Book 64 Isolation and Aggregation
The sick princess frowned, "What do you mean by that?"
I accidentally said what was in my heart. (This chapter was uploaded by netizens) "Anyway, if you take two paintings and let me come, I can't do anything." β
"Do you have to cast a spell on the corpses of the two?" the sick princess recalled the scene when Zhou Shu summoned Arni when she was in the broken house. "It is said that only evil magicians ......"
This is a big misunderstanding.
Zhou Shu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary, but you have to let me get close to the other party, and that person's martial arts cultivation can't be too high." "As long as you don't exceed 11,000 summon points.
"Oh, forget it. The Duke of Lantern and his son are both two-line stars, and they are rare and strong among the many great lords. β
Zhou Shu has also estimated the relationship between martial arts level and summon points in the past few days, a person like Pavol has a series of star summon points close to 30,000, and a little girl like a class of smoke level is 2,000 and a half. Excluding the difference in summon points caused by the total amount of magic power between the two of them, it seems that the summon points raised by smoke-level cultivation are less than 2,000, and the star level is close to 30,000. Zhou Shu is too lazy to analyze these and only know a rough enough, in short, with his upper limit of more than 10,000 points of magic power, at most he can summon a three-series cloud level, and it has to be the kind with low magic talent.
The sick princess's expression was very unhappy at this time, and there were only two problems that seemed tricky to her now. Maybe it's three now, and the Mori no Kuni spy who is lurking in the Weapons Research Institute of the Non-commissioned Officer School will also be counted as one. One of the things that made her most difficult was the Lantern region, which was adjacent to the border of the defeated army, wanting to become independent from the White Moon Country. They would do this, almost equivalent to surrendering to the enemy and surrendering to the thief, and they knew from their knees that they must be colluding with the country of the forest to isolate the only city in this region and defeat the city. This is also the reason why the sick princess wants to make Zhou Shu turn into a lantern duke, she wants to prevent this from happening.
As long as the Defeated Castle is breached, the army of the Forest Country can use the Defeated Castle as a base to further encroach on the White Moon Country. The military strength of the White Moon Kingdom has been consumed too much in the past two years of war, and the hinterland of the kingdom is empty, and it is difficult to even twist a bandit and bandit. These bandits have taken advantage of the national crisis and have gradually grown stronger. If Lantern Castle joins forces with the Forest Country again, it will probably only be a matter of time before the White Moon Kingdom is completely destroyed.
Although there is now evidence that the Duke of Lantern wants to rebel, it is also possible that this is a provocative ploy by the spies of the Forest Country, so the Knight King cannot directly order what to do with the Lantern Castle. At present, the council has politely and tactfully asked Lantern Castle to send protons to the White Moon King City, but the other party has pretended not to receive the news. The soldiers and slaves that had been provided to the defeated city were also cut off, and silver and food were provided instead. The most terrifying thing is that in addition to the Lantern City, there are three big cities in the Lantern District, which have always looked at their horses, and if the Lantern City is reversed, then the Wick City, the Bright City and the Moth City may also have problems.
At that time, the entire Lantern Region will build a high wall between the Defeated Soldier City and the White Moon Kingdom, and turn the Defeated Soldier City into an isolated island in the sea to fend for itself.
The sick princess explained the situation to Zhou Shuzi carefully and originally, and she could hear the latter in a fog.
"Why can't you just dismiss the Duke of Lantern and drive him out of Lantern City? Even if you wronged him, it is better than risking the destruction of the country to keep him. β
The sick princess smiled bitterly, "How can you do this, the influence of the lantern family is very great in the lantern area, and some of the people there probably don't know what Baiyue Country is, they only know that they are lantern people, and they will be driven away when they say they are driven away." Even if they are really driven away, I am afraid that the other lords except the royal city will be in danger because of this, and it is inevitable that a second or third 'Lantern Duke' will appear at that time. She sighed when she said this, mostly out of acting skills. Although this kind of thing is sad, it is not enough to shake her qi cultivation skills.
