The second night passed very quietly.
Christie has completed the manufacturing of the teleportation array module and the magic pattern structure, so this night, Christie is doing the final assembly work.
This kind of assembly was also carried out the previous night, but at that time it was still a bare block, and the construction of the magic pattern had not been completed, so it was just to test the degree of coordination between the modules, and this time the assembly was closer to the final test.
Test the flow and operation of magic power after the magic pattern array is officially completed.
When this step is successful, Christie will try the last and most important step.
Make the power core of the teleportation array. story without name
Unlike other magic devices that often use the crystal core of Warcraft or natural crystal stones, the power core of the space teleportation array is a more complex energy export and circulation device, which requires the crystal core or crystal stone as the power source. The magic power in it is induced and it flows smoothly, because the space teleportation array is extremely sensitive to fluctuations in magic power. A strong or weak frequency hopping may lead to the final failure of the teleportation.
On this night, the presence of wild beasts was almost negligible. After all, Ge Sheng had almost driven away the nearby wild beasts the night before. In a short period of time, this place had become a stronghold occupied by "powerful monsters".
What makes Ge Sheng uneasy is that the storm Christie mentioned is really getting closer.
Although he did not have the profound and exquisite knowledge of Christie, who could determine the coming of a storm within three days through detection at the beach, such an aura of impending rain and wind could not be concealed at any cost.
Even in the woods, Ge Sheng could feel his surroundings, especially the wind above the treetops that was getting faster and faster, and the air gradually began to become moist and thin. The wind that had drifted thousands of miles from the sea was extremely moist. Huge and violent.
Even without witnessing it with his own eyes, Ge Sheng could deduce that when a storm really comes from the sea, there will be days of pouring rain and strong winds that can blow down trees. In such an environment, someone like Christie will Open-air work cannot be completed in any case, and even completed parts must be temporarily dismantled and preserved.
Because of this, Christie proposed the deadline to be completed within three days.
When the first ray of light in the morning penetrated the gaps in the trees, Ge Sheng truly felt the indescribable sleepiness all over his body.
Up to this point, he had not slept for two days and three nights. Although Qianjie did provide mental strengthening and anti-fatigue training, such a high-intensity load finally approached Ge Sheng's limit.
But in contrast, Christie's eyes still looked calm and alert.
From the appearance, you can hardly see the tiredness of this girl.
Christie had disassembled and reassembled the Space Teleportation Array twice, and even tested the magic power ten times. So at this time, she finally put aside the chassis that had taken her two days and two nights and changed hands. The "heart" that makes the space teleportation array is an exquisite heart in another sense.
Only this time, Christie didn't take action right away.
She gave Ge Sheng a calm look, then reached out and took out another candy from her chest.
At this time, Ge Sheng already knew that the source of all this was the exquisite heart transplanted in her heart.
"Eat it." Christie said lightly, and threw it to Ge Sheng with a flick of his hand, and returned to his work without looking back.
Ge Sheng did not try to argue that he was not tired now, because he was indeed exhausted to the extreme. However, Christie's candies always have such magical effects, and Ge Sheng was not in a hurry to eat them.
"What's this?"
It was a milky white candy, a hard solid in the shape of a drop. Ge Sheng was already willing to trust Christie not to harm her, but he was still willing to get to the bottom of it.
"The refreshing candy made from the fruit extract of the Psychedelic Flower has been confirmed to be able to forcibly remove almost all negative feelings from the body. However, this removal is only a cover-up, not a real removal. Therefore, although you will not be sleepy temporarily after taking it, you will still feel sleepy afterwards. You need a long rest." Christie explained calmly: "Yes, the entire plant of the psychedelic flower is a high-risk commodity that is prohibited from circulation. Only alchemists can legally purchase and use it. Although my products are less harmful to the human body , but because it tastes so good, it will form a strong dependence if you take it for a long time. It is your choice whether you want to try it or not.”
Ge Sheng sighed. Although the fatigue was still eroding his whole body, he still put this dangerous refreshing medicine into his pocket and took it in no hurry.
