The edge of pure land

The whistle sounded at the Linhai Nanjiao Railway Station, and the cold and cold platform was illuminated by lights. An old-fashioned high-speed train started moving with a slight trembling sound, like an old patient suddenly throwing away his crutches and starting. Running wildly, tremblingly towards the distance.

"This is the Human Watch Army branch in Linhai City, support unit No. 57483. We are about to go from Nanjiao Railway Station to the place of death of Sequence 018 in Fengcheng City. The whole journey is about four hours' drive. The seventh holy mountain survey operation has officially begun. "

Secretary Xia Yan's old secretary's voice sounded: "I wish you all good luck."

He looked at the gradually dimming night and took a deep breath.

The task of the logistics force this time is not only to transport supplies, but also to protect the descendants of the Brotherhood. They may be needed to help when they enter the Holy Mountain.

Of course, more importantly, they are responsible for escorting the Vice-Pope.

Lu Fuji originally thought that the famous deputy pope of the Akasha Holy Cult would be the most powerful evolver in the world. After all, when they first met on the bus, he felt like he was enveloped by a powerful pressure. It was as if everything had been seen from the inside out.

It was not until he was summoned alone in the last carriage of the high-speed train that he stared at the old man across the table and confirmed that he could not feel any life fluctuations.

"I know what you are thinking. Many people will be curious about this question."

The vice-pope said calmly: "A hundred years ago, I was seriously injured during a fight with a hundred-armed giant in the Peloponnese Peninsula. It was much more serious than the injury of the dragon bird. If I take medicine, I can still recover eight times." level, but not as powerful as you think. You may think that Longque is weak, but also think that we old bones are too strong."

He pointed to the tea on the table.

That means if you want to drink it, pour it yourself.

Lu Fuji was thoughtful and asked: "Did Longque use medicine too frequently, which led to the end of his life? What kind of medicine was it?"

The vice-pope didn't mind explaining his doubts: "A medicine made from the roots of the sacred tree is called the blood of the sage in ancient legends. In fact, its real function is not to make evolution It can restore the life structure of the person, but can bring the dead back to life. You heard me right, the blood of the sage can bring the endangered high-level evolver back to life and save a life. The first generation, the second generation, Longque, including me, there is no sage Blood, we would have died long ago.”

"Falling down is just the price of resurrection. It also gives the soldiers on the front line a chance. After you have burned everything you have, you can go back to being an ordinary person and return to a normal life. But there are also people, Will continue to burn its own remains and continue to fight.”

He paused: "Longque is exactly such a person... and in the system of the Akashic Holy Cult, the only real combatants are the Heretic Tribunal, which is run by the Grand Priest of each generation. I, the Vice-Pope, It exists to regulate this department.”

Lu Fuji understood: "You are here to monitor him."

The vice-pope said: "This is my duty, but in my heart I still hope that he can live a happier life in the last period of time. After all, he was promoted by me."

Lu Fuji asked calmly: "Then what do you mean by meeting me?"

The vicar got straight to the point: "Do you want to come to the Inquisition?"

Lu Fuji was stunned.

The vice-pope said calmly: "There is nothing surprising. A talent like yours should have been the target of competition. But because your promotion speed was so fast, many people did not react. For example, Long Que back then He Long Ling is the object of competition among many people."

"I can tell you responsibly that many people will die in this operation on the Holy Mountain. Even I can't guarantee that they will survive. If you are willing, I can use my private rights to carry out the mission. I'll transfer you away in the middle of the mission."

He continued: "Someone will send you to the Lord City and give you the most abundant resources to train you. Judging from your current promotion speed, if you don't die before the age of twenty-four, you will definitely be promoted to the ninth crown realm. At that time, you will be the next generation’s chief priest.”

Lu Fuji was silent for a moment: "It's... very tempting."

"Linhai used to be a super metropolis, but since the change in the Holy Mountain, too many people have died one after another for the ultimate secret, and the city has gradually declined. So that later, it even became It became a place of exile.”

The deputy pope said calmly: "The Russell family was exiled here. Including the high priest Lianhua, he came to guard this most dangerous land because he was feared by others. Longque's return to Linhai seems to be his return to his roots. But this is also the will of the Federation and the Church.”

Lu Fuji's hand on the table flicked like an electric shock.

"You are young, there is no need to stay here and waste your life."

The vice-pope looked at him deeply and said calmly: "Don't make the same mistake as Longque. Only obedient children can eat sweets. This is also... what he meant."

Lu Fuji was slightly startled.

No wonder the vicar came to tell him this.

Was it originally Longque’s arrangement?