Zhou Shu scratched his head when he heard this, "As soon as you say that, you really have to rely on me to get him......"
"Can you?"
Zhou Shu pondered for a while with a sad face, and finally sighed and made a difficult decision. "If you can take me to Lantern Castle in Lantern City, I may be able to turn into a Lantern Duke for you. "It's a big deal to consume some of the magic power saved in the Book of Summonings, it's better than being captured in the Defeated City.
The Gray Witch told Zhou Shu to let him stay on the side of the Defeated Soldier City, and now that her positioning magic has failed, the two can only contact each other. If there is a problem in the lantern area and the defeated army city is captured, then Zhou Shubacheng, who is a non-commissioned officer, will run away, and then he will lose contact with the gray witch. In public and private, Zhou Shu can only help the sick princess carry the trouble this time.
"Can you really do it?" said the sick princess, slapping the table in ecstasy. It's not acting this time.
"Words ahead. The people I summoned don't have physical memories, they just look the same as their physical abilities. And I may not be able to summon both the Duke and his eldest son, so be prepared to choose only one of them. β
By doing so, Zhou Shu was directly tantamount to giving up on upgrading the Book of Summoning to the second level. He had accumulated less than 90,000 mana points, and this time he would have to use at least about 50,000. In other words, even if everything is calm after this, the magic power in the Book of Summoning can continue to accumulate quietly, and it will take two months to upgrade the book.
The sick princess listened to Zhou Shu's words, not to mention how moved. "Then let's go now!"
So decisive?"Go to Lantern City now?"
"That's right. According to you, the Duke of Lantern you conjured is just a faΓ§ade, so we need to hurry up and train him to become a real Duke as soon as possible. The sick princess leaned down again and fumbled under the bed, then found a calendar. She pointed to the last day of the calendar and said to Zhou Shu: "The independence of the lantern area should be chosen at the end of this year, that is, three and a half months later." It takes half a month to take a carriage from here to Lantern Castle, and we are in a hurry. β
Zhou Shu didn't care when he set off, "But if you have to walk for such a long time, can it be safe for just the two of us to go?" β
"They're going to be part of tomorrow's operation, and they're going to be out for a long time. β
"No other helpers?"
The sick princess shook her head. "There are only a few people here who know my identity. It's just a trip, and nothing dangerous happens. β
I'm not afraid of dangerous things...... Zhou Shu looked up and down at the graceful sick princess with an embarrassed face. He has heard too much about the transformation of travel friends into gun friends, and literary works such as business trips and encounters always appear in bookstores. It can be said that the combination of the words 'travel' and 'lonely man and widow' necessarily equals 'sex'. He didn't want to have anything unclear with the princess in front of him, this woman was destined to live long, and Master Zhou, who was gradually enriching his feelings, warned himself that it was better not to entangle too much.
"But don't you think, if the two of us go...... Wouldn't it be a little inconvenient. β
"Uh......" The sick princess was so excited to hear the good news just now that she forgot about such an embarrassing thing. She hesitated, "Otherwise, call Miss Ula Myri as well." β
"Forget it. "There's more trouble with her. "Let's just go with the two of us, travel lightly and return early. β
The matter was settled, and he decided to go back to the school first to explain the matter to Ula and Smith. This time he was going out for half a month, and it was the first time he had gone far away since he came to this world.
Back in the school dormitory, there was no one in the whole building. Zhou Shu searched for the cultivation room from one to another, and learned from a second-stage student that all the staff in his class had been called the first school and were busy dividing the department.
The department of the non-commissioned officer school is very simple, it is something that fights and kills. Generally speaking, it is to arrange what type of troops the non-commissioned officers and cadets will bring in the army in the future. Those who are good at riding horses and have no lower limbs to lead cavalry, and those who are good at archery with strong upper limbs, those who can only use stupid strength wear heavy armor, and those who are light and dexterous will probe the enemy in front. Sisters like Alice, who can't do anything, have their place. When the time comes, let them go to the cantonment point as a civilian statistic, count the increase and decrease of military resources, and let them stand on the strengthened magic circle to strengthen the reinforced soldiers when the battle begins.
