"Since a few years ago, the Twelve Lords have existed in name only, and now that I think about it, it probably has something to do with the clarity of the Brotherhood's power...... Let's stop talking about it, it will cause unpleasant memories." Asai said.

"Well, I'm sorry. We should be moving fast on the big kui, how long will it take to reach the north shore of Yunmengze?" Jonah sensed his partner's depression and quickly changed the subject.

The Oriental thought for a moment: "At the present pace, we will be able to reach the shallow waters tomorrow afternoon, and from there we will continue on foot, and we will reach the shore in about two more days." I calculated, we basically didn't have any delay along the way, if the Long family made a detour to the Qin State from the land to the Long family's mansion, then we could almost arrive at the same time as them. ”

"That's great!" Jonah said, suddenly stunned, looking a little embarrassed: "If we really get to the Dragon family, what should we do?" I mean......"

"Ahh Asai waved his hand irritably.

“...... Which meat do you think tastes the best?" whispered the astrologer.

"Speaking of this topic, it is necessary to involve a lot of knowledge, from the point of view of the texture structure of the meat, the ideal is of course the legendary 'Jewel Meat', the northern continent weighs 20,000 pounds of the giant Momont Monster vertebrae between the seventh and eighth sections of the heart-shaped piece of meat is the dream ingredient of the entire culinary world, it has a marble-like beautiful texture, the muscles permeated with fat patterns show a translucent extraordinary color in the sun, more attractive than the world's most shining gemstones...... Just talking about it makes people feel moved...... However, in terms of taste alone, there are two or three kinds of meat that can be cooked to the same or even higher level than the meat of the jewels, and the first one ......" The Oriental sat up and began to discuss the subject of food with great interest.

Jonah couldn't help but agree, and he couldn't interject into these advanced topics anyway, and gradually his eyelids began to fight up and down, and he didn't know when he sank into sleep again.

“...... So, after talking about the thirty-seventh method of heating creamy mushroom soup, you can roughly understand why the taste of Western food deteriorates quickly when it is cold, so you should have learned something, Brother Jona?" After a few hours, Assai's speech finally came to an end. "Well, yes, thank you, Assai!" replied Jonadori, eyes wide open.

"He is worthy of Brother Jonah, who is tireless in learning and has a great future. The Oriental raised his thumb and was suddenly stunned: "Ah, it's dawn!"

When he woke up, the astrologer smiled shyly just in time to hear the end.

At the beginning of the morning, Dakui surfaced and continued to hurry, swimming out of the deep water of Yunmengze in the afternoon, and from here, the blue dragon grass reappeared, proving that it could not continue to move forward. The three men jumped off the back of the giant beast, waved goodbye to the hard-working car, and Dakui raised the bull's head high and let out a sad "moo" cry, spewing out two overwhelming jets of water. This time, Jonah and Long Shenlu had already taken precautions, and even the corners of their clothes did not get wet, but Asai stood still, allowing the heavy rain to drench himself to a wet body.

"Then leave it at that, man. He held his head high and said, "I don't know if there's a chance to see you again." ”

"Moo......" Dakui slowly sank into the water, two huge eyes floating on the water, looking at his former master with tears in his eyes.

"Don't see you again. Asai said, waving his hand, turning and walking away. The water column fell from his body in a tick, and before he could fall into the lake, he was chopped by the invisible fighting qi in the air, turning into a steam-like white cloud. "Whoosh......" The King of Assassins walked out of the white mist, the wind blowing his braids, and the traces of water on his body had disappeared without a trace, "Let's go, hurry up before dark." He said with a calm expression.

"Your power...... Recovered, great, Assai!" Jonah saw that this was not an ordinary magic trick, but a casual manifestation of absolute strength.

The Oriental smiled: "The upward period is coming to an end, and it is about to reach its peak." It's always up and down like this, and I'm used to it, but it's more convenient. Xiaolong, what are you doing so stunned? Let's go!"

"Yes, yes, Lord Long Chang, senior Yona......" Long Shenlan hurriedly agreed, keeping up with the pace of the two, what he didn't dare to say was that the water column that Dakui finally spewed out dispersed the colorful miasma, allowing a ray of sunlight to be projected on the gray water surface of Yunmengze, the golden sunlight in this bleak world is a farewell gift that the giant beast wants to give to its master. The miasma rolled and closed, and the light slowly dissipated, changing the neon hue in the air.

"It's a good guy. I said Dakui. Jonah said.

"I'm still young, and when I reach 400 years old, I'm much more relieved. Asai said.

