Bright!

Xu Le, wearing a parliamentary windbreaker and a kind smile on his face, slowly walked out of the space door.

But Zhou Bi's first reaction when he saw Xu Le was... It's over, I can't do it anymore, that kick was wasted, wu wu wu...

Although the time was short, Xu Le looked more majestic than when they last met.

Majesty comes from strength, Xu Le gradually adapted to Zion's power, and also gradually adapted to his own power.

Level 4 is already a very high level.

Except for monster gathering places like the Red Moon Temple, level 4 warlocks in several other cities can basically be called high-level extraordinary beings.

Coupled with the power of darkness brought by blending into the darkness, Xu Le had a somewhat more mysterious aura out of thin air compared to the previous month.

This point is particularly obvious to Jin Mingzhu.

"Master Xu Le's strength has increased again."

“Member Kim Myung-joo’s perception is also very powerful.”

"There is no point in exchanging commercial blows. Today's lighthouses are like this. Should we exchange something substantive?"

Zhou Bi interrupted the conversation between Xu Le and Jin Mingzhu.

Xu Le glanced at his brother. He always felt that there seemed to be a little more resentment in Zhou Bi today?

what happened? Don’t welcome yourself?

"Brother, you are angry. Didn't you get rid of the anger last night?"

The way Xu Le and Zhou Bi talked was quite straightforward. When they played together before, they often made dirty jokes.

But at this time, Zhou Bi’s face turned green:

"I think we should talk about something serious, about the construction of the lighthouse, instead of these meaningless and unnutritious topics."

Xu Le blinked, then nodded thoughtfully.

"I understand, let's talk about business."

It seems that he has been in this situation before.

Even when chatting with Wang Shu and Gu Beichen and talking about discordant topics, Ai Li would behave like this when he suddenly walked past them.

But now think about it, Alley's hearing is so strong, has the little secret between them been discovered long ago?

Getting back to business, Jin Mingzhu was the first to ask:

"Councilor Xu Le, the plants outside are still weird..."

"It seems that you can't help but check it out out of curiosity. It's basically correct. However, I may need to discuss the details with you."

Xu Le rubbed Ding Ke in his arms, and his calm expression made Jin Mingzhu feel a little uncomfortable.

In terms of force, she understands it more deeply than Zhou Bi.

The soul tree is placed in the center of the lighthouse, giving itself strength, light, and other things.

These energies made her stronger without even realizing it.

But she still doesn't quite understand what the soul tree hides. Perhaps only a warlock who studies heaven and earth can understand its meaning.

But although she didn't understand warlock stuff, she had combat experience.

The Soul Tree is in the center, while the Rotted Tree rhizomes are on the periphery of the lighthouse.

If this tree is really controlled by Xu Le, it means that the safety of the entire lighthouse is actually in Xu Le's hands, which is a very dangerous thing.

Of course, the previous lighthouses were also in the hands of the Golden Tree and the Red Moon Temple.

But there is obviously a difference between the Red Moon Temple and Xu Le personally.

"What are the details that Councilor Hui Le said?"

"Member Jin Mingzhu, I feel vigilance and hostility from your words. In fact, we don't have to be like this. Our cooperation has just begun. If you always hold such hostility towards me, then our cooperation will not be able to proceed. Go down."

"But... the current situation, the entire lighthouse has fallen into your hands."

"No, no, no, there are only three of us in this matter..."

Xu Le said this, then glanced at Ding Ke in his arms, and then changed his words:

“Only the four of us know about this matter. In the eyes of the people of the lighthouse, you are the heroes who saved the lighthouse.

You and Brother Zhoubi are both the saviors of the lighthouse. This is what the people think and it is an unchangeable fact, isn't it? "

Jin Mingzhu wanted to say something more, but Zhou Bi stopped her directly at this time, then pulled her aside and whispered:

"I know what you are worried about, but what you are worried about has not happened. Without Xu Le's help this time, our lighthouse may have been destroyed in this black tide.

Lao Jin, calm down. "

Originally Jin Mingzhu was quite calm, but when she heard Zhou Bi's words "Lao Jin", she punched him with her backhand.

boom!

