"Now that you know, it's easy to handle."
Lu Yuan nodded slightly.
Looking at the confused Ice Emperor Hai Bodong: "Mingren don't tell secrets. The purpose of my coming is actually very simple. I am just entrusted by others to take you back. Everything else is actually none of my business. "
Haibodong hesitated slightly.
A trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes uncontrollably.
However, it soon became calm.
He spread his hands freely and laughed to himself: "I don't have the ability to resist in front of you. Is it possible that you still expect me to tie my hands?"
"of course not."
Lu Yuan could see Hai Bodong's little hidden thoughts at a glance.
However, I didn’t try to point it out.
He reminded in a calm tone: "The person who invited me to come to you this time is from the Mittel family and has a good relationship with me, so you don't have to worry about me doing anything bad to you. I've heard about what happened back then, if you don't mind. , you can tell me what exactly happened to you, and maybe I can think of a solution."
Mittel family?
Hearing this familiar name again, Hai Bodong's eyes quickly flashed with nostalgia. His suspicion was reduced a lot, but it still existed.
After all, the other party he saw was a real Yunlan Sect disciple. From the previous temptation, the other party did not deny it.
The disciples of the Yunlan Sect were entrusted by the Miter family to find him, the Ice King, who had lived in seclusion for many years?
What a cold joke this is...
However, that's it.
Just as the other party said before.
Since there is no room for rejection, it is okay to talk.
Although, it's all in vain.
But I can still talk about the pain I have been squeezing over the years.
Thinking this, Haibodong nodded.
However, his experience was too long.
so……
"What exactly do you want to know?"
Haibodong poured a glass of hot water for Lu Yuan.
Mocheng is located in a desert area.
Luxuries like tea are rare.
Furthermore, Hai Bodong was not used to drinking tea either.
Therefore, I could only pour a cup of hot water for Lu Yuan, and then sit calmly on the chair, looking at Lu Yuan who was also sitting on the chair on the other side across a desk.
"I want to know how you ended up like this..."
"Because it stands to reason that you were a fighting emperor no matter what back then. Even if you were severely injured by Queen Medusa of the snake-men clan and your realm fell, you wouldn't have been able to fall to this point, right?"
"Dou Huang has fallen to the limit of Dou Wang."
"If you fall again, you will die."
"Otherwise, the foundation can guarantee the lower limit."
Lu Yuan hesitated slightly.
Although he knew why Hai Bodong had fallen to this point, Hai Bodong still didn't know that he knew.
What's more, the only parties involved are Hai Bodong and Queen Medusa. Not to mention Hai Bodong, the only channel through which he can obtain information is Queen Medusa. In case Hai Bodong mistakes him for a snake man again. A spy sent by the clan...
Although it is harmless, it is still troublesome.
What's more, the information he knew was only part of it, and it was definitely different from the details told personally by the person involved, Hai Bodong.
Apart from this, there are some other reasons.
All in all, it's better to listen to Hai Bodong's story.
It’s always good to be prepared.
When Hai Bodong heard Lu Yuan's question, he couldn't help but feel a flash of sadness in his eyes. He had no intention of concealing or deceiving anyone in this matter. He shook his head and asked:
"You know all the common sense, but I don't know it?"
"be honest."
"Actually, what I received is a seal, a seal released by Queen Medusa herself. Although I don't know the name of this seal, this seal can suppress my realm to the level of Dou Ling, even if it is Even though I can break through to Dou Wang, I will always be suppressed."
"It's like a bucket filled with water."
"Obviously you can refill it, but this seal suddenly puts a lid on you in the middle of the barrel. It fits tightly, so that even if you know that the capacity can hold more water, you can't put it in."
"Either, just open the lid."
"Either, break the barrel underneath."
Haibodong smiled bitterly and pointed at his body.
The meaning is obvious.
This "barrel" represents his body.
Therefore, the second method is actually to kill him.
And the first method…
"I have read through ancient books over the years."
"Unfortunately, no one has a solution."
Haibodong glanced at the books around him.
He shook his head and sighed slightly: "Even if the solution is too difficult and I can't complete it, it is still better than waiting to die now."
After saying that, he turned to look at Lu Yuan:
"To be honest, if you really came here for what you just said, I can more or less guess the thoughts of the person from the Mittel family who asked you to come to me, but you also saw it with your own eyes. Here we are, now, even if I go back, I will be unable to save the world."
"If everything you just said was just a pretext..."
"You saw it too."
"I don't have the ability to resist anymore."
