El Tieno calendar 568 December free city Shangri-La

None of the people on the surface wanted to know the adventure of Prime Minister Reins in the underground of Shangri-La, and the secret he knew was still unknown to the people, although the serious significance of this secret may cause another change in the Wind Continent in the near future, but at least at this time, the focus of people's attention is only on the disgraceful battle for parts a day and a half later.

Compared with the offensive and defensive significance of this battle, even the confrontation between the two countries that is taking place in the territory of Eltino seems to be dim, whether it is Reins or Shi Chong's camp, both sides only regard the secrets under the ground as the number one target, and they don't care about the Reyns army advancing in both the DPRK and the Altino army, which is waiting for the battle, when they go head-to-head, who is slightly better.

There may be another war that has been overlooked. In the pure sense of war, this war may be more important than all the battles that took place at the same time, the location of the battlefield, the largest port capital in the northwest of the Wind Continent, The Hague, is currently being invaded by an army of 100,000 pirates, burned and looted, and the Second Army, which was originally responsible for defending this place, is still in the midst of a rapid march back to its hometown, and it is estimated that it will officially contact the enemy army in two days.

At first glance, all kinds of disturbing struggles are like one fire after another, constantly igniting and bubbling up all over the Wind Continent, attracting people's attention, so that they can't notice the flames lurking underground for a while, including Shangri-La, and ...... Jerusalem.

Even if all the defenders have withdrawn, the major powers will not forget that the man who can be called "the most dangerous human being" is currently hiding under Jerusalem, and it is not known what is going on, although all the forces have tried to send spies to investigate the situation under Jerusalem, but what they can get is really not good news.

Since Gongjin was not out of retreat, none of the spies sent by the major forces have survived so far. To be correct, as long as they try to enter through the crack in the ground, the staff who try to detect the actual state of the underground will never come up after going down, and the remote detection of the Magister shows that there is no sign of human life underneath.

To kill these people, it is impossible for Gong Jin to personally take action, according to this idea, that is, Gong Jin activated some protective devices, so that some unknown types of "guards" were guarded underground. In fact, if it is said that there is a large ruin of the Ancient Demon Dao underground, it is simply easy for Gong Jin, who controls its control center, to release some mechanical creatures to guard against it, and Reyns and his party, who have had combat experience with him, know as soon as they hear it that it must be the "Blue Scarf Force" that troubled Izumi Sakura and others before.

Everyone knows that the situation under Jerusalem is very important, but there are too many facts that happened at the same time, and even the coastal zone of the Free City has recently begun to change the sky, and the major powers are too busy to care about the situation in Jerusalem.

Despite this, the Ancient Demon Dao equipment in Jerusalem's underground continued to operate. In the core trench of the huge ruins, under the hundreds of spheres named stars, in the main "star" that controls the entire ruins, an electronic voice of a tablet is slowly speaking.

"The 9,472nd simulated battle is over, three minutes and nine seconds more than the scheduled time, and the error is within 0.03%, and the third program of the Purgatory Dao is complete. Warning, based on the user's condition, it is extremely not recommended to open the fourth program. ”

At this point, the voice was abruptly interrupted, because the operator, who had already understood what the system was going to say, did not need to listen to these things that were wasting his time.

A hatch opened quickly, and at first, the cold air that was enough to make the living instantly freeze into ice corpses erupted, and in contact with the room temperature air, it turned into bursts of dense white mist, covering the entire space, and then, a slender but powerful body appeared in the white mist, and with his first breath in these forty-eight hours, the surrounding white mist was slowly dispersed.

When Gong Jin opened his eyes, what he actually saw, except for a foggy white scene, was a large blood stain on his clothes, which was disappearing rapidly. The stiff touch on his skin told him that the machine was using some kind of technique, like thousands of previous treatments, to quickly stop the bleeding and heal some of the superficial flesh wounds.

