Barrier of Light

Hongpu Building, second floor of banquet hall.

Liu Yi went out on the pretext of going to the toilet. When he came back, he found that He Chan was talking on the phone.

Only a few words came from the communicator.

The face of the Rhine Star envoy became extremely ugly.

"What did you say?!"

The hall was just filled with passionate symphony music.

He slapped the table hard, his anger was beyond words, and he didn't even hide it in front of Liu Yi.

After a few seconds, the communicator hung up.

"Master Xiao He, what happened?"

Liu Yi was a little surprised. According to his previous observations, this young leader of Hong Pu was very good at cultivating qi. What happened to make him so angry?

"Leader Liu."

He Chan suppressed his anger and said slowly: "About the previous transaction..."

"I have consulted Madam about the transaction. Madam expressed that she is very interested. Of course Huazhi will not miss such an opportunity." Liu Yi said with a smile: "Of course, it depends on your specific bid."

If you want to fight against a certain force, you must first understand this force.

Lu Nanzhi leads Huazhi and walks on the old path of Lao Lu raising the flag. If she really wants to suspend the Awakening Act, she must understand what this bill will bring to the human world.

These out-of-control people are priceless assets.

"No bids."

He Chan's voice was hoarse as he said, "Just now, all the freighters transporting these 'out-of-control people' were destroyed."

"All destroyed?!"

Liu Yi's beautiful eyes widened.

She then asked: "Who is responsible for guarding the freighter?"

"It's our other eight-star envoy from Rhine City, Carolyn Ye, known as the 'Rose of Wind'." He Chan shook his head and said: "The attacker was very strong and injured her... The key is At that moment, all the [Deep Sea] surveillance at the scene failed, and the attacker seemed to have special shielding methods."

"The surveillance failed and the attacker just escaped?"

Hearing this, Liu Yi felt that there was something evil about this matter.

Doesn't this matter have anything to do with Gu Shen and Chu Ling?

The destination for these two people should not be Rhine, they are just a transit stop.

"I don't know about other, more details."

He Chan stood up and said apologetically: "The Rhine Wharf was burned down. This bad incident has attracted the attention of the upper city. Soon more powerful extraordinary beings will be sent to investigate the case... The deal we agreed on is only It can be cancelled. Regarding the transaction, I hope you can keep it secret."

"I understand, don't worry."

Liu Yi also stood up.

The Hongpu Group is actually an apostle who believes in the "Fire of Wine". The industry created by it can be seen from its name. The connection between this group and the fact that this group is qualified to negotiate with Huazhi also shows its strong strength.

He Chan is very young and outstanding, but his strength is not enough. He is just an eight-star envoy, and he does not dare to plan the transaction of the "El Chapo".

There is someone else who is really in charge of the situation.

…

…

The fire was so bright that it stretched into a line on the sea. Gu Shen stood in the night at the dock, watching the grand scene of dozens of cargo ships burning each other. The first wave of explosions had ended, and now there was still a slight sound of explosions on the sea.

"Mr. Xiao Gu, has 'that person' been killed?"

Caroline Ye looked at this young man from Dongzhou. Perhaps it was because of the unique temperament of [Key], or perhaps because of the gentle light that fluttered between his eyebrows. She felt that Gu Shen exuded a certain Soft scent.

Make it difficult for her to be hostile.

"He is still alive. What he just killed was just a 'clone'."

Gu Shen's gaze crossed the sea of ​​fire, crossed the ocean, and looked further towards Nanzhou.

Xiao's true self is hiding in a corner of Nanzhou Continent.

Although this old ghost has not been killed yet, what is certain is that after repeated failed plans, Xiao must live a miserable life... and it will only become more miserable.

"What an amazing strength..."

The Rose of Wind is not stingy with its words of praise.

Gu Shen is only twenty years old.

At this age, even the four "divine sons" of the Tower of Source may not be able to fight against the weird monster just now.

This is no longer something that can be described as genius.

"Miss Rose, what impact will this explosion have on you?"

Gu Shen looked at the sea of ​​fire, not daring to take a second look at the sexy woman with big waves next to him. The face and figure of this Rose of the Wind were astonishingly beautiful, like a sculpture, or even more like a dream fabricated by a spiritual transcendent.

Caroline Ye said respectfully: "You are the future leader of the Ancient Literature Society, just call me Caroline."

"I'm just responsible for guarding the El Chapo. I don't know what's in the freighter." She said calmly: "The freighter exploded... I was also injured. They have no reason to doubt me. But Shangcheng will definitely send people to investigate and retrieve Deep sea video.”