Zhou Bi came to Xu Le with panda eyes.

"Brother, thank you for this matter."

“Cooperating with each other, helping each other, and benefiting from each other are all things that collaborators should do.

You need a safe, wealthy, and prosperous city, and I need a last stronghold to protect myself, so... our cooperation will continue.

Your worries are completely unreasonable, because it is impossible for me to destroy a city.

I'm not a warmonger, I just want to live well. "

Zhou Bi looked at Xu Le with complicated eyes.

He had already looked up to Xu Le very highly before, and always felt that this boy was extremely talented and would become something great in the future.

But looking back, he still underestimated the other party.

And Zhou Bi still doesn't understand, with Xu Le's current identity, status, and strength, what are he still worried about?

Red Moon Temple?

"Brother Xu Le, are you worried about the Red Moon Temple?" Since we want to cooperate, the issues regarding the Red Moon Temple must be discussed openly.

The Golden Light Tree thing is over, but where it ends is just the lighthouse.

The Red Moon Temple will definitely send people over to investigate the fact that the golden tree has turned into a soul tree.

Zhou Bi knew it, and so did Xu Le.

As for Xu Le's purpose of coming here today, in addition to continuing to cooperate with the lighthouse, the most important thing is to discuss how to deal with the next actions of the Red Moon Temple.

"Yes, the Red Moon Temple is like a behemoth. It can crush people and make them unable to breathe. In order to deal with possible pressures and dangers, I must be prepared."

"What do you need us to do?"

Zhou Bi's voice was a little deep. Xu Le looked at him and then at Jin Mingzhu beside him.

The meaning is obvious, that is to ask Zhou Bi if he can be the owner of Jin Mingzhu.

After all, Jin Mingzhu controls the force, and Zhou Bi is just an ordinary person compared to Jin Mingzhu.

But what surprised Xu Le was that Jin Mingzhu reacted immediately and said bluntly:

"I unconditionally agree with what Zhou Bi said, the commitments and decisions he made."

Xu Le narrowed his eyes slightly, their combination was really strange.

However, this also confirms Zhou Bi's personal ability.

Just like Li Wen, some people's abilities are not reflected in the extraordinary side.

"I didn't expect Congresswoman Kim Ming-joo to be so supportive of me, brother... okay."

Xu Le gave a thumbs up, which Zhou Bi also appreciated.

"That is required."

His waist was already bruised by Jin Mingzhu, but he didn't show it at all. He endured it, held it back, and couldn't embarrass himself in front of outsiders.

"Before we talk about the red moon, can you tell us what exactly this tree is now?"

"This tree? It is now the protective umbrella of your lighthouse. It is alive, just like the previous golden tree.

It's just that the golden tree was doing the wrong thing before, and I guided it to the right path. "

What Xu Le said sounded a bit brazen to Zhou Bi.

Previous golden tree bug?

How dare you say it? The golden tree in the past was at least full of light and aura of gold.

What now?

Black, blue, rotten?

No matter how you look at it, you look so ghostly, and you don’t even know if there is something dirty, so how can you say it out loud?

Jin Mingzhu could see Zhou Bi's dissatisfaction at a glance. She pulled Zhou Bi and warned:

"What he said is true."

"Huh? When did you betray Beacon?" Zhou Bi glared.

"Don't worry about it..." Jin Mingzhu wanted to run away, but she held it back in the end.

"I used to have a deep connection with the Golden Light Tree. The former Golden Light Tree absorbed the life of a large number of living things, including the life force of humans.

Plunder the anima, gather it, and nourish some strange creatures. These creatures are the believers and ascetics.

Their bodies were filled with the aura of corruption, and this aura actually infected me.

However, after Xu Le arrived and the golden tree burned, the corrupt atmosphere gradually dissipated.

Although the tree today looks ghostly, it is indeed much cleaner than before. "

Only after Jin Mingzhu's explanation did Zhou Bi understand.

He looked at Xu Le thoughtfully, and Xu Le nodded slightly.

“As Representative Kim Ming-joo said, the previous golden tree was full of corruption. I changed it, but it didn’t completely obey me. It is now free.

