Are you crazy! You call this an assist?

As his vision dimmed briefly, Jiang Chen appeared in a dark-looking stone room.

Next to him was Nan Qixin, who came here through the portal first.

"Where is this?"

Jiang Chen asked curiously while looking around curiously.

It's quite dark inside, and you can only vaguely see many oval-shaped stones around it. Each one is about one meter high and looks like a big egg.

"This is located at the bottom of the tower, where everyone hides."

Nan Qixin said, and with a flick of her finger, a shimmering bead flew to the ceiling above her head.

Immediately, a soft shimmer illuminated the entire stone chamber.

"Where is everyone hiding?"

Jiang Chen wondered to himself while looking around.

Under a soft light, all the scenes here came into view.

This is a stone chamber with an area of ​​approximately thousands of square meters. Both the floor and the walls are made of the roughest rough earth and stone.

At the same time, there are nearly a hundred oval crystal stones placed on the ground. They are dark yellow, like pieces of amber.

Because it is slightly transparent, you can vaguely see blurry figures curled up among these crystal stones.

They look like... people!

"What's in these stones, people?"

Jiang Chen's eyelids trembled when he saw it, and he couldn't help but ask.

"yes."

Nan Qixin nodded and said: "These are the best children in our southern boundary city. They are sealed in the source stone and frozen in time."

"Why?"

Jiang Chen was very puzzled: "Why should they be sealed inside?"

Nan Qixin took a slight breath, and then said slowly:

"A long time ago, everyone who came to the extreme southern boundary city to enlist in the army could be recognized by the boundary city and receive a part of the power blessing."

"But more than a thousand years ago, due to an accident, Boundary City gradually stopped recognizing newcomers from outside. There were fewer and fewer people who could receive the blessing of power, and almost no one in Boundary City joined anymore."

"Therefore, the King of Zhennan of that generation made a decision. He would seal all the children recognized by Boundary City, as long as they were under six years old, in the source stone that could solidify time. A total of ninety-eight people were sealed. "

"The purpose is very simple. When the people in the border city grow old, we will release a child from the seal and continue to guard the border."

As Nan Qixin spoke, her eyes swept over the surrounding dark yellow crystal stones, with a trace of love in her eyes.

"It turns out that Sanqiu came out of these source stones. He was sealed thousands of years ago."

Jiang Chen suddenly realized and said.

"Yes, both Sanqiu and I are."

Nan Qixin nodded and continued: "Thousands of years ago, we were sealed together in the Origin Stone. More than a hundred years ago, the previous generation of King Zhennan released me when he was old and raised me until I was seventeen years old. , passed the title of King of Zhennan to me."

"Six years ago, when I was over a hundred years old, I released Sanqiu from the Origin Stone. I planned to train him until he was fifteen or sixteen years old, then let him travel, and then pass on the title of King of Zhennan to him. Now But it’s a little bit ahead of schedule.”

Nan Qixin briefly explained the ins and outs of the current situation in the extreme southern boundary city.

"In other words, as Sanqiu becomes the new generation of Zhennan Queen, she will have to guard the Boundary City alone. When he gets old, he will also unblock a successor from the Origin Stone."

Jiang Chen finally understood the situation here, and couldn't help but sigh: "But how long can this last? The southern boundary city will eventually dissipate." M..

"There are still eighty-eight sealed source stones here. Each generation of Zhennan King has been stationed here for more than a hundred years, and it can continue for nearly ten thousand years!"

Nan Qixin looked very resolute: "There will definitely be a way to do it by then, and the extreme southern boundary city will never disappear!"

"Ten thousand years...that's right. In such a long time, everything can happen."

Jiang Chen nodded and murmured.

"Go out, you should know everything you want to know. I will ask you to take care of Sanqiu during this trip."

With that said, Nan Qi waved his hand, and a space door appeared.

He stepped inside and disappeared through the door.

Jiang Chen followed closely behind and immediately appeared outside the stone tower.

…

More than two hours later, Sanqiu on the city wall completed his duty for the day. Wearing a crooked helmet and holding half a spear, he ran to the stone tower.

Jiang Chen and Nan Qixin were waiting for him here.

"Report to the King of Zhennan that Sanqiu has completed his duty at the city gate today and is now back to resume his duties!"

Immediately, Sanqiu said to Nan Qixin with a serious face.

"Sanqiu, I want to give you a new task."

Nan Qixin was silent for two seconds, and then spoke.

"What mission?"

Sanqiu couldn't help but be stunned. His mission was either to practice or to guard the city gate. He had never heard of any new missions.

"Now I order you to travel with Fanchen, and he will bring you back when the time comes!"

Nan Qixin said with a serious face.

"Out, going out?"

Sanqiu's mouth opened slightly, with disbelief in her eyes, "Are you going outside the city?"

"Yes, you can go wherever you want."

Nan Qixin nodded.

"Can I go outside?"

Sanqiu's eyes suddenly turned red, and she said with a look of ecstasy: "I can go see the outside world?! Great, great..."

As he spoke, he turned around involuntarily, and murmured with his head down: "Are there a lot of people outside? Will they hate me? I haven't been anywhere. I'm just a soldier in a marginal place. Will people outside look down on me..."

"No."

Jiang Chen's voice sounded, and he said seriously: "You are stationed in Jiecheng, everyone should thank you, you should be proud of your identity."

"Proud..."

Sanqiu raised his head and looked at Jiang Chen blankly.

"Let's go, Sanqiu, let's go out of the city!"

Jiang Chen didn't say much, patted the other's shoulder, and walked towards the city gate.

"Go."

Nan Qixin also raised his hand, indicating Sanqiu to leave.

"Yes!"

Sanqiu responded immediately, turned around and followed.

In this way, two figures, one big and one small, walked out of the city.

"I should also prepare..."

Looking at the backs of the two people gradually going away, Nan Qixin murmured in a low voice: "Pope of Light... I will definitely defeat you and become the strongest in the world!"
