Chapter Seventy-Six: Responsibility, Fifteen Years Ago
Everyone looked at the stele in amazement, dazed.
Tatsuno said, "It's okay, call the entrance, only he can open the mechanism of these stone tablets." ”
"Good!" Qingzhi nodded, "I'll inform the entrance." ”
The operator received the order and immediately dialed the phone.
Fortunately, there was no malfunction this time, and Qing Zhi said with a little excitement: "Brother Xuanguan, we have discovered the Xuanwu Temple." Tatsuno said that only you can open it, so please come over now! ”
The surprise was suppressed at the entrance, and he calmly replied: "Okay, I'll rush over immediately, but the waterfall settlement needs someone to watch here, you bring someone back." ”
"Yes!" Qing Zhi responded.
Waterfall settlement.
The entrance put down the phone, and his originally calm face became a little uncontrollable.
He touched his chest, feeling his heart beat faster.
Disturbed.
This emotion has not appeared on him for a long time.
Even when the guerrillas were on the verge of disbandment, he was only saddened, but never so disturbed.
It is a natural emotion in the face of the unknown.
The hallway took a deep breath.
Others may not have a clear concept of the ninth-order divine soul, they only feel that they are very powerful, so powerful that they cannot be looked up to.
But the entrance is clear that the ninth-order divine soul is an existence that is enough to shock the world and change the world.
Awakening the ninth-order divine soul is not only the strength of the entrance, but also the heaviness of the responsibility.
He managed a guerrilla army, a divine guard, and he did his best.
If he wants to become the inheritor of the power of the four elephants, the awakened person of the key divine soul in the Great Xia Gods, can he afford it?
"My entrance, is it worthy of this ninth-order Xuanwu Divine Soul?" The entrance muttered to himself.
His broad hand tightened and loosened, not knowing where to place it.
"Even if I'm not worthy, I can open the stele and let those who are truly worthy awaken."
Thinking silently, the entrance stood up and straightened his shirt in front of the broken mirror.
Dark green combat uniform, dark skin covered with scars, brown eyes, capable inches, and a heavy machete as wide as a foot on his back.
"You don't have to be so flustered, what is not yours is not yours, what is yours is yours." The entrance said to himself, "If fate chooses you, you will bear it, no matter what you do, do your best, and never give up." And so, that's it. ”
The words fell, and the chief of the entrance exhaled.
He turned, said a few words to the captain of the guard, and went on his way alone.
In the streets, women knitted clothes and chatted, and a few frolicking children ran merrily past.
In the cultivated fields, men wield hoes.
Farther away, the warriors of the Divine Guard hunted......
"Commander Xuan!" Someone saw the entrance and greeted them eagerly, "Where are you going?" ”
All eyes were on the people, full of respect and joy.
"Commander Xuan, this is the fish that my man forked yesterday!" A woman enthusiastically handed over a fish, "He said he must thank you, if you hadn't led everyone to build this stronghold, our family might have died in the woods!" ”
"Uncle Porch!" The children ran over with a light in their eyes.
The entrance kept smiling and waved his hand to decline the woman's kindness.
Most of these people were "sinners" who could not awaken their spirits, and were exiled from various cities to wilderness areas.
Without waterfall settlements, they either die or become slaves that can be traded.
Not to mention living and working here in peace, even living is a luxury.
Looking at the people, the entrance's heart, which was still a little apprehensive, suddenly settled down for no reason.
"Let's go back, everyone, I'll go on a mission." As he spoke, he saluted everyone, turned around, and hurried in the direction of the ruins of City 014.
He didn't look back, as if he was heading for a decisive battle.
People watched the entrance leave until they disappeared from view.
......
Fifteen years ago.
Wilderness area.
Immediately exiled to the point.
Heavy rain poured, lightning and thunder.
Truckloads of sinners arrived, and they were violently driven out of the trucks and gathered together in terror, looking at the dense forest around them, panicked and helpless.
Around them was a soldier of the Angelic Guards in a raincoat and a white uniform.
They were both Great Xia people and foreigners, and they looked at the sinners with cold faces, their eyes full of disdain.
"Report, this batch of exiled criminals is 1,500!" A soldier ran up to the squadron leader, saluted and said.
The squadron leader, who was held by the soldier with an umbrella, lit a cigarette and blew up wisps of white smoke in the rain.
He glanced at the sinners with a stubbled beard, and said indifferently, "According to the arrangement of the temple, will you send them here?" ”
"Yes, Squadron Leader!" The soldier replied, "This place is located fifty kilometers west of Yuehu City, and it has penetrated deep into the wilderness area, so it is not safe for us to stay here. ”
"Why exile, wouldn't it be better to be executed?" The squadron leader complained, "I have to go so far." ”
"Report Captain, exile is the mercy of the Angelic Temple towards sinners." The soldier Mumu said.
"You guy!" The squadron leader frowned, waved his hand, and motioned for him to leave quickly.
The soldier gave a military salute and turned to walk away.
The squadron leader took a few more puffs of his cigarette and prepared to give the order to withdraw.
Suddenly, a mercenary-looking figure appeared in his sight.
The mercenary said a few words to the soldier, and was led to the squadron leader.
The squadron leader looked the mercenary up and down.
The mercenary was pale, wearing a black robe, and there was a strange black shadow wriggling under the black robe, and there was a black spirit faintly in the center of his eyebrows.
"Hello, my name is Smith, an audit student at Yuehu University, and now the deputy head of the Ice Wolf Mercenary Regiment." The mercenary said hoarsely and held out his hand.
"Oh? Auditor of Yuehu University? With interest in his eyes, the squadron leader shook Smith's hand.
To be able to enter Yuehu University, the Divine Soul level is at least the fifth order, which is worthy of his respect.
"What are you doing?" The squadron leader asked.
"Our head wants to make a deal with you." Smith whispered, "These sinners, please lend us a hand." ”
"What's the usage?" The squadron leader squinted.
Smith whispered into the squadron leader's ear: "Our mercenary group has surrounded a demon's lair, and there are a lot of treasures in that lair, but the demons are very vigilant and will not come out easily. The head of the regiment wants to use these criminals as bait, and the demons will come out hungry. ”
"Whew!" The squadron leader flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said with interest, "Not a bad idea, but isn't this sacrificing others for the sake of killing demons?" ”
"They are the sinners of Great Xia, damn it." Smith said emotionlessly.
The squadron leader was silent, and he looked up at the gloomy canopy: "You're right, they really deserve to die, so what about my good?" ”
"Half of the treasure will be shared with you." Smith said.
"Deal." The squadron leader smiled, "But I won't help you get people over, this is the limit of what a big truck can travel." ”
"Of course, this will not bother you." Smith took out a black card from his arms, "This is half a million, it's a deposit, and there is no password imprint." ”
The squadron leader took the black card, put it on his nose and sniffed it, and waved his hand with satisfaction: "Take it away." ”
"Thank you, happy cooperation."
Smith walked over to the sinners, and all around, the mercenaries of the Ice Wolf Mercenary Regiment also walked over.
The Angelic Guards got into the truck, then turned and drove away.
The criminals saw these fierce-faced mercenaries, and leaned closer to each other.
"We'll take you to the settlement, which is a place for the guilty, and you'll be safe." Smith said in stiff Chinese.
"Really?" The guilty people looked surprised.
"Really." Smith smiled brightly.
