Outside Rising Sun City, ten carriages pulling fully loaded transparent stones were walking on the broad avenue. On both sides of the carriage were forty Rising Sun City soldiers riding horses. The person in charge of this mission was Cheng Lu. As a talent at the ninth level of Yuling, Cheng Lu already has the strength to compete with the first level of the Star Profound Realm, and can escort several carts of transparent stones with more than enough strength.
Cheng Lu was riding a tall horse at the front of the team. To his left was Zhan Yue, the weakest among the forty people.
"The sunshine this month is quite abundant, and there is a large surplus of transparent stones. Except for those sold to the people, the rest need to be transported to the northern volcanoes for dyeing. The fire-attributed transparent stones are more valuable. Such tasks almost every few months It will be carried out once, and this is already my fifth escort." Cheng Lu introduced.
"I see, the Beidi Volcano is very far away from here, almost at the northernmost point of the Eastern Kingdom. How long will this trip take?" Zhan Yue asked curiously while sitting on horseback.
Cheng Lu explained with a smile: "If we really rely only on horse power, this trip will not take more than a year and a half. There is a stronghold in the north of Rising Sun City, and there is an ancient teleportation formation there. That formation just leads to the north. There are also interoperable formations in the North to return to that stronghold. So in fact, the trip only takes about half a month. The teleportation formation is very easy to use, but it is a pity that we have long lost the method of setting up the formation and can only borrow it from our ancestors The remaining formations.”
"It turns out that there is a teleportation array connecting the two places, so I asked why I wanted to go to a place so far away from the volcano in the North." Zhan Yue sighed in his heart that this teleportation array that ignores distance is really easy to use, but he doesn't know if the goddess of transparency can do it. .
"How did such a magical formation get lost?" Zhan Yue wondered. The importance of this formation is self-evident.
Cheng Lu shook his head and sighed: "How do I know? But there is a high probability that it was lost in the civil strife of the human race. After the death of the goddess of transparency, the human race has never been unified again. Legend has it that the Night Dire clan was almost wiped out. Unfortunately, the civil strife of the human race allowed them to slow down. After all, they took over nine out of ten of the wilderness, while a large number of humans huddled in the place illuminated by the Transparent Tower. Despite this, the various forces of the human race were still arguing, and they seemed not to take the Night Dire clan seriously. . Fortunately, two powerful men, Lei Zun and Jian Zun, came out of the blue, and the two temporarily unified the human front, so that the big disputes disappeared for the time being, but the small frictions still continued."
"Lei Zun, Sword Zun..." Zhan Yue wrote down these two names.
"Do you know about Yejun's rebellion?" Cheng Lu asked again.
Zhan Yue nodded, "I saw it in the book, and it seems that the person who assassinated the saint before was Ye Jun's people."
Cheng Lu nodded and added: "Between the Chaoyang Kingdom and the Eastern Kingdom, there once existed a small country called the Night Kingdom. Although the Night Kingdom is small, its domestic resources are very rich, and there are even several ancient ruins. Later, legend has it that The court of the Night Kingdom, from the king to the ministers, was possessed by the Night Dire clan, making the Night Kingdom a stronghold of the Night Dire clan. The Chaoyang Kingdom and the East Kingdom jointly sent troops to annihilate it, and everything is normal up to this point."
Cheng Lu paused and sighed: "All the possessed Night Dire clan in the Ye Kingdom's court have been wiped out, but the lineage of the Prince of the Night Kingdom still exists. The two countries should have withdrawn their troops, but the Prince of the Night Kingdom is still there. Unfortunately, the two The kings of the country were all obsessed with profit, and even forged some evidence, saying that the prince's lineage was also possessed by Night Dire, and then eradicated his lineage. The two countries divided the territory and resources of Night Kingdom. Who knew that the prince had a son? In the human world, it was Ye Lord. A hundred years later, Ye Lord became powerful. It was the Ye Lord's rebellion that caused Chaoyang Kingdom and Dong Kingdom to suffer heavy losses. In order to stabilize the situation, Jian Zun took action. Unfortunately, Ye Lord's strength was extraordinary, and the sword master I was unable to kill him and allowed him to escape."
"Brother Cheng, how do you know so clearly?" Zhan Yue frowned and asked curiously, shouldn't this matter be top secret?
"This is not news that Lord Ye has made public. Otherwise, why would he only seek trouble from the East Kingdom and the Chaoyang Kingdom? But a hundred years have passed. Even if everyone knows that what happened at the beginning was the fault of the two empires, so what? Now it has been It's impossible to help Ye Jun restore his country. What's more, even if he helps him restore his country, can he forgive the two empires? I remember Lei Zun came to mediate, but it ended in failure." Cheng Lu said, although he is from the East Kingdom People, but not unreasonable people.
Zhan Yue said with emotion: "Yes, if I were Lord Ye, I would definitely not be willing to let it go. When Ye Kingdom was destroyed, Sword Master Lei Zun did not take action, but now that he has come to seek revenge, Sword Master Lei Zun has taken action. In his case It seems like, isn’t this just going astray?”
