Infinity Throne

According to legend.

Jingnancheng was just a small village when King Zhennan came.

After Prince Nan was "assigned", he worked hard and worked hard for a period of time to build a village into a fortress-like city.

This can be seen from the architectural style of the city.

The streets in the city are straight and horizontal, and are well-organized. They were obviously built after planning.

And in the middle of all the streets, there is a very famous scenic spot.

It's called the "Statue of the Empress."

It is said that King Zhennan admired the Qijue Empress who left various legends five thousand years ago, so he ordered people to move a huge jade blank and polish it with precision.

Next to the statue of the empress, there is a stone tablet with no words.

The style of the stone monument is incompatible with the brand-new streets, and the history is left on it.

The local residents of Jingnancheng have long been accustomed to the existence of the statue of the Empress, and they passed by it one after another without stopping.

today.

A young man with a pale face, waving a fan, came here.

The young man stopped and looked up at the specious face of the empress.

"It really doesn't look like it."

Yi Lin shook her "Mu Xiu Yu Lin" fan and looked at the appearance of Xiao Xi that others imagined, and couldn't help but laugh.

He has seen Xiao Xi's true appearance with his own eyes. Others don't know whether it looks like him or not. Doesn't he have the right to speak?

The Statue of the Empress is not an important official site, and it is not even guarded. It is equivalent to a local landscape.

Yi Lin drove [Like a Shadow], and almost no one paid attention to him. He put his hand on the wordless stone tablet and read the message on it.

The first time is new, the second time is familiar. This is already the third time for Yi Lin. She has no worries in her heart and is waiting patiently.

Soon, the message came out.

…

【Decoding in progress...】

[Working hard to decode...]

[We are working very hard to decode...]

【drop. 】

[Decoding successful. 】

【You finally found this place. 】

[This is message number two. 】

The opening line above is exactly the same.

Yi Lin felt that Xiao Xi was wasting the precious memory of the stone tablet.

It turns out this is number two!

Yi Lin suddenly realized.

He recalled the scene when he first met Xia Xiaoman.

That is to say,

Assuming that he did not refuse Xia Xiaoman's request, after leaving Qingniu Mountain, his next step should be to follow the principle of proximity and come to Jingnan City along the way, instead of going straight to Tianjianmen to become a monk.

Xiaoxi... made a mistake in judgment?

Or does it mean that all the choices he makes in this world will not have any impact on the outcome?

Yi Lin frowned, feeling the familiar touch in her palm. She remained silent and patiently read the message.

…

[Five thousand years is still too short, too short, too short for the birth, development and strength of a civilization. 】

[The short arrival is not enough to make a civilization strong, and it will be annihilated in the source river. 】

【So,】

【I made a decision. 】

[Before 'you', I selected a group of people, gave them the qualifications of Xi Paradise, and put them into the endless 'game'. 】

[But in the end, they all died. 】

[They are the first generation after the ‘Great Annihilation of the Age of Gods’. 】

【I failed. 】

[My ship, the remaining ‘source’, cannot bear repeated failures. 】

[So, I came here secretly. 】

[I... took away the 'source' here. 】

…

I see.

"It turns out that we are not the first apostles."

"The first batch, all dead."

"We may be the second batch, the third batch, or even..."

"Xi tried it again, and again, and again."

Yi Lin closed her eyes and thought about Xiao Xi's complicated mood when she recorded this message.

Desperate?

…

"The Empress of Qijue interrupted reincarnation with her own hands."

…

"But there is no reincarnation in this world...except for you."

…

Yi Lin remembered the ancient legend told by Zen Master Kuye of Heian Temple.

Then I remembered the words Xiao Xi left behind during the reincarnation.

"We are all moving forward with a heavy burden."

Yi Lin opened her eyes.

In his eyes, he was calm.

He walked on the street and watched people coming and going.

As he walked, he noticed something was wrong.

Many people were busy on the streets.

The shops along the road are all busy being repaired and renovated.

There are even guards who act as street sweepers and clean the streets.

The entire city gave Yi Lin the feeling that she was about to welcome a distinguished guest.

Yi Lin was like an invisible shadow, walking through the crowd.

He inquired for a while, but unfortunately, there was no unique place like Wanxiang Tower in this city.

"It's a pity."

Yi Lin secretly regretted it.

If there is Wanxianglou, based on his brand, let alone free prostitution, he should be able to get a lot of important information with a little money.

Wanxianglou is an organization under the Qingluanshu Sect used to collect intelligence.

It is not incomprehensible that King Zhennan would have evil intentions and not let Wanxianglou's claws extend into his territory.

Think of this.

Yi Lin finally found the waist badge of Discipline Mountain from the large chain of waist badges.

He was in the corner, quietly touching the waist badge of Commandment Mountain, silently reciting Jian Nanchun's name in his heart.

"Call Brother Jian, call Brother Jian, please answer if you receive it, please answer if you receive it, OVER."

After calling, she waited for a while, but there was no reply. Yi Lin could only wait patiently.

While waiting, he continued to check the spots.

About half an hour.

Yi Lin spent some effort to get the layout of Jingnancheng almost complete, and regenerated a three-dimensional structural diagram in his mind.

Jingnan City is divided into four gates: east, west, south and north.

The Zhennan Palace is located in a luxurious garden in the north-center, covering an area of ​​99 acres, and is surrounded by heavy military guards.

In Jingnan City, eight "military camps within the city" were actually installed.

The number of troops in the military camps in the city is unknown, but the distribution of the military camps is located in the eight geographical directions of "due east, due west, due south, due north, southwest, northwest, southeast, and northeast".

On the three-dimensional map in her mind, Yi Lin silently clicked on a red dot at each location of the military camp.

"Huh?"

Yi Lin closed his eyes and thought about the three-dimensional map of Jingnancheng and the small dots on the map. As he looked at it, he frowned, then relaxed, and couldn't help but smile: "This city is a bit... Meaning."

Just when Yi Lin was delighted with her major discovery and felt happy with the new knowledge she had unintentionally gained, the token in her arms trembled, and the reply from Brother Jian Nanchun, the swordsman, came belatedly.

"Junior Brother Lin, Junior Brother Lin, Junior Brother Lin, Senior Brother Jian is calling Junior Brother Lin. Please answer when you receive it. Concave."

Jian Nanchun didn't understand foreign languages, but he vaguely felt that Junior Brother Lin Yi's calling method was simple and classy, ​​which was particularly suitable for his identity, so Senior Brother Jian couldn't help but imitate Yi Lin's tone, but the imitation was a bit nondescript, and he couldn't help it. Know.

"...Have you seen King Zhennan over there?"

The two brothers finally talked to each other.

"Junior brother Lin, as you expected, King Zhennan did not see us immediately. Instead, he placed us in a courtyard in the corner of the east wing of King Zhennan's palace."

"Are there any soldiers guarding the area?"

"have."

"Then you are surrounded?"

"Junior brother Lin has a keen eye." Jian Nanchun first smiled disdainfully, and then snorted coldly: "But this siege, to me, is in vain... It's okay not to mention this predicament!"

"That's wrong." Yi Lin kindly reminded: "If junior brother is not mistaken, there is another mystery in Jingnancheng. I suggest senior brother not to fly around."

"...?"