"Although I don't know what the Yunlan Sect is asking me to do, you can think about it from my perspective. If I have the solution, why would I end up here?"
Lu Yuan nodded slightly.
Haibodong told the truth.
I could have endured the darkness, but I have seen the light.
What he is actually talking about is today’s Haibodong.
If he was originally a Dou Ling, even if he hated Mocheng or Tagore Desert, the sense of disparity brought to him by everything now would not be too strong. But he was originally a Dou Huang, and everything now, It gave him a sense of gap as if he was suffocating.
However, Haibodong also knew his fate very well.
After he finished complaining, his tone gradually returned to calmness.
Although there are still waves, it is relatively calm.
"I also know."
"Such a fighting skill that can seal a Dou Huang and turn him into a Dou Ling, no matter whether it is a secret method that can only be used by the snake people or not, will not be recorded in most ancient books. If this method The secret method was created by Queen Medusa herself, so there won’t be any records or solutions.”
"If nothing else happens..."
"This is how it will be for the rest of my life."
"If possible, I still hope you will help me get revenge. But after so many years, no one knows whether Queen Medusa has become a Douzong. But regardless of whether Queen Medusa is a Douzong or not, I hope You can remember the hatred between the Jia Ma Empire and the snake people, and never let the snake people enter the Jia Ma Empire, it will be a disaster for all the people in the Jia Ma Empire."
Speaking of this, Hai Bodong seemed to remember something.
He smiled self-deprecatingly and patted his forehead.
"Look at my memory..."
"As I talk, I forget your identity..."
"Right."
"Even if it's not for the sake of the Jia Ma Empire, just to protect the Yunlan Sect, you can't tolerate the snake people entering the Jia Ma Empire. Regarding this aspect, I still worry about my self-righteousness."
Lu Yuan understood Haibodong's instructions very well.
However, he also disagreed.
The positions of both sides on this matter are complex.
This complexity even goes beyond the hatred between humans and demons in the fox demon world, and directly involves issues of survival and resources.
If you don't have no choice...
Who wants to live in the desert all day?
You have to think about it before taking a sip of water.
I was afraid that I would drink all the water and die of thirst in the desert.
What's more, snakes are inherently cold animals. They are one of the few cold-blooded animals among all living things. They naturally like shady places, and what they hate most is being exposed to the sun in a waterless environment like the desert.
certainly.
Snake people, snake people.
Half snake, half human.
The character has also been neutralized by human nature.
But……
Even humans hate living in the desert!
This is not the same as going to the edge of the desert to sunbathe!
Any happiness is actually based on guaranteed living conditions. If even the most basic survival cannot be guaranteed, whether it is the sea or the beach, for all living things, it is destined to be surrounded by dangers and die at any time. test.
Therefore, putting himself in his shoes, Lu Yuan believed that even if he had the blood of the snake people, he would not live in the desert.
even if……
Backed by so-called oasis…
However, can a small oasis really fully support the daily needs of all the snake people living in the Tagore Desert?
no doubt.
The answer must be impossible.
Therefore, this problem can never be solved.
As the leader of the snake people, whether Queen Medusa or not, we must consider the extremely practical issue of resources. And since the Garma Empire cannot give us the resources we want, then, The only solution left to solve the problem...
Just fight!
!
But……
Looking at it from the perspective of the Gama Empire...
Why should I give you resources?
Whether there is any grudge or not, let’s put it aside for now.
Let’s talk about the resource issue first.
I have food at home, why should I give it to you?
I'm willing to give it away, that's my business.
I don’t want to give it away, so there’s nothing wrong with it, right?
Therefore, since you want to fight, I can only accompany you to the end!
From an objective point of view, the relationship between the snake people and the Jia Ma Empire is actually that simple. Whoever beats whom is actually right. The problems inside are even more serious than those between humans and monsters in the fox demon world.
After all, in the world of fox monsters, there is no need for the monster clan to target the human race at all. This is just a difference in three views. The monster clan prefers the theory of the weak and the strong, but as long as the three views of most monsters are corrected and they put down their hatred, it is still can live in peace.
And this Jiama Empire and the snake people clan cannot live in peace...
What does it have to do with him, Lu Yuan?
The snake people didn't surrender to him.
The relationship between the Jiama Empire and the Yunlan Sect is not very good either.
In a state of half utilization and half alliance.
However, Yafei is in the same camp as him. Even if she is not currently, she will be in the same position as Xiao Yan when he comes out.
The answer to whom to help specifically is obvious.
But the problem is...
He really doesn’t know how to make alchemy!
Although his fighting spirit attribute is suitable for alchemy...
