In the innermost room, there are only a few simple pieces of furniture in the small room.

The lord of the castle sat opposite his son.

This room was originally full of spirit stones, but now they have all been moved out. This also made the house completely empty and became a temporary resting place for them.

The lord of the castle sat on a chair inside, staring at the bare walls around him with a look of remembrance as if he wanted to see through the history of this room.

He seemed to want to figure out how the house was built, how the first box of spirit stones was moved in, and how all the spirit stones were finally moved out from every crack of the wall, every fold of the wall skin.

What a wonderful irony, thought the lord of the castle.

Isn't this small room the best explanation of their family's current situation, although there is no sect for tens of millions of years, and a family for tens of thousands of years, but when this kind of end completes this cycle in his own hands, it still makes him feel a sense of frustration.

The roar outside suddenly became louder again, and the lord of the castle regained his thoughts and focused on his son's face.

"A person's success depends on wealth, luck, and force, but the most important thing is to rely on one's own mind. The lord of the castle tapped his head with emotion, wanting to pass on this knowledge in one go.

"It's the father" Zhang Gongzi studied very seriously.

After so many days, although everyone did not say anything, everyone understood that the so-called rescue was getting more and more remote.

And what if a few of them were to be rescued eventually? If it was possible that there were enough people alive in the city at the beginning, now that so much time has passed, I am afraid that there may not be even a tenth of them who will survive in the end.

The longer the time drags on, the less hope there is for rebuilding Jixia City, and the city lord knows this better than anyone else.

After the great disaster, even if you are willing to spend a lot of money to build the city more beautiful than it is now, it is an extremely slow and difficult process for people to rebuild their faith under such destruction.

"You are very smart, you should be able to understand all these ideals I said. ”

"If you don't have a flexible mind, can't see the situation clearly, and make the most of your advantages, then no matter how much wealth, force or luck you have, it is actually empty talk. The lord of the city paused and continued,

"Because there is always someone who is richer, stronger, and even luckier than you. The lord of the city didn't know what he thought, and sighed with emotion.

He looked around the whole room, the walls were full of spirit absorbing stones, when the ancestors built this place, they did not hesitate to spend money, so this spirit absorbing stone was used extremely thick. As long as you close the door, you don't have to worry about being heard outside.

"How are you preparing?" After saying the previous ones, the city lord changed his tone and asked in a low voice.

Zhang Gongzi raised his head and looked at his father, and he found that his eyes seemed to be particularly hazy, as if he hadn't woken up. But when you look closely, you can see a little bit of wisdom in the middle.

"As you commanded, I've checked every mechanism in the vault these days, and they're all in good condition. Zhang Gongzi thought for a while.

Although he didn't show up these days, it was obvious that the city lord didn't let him be idle.

Hearing this, the lord of the city nodded.

Although he didn't show it much on the surface, he was visibly relieved in his heart. It was as if for the first time in so many days, he had suddenly taken some breath from his suffocating state.

He thought for a moment, and once again commanded, "Remember our plan, tell me again." ”

Zhang Gongzi nodded, and repeated seriously: "In case of the last moment, even when the secret room that protects this large array is broken, father, you will control the last mechanism in this secret room to block the enemy. ”

"And I, until then, will gather the people in the hall. Then I'll pull open that scroll, take advantage of your chance to block the enemy, and use the power of the remaining human blood sacrifices in the hall to pull open that scroll and teleport away. ”

"Yes, the time to open that scroll must be accurate. The Lord nodded in satisfaction, he seemed to be particularly concerned about when the scroll would be opened.

Then he said uneasily, "Remember, timing is important. After all, we are mortals, and you must gather everyone first, otherwise you may not be able to gain enough power to pull the scroll open. ”

"Yes" Zhang Gongzi nodded vigorously, he obviously didn't want to disappoint his father.

However, what he didn't notice was that death seemed to be about to crawl to his father's neck, but instead of a sense of decadence of death, he was extremely active in his mind and paid more attention to every detail of the escape than he even did.

Although this can be understood as a father, who is as wise as the sea, far-sighted, clever, shrewd and capable, and never gives up even when he is in the most desperate situation, he can be regarded as doing the last thing a father can do for his son.

But when he was so verbose and even took the trouble to repeatedly confirm every detail of it, until Zhang Gongzi was so familiar that he could do it completely according to his own standards with his knee-jerk reaction, he nodded with satisfaction, still revealing a trace of weirdness.

Of course, even in the end, his eyes became serious again, staring at his son and solemnly admonishing, "Remember not to hesitate, when I turn off the engine, you will immediately pull the scroll and go first, and you must leave me alone." ”

Zhang Gongzi raised his head, he didn't notice his father's abnormalities at all, but it seemed that there was a trickle of warmth flowing into his heart, he stared carefully at his father and ordered every detail there, as if he wanted to re-acquaint himself with his father again.

Although so many days have passed, he still holds that hope in his heart, hoping that his father can escape together. But after so many days, it is clear that it has become more and more elusive.

He stared at his father's face, his loose muscles, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and the gray hair on his sideburns.

Although his father's pampering of the city lord for many years made him look much younger than his actual age, he still saw his father's hard work for so many years from the details.

What's more, until now, his father still keeps the hope of life to himself, which makes him feel a trace of warmth in his body and begin to erect.

"Father" Zhang Gongzi choked up, crying silently.

He suddenly felt that father's love was so great, so extensive, so deep and worth savoring.

At this moment, he suddenly felt as if something in his heart had been deeply stirred, and his eyes were blurred with a buzzing sound.

Leisurely literature, let the soul travel!
