Chapter 141 - 150

ʚChapter 141

    ====================

    "...The village head?"

    Lian Yun stared at the old man in front of him without blinking.

    Lanna noticed that she was not in a good mood, and went to touch her stiff hand, only to feel a coldness.

    "My lord!" Lanna called her softly, burning with anxiety.

    The Lord of Lake Buli was stunned, and looked at Fang Suo, the only one he knew who was frowning: "What's the matter?"

    Fang Suo thought over what Lian Yun had just muttered twice, walked up to her, and asked tentatively. She: "My lord, do you... know the city owner?"

    These words seemed to bring her back to her thoughts.

    She finally moved.

    "You, don't you remember me?" Lian Yun asked with a tight voice, his eyes fixed on the old man in front of him, and he didn't relax for a moment.

    Because of nervousness, he didn't even realize that he was holding Lanna's hand tightly.

    Lan Na gently stroked Lian Yun's back with his other hand, and looked at the city lord opposite him with a worried face.

    The city lord pointed to himself, with a hesitant expression on his face: "Although... little girl, you may have seen me? But I really don't know you."

    Seeing that Lianyun's face turned pale, the city lord hastily added: "How about, you can give me A little reminder?"

    Lian Yun bit his lower lip and stared into the eyes of the old man: "I, Lian Yun. I grew up in the village since I was a child. You sent me to college. You are still very happy that someone finally took the exam. Going to college. We often set up a big table in the yard to eat with our uncles and aunts. We..."

    Lian Yun suddenly stopped.

    She closed her eyes gently, hiding all her emotions.

    Only Lanna could hear her almost inaudible murmur: "No. I grew up beside you, how could you not recognize me." "

    You are not the village chief."

    After a while, Lian Yun opened her eyes, only a tear fell from the corner of her eye.

    Looking at the girl again, she no longer had the uncontrollable emotions just now.

    "I'm sorry. You look too much like an old friend of mine."

    Lian Yun pulled out a far-fetched smile.

    "I haven't seen him for a long time, I miss him so much."

    But...they really look alike.

    The city lord breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled easily: "So that's the case, and I think you are very kind."

    Lian Yun paused: "Really?"

    The city lord dragged a chair for the three of them while talking : "No. Do the two of us look similar to the people around us?"

    Both of them have oriental faces, with soft and delicate outlines.

    Especially the city lord, who is getting older, but it is still not difficult to see the elegance and demeanor of his youth.

    "Maybe, we really met each other in our previous life." The city lord smiled and narrowed his eyes.

    These words touched a certain corner of Lian Yun's heart, and she almost couldn't help crying again.

    "Maybe so."

    Lian Yun replied softly.

    Suddenly there was such a small episode, and neither the city lord nor Lian Yun's original preparations were able to come in handy.

    Lian Yun sat opposite the city lord, who poured them a glass of water each.

    Lianyun held the water glass with both hands, and suddenly another sour feeling came to his heart.

    Most people in this world are used to drinking cold water or even cold water.

    And the glass of water in her hand is warm.

    Is there really a previous life?

    Even the appearance is exactly the same and has not changed, even the habits are the same.

    The city lord is very kind and gentle, and he is really carved out of the same mold as her old friend, even the small details of his occasional speech are so similar.

    Lian Yun watched, always distracted.

    The city lord didn't ask the prepared questions either, he asked some things about the "old man" who practiced cloud tactfully.

    Under his guidance, Lian Yun unknowingly said a lot of little things that she thought she had forgotten, but kept in her heart.

    The days she spent with them, every day and every moment, are the motivation to support her to live strong after encountering bad news.

    Those small things may be insignificant daily life to others.

    A dish, a smile... She can only get it from memory.

    She looked at the city lord in front of her, seeing his sincere concern and smile, and memory fragments emerged one after another in her mind.

    Holding a transparent umbrella, she walked towards the collapsed village on a muddy mountain road in heavy rain and storms. The mountain road was crowded with rescue teams with red and blue lights on, and their tires got stuck in the mud.

    She was covered with yellow mud above her knees, one foot was deep and the other was shallow, the umbrella in her hand was blown off, and the bean-sized raindrops hit her face without hindrance.

    It was almost impossible to see the way ahead, but she still had to go.

    The rescuers vaguely saw the little girl alone in the car that was forced to stop, and they were about to go down to dissuade them when their companions suddenly told him.

    That was the only survivor who was studying abroad and escaped the disaster.

    He stopped silently.

    Watching that thin figure walk away one by one.

    ...

    She didn't know how long she had been digging, the nail crevices were filled with soil, and there were traces of red oozing out, but she couldn't see it.

    She couldn't hear the pouring rain, the shouts of the rescue team, the friction and collision of broken bricks and stones.

    She could only hear her thunderous heartbeat, her heavy breathing and coughing, and faintly, the cries for help from her relatives... Where is it

    ?

    The village is buried, where are they?

    Where is the yard where we eat together?

    She saw the small bamboo basket that the aunt next door always hung on the clothes rail in front of the door. Where is she now?

    She saw the jujube tree that she often went to pick with the village chief's grandfather. Where is he now?

    "I found one!"

    "It's an old man! His mouth and nose are blocked, take..."

    Lian Yun only remembered that he staggered and ran past the crowd.

    She couldn't squeeze in, so she could only stand on the outermost edge, pinching herself to force herself to wake up.

    Until the voice of the crowd was gradually replaced by the wind and rain.

    They silently made way for Lianyun.

    Lianyun walked to the stretcher with his heavy legs mechanically.

    The village chief's grandfather's face was covered with mud, and he couldn't wash it off.

    He could only lie helplessly in the rain, letting the rain baptize him.

    Lian Yun stretched out his hand and placed it on his left chest.

    The only thing that was pounding was her own heartbeat.

    Lian Yun knelt beside him, whispering in his ear, "Grandpa, do you remember me?"

    I am your favorite child, you said I would become a cloud in the sky, fly freely, fly freely Get out of this mountain.

    The scene in front of her gradually blurred, and the solemn face of the village chief's grandfather gradually overlapped with the city lord's kind smile.

    He shook his head.

    "Son, don't look back."

    "...!"

    Lian Yun suddenly sat up from the bed, with unshed tears still hanging on her eyelashes, she breathed heavily, as if reconfirming that she was not dreaming.

    She clenched her fists, feeling her strength, and sighed.

    Lianyun looked towards the blue window, outside was the sky that had just brightened.

    They were arranged in a house on a higher ground, and they could see half of the city from the window.

    As soon as the morning came, everyone started to get busy.

    They said they were busy, but they all had calm smiles on their faces, as if they hadn't heard the news that the mainland was about to face a war not long ago.

    Maybe they know better and know that worrying is useless.

    Better to enjoy the moment.

    Lian Yun was lying on the window, breathing in the exceptionally fresh air, and the heavy breath in his heart gradually dissipated.

    If it was really under the rule of the village chief's grandfather, it must not be much different from now.

    He always seems to be like "there is nothing to worry about in this world", and he will always maintain a childlike innocence. He will shake the jujube tree with Lianyun, and together sweep out the open space and hide behind the tree to catch birds in heavy snow days.

    The people in the village were influenced by him, and their personalities were almost the same.

    If it is him.

    It must be the same.

    "My lord."

    Lian Yun heard a familiar voice calling himself, turned his head and found a head sticking out of another window.

    The blond man stretched out his arm, holding an umbrella in his hand: "My lord, they said that it will rain at noon today, so I went to buy an umbrella."

    Lian Yun was taken aback.

    "Can we watch the rain under the umbrella?"

    Lanna felt that Lianyun had never seen the rain here, and if he got too excited, it would not be good to rush into the rain all at once, and he would get sick.

    Even if adults have medicine, he doesn't want adults to get sick.

    Lianyun was helpless: "Lanna."

    "I've seen rain..."

    ...It was the only time in my memory, it was so unforgettable.

    "But I don't want to get caught in the rain anymore." Lian Yun looked at him and said suddenly.

    They stayed on the second floor of the city lord's office for a whole afternoon yesterday, and the city lord asked her a lot about the past.

    Facing the familiar face, Lian Yun could no longer control herself and said a lot. At that time, she was so excited and mixed with various emotions that she couldn't even remember what she said.

    Lianyun asked Lanna as he walked.

    The latter smiled: "It's just something that adults experienced when they were young. It's very cute. I remember that one of the trees brought out from the elf forest is called 'jujube tree'. Maybe we can plant one behind the house?" Lian Yun's old

    face As soon as it became red, it really brought this matter up.

    "However, my lord also said something serious." Lanna changed the subject.

    Lian Yunsong breathed a sigh of relief: "It's a good thing I didn't forget the business, what did I say?"

    Lanna said with a serious face: "My lord said before leaving, we will continue to talk tomorrow."

    Lian Yun's smile froze.

    "Am I so talkative?"

    Lanna said softly, "With great joy and sorrow, there will inevitably be some confusion, but we are all very happy to hear the adults confide in us."

    Even if it is not to him, as long as the adults have a mouth to confide in.

    He didn't want adults to keep suppressing his emotions.

    Lian Yun pursed her lips: "Thank you."

    It is true that she hadn't talked to anyone like that for a long, long time.

    "Don't worry, my lord. Since you can talk to the Lord of Lake Bulli, and they have already voted in the city, I don't think we need to worry too much."

    The result of this matter is almost inseparable.

    "But sincerity still needs to be shown. Have the ores and plants been moved there?" Lian Yun asked.

    Lanna nodded: "I went there early in the morning, and I'm ready. The city lord is probably going to work at this time."

    Mentioning this Lianyun couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

    This city owner is also interesting. He commutes to and from get off work at a fixed time every day, and he doesn't stay for a second.

    The partner Lianyun talked so much yesterday, it was considered overtime.

    The author has something to say:

    I sincerely recommend that the passage of Lianyun's memories be eaten with the song "the curse", and the effect will be better. (Singer Agnes Obel)

ʚChapter 142

    ==========================================================================================================================================================================================

    _

    In the empty space, there was a box of things that Lanna sent people to bring up.

    The city lord was still sitting there alone behind the table.

    Seeing Lianyun and the others appear, the city lord cheerfully poured warm water for them.

    "It's raining today, have you brought an umbrella?"

    Lian Yun nodded, showing the umbrella behind him and leaning against the wall next to him.

    "Yesterday... I really troubled you." Lian Yun was a little embarrassed.

    The city lord waved his hand generously: "What's the matter, isn't it just an ordinary chat?

    " .”

    As he spoke, he winked at Lianyun.

    Lianyun nodded in a foggy manner.

    "Come and show me these things you brought?" The city lord pointed to the box, "I've been around twice, and I don't understand any of them."

    Lian Yun smiled: "Okay."

    Then she He Lanna introduced flying stones and molten crystal ore to the city lord, and explained in advance that the town will produce materials such as "glass" in the near future.

    In addition, there are breads made in the small town. Lianyun took them out from the backpack that can freeze time, as if they had just been baked.

    The city lord broke off a piece of soft bread and put it into his mouth, closed his eyes to savor it carefully, and nodded in satisfaction after a while.

    "Not bad! It tastes much better than parsnip bread!"

    Lian Yun nodded proudly: "We also brought back a batch of fruit trees and vegetables from the Elven Forest. When the scale increases, we can cook a variety of dishes."

    "However, I also saw a lot of plants in Guicheng that are not found in other cities."

    The city owner: "This is not our private collection. There were many city management in the past that we wanted these trees and plants, but we couldn't survive if we planted them there. "

    He was quite surprised as he said that: "Your small town can do it? I remember, isn't it in the desert?"

    After he said this, Lianyun also began to feel very strange.

    But thinking about it carefully, like the city owner, she never noticed it because the land on her own site was not affected.

    But the current situation of Quoge City and Jiaota City is combined with what the Elf Queen once said, it seems that the barrenness of the land is not accidental.

    ... everything is more premeditated.

    The lord of the city pondered for a while, and said: "I have heard about the things about Jiaota and Kuoge City. To be honest, as soon as the news of the decline of the land in the whole continent came out, I was afraid that such a day would come." But the city of Buli

    Lake He has not been affected by the land barrenness of the whole continent, and the output has never fallen below the standard line. He is busy enough with the government affairs of his own city, and he is powerless to think of solutions for other cities.

    "But since this matter has become a problem among our allies, we in Lake City of Buli will definitely do our best to help you solve it." "

    You young people still have to find the root of the problem. But as for food and other supplies, Just mention what you need, the demand in our city is not high."

