Chapter 570: Clues
Hank seemed to be in a hurry, and after trying a few tricks with Tian Xian, after confirming Tian Xian's growth and the extremely thick characteristics of the Wasteland Sword, he reluctantly left.
But Fang Liang didn't leave.
"He hurried to gather his men, this time he had to go through the Skill Forest to the Eastern Kingdom, which was a very important operation, and as far as I know, Hank himself was also going to the Eastern Kingdom for the first time. ”
In the living room, Fang Liang drank tea and said slowly.
Tian Xian is still reminiscing about the scene of the competition with Hank just now, although it is just a simple three moves and two styles, but this is different from the life and death fight with Luo Du, Hank is obviously a guiding move, for the use of the big sword, Hank obviously has a deeper understanding, these simple moves, so that Tian Xian is extraordinarily envious.
Seeing Tianxian's expression of wandering outside the world, Fang Liang simply said directly to Gu Li on the side, "That lion man should still be on the border of the desert, right?"
Gu Li looked at Tianxian, but Tianxian didn't realize it.
"Don't pay attention to him, I have some things to explain to you directly, and you will tell him when the time comes. ”
"I ...... I ......" Gu Li's eyes were a little weak, and he looked at Fang Liang uncertainly.
Fang Liang smiled slightly, "Don't doubt yourself, this little ghost has long regarded you as his own person, don't look at him as if he doesn't care about anything, but it's not something that anyone will accept, you are already a person, and now that you are famous, you should show confidence." ”
Gu Li's face was slightly red, and she sat upright, and then said, "Tu Ge is indeed still on the border of the desert, do you want him to lead the way this time?"
"If he is willing?" Fang Liang's eyes showed a bit of worry, "To be fair, the alien race and the human race are hostile, and the alien race that comes to the human continent is an inferior citizen, and there is no such relationship of peaceful coexistence between us. Most of the aliens hate humans, and they won't let humans set foot in their homeland, huh...... Because this Tu Ge has an unusual relationship with you, I'll discuss it with Hank, if I can......"
"No problem!" Gu Li nodded in agreement.
Fang Liang was stunned for a moment, "Are you sure he will agree." ”
"Hmm!" Gul nodded again.
"Oh...... Looks like I'm underestimating you. Does this lion man already trust each other with you?"
Gu Li smiled, "Although it is rude, Tu Ge is still very kind, and he will not refuse." ”
"Kindness ......" Fang Liang's mind popped up with the image of a lion man who was more than two meters tall, weighed two hundred kilograms, covered in white hair, and had a wide mouth and fangs, which seemed to have nothing to do with Kindness, and orcs were all irritable and irritable. And the lion man is the best of them.
"Okay...... With a strong alien guide, there would be a lot less trouble, and with Luna and Skinny, we should be safe enough. ”
Gu Li blinked, and couldn't help but ask the doubts in her heart, "This time...... What the hell are we going to do? What kind of treasure are we going to venture deep into the Eastern Kingdoms?"
Fang Liang showed an unfathomable smile, "It is indeed an unprecedented treasure, of course...... Or maybe it's just a legend. Practically empty. ”
"Ah...... What does this mean?" Gu Li almost thought Fang Liang was joking, but he looked serious. It's not like a joke at all.
"The relics of the ancient gods!" Fang Liang said softly.
Gu Li's expression tightened, "Ancient God Ruins!?"
"Yes, it's like the ruins of an ancient god like the Thunder Ancient City. ”
This sentence made Gu Li's heart pound, like the ruins of an ancient god like the Thunder Ancient City! The center of the Thunder Ancient City hides the vital secrets of the entire human continent! Could it be ......
In the nervousness, the thought suddenly turned around, and Gu Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief. I couldn't help but laugh in my heart, this is simply scaring myself, the special thing about the Thunder Ancient City is the existence of Norma, there may indeed be a place like the Thunder Ancient City in this world, but it has entered the portal left by the gods. Norma is probably the only one who has traveled through countless worlds and returned, and if there is no existence in such ruins that can spread the wisdom and skills of the ancient gods, then at least for the current human race, those ruins are of little value.
After all, humans cannot truly comprehend the great power of the ancient gods.
"Ruins...... Are you sure it's in the Eastern Kingdom?" Gu Li's expression softened, and he suddenly felt that this news seemed a little suspicious, "The Eastern Kingdom and the Human Continent are blocked from news, I don't know if this news is ......"