Gong Jin didn't understand what principle this technology relied on, but for him, as long as the machine could continue to operate, it would be enough. From a technical point of view, the cabin behind him should be more advanced than the rumored simulation system of the white word family, because that system is completely simulated with brainwaves, but the cabin that he has used these days, in addition to brainwave virtualization, has been further strengthened.

When the program of the Purgatory Road is opened, a realistic space will be formed in the cabin, and through the promotion of powerful energy, the form of the enemy will be created for actual combat training. Although there is still a slight discrepancy between this virtual enemy and reality, Gong Jin is convinced that this kind of actual combat is far more effective than a simple brainwave virtual operation, and it can also help him adjust the situation.

Because when the program is activated, an energy force field will be formed around it, although a strong heavenly battle is breaking out inside, the impact power is mostly blocked, and this place is buried deep underground, unless it is scanned and measured with a precision instrument, the slightest shaking cannot be felt on the ground. After all, the original design intention of this place was to hope to be able to hide and cultivate for a long time, and wait until there is a breakthrough in strength before going out to fight, if it is discovered by the enemy during the practice stage, then there is no point in hiding.

However, the burden on the flesh tǐ is far heavier than that of a simple brainwave simulation, especially when the actual injury is being injured. But Gong Jin had already gained comprehension in the battle with Wang Wu, and understood that when he forced his nerves into a thin line like a steel cable, his whole mind would be concentrated like never before, like a sharp and sharp knife, and the results obtained by practicing at that time were almost leaps and bounds of self-improvement.

This kind of self-training is extremely risky, and it is very likely that he will die before he can get out of school, otherwise the program does not have to be named "The Way of Purgatory", but Gong Jin insisted that if he can't withstand this kind of training, it will be even more impossible to face those strong enemies outside, and it is better to die here than to die in shame at the hands of the enemy.

With such a strong insistence, coupled with another special reason, Gong Jin has gone all out in almost every mock battle, and even sacrificed his life to fight so far.

"It's a pity...... If it weren't for the trauma that Wang Wu gave me, this practice could have lasted a little longer......"

It was a pity for Gong Jin to have to go out early, but he himself knew that even if he continued to hold on and complete 10,000 actual battles, he would not be able to break through to the fourth program of the Purgatory Dao. The current cultivation is already the maximum range that one's own flesh tǐ can carry.

When the cold white fog gradually dissipated, Gong Jin was sitting cross-legged in the center of the command room again, dozens of floating electronic light curtains, quickly running out all kinds of data, telling Gong Jin the dynamics of all directions on the ground, among which the changes in the heaven and earth vitality of the major cities attracted Gong Jin's attention the most, and also made him aware that something unusual was happening underneath Shangri-La.

"This number...... The three magic array enchantments are about to collapse, but if the Magic Guild withdraws so early, the power of this Jinao Island ruin alone will not be enough to complete the plan. ”

There was no one to discuss, Gong Jin could only think to himself, his eyes were fixed on an electronic screen in the upper right corner, the information and pictures displayed in it were the northeast of the Wind Continent, the open sea of Reins Tiren, and it was also the most important part of Gong Jin's plan.

In the lower right corner of the screen, there is a line of rapidly counting down numbers, showing how long it will be before the system will be officially operational, whether the current accumulation of heaven and earth vitality is enough to support the operation of the system, and so on. All the equipment on the ruins of this Jinao Island is based on the energy of heaven and earth to maintain its operation.

In the past, Gong Jin had also read in the classics that the underground of Shangri-La and Jerusalem respectively buried important devices that could affect the vitality of heaven and earth, but the underground palace of Shangri-La was a facility left by the gods, and the ruins of Jerusalem were the results of the ancient magic technology.

