The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

The strange rocks are like jumping flames, but they just happen to be still at a certain moment, and Taixu Mountain is like a whole group of flames that have stopped and been coated with thick gray and green paint - this pops up in my mind When the idea came to his mind, Otto was already standing at the top of Taixu Mountain.

Looking behind me, the steep and narrow path is like a thin snake that keeps winding until the forest sea at the end of the sight is no longer visible.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and the vision became blurred. It turned out that thin clouds were coming in like a wave, covering everything in front of them in an illusion that seemed like a dream but not a dream.

"Gulu——"

There was silence all around, except for the whimpering of the wind pushing the sea of ​​clouds forward bit by bit. Because of this, the sound of Otto swallowing hard was so obvious, and it quickly spread to the surroundings——

"Gulu——"

Kallen followed and swallowed.

"Gulu——"

The same was true for the girl with white hair and purple eyes that Kallen was holding with her right hand.

Along the way, from Qinchak grassland to Taixu Mountain, the journey was more than 99,900 miles. During the journey, we saw many wonders and wonders that we could never see on ordinary days. However, when facing the vast sea of ​​clouds in Taixu Mountain, we were surprised. Consciously all language has been temporarily stripped away.

There are no words that can be used to describe the scenery in front of me and the thoughts that are constantly emerging in my heart. Thousands of years flash past my eyes like a white horse, like an extremely ethereal and distant voice that keeps whispering in my heart, but I want to. When I open my eyes to see clearly every scene of the years, and when I want to listen to every murmur in my heart, I can find nothing and hear nothing.

"Keep your heart in mind, and you will not be disturbed by others. The immortals have set up many illusions in Taixu Mountain. If those who come have no ill intentions and have some qualifications, they will fall into the immortal's view of 'asking the heart', just like you just did. "

The woman who spoke was standing next to the Immortal Red Kite. She looked to be about the same age as the Immortal. However, Kallen and Otto, who had seen the "real" Red Kite, felt that the woman in front of them was much older.

Although it is not a good habit to guess the age of others, people are naturally afraid of the unknown and want to understand the unknown. This is the instinct of curiosity.

However, it was really impolite to ask direct questions and might embarrass the woman, so Otto could only make some harmless speculations in his mind:

The woman in front of her looks to be in her twenties. Considering that the Awakened Stigmata live longer, her actual age should be older, perhaps in her thirties - most of the disciples of Immortal Scarlet Kite should also be Stigmata. Holder?

"This is my first disciple, Chao Yu. From today on, all your food, clothing and accommodation in the mountain will be taken care of by Chao Yu."

Hearing the word "first disciple" uttered by Chi Yuan herself, Lin Chaoyu's eyes widened a little for no reason, as if she was in joy, but soon a more complex emotion came up. She lowered her head slightly, her eyes Staring at the smooth masonry beneath her feet, it was as if she was nodding her head - that's what Otto would have thought if he hadn't noticed the rapid change in her expression.

This couldn't help but make him smile - no matter Europa or China, no matter destiny or Taixu, human beings are the same and have all kinds of emotions, positive, negative, bright and dark, and can be honest with each other. It must be buried deep in my heart...

So, how old is the Immortal Red Kite?

Otto has an excellent memory. He remembered exactly the conversation between Chi Yuan and the two people when they were in the Kipchak grassland. Their conversation hardly avoided him, for they spoke not Chinese, Germanic, or Latin, but an older lingua franca. Kallen and Eleanor might not, but Otto had seen and studied them in the ancient books of the Apokalis family, and it was not difficult to understand their meaning.

Because of this, relying on that few words, Otto made countless calculations in his mind, and coupled with the information that Void Manzo had leaked, he had already obtained the truth that he believed to be true.

Unfortunately, he could not ask anyone for confirmation. His first reaction was naturally to ask Void Manzo, but from that day on, Void Manzo fell into complete silence. No matter what Otto said, what it sent out was nothing. Just a long breath.

As for Chi Yuan himself, Otto had tried to ask, but the latter seemed to have seen through everything before Otto could speak, and answered one step ahead:

"No need to ask, that's not something you should be burdened with in this era."

Yes, although Chi Yuan ruthlessly rejected his request to know more, she didn't know if she did so on purpose. Her words also confirmed the accuracy of some of Otto's guesses from the side.

"It seems that the two men before, as well as Immortal Red Kite, are all people from an older era... What is the relationship between Kevin and Adam, the founder of the Kaslana family? Is it the ancestor of Apokaris, as mentioned by Kūku Manzo, or... Shaniat? But from this point of view, it seems that Kōku Manzo is also a relic of Akito Sage's time... Wait a minute. , could this be..."

Otto raised his head suddenly and met Chi Yuan's emotionless eyes.

