Chapter 18 [From now on, only on your own!]
Looking at the endless plain in front of him, bursts of white clouds swept by at low altitude, posing in bizarre and strange shapes, and drawing beautiful patterns in the sky, Lin Tao's heart couldn't be happy. and like-minded friends have been separated, and everyone is going their separate ways. The white-clothed Dou Sheng and Jin Nanwu Tong went north to the territory of the Zhenwu Empire, while the fire position and water were to the south, and the dragon was boundless to the west, and now he was the only one who went south. Thinking of this, Lin Tao couldn't help but smile bitterly, compared with the excitement in the past, he was much lonelier now, alone, alone.
However, for a man, it is natural to endure loneliness, endure hardship, and bear responsibility. So these are nothing to Lin Tao, it's just that he is affectionate by nature and reluctant in his heart.
When I think about the separation, everyone is also teary-eyed, these iron-clad men are seriously injured, they are wronged, and they have not shed a single tear at the moment of life and death, but when the brothers are separated, they cry......
A gust of wind blew, pulling Lin Tao's thoughts back from afar. He stomped the solid ground under his feet, and his face was replaced with that confident smile again, "It's okay, after all, the road still needs to be walked by yourself, this is your own choice, and you can't count on others." It's just a pity that I don't know what year and month I will see each other today, or maybe I don't know the day when we will see each other at all? Maybe I don't exist in this world anymore. Sighing softly and lifting the burden on his back, Lin Tao's footsteps resolutely buried the land.
Before leaving, the white-clothed Dou Saint Xiang Nantian and Jin Nanwu Tong were not worried about Lin Tao, so they gave Lin Tao two of their very precious self-defense weapons. One of them was a pale gold ring, a fiery red spike, and a flute made of green jade. Among the three treasures, the pale gold ring contains a magical power planted by the white-clothed Dou Sheng, even if he encounters a full blow from the Dou Sheng, he can also keep Lin Tao safe and sound, but he can only use it once. According to the description of the two, if you use the fire attribute fighting spirit to urge this nail to resist the enemy, it can have an unexpected effect, and the sneak attack is the best. Among the three treasures, the flute made of green jade is the most popular with Lin Tao, which is a gift from the white-clothed Dou Sanctuary, he once said that this flute is not an attack weapon, but a kind of equipment for self-defense, and the biggest effect is that whenever this flute is blown, it is much faster than the speed of cultivation. With such a small thing, it provides the best way for Lin Tao to relieve loneliness on the road. Although the others are good, in fact, Lin Tao treats them more as souvenirs, which contains the care and expectations of several seniors for him.
"Several seniors were so good to me, but I hid them from them in this matter, but I couldn't help it. Lin Tao smiled helplessly and muttered in a low voice.
As early as in the Pandora's Box world, when the war was over and everyone was preparing to find the original body of the rules, Lin Tao had pointed out the right path for everyone three times and twice. However, the true face of all this is only clear to Lin Tao, I don't know why, there are always such and such pictures flashing in his mind, some are the five parallel spaces under the Asura Kuntai Tree, and some are the appearance of the regular primordial. Why such a strange thing happened, Lin Tao couldn't explain it. In fact, he had a faint inference in his heart, but he didn't want to believe it, he didn't want to verify it, and his intuition told him that all this was related to his devouring of the Devil Fruit and the pale blue color in his blood. It's just that this kind of thing is too terrifying, Lin Tao is optimistic, he doesn't want to think about it, it's best to go with the flow.
——————————
After staring at the map made of parchment in his hand for a long time, Lin Tao looked up at the endless plain in front of him. "This place is more than fifty miles from the border town, and beyond that is the manor of the Duke of Wales of the Orsay Empire, and then if you go south, you will pass through the three provinces of the Orsay Empire, enter the territory of the Everton family, and after crossing it, you will reach the Byzantine Empire controlled by the Holy See. It's easy to say, but it will take at least three or four months to walk, which is too troublesome. Well, the most important thing at the moment is to go to the city where the Duke of Wales is located to exchange a little gold for a coil to use on the road, and then buy a carriage, which will be much faster to walk. Lin Tao was planning in his heart as he ran across the plain. Although his injuries are not intact, the fighting spirit in his body has recovered, and there is no major problem when he is in a hurry.
Lin Tao still remembers the days when he ran with the little wolf. It's just a pity that things are wrong, but the little wolf doesn't know where it is at the moment, and Lin Tao is helpless about it. When he first entered Pandora's space, he couldn't enter with the wolf cub at all, and the patriarch of the Aita clan wouldn't agree, so he had to put the wolf cub on the platform of Maqira and told it not to wait for him. Because at that time, Lin Tao himself didn't know if he could or go out. And now, although he has walked out of the Pandora's box world, he is in another country, according to the indication on the map, this place is three or four countries away from the Netherworld, and it will take half a year to walk there. Not to mention that Lin Tao is pressed for time now, even if he doesn't rush to the Netherworld again, he doesn't know if the little wolf is still waiting for him there.