When Zhou Shuren arrived at the second school field, it was a group of people doing the test, and the big team of the fifth class was no longer there. Just when Zhou Shu was lamenting that he was unlucky, he unexpectedly met Cui Ke who was passing by. Trek had already decided to pursue Lilia, and he was naturally extremely disgusted with Zhou Shu. Ever since the last time he saw Lilia obeying Zhou Shuyan, he had been a little stimulated. The woman she likes is obedient to other men, and she is extremely skilled at even putting bathwater in the bath, and no one can accept it. After inquiring, he heard something from Alice and learned that Zhou Shu had saved Lilia. He naturally thought that it was Zhou Shu who regarded himself as a benefactor to Lilia that would be treated so jealously.
actually pestered a girl for his kindness, and a waiter who didn't even have magic power dared to act so recklessly.
Now that Cui Ke bumped into Zhou Shu, it was a narrow road encounter. At this moment, Smith's absence is a good opportunity to teach Zhou Shu a lesson, how could Trek let it go. As soon as he wanted to step forward, he saw a man from the noble class waving in a friendly manner to his enemy.
Arni started sick leave today and continued to go to school, and after a few days of exploring the things of this world and how to play the role of a young master, he already has some experience. Now that the master has appeared, he naturally wants to come to say hello.
"Yo, Arni, you're back at school. Zhou Shu now saw this face that originally disgusted him, and his feelings were very complicated. "What's the trouble? lately. β
Arni smiled heartily, "I'm very good here, a qiΔshun lΓ¬." "The two of them still have some scruples about talking at school.
Trek hid in the shadows and observed, and soon found the family crest on Arni's short shawl, and recognized this person as the young master of the Wings of Light, who was considered a relatively high-ranking nobleman in the class, at least better than the sons of those officials. Now that the two seem to be chatting in a good atmosphere, he naturally won't come forward to touch his head.
Zhou Shu felt that he really had nothing to talk about with Arni, and he summoned him to replace the dead Arni at that time, because he didn't want his death to reveal the contradictions between the two. Now that the matter is over, Arni's sense of existence in the eyes of Master Zhou has gradually begun to weaken. If it was before, he could still provide some money to Zhou Shu, but now with the Dragon Treasure, money is no longer a problem.
Arni had something to say. Recently, there has been a rush for talent led by Wembo Torch and Pavol in the non-commissioned officer school, and the non-commissioned officers and cadets have gradually divided into two factions and began to stand in line. In imitation of Pavol's autonomous regiment, Wimbo organized an organization called the 'Cloud Cotton Society', which used the powerful nepotism of a group of nobles to attract civilian cadets to join. Arni only returned to school today, and he replied to Wen Bo about joining the Yunmian Club before he had time. happened to meet his own master, so he simply told him about the twists and turns in this school and asked for his opinion.
Master Zhou was too lazy to talk nonsense with these people, and he had to rush to accompany the princess on a trip, so he let Arni do it himself. "But if you can, try not to participate, and I'll have to go home in another year, so it's better to have fewer incidents. β
"Go home?" Arni said with a sad face, "Can I not go back?" In this world, he is the little master of the Wings of Light, and he has dozens of beautiful maids. But if you return to the respectable People's Republic of China with Zhou Shu, you will have to worry about whether it is genetically modified or not even if you eat soy sauce.
Zhou Shu forgot about this stubble. "Then you will continue to be your little master over here, anyway, there shouldn't be anything to do with you when you go back. β
Arni sighed completely, "Why don't you come and sit with me, it's really good." β
"Eh, I found out why you are like this?" Zhou Shu felt that this Arni's character really didn't know how to say. But it doesn't seem good to go over to him. Master Zhou naturally doesn't care about the few in his family, but there is a big room and a big bed, so that the Book of Summoning can be played, isn't it?" I'm going to go out recently, and I'm in a hurry, so I'll tell you something, and I'll tell them about it. β
After explaining the matter, Zhou Shu went straight out of the school gate with the quasi-departure papers, and Arni was quickly found by Wen Bo.