"That... Immortal Red Kite, I still want to know why you must bring us to China? If you treat us as protons according to what you said, we should be handed over to the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom."

Over the past few months, Kallen's Chinese language has improved rapidly, and she can now communicate in Chinese without any barriers.

I don't know whether to say there was a tact or something, but the question she asked happened to be what Otto was thinking just now.

But Chi Yuan didn't give any response, she didn't even look at Otto anymore, she just turned around without saying a word and walked deeper into the courtyard.

Lin Chaoyu faced the two people, no, three people to be precise, because there was also Vera who Karen insisted on bringing with her - Otto Vera.

She smiled apologetically at the three of them:

"I'm sorry, the Immortal is so forgetful and ignorant of the world. This is normal. That's why she needs me to accompany her to check for leaks and fill in the gaps."

At this point, Lin Chaoyu's smile showed signs of becoming brighter, but for some reason, she suppressed it for the first time, and then a sadness that was visible to the naked eye suddenly surged up.

"well……"

She sighed inexplicably.

"Ms. Chaoyu, what's wrong with you?"

Kallen tilted her head and asked in confusion.

But Lin Chaoyu quickly shook her head and squinted her eyes, making her expression unclear.

"I just thought of some sad things..."

She opened her eyes wide again and glanced across the faces of Karen and Otto. The white-haired girl obviously believed her words, but this blond Rakshasa...

A series of ripples appeared in Lin Chaoyu's heart. She knew that she had made a huge mistake. She should not show such emotions in front of outsiders.

It was completely beyond their expectations that the master would bring people back. These three Rakshasa people have become huge variables...

But precisely because of this, she should not show too many emotions in front of them...

But, but...

The heart lake is already full of circular ripples, so what kind of undercurrent is surging under the heart lake? Needless to say?

"But...it doesn't matter."

Lin Chaoyu shook his head secretly.

"It's just a few variables. Although this is beyond expectations, it is not difficult for her to make a targeted plan, right?"

Lin Chaoyu forced out a somewhat stiff smile and said:

"Then, please come with me, the three of you. Although Taixu Mountain is small, there are several guest rooms. I don't know how to arrange the three of them?"

Immortals never pay attention to common affairs, and the entire communication between Taixu Mountain and the secular world is almost entirely handled by Lin Chaoyu, the senior sister. This situation has been maintained for more than ten years. Therefore, although she dare not say that she has the power of her second junior sister Su Mei, she has honed a lot of skills in dealing with people, dealing with the turbulent rivers and lakes, and dealing with the aloof court over the years.

Just like now, she just said a simple word to divert the attention of the blond Rakshasa who might have noticed something.

His face seemed to be as normal, as plain and elegant as ever, but his face tilted to the left without any trace. His long blond hair was tied up and hung on his left shoulder, so Lin Chaoyu could clearly see the color of the lobe of his right ear gradually turning red, which was in sharp contrast to his unusually fair skin.

But the Rakshasa girl was not so excited. Although her face was a little rosy, she just bit her lips and lowered her head without saying anything, which surprised Lin Chaoyu.

On the way up the mountain, she briefly chatted with the two of them. She knew that they were childhood sweethearts and that they were already engaged. However, based on their current behavior, it seemed...

"There seems to be some gap between them..."

Lin Chaoyu didn't think she was good at guessing people's hearts, but after all, she had met a lot of people, and she always had some insights. She looked at the distance between the two fists deliberately left between the two people's shoulders, and then recalled that the two people seemed to be close, but they were... There was little verbal communication, and she only felt that there was an invisible wall separating the two of them. Their bodies might be able to continue getting closer until shoulders were touching, which wouldn't be difficult, but their hearts might be... that's it anyway.

When Lin Chaoyu thought of this, the small pride and joy that had just arisen in Lin Chaoyu's heart due to his success dissipated without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Yeah...so what about childhood sweethearts? So what if the sun and the moon have been getting along for a long time?

Unless they are cut open, taken out, and put together, it is impossible for people's hearts to be closely connected. The so-called connection of minds is nothing more than wishful thinking.

She smiled to herself and said in a voice just low enough for outsiders to catch:

"I understand, I will prepare two guest rooms for the three of you."

Then, she bent down again, reached out and rubbed Vera's little head, and said politely:

"This little sister has very good qualifications. If you want to practice martial arts, you can practice with us. Yan Qing, Su Yi and Ling Shuang are not much older than her."

"Eh? Is that okay?"

Kallen's eyes lit up. She grasped the hem of her clothes with some embarrassment and replied loudly:

"Then I'll trouble Ms. Chaoyu!"

The corner of Lin Chaoyu's mouth twitched twice quickly, and then she remembered that these were Rakshasa people from the far west. Maybe they really didn't understand what "politeness" meant...

