Inside the side hall, a group of guards stood far outside the door.

There are only five people in the hall: Lin Muyu, Tang Xiaoxi, Feng Jixing, and Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and Qin Ziling.

"His Royal Highness Yu, there must be something wrong with telling me to stay, right?" Qin Ziling said.

"Hmm. ”

Lin Muyu stretched out his hand into the Qiankun bag, fumbled for a while, and took out a black stone, and said, "Ministry of Works, Ziling, what are you looking for?"

"This?"

Qin Ziling stretched out his hand to take the stone, and suddenly couldn't help but be stunned: "It's so heavy! What kind of stone is this, it's completely different from ordinary stones...... And the texture is cold, like ......"

"Like what?"

"It's like coming from a cold hell. ”

"Hehe, the stones of hell are not cold. Lin Muyu smiled and said: "This stone is called the Demon Heart Stone, it contains something called the essence of the Demon Heart Stone, which can be refined, the Magic Heart Stone Essence is the nemesis of the strong in the Divine Realm, once the essence enters the bloodline, it can solidify the circulation of divine power, so that the strong in the Divine Realm cannot use any wisp of divine power in a short period of time, this kind of Devil Heart Stone is produced in the Tianji Continent, and some of their blades and arrows have been tempered with the essence of the Demon Heart Stone, as long as these blades are pierced into the skin, the strong people of the Divine Realm will also become mortals." ”

Feng Jixing was stunned for a moment: "This is really worse, our original strength is not as good as the Tianji Continent, and now there is such a demon heart stone......"

"Out of the way. ”

Lin Muyu smiled: "Anyway, there are only a few of our God Realm powerhouses...... And what impact can it have?"

"You're optimistic!" Feng Jixing smiled.

"Also, the Demon Heart Stone can't penetrate the Divine Wall, so for the Divine Realm powerhouse who has comprehended the ability of the Divine Wall, the Demon Heart Stone is also an ornament, in general, the Demon Heart Stone is used to deal with those gods whose cultivation is not deep enough, and the previous use is basically a sharp weapon for fighting between the major sects of the Heavenly Pole Continent. ”

Tang Xiaoxi blinked his eyes and said, "Mu Mu, the Demon Heart Stone is so powerful, and you are a master of forging soldiers, why don't you refine the essence of the Demon Heart Stone in the blade?"

"Actually, I've already tried. ”

Lin Muyu groaned and said: "Although the Demon Heart Stone can break the divine power, it is incompatible with the material of steel, and it will destroy the stiffness of the blade, if I refine the essence of the Demon Heart Stone into my blade, then my blade will not be able to withstand ten percent of my divine power, and will collapse on its own, how can such a blade cut through the protective qi of the opponent who matches it?"

"It turns out that there are pros and cons. ”

Feng Jixing stroked his palms and smiled: "Then what should I do now, what do you want to do when you leave Ziling and the Ministry of Industry?"

"The Demon Heart Stone can't be used as a blade, but it's still okay to refine arrows, after all, arrows are all bought and sold with a hammer, and there is no intention to turn back when you shoot them, and if you're lucky, arrows can indeed still cause deterrence. ”

As he spoke, Lin Muyu took out a black and white arrow, and said, "Oh, this is my failure last night, refining the essence of the Demon Heart Stone into the white diamond arrow, I tried it, originally the white diamond arrow can be easily shot into the rock, but this failed product ...... It actually shattered the moment it touched the rock, and I am afraid it would be difficult to shoot into the body of a god realm powerhouse. ”

"Your Highness is saying that after refining the Demon Heart Stone, this arrow became brittle?" Qin Ziling asked.

"Well, that's right, it's brittle. ”

Lin Muyu frowned, and said: "Maybe the molecular structure of the Demon Heart Stone is in conflict with the white diamond and iron, otherwise it shouldn't be so brittle, I tinkered with it for a long time last night, and I still can't really understand it, Ziling, here is a Demon Heart Stone and a white diamond arrow, you and the Ministry of Industry take it back to study it!"

Qin Ziling nodded: "I'll go back and study it, but ...... There's no guarantee that I'll be able to research something that even His Highness Yu can't understand, I'm not sure. ”

"No, I believe you. Lin Muyu patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are the first ghost talent of the empire, Qin Ziling, one of the most outstanding people in the Qin family, if even you can't solve this problem, then no one can solve it! Ziling, developed the magic crystal cannon and rescued the empire from the iron hooves of the demon clan once, this time, it still depends on you!"

Qin Ziling nodded deeply: "Yes, thank you Your Highness for your praise, I will do my best!"

"Hmm. ”

Lin Muyu raised his eyebrows and said: "Brother Feng, ten royal forest guards will be transferred from the main hall, and they will stay by Ziling's side from now on to act as Ziling's personal guards. ”

"yes, I see. Feng Jixing smiled and agreed.

Qin Ziling was grateful: "Thank you two highnesses for your kindness!"

"You're welcome. ”

Lin Muyu said: "Ah Yan is Xiao Yin's cousin, speaking of which, you are also Xiao Yin's cousin, but she hasn't had time to recognize you yet, as long as Xiao Yin can come back, I will definitely persuade her to recognize you as a cousin and make you king, this is my promise, and I will never break my word." ”

"The ...... King"

Qin Ziling trembled, the whole person was stunned, he was born in the distant lineage of the fallen Qin family, his father had given up on him, the whole family had given up on him, but now as the head of the Weapons Department, he has collected thousands of honors and favors, which impressed his father and the clansmen, if he was crowned king by the empress, it would be like reaching the pinnacle of life......

