The sunlight shines through the clouds and falls on the snow-white peaks in the distance, dyeing them with a pale golden light.

Lin Qiye looked at the gray mist that kept churning outside the border line, sitting on the top of the mountain like a statue, the crimson cloak spread on the snow, like a little red ink in the white world.

A rough palm reached out from behind him, holding a pack of cigarettes in his palm, one of which protruded from the case, waiting to be drawn.

"Do you want one?"

Shen Qingzhu's voice sounded from behind Lin Qiye.

Lin Qiye was slightly stunned when he saw the cigarette box in front of him, and after hesitating for a moment, he took the whole pack of cigarettes directly with some absent-mindedness.

Looking at the empty palm, Shen Qingzhu was stunned.

"Smoking too much is not good for your health." Shen Qingzhu sat down beside him, snatched back the pack of cigarettes, took one out of it and handed it to Lin Qiye, and stuffed the rest back into his pocket.

"I'll give you one first, and next time you ask for it, come to me and get it."

"Hmm."

Lin Qiye learned from Shen Qingzhu a little jerky, and put the cigarette in his mouth.

Shen Qingzhu put his finger next to the cigarette butt and gently rubbed out a wisp of sparks, the orange-yellow flame burned the white cigarette paper, and wisps of smoke wafted out.

"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Lin Qiye coughed violently.

Shen Qingzhu patted Lin Qiye's back like a loving father, and at the same time showed an expression that was really like this.

Lin Qiye took a deep breath, put the cigarette in his fingertips, and looked at the busy border defense company at his feet, his eyes flashed with complexity,

"Brother Tu, what do you think...... Am I a qualified night watchman? ”

"If Captain Lin, who has two group Star Sea Medals and one individual Star Sea Medal, is not a qualified night watchman, then there are few qualified night watchmen in the entire Great Xia." Shen Qingzhu did not hesitate to speak.

"I'm not talking about merit, that's meaningless......"

"Why is merit meaningless?" Shen Qingzhu opened his mouth puzzled, "If you can't even judge a night watchman for your merits for Great Xia, then what should you use?" ”

"I mean the ideological aspect of consciousness." Lin Qiye then said.

"Ideological enlightenment?"

"It's selflessness, dedication, self-denial...... Something like these. ”

“……”

Shen Qingzhu stared at Lin Qiye with a strange expression, "What are you talking about?" ”

Lin Qiye was stunned.

"We are night watchmen, not saints, and even less thinkers." Shen Qingzhu shook his head, "These things are indeed important, but for us, the performance of our duties is the most important thing, to judge a night watchman, we should look at what he does, not how brilliant his thoughts are......

Why are you asking this all of a sudden? ”

Lin Qiye was silent for a moment, and said everything he saw and heard in the silhouette of time.

After listening, Shen Qingzhu looked at him with a complicated expression.

"You're thinking too much." He said, "When the night watchman has so many harsh conditions, all we believe in is the four sentences on the back of the coat of arms." ”

Shen Qingzhu took out a cigarette from his arms, lit it in his mouth, and naturally exhaled a puff of smoke, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes:

"The oath of the Night's Watch is magical. When I was in the training camp, I was a rotten person who didn't know anything, but when I jumped out of the cave and swore an oath to the infinite flames alone...... Some things are naturally enlightened and then deeply engraved in my mind. ”

"Swear ......"

In Lin Qiye's mind, he once again recalled the scene when he was in the training camp and swore an oath to the red flag.

His oath was very plain and ordinary, not as memorable as Shen Qingzhu, and he didn't understand anything from it...... Back then, he was just a fledgling newcomer, and what he remembered most was Zhao Kongcheng's knife and his ten-year appointment.

So much so that when he read the oath, deep in his heart, he just wanted to inherit Zhao Kongcheng's will and complete the agreement, and did not completely hand over himself to the four oaths.

Perhaps this is also the reason why, now that he has become a night watchman with meritorious achievements, he always feels that something is missing in his heart.

"If you feel that you are not worthy of being a guide for the recruits because of these so-called ideological awareness, then you are definitely thinking too much." Shen Qingzhu patted him on the shoulder and said firmly,

"In this team, there is no one more suitable to guide them than you, Lin Qiye."

"Go back, Instructor Lin." Shen Qingzhu slowly stood up from the ground and stretched out his palm to Lin Qiye, "The last lesson you gave to the rookies is not finished yet." ”

The confusion in Lin Qiye's eyes dissipated a little, he was silent for a moment, reached out and grabbed Shen Qingzhu's palm, and stood up from the ground.

He smiled slightly,

"Thanks, Brother Drag."

Shen Qingzhu put his hand back in his pocket, glanced at him with a cigarette in his mouth, a smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, shook his head silently, turned around and walked towards the border company with Lin Qiye.

……

Egypt.

Outside Cité Soleil.

Endless starlight sprinkled from the sky, sealing off the entire Sun City, and from a distance, it looked like a giant dark blue sphere, silently suspended in the gray-white mist.

The surging divine power and fire flickered one after another from the starlight sphere, and an unprecedented bloody battle in the kingdom of God had reached a white-hot stage.

At this moment, in the mist, a figure in a black robe slowly walked out.

Loki raised his head and looked at Sun City, which was completely blocked in the sky, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Their target, sure enough, is the ...... of Sun City"

He stepped forward, moving unhurriedly towards the edge of the starlight array, his eyes flashing with a glimmer of light, and he muttered to himself:

"Sun City's strength is now greatly damaged, it must not be the opponent of the Great Xia God who has just returned from reincarnation and is in its heyday, and it is only a matter of time before the Egyptian gods are defeated...... But then the situation is too boring. ”

He walked to the edge of the Starlight Array, his eyes staring at the battlefield inside the Starlight, and he reached out to grasp it in the void, and an ancient dark golden spear was held in his hand.

In the void around this spear, there are dots of golden light, flying around it like a firefly, the dark golden tip of the spear is engraved with fine rune characters, which seems to contain some kind of order power, and the moment it is exposed to the air, a mysterious and terrifying aura emanates out.

This is the strongest artifact of Asgard and the personal blade of Odin, the king of the gods.

Spear of Eternity, Gangenir.

Loki held the gun and stood quietly outside the starlight array, squinting at the battlefield inside, as if waiting for something:

"It's not enough...... We'll have to wait a little longer......"
