In October of the year 568 of the Altino calendar, the free city of Jerusalem

Until the end, Izumi Sakura couldn't figure out what the atomic light wire emitted by the Demon House was, and how did it repel Chires?

From the observation of the phenomenon, she could only confirm two things: first, Chirez did not catch up again, and second, it was not easy for the Demon House to launch this atomic light wire.

After the launch of the hot line, for a full hour and a half, the magic house seemed to have lost all power, all lighting and warmth energy was cut off, if it had not been for the gliding to stop the fall, then the magic house would probably fall straight to the ground, becoming a large piece of scrap iron slag.

After that, the Qinglou Alliance arranged a rest for the guests. Originally, flying at the limit speed of the magic house, you could reach Shangri-La within eighteen hours, but it was blocked by Chirez before, which consumed too much energy, and it was necessary to rely on wind gliding to fly, and the whole speed slowed down, and it was necessary to consider avoiding Chires's tracking, and it was estimated that it would take at least three days to reach Shangri-La.

"Hmm...... It's a bit disappointing, I originally thought that the Demon House would be stronger!As a result, it is not possible to deal with one Chires, if the enemy has multiple Heavenly Rank Martial Artists attacking together, won't this Demon House be immediately bombarded into a pile of scrap metal?"

Recovering a little, Niel said at dinner. Some time ago, he was sent by Reynes as an envoy, and when he received acting training in Tianxiangyuan, he lived in this magic house, and at that time, he watched the strange arrangement in the magic house every day, and admired it in his heart, but also secretly speculated how powerful the magic house was in actual combat.

This time, in response to the enemy's power, a blow injured Chirez, so that he could no longer pursue, such an effect, I am afraid that there are no masters in the world today, equipment can do it, and it really lives up to expectations;

From this point of view, although the "Shangri-La's Magic House" cannot be said to be a deception and a stealing name, it is very impossible to use it as a secret weapon, and it is very impossible to be reckless, and in Nier's heart, it is like a dream full of anticipation has been disillusioned.

"This is originally a house, not a weapon! The purpose of the house is to live in people, and the design direction should be composite, as the source of various technologies, if you only focus on power, isn't it putting the cart before the horse? And ......"

After a pause, Izumi Sakura smiled and said, "Well, I don't understand it very well, but the architectural concept of this magic house, I think it should not be for strength, but for the purpose of skill......"

Izumi Sakura didn't know alchemy, and she didn't have knowledge of the Ancient Demon Dao, but the experience of the last few battles had made her vaguely comprehend something. To be stronger than martial arts, there are probably few people in the human world who can be stronger than Qireis, although there are a few martial arts in the White Deer Cave that pay attention to overcoming rigidity with softness, but when martial arts are practiced to be as strong as Qireth and Senior Brother Gongjin, what kind of soft power can be restrained?

Even if there is, that kind of rigidity and softness are just the two extremes of the same strength, unless they practice to their kind of cultivation, like the Heavenly Sword King Five, it is possible to restrain the rigidity with softness, but for a while, their martial arts progress encounters a bottleneck, and it is impossible to suddenly advance by leaps and bounds, so when they encounter a strong enemy, what should they do?

When she escaped from Chires's men with the Heavenly Cloud Sword, Izumi Sakura faintly understood, and when she saw the Demon House's means of responding to the enemy, the fleeting concept became clearer and clearer.

There is no truly perfect thing in the world, no matter how strong things are, there are flaws, there are natural restraints, and even the strongest place hides fatal flaws. As long as the right tactics are used, it can produce the effect of four or two thousand dollars.

The strength of the Heavenly Demon Skill is unparalleled in the world, but the Heavenly Cloud Sword can have an elbow-controlling effect on the Demon Race, and the Demon House uses the power of the Deep Blue Demon King to shake the Heavenly Demon Power from the most fundamental place. Of course, without the power of the dragon god, the dragon qi alone would not affect a master like Chirez, and if there was no blow from the magic house with all its energy, Nier's dark blue judgment would only be broken by Chireth frowning and casually.