The rest of the journey went quite smoothly, the Tagu monsters did not come out to make trouble again, and none of the group fell into the bottomless swamp, and the dragon grass guided them all the way north, the only trouble for Jonah was that Asai always joked about the food, and what was even more distressing was that he was fooled again and again.

At noon the next day, a line of undulating silhouettes faintly appeared in the distance, accustomed to seeing the monotonous gray water, and the silhouette of the black mountains could not escape the eyes of the three travelers. "Land!" Jonah jumped up excitedly, raising his right hand high.

"We've been on land, to be exact, Brother Jonah. Asai corrected, but couldn't help but grin the corners of his mouth, revealing a bright smile with white teeth.

There is a folk proverb in the Oriental continent that "looking at the mountains and running dead horses", this sentence is not false at all, until the evening The long-awaited land still did not appear, and several people had to camp again for the night. On the third day, at dawn he set out and continued his journey, until one o'clock in the afternoon, when he finally set foot on the solid ground, and the distant mountains still appeared in the sky, and the devil knows how far away.

On the northern shore of Yunmengze is a moist black land, and because the lake lacks the necessary nutrients, it is desolate even in the spring when everything happens. But it's a wonderful feeling to finally be able to pull your boots out of the water and step on top of the soil. "Great!" Jonah jumped a few times hard, taking off his boots to pour out the water inside, "Sure enough, it's better on land!

"If everything hasn't changed, twenty miles ahead from here, there will be a post road of the Liang Sui Kingdom, and one hundred and seven miles north along the post road will reach Pingyin, the 'Black City', and fifteen miles outside Pingyin City will be the tower 'Tianxuan' and the Long family's mansion. In the past, if you walked up to the post road, you could see the Tower of Babel from afar, but if you went in that direction, it was not enough since that day...... Maybe I won't be able to see it, right?--I haven't been back to the Eastern Continent for too long, so maybe something will change. Who knows. Asai said with a look of nostalgia.

Jonah said, "The little dragon should know what's going on nearby,...... Little Dragon?"

A black shadow swished in front of him, and Long Shen's face was red and oozing with sweat, "Senior Jona, Lord Long Chang is right, it's not far away." ”

The astrologer knew that he was excited after stepping on the land, and went out to run around twice with the light body method of "lame dragon", and couldn't help but laugh in his heart that although this foreign envoy of the Long family had a stubborn and strong personality, he was still a teenager who had not grown up after all, and he didn't break it at the moment, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go." ”

Long Shenlu led the way in front and introduced with a little excitement: "I have seen the map of the Liang Sui Kingdom, and there is the first post station not far ahead here, and if you are lucky, you can take a carriage there." ”

Jonah turned his head and asked, "Should we disguise ourselves?" ”

Ah Sai nodded: "It makes sense, it's always right to be cautious, it's very troublesome to run into the guys from the Long family and the Brotherhood." ”

A few minutes later, the red-clothed Basta master, the amateur accountant Asai, and the sword sharpener Lu Zishuo reappeared. The three of them looked at each other for a long time, "Change your name, or I'll always want to say yes when people call you, Brother Jonah." The Oriental complained.

"You're going to change careers, the identity of a magician is too conspicuous, what if someone from the Brotherhood connects with you?--Lu Zishuo can't do it, isn't Pingyin City the territory of the Lu family?

"Jonah's predecessor doesn't look like an accountant at all, at most he's an alchemist's apprentice or something. Long Shenlu whispered.

"Ahh

In this way, the three of them continued to march north on the black barren land. As we drifted farther away from Yunmengze, dots of greenery began to appear on the land, bringing with them the fragrance of fresh air and fertile earth. The astrologer took a deep breath: "Although I know that I am not far from my destination, I don't feel nervous, but I feel relaxed." ”

"Grandma will be fine, will be fine. The little dragon repeated it twice, as if trying to convince himself.

At this time, Ah Sai sniffled and said, "You guys are really optimistic. Grab your weapons, the trouble starts now. ”

"What?" said Jonah, curiously, "there is no one here, so what trouble can there be?"

The Oriental shook his head and did not speak.

They marched two hundred paces. Due to the topography, the scenery in front was hidden behind a small dirt slope, and the three people climbed up the dirt slope and saw a post station at the southernmost end of the Liang Sui Kingdom, the starting point of the entire post road. Although the post road here is not as wide and smooth as that of Nanshangguo, the whole is made of black rocks ground into a hexagonal shape, which looks uniquely gorgeous. There are two buildings with small courtyards, and there are post men appointed by the imperial court to settle here, responsible for daily communication and transportation.

At this moment, six decomposing corpses were nailed to the stone tablet at the end of the post road, and the stone tablet read: "The sky abyss casts Sui iron, and the clouds dream of a cool breeze." ”
