Barrier of Light

"How's that unfortunate guy doing?"

Gu Shen got off the off-road vehicle.

Gu Nanfeng and his team were waiting not far away, having just finished talking with Beizhou senior officials.

"Already asleep."

Gu Shen glanced back at the car, recalling the scene of the tomb ghost snoring like thunder, and couldn't help but sigh, "The 'Traveler' incident had a big impact on him. During this period, all We need to rest. But if we want to decipher the ancient texts on the sky sheath, I’m afraid we have to choose another day to do it.”

Deciphering ancient texts is an extremely mentally draining task.

The spirit was shocked, no matter how talented Tsukauki was, deciphering ancient texts... would have to be postponed.

"That's okay." Gu Nanfeng nodded, "As long as others are fine."

"The reconstruction of the Iron Wall will take some time."

Gu Nanfeng held the wooden knife and looked at the tower not far behind him, and said: "During these days, I will take the Gu family to station at the Snow Cage Tower and be responsible for repairing the tundra prison."

"in addition……"

He said meaningfully: "The cooperation and docking between Dongzhou and Beizhou is about to begin."

Having said this, he cast a look, and Luo Yu understood it, and quickly left with the others.

Only Gu Nanfeng and Gu Shen were left in the snow.

"Your trip to Beizhou caused quite a stir."

Gu Nanfeng smiled and said: "No matter how big or small the noise in Central City is, we can hear it here... Madam was still asking me a few days ago, are you not planning to come back? If you don't come back, I'm afraid Nagano All the big shots will be uneasy, and some people are already speculating whether the Queen used her position as 'Grand Duke' to bribe you."

"Don't worry..." Gu Shen also smiled: "If it were just the position of the Grand Duke of Beizhou, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to bribe me."

After all, it has been several months since I arrived in Beizhou.

In fact, this time is not too long.

It's just that I just "happened".

After arriving in Beizhou, big news came one after another, especially the most shocking "Traveler Incident", which affected the entire world of extraordinary people in the five continents——

"On this trip, the most important thing about going to Beizhou...has been completed."

Gu Shen's voice was a little hoarse, "There are still some trivial matters left. After finishing them, I will return to Nagano."

"The Dongzhou Council already knows about Mr. Gu...Shu's matter."

Gu Nanfeng was silent for a while.

He took a deep breath: "Some people said that they would hold a funeral for the 'Grand Adjudicator', but this proposal was rejected... The old man, together with Chairman Zhou Wei, Mr. Shan, and other heads of the five families, retained the current adjudication office." The position of the Grand Adjudicator. Even Beizhou is willing to leave a door in the 'Piyue City Fortress', how can we acquiesce that Mr. Shu and the others have encountered something unexpected?"

Gu Shen looked at Gu Nanfeng gratefully.

Retaining the "Grand Adjudicator" is no small matter.

Gu Nanfeng's words just now were said easily. Gu Qilin, Zhou Wei, and Mr. Shan were moved out. It seemed that the big shots had reached a consensus, but in fact Gu Shen knew very well... After making this decision, Dongzhou There must have been a lot of controversy internally.

And Gu Nanfeng, who took all the "credit" from himself, must have contributed a lot in this turmoil.

"By the way, someone asked me to send you a letter."

Before leaving.

Gu Shen took out Meng Xizhou's letter.

Looking at the edge of the envelope that was tinged with light, Gu Nanfeng's expression became a little complicated. He stretched out his hand and took the thin letter paper, but it seemed as if he had taken over a heavy mountain...

Gu Shen was not interested in the content of the letter.

But he could tell that Gu Nanfeng was feeling mixed emotions at the moment.

The breakdown of Lin Meng's marriage has become known to everyone in the five continents.

Beizhou and Guangming City officially broke apart. Through the breakup of the Tundra Prison, Beizhou began to try to build a new "cooperative relationship" with Dongzhou... For the Gu family, this is of course a good thing.

But behind these major events was the sacrifice of the Goddess of Light.

As a beneficiary thousands of miles away, Gu Nanfeng both hopes that these things will happen, but also does not want these things to happen.

"The general trend is like a torrent, and destiny is not controlled by anyone."

Gu Shen whispered: "I have met Miss Meng. She is very nice. I wish you... good results."

"……Thanks."

Gu Nanfeng accepted the letter.

He said softly: "Some things, it's better not to think too much about it. Things like fate are so elusive to the extreme that even a 'powerful man' like Mr. Gu Changzhi cannot hold it in his hands... Over the years, Walking around Beizhou, going through life and death, I just remember one sentence."