Looking at the ultra-precise design of the Tongtian Cannon, as well as the ruins of this city called "Jinao Island", it is not difficult to imagine the prosperity of the past, using the vitality of heaven and earth as the energy source of all facilities, and developing an unprecedented and glorious civilization. However, according to the classical records, the people who manipulated this civilization endlessly abused the vitality of heaven and earth, because they were too satisfied with their own achievements, they lost their humility, not only boasted to the gods, but even thought of themselves as gods, and finally brought about their own destruction in the battle between them.

“...... The abuse of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi for military purposes sounds like a portrayal of the present, hum, there is not much difference between people in ancient times and now, hundreds of millions of years have passed, and people don't seem to have learned any lessons...... Or is it impossible to learn anything as long as it is still humans who control civilization?"

may be because of the lonely relationship, Gong Jin, who has always been pragmatic, rarely sighs. However, using these machines that are far beyond today's technological level, and operating the heavenly cannon that is enough to destroy the world, Gong Jin is indeed sad.

Billions of years later, these weapons are still in operation, and they still have incredible power, but the people who designed these weapons and relied on their power to conquer or protect themselves have disappeared in the torrent of time.

And if it was the civilization hundreds of millions of years ago that people abused the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi weapons to wage war and bombard each other, then today, are the many warriors and magicians who use the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to fight against each other?

To break this meaningless sadness, a bell suddenly sounded next to it, and a message had just finally been sent back to something that had been specially set up to search.

“...... The location...... South-East ...... Sure enough, Michael was so thoughtful that he was almost deceived by her......"

The stakes are so great that they can't be handed over to Cangjin Lux to do, Zhu Yan and Hao Kelian have not returned so far, and there is no other manpower to call on their side, let alone leave Jinao Island at this juncture, so the only feasible way is ......

Just as he was thinking about it, half of Gong Jin's face wearing a metal mask suddenly ached, and when he reached out to cover his cheeks, the white mist in front of him seemed to change, gradually condensing into a delicate female figure.

Since the retreat and hard training here, this phenomenon has begun to appear, and I don't know whether it is a ghost appearing, or just a simple illusion of the mind and demons, in short, whenever I finish the actual combat training and the injury is so serious that I am a little unconscious, the face under the mask will throb inexplicably, and then I will see such an illusion.

It will definitely make people laugh when they say it, but they are looking forward to such a dream, so they do not hesitate to risk their lives in the simulation battle, because only when they temporarily cross the line of life and death, can they see the person who is no longer alive in this trance space.

“...... You're here, Your Highness the Princess......"

No one else can tell Gong Jin whether what he sees in front of him is illusory or real, and of course he doesn't need it. As long as you can still see and feel the phantom moment in front of you one more time, it is a great happiness.

The image gradually became clearer, and standing in front of Gong Jin was a long-haired girl with a sweet smile. It may be a little inappropriate to say that she is a girl, because this sweet and lovely child, with a smile on her face with a little childishness, seems to be much younger than her actual age, and her size is even more petite and pretty.

“...... I finally saw you again, although I don't know how you are now, but as long as you are still so happy, I am relieved. ”

The girl smiled and shook her head, her right hand on her throat, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't make a sound, just the pair of crystal eyes that conveyed concern, telling her concern.

"I don't think I'm too reluctant, it's just what I should do, I promised you that I would protect your favorite Eltinor, and I will keep this promise and I will never let you down. ”

Gong Jin's voice was very soft, not at all as cold and hard as usual, but the girl who listened to him was still shaking her head, and her smile gradually added a layer of compassion from the original joy, and she looked at this man she once loved with some sadness.

"What I'm doing now, and what I'm going to do in the near future, I know you may not like it, but please also understand that neither the enemy nor I have come to this point and there is no going back. ”

The girl shook her head, indicating her disapproval, although she kept trying to say something, but she was never able to make her beautiful sound, but after several successive silences, the small hand that lightly covered the snow neck gradually became stained with a trace of red stains.

