The next day, 7:10.
"Yesterday, Ai Lei found out that the most suitable real-life environment for entering the void is the Eternal Forest in the southeastern area of Muqi's National Park. I have obtained approval from Mr. Muqi. We can move freely in this area for twelve hours. He will Send an exploration team to seal off this area and prohibit others from entering or exiting."
In the staggeringly spacious carriage, Zhou Li sat in his seat, bowed slightly, and said methodically while looking at the map in front of him: "Our mission preparation time is long, but the action time is very short. In After we arrive at our destination, Ivey, the two of you immediately arrange the protective devices and test them in advance to avoid problems at critical moments.
"good."
After Ain and Aiwei agreed to the errand, Zhou Li put Azi's name aside, raised his head, and said to her: "Azi, take Kaya and Xiaoke to where Ailei is. This You are responsible for maintaining order during this operation. I will have something else to do later, and you will be able to control the overall situation."
Ah Zi knew that Zhou Li arranged this task for himself because he was afraid that he would be worried. She cast a grateful look at Zhou Li, then nodded and responded softly: "Okay, please don't worry."
"Um."
Zhou Li nodded, then looked at Don Quixote aside, and said to her: "You will be responsible for controlling the protective device in a while. No matter who else, even if Magnum II is resurrected, don't worry about it. Anyone wants to If you want to force your way in, just activate the protective device and beat him half to death. Leave it to me."
"OK."
Don Quixote accepted the task calmly, and then said to Zhou Li nonchalantly: "Can you please try not to use the example of the Magnum family next time? After all, I was once a Magnum knight. "
"Oh." Zhou Lihuan suddenly understood and quickly changed his mind: "The second generation who gave birth to a son without sexual intercourse, is that okay?"
After getting Don Quixote's helpless agreement, Zhou Li waved his hand and continued: "This time Eluma and I will not participate in the event because we need to investigate a matter. This matter cannot be discussed for the time being until the results are announced. We will tell you as soon as possible later.”
"good."
No one had any objection. Although Zhou Li would always play the backbone for them, in fact, apart from Zhou Li himself, there were many people in this team who were capable of taking over the co-ordinating power. Whether it is Ain and Azi, who are in charge of large-scale chambers of commerce, or Don Quixote, who has been tempered for a long time, they are all capable of standing alone outside.
"When we arrive at the intersection, I will get off the car and you will carry out your mission."
Zhou Li paused for a moment. He looked at everyone seriously, and finally his eyes fell on Ah Zi: "Remember, it is impossible not to let emotions affect decision-making. But what I hope is that you can turn emotions into motivation. , rather than blind impulse.”
"I know."
Ah Zi nodded calmly. As another kind of stress monster, the more excited or agitated Ah Zi is, the clearer her mind becomes and less susceptible to emotional fluctuations. This time, her heart was calm and her brain was extremely clear.
"Um."
Zhou Li felt relieved, after all, Ai Yin was there to help him, and he was not afraid of Ah Zi doing something incorrect in a moment of trance. He glanced out the window and found that he had arrived at the predetermined intersection. He said hello to everyone and left the carriage with Eluma.
The streets in Muqi are very neat, with vibrant green plants on both sides of the road. The stone brick road for passers-by is coated with a layer of warm gold by the sunlight.
"Aren't you curious what we are going to do?"
Zhou Li stood on the stone brick road, looked at Eluma who was struggling to identify the green plants, and asked in a funny and helpless way: "Aren't you curious at all?"
"well?"
Eluma was stunned for a moment after hearing Zhou Li's question. Then she turned her head to look at Zhou Li and replied naturally: "I must be curious."
"Then why didn't you ask?"
"You didn't tell me either."
After a period of silence, Zhou Li ruffled Eluma's hair that had just been arranged, and then pressed Eluma's forehead, which was waving her teeth and fists, to stop her violence: "We are going to find Mr. Muqi."
"Oh~~"
Eluma seemed to have guessed it, and she let out a long voice. Then she tilted her head and asked in confusion: "Didn't we look for him before?"
"He had too many scruples at that time."
