A few days passed, and we saw that it was already entering late February.
This morning, Tang Zhao woke up from his bed in the camp and stared at the beams for a long time, only to feel that his mood improved slightly.
In recent days, as time passed by day by day, Tang Zhao gradually entered a state of anxiety and often couldn't sleep at night.
He rarely felt such pressure. The last time he was so anxious was when he was selected as the wielder of the Haechi Sword and had to face the unknown Demon Cave and Heavenly Demon at the age of twelve.
But what he needed to worry about most at that time was his own life, and he was faced with his unpredictable future. He didn't consider the consequences of success or failure at all, and the pressure of the devil's cave was not on him. But now he is burdened with the lives of the people of the state, the expectations of the swordsmen and swordsmen inside and outside the team, and the results that are far away unknown.
Considering Tang Zhao's character, the latter puts more pressure on him.
Moreover, this kind of pressure is not only given to him by the outside world, but also put by himself. And the more no one urges and pressures him, the greater the pressure he puts on himself.
It can only be said that fortunately he is already a swordsman, and his body has been reborn and is no longer susceptible to mortal diseases. Otherwise, his hair will fall out one by one, and sooner or later he will become a Mediterranean or young whitehead.
Being so anxious doesn't mean that he can't handle the pressure, but that he actually does pretty well.
He is always emotionally stable and kind in front of others, and he can also complete learning, coordination, decision-making and other tasks well without any signs of nervousness.
No one could have imagined that this sunny boy couldn't sleep at night and didn't dare to open his eyes when he woke up in the morning. As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt like he was in debt, like an ant on a hot pot.
But today he was in a better mood, because he finally had some extra good news.
In the morning, as usual, he first went to the workshop for talisman research - it was a converted classroom, and now Xue Xianyun and his disciples sit here to study the talisman array. There are rune-style books collected from all over the place, rare materials brought back from the front line and the Demon Prison, and the illusion props developed by Tang Zhao before. The conditions are even better than those at Zhuoyu Villa.
Under the auspices of Xue Xianyun, the research on Fu Shi can be said to have advanced rapidly. At least this time it was academically successful, but in terms of the time scale of the task, it was not fast enough and it has not yet demonstrated considerable results.
Tang Zhaoroutine went on a tour and expressed his request to speed up the progress as gently as possible. After all, Xue Xianyun was his master. He was not rushed by him. Instead, he comforted him and said, "It will take a day or two at most. We will separate the information exchange formation from this teleportation formation, and then it will be like the one you developed. That thing... is like a transmitter. You can send information unilaterally, and shout in the ear of that thing twelve hours a day: 'Send the message, do you want to pick it up? Send the message, do you want to pick it up?'"
Tang Zhao thought to himself: This sounds too annoying. I didn’t go there just to hate it, right?
After chatting with his master for a few words and receiving comfort from Xue Xianyun in return, he felt better and left the research center.
After leaving the door, he was going to find Zhang Rong in the Museum of Literature and History, which was originally a library, when he heard someone behind him say: "Commander Tang!"
Tang Zhao turned around and saw a young woman running over.
This woman was in her twenties, with almond-shaped eyes and arched eyebrows, a sweet face, and slightly brown hair. She was a true "yellow-haired girl."
Tang Zhao smiled and said: "Li Swordsman."
This woman is Li Rongrong, a swordsman from the Jiandi Division. She is a swordsman from the same batch as Mai Shiyu. She became a swordsman within a year or two, and it was about the same time that Tang Zhao became a swordsman.
Mai Shiyu's group of swordsmen have relatively low qualifications in the Land Investigation Department. They all started from the bottom line of the sixth-grade swordsman official position. For example, Mai Shiyu, if he hadn't happened to make great contributions during the Suocheng Incident, and his immediate boss Feng Zhilie was gone, he probably wouldn't have been able to become the official garrison envoy. Li Rongrong didn't have such luck, so naturally she still served as deputy envoy.
This time she was selected into the team because of her suitability as Sword Elephant, and she was originally going to be Tang Zhao's reserve teammate. But Tang Zhao has never chosen teammates, and the place is kept strictly confidential. No one can enter or leave, so the selected swordsmen stay in the training camp and work as Tang Zhao's temporary subordinates.
Nowadays, Chaoyang Camp is considered a high-class one, and everyone who cooks and sweeps the floor is a swordsman.
Tang Zhao and Li Swordsman have been working together for a month, and they are quite familiar with each other. His impression of her is that she is more aggressive than Sister Mai, but not as mature as Sister Mai, and her personality is like that of a child.
Yes, although Li Rongrong was three or four years older than Tang Zhao, Tang Zhao felt that her temperament was childish and not mature at all.
Li Rongrong came to Tang Zhao with a solemn and high-spirited expression, and said: "Commander Tang, I have made progress again today. There are only three steps left before the light in the hall."