"Which sentence?" Gu Shen was curious.

Gu Nanfeng said warmly: "But do good deeds and don't ask about your future."

…

…

The subsequent reconstruction of the iron wall of the [Snow Cage] has nothing to do with Gu Shen.

The princes and generals who followed Azhaer to witness the end of "Traveler" could not really serve as "coolies" in building the iron wall. After preliminary negotiations with the Gu family, Grand Duke Zhuxue stayed with his cronies. tundra.

Azhaer started the main boat and prepared to return to Central City.

In front of the giant boat, the body of the traveler was hanging.

Other micro airships are in a scattered shape, wrapping the big boat in the center.

"I can't believe...this guy died like that."

The legion commander piloted the airship and kept it level with the head of the giant ship. Whenever she moved her head and saw the big guy exuding bursts of deathly aura, she felt an illusion of "trance and disbelief" in her heart.

"Whether it's dead or alive, it doesn't actually matter, does it?"

Gu Shen stared at the corpse and said: "What Beizhou needs is actually that 'fire'... the god-level power source that can support the rise of Central City and surrounding cities."

The traveler is dead, but still radiating waves of pressure.

All the officials and generals subconsciously tried to stay as far away from this dead "god" as possible.

"Yes. All Beizhou needs is pure energy... But if it doesn't die, it will take a long time to peel off the 'fire'. Now the Underground Research Institute can directly possess a complete 'gospel box fragment'."

"Obviously, this is the best outcome."

"It's just that sometimes, I can't help but wonder... is this big guy who seems to have no brains a real 'traveler'?"

The legion commander sighed: "Because this victory really comes too easily."

"understand."

Gu Shen said: "I think so too..."

He couldn't help but think of the Tsuka ghost again.

Although the exploration in the off-road vehicle found nothing.

But Gu Shen still kept an eye on it. He left a blazing "spiritual seed" in the tomb ghost. This seed had no negative effects and only contained a ray of his own spirit.

As long as the spiritual sea of ​​Tsuka Oni changes.

You will notice it immediately.

And...he was not the only one who noticed the Tsukauki.

The two divine beings are truly "all-powerful figures" who have a clear understanding of everything.

The divine insight can cover an entire continent.

The release of the traveler this time was obviously a matter after the two gods reached a consensus together——

Therefore, even if Gu Nanfeng and Zhuxue didn't notice the weirdness of Zhonggui, I'm afraid they wouldn't have missed it.

However, God's throne's handling method does not necessarily involve "thundering".

Gu Shen conservatively estimated that before he cast a dream on the ghost, he might have been swept away by his spiritual thoughts countless times.

…

…

Back in Beizhou, Gu Shen went to see the Queen again.

The content of this interview was actually very simple.

He told what he saw and heard in the lacquer stone, and confirmed that the Queen had never heard him tell the relevant information about this "lacquer stone" in countless "reincarnations"...

This discovery is very interesting.

This shows that in the countless previous bracelet deductions... I didn't even get a chance to "peep".

Maybe it was because of the broken letter, or maybe it was because of other things, big and small, entangled and involved with each other, which had an impact on this fate.

Among thousands of collisions of causal threads, this "discovery" of great significance occurred.

"The traveler and Hades once left a curse on each other..."

When the Queen learned the news, she was also shocked.

She soon regained her composure.

This news may seem shocking, but in fact it doesn't have much effect... because these two people are definitely "dead people".

The underworld fire is in Gu Shen's hands.

The traveler's fire is in the Queen's furnace.

The real importance of this message is that it brings out the unknown second half of the transaction between Pluto and the Traveler.

What kind of deal... allowed these two people to have such a big game...

"Baizhu and I have examined the 'Tomb Ghost' a long time ago. His mental state is normal."

"If all this is a conspiracy, then until now, I have not seen the harm of this 'conspiracy' to the Five Continents... And now, that big guy dies in the tundra, which is equivalent to personally delivering the fire into my hands."

The Queen frowned and said: "Under the guidance of fate, I have seen some of the future clearly, but there are still layers of fog. I think the reason why the traveler rushed to the tundra this time is because of the 'Sky Sheath'. That stone The power emitted by the sword comes from the [Old World]...perhaps it was something important to travelers six hundred years ago?"

After the fog, there is an even bigger fog.

A person as powerful and confident as the Queen would certainly not be afraid of "disaster", "ominousness", or what Gu Shen called "curse".

The traveler's fire is right in front of you.

She must hold it... At this moment, the traveler's body has been dropped into the furnace reactor.

It won't be long before Central City rises!

…

…

Exit the Queen's loft.