"Alas, if you have a fate, you can naturally meet!" Lin Tao comforted himself in his heart.
There is no difference from the previous rush, Lin Tao still likes to constantly feel his understanding of fighting spirit during the journey, let himself fully integrate into the world around him, and feel that every wind and grass around him and the clouds float. And this rare leisure also provided him with an excellent time and place to consolidate his cultivation, and at the same time had a summary of this trip to the Netherworld. After all, in this line, he has experienced hundreds of battles, large and small, and now he needs to understand from such battles, summarize his combat experience, and improve his own cultivation, and even more so, he can understand the last stop, the fighting skills of the white-clothed Dou Sheng and the demon Neminen, I believe that he can gain a lot.
However, for Lin Tao, the journey of fifty miles only takes half a day to arrive. Half a day later, the outline of the city named after Duke Wales slowly unfolded in front of Lin Tao's eyes.
Lin Tao was slightly surprised by the gathering of a long dragon at the gate of the city, and after taking a closer look and inquiring, he realized that it was because the duke's youngest daughter had disappeared three days ago in Welsh City. After learning of the disappearance of his youngest daughter, the Duke immediately issued an order to forbid the city, and the entire city of Wales was only allowed to enter and exit, and every household was strictly checked to find out the whereabouts of Loria.
Looking at the long queue at the door, Lin Tao frowned, this scene made him a little difficult. I will not stay in this Welsh city for long because of my time constraints, so I naturally take a little rest, and leave immediately after buying all the dry food for the carriage and coachman, but in the face of the forbidden city, it is easy to enter the city and it is difficult to leave. Who knows when the duke's youngest daughter will be found, and when the order of the forbidden city will be revoked?
After hesitating, Lin Tao reluctantly made a decision, let's talk about it in the first city, and then look at the situation.
At the gate of the Welsh city, which is not spacious, a pair of armored soldiers are armed with spears, and their eyes are blazing and staring at passers-by, looking fierce. The sun shone down, and the armor and spear flashed with blinding reflections, echoing each other.
One by one, the crowd was carefully inspected before they were allowed to enter Wales City, and soon it was Lin Tao's turn.
"Name!" a rugged soldier shouted at Lin Tao in a loud voice.
"Lin Tao!"
"What are you doing in the city?"
"Pedestrians come and go, go into the city to replenish!"
"It's just that simple?"
"Hmm. ”
Lin Tao's performance is no different from ordinary people, the main reason is that he doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, and he is injured, so it is better to have more than one thing. However, things in this world will not always be as you want, and the more you look like a bully, people will still pinch you.
The rough-looking soldier looked at Lin Tao's expression with a bad face, but after the questioning, he did not send Lin Tao guidance to enter the city, but beckoned to Lin Tao and motioned for Lin Tao to come aside.
Lin Tao's brows frowned slightly, and he was very resistant to this, but he didn't want to provoke the city guards here for no reason, so he stepped aside.
The big Han soldier looked arrogant, and the spear he held in his right hand kept turning twice, as if to show his authority. "I suspect you didn't go into the city to make supplies, but to steal!"
Hearing that the other party had arranged a crime for himself like this, Lin Tao suddenly felt uncomfortable, raised his eyebrows, and his sharp eyes instantly shot at the soldier's body. The strong fighter is also considered a strong one, thinking that the Zhenwu Empire is only nearly 10,000 fighters with the strength of the whole country, you can know that the strong fighter is actually relatively rare. As a strong fighter, he was bullied so casually by an ordinary soldier who only had the level of a waiter, Lin Tao couldn't help it no matter how good his temperament was.
As soon as the big man's gaze first touched Lin Tao's fierce eyes, he immediately felt that his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a big hand, and the terrifying pressure made him feel a little unable to breathe, and the cold sweat on his forehead instantly remained.
Seeing this scene, Lin Tao smiled disdainfully, and spat softly: "Silver rod wax spear head!" But he didn't have any interest in having anything to do with such a waiter, if it weren't for his identity as a soldier defending Wales City, Lin Tao would have been enough to kill him just by indiscriminately imposing a crime on himself! He was not a good person, he had enough blood on his hands, and he didn't care about one more.
When the strength increases, the mentality of the person will also change. Lin Tao is a fighter at the moment, so he should have the style of a strong man, how can he tolerate a mere waiter to take care of himself arbitrarily? At this point, all the strong people in the entire Izumo Continent, whether it is a fighting master, a great fighting master, or a fighting saint fighting god, is no exception!