    Now that the city lord said so, Lian Yun immediately asked him for a batch of food, and sent it to Kuoge City at noon today.

    The most important thing was settled, and the city lord looked at the ore just introduced again: "Is there a lot of melting crystal production? I want to buy a batch first." Without

    Lianyun explaining, he said to himself: "This thing is good, the best Give me a copy of the forging blueprint of the street lamps, and when the time comes, all the streets will be replaced with such street lamps...it will be really good."

    Lian Yun:...I knew it.

    As a city owner who likes to build cities, the first thing that comes to mind is that beautifying the streets and improving the living standards of the city residents is really a normal thing!

    Lian Yun showed a mysterious smile: "I'm not short of money."

    The city lord gave Rong Jing a hand.

    Lian Yun met his gaze and smiled slightly: "Money is the most important thing for me. I will exchange as much supplies as you can. Of course, bartering for equivalent value will not make you lose money." "

    The city lord pursed his lips and showed a more interested smile: "Of course." "

    In addition, any materials that can be exchanged in the third-level cities under your jurisdiction, we will buy them at a price that satisfies you, or you can buy them at a price that satisfies you. Change it to something you want."

    Fang Suo, who was listening, sat on the seat, his body tensed at the beginning, his expression slowly relaxed, and then he started to eat the snacks on the table to pass the time.

    This negotiation was too successful, even far beyond her imagination. She has never found that Lianyun's negotiation can be so natural, maybe because the city lord looks like her acquaintance?

    Lian Yun swept away his timidity in the face of strangers.

    Before setting off, Lian Yun was still worried that he would have stage fright, so he practiced with Fang Suo and the others several times.

    Maybe the conversation hit it off, or maybe Lianyun's conditions were very generous, and the city lord was very cooperative in this negotiation.

    Finally, Lian Yun asked the question he got from the guard when he entered the city: "I heard that you voted a few days ago?"

    The city lord smiled and nodded.

    "How to choose, everyone has the answer in their hearts. I will list the options and how to do it. I just listen to everyone." "...That's not what

    you said when I left." Although I was overjoyed by the result, Fang Suo couldn't help but said, "You are very serious, as if..."

    Fang Suo, who started the war, was about to be driven out of Buli Lake City in the next second.

    The city lord coughed lightly twice.

    "Aren't you afraid that you won't come?"

    "Although we have made up our minds, it's safer to meet the person who is talking." "

    Then...why did everyone choose us?" Lian Yun continued to ask.

    It's not that she underestimated herself. The town's current development trend is very fast and very good, but compared with the power of the main city for many years, it is still difficult to be optimistic.

    "This question is too simple." The city lord straightened his expression and blinked at her again, "Because we are all smart people."

    He would never decorate the main city with peace. How did the main city treat Buli Lake City? How to let them fend for themselves, only occasionally "rent collection" will appear.

    He never hides this from his people.

    "I listed the pros and cons, and my city has never hindered people's freedom of speech. As soon as the announcement was issued, some people began to preach the pros and cons of both, and it was no accident that they were all towards the small town." "Very correct position.

    " Isn't it? And I believe they will like the new streetlights." The city lord smiled.

    Lianyun smiled knowingly.

    "By the way, do you have any plans?" The city lord paused, "Of course, you don't have to mention it to me. But if there are any unresolved problems, maybe I can help you think about them, but I'm old and my brain Not very flexible, maybe you can't think of anything."

    "You are not old." Lian Yun retorted.

    During the negotiation just now, the reaction was faster than her.

    She should be thankful that the other party didn't dig a hole for her, otherwise she might really step on it.

    "But speaking of it, there is indeed a problem."

    Lian Yun briefly described what happened in Honey's village, and the resulting love and hatred with the main city. To the conversation with Mogo and the others.

    The city lord clenched his hands into fists and leaned on his chin with a serious face.

    Although it was not polite for him to ask Lian Yun to ask questions, he really did not expect that the other party would drop a few bombs on him as soon as he came up.

    For a while I didn't know where to start.

    Thousands of words, combined into a "polite" sentence-

    "...This bunch of rubbish is really nothing!"

    "You did a beautiful job. If I was young, I would do the same thing." Yun cast admiring glances.

    This refers to the behavior of practicing clouds and dropping villages.

    "But it's a bit risky for you to do that. Fortunately, no one in the main city knows you. You're still smart, and you're wearing a cloak. But it's still too risky..." This refers to

    Lian Yun's behavior of going to the auction house.

    "But I still found some useful information... But where is your focus?"

    Lian Yun regretted it, she should have said it slowly just now.

    But she could only bite the bullet and try to answer: "You mean...?"

    "Alicia's daughter is in your town, and this connection shows that you are already sure. What about those puppets? What do you think?"

    Lian Yun pursed her lips: "I have thought about it, if I take down the main city, I will definitely release them."

    The city lord raised his hand to interrupt her, and shook his head slightly.

    "You want to fight the main city, do you have the upper hand?"

    Lian Yun was startled.

    "Why do you have a good relationship with Mo Ge?"

    Lian Yun hesitated: "...to instigate him? Because of his family's status, neither party is involved, and it may become a big help for us, and cooperate with us internally and externally." ?”

    The city lord listened quietly, but still shook his head.

    "Is Mo Ge's family in the main city?"

    Lian Yun just wanted to answer yes, but suddenly stopped.

    Meeting the serious eyes of the old man, she finally realized that she was one-sided in seeing things.

    Not to mention that Mogo has no real power at all.

    Even if there is, will he give up the favorable conditions and status of the family in the main city, turn against the nobles and the association, and open the city gate to welcome Lianyun's team?

    If it was so easy to instigate rebellion, the Hewlett family would have been annexed by those two forces long ago.

    "Even if it is Mo Ge who has no real power," the city lord said solemnly, "since he can become the heir chosen by thousands of people, even if he has no outstanding ability, he must have a loyal side to the family." Although he values ​​family affection

    , For the sake of my cousin, she would make a deal with the Sun Moon God Sect outside the city, but it might not mean that she would betray the family.

    so what should I do now?

    Lian Yun frowned.

    Had her two weeks of preparation been wasted?

    No...

    Since the city lord can remind her like this, there must be room for turning around.

    He said just now...

    "Those puppets?" Lian Yun paused, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

    A huge number, isn't it just what Lianyun urgently needs now?

    Even though Lian Yun still had various problems in his heart, it was obvious that this would be a great tool to solve the predicament.

    Lian Yun's eyes brightened: "According to what Mogo said, these puppets have been there for a long time, but I don't know who summoned them..."

    She didn't need other people's ideas, she had already thought of it herself: "No! If they At the same time as Bernie appeared, or even earlier, maybe a large part of them have already appeared autonomous consciousness!"

    The author has something to say:

    Thanks to the little angel who voted for me as a king or irrigation nutrient solution during 2021-11-18 23:29:23~2021-11-20 23:33:12~

    Thanks to the little angel of irrigation nutrient solution: Linghua 20 bottle;

    thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!

ʚChapter 143

    ====================

    "Thank you." Lian Yun said sincerely.

    The city lord smiled and shook his head: "Even without me, you would have thought of it sooner or later."

    It's just that the situation is too urgent now. Although Lianyun is capable, he is still too young and has less experience than him.

    I still need to mention a few words.

    After getting new inspiration, Lian Yun nodded thoughtfully.

    "I'll seriously consider this."

    When she went back, she would ask Bernie for more information about the puppet.

    Lianyun and the others like the environment and humanistic style of Lake City of Bulli very much, but according to the current situation, they don't plan to stay for a long time.

    On the second day after the conversation, they packed their bags and prepared to go back.

    The city lord was a little bit reluctant to part with them.

    When they left in the morning, the city lord sent them to the city gate, and said leisurely: "I was strolling around the city at this time before you came, and I have almost become a habit of working overtime these days." Lian Yun said with a smile:

    " Aren't you happy that you don't work overtime? It's not easy, and you will have things to deal with in a few days."

    The city lord waved his hands again and again: "Go!"

    He paused, his expression changed, and he said: "If there is any problem, just Come to me, it is inconvenient for you to run around in your status, so send someone here."

    "I know." Lian Yun met his meaningful eyes, "Don't worry." On

    the way back, Lian Yun took a detour and arrived at Jiaota City met the opponent's city lord once.

    The lord of Jiaota City is a middle-aged man with a slightly round figure, a bit like a big white flour steamed bun, but he is very straightforward in speaking and doing things, serious and unsmiling, he is a reliable person.

    He was pleasantly surprised by the arrival of Lianyun and the others. After a while, he casually invited them to the city and asked about the progress of the trainees in the small town.

    After learning that they had been able to get along with everyone in the town and study hard, he happily took out some supplies.

    Because Lianyun and the others had just returned from Lake Bulli City, they had already obtained a large number of teams that were more eloquent than when they went to Lake Lake City, which was completely enough for the town to supply for a period of time to come.

    Now the first reaction is to want to refuse.

    But the owner of Jiaota City is very serious: "That belongs to Buli Lake City, and this is mine. No matter what, you must accept our wishes." "After all, we

    Jiaota City are the first ones you contacted. At that time, the condition I offered was to give it away, but now that it has been fulfilled, how can I, the city lord, be stingy?"

    Lian Yun could only accept it with a smile after repeated refusals to no avail.

    The lord of Jiaota City also proposed to let them board the landmark building of Jiaota City to have a look at the scenery.

    "Fang Suo came here in a hurry last time, and didn't give us a chance to entertain." The Lord of Jiaota smiled.

    Lian Yun and Fang Suo looked at each other, but still politely refused.

    "You know, we are too busy these days, maybe next time we can climb up to Jiaota to have a look?"

    The Lord of Jiaota didn't feel embarrassed, and nodded with a smile: "Next time for sure."

    Before they left, The city lord of Jiaota was also very manly, boasting to Chao Lianyun about how Fang Suo negotiated.

    Fang Suo was caught off guard by everyone's attention and appreciation.

    On the way back, Fang Suo came side by side on a camel beast, and suddenly said: "The attitude of the Lord Jiaota..."

    Lian Yun turned his head: "Why, is it very different from last time?"

    Fang Suo shook his head silently: "Although I was very enthusiastic last time, I didn't give out so many things so unconditionally and generously this time."

    Lian Yun: "Isn't this very good?"

    Because they brought a bunch of things, the other party realized that they had already reached an alliance with the city of Bully Lake, which has more supplies and stronger capabilities, and benefited more from them.

    So the owner of Jiaota City began to think that he could not lag behind Buli Lake City, and deliberately mentioned that Jiaota City was an alliance with the small town before Buli Lake City.

    Lian Yun twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a deep smile.

    "Healthy competition."

    Absolutely welcome.

    "Where's that city..."

    Lian Yun looked into the distance in one direction.

    The invisible place is the area of ​​the Holy City.

    The last time Fang Suo took people from Buli Lake City to Jiaota City, and then left from Jiaota City, it would be fair to say that she acted stealthily without being noticed.

    This time, Lianyun's large army was walking around in a big way. Even if Lianyun wanted to cover up, the other party might not be able to pretend not to see it.

    What about their options?

    Lan Na looked in the direction of Lian Yun's line of sight, and instantly understood what Lian Yun was thinking, and asked softly, "My lord, we need to make urgent preparations."

    Lian Yun looked at him: "Yes."

    Kai Shengcheng It is the most difficult city to convince among the three cities.

    But in fact, Lian Yun didn't intend to try.

    Regardless of whether it was also neglected by the main city, it was optimistic about the rising star of the small town, and wanted to escape the control of the main city...

    But Kaisheng City is the birthplace of the two sons of God after all, no matter how it is left out, it will not be like The degree to which Jiaota City and Lake Bulli City were ignored.

    Similarly, even if they really bowed their heads to the town, they were not desperate, and it was hard to guarantee that they would not turn against each other.

    And Lianyun will inevitably be wary of them, and the trust level will not be the same as that of the other two cities.

    But what the hell, they still can't predict things that haven't happened in the future.

    On the way, they went to Kuoge City again, leaving behind a considerable amount of food and other supplies. Seeing them coming, Perth finally dissipated the worries that had been on her head for many days.

    "Thank you, my lord... thank you." Perth had tears in her eyes.

    She led the city residents to survive for so many days under the condition of extreme shortage of supplies. Everyone, men, women, young and old, tightened their belts to listen to her command, just to not abandon the city and wait for this chance of survival.

    At this moment, I can finally relax.

    They... finally came back.