Gu Shen had one last thing left in Beizhou.

This matter is called "Farewell".

During this trip to Beizhou, he met many friends...the members of the second team who lived and died together outside the Gubao Fortress, as well as the captains who experienced the task of restarting the Dolu River.

When the traveler dies and the fire is ignited, the princes and generals will not stay in the central city for long.

They set off one after another, leaving here and returning to the fortress and border of Beizhou, where they lit the beacon fire on the giant wall.

Gu Shen ignored the dignitaries from Central City who came to see them and didn't even bother to say a polite word.

He stayed in Central City to say goodbye to these friends one by one.

We meet in Beizhou, live and die together, and become comrades-in-arms.

These guys had already made an appointment to have a gathering at Gu Shen's Xuankongshan courtyard.

Perhaps it was because of the fusion of "underworld fire", or perhaps it was the bewitchment of the devil in the ruler... Gu Shen always felt that his blood was getting colder, and the separation of life and death seemed unable to touch his heartstrings.

This is not a good thing.

He hopes to keep these precious memories in his heart before he truly merges with the "Underworld Fire" in the future.

Whatever is gained, something is lost.

But he didn't want to lose his "emotion" and "temperature" in exchange for the fire that controlled "life and death".

Before Fisher left, he gave Gu Shen a token of being a VIP of Deep Scale City. The guy imitated the throne and made a beautifully crafted flat coat of arms, with a blood-red shark engraved in relief on it.

Zhong Principle gave him a dagger, which is quite sharp. This is a top-quality knife produced in the small town of Chasik. The blade is tempered with a thin layer of "purple silver". The user can customize it according to his or her needs. Perform mithril replacement.

Lu Zhe presented a coin from the Queen's reign, with "Giving to the Warriors" engraved by Her Majesty himself. This coin signified the peace of Beizhou and was quite commemorative.

Gu Shen returned the greetings one by one.

Men in Beizhou all like to drink, so he gave away his few lion sober wines... This is priceless wine, and anyone can get drunk.

Except for Gu Shen himself.

at last.

The small courtyard returned to desertedness. All the officials and generals left, but Gu Shen did not leave.

He is still waiting for someone... Whether it is the maze mission, the storm battle of the fort, or the bloody battle of the Dolu River, that guy is not absent. He is a sacrificer fighting on the front line.

He is also the most behind-the-scenes watchman of the Beizhou royal family.

Lin Meng's marriage broke up, and Lin Lin's royal status was naturally suppressed... There were only a handful of people in Beizhou who knew the true identity of the garrison of Gubao. He did not attend the party in the small courtyard, and many people felt that Regret.

After the restart mission ended, Lin Lin disappeared.

This guy is the Queen's younger brother. If he is willing to open his authority, then in the entire Beizhou, only the Queen and Zhuxue will know his position...

Until the end, Gu Shen did not wait for Lin Lin's arrival.

But he waited for a handwritten letter.

This time, he is no longer the postman, but the recipient.

Azur brought him a letter from Lin Lin... In this [new era] where the deep sea is fully connected, few people use letters to communicate anymore. This is something that has been eliminated by the times.

Gu Shen sat in front of the stone table and read the letter quietly.

"Gu Shen, seeing words is like meeting each other."

"When you read this letter, I have already taken the airship, left Central City, and headed for Fort... As I said when I came, I will not stay here. Although this journey has been bumpy, I finally fulfilled it. Made a promise.”

"Thank you for what you said to me on the giant wall. If you look at the world from another angle, you will find the 'truth' from another angle."

"Because of your words, I decided to take a walk."

"Then I discovered that you were right. In this world, there are not only Feixue and Jiannie in Gubao, but also other... more fucked-up things, such as royal marriages."

"There are thousands of prisons in this world, and for me, Gubao is definitely not one of them."

"So after I settled my family affairs in Central City, I couldn't wait to return without even saying goodbye. Please forgive me... because I treat everyone like this. When I wrote this letter, I already started to miss Gu Snow, artillery fire, and storms at Fort.”

"Although I will be based in Gubao from now on, I believe we will meet eventually."

"——In the near future."

Gu Shen read the letter in silence.

Chu Ling's soft voice sounded in my mind: "Part of the list of the Ancient Literature Society... has been deciphered."

A fragmented network of names appeared before his eyes.

Gu Shen smiled softly.

His eyes fell on the one pointing to Beizhou.

Turn over the letter.

On the back of the letter, there is a small foreshadowing.

Lin Lin wrote his signature and the purpose of the letter here.

"Zero paint three."

"——Giving the 'key'."