"It's the news from the elves. ”
"Elves?"
"Yes, and it's not just an elf. Fang Liang touched his chin, "In the past half a year, the elves who have come to the Human Continent from various channels have been saying the same thing, that is, the ruins of the ancient gods have been found on the extreme east coast of the Eastern Kingdom, but no one has been able to get close. ”
"Half a year?" Gu Li was slightly surprised, "We don't know this news at all......"
"Of course, although almost every elf says this, this is not a news that can be found casually, but as adventurers, we will naturally pay more attention to this aspect, and even if others hear it, they probably just think it is nonsense, after all, every few days now, someone will say that the ruins of the ancient gods have been discovered, and in the end, it is often just a thatched house from decades ago. ”
Gu Li nodded, no longer doubting the authenticity of the news, but she still frowned, "But...... Why would those elves say that? It seems completely unreasonable, even a little ......."
After hesitating for a moment, Gu Li still didn't continue, but looked at Fang Liang a little embarrassed.
"A bit of a conspiracy, right?" Fang Liang could fully understand Gu Li's concerns, "Indeed, the elves are the race that dislikes to waste their tongues the most, and they can all tell us for free that there is a big cake waiting for us to eat in the Eastern Kingdom, which is simply outright strange, as if they are telling us clearly - they want us to hurry to the Eastern Kingdom to find out." ”
After a while, Fang Liang shook his head, "Stupid...... Humans are incorrigibly stupid, and although they know that these elves are deliberately spreading the news, they ...... Still going to go. ”
"Isn't this a matter of letting others calculate for nothing!?" Gu Li frowned.
"Hmm...... It is true that it will be calculated, but ...... That's what adventurers are. Fang Liang laughed self-deprecatingly, "Although I knew that this would be the case, all of this was also sending a message to us, even if the news of the discovery of the ancient god ruins was fake." Then the guy who fabricated this fake news must have a very special purpose to attract adventurers from the Human Continent to rush to the Eastern Kingdom, and in order to achieve this purpose, he did not hesitate to fabricate the news of the discovery of the ruins of the ancient gods, and then let so many elves continue to come to the Human Continent to publicize it...... You know, starting from the Eastern Kingdoms, passing through the Moyun Mountains and the Silent Forest. There are at most one-twelfth out of a tenth of the alien races that can reach the human continent, that is to say, just to pass this news to the human continent, the alien race has paid the price of an unknown number of lives. ”
Gu Li's expression couldn't help but be a little solemn when she heard this.
"There is something very important going on in the Eastern Kingdoms, and one that is closely related to us, and if you choose to remain silent, you will have nothing, and if you choose to move forward, you may be calculated. Maybe you'll find the real ruins of the ancient gods, or maybe you'll have an unexpected catch. ”
Looking at Gu Li with a sly gaze, Fang Liang asked, "If you were an adventurer, what would you choose?"
"This ......"
Fang Liang looked at the day that was still forgetful, "If I guessed correctly, I should act according to this kid's choice." ”
Gu Li's face was slightly hot, and she couldn't speak anymore.
Fang Liang smiled, "Okay." That's probably the case, so I'll explain it to you in detail when we meet in Crosstown. It's time for me to go back, too. ”
Gu Li hurriedly got up and sent Fang Liang to the door with a restrained expression.
"I don't need to send it, I still want to walk slowly, the night is good. Fang Liang said goodbye to Gu Li at the door, and then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Where did you two go today? Recently, the imperial capital has not been very peaceful, you also know." But don't let that kid mess with anything else. ”
"We were just looking for someone so came back late. ”
"Oh, looking for someone?" Fang Liang never expected to answer like this, "Do you know anyone else here? ”
"It's a girl named Lei Jie, who is nineteen years old. Gu Li said casually.
Heaven and Earth Conscience Gu Li didn't expect Fang Liang to provide any clues. It was only in the spirit of being polite and hoping a little more that he said it to Fang Liang, after all, there were too many such people, and he didn't know which one it was.
Who knew that Fang Liang pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then suddenly he was stunned.
"You...... You repeat. ”
"It's a girl named Leijie. Gu Li saw that Fang Liang's expression was a little strange, and his tone became a little heavier, "Nineteen years old this year." ”
Fang Liang's expression immediately became even stranger, staring at Gu Li as if he was looking at some little monster.
Gu Li was completely puzzled, "Uncle Fang, you ...... Do you know such a person?"