Zhou Li narrowed his eyes, snapped his fingers, and after the invisible black mist covered the surroundings, he whispered to Eluma: "Don't you think Mr. Muqi is too trusting of me?"
"ah?"
Looking at the confused Eluma, Zhou Li pinched her nose angrily and explained, "Have we known Mr. Muqi before?"
"do not know."
"Then how did he know that I was going to rebel against God?"
Zhou Li looked at Eluma, his dark pupils were deep: "You must know that all the brave men before me were bound to the gods at least while they were alive. What Mr. Muqi said to us that day is too light. It’s called rebellion, but to be honest, it’s an attempt to rebel against everyone. Don’t forget, except for Muqi, all countries have their own beliefs.”
Eluma was startled for a moment, then a look of surprise appeared on her face, but she explained to Mr. Muqi herself: "I said in case, Mr. Muqi got information about the battle at Goblin Farmhouse Woolen cloth?"
"The information we release to the outside world is true."
Zhou Li whispered while walking on the road: "Archbishop Leard and the nobles invaded the territory of the brave. During the seizure, the brave brave summoned the goddess of life and had a friendly interaction. The goddess of life announced that the brave was hers. Man, he repelled the ambitious Leard and the nobles, and defended the rights of the brave."
"Ah, this is the information we released." Eluma nodded, then immediately reacted and realized something was wrong: "That's wrong, this kind of information will only make others think that you have a good relationship with the gods, which is the opposite."
"That's right."
Zhou Li looked at the vendors hawking on the street, his eyes flashing with dim black mist, and added: "Besides, don't you think this time, everything is too coincidental?"
"Kaya was rescued by Lid by coincidence, and Linghai coincidentally missed all the opportunities to meet Kaya, who did not form a physical body. Ain and Kaya were rescued by Xiao Ke by coincidence, and Xiao Ke was Mu Qi Mr. Muqi’s student, it just so happened that Mr. Muqi was able to help Kaya separate the cards, and he happened to want to see Kaya, so we came here.”
"this……"
Eluma frowned slightly and said with some confusion: "This can't be said to be a coincidence."
"Yes, it's not a complete coincidence." At this point, Zhou Li was a little discouraged. "But I don't know why. I just feel that something is not right. It just doesn't feel right."
At this time, Zhou Li felt a burst of fatigue. This fatigue came from his heart. It was caused by his constant calculation of everything, including himself. He sighed softly, waved his hand slightly tiredly and said: "Forget it, I should be careless..."
"Then believe in yourself."
Feeling the sudden warm embrace, Zhou Li was stunned.
As if aware of Zhou Li's deep tiredness, Eluma stepped forward, hugged him tightly, and said in a soft voice: "You have to believe in yourself, and I believe in you too."
Zhou Li stared blankly at the girl in front of him. For a long time, he chuckled and rubbed Eluma's long, silky hair. Then he breathed a long sigh of relief, dispelled the inexplicable boredom in his chest, and said, "I believe You once, okay.”
"Hey hey hey."
Eluma laughed twice, not at all the calming and beautiful look she had just now. Zhou Li glanced at the time, then the black mist dispersed, and said softly:
"See you then."
As soon as he finished speaking, two men in white with green stripes slowly emerged from the green plants on the side, "growing" like part of the green plants, and appeared in front of Zhou Li and Eluma.
"Hello, respected Lord Brave, Ms. God Envoy."
After the standard salute, the leading man faced Zhou Li and said to him in a deep voice: "Mr. Muqi asked us to bring you a message."
"Xiao Ke promised you, now give it to you."
Zhou Li and Eluma looked at each other, then he nodded and said to the man, "Okay, lead the way."
The two people bowed to them, then they stretched out their hands and leaned on the green plants beside them. Soon, a "door" made of vines and grass appeared in front of them. The leading man made an invitation gesture, and then said to the two of them: "Please come in, the instructor is waiting for you."
Zhou Li wrote down the word "teacher" and then led Eluma into the door. The moment Zhou Li stepped through the door, after a moment of trance, they arrived at the top of the tower.
