"Brother Cheng, thank you very much this time."
The Sanxing Station is very lively. After this night, the two parties will go to different destinations.
"General Song, there is no need to be polite. It's just a small favor. Are you going to patrol the south again next?" Cheng Lu asked, picking up the wine glass.
"That's right, there has never been peace in this world. I don't know when the night dire will sneak up on me, just like this time." Song Yi also looked a little tired. He was not afraid of hardship or tiredness, he was just afraid that it would never end. However, the war with the Night Dire has lasted for thousands of years, and there is still no victory or defeat. This is a war with no end in sight.
"Sometimes I wonder, what would I be doing now if there were no Night Dire? Should I open a martial arts gym or a bodyguard agency?" Song Yi said with a slightly tipsy look.
Cheng Lu shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Without Night Dire, can there be no war? There is no contradiction among the ten countries in the world. I think you will most likely still become a general, but the enemy has changed from Night Dire to human race."
"The ten kingdoms in the world, East China, Chaoyang Kingdom and Lietu Kingdom, are one camp. Cangshan, Yuxia, Mianlong and Yupu are another camp. Qianjiaonu Kingdom remains neutral. Although the mysterious Zhuri Ancient Kingdom and Yongye Kingdom are not involved, They compete with other countries but are hostile to each other. Thanks to the alliance and academy integration plan proposed by Lei Zun, countries have deepened exchanges with each other. Interpersonal relationships are complicated and conflicts have been divided, and today's peaceful situation is achieved." Song Yi sighed with emotion. road.
The five alliances Song Yi mentioned were the Spirit Pact Alliance that only recruits those with the Spirit Pact, the Beast Pact Alliance that only recruited those with the Beast Pact, the Weapon Pact that only recruited those with the Weapon Pact, the Yushan Alliance that only recruited those with the Miscellaneous Pact, and the Xuan Pact Alliance that only recruited those with the Mysterious Pact. Only those above can join the Zhixuan Alliance. These alliances are not divided by country, but by different cultivation methods and different realms.
The eight top universities are distributed throughout the world of spirits. Enrolling in any of them can change the trajectory of your life. have:
The Imperial First Union Academy was jointly established by the three empires of Dongguo, Chaoyang and Lietu;
The First Royal Academy jointly established by the four empires of Cangshan, Yuxia, Mianlong and Yupu;
Wuwei College is jointly established by three of the world's top chambers of commerce, Wuwei, Fuyuan and Wanju;
Yushan College is a top civilian institution jointly established by the Yushan League, the Beast Pact League, and the Soldier Pact League;
Qianjiao Academy, which is affiliated to Qianjiao Girl Kingdom;
Jointly established by the Spiritual Pact Alliance and the Zhixuan Alliance, it is a Tao-seeking academy that only accepts top elites;
Zhuri Academy located in the ancient country of Zhuri;
Night Capital Academy located in Yongye Kingdom.
Compared with the four major colleges, the enrollment quota of the four major colleges is much smaller, but the overall strength is not weak at all. Compared with the four major colleges, the four major colleges teach a wider range of subjects, and they not only recruit candidates, but also many Elites who graduate from the academy can play an extremely important role in various fields even if they have no cultivation.
"Brother Cheng, when you break through, you can become a general. At that time, there were more of us fighting side by side. Come, have one last drink." Song Yi and Cheng Lu clinked glasses for the last time, and then they dispersed.
At dawn, Song Yi headed south of Rising Sun City, while Cheng Lu's team continued north.
Because it was fully loaded with transparent stones, the carriage was not very fast, and the scenery in the wild was not pleasant either. The trek was very sleepy.
"Ahead is Yunfeng Station. After Yunfeng Station and further ahead is Shanhe Station. The teleportation formation is right next to Shanhe Station. Through the teleportation formation, we can enter the Northland." Cheng Lu explained to Zhan Yue on the side.
"Captain, the inns along the way are really compact. You can basically rush from one inn to another in one day." Zhan Yue breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to rest after a long day's walking. The delivery task was so boring, far less exciting than that night.
Cheng Lu smiled and said: "How can such a good thing happen? Dongguo's financial resources are not infinite. It's just that our road is relatively prosperous and it is a key trade route, so there are many inns. Other places may not have so many inns. By the way, Yunfengyi and Shanheyi can be reached by a quick horse in one day, but we can't get up quickly while pulling the goods. We will probably have to camp in the wild tomorrow night. I will tell you about the precautions for camping in the wild."
"I'm all ears." Zhan Yue replied. The wilderness is very dangerous, but sometimes sleeping in the open is unavoidable. He needs many things.
study.
After staying in Yunfeng Station for one night, they didn't encounter any problems. After getting ready, everyone set off to Shanhe Station early the next day.
As the sun was about to set, it turned out that they were still far from reaching Shanhe Station.
"Set up camp and prepare to spend the night." Cheng Lu gave the order, and the entire convoy stopped instantly. Everyone was busy, as if they were setting up some formation.
Cheng Lu threw a book to Zhan Yue, "There are three sets of formations recorded here, which you must understand in the future. Take a good look."