"Hey, who says it's not the case? Even if the two seniors Lei Zun and Sword Master didn't mean this, they were the ones who were deceived in the Night Kingdom incident, but the result is this. This kind of thing is not uncommon among the human race, and among all countries The hatred between the two will pop up at some point. Alas, the so-called unity is really a pipe dream... If Lei Zun and Sword Zun hadn't suppressed them by force, otherwise the human race would have been destroyed by mutual attacks before the Night Dire could attack. ." Cheng Lu's eyes were full of pessimism.
Zhan Yue only felt a headache, because no matter from the standpoint of Sword Master Lei Zun or Dongguo, now he had to kill Lord Ye, even if they were the ones who made the mistake first, otherwise this hatred would only last forever. Endless. What Lord Ye wants is obviously not as simple as the two empires admitting their mistakes, so there is no possibility of peace talks.
Zhan Yue still remembered Mi Hongchen's words, because countless lives had been killed in Yejun's rebellion, including nine out of ten innocent people, and Yejun's justice had long been lost. His attack on the Saint further illustrates this point. He is no longer against two empires, but against the entire human race. The nature of things has long since changed.
"Let's not talk about this. Even the Lei Zun Sword Master can't solve the problem, and we two ants can't change anything. By the way, you must keep the map I gave you before. Once you get lost in the wild, you will lose your way. It is equal to certain death. Night is the domain of Night Dire, and humans can only rest in various strongholds, so they must find suitable strongholds to stay during the day. The map records the strongholds on various roads of our Eastern Kingdom." Cheng Lu reminded. road.
"Well, thank you Brother Cheng. It's a pity that we don't have the ability to fly, otherwise it wouldn't be easy to rush to the stronghold?" Zhan Yue said with some regret.
"There are four ways to fly. The first is to practice to the realm of spiritual gods, which you and I will not even think about; the second is to contract with flying animals, and neither you nor I have a chance; the third is to contract flying animals. Well, even if we get a flying skill, it is not something we can get. The flying skills are at least the seventh-grade golden quality (white, green, blue, purple, orange, red, gold color god); the fourth thing is the flying mecha, which is quite rich. It can be done, but unfortunately the flight speed and flight time are far inferior to the other three methods." Cheng Lu said with a smile.
While the two were talking, they arrived at a stronghold. It was getting dark now, and they had to stop here.
In Sunset Wasteland and Sunset Castle, two figures visited late at night.
"Commander, according to the inspection by my subordinates, the mystery of the old castle has not been discovered, you can rest assured." One of the figures said respectfully to the other figure. It was the king of the territory of Sunset Wasteland.
"The Lord Dream Vulture is guarding this place under my orders, and I have to bear a certain responsibility for its death. But I don't know whose hands it died in. By the way, please notify me and let the soul searchers in the Nightmare Clan Those who are active are all active, but they are not allowed to harm the human race, so as not to alert the snake, just ask them to explore the whereabouts of the ghost fruit. As long as we find the ghost fruit, we will naturally find the murderer of the Dream Vulture King." The commander ordered. .
"Follow your orders, you will have great advice and advice that I can't even hope to match." Lord Xingyan on the side complimented.
"Hmph, why have you learned how to flatter the human race?" Moushuai said dissatisfied.
"Um... I'm looking for the commander-in-chief from the bottom of my heart. Take what happened in the Night Kingdom back then. You planned to seize the kings and ministers of the Night Kingdom, but you deliberately let go of the prince's lineage, and you also fought for the extremely talented person along the way. The prince's son protected him and eventually allowed him to grow into the 'Night Lord', becoming a major worry for the human race.
The human race's thoughts are tightly manipulated by you. You said that the Chaoyang Kingdom and the Eastern Kingdom took the opportunity to destroy the Night Kingdom and occupy its territory. They did so. You said that the prince's son will become a strong man in the future and cause turmoil. Then it was just as you expected. Whether it's Chaoyang Kingdom, Dong Kingdom, Lei Zun, Jian Zun or Ye Jun, they were all fooled by you. How can we not admire this god-like plan? " Lord Xingyan said with emotion.
Moushuai smiled slightly, "It's just a small fight. This move is just one of my special moves, but you can't understand my wonderful moves."
"My skill? My master's skill? What do you mean, Moushuai." Lord Xingyan said in confusion.
"It's just a chess terminology of the human race. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles. In order to defeat the human race, I have studied a lot of human knowledge, including chess skills, formations, tactics of war, history, mythology, art, magic, etc. I understand them better than many human races." Shuai explained.
"My Night Dire clan can have a figure like Moushuai, and it is God's will that our clan should prosper!" Lord Xingyan said with sincerity. Moushuai is very different from the brave and reckless men like them. This This is also the reason why all the Night Dire Lords believe in Moushuai.