He was silent for a few seconds, thinking about the period after he emerged from his cocoon.

Here are his good friends and a sister he recognizes.

He has a big sister who takes good care of him, and a girl he likes.

A close friend who has an irreversible relationship.

Of course, there are also those who meet him by chance.

Like the man who called his comrades underwater.

"Sorry, I don't want to leave."

Lu Fuji said seriously: "I want to fight with them."

After the deputy pope was rejected, he didn't have too many emotional fluctuations. He just said lightly: "Don't reject it so early. You still have some time to think about it. If you change your mind, you can come to me at any time. Now, I want you Answer me a question."

He said word by word: "How did Qingye and Lu Ming die?"

Lu Fuji knew he would ask this question and shrugged: "Qingye is a traitor. He accepted a gift from a certain force. The people behind him replaced the real blood with the secret blood and wanted to completely erase it. The traces in the underground ruins completely concealed Metanzo's existence. In order to stop him, Lu Ming was killed underwater by him, and he entrusted the task to me before he died."

"This matter seems to fall under the jurisdiction of the Inquisition, right?"

He knocked on the table: "It's time for you senior executives to reflect on yourselves."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Although I shouldn't ask you this kind of question, I still have to ask it."

The deputy pope stared at his back: "Do you know where the hidden blood is going?"

Lu Buer paused and shrugged.

The Archdeacon was silent for a moment and sighed.

"Get out."

Lu Fuji said nothing, opened the door and left.

Unexpectedly, the deputy pope's voice sounded again.

"Is it true that the Archbishop can't attract you?"

He said seriously: "I can only give you this."

Lu Fuji turned around and thought about it, then spread his hands helplessly and said, "Sorry, I still think... the title of Holy Monarch is more popular."

After saying that, he closed the door and backed out.

In the silent carriage, the Vice-Pope looked out the window at the passing towns and fields, and sighed: "He is very ambitious, and he is among the best, but it is a pity that he did not like this old man like me."

·

·

When Lu Fuji left the last carriage, he saw the red archbishop guarding the door. The moment he passed by, he felt the extreme discomfort again.

Archbishop Chamberlain still had a smile on his lips, and said with a smile: "The Vice-Pope has always loved talents, and has wanted to cultivate a successor for his own mantle all his life. Unfortunately, it is not satisfactory every time. I still hope that you can carefully consider this. There aren’t many opportunities.”

Lu Fuji frowned, said nothing, and walked through the carriage.

Archbishop Chamberlain actually didn't pay attention to his rudeness. He just sat at the window seat drinking coffee and reviewing the documents in his hand.

Lu Fuji glanced at him out of the corner of his eye before leaving.

"It's really strange. If this guy is really the mastermind, why did he dare to board this train? Logically speaking, the mastermind should try his best to prevent the secrets of the Holy Mountain from being made public. Did I misjudge, or did I Does he really have other tricks?"

He came to the middle car, carrying his tennis bag. Outside the window was the endless green wilderness, the howling wind blowing the wild grass like the sea, and the tide.

Occasionally, you can see low houses in the wilderness. Even in December, you can see flowers all over the mountains and fields. Further away, there is a brightly lit city, like a sea of ​​stars.

Electric wires hang horizontally in mid-air, and birds occasionally stop by.

It's like a painting.

He came to the middle of the carriage, where the windows were open.

The wind seemed to smell of freedom.

"Brother Lu, actually when I first emerged from my cocoon, I was full of fear of the world because my parents were no longer around. But it wasn't until now that I realized how vast the world is, and I also have the opportunity to see it. The qualifications to see those scenery.”

Jose came to him and handed him a piece of chocolate: "We are going to the place of death soon... Damn Brother Lu, look at it, a unicorn!"

Lu Fuji looked intently, and saw a snow-white unicorn really appeared in the dark forest. It looked exactly like the legendary one, and it seemed to be shining with bright light.

It looks like a white horse, but it has crystal horns on its head.

The pupils are so smart.

Many female soldiers in charge of medical treatment also leaned on the car windows and exclaimed, because what appeared in the forest turned out to be a group of unicorns. It was also the first time for these girls to enter the land of the afterlife, and they often had no idea about the concept of White Walkers. It is ugly and cruel. I have never seen such a magnificent creature before.

"So beautiful."

"What are their names?"

"A White Walker in the evolutionary chain?"

Lu Buer stopped talking. He knew nothing about this.

Jose took advantage of his strengths and said to this group of gentle and lovely female soldiers: "Ahem, this kind of strange ghost is called a wildebeest. It is a rare and non-aggressive species. They often live in lush jungles. Deep down, they make a living by eating some mutated plants.”