Without considerable strength, no matter how clever things are, they can't be exerted, but in another direction, with more ingenuity in addition to strength, you can defeat powerful enemies with a small amount of strength, and avoid rigid thinking and deadlocks. Perhaps, the predecessors who designed this magic house back then did not want the successors of thousands of years to fall into the myth of relying on powerful weapons in vain, so they deliberately abandoned the route of developing to the ancient magic road and passed on their thoughts through the magic house.

Izumi Sakura explained her thoughts slightly, Kaede nodded, and began to think about something, although Nier didn't answer, Izumi Sakura was still very relieved, because being able to eat and talk so peacefully was already a lot better than expected.

"The chef of the Qinglou Alliance is very skillful, and although he is flying in the sky, the food is still very delicious! However, where has Youxue-sama gone? I wonder what his dinner is?"

Among the group, Youxue was led away by the maids with a smile because she salivated and expressed her hope to receive special treatment. Feng'er was really a little worried about whether Youxue would do something bad to damage Reyns's reputation, and no matter what, he also had the halo of the prime minister on his head.

However, Niel didn't take this seriously, and frowned: "Don't worry about this kind of thing! I just took care of him, his cuisine is more advanced than ours, and he is soaking in the hot springs on the one hand, and dining with beautiful women on the other, and he is so happy that he will go to heaven." ”

The words that Nier said are also a portrayal of Youxue's situation at the moment. In the hot spring pond, there is snow soaking comfortably in it, and on the left and right sides there is a half-naked girl wearing only a thin swimsuit, with a youthful and toned tóng body, clinging to him, and there are three gorgeous swimsuit girls in front of him, pouring wine and picking sweet and juicy grapes and sending them to his mouth.

"Wow, Youxue-sama is so handsome and muscular......"

"I heard that you are the Prime Minister of Reyns, aren't you?

"President of Heaven and Earth, can you tell us some of your heroic deeds?

The warbler and the swallow, the soft whispering, the fragrant and exciting scene makes people envious. It's a pity that there is a small flaw that makes it impossible for you to enjoy the snow.

"Uh...... Belch...... Oh......"

Sealed in the acupuncture channel, soaked in the hot spring pool, although there is no obstacle to hearing and touching, he can clearly feel the smoothness of the girl's skin friction and the deliciousness of the wine, but he can't move, he can't do anything, let alone reach out to take advantage of some of the things sent to the door, even if he opens his mouth to eat grapes, he has to ask someone to pry his mouth open, push his chin up and down, and help bite it.

"Wow, you look so handsome when you have Lord Snow eating, so wise and martial!"

"It's really worthy of being the prime minister of a country, and even eating is so manly, it's really fascinating. ”

The honey whispering, the gentle and skillful massage, makes people quickly get rid of fatigue and full of energy, but the whole body is full of energy and snow, but he can only have red eyes, as if he is locked in a soul cage.

(You women without conscience...... As long as I can move, I want you to look good another day...... ）

※※※

"From the standpoint of the residents of Free City, I must say thank you to a few people, because this cataclysm of Free City will finally implicate you, and it must be solved with the help of Reyns. ”

The owner of the demon house thanked Izumi Sakura and the other three cautiously, and the reason for the thank you had been explained not long ago.

The battle between Gong Jin and Wang Wu, the incomparably vast energy surge, coupled with the launch of the Tongtian Cannon, caused great damage to the entire free city, Rao is the ability of the Qinglou Alliance, unless he requests other support from the headquarters, he can't settle these great changes in heaven and earth that I don't know how many years will last, and based on the principle of non-interference between the four continents, even if a request is made, most of them will not get a response, not to mention the current Chiba Stream on the Wind Continent, which is in a chaotic state of power struggle.