In Wen Bo's opinion, inviting Arni to join his Yunmian Club is just a matter of words. This person's personality is all too familiar to him, whether it is shown to others or in private. In fact, although the two don't have much friendship, they are quite familiar with each other, after all, they are both peers born and raised in this defeated city.
But what Wen Bo didn't expect was that Arni actually refused his invitation.
"Lord Wen Bo, don't get me wrong, I didn't join the Yunmian Society just to concentrate on cultivating martial arts, and I don't want to be distracted by other things. On the other hand, I couldn't have joined the Pavol Autonomous Mission. β
Wen Bo nodded, and accepted this statement very lightly, or rather as an excuse. But he still has to ask one more question: "It's not enough to just put on a name?"
Arni smiled and didn't answer. He was just making an excuse to get a step down on both sides, and that was already a clear statement that he would not get involved in the conflict between Winbo and Pavol. He thinks that Wen Bo is a smart man, and he doesn't need to explain anything more for an excuse, which seems hypocritical.
Wen Bo naturally understood what Arni meant, and felt that he was asking a little redundant. "In that case, I respect your judgment. I had to go beforehand. β
Arni looked at the back of the Rainbow torch leaving, and his heart beat a little drum. The real Arni knows the person of Winbo, but the summoned Arnie does not have the ability. He was still a little afraid that Wen Bo would settle accounts after the autumn, after all, his nominal father was his eldest brother's subordinate. However, as long as the other party is a smart person, it is impossible to make a fuss about such a trivial matter, and it is precisely because of this that Arni has the courage to refuse him.
Trak secretly saw this and was surprised that Arni rejected Winbo. This reminded him of the conversation between Arni and Zhou Shu before, although the content of the conversation was not too clear, but it seemed that the word Yunmian Club had been mentioned, and Zhou Shu had also said something similar to 'don't participate'.
I get it!
That afternoon, Trek found the Winbo Torch and recounted what he had seen.
Wen Bo didn't know the man in front of him before, and there were more than 1,200 non-commissioned officers and students in the two phases of the school, so he couldn't remember so much. But what this man said made him a little interested.
"You mean, it was Adam Smith's squire who persuaded Arney not to join the Cloud Cotton Society?"
Trek nodded, "I've seen it with my own eyes and heard it. Zhou Shu's actions must have been instructed by his non-commissioned officer Adam Smith, and I think Adam Smith must have been plotting to organize an organization similar to the Autonomous Mission. I joined Pavol yesterday in inviting Adam Smith to join the Autonomous Mission, and he declined. Along with him was the fire-eyed Midali. It's no accident that the sixth-level gifted Nem and the fifth-level Lantern siblings, who are well known to Adam Smith, also refuse to join, my lord. β
Wen Bo also invited Nem and Lantern siblings to join today, and all those who were above level 5 had the charm to let him personally recruit. But the three of them said something similar to Arni's and rejected him. Now the things described by the man in front of him are coherent, and perhaps the root knot lies. He glanced at the Autonomous Regiment's badge hanging on Trek's collar and said, "You are from the Autonomous Regiment, why did you come to tell me this." β
Trik smiled flatteringly, and said something in a voice that was so small that Winbo could only hear.
Adam Smith finished the day with a groggy head. This morning, Instructor Hayabusa took five classes of non-commissioned officers and students to divide into departments, and he, like most of the non-commissioned officers, chose the regular department. That is to say, he will lead the regular soldiers to the battlefield in the future, and the equipment used by these soldiers is common bladed weapons such as swords, shields, spears and shields, which belong to the more golden oil of arms. The little girl Lilia chose the bow and arrow department, and to everyone's surprise, she actually had quite good bow and arrow skills.
The afternoon class is a boring patriotic education, which is a compulsory and only compulsory course for all cadets once a week. With Smith's lingua franca level, the whole person can hear it in a fog, but fortunately, no one takes this kind of thing similar to Ma Zhe, Mao Xuan, Jiang San, and Deng on Great Meditation and Cultivation seriously, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand it.
