The sunset slowly fell, reaching the horizon, and the thick red mangs penetrated the sand and spread in the Tianshui capital. www.biquge.info The streets here are very wide, with neat three-story buildings on the side of the road, and when you walk through the city, you can occasionally see the magnificent and large, Naluo atmosphere of the building, one of which is the Dharma God Palace.

The palace of Tianshui Fashen Ningfang seems to be completely built in accordance with the classical style of the Naluo Kingdom, not as towering as the black devil, but the outline is neat, solemn and magnificent, the whole palace is supported by huge pillars, and the daughter wall under the eaves is printed with the myth of the heroic battle of the Dharma gods of the Hak Kingdom.

Lian Lu followed the maid into the palace, the floor was covered with a dark red carpet, and the interior was richly decorated. Lian Lu scoffed at this, and when he walked into Ning Fang's palace, it was as if he had entered the home of a Naluo nobleman, which reminded him of the rumor that Ning Fang was preparing to take refuge in Nano, so he was even more disgusted.

In the end, Lian Lu met the god of Tianshui in a narrow room. The layout of this room is very different from the style of the entire palace, simple and familiar, reminding Lian Lu of the picture of Saleng and Ning Fang living together many years ago.

Ning Fang seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Lian Lu, he just nodded and waved his hand to signal the maid to retreat.

He sat at an old wooden table, his voluminous robe even more emaciated, and in front of him was a bottle of Western spirits.

"You won, Lian Lu. ”

"If you drink, yes. ”

Lian Lu still had the same playful smile on his face, but it made Ning Fang frown, this kind of cold and disdainful smile did not belong to his old friend in the past, in more than ten years, Lian Lu's temperament has changed amazingly, but Ning Fang was not surprised, even sixteen years ago, he had never seen through this companion who got along day and night.

Lian Lu poured himself a full wine glass, raised it to Ning Fang, and saw that he didn't mean to clink glasses, so he drank it by himself.

"I'm not just talking about drinking, Lian Lu. ”

"Oh," Lian Lu knew what Ning Fang meant, "maybe not, if your Naluo National Rescue Army can arrive in time." ”

"What do you mean?"

"You surrendered to Naluo, won't the stingy royal family of Naluo send troops to rescue?"

"You're insulting me. ”

"You're insulting yourself. ”

Lian Lu put down his wine glass and lay on his back in his chair, like a hunter watching a fox fall into a trap.

"You have Mami, Salem has dark mercenaries, and I don't have anything, so I paid a huge price to acquire the weapon technology of the Naluo Kingdom. What do you mean when you say I'm surrendering to Naro?"

"So you didn't surrender?"

"Take a look at the frescoes outside the palace and you know that every Huck will never forget the humiliating history of the Naro people who drove us to the desert. ”

"I misunderstood you, it seems that you are also a person with affection and righteousness. ”

Ning Fang suddenly became angry, stood up suddenly, and overturned the table. Lian Lu took his wine glass from the overturned table between the lightning and flint, and tapped the carpet with his toes, and the wooden chair slid away with him, dodging the falling wine bottle.

"Lian Lu! You are not qualified to intercede with me! You killed Kong Zhilin, created artificial humans, and launched a war to slaughter your kind, and now you are proposing intercession with me? I would rather spend a lot of money to learn their advanced weapons and technology from the Naluo Kingdom, which is much better than you! You have transformed living human beings, implanted chips to forcibly control their thoughts and actions, do you think I don't know? In order to fight against you, Saleng has also mutated humans and demons, and you have completely lost your humanity! You can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me! I don't tell the world about it, I want to leave you the last dignity of survival, and now you want to play the trick of 'knowing and moving with reason' with me?"

The wine glass in Lian Lu's hand suddenly burst, he didn't control his strength, and the spicy wine spilled all over. He was expressionless as he watched the ruby crumbs fall on the carpet. After a while, he calmed down and shook his robe.