As a result, in the end, it was Reyns's Wizard Guild that stepped forward. This organization, which has not given people much sense of existence since entering the era of celestial positioning, played a great role in this catastrophe, sending three groups of elites, each group of 200 magic masters, to the northwest, central, and southeast of the free city, from the north gate Tianguan to the southeast coast, drawing a barrier line that is thousands of miles away.

The current president of the Demon Guild, Cang Yuecao, Elder Merlin Green, and the former Queen Mother of the West, Jade Signature Fenghua, led the Magus at the three enchantment points to channel the chaotic Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi back to nature, remove the source of this series of natural disasters, and prevent the disasters from continuing to occur.

"Because he understood how important what they were doing, even Zhou Gongjin personally ordered the suspension of war relations with Reins, and all soldiers and civilians stayed away from the radius of their magic array, giving them all the assistance they needed, and those who tried to harass them would be killed!"

This order may seem strange, but it has a reason to do it. If the catastrophe is allowed to last for a few months, the Free City will only become a terrifying environment like purgatory, although Gong Jin can throw this to Shi Chong at that time, but at least for the time being, the Second Army is still stationed in the Free City, if the catastrophe continues, I don't know how many people will be able to leave this place alive at that time.

"Wait...... Looks like there's someone missing, right? That's called Hua ...... What a crow ghost woman. ”

Nier didn't have a good impression of the black-skinned and black-robed cold-blooded witch, and had always had a respectful attitude, compared to the grass that floated around all day long, this woman with a cold aura all over her body was undoubtedly more like a wizard. Listening to the tone of my brother and Gengoro with a sense of fear at that time, this woman's magic cultivation should be quite difficult, why didn't she let her go out this time?

"This ...... It is not enough for outsiders. ”

The lady behind the bead curtain was vague, the feeling of this sentence in her ears made the three girls inexplicable, no matter what, Hua Bian Que is currently employed by Reins, not under the command of the Qinglou Alliance, and there is no reason to be regarded as his own person by the Qinglou Alliance, this sentence is not an outsider, what does it mean?

The meaning of this sentence was not understood until later. At that time, before Xiaocao was ready to leave Jixia, as the chairman of the Demon Guild, he entrusted Hua Bian Que to assist, with her help, he could calm the disorder of the vitality of heaven and earth earlier and eliminate the catastrophe, but this request was rejected by Hua Bian Que

"Why refuse? If the catastrophe in the Free City lasts for one more day, it may cause hundreds of thousands of more deaths and injuries!" Xiaocao asked puzzled.

"Yes, as long as it takes one day, it can cause hundreds of thousands of more deaths and injuries, such a good opportunity, you actually want me to end this golden period early, as the director of the Dark Wizard Research Institute, I respect you as the chairman and employer, and I won't put you behind your back a five-pole heavenly style, but your request, I will not do it." ”

For the necromantic vein in black magic, the large number of deaths and injuries caused by natural and man-made disasters is a great opportunity to obtain research materials, not to mention that this time it is not affected by man-made disasters, the death is purely a natural disaster, and there is no moral and political responsibility.

When Xiaocao recruited Hua Bianque into Reins, she set up a "Dark Magic Research Institute", which was the same rank as the Taiyan Academy, hired Hua Bianque as the dean, and stated that she had absolute freedom of research and decision-making, as long as she didn't wantonly search for experimental materials in Jixia City, and don't poison the water source indiscriminately to do experiments, the rest of the things could be turned a blind eye and a closed eye, so when Hua Bianque resisted this order, Xiaocao had nothing else to say except a wry smile

"She's right, as long as you don't send a slap on the Spike Moon behind my back, I'm thankful, the world can't go as planned, so be it......"

Although Xiaocao said so, there is no glory in this matter, and if it is spread, it will be greatly harmful to Reynes's image, so it is kept secret, but how can this level of secret be hidden from Qinglou's ears and eyes?

