beings, in order to eliminate this disadvantage, you can try to use genetic modification to make the human body beast, and even in a more lethal form, overwhelm the power advantage of the demon race.

The Bai family has been conducting this research for hundreds of years, capturing demons on Alcatraz Island, dissecting and researching, from transplanting limbs to genetic modification, and now Xiaocheng is trying to develop a demonized army. In the past few years, the experimental subjects developed have to be tested in actual combat, and they are all sent to the North Tower under the grass, and the eldest brother who lives in it will personally measure them, and Niel recounts the appearance of the five enemies last night, and it is clear that they are the experimental subjects of the demonized troops.

"I did promise you that the Bai family's Ancient Demon Dao weapons would not flow out. Bai Wuji said: "But the demonized class is a creature, not a weapon, and it shouldn't be included." Besides, if I can't cope with this level of fighting, then my brother-in-law has no future to speak of. ”

Xiaocao was silent, and what my brother said was right, now let's focus on cracking the enemy's primeval demon weapon!

In the days that followed, Lancelot's side was really troubled. The defeat in the first battle, and the total annihilation of the army, leaving only two managers to flee in embarrassment, this news seriously hit Lancelot's image, if before this, the Reins despised the barbarism of the new prince, but still feared his brute strength, then now even this fear began to waver.

The unstable morale of the people on Lancelot's side is that the morale of the daytime side is greatly boosted. I didn't understand the truth of the matter, all the soldiers saw was the fact that the enemy had fled for his life, and the super power of the Ancient Demon Dao weapon, the original fear of the power of the heavenly position was swept away, and they all claimed to enter the force and take the royal capital in one fell swoop.

This was exactly what Bai Xing wanted, but in order not to cause a fierce backlash from the people in the city, he did not dare to attack excessively, so he only stationed a hundred miles outside the city and surrounded the entire royal city.

Of course, it is not so simple to put pressure on the people in the city, but it is also difficult to travel during the day. The entire royal capital of Jixia, including the royal academy and the ivory white pagoda inside, is not only a monument of high historical value, but also the spiritual sustenance of all Reins people.

As a result, dozens of half-human-tall iron birds were released during the day, circling over Jixia, throwing explosives and making simple air raids. But the side defending the city is not general, the day after it was bombed, Niel personally guarded the city, saw the iron bird flying, immediately pulled the bow and arrows, with its divine power to carry out long-distance divine shooting, and destroyed the high-altitude iron birds one by one. The city was rich in materials and self-sufficiency, and if there was no fierce attack, the siege of the city would not be easy to take effect in the short term, and the two sides were at a stalemate for a while.

And before things can go any further, Gengoro needs to leave the city. The order for the transfer of the five-color flag has been secretly issued, and the army has begun to move, in order to command this powerful combat force, Lancelot must send a capable general to command, and look around the people around him, and only Gengoro is qualified to do so.

"Is it really okay to walk away like this?!Seriously, I'm so worried. Gengoro sighed and said: "The situation here is not stable, but don't let me go, the boss has done something earth-shattering and absurd, you have to warn him a little." ”

"As long as I'm here, there's no big mess. Xiaocao smiled!"Not only will I keep an eye on him, but even my beautiful sister-in-law will also keep an eye on him, Your Excellency, you can go with confidence!"

When Gengoro was assigned to command the five-color flag, he slammed the table and protested loudly, demanding that Niel go with him, otherwise he would refuse to take office.

Finally established a little relationship with Nier, and suddenly said that she wanted to separate, with her current popularity in Jixia, there are a large number of suitors running behind all day long, maybe she will go out to lead the army, and she will mutiny for herself in the rear. If this kind of thing happens, he will really be a double Shet tortoise.

But just as she was unwilling to leave, Nier didn't want to be separated from Lancelot for a long time, and let her say all the good things and lure her in every way, her eldest girl just shook her head, and refused to leave Ji for the next step.

Things developed like this, and there was only three sighs of helplessness, and he went alone to lead the five-color flag on the road. From the rendezvous point to the vicinity of the North Gate Tianguan, it is necessary to pass through several provinces of Reins, including the sphere of influence of the daytime, but with the momentum and strength of the five-color flag, it should not be stopped by anyone.

It would be great if anyone dared to send troops to block it, and one of Lancelot's secret orders was to use the five-color flag to sweep away the opposition forces in this situation, and it would be even more ideal if he could draw the five-color flag that did not want to participate in the civil war to his side and participate in the civil war.

This idea cannot be said to be bad, but it is ...... It's too wishful thinking, I don't know which book on the art of war inspired him?

It wasn't until the day before yesterday that Gengoro was told by Kokusa that in recent months, Lancelot had often run away from anyone during the day, and had actually plunged into Reyns's library, reading one by one, hoping to make up for his lack of orthodox education.

This motivation is very good, but a person's martial arts talent is not equal to all his learning talents, Lancelot's reading and learning, but also facing the hard battle with the Sandman, its high difficulty is no less than the fierce battle with the heavenly master.

Gengoro is about to set off, so naturally he can't care about anything, I just hope that my brother can be restrained, don't go crazy with studying, and behave more absurdly and bizarrely. In a word, the cold window career is overly depressed, and after continuously failing in the examination room and reality, he gave up on himself, and as a result, he became the most hopeless saboteur.

"I don't want you to leave Jixia either!, but the situation in front of you has to be yours. ”

Xiaocao's words have two meanings. To command the five-color flag and resist the invasion of the Hua family, at the moment, on the Lancelot side, only Gengoro has the ability to do it, but in addition to the Hua family's army, Gengoro must also be responsible for blocking one person. The mad sword that almost wiped out Lancelot's camp, Amakusa Shiro!

On that day, only Xiaocao paid for his life and forcibly used the Five Extremes Heavenly Style to defeat him, in terms of his injuries, even if the recovery power of the heavenly powerhouse is better than that of ordinary people, it will take two or three months to recover the combat power. If he recovers from his injuries and returns, Gengoro will be the most capable candidate to stop him.

Both sides know this consideration, but it is not too much to talk about.

"By the way, about what you said last time, the primeval demon genius who doesn't belong to the Bai Family Research Institute, I'm ...... There may be a candidate. ”

When Kokusa returned from meeting with his brother and informed Gengoro of his conclusions, a figure immediately appeared in his mind, it was a dwarven girl who had a relationship with him in the Alembat Mountains, but he didn't know her whereabouts for a while, and it would take time to investigate.

"I have asked Qinglou to investigate on my behalf, and if there is any news, I will contact you immediately...... Alas, I'll leave it to you in the city, keep an eye on the people who should be watched, and don't let them do anything that will make the headlines in the newspapers!"

"Don't worry, you can go in peace!"

"I'm gone, I'm gone, go in peace......"

Shaking his head and sighing, Gengoro left Jixia alone, and the elders of the palace faction almost congratulated him on the departure of the first disciple of the sage, and it was because of him that the elders sat back and watched the command of the five-color flag fall to outsiders.

The power of the heavenly position cooperated with Jiuyao's extreme speed, and the blockade outside the city was impossible to stop Gengoro, who was flying away, so he took it in a row. Hante, who hid his own breath, only sighed for himself.

It's just that when the city leader sends Gengoro away, Xiaocao then receives a message that makes her eyes stand out: Prince Lancelot is making trouble at the Great Ancient Demon Dao Research Institute......