"Duel, Ning Fang. I know you've been waiting for this moment for a long time, I won't invoke the power of Blood Worship City, we're one-on-one, if you can kill me, you'll win. ”

"No need," Ning Fang sat back in his chair and sneered, "I've already lost, continuing to fight will only kill more Hack Mages, I'm not like you, Lian Lu, you can sacrifice everything to pursue your own ethereal dreams, and I'm just trying my best to maintain what I can see and touch." Seventeen years after the establishment of Tianshui City, I tried my best to let the people of Tianshui live a rich life, I learned the techniques of the Naluo Kingdom, and did not start a war, until you destroyed the black devil, I was angry and sent troops. But, you win. ”

"You're going to surrender? It's not like you. ”

"I hope you understand that I will never forgive you for killing the Empty Forest. But I already have a family, I have a son and a daughter, and I will not sacrifice the living for the sake of the dead. There is no need to fight anymore, if you win, I will leave here with my family, and the mages of Tianshui City will not resist, you can take over. ”

Lian Lu breathed deeply, as if he wanted to suck the whole world into his lungs, and slowly spit out with his sorrow.

"Ningfang, I need you, let's search for the Sword of Alex together, let's go back to the moment when we swore twenty years ago and swore together to 'give our lives for the future of mankind'. ”

"The Sword of Alex?" Ning Fang sneered, "It's ridiculous, what is that? an ancient prophecy that no one has ever seen? In my opinion, it's a joke, and you're a clown." It's just that you're an incompetent clown, and you put such a ridiculous plot into a humorous sense of immediacy. I'll ask you one last thing, what did you do to Salang?"

"I didn't touch him, though he just wanted to kill me and avenge the Empty Forest. ”

"Impossible! Salem's magic fluctuations have reached Tianshui City, and he is fighting to the death!"

"It's his human demon. His demons are out of control. ”

"Human demons?" Ning Fang was stunned for a moment, and then calmed down, "That is, he did it himself, you don't have to feel lucky, conduct ****** weapon research, and you will be the next to end up here." ”

"Lend you good words. ”

"What? Do you think your methods of coercing and controlling the thoughts and behaviors of androids are very safe? I know all the research you have done, Salem is using human emotions to control humans and demons, but failed, in my opinion, your methods are more dangerous than his, once the androids are out of control, and the repression that is like a machine slave explodes, it is absolutely necessary for you to look good. ”

Lian Lu shrugged his shoulders indifferently, his calm expression as if the order of the entire world was under his control.

"Until then, I'll make them disappear. ”

"Oh!" Ning Fang suddenly realized, "That's right, you killed so many people who others can't do anyway, naturally you won't spare the lives of a few androids, this is your style, just don't miscalculate the timing." ”

"Ning Fang, you seem to have many misunderstandings about me, in fact, our original intention is the same, I am still the same as before, and I have not changed. I hope that we can continue to work together, and for the future of humanity, I will let you know my plans, and perhaps this will allow us to trust each other. ”

"No need, I don't have any misunderstanding about you. ”

Ning Fang stood up, took out a gold pen and parchment from the wooden cabinet on one side, and wrote a letter of surrender casually, which was signed by Ning Fang, the god of water law the day before yesterday.

"I'm leaving, you can send someone to chase and kill. Out of this city, if I see you again, there will inevitably be a battle of life and death. ”

Lian Lu frowned and took the parchment full of handwriting.

Ning Fang pushed open the door and was confronted by a maid, almost colliding with him.

"I'm sorry, my lord!" the maid hurriedly saluted, "The Blood Worshipper has sent a letter saying that it will be handed over to the Blood Worship God. ”

Ning Fang nodded expressionlessly and left in a hurry. The maid was a little surprised, and the appearance of the Tianshui Law God made her a little worried. While she was stunned, Lian Lu had already stood up, took the letter in her hand, and stuffed the parchment to her.

"Give it to the herald, and you can take a look. ”

Lian Lu said as he tore open the envelope, and what caught his eye was Ziyan's familiar handwriting. There is only one sentence in the letter:

Lord Hoshin...... The Night Rite fled the city.

Lian Lu suddenly became furious and slammed his fist into the granite wall, and the entire stone wall collapsed in an instant.