Zhan Yue opened this formation book, which even contained advanced formation formation methods. However, he immediately figured out that these formations were only for Night Dire, so each force generously disclosed the formation formation methods. As for the formations that can deal with the human race, they are the treasures of various forces. How can they be allowed to spread easily?
"Elementary Bright Light Array requires 30 clear stones to be deployed. The array covers the entire land. It can drive away low-level night terrors and frighten intermediate night terrors. It is suitable for camping in the wild. The array can last for one day." See here , Zhan Yue knew that other soldiers were busy setting up the primary Mingguang array at the moment. They first surrounded the carriage, arranged arrays around the cargo, and then set up camp in the array. Each tent could sleep 3 people.
"Intermediate light formation requires 3,000 transparent stones to set up. The formation covers an area of one mile and can drive away or even kill intermediate night dire. The formation can last for three days."
"The advanced bright light array requires one hundred thousand transparent stones to be deployed. The array covers an area ten miles away and can defend against advanced night-dires. The array can last for seven days and nights."
The top level formations can even defend against high-level Night Dires, but the consumption is also staggering and terrifying. Seven days and nights require one hundred thousand Clear Stones. They only transported tens of thousands of Clear Stones during this trip. The entire Rising Sun City's monthly surplus is not enough. Set up a high-level bright light array. It can be seen that this formation can only be used at very critical times.
As night falls, more than a dozen low-level bright light formations are particularly dazzling in the dark night. With these formations, you will naturally not be afraid of the mid-level night dire. It's a pity that 30 clear stones are needed to set up the formation once, and it can only last for one night. Such expensive consumption is not something ordinary people can afford.
"Brother Zhan, have a good rest. There are people on duty outside." Inside the tent, Cheng Lu was lying on the marching quilt, looking at the top of the tent, wondering what he was thinking.
"Brother Zhan, where is your family from?" Cheng Lu asked curiously. He couldn't hear Zhan Yue's accent.
"I came from a far away place through a caravan." Zhan Yue had already made up his background.
"Are you homesick?" Cheng Lu asked again.
"Home?" Zhan Yue looked at the watch on his left hand. His family members had passed away one after another, and the only one he was close to was his mentor, so he didn't feel uncomfortable when he traveled to this world because his There are very few concerns.
"It seems that I asked a question that I shouldn't have asked." Cheng Lu apologized, "I am not from Rising Sun City. My hometown is in Corona City, a small town on the edge of the East Kingdom. There is really no development prospect there, so I I came to the City of the Rising Sun. I accidentally joined the army and became the captain of the youth garrison. I had many missions in the army. The last time I went home was five years ago. I don’t know if my younger brothers and sisters still remember me as my brother. .When I enter the realm of the Mysterious Realm and am promoted to a general, I will definitely ask the city lord for a long vacation and go back to see it. It can be regarded as a return to my hometown in honor and glory."
"Brother Cheng, haven't you considered bringing all your family members to Rising Sun City? This will make it easier to take care of them." Zhan Yue asked doubtfully.
Cheng Lu explained: "Two words, no money. My salary is actually not low, but there is a genetic disease in my family. Unfortunately, my father and my younger brother are both sick. This chronic disease can be said to be a gold-swallowing beast. The consumption of Rising Sun City It’s not low, I can’t afford to take them all over. It would be good to let them save some money to buy medicine in a small border town. At least that small town is also under the Tongming Tower, so their safety is not worried.”
"How much does it cost to cure their diseases?" Zhan Yue asked curiously.
Cheng Lu shook her head and said bitterly: "It can't be cured. I've been looking for doctors and medicines for many years, but no one can do it. I heard that there are four major families in Qianjiaonu Country, which are the four major families of the ancient alchemy inheritance. If they Maybe we can find a solution if we take action. Unfortunately, Qianjiao Country is far away, and secondly, I have no way to seek medicine."
"The Kingdom of Qianjiao Nu? Which country is the only female emperor? I heard that there are many ancient ruins and many ancient inheritances in their territory, and the level of alchemy and weapon refining far exceeds ours. Although they are coveted by the outside world, everyone who has an idea for them will eat them. Don't just walk around in circles. Even the two mysterious countries, Zhuri Ancient Kingdom and Yongye Kingdom, are very polite to Qianjiao Girl Country. This is also the reason why Qianjiao Girl Country has remained neutral for thousands of years." Zhan Yue remembered what was said in the book.
While the two were chatting, a pair of eyes had already locked onto their tent.
"When that kid walks out of the camp tomorrow morning, he will be killed." The man in black hid in the night, playing with the bloody flying knife in his hand. Then he took out a red jade token from his arms and stroked it carefully. "I accidentally got this treasure during the last mission. I didn't choose to hand it over, and the leader didn't notice it. It seems that the leader doesn't know everything. Talk about loyalty and dedication. In the end, it's not just to trick us. Their lives are threatened to allow us to carry out the mission. This body is just their tool. When this mission is over, my points should be able to exchange for a year's worth of antidote. With this token, I can at least be there. If I stay in this place for a year, I will definitely find a way to cure it, and then I will be truly free."