"Tell me a story. This should help me concentrate a little."
Christie was not surprised by Ge Sheng's choice, but once again "pulled out" her complete set of equipment from Linglong's heart, and spoke calmly while focusing on the production of the power core.
"This is the third and final story."
"It has no name."
"That was the most tragic civil war that tore the entire Croft family apart three years ago."
"There is no winner in this civil war, including me, who is regarded by everyone as the biggest beneficiary of this civil war, and I never consider myself the so-called winner of this civil war."
"Before I start telling you all this, I need to tell you a premise and three secrets."
"The biggest premise of this is that even now more and more insiders have begun to believe that I am the hidden deepest instigator of this civil strife, and even said that I planned its outbreak. I have always disdained to defend myself. , and no one deserves my defense.”
"But I'm here to reconfirm that to you."
"I never wanted this civil war to break out and tried to delay or even end it."
"Under this premise, I will tell you the causes and consequences of this civil war."
"At the first time, everyone believed that there were only two parties in this civil war. One was the old faction represented and led by Douglas, and the new faction with Noct Stella as the leader raising the flag of rebellion. In this confrontation, the The new faction wins with absolute superiority.”
"It wasn't until I entered the final stage that I forcibly turned the confrontation between the two sides into a tripartite confrontation."
"But in fact, the forces that ended up in this civil war were not just three, but five forces and three camps."
"The first party is Douglas himself and his supporters, the second party is Noct Stella's rebels, these are correct, but the third party is the mysterious and powerful Lord of the Mountain, who led The main force of the West City is enough to defeat all the defenses of the Croft family from the front, because just like thousands of years ago, what the Croft family and the Yeshi clan have never been proud of is their extremely powerful force."
"When the Croft family was still in civil strife, this force in the West City was the most important judge."
"As we later learned, Yi Lanshan's West City has been secretly trading with Noct Stella from the beginning. It is even said that the resources and accumulation that the two of them rely on to advance to the heavenly realm come from West City. of the collection rather than the Croft family itself.”
"So at this time, the third camp I represented was forced to appear at the end and save the situation."
"This third camp is the fourth party that I represent, the position of the reformists."
"With the fifth party represented by Butler Xia Rang, the supreme coordinator position."
Ge Sheng felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Christie calling his parents by their first names without any emotion, but he didn't say a word.
Christie naturally saw the thoughts in Ge Sheng's mind, but her expression was indifferent and she did not reveal even a hint of her intentions.
"I know which side you are most interested in, so I'll start from that side."
"The rebel party represented by Stella and Noct can also be called the new party."
"In fact, due to Douglas' long-term high-pressure rule, as the bloodline gradually weakened due to time, and as Douglas himself became increasingly irritable and domineering due to old age, the fire of rebellion has been sprouting. However, due to the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, It never really surfaced.”
"With the appearance of Stella and Noct as a dividing line, among the Crofts who have been captive for a long time, there is finally someone who can compete with Douglas, especially after the two of them entered the heaven one after another, and in Douglas After starting to deal with daily affairs inside and outside the family with his approval, this rebellion finally began to slowly gain strength."
"As for why the two of them would rebel against their ancestors at all costs, I have mentioned to you before. This comes from my deformed sister who died just after birth, and me who was deaf and mute from birth to six years old. It’s my disabled daughter who also has dementia.”
"But before that, who planted the seeds of rebellion against them, and who inspired them to join without hesitation in this rebellion that was destined to have no winner and only destroy the entire Croft family?"
"do you know?"
"boy."
Christie asked softly with a slightly confused tone.
Ge Sheng didn't know, and even if he knew, he didn't want to guess.
"This is the first secret I tell you."
"Who is the Lord of West City, Yi Lanshan?"
Ge Sheng's breathing suddenly stopped.
Who is Yi Lanshan? This is a taboo in the entire Ye Ye City, and it is also an almost open mystery.