White enveloped Zhou Li and Eluma, as well as the old man sitting quietly in the sun. The moment the two appeared on the top of the tower, the old man opened his eyes. At this moment, the old man was no longer the kind grandfather next door. He conveyed a signal to Zhou Li. He was the only non-combat professional in the world who had been given a god-given level.
"You're still here."
The old man withdrew his edge, chuckled and said to Zhou Li, "I thought you would give up on meeting me after hearing what I told you that day."
"Then tell the gods what's going on here and let them catch you?"
Zhou Li asked back with a teasing tone, then he looked around the pure white space and said with some emotion: "Sure enough, the God's gift is well-deserved. The depth of this white and the range of light have extremely standard limits. It perfectly controls the quality of the soul produced by the chair, allowing it to take care of your body as a substitute for your soul. It’s amazing.”
"Excellent, some little tricks, not surprising."
The old man heard what Zhou Li meant, but without any emotion, he just said calmly: "There is no way, I am old, and my soul is also old. I really can't survive for long without some skills. I heard that His Highness the Brave has obtained After leaving the Twilight Forest, it seems that I will have to rely on you for my life from now on."
"Stop joking with me, a junior, sir."
If it were Magnum III, Zhou Li would have kicked his nose and face to make him kneel down and call him dad twice. But Mr. Muqi was different. Zhou Li felt strong pressure from this dying old man: "You'd better live well, otherwise when I find out the truth about Chonghuang, you are no longer here, what a pity it would be." .”
"I borrowed the good words from the brave man."
The old man glanced at the dumbfounded Eluma, then withdrew his gaze without leaving any trace, and continued: "Let's forget about the meaningless conversation. You came here just to get the answer, right?"
Zhou Li nodded. He had no idea how to play tricks on the old man. After all, what teachers are best at is fighting wits and courage with students.
"Okay, I'll tell you the answer."
As if appreciating Zhou Li's calmness, the old man's tone was a little joyful. He looked at Zhou Li and said to him calmly: "I trust you because of one thing."
"It's simple, I know Kendi, and you beat up that old immortal thing from the Shadow Guild, that's all."
"ah?"
Zhou Li couldn't figure out this answer. He was stunned for a moment, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Of course, there's another thing."
The old man gasped as if he was joking. Then he looked at Zhou Li, stretched out his hand, and grabbed an invisible "ink" floating in the air.
When the ink gradually dissipated and Zhou Li's shocked expression was revealed, the old man continued to speak:
"What Victoria helped cannot be our enemy."
*********************************************
"Didn't you hide away?"
In the majestic palace filled with books, the girl's jade feet rested gently on the cold ground, but her lovely and intellectual cheeks glowed with a beautiful pink color. She tilted her head, a puzzled look on her face. The girl looked at the huge book spread out in front of her. This book that was very disproportionate to her size was filled with strange words. What was surprising was that the words in this book were not written by the girl, but were freely arranged and combined. As if it has a will of its own.
"Sister, I told you."
Victoria appeared behind the girl, her smaller body surrounded by dark chains. She looked at the mysterious girl, sighed softly, and then slowly said: "You can't influence him."
"Ah."
The girl's slender fingers gently touched Victoria's lips. A hint of extreme madness appeared in her pale golden eyes, but it soon turned into infinite rationality: "Sister, what on earth are you going to do?"
"how about you?"
Victoria was not afraid of the chains on her body at all, even though they were the chains of nothingness used to bind the God of Sin. She looked at the mysterious girl calmly and said calmly: "Isn't it too much for you to suddenly run into my house, lock me, and use my books?"
"Isn't it because you are so stupid?"
Cutely angry, the girl rubbed Victoria's smooth cheeks, and then looked at the book with confusion: "So, why can't I influence him? He is just a platinum, how could he resist our existence? Woolen cloth?"
"Ah."
This time, it was Victoria's turn to snort. She glanced at the girl with deep disdain in her eyes.
Fool, if Zhou Li can't be influenced, how can I let him see Kaya?
That woman named Eluma is the one who has always been against us.