    "Sister Fang Suo!"

    After hearing the news of Fang Suo and the others' return, Kuo Kuo was brought over by the proprietress of the inn to see them off.

    Kuo Kuo threw himself into Fang Suo's open arms.

    "Sister! You're finally back, I miss you!"

    Fang Suo pampered her little face, "I'm all thin."

    Kuo Kuo shook his head firmly: "I'm not thin! Give it to me, and she will lose weight!"

    ...Mom?

    Fang Suo looked at the proprietress of the inn, and the latter looked away awkwardly: "Why are you looking at me? She called me herself."

    Fang Suo was taken aback for a moment, and then understood in an instant.

    Although the proprietress is a little distant from the adopted child, it is really good to be sincere and honest.

    As soon as the school's tuition fee came down, she immediately sent Kuo Kuo to study.

    And in this food crisis, she also deducted her own small rations and gave them to Kuo Kuo, who was growing her body.

    As for Kuo Kuo, as she gradually became sensible, she gradually understood the character of the proprietress' duplicity and venomous mouth, and also understood that her feelings for him were not fake.

    One day when I came home from school, the phrase "Mom" came out naturally.

    Fang Suo also felt relieved.

    She is bound to travel around in the days to come, even if she is not on the way to shoulder the mission, she will still be on standby in the small town. She will come back to Quoge City, but she may not stay forever.

    The only worry before was Kuo Kuo.

    Now it seems that she no longer has to worry about herself.

    "Study hard." Fang Suo pursed his lips.

    Kuo Kuo nodded again and again: "I will not disappoint Sister Fang Suo! Now I am the number one in our fighting class!"

    Everyone looked at her small body and was very surprised.

    "In the future, I will protect Kuoge City like my sister!"

    Fang Suo hugged her again, feeling warm in his heart.

    Lian Yun's lower body was short, with curved eyebrows and eyes: "At that time, I will protect more people."

    Kuo Kuo nodded proudly.

    After bidding farewell to Perth and others, they set out on the road again.

    Not long after, Lianyun was suddenly called.

    "...Sister!"

    Hearing Lina's voice, Lianyun turned his head, only to see Lina pointing ahead and widening her eyes.

    They set off from Kuoge City and have now reached the junction with the desert. In the distance ahead, bulging sand dunes are moving rapidly one after another, kicking up fine dust behind them, but because there are too many, it is easy to be caught. people noticed.

    Anyone who has seen this scene can recognize that this is a large group of flying gerbils running towards this direction.

    Since Xiaobai was adopted that day, and the town teamed up several times to encircle the monsters, there have been no flying gerbils around the town for a long time.

    It is now on the edge of the desert, so it is not surprising that it can be seen.

    But the IQ of the flying gerbils is not low. It stands to reason that they would not attack rashly when they see groups of people, especially if there are many people in the team who seem to exude an unpleasant aura.

    Lanna didn't pay attention to them, and just thought of them as a practice for the people under his hands.

    "Get ready."

    Following his order, everyone drew out their weapons one after another, looking at each sand dune vigilantly, without taking their eyes off it.

    As soon as they show their heads, they rush up and take down their knives.

    Whether it is training or actual practice, they have done these movements countless times, and they have long been familiar with them.

    "...No, wait a minute."

    Lianyun suddenly raised his hand with a grim expression, and Lanna stopped quickly.

    Lianyun turned on the main pet's telepathy.

    "Master! Master! Don't do anything!"

    Lianyun lowered his head, looked at the white ball in his arms who was trying to push out, and finally revealed his small head, shook the hair on his body, and jumped off.

    Lian Yun narrowed her eyes slightly: "What's going on?"

    As soon as Lanna opened her mouth, she felt Xiaobai struggling to get out.

    Xiaobai Nuonuo opened his mouth, and his body grew bigger as he spoke: "Master! Wait!"

    It didn't take long before it swelled to the size of a small building.

    Before Lianyun could speak, it rushed towards the group of flying gerbils.

    "Little Bai!" Lian Yun suddenly became nervous.

    Although it often goes out to fight monsters with Lanna and the others, this is a large group.

    Xiaobaitou didn't return either.

    Strangely, as soon as it approached the sand dunes, those flying gerbils hiding under the gravel suddenly jumped out.

    They raised their faces, blinked their scarlet eyes, and moved their noses to catch Xiao Bai's scent.

    In the next second, they suddenly froze.

    "Squeak!"

    Xiaobai let out a loud scream, and those flying gerbils immediately arched their bodies, and lowered their heads towards the snow-white rat in front of them.

    "... Xiaobai?" Lian Yun was dumbfounded.

    Only then did Xiaobai turn around, raising his front paws proudly and shyly, and clasped them together.

    "Originally... I wanted to give the master a surprise."

    It turned out that these days it went out day and night, and came back disheartened, just to unite the flying gerbils of various tribes.

    Repeat the process of finding the leader to fight - win - and then find the next group.

    The result now is that almost all the flying gerbils in the desert are here.

    Lianyun was really pleased: "Xiaobai..."

    It turned out that it has been doing this quietly.

    Xiaobai has grown up, but he still maintains a childlike voice in front of Lianyun: "I have been away for several days this time, and they are worried that they can't find me." So

    when they approached the desert, Xiaobai's breath once again Appearing near the desert, they rushed over non-stop, looking for their leader.

    It wanted to surprise Lianyun, but unexpectedly delivered it ahead of schedule.

    Lian Yun's heart softened completely.

    Only then did she realize that the tense atmosphere these days had affected even Xiaobai.

    It sensed the tension and busyness of the town, and knew that war would be fought soon.

    If it's not smart, maybe it can just be a pet obediently and ignore everything.

    But it has a stronger physique, talent and ability than any flying gerbil.

    It was taken in by the owner when it was small.

    Now that it has grown up, it can help the owner.

    Under Xiaobai's order again, the flying gerbils went away in groups, and they didn't know where they hid.

    Lianyun returned to the town before dinner, and Gerry was visibly relieved when he saw the supplies they brought back.

    "It's done?"

    "It's done."

    Seeing Gerry's gratified smile, Lian Yun felt a little sore in his heart.

    "It's been hard for you these days."

    The number of people in the town suddenly increased, and the food problem was on Gerry, the executive officer. Even though he was always talking and laughing with Lian Yun, he said on the surface that it was Lian Yun who had to worry.

    But Lian Yun knew that his pressure was no less than his own.

    Lianyun took out the experience book, and it really had sorted out the experiences he had gained in Buli Lake City and Jiaota City these days.

    Including street construction, government affairs handling methods and so on.

    Gerry took it and nodded with satisfaction: "Very useful."

    "Next time I go, I plan to bring this batch of vegetable seeds. I remember, should we harvest?" Lian Yun asked.

    "I received it yesterday." Gerry said, "The output of this batch is very large, and I thought that even if your negotiation fails this time, the output will be enough to last for a while." But I didn't expect that

    Lian Yun would bring back such a big surprise.

    A wave has already been sent to Kuoge City, and so many can be left behind. It seems that Lake City of Buli is really generous.

    "There are also blueprints for street lamps, and the city lord also wants a copy."

    Lian Yun briefly described how the city lord made her feel these days. Generally speaking, the other party is a good ally.

    Gerry smiled and said, "That's great. It's just a blueprint. Next time, I will bring a few blueprints of the small objects I researched."

    It doesn't matter.

    No matter how precious and rare it is, it is not as good as the helping hand at this time.

    "By the way, go find Luo. He has been waiting for you since yesterday."

    Lian Yun's eyes lit up, and he guessed without him saying: "Is it glass?"

    Gerry nodded with a smile: "It has been tested Now, it can be used."

ʚChapter 144

    =============================================================================================================================================================================================

    _

    The quartz sand was transported by the orc tribe from the snow-capped mountains not long ago, and the amount is large enough.

    Luo sent people the day before yesterday to make a mixer and mold according to the instructions.

    Glass-firing pool furnaces were also arranged near the machine factory.

    The next firing process is not to mention.

    There are two children with fire magic talents in the small town. Hera's illness has almost recovered, and Yike is willing to let his sister out for a little walk.

    In addition, Joan, who has been studying with Joel for a long time, is now proficient in basic fire magic, and can even come up with some innovative moves by herself.

    With their high-temperature fire system heating, the temperature can be controlled at any time, and the firing process is very smooth.

    "Your Excellency is back." Luo sat at the table, as if someone had already informed him that Lianyun had just arrived.

    He had an open box in his hand, and inside it stood an opaque bottle, which looked very similar to the medicine bottle in Lianyun's backpack.

    "The first batch came out at this time." Luo picked up the bottle and handed it to Lian Yun.

    The fired bottle is slightly green, which may be caused by impurities, but the thickness of the first fired bottle is good. Lianyun tapped and listened to the sound, and the quality was also very good.

    "For the first firing, everyone is not very skilled, and there is a little mistake in the ratio of ingredients. It will be better next time." Luo Wensheng explained.

    Lian Yun smiled: "This is already very good, thank you for your hard work."

    Luo obediently accepted Lian Yun's praise.

    "Luo! Haven't you eaten yet..."

    A voice suddenly came from outside the door. Lian Yun turned his head and found that Hera was walking in excitedly holding a tray. The voice stopped abruptly when he saw them.

    "My lord! You are back." Hera suddenly lowered her voice and smiled shyly.

    "Hera." Lian Yun nodded to her.

    Hera, who was well, looked much better, but she lost a lot of weight, and her small face was pointed, which was very lovable.

    Lian Yun looked at Hera, then at Luo who was silent.

    These two... didn't they fight when they first met?

    It looks very good now.

    Hera gently put the tray on the table beside Luo, "I brought you bread and steak, and some jam, I heard from Abe that this is what you usually like to eat." Luo nodded lightly: "Thank you

    . "

    Hera pursed her lips, glanced at him, walked towards the door in silence, suddenly thought of something, looked at Lianyun again, her expression relaxed.

    "Thank you for the medicine, sir. I'm much better now! I went to the mine with them yesterday!" "

    Huh?" Lian Yun looked at her with interest, "Did you go to help?"

    "Yes! Joan and I He and Danny blasted the mine together, which relieved them a lot of burden."

    Hera was very proud of being able to help, and even her hair seemed to be shining.

    "It's really good."

    Lian Yun didn't care about the praise, but suddenly remembered something: "Where's Yike?"

    "Brother?" Hera paused, as if recalling, showing a confused expression.

    "Brother said he was thinking about something, and when he thinks it over, he will explain it to an adult."

    Lian Yun and Lan Na exchanged glances.

    Although I don't know what made Yike think of confessing, it's still good.

    They can wait, just hope it's not too late.

    "Thank you Luo, let's have a good meal." Lian Yun said.

    "My lord." Luo heard that Lian Yun wanted to leave, and unconsciously squeezed the corner of the table, "Are you still going out?" Lian Yun

    paused, a little surprised why he would ask such a question.

    However, seeing his subtle movements, Lian Yun patiently explained: "To communicate with the lords of the various cities, running around is indispensable. What's the matter?"

    Luo's hand still did not relax.

    But even he himself was a little confused as to why he would ask such a question.

    "...No."

    Luo slowly shook his head.

    "Are you going to go further away?"

    Lian Yun frowned slightly.

    "You mean..."

    Lian Yun looked around, seeing that Hera had gone far, and then confirmed softly: "You mean, the main city?"

    This matter is of great importance, and she has tried her best to avoid letting more people know.

    Luo looked slightly relaxed: "That's right."

    "I didn't deliberately hide it from you, but I just wanted to narrow the scope of knowing about it as much as possible." Lian Yun didn't want Luo to have a grudge with him because of this, "But how did you know?"

    Luo shook his head lightly: "I don't know."

    He always had some ominous premonition these days. When Lianyun went out, his panic never stopped. He didn't feel relieved until she came back, but when he heard that she was leaving Panic again.

    He also thought that maybe he was too dependent on the adults, but knowing that the adults just said that he had been to the main city, he seemed to find the real source of this anxiety in an instant.

    "You mean, it will be dangerous for me to go to the main city?"

    Lian Yun was silent.

    If Luo didn't know that he had been to the main city, and that he was going to go to the main city through the portal again, there was absolutely no reason to make up reasons for himself to stay.

    That was his hunch.

    Is it really dangerous if I go again by myself?

    She glanced at Lanner, who was also silent.

    Lianyun knew that she couldn't ask Lanna for advice on this matter. Even if he didn't like Luo, for the sake of her safety, he would definitely persuade him to stay.