"Don't worry about this." Gu Shen said.

Chu Ling has already modified the images backstage.

This part of the permissions is possessed by [source code].

"In this case...it won't have much impact."

Caroline Ye said softly: "There is indeed someone who attacked the freighter. The messenger from Shangcheng will be furious because of the 'deal breaker'. When the evidence is destroyed, there is only one thing they can do, and that is to find out who attacked the freighter." the identity of the person.”

Gu Shen nodded.

"It's just that you came to the Rhine this time to take me back to Linz to see Grand Master Ian... I'm afraid I can't go with you." Caroline Ye said regretfully: "The messenger from the city came to investigate, and I have to go I am here, going to Linz at this time will bring inconvenience to you. Please return to Linz and say hello to Archmaester Ian... and the deceased 'Senior Brother Huolin' for me."

"..."

Gu Shen sighed softly in his heart.

It can be seen that Caroline Ye really respects these two.

He suddenly asked: "What kind of person is Huo Lin in your heart?"

Caroline Ye was slightly startled and glanced at Gu Shen in confusion.

But she did not doubt anything. After thinking for a moment, she said frankly: "I have known Senior Brother Huolin for nearly ten years. At that time, he had already made great achievements in Holy Cross College, and many people were studying with him... In my In my heart, he is a 'perfect man' with high moral character and high academic ability."

"Perfect?" Gu Shen smiled, "This evaluation is very high..."

Caroline Ye smiled softly: "I understand what you mean. No one is a saint. How can there be a true 'perfect person' in this world? It was only a long time later that I found out that Brother Huo Lin was working in Mr. Turing's laboratory. His right-hand man."

Gu Shen listened quietly.

Although he is the key, the key is not omnipotent. He does not know what kind of bumps and ups and downs the Ancient Chinese Society of Central Continent has experienced.

Turing lived in Central Continent back then, and Deep Sea was also born in Central Continent.

It's just that the members in the "laboratory" and the stories that happened are top secret.

Turing sealed all this, and no one knew about it, not even the [Deep Sea].

"Hollin...was he a member of Turing Lab back then?"

Gu Shen silently remembered this information in his heart.

"This is what my senior brother said to me when he was on a business trip to the Rhine and was very drunk." Caroline Ye stood in the hot wind at the pier, her eyes a little dazed, "He said that he had made a very bad mistake. , in order to make up for this mistake, he paid a lot, but..."

only……

At this point, Rose's voice stopped abruptly.

She smiled bitterly and shook her head, "To this day, I don't know what exactly happened back then. I think he worked so hard in the academy just to make up for 'that mistake'. There is no perfect person in this world. To be close to perfection, you must have paid a price. Perhaps senior brother has lost something important forever?"

These are all her guesses.

But this information is also important.

"Thank you."

Gu Shen sincerely thanked him.

From then on, Gu Shen and Miss Rose stood quietly in front of the silent and raging sea of ​​fire. It was not until Chu Ling reminded that someone was about to arrive at the pier that he left, took a step back and entered the night.

…

…

Up town, the stars are shining brightly.

This is the most prosperous, gorgeous, wealthy and luxurious area among the five continents.

Everything is included here, everything is available here.

As long as you have enough wealth, you can buy high-quality Mithril, you can buy modified energy boats, and most importantly... all of this operates in an orderly manner under the supervision of "Order".

As long as there is a certification from the Source Tower.

Then if you buy it, it's yours. Even if someone covets it, they won't dare to do anything.

Some people say that this is the most "orderly" city in the five continents!

Supporting all of this is the towering "God Tower" in the center of the upper city, reaching up to the sky. The core area of ​​the upper city is the area covered by the Twin Gods. This is a great place of miracles, and every year there are Countless young talents went to the Tower of Source to challenge.

The Tower of Source welcomes all comers.

Everyone can enter the tower for free...but only for the first time.

Once you fail, it will be difficult to get another chance.

Extraordinary people with extraordinary talents, after entering the tower, can win the favor of the upper levels of the Tower of Source by passing through all the obstacles.

Some of them can become disciples of great priests, and some can even climb to the top of the tower to have a glimpse of the divine presence.

It's just that more extraordinary people can't do it.

After entering the tower, they often can only get through the first one or two floors and end sadly. They have no more choice but to become "clerical officials", take over the robes given by the Tower of Source, and become the leader of the Horn Gada of the Central Continent. The defenders on one side accumulate merits in exchange for a second chance to enter the tower.

Today, under the Tower of Source, stood a woman holding a wooden sword.

The long night is filled with starlight.

She held the knife and stood at the bottom of the giant tower.