Of course, suitable for everything.
After all, his fighting spirit attributes are all attributes.
However, on the one hand, he did not have the guidance of Yao Chen, a ninth-grade alchemist. On the other hand, he had never been exposed to the profession of alchemist, and he did not have any elixir recipe in his hand. It was completely impossible to help Hai Bodong unlock the seal. !
It was easy to kill Hai Bodong.
However, just like what a certain mastermind behind the scenes said: It is very difficult to step on ants without hurting them at all!
Lu Yuan found it impossible to successfully remove the seal on Hai Bodong without hurting Hai Bodong just thinking about it.
not to mention……
This world is still different from the previous ones.
If it were the first few worlds, he could still use his extraordinary level of power to forcibly break the seal without understanding it. At most, the process would be a bit rougher, but the effect would be the same.
It's like a lock.
Hai Bodong is looking for the key.
And he had already picked up the axe.
Go down with two axes and ask if the lock is unlocked!
However, in the world of Dou Po, what you don’t understand is really what you don’t understand. If the violent dismantling method leaves Hai Bodong with any sequelae, even if he uses the power of time to go back, the result will be the same.
After all, the seal already exists now.
Unless he can go back decades in one breath.
Otherwise, the effect of the power of time is almost zero.
Haibodong was also quietly observing Lu Yuan's expression.
Seeing Lu Yuan's contemplation, he suddenly understood a little bit.
After a pause, he pretended not to care and said to calm the atmosphere: "It doesn't matter, I was once a Dou Ling. After being defeated by a Dou Huang, I was able to save a life and even retain the cultivation of Dou Ling." , is already something that ordinary people can’t even imagine, I won’t embarrass you, I will just go with you.”
Lu Yuan knew.
All that Hai Bodong is saying now is because he is a Dou Emperor. If he was not a Dou Emperor but a great Dou Master, Hai Bodong would have attacked him long ago.
Don't think that the otherworldly world is safe.
on the contrary.
The extraordinary world is the most dangerous.
It often happens that the speaker has no intention and the listener has no intention.
Sometimes, it's really normal to have trouble come out of your mouth.
only……
"Now that you've made a promise, you can't just let it go!"
Lu Yuan put down the water glass.
Pick up the bamboo hat that you put aside before and put it on.
Although he knew that Queen Medusa, who had not yet broken through to Douzong, was nothing in front of him, but in order to beware of Dou Po World's world consciousness suddenly causing trouble, after all, when he came to this world, the world consciousness here was not like Zhu Xian The world consciousness of the world greeted him, but no one knew what his specific attitude was towards him.
Anyway, he still warned Hai Bodong in a deep voice:
"If I can't come back, I will go to Wutan City."
"In Wutan City, the Xiao family is looking for Xiao Yan."
"He can solve the seal problem on you."
"It's just that he can't solve it now. The price you need to pay is much more than it is now. There may even be a request to serve as a guardian. If you really want to solve the seal problem on your body, just agree to it. As a result, You won’t be disappointed for sure.”
"If I come back..."
"Then you come back with me to see Ya Fei."
"The Mittel family has begun to rot."
"What a family fears most is not ambition or fierce internal fighting, but the lack of a patriarch with real talent and knowledge, and the patriarch with real talent and knowledge must also have enough courage."
"I think that after seeing the situation of the Mittel family, you should be able to understand my evaluation and summary of the Mittel family at this moment."
With that said, Lu Yuan slowly walked out.
Haibodong never thought that Lu Yuan would do this?
With a shake of his hand, he almost pulled off two strands of his beard.
He quickly stepped forward and stopped Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
He didn't even dodge.
It's not that he can't get rid of Hai Bodong's obstruction.
It's just that since Haibodong stopped him, there must be a reason for stopping him. A fighting spirit would never stop a fighting emperor without a reason, especially when the fighting emperor is suspected to be an enemy.
certainly.
Hai Bodong was really confused.
It wasn't just what Lu Yuan said at the end.
There were many, many actions that he didn't understand.
For example...
"Where are you going?"
I glanced at the dust flying from time to time outside the store.
Haibodong put down his hand and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
He really couldn't figure out where Lu Yuan was going.
After all, according to the current situation, no matter what Lu Yuan's identity is, no matter what Lu Yuan's ultimate goal is, he certainly cannot live in seclusion in a small place like Mocheng.
In this case, even if you want to leave, you have to take me away first, right?
Aren't you afraid that I will disappear after you leave?
You are the Dou Huang.
Not Douzong.