    But she had made an appointment with Mogo and Alicia for the next meeting.

    Although the Lord of Lake Buli has reminded himself that Mogo's contacts may not really be useful, it is a possible way out after all.

    If you really don't go, the line will really be broken.

    Even if Mogo is given up, what about Alicia?

    She waits for the unknown result in torment every day. This feeling is like she once stood outside the cordon and watched the rescue helplessly.

    There is no way but to hope in the unknown.

    But now that this hope has been cut off, how can she sustain it.

    Alicia's current status cannot last for too long, and one day, or soon, she will need to leave.

    Lian Yun promised that he would take her away.

    "My lord..."

    Lanna's blue eyes stared deeply at Lianyun.

    Seeing the latter's firm eyes, he sighed softly.

    "I can't persuade you, I just hope that the adults will not forget me again."

    He will never let the adults take risks alone again.

    Listening to what the two said, Luo frowned subconsciously: "Sir, do you still want to go?"

    "Thank you for reminding me, Luo." Lian Yun whispered, "I will be more careful." "

    ...Okay." Luo let go of his hand in a slightly slumped manner, hugged the bottle, and sat there quietly.

    The real first productions of glass were in full swing.

    The current manpower in the town is enough to open a few more pool furnaces and add a few more production lines, but this production line has been processed by a few little magicians, and the production speed is already very high.

    Even if the production line is opened again, without the blessing of the magician, the output will drop greatly.

    A large number of glass bottles and other products here are produced in just a few days.

    The pharmacy is also intensively researching new drugs.

    Snow mountain herb has been sent a large amount by the orc tribe.

    As soon as it was delivered, Louis and Nora directly added the medicinal herbs to the new prescription to extract and refine the ingredients.

    And this morning, the last extraction was about to be completed.

    As soon as Lianyun and Lanna turned around the street where the pharmacy was located, they could smell a scent of medicine from a distance, which was very different from the previous one.

    "Is it so much worse just by adding some medicine?" Lian Yun murmured.

    At the same time, the two quickened their pace and walked to the door of the pharmacy.

    Nora was holding a glass bottle and immersing it in cold water, while Louis stood aside, holding Lianyun's medicine bottle with a serious face.

    Hearing their footsteps, Louis nodded to the two of them, gesturing for them to come over.

    Nora gently shook the glass bottle in the water.

    In the transparent glass bottle, the light blue liquid was fluctuating along the wall with Nora's movements.

    That's right, it's blue.

    Nora's soft face was filled with joy: "I couldn't make such a natural color before, and finally..."

    She said while slowly lifting the glass bottle, and handed it to Lian Yun with full expectation.

    "My lord."

    Lian Yun took the bottle, and took his own medicine bottle from Louis.

    She pulled out the corks of the two bottles, brought them to the tip of her nose, closed her eyes slightly and sniffed lightly.

    "...very similar."

    The fresh, almost unscented sweet taste is much worse than what they smelled from afar.

    Nora showed a satisfied smile: "That's it, every time it is extracted, its taste will become weaker and weaker." The smell of

    medicine that is now filling the street is even the smell that came out when it was extracted for the first time yesterday.

    After Lianyun smelled it, he handed it to Louis. As a pharmacist, Louis is very sensitive to the nuances of these smells, and he can smell the success or failure of this time as soon as he smells it.

    "... the concentration is much lighter."

    Just like its color.

    "This is already the maximum concentration we can achieve." Although Louis said so, he couldn't hide his joy.

    He took Nora for so long and tried so many ways, no matter whether it was the library or his own collection of books, he had turned over every page with Nora countless times.

    Finally, I saw the sun and saw the results.

    After agreeing with Lianyun that the prescription will be officially confirmed tomorrow, Lianyun and others leave.

    Louis twirled his beard, sat down and let out a long sigh of relief.

    These days, he was either standing up to process the medicinal materials or waiting for the results. He didn't even sleep soundly, and he was worried about the results in his dreams.

    Now I can finally sit down.

    "This rocking chair will get rusted if you don't sit on it." Nora carefully poured Louis a glass of water and smiled slightly. "You can take a good rest." "You've worked hard too."

    Louis took the water , looked at her, moved his lips twice, and only said one sentence: "Thank you."

    ... He knew that without Nora's tireless help and company, it would be impossible for him to do it alone.

    Nora has been in the pharmacy for so long, and she has long been familiar with Louis' stubborn temper, sharp mouth and bean curd heart, and seldom speaks touching words.

    Norah is not one to listen to compliments.

    After studying with Louis for so long, she felt that what she gained was far greater than what she paid.

    Although Louis was taciturn, he was able to teach her everything he could, and he didn't hold back at all.

    In the process, she also learned more about her illness.

    "I should say thank you..." Nora pursed her lips, "Teacher."

    Louis never said anything about accepting apprentices, and Nora kept calling Mr. Louis, but she had long regarded Louis as her own. In life, he is still a teacher on the way to study pharmacy.

    Louis was taken aback for a moment, then the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising, he nodded repeatedly, leaned back on the recliner, and laughed.

    Nora grinned, too.

    The two looked at each other, their laughter paused for a second, and they couldn't help laughing even more.

    Tomorrow the store's portal will open again, Lian Yun lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

    It is good for her to know that there may be danger in advance, but the unknown also makes people more or less fearful.

    Even she is no exception.

    After staying in another world for so long, so many dangerous experiences failed to break her down, she has long been used to sudden accidents.

    But the more critical this moment was, the more aware she was of her passivity, the more powerless she felt.

    ... Xiaobai didn't know where he went, maybe he was giving a lecture to the group of flying gerbils?

    It's also pretty good, Xiaobai has his own things to busy with.

    But now she has no one to talk to.

    Unable to fall asleep, Lianyun simply sat up, put on his clothes, and opened the window to breathe fresh air.

    The wooden window was pushed open, Lian Yun took a deep breath, looked at the sky for a while, listened to the sound of the river not far away, and gradually lost his mind.

    ...No, there seems to be no aqueduct near my house, right?

    Lianyun lowered his head, just in time to meet Lanna who was dressed in black unexpectedly.

    Lanna, who also couldn't sleep, was looking up at her while watering the system tree with a water bottle.

    --------------------

    The author has something to say:

    I am so happy to write to Nora, Nora has her own new life.

    Thank you guys for your comments! Love you love you! ! !

ʚChapter 145

    ====================

    Lian Yun: "...Hi?"

    Lanna's star eyes slightly curved: "Hi."

    The girl at the window suddenly appeared and called him He disappeared quickly after greeting.

    Lanna raised his head, suddenly he was a little confused about whether to talk to an adult.

    Originally, he couldn't sleep because of tomorrow's business, so he was really bored and thought about going out to water the trees.

    An elf girl tapped quietly from the tip of his heart and flew away like the wind.

    She disappeared, but Lanna was in a mess.

    But he stood there quietly, waiting for that figure to appear again.

    Lian Yun suddenly took a step back and left the window sill, blinked at the air, and touched the temperature of his cheek with the back of his hand.

    Make sure it's not too hot to be seen red under the street lights before it appears in the window again.

    "What are you doing?" Lian Yun asked knowingly.

    Lanna looked at the kettle in his hand and smiled gently.

    "Your Excellency can't sleep either?"

    Lanna thoughtfully found a topic for the two of them.

    Lian Yun nodded, and let out a very light sigh: "Actually, I don't know what to say." Are

    you afraid? In fact, she worried about the town more than she worried about herself.

    What if something happens to her, what should the town do? It's too unlucky.

    But tonight was such a sleepless night, as if the day seemed programmed early on for her to know Lo's worries, and then toss and turn.

    Lianyun looked at the silent figure of the blond man under the Yingying street lamp.

    Fortunately, in such a quiet night, she wasn't the only one awake.

    Lian Yun leaned against the window sill with his chin propped up, not knowing what he was thinking.

    She didn't seem to want to go downstairs, and Lanna didn't go upstairs either.

    He stopped watering, but didn't go back to the house, just stood there quietly looking at Lianyun. It seemed that he would only return to his room when he saw Lian Yun go back.

    "I always feel... I shouldn't be helpless." Lian Yun murmured.

    "In the past, I should have figured out some way. No matter what, I shouldn't just wait."

    Lian Yun didn't like to be passive, so she tried every means to change the status quo.

    But tonight's uneasiness made her feel like all her previous efforts had been wasted.

    I tried a lot, but it seemed like nothing was done.

    "It's all going in a good direction," Lanner said.

    "I will accompany you tomorrow, no matter what happens, I will guarantee your safety." "

    Even without us, I don't think the town will suddenly go back to the past, it will continue to develop with its current process. "

    Lianyun shrugged pretending to be relaxed: "You are right, Lanna, I shouldn't think so much."

    Lanna knew that his few words could not persuade Lianyun, even if he was on the sidelines, he was also standing up for him. Lian Yun was worried, let alone herself?

    As a lord, there are much more things to consider than him.

    But he has only one purpose - to want her well.

    Standing at the window, Lianyun's line of sight extended along the street, and he could vaguely see where the altar was.

    At the beginning, she was regarded as a goddess by everyone, including Lanna, and she unconsciously took on this responsibility.

    From the first day she took it on, she knew she couldn't let it go.

    And this small town is worth her persistence.

    "Everyone respects you as a goddess, but I know that you are an ordinary person."

    Lianyun lowered his head and looked at Lanna seriously, his eyes were full of solemnity.

    "What other people think has nothing to do with you. You are just yourself, a person who is anxious and worried about tomorrow." "You don't have to be a god to master

    some skills that others don't have." "

    Even if you want to, you don't have to be a god." Here."

    Lian Yun curled his lips slightly, but didn't say anything.

    The two looked at each other, relatively silent.

    The night was getting colder, and Lanna was still worried because Lianyun was wearing clothes.

    "Go to bed earlier."

    Lianyun still did not respond to Lanna's words after all.

    Lanner didn't ask any questions, but the two understood what they didn't ask.

    Even if Lian Yun wants to be a god... just being his own god is enough.

    No matter what she wants, he will follow it to the death, and get it with all his strength, for his god.

    And she doesn't have to follow the shackles of the world.

    Adults don't have to be so demanding of themselves.

    At least in his opinion, Lian Yun should only put himself first.

    But Lianyun obviously won't do what he wants.

    His adult will always choose to bear the responsibility of God with a mortal body.

    Her goal is not to become a god and be admired by all.

    But guard.

    The next day, Lianyun walked downstairs with pale eyes, rubbed his face, and suddenly saw Luo sitting at the dining table through his fingers.

    "Luo? Why are you here?"

    There was a square box on Luo's lap, and he waited until Lianyun approached before opening the box towards her.

    They are still familiar gems, and Luo seems to have a soft spot for these jewels.

    This time there are two different colors. Luo reached out and groped for the blue gemstone on the left, and explained to Lianyun with a slight smile: "This is an internal response that you can bring to the main city."

    His fingertips quickly moved to another pale pink gemstone: "You keep this one." "

    This way you and the other party can communicate."

    Lian Yun blinked, obviously not yet relieved.

    "I came up with this last night. I thought it would be a good idea to have a long-distance conversation with you through the tree of life." I just never thought of how to do it

    .

    Until last night, he was worried because Lianyun was going to the main city, and he thought of this again in a hurry, thinking like a spring, thinking of a way that might work.

    These gemstones can be used not only as precious jewelry, but also as carriers of energy.

    This is what Luo had already figured out when he gave Lianyun the necklace that could convey information.

    At that time, the function of the necklace had already reached the level where one party could obtain information, and it only needed a little improvement, the form of energy conversion inside—this required new magic.

    It's not difficult to say this, but the average magician really can't figure it out and won't waste time training and pondering. Where can I find the skills?

    Mr. Rock, of course.

    Because of Lanna's obsession with taking him to the tailor's shop to "add clothes", he also accidentally learned that Mr. Rock often went to the tailor's shop several times.

    Out of curiosity, he asked the reason. It turned out that the great magician was keen on doing such cute little things.

    But now that his teaching tasks are extremely light, he doesn't have to deal with people like in the main city, and he doesn't have to run around with caravans to make a living. He is finally willing to show his true hobbies.

    This kind of magic, it is estimated that only Mr. Rock can research magicians in the whole continent.

    He knocked on Rock's door early in the morning. Fortunately, Rock was also a person who didn't sleep much, so he got up early.

    The two chatted for a while, and when Rock heard that the time limit was until noon today, he was so anxious that he almost lost his cloak.