At dinner time, Smith heard the news that his master was away from home. As a summoned object, he expressed due concern about Zhou Shu's trip. Ula Mystery also heard Arni's notice, and when he heard that Zhou Shu was going out for more than half a month, he sighed again and again. Since leaving the language school, Zhou Shu's life has not stopped for a day, and Ula Myri's right eyelid jumps and he always feels that there is going to be some kind of chaos again. As a result, Zhou Shu's chaos didn't appear, but her own came.
β...... Miss Hatchell, are you here?" Ula saw the lace side coming towards her from a distance. She is now full of regrets, why didn't she stay in the dormitory honestly, and had to wander around the small flower bed outside.
Senior Sister An wore a long ponytail and switched her temperament from gentle to handsome. She immediately frowned when she heard this unfamiliar title, "Ula Mystery, why don't you call me An?"
Ulla said succinctly: "You are a non-commissioned officer, and I am an attendant. β
This posture of rejecting people thousands of miles away made Senior Sister An cry in her heart, but fortunately, she is also a woman who has been dumped twice by a woman, and she still has a certain ability to resist blows. And the purpose of her coming here this time is not just to pick up girls.
"Ula Mystery, please call Smith here, I have something to tell you both. is bad news. β
Smith was next to him, and he came by himself when he heard Sister An's words. Ula Mystery chatted with this woman for a few hours, and knew that this woman's personality was more serious, and said that there was bad news, and the Eight Achievements were really bad, so Ula Mystery took people back to the dormitory room to talk.
"Is this your room?" Senior Sister An looked around after coming in, she was entering the dormitory for the first time, and the layout was slightly different from the one she lived in.
Ula set up a chair for her to sit down, poured another glass of alcohol and handed it over.
"Oh, thanks. "Where's your bad news?"
Although the Ula riddle table xiΓ n has the due gift of host and guest, there is still resistance to this lace edge.
Senior Sister An held the cup and said with a regretful face: "I'm afraid that Smith, you are going to be in trouble recently, Wenbo Torch and Pavol are using their own forces to influence the non-commissioned officers and students, and they want to isolate you." "Isolation?
They believed that Smith had the intention of opening up his own power, and decided to unite to suppress him. β
Smith didn't think there was any trouble with this. "I don't care if I'm isolated. "This is the truth, the non-commissioned officer school is not an elementary school, and it doesn't matter if you don't have friends to accompany you for recess activities, lunch, and games.
"But your interpersonal relationships and future career ......"
After anything, Ula Mysteriously said that he had climbed up to the sick princess here, and even if he couldn't go back home, he didn't have to worry about his livelihood and social status to survive here.
Seeing that the two of them were calm and unmoved, Senior Sister An said worriedly: "I heard that it was Wen Bo Torch who took the initiative to find Pavol and proposed this isolation plan. If they do carry it out, then Smith you will not gain any personal relationships in these two years, and when you become an officer and go to war, there will be many constraints as a result. I trust your personal strength, but that doesn't make or break a battle. If your squad and the other team are besieged, the rescue team will definitely ignore you and save others. β
Smith was grateful to the woman in front of him for thinking so much about himself, he didn't think that far ahead. Wu Lami really wanted to tell Senior Sister SΓΉ An at this moment, I am afraid that these people will have to leave before they graduate, and they don't need to worry about this kind of thing. Senior Sister An suddenly grabbed Wu Lamy's hand and said to her affectionately: "But I will be on your side, if your team is surrounded, even if my team is on the other side of the battlefield, I will rush to save you as soon as possible!"
Ula mysteriously withdrew his hand from his senior sister's hand in embarrassment.
"I am Lilia's attendant, and Smith's attendant is Zhou Shu. "If you want to save him, you will save him.
Senior Sister An's upper limbs were at the cloud level, and she easily held those little hands in the palm of her hand again.
"Anyway, I'm on your side. If the Aarsian Secret will organize its own forces, then I will be the first to join!"