If there's anything wrong with this dream, it's this moment. No matter how many times they met, Gong Jin could no longer hear her voice, in the past, her light and pure singing voice always aroused his feelings so easily, and now, even in the illusion of illusion, it is difficult for him to re-hear the beautiful voice in his memory.

And Gong Jin even understood why she couldn't hear her voice. Maybe you can pretend to forget, but the sins that have been borne on your body always turn over and over again the mud at the bottom of your memory. When those sad images flashed in his mind, this invincible iron handsome man who was commanding on the battlefield couldn't help but hang down his self-esteem and pride.

“...... Woo...... Woo...... I ......"

Constantly trying, from a shallow whine, into a vague whisper, looking at Gong Jin's hanging head, the girl stepped forward, opened her arms, and wanted to hug him who had returned from the battlefield as before, patting him gently, doing a blessing ceremony that only the two of them knew.

But when she opened her arms and embraced the sturdy body that could almost only be described as cold, a thin line of bright vermilion quickly bloomed in her tender throat.

The warm liquid dripped on Gong Jin's hair and shoulders, and with the faint smell of blood suddenly thickened, like a torrential rain on his body, Gong Jin knew that this meeting was about to end, and before the reunion could be indefinite, he had a word he wanted to tell his wife who hugged him.

“...... Little Joe, I miss you so much. ”

※※※

"Great, this thing has finally been delivered, and I've been worried that this thing won't be delivered before tomorrow!"

"Didn't this thing be buried in the ground of Shangri-La along with Youxue? Where did you get it?"

"Miss Niel doesn't know, when Long Beethoven made four golden statues, the one that fell under the hands of the fourth is only one of them, if you find any of the other three, it should have a similar function, and it happens that I know the whereabouts of one of them, so ...... It's cheaper. ”

Gengoro shrugged and smiled, but as usual, he didn't tell Nile the most regrettable part of the matter. There is snow cheap, but it makes a group of Sheters unlucky, Merlin is a step late after all, otherwise it should be possible to reduce some casualties.

Youxue's agreement was a day and a half later, and Gengoro considered not coming according to the agreement, but after thinking about it, with his understanding of the Xuete people, he always felt that Youxue's agreement was not so simple, maybe he had some other plans, and he should try to believe him once.

"You're going to bet your chances on the Sheters, I don't care about that!, anyway, when the matter is settled, we're going to Eltino at once. The war between the two countries actually started under such circumstances, and it was really chaotic. ”

"Oh, I think you don't want to be involved in such a big war, right?"

The irony of Nier is Hai Jiaxuan, when the Reyns army officially invaded Al Tino, Hai Jiaxuan, who learned about this, looked very strange, but after several times he wanted to speak and stopped, he no longer expressed his opinion on this matter, and later, he was completely like an outsider, not caring about this major event, but paying attention to the changes in the world of the free city.

"What else is there to say about this? It must be because of the iron-masked demon who is buried in the ground and is constantly angry, and what kind of trickery is being used, so the natural changes in the Free City will be so powerful, and when the matter here is over, I will immediately go and do him, let him be buried in the ground forever, and die so that he can no longer die. ”

Keeping in mind the humiliation of the previous defeat, Nier, who is now greatly strengthened, is full of confidence in herself, and also lists Gongjin as one of the strong enemies to kill. Hai Jiaxuan, who didn't understand Nier's psychology, just sneered lightly: "After the matter is over, you have to go to Altino to assist in the battle, and you have to bury the iron-masked demon forever, you are really the number one busy person in the sky!"

Of course, Hai Jiaxuan also understood that the abnormal change of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was absolutely inseparable from Gong Jin, however, he felt that things were not so simple, and there were some changes that he didn't know were happening.

Up to this moment, Mei Lin has not conveyed to Shangri-La the matter of the chaos of heaven and earth and the severance of contact with Xiaocao, and the discovery of Youxue in the underground palace has not yet been known to everyone, both friends and foes, in complete ignorance, facing the changes after a day and a half.