As a protective umbrella, it is completely sufficient for your lighthouse, so... for future lighthouse safety issues, you basically do not need to make too many additional preparations.

It will all be done for you. "

"Does this require the lighthouse to give up its original defense?"

"No, your normal defense facilities and armed forces can continue to be maintained. As before, you must be fully prepared for the Kuroshio.

But I still have to tell you in advance that the future Kuroshio will probably be the same as last night, without any pressure. "

"Are you asking us to show off?"

"Yes, brother is still so smart and understood what I meant right away." Xu Le laughed.

"Then when do you think the Red Moon Temple will come? If their people come, what questions will they ask us and what will they do? Have you considered these?"

"I have considered it, but I also feel that I may not think it through well, so I came here in advance to talk to you."

Xu Le told the truth, it is indeed useful to prepare such things in advance, but one person cannot think so thoroughly.

There can't be too many people who know about this matter.

Xu Le had no intention of telling Li Wen the information. The less people knew about the soul tree, the better.

There was nothing we could do to let Jin Mingzhu and Zhou Bi know.

After all, my own Zion is not a beacon.

But now the lighthouse is also a stronghold that he cannot give up, which is very important.

"In your consideration, when will the Red Moon Temple come? What will they say after they come?"

"They will definitely ask you about the Golden Light Tree. You just need to tell them everything you know. You don't even need to hide my affairs."

"What's the relationship between this tree and you?"

"Do you think I can control this tree by myself? Stop joking." Xu Le waved his hand.

"Then how do you control it to defend the lighthouse?"

"Control? Brother Zhou Bi, the soul tree is the result of the purification of the golden tree. It has its own will and cannot be controlled by personal power at all.

And although I am a level 4 warlock and I am very confident, there is no comparison between a level 4 warlock and this tree.

Did you know that there are Level 7 beings up here? I wouldn’t tell ordinary people about this. "

Xu Le said mysteriously.

Zhou Bi looked at Xu Le with some suspicion. He felt that Xu Le was definitely related to this tree, and it was a very important relationship. It was even possible that Xu Le was controlling the tree.

There is no reason for this speculation, it is just his personal feeling.

It's a pity that he is just an ordinary person and cannot understand the value of intuition.

But what Xu Le said made sense, and there was no need to deceive him.

The people from the Red Moon Temple will know clearly that there are level 7 creatures on the soul tree when they come. There is absolutely no point in Xu Le lying.

Even if he is not a transcendent, he still knows the huge gap between level 4 and level 7.

It is indeed nonsense for a level 4 character to control something like the soul tree.

"Aren't you afraid that people from the Red Moon Temple will destroy the soul tree?"

"Why did they destroy the soul tree? What's the reason?"

"Well, after all, they used to have golden light trees..."

"I have said before that the Golden Light Tree is already a failed item and has no meaning of existence. The Soul Tree is a purified thing and has more value to be preserved."

"So, we can just tell the truth?" Zhou Bi and Jin Mingzhu looked at each other.

"No, in addition to these, you also need to reveal a piece of information to the Red Moon Temple."

"what's the message?"

"Let's just say...Xu Le already knows the secret of the Soul Tree. Xu Le said that this tree has unimaginable power and has the ability to swallow weird things."

Zhou Bi and Jin Mingzhu's expressions became more and more strange.

Shouldn't these things be secrets, the kind that need to be hidden?

Tell Red Moon Temple all these things?

"Wait, wait, Xu Le, were you serious about what you just said?"

"Of course, the Red Moon Temple is in a hurry. They will be here soon. Think about it quickly and see if there are any omissions."

…

After the black tide passed, the Red Moon Temple was also cleaning up strange corpses on the outskirts of the city.

Red Moon Melis was sitting on her knees in the auxiliary hall of the temple, looking sad and crying.

"Dorn, Dormin and Merion seem to have died too, and I lost a daughter and a son. Now I only have 196 children left.

Tell me, what should I do? "

"I will share the pain for my mother." A woman wearing a mask knelt down in front of Merion.

"Let's go to the lighthouse first."

"yes."
