Barrier of Light

Lin Silk was holding a teacup and standing in front of the window sill. There were bursts of announcements coming from behind him.

"Today's maximum temperature in Central City is 9 degrees, and the minimum temperature is minus 3 degrees. It is sunny, with a northerly wind, and the air humidity is..."

Lin Silk silently looked at the green plants growing leaves outside the window, which kept trembling with the wind.

The wind is a bit strong today.

After a few seconds.

The announcement was interrupted by a crash.

A silver figure fell on his window sill.

Azhaer landed on the stone railing on the roof of the window, knelt slightly on one knee, and then slowly stood up, "Mr. Zhuxue, I came from Gubao."

The word "Gubao" made Lin Silk lower his eyes slightly.

He took a sip of tea and adjusted his glasses.

The light falls in the window and shines on the face of this feminine and handsome man. You can vaguely see a smile on this face.

Gubao Fortress is facing unprecedented "severe challenges", the rapid spread of mental toxins, and the imminent landing of the northern storm. The entire Central City has held emergency meetings for several days overnight, and learned that it is likely to use the rumored weapon. The inland nobles were all worried about the "Firefire Plan".

At this time, I really shouldn’t laugh.

So Zhuxue calmed down his expression in an instant and returned to his expressionless look.

He smiled a little, just because for more than ten years, the stubborn boy who wanted to see the fort in his dreams had surrendered to him.

The soldiers came to block it, the water came and the soil came to cover it up, and all the people he sent out were clearly arranged by Lin Lin.

Finally, the day has come.

Through the meetings over the past few days, Zhuxue has coordinated with the nobles in Central City and decided to mobilize inland forces to go north for support. If Lin Lin continues to refuse to give in, he may "miss the opportunity" again.

It's good...this boy didn't remain stubborn.

"If I guess correctly, he should have written a letter..."

Lin Silk looked at Azhaer with a smile.

This is the tradition of the Lin family.

"yes."

Azhaer was a little surprised.

Zhuxue stretched out his palm, preparing to welcome his "victory".

Then there was a brief silence.

Azhaer touched his pocket awkwardly, took out a varnished envelope, and said slowly: "He only wrote one letter, and it was addressed to Her Majesty the Queen..."

The spring breeze was kind to Lin Silk, and his smile suddenly became fixed.

Only wrote one?

"Lord Zhuxue, when I came back this time, I actually made a special trip to deliver a message to Her Majesty the Queen." A'zha'er said sincerely: "It's just that Lin Lin still asked me to deliver the message. Now that the Gubao is in dire straits, he asks for your help. , after that, he is willing to accept Central City’s dispatch.”

Zhuxue snorted coldly, looking very unhappy.

Azhaer didn't say much. After taking the news, he turned over and jumped back as lightly as a cat, disappeared from the light and shadow of the window sill, and soon disappeared without a trace.

Lin Silk stood there for a long time, stroking the teacup with her fingers, and the expression on her face slowly returned to calm.

This idiot.

How many years have passed, do you still remember the petty feud that was so big?

With such a huge trouble, wouldn't he be able to hold down Central City's troops without giving him a message?

…

…

Azhaer left the residence of Grand Duke Zhuxue and soon came to the military area of ​​​​the Central City. The extraordinary people who guard the royal family are stationed here. It is the largest castle area in Beizhou, and the fiefdoms of several great dukes are comparable to it. It pales in comparison, like a dim firefly meeting a bright moon. The emperors of Beizhou all lived here.

And now, the person who takes over this place is the first "Queen" in Beizhou's history.

She overthrew the violent rule of the previous emperor of Beizhou, brought hope to the people of Beizhou, ended the long royal war, and united the efforts of all the legions on this continent.

Countless people praise her, respect her, and worship her from the bottom of their hearts. She is the most influential woman in the five continents. There is only a halo but no shadow on her body. Search for this queen in the [Deep Sea]. Without data pruning, the spontaneous evaluation words that can be searched are often "the greatest", "the most noble", and "the most sacred".

Historians who study the history of Beizhou often associate such bright and innocent evaluations with the past events of Her Majesty the Queen.

The last person with such influence and such a positive image came from Dongzhou.

It's just twenty years that have drowned that person's "glow".

People remember.

People also forget.

A long time ago, when Her Majesty the Queen was still young, she grew up under the protection of Gu Changzhi.

Perhaps...this is one of the reasons why she grew up to be the empress.

There was silence in the castle where the Queen was, and the oil painting figures on both sides of the corridor who had been "living" for hundreds of years looked at each other in silence.

Except for the apostles, no one has the authority to step into this place at any time.

When you come here, you are often invited by the Queen.

In Beizhou, this is regarded as a great honor.