If Sky, who is sitting on the throne, really casts his gaze towards the world, he will probably see this figure as small as an ant...

But Lu Nanjin knew.

Even if he sees it, even if the god has a good memory, the god probably doesn't know who he is and why he keeps standing here.

When you are above the whole world.

Then you will really despise the people of the world.

Not out of arrogance.

It's because people in this world are really small.

She told everyone that she came from the tower because she wanted to take a look... She didn't lie.

Now she sees it.

This tower is really high.

No matter how many years of practicing swordsmanship, I can't chop him down.

But after finally reaching the tower, she was unwilling to just take a look.

…

…

The ants on the ground are not easily seen by the giant.

But there are not only two kinds of creatures in the world: giants and ants.

What should be seen will always be seen.

A certain layer of misty clouds.

A young man wearing a red star robe stood with his hands behind his back, standing in front of the cloud window. Under the blessing light of the two gods, the Tower of Source was shrouded in countless spiritual illusions. Standing outside and looking in, his sight was blocked.

But looking out from inside, you can see everything at a glance.

From the corridor behind, there was the sound of rapid footsteps.

A star messenger lightly knocked on the door and sent a message: "Lord Suzaku, over to the Rhine... I'm afraid you need to go there in person."

Suzaku said softly: "There's no rush."

He just looked at the woman on the ground.

And a few seconds later.

The woman with the wooden sword on the ground slowly raised her head, her eyes passing through the Tower of Source layer by layer, and finally stopped at a certain layer in the "middle". It was a coincidence, but also a coincidence -

This is the level where Suzaku is located.

Suzaku knew that even if he was banned, he couldn't see through the illusion imposed by the two gods.

The "eye contact" between the two eyes was most likely caused by the woman raising her head and trying to see as far as she could, which led to such a coincidence.

But some things happen because of a little bit of unforeseen chance.

…

…

"You've been standing down there for a long time, why don't you come in and give it a try?"

Lu Nanjin stood for a moment.

A young man slowly walked out of the Tower of Source.

The man pointed to the tall tower behind him and said politely and courteously: "Girl, you have good strength. You may be qualified to worship under the two gods and feel the blessings."

Although some people are polite...but the coldness emanating from their bones can be felt even from a hundred meters away.

This person is not really polite to me.

"Sorry, I am not here because I am interested in the blessings of the two gods..."

Lu Nanjin responded indifferently with the same seemingly polite tone.

She squinted her eyes, looked at the young man's robe, and counted the stars engraved on it.

There are up to ten star engravings on the Tower of Source.

This man.

Ten.

Outside the Tower of Source, there are many extraordinary people coming and going.

Many extraordinary people cast interested glances at the two of them. Lu Nanjin could feel that there was a faint "awe" in the eyes of these people looking at the young man.

Is this a young big shot from the Tower of Source?

"Understood."

Suzaku nodded, "You want to fight."

"Standing in front of the tower, I have always felt confused. I always felt that something was missing." Lu Nanjin nodded and said: "Now I understand, you are right. I should be here to fight, and I want to find someone who is good enough." A fight between powerful people.”

Suzaku also nodded: "Although I've been told not to cause trouble and kill people...but since you took the initiative to provoke me, you can't blame me."

"Crash!"

The next moment, Suzaku waved his sleeves, and the scarlet fire wave instantly enveloped a hundred meters radius... He expanded his own domain, blocking the sight of all those outside.

The fire wave rolled and the blazing waves exploded.

The place where the two of them were standing instantly turned into a lava hell.

"Lu Nanjin."

Suzaku read out the name of the person in front of him and asked calmly: "Isn't it good for you to stay in Dadu? Why do you have to use the Tower of Source? Don't you think... do you think you can do something here?"

"You know my name." Lu Nanjin smiled softly.

Her palm was silently pressed on the handle of the wooden knife.

"You are not a nobody."

Suzaku smiled and paused for the next sentence: "What's more... the apostle Qin Ye who died in Dadu was my senior brother."

Qin Ye said two words, and the two of them took action at the same time with great understanding.

Suzaku used his five fingers to make a fan, and if he fanned at random, he would unleash a sea of ​​​​fire.

Lu Nanjin, on the other hand, leaned over and drew out his sword. With a flash of light that had been struck tens of millions of times, the sword finally came out of its sheath. For a moment, it was like a rainbow piercing the sky, breaking through the raging sea of ​​fire!

Within the domain, the fire wave shattered and sword light flew everywhere.

Outside the domain, under the Tower of Source, peace has returned, with people coming and going, and clouds and mist lingering.

It was as if nothing had happened.