Even if you are Douzong, after I run away, you will not be able to find me in this vast northwest continent. Even if I take the initiative to live in a city in order to reduce the difficulty for you to search for me, there are so many empires in the northwest continent. , you can find them one by one for decades.
certainly.
If it was under Lu Yuan's nose, he definitely wouldn't be able to escape.
However, what Lu Yuan meant by this was that he planned to scare him into traveling far away?
Especially what I told him before leaving.
Wutan City?
What kind of small cities are those?
In the Jiama Empire, there were too many small cities like Utan City. He was not a cartographer who specialized in studying maps. How could he know about this little city that was not famous at all?
OK.
Even if he knew.
Go to Wutan City to find Xiao Yan from the Xiao family, and you can solve his problems...
Let’s just say, isn’t it a bit outrageous?
This is the seal set by Dou Huang!
It was still a seal set by a Nine-Star Fighting Emperor like Queen Medusa with a full blow!
Even you have used concrete actions to say that you cannot solve this problem. I will go to Wutan City and find an unknown little person to solve the seal. Are you sure you are not kidding me?
certainly.
Haibodong didn't say it so harshly.
His strength is good, but his emotional intelligence is also not low.
Lu Yuan naturally understood what Hai Bodong meant.
However, he didn't mean to be joking.
Haibodong didn't understand or believe it, mainly because of the cognitive gap between the two parties. In this extraordinary world that has not yet entered the era of information exchange, some important news is really unknown to ordinary people.
This is also the importance of information warfare.
If someone can master this information, it means that he can calculate others anytime and anywhere. If he has good skills, he can even make himself completely invisible during the entire plan!
Therefore, in a sense, this is similar to the way of using the power of destiny. They are using their known to attack the enemy's unknown, thus causing a battle situation where one step is wrong and the other is wrong.
Therefore, Lu Yuan did not care about this.
He just smiled calmly.
He pondered slightly, and then said in a deep voice:
"I'll only say it once."
"It's up to you to believe it or not."
"Anyway, you can put yourself in my shoes and think about whether I need to lie to you."
"As for why I asked you to wait, what if you wait until I come back, what if you don't wait until I come back, it's because I thought of a method that can fundamentally solve your seal, but this method takes time. I need your patience."
"certainly."
"You don't have to believe me."
"After I leave, run away alone."
"But you will undoubtedly irritate me by doing so."
"Although someone asked me to find you back, what I found specifically was a complete Ice King or an Ice King with missing arms and legs. To me, the result actually makes no difference."
"What's more, with my strength, it shouldn't be difficult to forcibly subdue the Miter family. I'm looking for you back just to be more impeccable in name. But as a fighting emperor, you should also know very well that in name, In the hands of strong men like us, it is just a rag doll that can be played around with at will. If we don’t like it, we can destroy it at will!”
"In short, it's up to you to believe it or not."
"What I said is very clear."
"I don't want to say it a third time."
Lu Yuan raised his hand and pressed the hat.
His tone gradually became colder.
He pointedly reminded: "Also, show some of the courage you once had as a fighting emperor. It's okay to be worried and vigilant, but on the basis that I am stronger than you, you should not show your worries and vigilance. Be wary, this makes me wonder how you became a strong person."
Hai Bodong was stunned when he was told this.
However, this reminder also touched my heartstrings.
His eyes were slightly focused, and his waist was straightened a bit.
Which strong man has not been a genius?
Whether it's a dark horse or a white horse, they have all experienced relative troughs and peaks. Who doesn't have a little bit of pride and stubbornness in their heart?
Therefore, strong people are proud and stubborn.
Because on the path of cultivation, there are many bottleneck periods that you cannot get through if you are not confident. If you are not stubborn, you will not know where your limits are. Only when a cultivator breaks through his own limits can he see a higher realm. Only then can one climb to a higher realm.
This is inevitable.
After all, cultivation is not a child's play. Success or failure depends on one thought, and life and death depend on one thought.
Only with confidence can you maintain your best condition.
Haibodong gradually regained some confidence.
certainly.
He is old.
That pride is no longer pride.
Instead, it became something deeper like "confidence."
However, there are still some questions to be asked…
For example...
"You said there is a way to solve the seal, but what exactly is this method?"
Looking at Lu Yuan's back, Haibodong asked hurriedly.
Lu Yuan did not look back.
Walk slowly into the wind and sand.
But his voice passed through the wind and sand.
fell into Hai Bodong’s ears:
"The trouble should end it."
"I really can't break the spell on you."
"But, I can catch the person who put the curse on you!"