What I didn't mean was that the lady was vaguely saying that "this disgraceful scandal should not be told by outsiders", but, at least at this moment, Izumi Sakura and the others had not guessed the meaning of this sentence.

After that, the lady provided information on the situation, which was the most lacking part of the three of Izumi Sakura at the moment. The distribution of the Second Army's troops, the state of its supplies, and the analysis of these materials by the staff in the Demon House were all compiled into a stack of documents and handed over.

From these materials and data, Quan Ying can see many things, including speculation about Gong Jin's intentions, especially the relationship between him and Shi Chong, after the first battle in Jerusalem, whether the two sides are still working together, or there has been a rift, Shi Chong has planned to take advantage of Gong Jin's serious injury at this moment, to kill the enemy in one fell swoop, these things Quan Ying wants to know.

"As you know, for safety, Michael dismantled the power part of the Babel Cannon before the war began, and teleported it to Shangri-La, which was supposed to be stored in the Demon House, but unfortunately...... was intercepted by Shi Chong halfway and is currently falling into his hands. ”

Hearing this, Nell suddenly remembered Michael's expression before the decisive battle of Jerusalem. She would rather gamble on the survival of Jerusalem than recreate the Babel Cannon, and her deep scruples are that once the Babel Cannon is thrown into the battlefield by careerists, as long as it is used a few more times, the Continent of Wind will be shattered and cease to exist, right?

The mission of the clergy is to sacrifice oneself and help the people of the world, so how can there be any reason to put the world in danger for the sake of their own safety? Michael did try to fulfill her responsibility, but it is a pity that people's greed and ambition made her last effort come to naught.

"Godsister, Shi Chong and the Iron Mask Shemale are fundamentally in the same group, the thing is in Shi Chong's hands, and it will soon be passed on to the Iron Mask Lady, to put it bluntly, should we go and assassinate the Iron ...... right away Well, assassinate Shi Chong. ”

"Heh, you didn't say that you were going to assassinate Zhou Gongjin, which proves that you still have at least a little sense, but Shi Chong is not something that can be killed casually, from a certain point of view, it is more difficult to assassinate him than to assassinate Zhou Gongjin...... For now, our strength is too weak to take the initiative to attack. ”

Although I am somewhat unconvinced, the reality in front of me is so. In the battle of Jerusalem, Zhou Gongjin's momentum was shocking, even Wang Wu defeated him, his strength is known as the first in the continent of today's wind, and he has mastered the world-destroying weapon of the Tongtian Cannon, if it weren't for his broken arm, serious injury, and energy crisis, it has become the biggest flaw at present, Quan Ying can't even think of how to deal with this senior brother.

Of course, Shi Chong's martial arts can't be compared with Gong Jin, but Shi Chong is scheming, and he must have other precautions for the dark means of assassination.

"The information you have discovered is that Shi Chong and Zhou Gongjin have an agreement that the two sides will exchange machinery and design drawings, so the most beneficial way is to grab the design drawings and then destroy the machinery, if it goes well, this potential threat can be eliminated before it has time to surface. ”

Compared with a direct life-and-death duel, just stealing and sabotage, the difficulty is naturally greatly reduced, Izumi Sakura and the others have no reason to refuse, but now Shangri-La is heavily guarded, how to sneak in, is another problem.

"Shangri-La is about to hold a martial arts festival, and it will become complicated for the people to enter and exit, you should take this opportunity to blend in, it should be no problem, but there is an auxiliary strategy, I believe it will be more effective, even Shi Chong, will come out to greet you in person. ”

"Can Shi Chong come out to greet you?" Godsister, what method are you so powerful?"

"Well, although I would love to say that this is a pawn that has been in ambush for a long time, but in fact it was just an accident, and I didn't expect it to turn out like this...... To put it simply, if the three of you are mixed in, although you can successfully enter, you will not be able to move freely, however, if you let the super popular idol Leng Mengxue enter Shangri-La, the situation will be different. ”