    It was too late to blame Luo for asking late, and he started the test without stopping.

    "This is the finished product. Rock and I handed it over to the orcs for testing. Its sound clarity is very good within the town. But if it meets our expectations, the distance from here to the main city is not so good. It may not be particularly clear."

    "But it is enough." Lian Yun continued.

    Luo raised his head slightly, showing a smile waiting for praise.

    "This is very important, thank you, Luo." Lian Yun took a deep breath and said solemnly.

    With this, she can at least avoid staying too long in the main city.

    The longer the time, the more potential for trouble.

    She didn't think of this, but luckily Luo Congming thought of her wholeheartedly and spared no effort to find a way to do the test.

    "Thank you."

    Luo tilted his head slightly: "Can I have dinner with you?"

    Lian Yun knelt down and took the gemstone: "Don't worry, I will definitely be back."

    Lanna happened to come back from the outside, looking There was no accident to Luo, as if he already knew the results he brought.

    "My lord, shall we prepare first?" Lanna asked Xiang Lianyun, skipping Luo.

    Lian Yun nodded and thanked Luo again before leaving.

    On the way to the store, Lianyun glanced at Lanna while examining the gems.

    "Why didn't you hate Luo this time?"

    It was a bit like watching a drama.

    Lanna looked helplessly at the source of the "play": "He did a good job, I have no reason to hate."

    He even thanked Luo before practicing Yun.

    Lianyun let out an "oh".

    But after being quiet for a while, she suddenly heard Lanna beside her say: "...but that's all he can do."

    Still want him to protect adults.

    Lian Yun heard a lot of unwillingness, and pursed his lips a little funny.

    "Are things ready?" She naturally changed the subject.

    "A box of medicine bottles rushed out of the pharmacy has been moved into the store," Lanna said.

    Lian Yun nodded and said meaningfully: "I hope they can play their due role."

    The ultimate purpose of bringing the medicine bottle to the main city without soldiers is of course not to heal the wound...

    Lian Yun checked the box, whether it is glass Both the bottle and the potion were finally made in a short time, which is a good progress.

    As long as the wooden door opens at noon, Lian Yun can bring Lanna into the auction house again.

    However, the sun had just risen in the middle of the sky when there was a sudden knock on the door of the shop.

    Lianyun: "We will not open on Wednesday."

    There was a moment of silence outside the door.

    "My lord, it's me, Ike."

    ? !

    Lianyun and Lanna looked at each other, quickly got up and opened the door.

    Yike standing outside the door was exhausted, even thinner than his younger sister Hera who had a serious illness.

    He seemed to struggle with himself for a long time before he made up his mind to find Lianyun.

    Ike walked in and closed the door softly.

    He raised his tired-looking face, but his eyes were extremely determined.

    Before Lian Yun could ask him, Yi Ke knelt down straight after hearing a "plop".

    "My lord, please forgive me."

    Lian Yun was startled.

    In her impression, Yike has always had a strategizing smile on his face.

    Although his personality is not obvious, but he is a twin after all, and anyone can see that his pride and self-esteem will only be more than Hera's.

    Lian Yun knew that Yi Ke's purpose in coming here from the very beginning was bad, and she had been waiting for Yi Ke to make a move.

    Today's meeting Lianyun also thought about it, but she almost always thought of Yike who was either full of confidence or trying to negotiate terms with her, but she never thought that such a proud Yike would bend his knees.

    Even if he really did something wrong, at worst, leaving the town, Lian Yun would not make things difficult for him.

    ...why come here?

ʚChapter 146

    ====================

    "Stand up and speak."

    "No. Unless you promise me that no matter what I do wrong, Hera will not be implicated."

    Yi Looking at Lianyun, his eyes were firmer than ever before.

    Lian Yun was silent, stared at him for a while, and then slowly said: "Are you talking about conditions with me?"

    Yi Ke was startled, looked down at his knees, and seemed to realize his position.

    After a long time, he laughed lightly as if mocking himself.

    "I'll tell you everything I know. But this matter really has nothing to do with Hera, she doesn't know anything...Even now, she doesn't know anything." Yike's mouth was pursed into a straight

    line , as if using all his strength, he gave a pleading look.

    This time he didn't dodge, and looked directly at Lian Yun's probing eyes: "I'll tell you everything you want to know."

    Lian Yun didn't answer, she turned around, moved a chair with one hand, and pointed: "Sit."

    Yi Ke no longer hesitated, stood up obediently and sat on the chair, his movements were somewhat mechanical, but it did not affect his constant attention to Lian Yun's eyes.

    Lian Yun never knew that he cared so much about Hera.

    Although the two are twin siblings, no matter from the way he educated Hera or his laissez-faire attitude towards Hera at the beginning, it can't be seen that he has such deep feelings for Hera.

    For her, even the dignity can be given up.

    Lian Yun even felt that even if she asked him to trade his life now, he would not hesitate to mortgage his life for Hera in exchange for a future.

    But why does he think that Lianyun can give Hera's future?

    "I never thought Hera would be involved." Lian Yun also found a chair for himself, and looked at him.

    "If she really didn't participate in anything about you and the people behind you, I won't criticize her."

    She knew that if she didn't make this promise, Yi would not speak up.

    But she did.

    The grievances and grievances of the ancestors are not the crimes of our generation, so should we be punished continuously?

    She thinks modern society is pretty good.

    Yi Ke heard her word-for-word assurance, and finally explained his background clearly like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

    "You know, our grandpa is the assistant to the president of the Magicians Association, and I have also held this position." "I

    don't want to pass the responsibility on to others, but the fact is that the president took Hera's life to pay for it." Forced, let me bring her here."

    Lian Yun slightly raised his eyebrows: "I remember you wandered a lot with Hera and found here at the right time?"

    If there is no Lanna going to Kuoge City How could they find a small town if they chose immigrants, and this matter was obviously a coincidence.

    "That's right." Yi Ke clenched his fists, "They just have an element of gambling in it." "

    So I'm just part of what they sent out."

    Lian Yun's eyebrows jumped.

    "I can swear that everything I said is true," Yike stared closely at Lianyun's eyes, for fear that she would not believe his sincerity, "I am just one of many pawns, even dead. It doesn’t matter if it’s gone.”

    His mission is to find this place, and it doesn’t matter if he can’t find it, if he dies outside casually, who cares?

    Anyway, some are chess pieces.

    Lian Yun didn't understand: "How would they know of my existence?"

    Yi Ke shook his head: "This is beyond my knowledge. Maybe it's the Sun Moon God Sect, the town, or maybe you. My mission is to find The newly awakened town in the desert and..."

    "Watching you."

    Lian Yun was silent for a moment.

    "What information did you reveal?"

    Yike told all with a blank face: "I picked and picked and said some things that I knew before I followed you to the orc tribe." "...

    If I only It would be dangerous to hand over some useless information to Hera." Yike knew that no matter how he defended himself, it would be too weak, but he still couldn't help but wish to alleviate his fault in their eyes.

    Lian Yun narrowed his eyes slightly: "Before the orc tribe?"

    "Tell me honestly, does Luo's matter have anything to do with you?"

    Yike's heart tightened. Although he was ready, his throat was still extremely dry when he said it : "Yes."

    "It was the medicine I prescribed."

    "Crack!"

    Lian Yun had told himself countless times before asking, no matter what he said, he had to endure it, and wait for him to tell all the secrets.

    But she still couldn't hold back and stood up and slapped him.

    Lian Yun pointed at him panting, and gritted his teeth.

    "Luo has no grievances with you, you know that?"

    Yike turned his face to one side, but he didn't intend to hide.

    The hair covered his brows and eyes, only showing a lonely smile on the corner of his lips.

    "I know."

    Lanna lightly touched Lianyun's fingertips, signaling for her to calm down.

    Lianyun sat down again, adjusted his emotions, and his voice was much colder than before: "Why?"

    Yike was not affected by her emotions, and he seemed to have expected Lianyun's anger: "I received it." The news, they wanted me to poison Luo, and the poison was also taken from them."

    Even if he regretted it afterwards, he still couldn't come up with an antidote.

    "I guess, maybe I want you to speed up the pace of going to the elf forest." Yi Ke even calmly analyzed for Lian Yun from the perspective of the person behind him, "If they just want Luo's life, they won't hold back .”

    Lian Yun failed to calm down, uncontrollably linking one thing with another.

    She said with a slightly ironic voice: "Is that just the case? Hera and Luo had a quarrel the first time they saw each other, do you know about this?" Yike paused: "Yes." "Do

    n't

    you Don't you have the idea of ​​waiting for an opportunity to retaliate?"

    Lian Yun stared at him.

    Yike was able to sacrifice his life for Hera's protection. Who knows if he will pretend not to care because he loves his sister too much, but actually remember those who offended Hera to death.

    Yi Ke lowered his eyelashes, "...that's another matter."

    "So there is."

    Lian Yun thought right.

    Yi Ke closed his eyes: "I don't know why what he said is so close to the truth, I'm just too scared." "Is there anything else

    you're afraid of? Let me think about it," Lian Yun paused, and smiled unhappily "So it must be related to Hera's life?"

    What did Luo say at the beginning?

    ...he said Hera's magic was stolen.

    "Can you still steal magic?" Lian Yun tilted his head.

    Yike seemed to be unable to restrain the surging emotions in his heart. He deliberately avoided looking into Shang Lianyun's eyes, so he could barely speak with a trembling body: "That's not what she wanted." Hera is very talented, but her current ability is obviously not at this

    age The level that an ordinary child can achieve,

    "It was poured into her by others,"

    "Who?"

    "I don't know."

    Yike slowly folded his arms, lowered his body, put his forehead between his knees, and curled up into a ball with his head in his arms.

    The voice also began to tremble.

    "I don't know, I don't know when we grew up together, when she was quietly infused with other energy, where did it come from, who did it..." He didn't even know

    .

    Hera, who has never left her for more than a whole day, has been held and cared for by him since she was a child.

    It was hard for him to accept that these things happened to Hera under his protection.

    He claimed to be smart, but he didn't realize it. He just thought it was Hera's talent.

    Until someone threatened him with these, forcing him to fall from the sun to a dark and damp alley corner, becoming a mouse that secretly pryed out other people's secrets.

    Also pulling Hera who has never seen darkness.

    And he didn't even have the right to refuse.

    Because he has a weakness - his sister, Hera.

    "She never knew what happened to her, and I don't want her to know."

    So when he knew what Luo said to Hera, his heart was lifted instantly.

    Hera was the only sunshine he could see.

    He supported it hard, just for this.

    Lian Yun's mood gradually calmed down.

    "Why can they threaten Hera's life?"

    "It's those energies."

    Yike said quickly.

    He raised his head suddenly, "Master, do you remember the village you cleared? On the day you went, Hera suddenly seemed to lose all her strength."

    Lian Yun took a tight breath: "...you mean, Hera The energy of the source comes from that village?"

    How is it possible?

    What is the connection between the two?

    "That's it." Yike's eyes were bloodshot, but his expression was very firm.

    He will never forget the scene in front of him when he rushed to the scene after being informed that Hera had passed out.

    Hera seemed to be drained of vitality bit by bit, the brilliance in her eyes gradually dimmed, and the hand holding him gradually weakened.

    It was as if... the next second would slip from his hands.

    He desperately wanted to know why this was happening.

    He vaguely felt that the matter must be related to what Lianyun was doing, and he asked the first time Lianyun sent someone back to send a message.

    When the timelines align, the events overlap.

    And there was nothing he could do.

    He thought that as long as he silently made a chess piece that would be crushed by one side at any time, he could get back Hera's safety.

    It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he was just deceiving himself and others.

    Since the beginning of offering freedom, neither he nor Hera had long since lost the power to control their own destiny.

    Lian Yun lowered his head slightly: "What about that period of time?"

    If Hera's life force has been passing away, how did he maintain it until she came back?

    Even if Lian Yun didn't go to see them, Yi Ke wouldn't have thought of asking her for help?

    Then how to solve it?

    Yike raised his head, his eyes were black and blue, and he showed a tired and slack smile.

    He raised his right hand, and under the gaze of the two, a ball of flame burned out of thin air in his palm.

    "I'm also a fire magician."

    "The Magician's Association won't let people who don't have magic talent to work, even if they are odd jobs."

    Like his sister, he has fire talent, but his ability is more like The tip of the iceberg, seemingly ordinary but profound.

    "I don't know if this is the reason why they chose Hera instead of me."