Knock knock, someone knocked on the dorm door. Ula was caught by Sister An, who knelt down on one knee like a prince and was in love, and couldn't move, so Smith went over to open the door.
The people who came were Nem and the gloomy lantern siblings.
"Yo, Adam. Nem said hello, looked at the scene of the woman kneeling down on one knee and said, "Why hasn't today's martial arts class started?
Smith nodded, "I'll come now." Then he turned around and went out, leaving the lonely senior sister and Ula Mystery in the room.
When they arrived at the small square in front of the dormitory, which had been used as a training ground, none of the non-commissioned officers and students of the fifth class who should have gathered in groups long ago were present except for Lilia. Instead, for the first time, Midali was here, standing in the shade of a tree boringly peeling nut shells for Lilia, as if feeding a squirrel.
Nemu pouted at the square and said, "Today you're going to open a few small stoves for us." The others listened to Pavol and the Duke's brother, and did not want to approach you again. β
Reluctant to approach? Is it necessary to give up what he has been studying so hard for the past few days? Smith only now finally grasped the meaning of the word 'isolation'. "They gave up kung fu study just because of a word from these two people?"
Nem felt that it hurt to tell him the truth. In the recent week, Smith devoted almost all of his personal time to teaching. Everyone can see that he likes to teach others to learn kung fu, and he is committed to it. Now my students are scattered because of the words of some people, which is too cruel.
Seeing that Smith was coming, Midali dropped the nuts in her hand and walked over with a smile. As he approached, he said loudly in a tone that he feared that the world would not be chaotic: "Adam Smith, if you want to organize your own forces, count me in! I will be the first to join! When you become a high-ranking officer in the future, it will be good to take care of my business more." She pronounced the line as if she were acting in a play, as if she was announcing something to others.
The red woman had clear ears and clear eyes, and knew that there must be Pavol and Winbo Torch nearby to inquire about the situation. She was happy to mix things up between the two, and the more chaotic the forces within the school, the more likely she was to benefit her legion.
Nemu smiled and said: "Brother and I of the lantern also mean the same thing, and we are willing to mix with you, so you have to hand over the ten-shaped fist you said to me, don't hide it." β
Of these, he was the one who admired and relied on Smith the most. Nemu had fully comprehended the method of using magic power to replace the aura of the martial artist to urge moves, and with his martial arts cultivation, Nem's combat power had doubled in just a few days. He was now confident that he would not lose to any of the non-commissioned officers and students in the school, including the geniuses in the second phase of the school.
The lantern brother and sister didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, agreeing with Nem's words.
At this time, Wu Lawei and Senior Sister An came out of the dormitory, and the two beauties came to Smith's side with different expressions.
Senior Sister An took advantage of some of Ulami's physical advantages in the room, and she was in a good mood with a smile on her face. "Smith, I support you, and if you want to design a badge of the institution, I can help. It's okay if you want me to join. "I'm going to take advantage of Zhou Shu's absence to conquer the Ula Mystery!
Lilia followed Midali's red figure, looking at Smith with a sincere expression. She had always been a little henchman, always following other people's butts, and if Smith really had the idea of organizing a clique, he would have come up without inviting her.
"Smith. Ula Mystery broke free of his senior sister's hand and patted his tall shoulder with difficulty as a comforting gesture, "That's good, let's decide." "During the period of Zhou Shu's absence, the Ula mystery was the equivalent of the queen ant in the anthill for the summons, and this class distinction was not something that Smith, a soldier ant, could cross. Of course, even if Zhou Shu is here, the Ula mystery is still the queen. Considering that there was at least a year left in this world, she simply helped her master make a decision, and tried to gather some strength to avoid the dangerous things that happened in the commercial exhibition hall before.
Smith nodded, and obeyed Ullamy's orders. He doesn't have the same ambition and sense of mission as Pavol and Wembo Torch, but he also has something he stands for.
"If it's a small circle, no problem. β
When everyone present heard this, they smiled with satisfaction one after another.
