Barrier of Light

Zhong Yuan always stared at Gu Shen, carefully observing Gu Shen's reaction.

Zhong Yuan did not hide his intention of saying these words.

He thanked Gu Shen from the bottom of his heart for being able to bring his team members back to the fortress.

But he also doubted it from the bottom of his heart.

Who is this young man from Dongzhou who can do so many incredible things...

Especially after the nightmarish "Doru River Disaster" mission ended, he still had fresh memories of the horror of [River Poison].

"Your Excellency seems to have something in his words."

Gu Shen said calmly: "I don't know what the 'Dolu River disaster' and 'river poison' you are talking about are. I only know that... the 'spiritual toxin' that broke out in Gubao this time is not unsolvable." Even without my 'blazing fire', the Beizhou military should be able to solve the crisis, right?"

"certainly."

Zhong Yuan did not get any useful information from Gu Shen, so he apologized frankly: "I'm sorry... I was worrying too much. I've been too nervous these days and I'm a little suspicious."

The blond man's eyes were a little erratic, as if he was lost in memories: "Although it has the same source of power, the [river poison] of the Dolu River is much more powerful than the toxin you unblocked this time. It’s a mental toxin that brings despair to people... To this day, I still don’t want to recall the scene during the mission.”

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

No one knows better than him what homologous toxins mean!

The poison of the golden ear flower is the power created by the underworld fire... If the [river poison] in the Dolu River disaster area and the poison of the golden ear flower are really from the same source, then it means that there is also a "river poison" in the Dolu River. The power of Hellfire".

The mental toxin of Dolu River is much more powerful than the poison of Golden Spike Flower?

"About the Dolu River..."

Gu Shen hesitated for a moment and asked, "What exactly is that place?"

This is Beizhou's absolute secret.

With Chu Ling's current authority, it is not possible to read high-risk files with this level of confidentiality.

After Gu Shen spoke, he changed his tone and smiled: "Sorry... I'm just curious. If it's not convenient for you to answer, you don't need to answer."

"The senior military officials involved in the operation have all signed confidentiality agreements. I cannot tell you the details." Zhong Yuan shook his head: "If you are interested in the Duolu River, you might as well go to Central City. As far as I know, Duolu River Lu He may have another action next...and the legion commander seems to be very interested in you. If you meet a big shot like her in person, all your doubts will be answered."

"There is another operation. Hasn't Duoluhe already completed the crusade?" Gu Shen frowned.

"Ah……"

The blond man laughed lightly.

He avoided talking about the previous topic and said leisurely: "If nothing happens, in the next two days, Central City's 'invitation' will arrive at Gubao Fortress. As the hero of the [Maze Mission] and the benefactor who rescued Gubao, Beizhou will invite you to Central City to receive the 'conferment'."

Gu Shen asked with interest: "Awarded?"

"Don't get me wrong, all members who participated in the maze mission will be awarded the title." Zhong Yuan said calmly: "This maze mission is of great significance. You exposed the lies of the oasis in time, escaped from the storm, and completed the 'unrecognizable' mission." "Possible" mission, everything you have done is enough to bring hope to people. According to the information I learned from the Legion Commander, in terms of the difficulty of this mission and the influence of the "Hongzhong Incident", the Central Committee The city may award a first-class medal.”

Gu Shen was no stranger to the term first-class medal.

When they first set foot in the [Old World], Mo Hongyi and Zhu Xiao mentioned the first-class medal, which seemed to be the top honor in Beizhou.

Zhu Xiao’s original words at that time were: “Can a living person get this thing?”

Now that I think about it, these words are quite appropriate.

It is true that a first-class medal cannot be obtained by a living person.

If Gu Shen had not participated in this mission, then the entire team that went out this time would have been buried in the snowy mountain maze.

If he hadn't made a deal with the devil of the Rule of Truth, Gu Shen would also have fallen under the storm.

Lin Lin's report attributed the escape to [Gate].

But only Gu Shen, who has experienced everything personally, knows that this mission is a true narrow escape.

"There are a lot of people out there right now speculating that you're not going to Central City."

Zhong Yuan suddenly said: "After all, you are from outside the continent. Even if you get the 'conferment' from Beizhou, it has no real meaning. Someone in the Survey Corps made a bet with me, saying that after you complete the [Maze Mission], you will return to Dongzhou." …”

Gu Shen listened calmly.

Most of the people in power in the Beizhou Legion did not know the true purpose of their trip north.

During the maze mission, some information about the teacher and senior sister has been found.

In addition to the disappearance case of "Piyue City Fortress", he also wanted to hand-deliver Mr. Gu Changzhi's envelope to Her Majesty the Queen.

So Gu Shen would go to Central City no matter what.

And this conferment also gave him a just right reason.

"Congratulations, you can ask that guy for the bet in advance." Gu Shen said, "I have always been interested in Central City. I will leave as soon as the invitation arrives."