    At that moment, he suddenly realized that he should hide his ability as much as possible, and maybe one day he could become a leverage to help the two of them.

    It's just that no matter how much he dedicates his strength, he will never be able to fill Hera's life that is constantly being emptied.

    "I was almost, just about to give up."

    Yike recalled his own madness day and night.

    Lo had done nothing wrong, Buck had done nothing wrong, and everyone he had hurt had done nothing wrong.

    But what did Hera do wrong?

    Why did she have to suffer this?

    ... If God is really willing to watch this farce, he will let it watch enough.

    Even if he dies, he must grab everything he can reach.

    He thought crazily.

    --------------------

    The author has something to say:

    light is fine, and darkness is fine.

    One thought.

ʚChapter 147

    =====================

    until Lianyun came to their yard.

    "I don't know where your medicine came from, but...it's like a miracle."

    He thought he was in a desperate situation, but he didn't expect that as the medicine was taken by Hera, Hera actually slowly began to recover. Spirit.

    The kind of tormented by worry and fear day and night, he suffered no less pain than Hera lying on the bed.

    He never wanted to experience that memory again.

    "...I am willing to bear all the punishments, as long as Hera can become a resident of the town." Yike paused.

    "Is it because there will be medicine here at any time?"

    Yike shook his head: "Your medicine made up for the deficiency of Hera's body and replaced the position of those energies... Hera hasn't noticed it yet, but she is now in Hera's The ability is not as good as before."

    And he was very happy, because it meant that those energies were slowly leaving her body.

    One day, she will become a normal magician, and the magical energy she releases comes entirely from herself.

    "The main city, we can't go back."

    After he was cured in Hera, or as early as he returned from the orc tribe, he began to hesitate about his choice.

    While he was very willing to see Hera blend in here, he was worried that those people would threaten Hera's life because he didn't deliver the information in time.

    The moment Hera fell, he panicked thinking it was their warning.

    Until Lianyun saved Hera's life.

    Yike calmly realized that such an outcome was simply a transfer of their lives from one hand to the other.

    Still fragile, still sad.

    But this is the only way out for Iko and Hera, the best choice they can find.

    "She likes life here, even much happier than in the main city." Yike closed his eyes slightly, "That's enough." In all fairness,

    this place is far better than the main city.

    "I know." Lian Yun nodded.

    Hera was used to life here now, and this place was more suitable for her future life than any other place.

    "I promise you."

    "If you want, both you and Hera can become residents."

    Yike was taken aback.

    He murmured: "I don't understand, I have done so many wrong things..." "

    It's not wrong, I just sold my life to the wrong person."

    Lian Yun didn't explain, she took out something out of thin air, He handed it over.

    "Your life is in my hands now, so I'll save your life, okay?"

    Yi Ke looked at the blue gemstone in her hand, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

    He raised his head to look at Lianyun.

    "Take it, and follow me later."

    Yi Ke took the gem and put it in his arms solemnly.

    He didn't ask much, in fact, even if it was something that could explode at any time, he would take it without hesitation.

    At noon the sun rose high into the sky, Lian Yun drank the last sip of water in his glass and stared at the wall in front of him.

    With a burst of golden light, the wooden door appeared.

    Lianyun stood up, and the two people beside her also stood up quickly, and followed her to the wooden door.

    "..."

    "Okay."

    The man nodded nervously, his hands were sweaty, and he took the cloth towel on the doorknob to wipe his hands.

    He stared at the metal door, tried to take deep breaths to adjust his heartbeat, until he slowly calmed down.

    Finally, he asked the usual question - "Guest, are you here?" "

    ..."

    "Yeah."

    After receiving the response, he suddenly became nervous again, as if the adjustment just now was in vain.

    The man's hand fell on the doorknob, squeezed and loosened.

    He gritted his teeth, but still walked in bravely.

    He looked up and found that this time it was three people.

    Wearing a cloak neatly, he looked like a member of a mysterious organization.

    But the Sun Moon God Sect they belonged to really had a great reputation.

    Especially this week, there has been a storm in the main city.

    "Guest, guest." As soon as he said it, he was surprised by his stumbling.

    Even though I practiced so many times, I still stumbled.

    But the girl on the sofa and the two people behind her didn't seem to notice his overly nervous mood, and didn't even look back.

    "Has the person from No. 64 next door arrived?"

    the girl on the sofa asked.

    The man quickly responded: "Here we are, we've arrived a long time ago. He said he will tell him when you come." "

    Go and call him now."

    "Ah?" The man was taken aback, then nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"

    He exited the room, and as soon as he closed the door, the person behind him patted him on the shoulder.

    The man turned his head and looked at the people in white robes and black robes in front of him, he couldn't wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead.

    The black-robed man and the white-running man stood on both sides clearly, and did not communicate with each other until the man came out, and they each sent a respectable person to step forward.

    "How is it?"

    The man bent over and grinned stiffly: "The guest only said that he wants Master Moge to see him."

    "She really appeared?"

    "How is it possible? We have been guarding here, and we haven't felt any magic fluctuations..." " ...This     must

    be a great magician!?"

Pot, because the men talked about it.

    There was genuine surprise and confusion in their eyes.

    The leader in black robe glanced at those in white clothes, and sneered with the corners of his mouth pulled up.

    "What does your association do? You don't even know when a great magician came out."

    The leader of the white-robed man cast a suspicious glance at the speaker: "Since you are a member of our magician's association, why don't you What are you doing here?"

    "Oh? You just want to win over? I see the recent momentum in the city. I'm afraid people don't like your association?

    " Become the fourth force."

    "What do you think?"

    The white-robed man wanted to speak again, only to hear the metal door next door being opened with a "creak".

    Mogo walked out with long legs, surrounded by her female companion who hadn't changed for three weeks. She took Mogo's arm and blew a kiss to the people who were watching her.

    Many people quickly looked away.

    However, the robed men headed by the two sides locked their eyes on the proud Mogo.

    "Master Mogo, we agreed, right?"

    Mogo glanced at them miserably, and frowned impatiently: "Nonsense."

    "Stay out of the way."

    The man in black and the man in white looked at each other glance.

    Although they all came with orders, their rank was far from enough to block Mogo's way.

    They silently moved out of the way, but they did not forget to keep their eyes on Mogo, warning over and over again: "Master Mogo, don't forget our agreement. I don't think you want to let the entire Hewlett family Are you having trouble with us?"

    Mogo quickened his pace and walked around them.

    Until the moment before the door was opened, they were still chattering: "Just have a cup of tea, Master Mogo, tell the 'God Cult' inside, just, have a cup of tea." The door was closed again, completely cutting off their

    voices outer.

    The two leaders waved their hands, and immediately someone moved two chairs. They stared at the door and leaned on the back of the chairs, with strategizing smiles at the corners of their mouths.

    Religion?

    Ghosts will admit it.

    If it wasn't because the task above was to "invite" living people, why would they be so polite.

    "Mogo."

    "Lianyun! It's really you."

    Once Mogo entered the room, he looked around nervously.

    "Don't worry, there's no magic here." Lian Yun quickly explained, "We've checked it."

    Alicia couldn't help but took two steps forward, holding Lian Yun's hand tightly, the concern in her eyes It was about to overflow: "My lord, my daughter? Have you found it? How is she!" "

    Everything is fine." Lian Yun responded to him seriously, "She and Bernie are with us, and Lena often goes to see them Play."

    Alicia covered her mouth and collapsed on the sofa as if she was exhausted, unable to hold back her tears.

    "I really found it..."

    Mo Ge glanced at his cousin, and while he was happy for her, he didn't forget to urge Lian Yun: "You guys go quickly."

    "The Mage Association and the nobles are all waiting for you outside."

    Mo Ge Ge spoke faster: "I told them that you have to wait for a while before leaving, so they haven't forced their way in yet."

    "If they really want to arrest you..."

    Lian Yun looked at the metal door and said, "I know."

    The thick malice and hostility almost turned into reality.

    Isn't danger waiting for her here?

    But the door on the wall has not appeared for a long time.

    Mo Ge was stunned, unbelievable: "You, you can't leave now?"

    Lian Yun spread his hands, "You have guessed my biggest secret."

    "You're still joking!" Mo Ge really panicked now, He rubbed his hair, and saw two people behind her: "...Just these two people! You only brought two people here? How can you beat this!?" "Otherwise, what are you going to do?" Lian

    Yun Ask back, "If I take Alicia away, how are you going to deal with it alone?"

    Mogo stopped and took a long breath: "No, the Hewlett family will take care of it for me.

    " The people from the Sun Moon God Sect let go? Do you think they want to solve the problem first or you first?"

    How could Mogo not think of it?

    He frowned: "Anyway, I'm the sole heir. They dare not do anything to me. In the worst case, they will ground their feet. They won't be able to go out for ten days and a half months..." "Then how can you help me?" Lian Yun

    suddenly Said.

    Mogo paused and looked at the girl in front of him.

    "You... trust me?"

    The girl raised her hand and took off her cloak and hat without saying a word.

    The girl's face was shown in front of him for the first time, with black hair and black eyes, a pair of almond eyes hiding a smile.

    Young but mature.

    helpless.

    But it seemed like everything was under her control.

    Lan Na was about to move and wanted to stop Lian Yun's hand, but in the end he couldn't reach out.

    My lord did not give up on the line of Mogo.

    "What do you think?"

    Mo Ge shook his head slightly, and laughed: "... Lian Yun, you are so brave."

    He quickly calmed down, and met Lian Yun's inviting eyes: "But you can make sure Won't you be arrested? Even if they are polite on the surface for a while, they will never let you go easily."

    Lian Yun curled his lips.

    "If you're willing to believe me... I'll give it a try and take you out."

    Another man behind her said suddenly.

    Lianyun turned his head and looked at Yike with great interest.

    --------------------

    The author has something to say:

    Lianyun: trade-off? Won't.

    She wants it all.

    Talk about what Yike knows.

    _

    "!"

    They thought it was someone from that mysterious organization, or Mogo, but they never expected it to be him!

    "Yike? Why are you here?"

    The white-robed man was stunned, and repeatedly confirmed that he was not mistaken, and his expression was even more incredible.

    "I don't know who it is, so it's you." Yi Ke closed his cloak and smiled slightly: "Are you surprised? Larry." The

    leading man in white robe called "Larry" took two steps forward, with his back to the black man. The robed man lowered his voice a little nervously: "Why are you back? You shouldn't be here..."

    At this point, he suddenly stopped, and raised his head to look at Yike thoughtfully: "...No way? "

    Why not?" Yike glanced at him, straightened his back, "Isn't it meeting the president's expectations?"

    Larry twitched his lips, smiling a little stiffly: "...It's just that you haven't been notified when you come back , what if the chairman disagrees? Besides, your task has not been completed yet, why..." "

    Really?" Yike interrupted him mercilessly, narrowing his eyes dangerously, his smile unchanged .

    He spread his arms, showing a proud look: "Do you think that my task is not completed?"

    Larry was taken aback for a moment, then gritted his teeth, his face turned pale and blue.

    That's right, who would have thought that the member of the Sun Moon God Sect they had been waiting for for so long was actually Yike who had been sent out early?

    If he hadn't appeared here today, how would he know that Yike is still alive!

    The news had been cut off a long time ago, and they always thought that Yi Ke had been discovered.

    But now he actually got into this position in the Sun Moon God Sect?

    "... Well done," Larry praised dryly, "The president will definitely reward you." "

    Of course, wait, don't you know?" Yike raised his eyebrows.

    Larry asked subconsciously: "What?"

    "The president has long said that he would reward me, but you didn't know?" Yi Ke looked surprised, "Larry, Larry, you tried your best to squeeze me away, Could it be that

    you don’t even have the right to know the president’s decision?” “That’s right, with your IQ, it’s only luck that you can get into the president’s eyes.” “Otherwise

    , I’m in the church. I have learned a lot of new magic, and there is a lucky charm, maybe you need it very much?"

    "Don't deceive me too much, Ike." Larry suppressed his emotions in front of all his subordinates and opponents, but he almost wanted to The name of the man on the opposite side was crushed.

    "Don't think that you can walk sideways now that you have credit, don't forget! Your sister's life is still in the hands of the president!"

    Larry reminded himself viciously, and it really aroused Yi Ke's "bad" memory.

    Seeing the man's eyes gradually darken, Larry suddenly felt that he had won the game, and he felt a little more happy.

    "It's not your turn to remind me." Yike said coldly, "Go away."