"Hmm......" Fang Liang looked a little embarrassed, "I do know such a person, but ...... What are you looking for her?"
Gu Li couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, but she didn't expect to find one all of a sudden.
However, this surprise was quickly diluted by helplessness, Gu Li knew very well that even if Fang Liang knew, it might not be the Lei Jie mentioned by Starling, without any personal characteristics, there was no way to determine the identity at all.
"We ...... We met a man before, he said that there was an older sister, nineteen years old, named Lei Jie, who was in the Longyuan Empire, and asked us to take good care of her if we saw her. ”
When Gu Li said this, Fang Liang's expression immediately became strange as if he had seen a ghost, "You guys...... I met a person who said that there was a sister named Lei Jie, where is this person?"
"Uh...... Uncle Fang, you?"
"Oh...... I don't mean anything, I just ...... It's just that this girl's identity is not simple, have you been deceived by someone?"
"Absolutely not!"
Fang Liang and Gu Li looked back, and Tian Xian walked out of the house.
"Uncle Fang, the information we got is very limited, but it will definitely not be meaningless, he has a sister named Lei Jie, nineteen years old......" Tian Xian paused, "He died in front of me, before he died...... If we can, take care of his sister. ”
"That's right...... Could it be a coincidence?" Fang Liang's face was full of doubts.
"Uncle Fang, if you know such a person, don't hesitate to tell us, and we will naturally determine the identity of this person. ”
Fang Liang couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Boy, you think simply, this person is not something you can see if you want to see it." ”
Tianxian was a little puzzled, "Could it be ...... What's the point?"
"Isn't it just a big deal...... Fang Liang looked in the direction of the palace, "Do you know what the first princess of the Longyuan Empire is?"
"Uh......"
"Uh......"
Tian Xian and Gu Li couldn't help but open their mouths wide when they heard this.
"Gong ...... Princess?" Tian Xian plucked his ears, "I said Uncle Fang, did you hear it wrong, I mean that the girl's name is ......"
"Her real name is Lei Jie, and she happens to be nineteen years old this year. ”
Tian Xian and Gu Li's mouths opened wider......
"You should have seen it last time, but you shouldn't have noticed it, she is very low-key and rarely showy, but she is a restrained and wise princess, ranking fourth among the emperor's unmarried heirs, so everyone calls her the fourth princess of Longsi. ”
Tianxian and Guli, look at me, I look at you, I am a little in a daze for a while.
Is it a coincidence that the princess of the Longyuan Empire is born to be Lei Jie, and she is just nineteen years old this year?
"So...... What is the identity of that friend of yours?, can you tell me?" Fang Liang asked quite seriously, "These heirs of the Great Emperor are also considered my students, and I don't want to have anything to do with them. ”
"This ...... It can't be her, the guy we met isn't a prince, just an unlucky ghost. Tianxian shrugged his shoulders and looked helpless.
Fang Liang thought about it, and seemed to feel that there was almost no possibility, so he couldn't help but shake his head, "You little ghosts, you always make such a headache, forget it! Don't bother Her Royal Highness the Princess, she doesn't like to give birth to people, and she can't be the person you are looking for anyway." ”
Saying goodbye to Tianxian and Gu Li, Fang Liang left slowly while enjoying the night view alone.
And Tianxian and Gu Li put their heads together and discussed quickly.
"Could it be the princess of the Longyuan Empire?"
"Won't you...... If so, is that bastard trying to kill us?"
"Yes...... But this is a bit too coincidental. ”
"Didn't you say that there are two thousand such girls in the Longyuan Empire?"
"But this is the most special one!"
"Maybe it's more ordinary, right?"
"There's no way a girl everywhere can tell us something special, right?"
"Hmm...... What you said seems to have some truth, but trespassing into the palace is a killing person. ”
"Now there are a hundred forces that want to kill our heads, and it doesn't matter if there is one more, and if it is discovered, it will be good to say that you are cowardly and want to blaspheme the princess. ”
"Hey, that's still a head-killing one, right?"
"Hmm...... But as a woman, I'm not guilty. ”
"You...... When did you learn badly?"
"Ever since I met you!"
"How pure, so kind, how selfless, how perfect I am......"
"Okay, shut up, how long will it take for those materials to be fine. ”
"Uh...... There's a triangle, no problem if you don't have to, and it's ......"
"Then let's go!!" (to be continued......)