"Really? Teacher He knows a lot."

A pretty and cute female soldier blinked her eyes and made no secret of her admiration for intellectuals: "Does the wildebeest have any other characteristics? I really want to raise one."

Jose thought for a moment: "Their meat...is delicious!"

After saying this, the female soldiers walked away one after another.

"Thirty years east of Hedong and thirty years west of Hexi."

Lu Buer said with emotion: "You are still standing where you are, He Sai."

He Sai said blankly: "Am I wrong?"

At this time, fog suddenly appeared in the wilderness.

In the fog ahead, the outline of the city is vaguely visible.

Fengcheng!

Lu Buer's heart moved slightly.

A month later, he returned to his hometown again.

This city has been reduced to a place of death!

Old secretary Xia Yan came over and said in a deep voice: "Xiaolu, be prepared for battle. After entering the land of the past, be careful once you see the fog. Those extremely aggressive White Walkers will hide in the fog and attack. We, maybe there will be heretics from the Tower of Babel ambushing us. You are a very precious fighting force, you must be extremely vigilant."

Lu Fuji nodded slightly. In fact, when he first stepped on the train, the old secretary explained some rules for fighting in the land of the past, which benefited him a lot.

The first point.

In the land of the afterlife, the rate of recovery of life energy for the evolved person will be slower.

Second point.

In the battle between high-level evolvers, the reserve of life energy is the key.

Based on these two points, the advantage of numbers is very important.

The so-called war between evolvers is to use the life energy of one's own low-level evolvers to consume the life energy of the enemy's high-level evolvers as much as possible, and at the same time, avoid allowing the enemy's low-level evolvers to consume one's own high-level evolvers. Evolutionary.

This is the underlying logic.

Therefore, after entering the land of the dead, high-level evolvers will follow a principle, that is, they will never take action unless they encounter enemies of the same level or higher.

It is also the reason why low-level evolvers also participate in the battle.

Otherwise, you only need to send your strongest combat power to push across.

"You go and guard the front."

Xia Yan said: "Leave it to Lyman later."

Lu Fuji was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Xia Yan shook his head and said, "Miss Chen Jing requested it. This girl doesn't trust others very much, but you have worked with her for a while, and she is willing to trust you."

Lu Fuji nodded slightly: "I understand."

Before leaving, Jose winked at him.

The corners of Lu Fuji's eyes twitched slightly, he picked up the heavy weapon box and came to the car at the front, where all the descendants of the brotherhood were sitting.

Arthur was wearing headphones and closing his eyes to relax.

Aaron and Raul were a little uneasy, looking left and right.

Only Chen Jing was sitting alone in the corner, seemingly lazily leaning against the car window, silently swaying a glass of crimson red wine, and not knowing what he was thinking in his deep and quiet eyes.

"Major Deer."

A cold smile appeared on the girl's lips.

Lu Fuji glanced at the woman.

I have to say that this woman feels completely different from my wife.

She is clearly a young girl, but her eyes are full of charm, and there is a trace of evil hidden under her cold appearance, just like that kind of evil young lady.

"Miss Chen."

Lu Fuji said lazily: "Is something wrong?"

Chen Jing sipped the red wine, raised her beautiful eyes and said, "It's nothing, I just have a bad feeling. I had a dream last night, about my... ancestors."

Lu Fuji was slightly startled.

"It always feels like this is a road leading to death."

Chen Jing's eyes showed a hint of confusion as they walked through the endless fog. Outside the window was the dark forest passing by, and gradually no light could be seen.

Darkness spreads.

"Feudal superstition is not advisable."

Lu Fuji put down his weapon box, held his tennis bag, and didn't need to hold anything. He just stood calmly in the shaking carriage, closing his eyes and concentrating.

At this moment, there was a thud on the roof of the carriage.

Just for a moment, countless bat-like black shadows seemed to appear in the fog. They roared from both sides at extremely fast speeds, slammed out of the car, took out something like a stun machine and pressed it on the car. On the window, the glass exploded amidst the harsh sound of electricity.

"Enemy attack!"

Xia Yan stood in the middle carriage, leaning on the crutch in his hand, and said calmly: "As expected, our whereabouts were leaked!"

He Sai was surprised: "Then why are you so calm?"

Xia Yan pouted: "I'm afraid of a hammer. As long as the opponent's high-level combat power doesn't take action, no matter how many people come, they will just serve food. We have an ace in our hands, but it's not Lyman, but you, Brother Lu. You probably don't You know how terrifying that kid is now."