Azhaer moved all the way towards the location of the fire sensor in his heart, but before climbing to the second floor, he was stopped by a figure.

"Her Majesty the Queen...does not want to see anyone else."

The figure's voice was gentle and powerful.

Azhar raised his head blankly.

"Lord Legion Commander..."

The woman standing on the stairs leading from the first floor to the second floor was none other than the commander of the Survey Corps who had previously had a phone call with the Fort.

The Legion Commander's face was quite gentle, completely different from the voice over the communicator.

She has an oval face that is not so "resolute" and a pair of water-cut autumn eyes that reflect the light and are charming. She is a well-deserved classical beauty. It is a pity that as the iron-blooded figure who leads the Beizhou Army, such a face is not bonus.

So she doesn't show up very often.

Most of the time, he is in the Central City Military District, responsible for united front command and making big decisions.

Azhaer said in confusion: "I don't understand..."

She is His Majesty's [Apostle], possessing an extremely precious ray of fire power. This ray of power can allow His Majesty to transmit his spirit at any time. As long as he is in Beizhou, she can receive instructions from the throne.

Every move she makes is under His Majesty's control.

In a sense, she is a thought and a shadow of His Majesty.

Anyone could be anyone else, she would never be.

Take ten thousand steps back...

If you don't let yourself meet, why not directly convey the spirit?

The two looked at each other.

The legion commander explained softly: "Azha'er, you should know that His Majesty's mental state is very bad. The heart of the 'melting furnace' that supports the operation of the entire Beizhou is not underground, but here... She has been there during this period. Try, try to revive the heart that supports this land. The second floor is covered with sealed objects and formations to block the terrifying 'power of fire'. If you insist on entering it, it is not a good thing."

The power of an apostle comes from the same source as fire.

It is very likely that it will destroy the formation upstairs.

"I see."

Azhaer sighed softly.

"I'm here to deliver a message."

She took out the envelope with both hands and presented it, "Master Legion, please pass this letter to Her Majesty the Queen."

…

…

The world is quiet.

Under the "realm of truth", there was no sound in Gu Shen's ears.

Yuan Jia's soundproof mask can only eliminate low-level noise.

The "realm of truth" is truly isolated from all interference.

No matter the roar of the storm or the roar of the angry sea, no noise could be transmitted into the realm. Gu Shen stared expressionlessly at the "big umbrella" that was getting closer and closer to him!

The good news is that the Umbrella Line is close.

The bad news is that the speed of the storm has accelerated again.

The amount of "rubble" in front of us has reached an unimaginable level. Due to the terrifying attraction of the huge tornado, the mountain range will collapse and shatter even before it reaches the mountain... My group is almost carrying " "A Mountain" is moving forward. If there is no ruler of truth, even if the members of the team have ten lives, they will be ruined in this desperate rush.

Gu Shen's spirit has been trying to connect again.

His link object is Chu Ling.

Beyond the giant wall.

[Deep Sea] There is no signal... Logically speaking, this is an impossible link.

But now he needs the "Umbrella Line of Defense" to open a passage for himself. Only Chu Ling can do this. As long as he gives orders as [Deep Sea], then Gubao will know about his return in advance and cooperate with this time. action.

Gu Shen knew that countless [Sky Eyes] were arranged outside the umbrella defense line. These [Sky Eyes] could detect the movements and changes in the [Old World]. They must have been aware of this storm... It was just that he had used It is uncertain whether these [Eye of the Sky] can accurately convey the message of the [Old World] during the strong storm landing at this moment.

My group was almost drowned in the mighty snow and strong wind.

Really like ants.

"drop……"

"drop……"

"drop……"

Continuous requests for spiritual links have failed.

This is the first time since leaving the Great Wall that Gu Shen has felt such a real sense of emptiness and loneliness. Chu Ling will appear in any corner of the world, but not in this broken [old world].

There is no signal here.

…

…

At this moment, on a train heading towards nothingness.

Chu Ling was sitting on the ground of the carriage. There were pop-up information windows in front of and behind her. Those were the data she urgently mobilized. The [Sky Eyes] of the Umbrella Defense Line were rapidly shattering... and every [Sky Eye] ] were all targeted at the group of tiny figures in the storm under the mobilization of the source code.

The collection efficiency in the Kubao Inspection Room is extremely high.

They only saw that [Deep Sea] The speed of light provided the location coordinates of the explorer team, which were refreshed hundreds of times per second to confirm safety.

They cannot see.

In the virtual [Ling Ling Yao], there is such a girl waiting anxiously.

In this empty carriage, a lonely voice echoed repeatedly.

"Link request...link failed."

"Link request...link failed."

"Link application in progress..."

"Link failed."