She quickly turned to look at Otto and blinked twice quickly, but this rather careful and shrewd man just tilted his head and raised his eyebrows in confusion...

Well, Rakshasa people are Rakshasa people…

Just when she was thinking about what kind of attitude she should take to reject Kallen, she heard the latter continue to say:

"That...that...since this child is very qualified, can you trouble the immortal to accept her as his apprentice?"

At this moment, even Otto felt embarrassed. He quickly tugged on Karen's sleeve and advised politely:

"Uh-huh, um... Kallen, you are already the most powerful Valkyrie in destiny. If Vera wants to practice martial arts, you can definitely guide Vera... right? Right?"

Kallen turned her head to look at Otto, with a mixture of emotions on her face, which suddenly became more complicated than Lin Chaoyu's just now.

But over the past few months, Otto has become accustomed to Karen's eyes like this. It's time to confess some things...

It's just that it's still a little short of the mark, at least not now, at least not at this moment.

But... some things... some communication, can it really only be done through words? Looking into Otto's green eyes, Kallen was sure of something.

She pushed her lower lip upward, then turned her head away hard, and the fishbone braid passed across Otto's cheek. She gritted her teeth lightly, closed her eyes, let her breath become long again, and then said smoothly:

"The so-called most powerful Valkyrie is destined to be the most powerful, but in front of Immortal Red Kite, she is nothing more than a clown who can't even sustain a single move."

This change in the expressions of the two people was all expected by Lin Chaoyu. She shook her head, and the corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a smile that was either sarcastic or self-deprecating.

Otto touched the tip of his nose, where the smell of Karen's hair still remained.

His eyes were on the back of Karen's head, and after a while, he turned to Vera, who was confused. She was still young. Although Otto had taught her a lot of Chinese along the way, her learning ability was compared to It is indeed extremely outstanding for her peers, but a child is a child after all. She may understand a few words of the few people just now, but she has no idea what each sentence means and what is behind it.

Otto put on a gentle smile at Vera and continued to persuade Karen:

"Besides, what Ms. Chaoyu said is the same, if Vera wants to practice martial arts, right? Maybe Vera doesn't like fighting and killing...?"

Kallen was also unambiguous and immediately said something to Vera in a language that Lin Chaoyu couldn't understand.

Vera blinked, and then nodded vigorously.

At this moment, Otto was really speechless.

Although Lin Chaoyu didn't understand, he seemed to know what was going on. She had a vague feeling that this Rakshasa girl named Kallen... might indeed have a very straight character, but she definitely didn't understand anything. If she really took her politeness as an invitation at the beginning, then she shouldn't have failed to understand after Otto's two reminders.

To put it bluntly, she was just using this excuse to vent her uncontrollable sorrow after finally confirming the existence of the invisible barrier.

Lin Chaoyu smiled. This time there was no bitterness or sarcasm in her smile. It was a pure smile. The muscles on her cheeks contracted upwards. Then she naturally raised her fingers to brush away the floating hair on her forehead. Silk, but accidentally shook his hand and touched the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes caused by his smile...

"..."

It turns out that she is already thirty-six years old.

Has she been with the immortal... with the master for thirty years...

She smiled, and her vision gradually became blurry.

In fact, it would not be bad to let the master take on another apprentice.

Whether it is this girl named Vera or even this girl named Kallen, both their qualifications and their character are considered to be one in a million. If they had appeared a few years earlier, even if the master did not want to accept any more disciples, she might have Will take the initiative to help them speak.

But it's a pity...it's a pity, it's a pity...

pity! pity! pity! pity! pity!

"There is no need to talk about accepting disciples."

Lin Chaoyu shook his head slowly but firmly.

"If the master wanted to accept a disciple, he would have told you directly. If she didn't say anything, it was because she didn't want to."

"Is this so..."

Karen shook her head without much regret.

But Lin Chaoyu smiled again:

"However, what I said before still stands. Although the master does not want to accept apprentices, and my disciples are not qualified to accept apprentices, but martial arts is the most taboo against closed doors. If you are willing, you can also discuss and exchange with us."

After saying this, Lin Chaoyu pursed his lips tightly.

She realized that she had made another mistake. Those words just now...should not have been unnecessary and presumptuous.

Forget it……

Let Second Junior Sister deal with the variables brought about by these three Rakshasa people.

A cold light flashed in Lin Chaoyu's eyes, but the smile on her face remained unchanged. She turned around slowly, and her wide dress drew a faint arc in the thin sea of ​​clouds as she moved.

"Life and death have destiny, wealth and honor are in heaven."

A trace of intolerance flashed in her heart.

And then there are more...bits and pieces from the past thirty years.

Under her wide sleeves, her fists were clenched tightly.

That’s all…

That’s all…

After settling these Rakshasa people...

Just make one last effort...

Perhaps it is the last time to serve the master as a disciple.