"No……"

Zhong Yuan shook his head and said seriously: "Before I met you, I was concerned about whether I could win the bet. After meeting you, I no longer care about the bet with that person. You are indeed very capable. He is also very talented. At this age, there are only a handful of geniuses in Beizhou who can cultivate their spiritual power beyond the current extraordinary realm."

Gu Shen laughed dumbly, he was familiar with this routine.

If you want to suppress it, you should first raise it.

"After the incident at Gubao Fortress, many important people in Beizhou have heard of your name." Zhong Yuan said solemnly: "In recent days, Beizhou has been uneasy. After the crisis of the Dolu River disaster subsided, another incident occurred. Regarding the storm in Gubao, Lord Zhuxue has already sent an invitation to the border defense line, and soon all the generals guarding the Beizhou Fortress will head to the Central City."

Gu Shen's expression also became serious.

It sounds like this is a "grand event".

"When we met at Jubi before, everyone was very 'friendly', but not everyone is so 'friendly'. As far as I know, there are people in the Beizhou military who dislike you very much." Zhong Yuan said bluntly: "No. Unexpectedly, this time Grand Duke Zhuxue invites the generals, and he will also go. So...if you go to Central City, you are likely to run into trouble."

Speaking of this, Zhong Yuan sighed helplessly: "So I hope you will consider it carefully before deciding whether to go to Central City to receive the 'conferment'."

Halfway through, Gu Shen understood what Zhong Yuan meant.

"Thank you for reminding."

He smiled and said: "Someone doesn't like me very much? Even Brother Zhongyuan dare not name him. It seems he is a big shot."

Gu Shen could tell that Zhong Yuan's reminder was purely out of kindness.

But this thing is really interesting.

His identity as "Pluto" has not been exposed.

This was Gu Shen's first time arriving in Beizhou. Before that, he had not had any contact with anyone on this land... except for the mysterious "Lingqi San" in the Ancient Literature Society.

Who wouldn't like themselves in this situation?

"He is indeed a big shot." Zhong Yuan said sincerely: "If you set off from Gubao and return to Dongzhou, there will be no friction."

After all, no matter how long the hands of the big shots in Beizhou are, they can't reach Dongzhou.

"I see……"

Gu Shen thought for a moment and said lightly: "Thank you."

Apart from that, there is no other expression.

It looks more like going to Central City?

Zhong Yuan was slightly startled, a little helpless.

He didn't expect that after he reminded him, Gu Shen's attitude seemed to become more determined.

Is there any trump card in this?

But this is Beizhou, is this guy so strong?

"All right……"

Seeing this, Zhong Yuan shook his head and stopped trying to persuade him. He solemnly said: "That guy's ability is very weird, and he also has a 'weird and unpredictable' sealed object. It's not convenient for me to reveal more information. You should be careful."

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows.

Said it was "inconvenient to disclose information"...

But when Zhong Yuan raised his finger, a wisp of fire was outlined at his fingertips.

He wears a ring on the index finger of his right hand. It is Beizhou's famous A-level sealed object [Phoenix Ring]. It is said that the flames in the [Phoenix Ring] can burn the spirit. This seems to be the same as the Gong family's bloodline [Garuda]. The powerful flame of the source... After this flame appeared, it directly triggered the trembling resonance of the "blazing fire" between Gu Shen's brows.

Fortunately, there is a golden hoop to suppress it.

Otherwise, the "blazing fire" will jump out from the eyebrows and compete with the phoenix flame.

Zhong Yuan turned and left.

Gu Shen quietly watched the word slowly burning and disappearing in the air.

"Meng."

Zhong Yuan left himself a surname.

This is an important message.

With the help of [Deep Sea], just one surname can often be used to target a group and narrow the scope.

Chu Ling, on the other hand, instantly searched out the important person named Meng among the senior officials in Beizhou... This turned out to be a popular surname in Beizhou, and there were dozens of people with the same surname as Lin.

The flames burned out after a few seconds.

Gu Shen looked at the list compiled in his mind and fell into deep thought.

It seemed that the big shot who hated him was really powerful... Zhong Yuan deliberately used the [Phoenix Ring] to burn out the last name of that big shot, obviously not wanting to leave any traces.

What kind of ability can capture the conversations that took place in the fort?

What kind of sealed object made Zhong Yuan act so cautiously?

After thinking for a moment, I really couldn't figure it out.

Gu Shen shook his head and simply put the question behind him.

He gave a brief summary of what happened in the cemetery, sent it to Lin Lin via email, and then left... and returned to his room.

Just close the door.

Gu Shen then released four wisps of blazing fire and guarded the four sides of the house. This was a force that had not been used to "seal" the Ruler of Truth.

He took out the broken cross pendant.

After wearing the ghost veil to ensure everything was safe, Gu Shen's spiritual power was immersed in the pendant.

He spoke to the huddled soul in the spiritual space.

"Hong Zhong..."

"wake up!"