    Larry laughed in his heart. He became angry from embarrassment, and pretended to be concerned: "You still have to leave and go back to take care of your sister? It seems that this time You have to take credit for the chairman, otherwise what will Hera do?"

    Yike kicked open the metal door with a cold face, and the people inside all looked at him, two people wearing the same cloak, one tall and one short Everyone said in unison: "Lord Yike."

    "Let's go."

    Yike gave the order, and the two people inside followed immediately.

    "Wait, where are you going?" Larry said suddenly.

    Yike stared at him coldly: "I went to 'ask for credit', does it have anything to do with you?"

    Larry didn't speak, but walked towards Lianyun and Lanna, and walked around them while rubbing his chin.

    "Take off the hat and let me have a look."

    The two remained unmoved.

    Larry looked at Ike.

    The latter had a bad tone: "What are you looking at me for?"

    Combined with Yi Ke's black face just now, he seemed to have guessed something, and let out a meaningful smile: "Oh——"

    Lian Yun clenched his fists tightly. It doesn't matter if you take off your hat by yourself, but Lanna is a person who once stayed in the main city, but it's not easy to fool around.

    "I thought you were a high-ranking official, why, are you still under surveillance?" Larry walked up to Yike, looked at him with a smile, quite proud of his heart, "Seeing that you 'give up' the position to me For the sake of it, my brother will give you face today and let you go back to avoid scolding."

    "How is it? Interesting enough?"

    Lianyun's hand suddenly relaxed.

    There was boredom in the corners of Yike's eyes, and he gave Larry a hard look as if he had been poked in the center of his mind: "I said, get out."

    Larry took a step back: "No."

    Mogo and Alicia behind were also very angry. He walked out quickly, and looked at the leader Larry and the man in black with no expression on his face.

    "Since you already have an insider, why are you wasting my time?"

    Facing the sole heir of the Hewlett family, the condescending reminder just now was just that they relied on the orders from above to pretend to be powerful. Now there is no such order, magic It's good that the members of the Teachers' Association have bargaining chips, but the nobles where the black-robed man belongs have lost all their advantages.

    "Master Moge, I'm leaving first." The black-robed man saluted with great respect, and turned away with his subordinates without stopping.

    He didn't want to mess with Mogo, at least his position wasn't enough for him.

    Larry watched several people walk away, and looked back at Mogo.

    Now the little famous head of the Sun Moon God Cult belonged to his own family. Although he didn't like Yike, he was still a member of the association after all, which gave him the courage to stand up and speak.

    "Master Mogo, were they the ones you met last time?"

    Mogo hated the man's two faces, and didn't intend to give him a good look: "No, but he has been following him."

    Larry nodded: "That's nothing, I'm going to report back."

    "Wait a minute." Mogo said suddenly, and when he was stared at a little nervously, he slowly said: "Then what did we agree? I'll bring them out , whether it is profits or anything else,

    we will share it together." Larry forced a smile on his face: "This... is out of my control. As you can see, I know that person. This is not what we agreed on before. Premise."

    Mo Ge frowned slightly: "Does your association want to take it for yourself?"

    "Don't dare to say it, dare not say it."

    Mo Ge stared at him unhappily, and the latter forced a smile.

    Suddenly, Mogo raised his head: "Are you free now? Maybe we can talk in detail? After all, you are also someone close to the president."

    Larry was taken aback, as if he didn't quite believe what he just heard.

    ... Mogo Hewlett trying to win him over?

    The current situation has been turned upside down. Not only has he swapped positions with Mogo just now, but now the other party wants to win him over? !

    Great God, no one will believe you if you tell me.

    But he did it!

    He, Larry, will soon win over the sole heir of the absolutely neutral Hewlett family, one of the main city's triumvirate?

    God can imagine, what will be his status in the Association of Magicians by then!

    Larry was overjoyed and anxious, eager to agree, but nodded with feigned reserve.

    Mogo pretended to be relieved, then turned his head to the female companion beside him unintentionally: "Don't follow us when we are talking about business, go back by yourself." Alicia stood on tiptoe coquettishly, touching Mogo's

    cheek When she kissed her, the eyes of those around her became hot.

    Alicia waved her hand: "Goodbye, Mogo."

    Mogo took a deep look at her: "Goodbye."

    The puppet pulled the cart and passed them, as if they couldn't see them.

    Gorgeously dressed people walked by the street talking and laughing, some wearing masks, some with high collars turned up, no one paid attention to these few people whose faces could not be seen clearly.

    It's just that their direction is different from everyone else's.

    "The exit is ahead."

    Without Yi Ke's special explanation, the two of them could deduce where these people came from from the puppet driver.

    "Fortunately, it's him..."

    Yike recalled Mogo's description of the white-robed man's appearance, and immediately deduced that it was Larry who replaced him as the president's assistant after he left.

    This person is not smart enough, but more than stupid, generally speaking, he is the fool that the president likes to use.

    Yike knew that Larry must have had something to do with the forced threats of himself and Hera, but he really didn't have much hatred for Larry.

    He sat in that position because he was stepping on himself, such a lucky thing is rare.

    Even if he didn't know what they were going to do next, Larry couldn't be proud for long.

    As the few people quickened their pace, they heard Yike suppress his voice: "My family will definitely not be able to go back. Did Mogo say that he can provide any place?"

    Lian Yun responded in a low voice: "His property is in the family. There are very few private ones, especially the other two parties have been staring at them too much lately."

    Even if he dared to provide it, they didn't dare to go.

    "Let's wait for Alicia at the exit later, and then find a place to go." Lian Yun suggested, "Larry should be held by Mogo for a while." "

    My lord," Lanna said suddenly.

    "Before I was exiled, I had a residence in the main city, which can be used as a shelter temporarily."

    Lian Yun turned his head in surprise: "Reliable?"

    Yi Ke couldn't help interjecting: "Your previous residence has been confiscated, Don't you remember?"

    Lian Yun remembered that Lanna had said that Yi Ke knew him, but he didn't expect to know so clearly?

    The three of them had almost reached the exit, and the people here acted in a slow manner, so they had no choice but to slow down.

    I can see that Lanna didn't speak, and slowed down to get closer to Lanna.

    "To be honest, the reason I know you is because of that mission, but don't hold grudges, last time I said that just to provoke you."

    Lanna: ... Thank you, the blood pressure has really been raised.

    "Not that," Lanner said.

    This time Yike was really surprised: "Do you have another place to live?"

    The two major forces in the main city have always acted and never left anyone a way out. Especially for exiled people like Lanna, how could they leave spare resources?

    Lanna pursed his lips in the darkness, as if he didn't want to fall into memories.

    He shook his head lightly: "I'll find out when I take you there."

    --------------------

    The author has something to say:

    finally Lanna's life experience is coming !

ʚChapter 149

    =====================

    They are standing near the exit of the underground street.

    In the distance is a huge circle of light emitting light, whose face cannot be seen clearly.

    People kept coming out of the aperture, getting into the car pulled by the puppet, and slowly moving away.

    Following Lianyun's instructions, several people carefully observed the movements and expressions of those puppets.

    Beside them were parked several wooden puppets sitting in front of the car with expressionless faces. Lianyun tried to talk to them, but as soon as they approached, they stood up and prepared to leave as soon as Lianyun got in the car.

    However, any questions Lian Yun asked did not receive a response.

    "My lord."

    Seeing Lian Yun's slightly disappointed expression, Lanna couldn't help comforting him in a low voice: "It's okay, didn't Mogo already give you the clue?"

    Lian Yun nodded, but his mood didn't improve either.

    She made an agreement with Mogo last time that she would go to Alicia's daughter, and Mogo would find information about the origin of these puppets for her.

    However, the information he got was very little, so Lian Yun could only go to the ground to search for the information he provided with the mood of giving it a try.

    If you really can't find them, I'm afraid there's no way to take these puppets away.

    Lian Yun pursed his lips, and asked the puppet next to him softly, "You really don't understand me? Maybe, you will have your own consciousness?" The man's hair covered his eyes, and his lips were a little

    shriveled , There is no slight fluctuation on the face.

    Lian Yun looked away silently, and suddenly a person came towards them not far away. On her face was a golden mask that covered half of her face, and the lower half of her face showed delicate red lips.

    Yi Ke breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that Larry has been dragged down."

    Alicia walked in front of them and nodded to them: "Let's go."

    Several people looked at each other and walked towards the aperture.

    The moment they passed through the aperture, several people closed their eyes, feeling nothing.

    Open your eyes again, and there is already another look in front of you.

    It was still afternoon on the ground, the sun was shining brightly, there was no need for street lamps to illuminate, the streets were noisy, and the roadsides on both sides were extremely lively.

    From time to time, people in black and white robes walked quickly on the street, and pedestrians gave way wherever they went.

    This is the clamor of the main city.

    It is also a privileged field belonging to magicians and nobles.

    "Here, as long as you have the status of a magician and a nobleman, you can do a lot of things." Alicia said while taking a few people aside to prepare them to change into robes.

    Lanner refused.

    "You can't wear this when you're going to the place later." Lanna explained.

    Yike was silent for a few moments, and suddenly asked: "The residence you mentioned...couldn't be the third street?"

    Seeing Lanna's silent acquiescence, Yike suddenly realized, squinting his eyes slightly, more and more aware that the man in front of him was really not simple.

    Lanna led the way. Even though he had been away for a while, he still grew up in the main city and was still very familiar with it.

    While walking, Lian Yun quietly asked Yi Ke beside him: "Third Street?"

    Yi Ke glanced at the girl, as if he was a little surprised that Lanna hadn't told the girl about it.

    He explained: "This street is not under the jurisdiction of the association and the nobles. It's not a big place, but there are everyone there."

    Although it's not a big place, it's important under the constraints and jurisdiction of the main city. The existence of such a place in the capital is enough to prove how powerful the people inside are united.

    It can be regarded as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

    Ike paused: "I should have thought that if he still has a residence, it must be there."

    On the third street, whether it is the Association of Magicians or the noble search, they will deliberately avoid it.

    "I heard that there was a Hewlett family on Third Street before, but..." Yike glanced at Alicia: "Since the disappearance of the sole heir of the Hewlett family on Third Street caused a great uproar, no one has I think so."

    Alicia nodded: "You're right, Mogo did go to Third Street when he was a child, and the family was in a hurry, so they sent many people out to look for it, but they were stopped by the guards of Third Street I got it down...but luckily I found it in the end."

    "Mogo didn't say anything after returning home, but he studied harder."

    I don't know what kind of stimulation I got, but the result is good anyway, Mogo They didn't say what happened, they just wanted to look for them but they didn't know who to look for.

    They were very fast, and soon arrived at the legendary "Third Street".

    There is an arched iron gate at the entrance. In sharp contrast to the two-story building outside, behind the rusty "Third Street" plaque, on both sides of the narrow street, there are crowded buildings, each with at least six floors. building.

    The building also looks very old, the walls are yellow, and there are a few mildew spots that have not been dealt with. It feels quite crumbling.

    Yi Ke sighed: "Don't look at him so old, but he is very strong."

    When he was a child, he always thought that this building would collapse, but after so many years, it is still standing here.

    Several people stood at the door for a long time, and the passers-by inside turned their heads to look at them from time to time, with unfriendly expressions.

    "My lord, follow me." Lanna turned her head and said seriously to Lianyun.

    Lianyun was a little scared by the people inside, and he quickly shrank behind Lanna: "I'm ready!"

    Yi Ke followed with Alicia.

    Alicia took off her mask as soon as she came out of the underground. At first, they were a little worried that Alicia's conspicuous appearance would attract the attention of many people.

    But when they walked in, they found that although the place was dilapidated and crowded, the people's spiritual outlook and clothing were not behind the outside at all. Even the walls of the dark streets were advanced with glowing light strips... ...appears to be a substance similar to molten crystals.

    Lianyun: I would like to call it the cyberpunk street in the main city.

    Yike looked around: "It seems that Third Street has more resources than the association and nobles?"

    Lanna, who was walking in front, shook his head.

    "It's not necessarily mastery, it's just that there are more channels. As long as the money is in place, you can buy anything." It's not so much that

    they have rich resources, but that they have many circulation methods and a large area of ​​​​secret transactions.

    When Lian Yun heard the explanation, he thought of what Gailin said after he escaped from the new city: "So, the third street is about the same scale as the new city?" Lanner paused: "No." "...I do

    n't

    know How should I explain it, it's like..."

    Lanna stopped walking as he spoke.

    The next second, he took off his cloak hat.

    Several people were on full alert in an instant.