Thinking of this, Qin Ziling almost cried.

"Don't cry, bearded man. Lin Muyu made fun of him.

Qin Ziling still wiped a handful of tears and said: "Your Highness Yu, we have known each other for 31 years, and now it has been 42 years, these eleven years have passed in a flick of a finger, you monsters will remain forever, and they are still handsome at the beginning, but Ziling is old, maybe in a few years, Ziling will be an old man, goodbye to your words......"

"Don't, Ziling. ”

Lin Muyu interrupted him: "We will always be friends, no matter how old we are or the vicissitudes of time, I have passed on the fragment of the dragon bone to you, you must also practice more after work, don't worry, we will not wait for the day when you die of old age, we will definitely let you have eternal life." ”

"Hmm!"

Ziling nodded heavily: "Then I'll go, father-in-law, let's go back and study together!"

"Good. The Ministry of Industry Shangshu nodded, just as excited, Qin Ziling recognized him as his father-in-law a few months ago, and now he heard that Qin Ziling will be the one who will be crowned king in the future, then he is the king's father, how can he not cry with joy.

......

At this time, there was a hurried footstep outside the door, it was Chu Yao, she walked in with a letter in her hand, her beautiful eyes were red, tears filled her eyes, and she cried as soon as she entered the side hall.

"Sister Chu Yao, what's wrong?" Lin Muyu hurriedly asked.

The feather book in Chu Yao's hand fell to the ground, her shoulders trembled, and she couldn't help crying loudly: "Archdeacon Geyang...... He passed away......"

"Huh?"

Lin Muyu took a few steps back, and stood there blankly.

Ge Yang is the same generation as Lei Hong, but he has never stepped into the divine realm, so after all, he will still grow old and die, and the elders will go like that, at this moment, Lin Muyu feels that the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao is so cruel, and no matter how strong you are in the world, you will not be able to retain all these things.

Feng Jixing was gloomy and said softly: "Archdeacon Geyang has worked hard for the empire all his life, and now that the immortal has passed away, it is really a loss for the empire. ”

Lin Muyu was silent, standing there with a sour nose, he had been with Ge Yang for a long time, and he had already had a feeling of forgetting his old friend, and now the news of Ge Yang's death came out, which was like a bolt from the blue to him.

"Mu Mu, are you okay?" Tang Xiaoxi said softly while holding his arm.

"It's fine. ”

Lin Muyu lowered her head and wiped away her tears, and said, "Sister Chu Yao, send back the Yushu with my name, and order Lan Yancheng to bury Grandpa Geyang with princely etiquette, and bury it under the Zhenguo Monument." ”

"yes, I see. ”

In life, how much powerlessness can be done, how much involuntary self-determination, but this is life, never by others.

......

At dusk, the sea breeze blows against the waves, crashing against the reef and sand on the shore. The reef on the east coast is rugged, and most of the sections cannot be landed at all, which can easily lead to ships hitting the reef, which is something that no ship dares to challenge, so there are more than ten ports along the coast of Lingdongxing Province, and only three of them are open to the public.

The two figures landed lightly on the sea, stepping on the waves and moving slowly, and the nearly one-meter-high wave actually avoided them as if they were retreating and surrendering.

Lin Muyu and Tang Xiaoxi have to come to the East China Sea once a day, and it is five hundred miles away from Winter Frost City, but they still have to come, this is their mission and responsibility.

From a distance, several ships loomed over the sea, with the dark blue Purple Flower Battle Flag hanging from the bow, the symbol of the Empire.

It was a battleship, a patrol battleship of the Imperial Naval Division.

No one knows when the war will come, and they don't know why the Tianji Empire and the Blackstone Empire, the two countries that were originally at war, joined forces to promote the emergence of an honorary business alliance.

It must be the Qin Empire, it is precisely because of the existence of the Qin Empire and the Imperial Army that Tianji City feels threatened, otherwise, how could the arrogance of the Northern Abyss ally ally with the Blackstone Empire, which is weaker than himself?

Another reason is the Heavenly Empire.

"Chen Yu, Chen Yu......"

Lin Muyu looked at the east from afar and said, "Don't let me down, if you sit back and ignore this war, then Daqin is over, and you will be next." ”

Tang Xiaoxi smiled slightly: "Mu Mu, for the sake of the empire, you are about to go crazy......"

"It would be nice if it was really crazy, at least it wouldn't be that tiring. Lin Muyu laughed to herself.

"Are you okay?" Tang Xiaoxi grabbed his hand.

......

Lin Muyu gently poured her into her arms, and the two of them stood on the sea like reliefs.

"I don't know if this war can be won, I think...... I can't grasp the future anymore. ”

Lin Muyu's body trembled: "When will Xiao Yin come back, when will she be willing to come back to help us......"

Tang Xiaoxi hugged him tightly, tears coming out of his eyes: "It's going to be fine......"

......

Tang Xiaoxi knew that the burden on his shoulders was too heavy, so heavy that he was as strong as Lin Muyu and was almost unbearable.

The world's gains and losses, the success or failure of the ages.

Whoever is replaced, I'm afraid it will be the same.