She stared at Tang Zhao, as if waiting for his praise, and Tang Zhao responded: "Really? It's really good."
Although it was a compliment, his tone was light, that is, he was polite.
Li Rongrong was a little disappointed, but then she cheered up and said: "I was ten steps away before, and one step closer in the next three days, and never stopped. Sooner or later I will be able to touch that light. Just wait, I will be yours My teammates." After saying that, he turned and left.
Tang Zhao stopped her and said: "Deputy Ambassador Li——"
Li Rongrong turned around and Tang Zhao said: "Sorry, I said before that you are not suitable to be my teammate."
Li Rongrong said briskly again: "I know. When you left that light in the lobby, you said early in the morning that only those who can get close to and touch the light can become your teammates. I couldn't get within ten steps before, of course. I am no longer qualified. Now I am adapting step by step and moving forward step by step. After these days of hard work, the light is now only three steps away. I will definitely be able to contact that light before the mission time limit. Then we will be teammates."
Tang Zhao sighed and said: "Deputy Envoy..."
Li Rongrong said: "I am not the deputy envoy here. If you don't want to call me by my name, you can just call me Xiao Li."
Tang Zhao was a few years younger than Li Rongrong, so naturally he would not call her Xiao Li, and said: "Miss Li, actually you don't understand. The purpose of setting up that light is not to select a teammate who has worked hard and got closer step by step. , but to select a teammate who is naturally suitable for that light. In other words, you must touch the sun from the beginning, even pick it up like playing, and fundamentally have no scruples. If you fail to get close the first time, There will be no chance again.”
Li Rongrong was greatly disappointed and said: "Why is this..."
Tang Zhao explained: "The target we have to face is thousands of times stronger than the light I set. It can be said that there is no comparison at all. Therefore, only those who are completely immune to damage have the chance to get close. As long as I have A little damage will turn into ashes. This cannot be changed by hard work."
Seeing Li Rongrong getting more and more frustrated, he said slowly: "Not to mention you, the swordsman from the house two days ago was also rejected by me."
Li Rongrong murmured: "I heard about it. Was he also eliminated because of his lack of ability? They also said..."
There is only one swordsman named Fang in Chaoyang Camp, and he was the second batch summoned a few days ago. Because Tang Zhao made it clear to the first group of swordsmen that there were no suitable teammates among them. He originally thought that he would stop there. The camp had enough personnel, and the inside and outside were temporarily closed. He just waited for the time to go into the water alone. Unexpectedly, Marquis Gao Yuan immediately selected the second batch of swordsmen for him.
This second batch of swordsmen are not just in the direction of light and fire. Instead, there were various special sword elephants, and anyone who might be able to escape the power of the sun with their special abilities was called to give them a try.
For example, Fang Swordsman, his sword image is related to space. He has sword skills and can hide himself in a special independent space, disconnected from the outside space, but still able to see each other. In other words, he is "virtual", and when he is hidden in a special space, he is invincible, and no attack can harm him.
Because his sword and elephant sword skills are special, even unique in Yunzhou, his talent is high, and he has made great achievements, so this kid is somewhat arrogant. Li Rongrong doesn't have a good relationship with him, and they are not in the same batch. Don't know much about him.
Tang Zhao said: "Outsiders are saying that he disobeys the command and offends me, so I don't want him? No. He just failed the test. He hid in the space at first and could easily get close to the light. But that It’s just the first level. Later, I condensed the light into one point, and the mass and energy increased simultaneously. Then due to gravity, the surrounding space was distorted. His space cannot be avoided."
If Tang Zhao hadn't rescued him in time, Fang Swordsman would have been torn to pieces in his own space.
Li Rongrong whispered: "After the first level, is there a second level?"
Tang Zhao said: "Yes, it's just limited by my ability. Otherwise, if the quality is increased a hundred times a thousand times, there can be a third and fourth level, then the results can be truly screened. I am not deliberately making things difficult for anyone. I am just putting the test to the test. It's just adjusted to be closer to the target state. Even if it is mobilized in this way, the power is still less than one ten thousandth of the target. In the face of absolute power, there is no difference between space collapse and instant vaporization. The only safe way is not to get close."
Li Rongrong's heart sank when she heard this, and she suddenly said seriously: "But it's so dangerous, can you stay safe just by commanding me?"
Tang Zhao smiled and said: "I can't say that I'm sure of it. But I'm not certain of death, right? It's important for us to take risks when it comes to important matters related to the common people, but taking risks is to gain something, not to show off your bravery but be useless. It’s no use. There’s a difference between giving it a try and risking death, right? Miss Li, if you do your own thing well, you’ve done me a lot of favors.”
Li Rongrong was depressed, unable to accept the loss of hope, and unable to argue. She bowed briefly and turned around.
Tang Zhao looked at her back, suddenly feeling a little sad, and said softly: "I guess I can't find my companion in this world, right?"