    "Hey! What are you doing?" Yike looked around nervously, and found that the people around him stopped moving when they saw Lanna.

    This is a small street, there is a restaurant on the corner, the business is good, even if there are many people in the afternoon.

    There are some small shops nearby, selling some daily necessities, and one is offering discounts, and there are constant comings and goings at the door.

    It's a bit difficult to run here.

    This made Yike even more at a loss: "You, where is your home?"

    The next second, he suddenly heard a voice: "Is it Lanna?"

    Turning his head, it was a woman in an apron serving guests. The old lady of Cai rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

    "Lanna!"

    Hearing this, some people stood up from their seats, and the bosses of all the shops opened their doors and looked out.

    The name "Lanna" seems to have received an extremely enthusiastic response, and people kept coming closer: "...It's really Lanna!" "

    You're back!" "...You're finally back!"

    Yi Kehao It took a long time to realize that these people knew Lanna, and judging from their expressions, they were very happy to see Lanna again.

    He also noticed that most of them were middle-aged and elderly.

    The old lady who was the first to recognize Lanna stretched out her hand tearfully to wipe the apron again and again, trying to touch Lanna's face to make sure she was right, but finally landed on his shoulder.

    "Son, you've changed."

    Lanna rarely showed a relaxed smile in front of people other than Lianyun: "I'm back."

    Yi Ke then saw the old lady suddenly reach out and punch Lanna, and Lanna backed away cooperatively step.

    "You! Where have you been all these years?! You haven't heard from the old man since he passed away. We thought..."

    The old lady suddenly choked up, holding back the tears in her eyes, which had been hidden in her heart for many years The feeling turned into a long sigh.

    "Go home and have a look. The old man's things are still there. We have someone to clean the room every week."

    Lanna nodded, "Thank you."

    "Say these words!" The old lady looked at the person behind him Three people: "These... are your friends, right? It's just right, the empty room is enough, I'll send you a few sets of bedding later." Yi Ke took the opportunity to take a step

    forward and saluted the old lady: "Hi, Auntie! My name is Yike."

    The old lady stretched out her hand with a smile, but frowned the moment she touched the other party, and subconsciously asked quickly: "Are you from the Association of Magicians?"

    Yike's face changed, and he wanted to withdraw his hand but was held tightly by the old lady. He felt that it was becoming more difficult to breathe, as if the energy in his whole body... was being sucked away along his arm!

    "Ma'am."

    As soon as Lan Na said, the old lady seemed to realize that this was a friend brought back by Lan Na, and quickly let go of her hand.

    "Oops! I'm sorry, child, the old lady is too excited, it hurts you to be pinched?"

    Yike moved his lips, shook his pinched white hand, and showed a stiff yet polite smile: "... ...no."

    He had an epiphany.

    Lanna's retreating action just now was definitely not a fake.

    "I'm really sorry," the aunt looked at the few people shyly, and grinned, "Recently, people from those two sides always enter the street, it's so annoying.

    " Yi Ke: ...

    "He used to be a member of the association, but he changed his career recently." Lanna explained, "Don't worry, he won't spread any news." The aunt smiled and nodded: "

    Lanna promises, I will Don't worry."

    "Oh, where are these two beautiful girls? What's their name?"

    Lian Yun under the cloak and hat was pitch black: "...Hello aunt, I'm Lian Yun."

    ------- -------------

    The author has something to say:

    Senior aunt, with insightful eyes!

ʚChapter 150

    ====================

    "Oh! Lianyun, that's a good name." The aunt smiled, "Yunyun, you and Lanna...?"

    Smart as a aunt, It can be seen from Lanner's actions that he has been protecting her behind him that Lanner's feelings for this girl are unusual.

    Lianyun was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Lanna, not knowing how to explain it.

    It's a good thing Lanner didn't let her face it herself.

    He took a step forward and shook his head seriously at the aunt: "This is..." "

    Okay, I won't say anything." The aunt quickly interrupted him with a smile, "Young people have their own ideas, don't be afraid, Madam will always support you!"

    Lian Yun: ...

    the two looked at each other helplessly.

    With so many people in front of them, it was difficult for them to explain Lian Yun's true identity. But Lianyun naturally didn't care about this, she nodded to Lanna, who bid farewell to everyone: "Let's go upstairs first." The

    aunt nodded repeatedly, took out the key from her pocket, and stuffed it into his hand: " I'll close the stalls here and go up, you go back first!"

    The people around also looked at them cheerfully: "Go back and rest."

    Lanna took the three of them and quickly found a building On the exterior stairs, the stairs are rusty but solid.

    This building has a total of six floors, and Lanna stopped when he reached the fifth floor.

    In front of him was an unremarkable iron door, which reminded Lianyun of the demolished buildings in his own world, but with the twist of the key, the door slowly opened, and there was another scene inside.

    The first thing that catches the eye is a piece of dark wood color, whether it is the floor or the wall, the surface is covered by dark wood, and it has been polished and wiped spotlessly, making it hard to bear to step on.

    Several people stepped in cautiously, followed Lanna through the corridor several meters long, and came to the living room.

    Several small wooden windows are opened high on the wall, as if to avoid sunlight and allow air to circulate.

    The fireplace hadn't been used for a long time, and there was no ashes in it except for a few logs.

    A dark brown couch is placed in front of the fireplace, and there is a single sofa of the same material beside it, and a copper floor candlestick is placed between the two sofas.

    Except for the candlesticks, other furniture was covered with a layer of dust-proof cloth to prevent dust from falling.

    One wall was turned into a book wall, and it was crowded with all kinds of books.

    Lianyun skipped one by one and found that the books were complicated, from cooking to fighting, from monster illustrations to social etiquette.

    Except that it is not as advanced as an encyclopedia, Lian Yun feels that this place is simply another library.

    And looking at the wear and tear on the sides of the books, you can also know that these books have been carefully read.

    "I lived here before I was twenty, with an old gentleman." Lanna walked up to Lianyun and explained softly.

    He is twenty-four now.

    "Did you read all these books?" Lian Yun looked at him.

    Lanna nodded: "When I was too young and illiterate, the old gentleman read it to me, and then I read it myself." "

    More than that, there are many more in the bedroom upstairs." Lanna paused, as if I remembered something.

    "...When I was a child, I didn't have much to do except read these books."

    Lanna glanced at the stairs at the end of the corridor, and said to the other two: "You guys go upstairs first, there are a few guest rooms upstairs, choose whatever you want. "

    Ike and Alicia walked to the stairs with great insight, while Lanna led Lianyun to the only bedroom on the fifth floor next to the living room.

    Without pausing for a moment, Lanner twisted the handle and opened the door.

    "This is where the old man lives."

    Lian Yun first saw the crystal ball on the black carpet in the center of the room.

    There was a simple single bed against the wall that didn't match the style of the whole room, which showed that the old gentleman didn't seem to care much about his quality of life.

    Apart from these, there are only a few coats hanging on the wall.

    When Lanna saw those clothes, he curled his lips and said, "They confiscated them."

    Everything remained as if he and the old man were still living here.

    Lian Yun couldn't hold back his curiosity, and seeing that Lanna was not in a bad mood, he simply asked: "That old gentleman, what is his identity?... Is he treating them well?

    " Here, I still have such a deep impression on Lanna.

    Lanna walked to the carpet in silence and sat down.

    Lian Yun followed his example and sat down beside him, quietly waiting for his response.

    "The old man is a fortune teller. He will try his best to help the neighbors and neighbors, and he never asks for anything in return."

    Lanna's voice was soft and slow. Lianyun saw him reach out and touch the bright crystal ball, showing a short smile.

    "It's that simple, everyone respects him, and the management of the Third Street has been in his hands for a while."

    Lian Yun was stunned: "The management of the Third Street?"

    Lanna nodded: "Then For a while, I haven't been able to be alone. Although he has connections and abilities, he doesn't really hold any real power in order to educate me."

    However, with a reputation of high morality, the old man prefers to solve problems for everyone than to sit in that position. Answer questions and answer life's problems.

    But he didn't waste this identity either. He gave the people on Third Street enough convenience and freedom during his management period. As long as he didn't violate morality, he would try his best to use this identity to help people.

    Until four years ago, he died of a serious illness.

    "In fact, he has long predicted that he will have such an ending."

    He also told Lanna this way early on. Lanna thought he would accept it calmly, but when the matter of the old man's death was settled, he couldn't stay here for a moment.

    There are memories of the old man everywhere.

    He took himself to study, took himself out to fight monsters in actual combat, and taught himself everything he might need.

    "He's a very good man." Lanna lowered his head and chuckled lightly.

    Lian Yun looked at the blond man beside him, and his heart moved slightly.

    "What about you?"

    Lanna raised his head to meet the girl's clear eyes.

    "Me?"

    Lian Yun nodded, suddenly realized that he might not really want to recall the past, and was about to speak, but the man had already started to talk.

    "I came here when I was ten."

    Before the age of ten, he lived in a very weak branch of the vampire noble family.

    Because he is a hybrid of human and vampire, his blood is not pure, and he was adopted, so he should not have attracted attention.

    But when he was ten years old, their house suddenly caught fire, and several people rushed in to kill the person who raised him.

    It was at this time that the old man rescued him and brought him back to Third Street.

    Because at that time he moved among the various families of the small family, although they did not have to worry about food and clothing, but they never gave affection, as if it was a cold task, and when it was finished, it was immediately handed over to the next family.

    Lanna didn't feel too sad, and quickly got used to the new life under the leadership of the old man.

    Studying on Monday, training on Tuesday, and going out to practice on Wednesday...

    Alternately, day after day, he has a lot more experience than his peers.

    "Even now, I am very grateful to the old man, without him..."

    I would not meet Lianyun now.

    Lan Na took a deep breath, with a strange light in his eyes, and looked deeply at Lian Yun: "My lord, he told me."

    Lian Yun was attracted by such eyes, and asked subconsciously, "What are you telling me?

    " One day, I will meet my god." Lanna's voice was deep and pleasant, and it entered Lianyun's ears, causing her heart to tremble.

    "I moved away from Third Street after his death, concealed my strength, and joined an adventure team."

    Four years later, the captain was poisoned during a mission, and he risked his life to save someone When you come out, your abilities will also be exposed.

    Not long after the captain returned to the city, the remaining toxins in his body relapsed, his temperament changed drastically, and he fought wantonly in the city with his sword, which caused a lot of impact.

    As the person who rescued the captain, Lanna was retreated by the survivors in the team to block the arrows. The main city finally sentenced him to be exiled and could never set foot in the main city again.

    In fact, this kind of punishment is not binding on Lanner. He is just tired of this place, everyone here, and every bad memory after leaving Third Street.

    There are also people who he used to be partners, but they pushed him out without hesitation at critical moments.

    These memories are like maggots attached to the bone, entangled him with no hope for life.

    He wants to end his life.

    But subconsciously, he still firmly remembers that when the old man just adopted him, when he was most depressed and powerless, he stared into his eyes and told him - "One day, you will meet your own god."

    "He will tell you what you mean."

    When he was young, he used this as the motivation for everything.

    When he grew up, he heard about the deeds of the first son of God and the second son of God, but he didn't want to believe in them.

    A person can only have one belief.

    Perhaps as early as the age of ten, yearning and devotion to that unknown god was rooted in his heart.

    It's just that in the repetition day after day, he forgot the purpose.

    Until he went to the desert with a heart that died under the sun.

    In the desperate fight with monsters without eating or drinking, under the scorching sun during the day, and under the covetousness of monsters around him at night, his willpower was almost exhausted, leaving only a vague idea.

    ——Is his god still there?

    Has He seen his efforts and persistence?

    Can he see the end of fate before he dies?

    The only answer to him was yellow sand and pain.

    The dry scar could not bleed blood, and the injured eye began to fester under the burning. He held the broken half of the sword, and he couldn't remember which monster's bone gap the other half was broken.

    He even had hallucinations, as if a deserted town appeared in front of him.

    It is sparsely populated and dilapidated, like a dead city.

    He walked silently, enduring severe pain, hoping to find a burial place that would not be eaten by monsters after death.

    Even a mirage.

    Suddenly, a light appeared in front of his eyes.

    With his only intact eye, he raised his head with difficulty, and in a blur, he saw a black-haired girl walking towards him.

    The long-lost hope bloomed in the blue eyes.

    It was clearly daytime, and the girl with an ignorant face tilted her head towards him, but the shimmering light around her was more dazzling than the blazing sun.

    Here comes his meaning.