Ge Sheng didn't even know when he joined Xicheng and when he became the city lord of Xicheng. For those who have seen him, the man who always wears an iron mask with cold and far-reaching eyes is far less terrifying than they imagined. and powerful, but when you think about him in hindsight, he becomes a hovering, dangerous mystery all over again.
Counting heaven and earth, pointing directly at people's hearts, these two almost heart-wrenching comments couldn't be more appropriate for Yi Lanshan.
But, who is he?
Where did it come from?
Ge Sheng had no idea.
"Yi Lanshan." Christie repeated the name calmly: "He is the person I fear and hate the most since I was born. If it weren't for him, I might still have the opportunity to slowly shuffle all this, instead of being Forced to overturn the card table and start over again."
"Nothing knows a person best than his enemies. When I became aware of Yi Lanshan's existence, I began to be wary of everything about him, and then began to collect everything about him."
"But the more I know, the more afraid I become."
"Because he is also a member of the Croft family, and may be the original, incomplete Alaya Consciousness."
"From the moment I was born and awakened, in the Palace of Black and White, there was a hidden consciousness warning me to hide everything about myself. I never knew where this consciousness came from, until I finally found it. Got him."
"First of all, it must be made clear that Alaya Shishi is not a pure-blooded descendant of the Yeshi Clan, but an extremely rare individual born from the fusion of a very high-purity Yeshi bloodline and civilian blood to a certain extent. Fortunately, For example, I inherited the distinctive physical characteristics of the Yeshi clan, thus gaining the value of being a breeding mother."
"Yi Lanshan is a product from another direction."
"Although he is a close relative of a high-blooded member of the Croft family, most of his physical signs are those of ordinary so-called untouchables, such as skin and hair color, and even his eyes are not pure purple, so since he was born Since he was young, he has been relegated to the bottom of the family, and all of this is beyond the control of his parents who are like domestic animals."
"It's fine if that's all. He is an incomplete Alaya Consciousness. As long as he can survive, he will be able to stand out sooner or later. As long as he has a little resource, he can achieve results that will make countless people look at him."
"Due to long-term incest, Yi Lanshan himself also has some flaws that could not be called flaws originally. However, when the situation he faces overlaps with these flaws, it becomes the biggest nightmare."
"His flaw is that he is male and female."
"This is not a big deal in an ordinary family. If it is a noble family, his originally delicate and feminine face, which is no different from that of a woman, can be used as a symbol of the nobility of the nobles."
"But he is just a boy who was banished to the bottom as a waste of the Croft family's failed breeding, so he becomes a **."
"Alaya Consciousness is not an existence suitable for cultivation. Even I only gained the power to control my destiny after repairing my exquisite heart. Moreover, the resources I enjoy and the status of my parents are far from what I was at that time. Yi Lanshan can't compare, so at that time, even if he had superhuman wisdom and talent, it would be of no use to all of this."
"However, everything turned around unexpectedly."
"As the master behind the Commercial Federation, the Croft family often needs to have official or private interactions with the four major chambers of commerce and many affiliated organizations. Such work is often handled by people in the middle or even lower levels of Croft, and During a private friendship, under Yi Lanshan's subjective guidance, he was given as a gift to the son of a chamber of commerce owner."
"So, he finally broke away from the Croft family, and then the sea was as wide as the fish could leap, and the sky was as high as the birds could fly."
"After leaving the Palace of Black and White, the strongest cell in the world, he easily escaped from the control of the young master. Then he changed his identity and entered Ye Ye College under a pseudonym. When he finally gained the freedom and power he dreamed of, Everything after that is a matter of course.”
"Under his guidance, Xicheng became an existence that could compete with Dark Star, the oldest and most powerful dark organization in Lanye territory, and he himself finally became Yi Lanshan, who can only be called the Lord of the Mountain. , he can wear that mask made of pig iron all day long without anyone saying a word about it, and he can also abolish the entire underground adultery trade in Lanye territory with just one sentence."
"There was nothing in this world that deserved his attention. All he did all day long was to take care of the seedlings he carefully selected. All he wanted was balance."
"But one thing has never changed since he walked out of there."
"That is to destroy the Croft family."
