Chapter 897: Second Choice
Gunn was visibly getting older. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
For a powerful stigmata inheritor like him, in fact, as the power of stigmata gradually penetrates the body, the aging of the body will be less obvious, and the life span can be significantly extended.
And now Gunn's hair and beard have turned snow-white, and his face has a lot more wrinkles than it did at the beginning, and he looks much older than Hank, who was a general in the Holy Spirit Temple at the same time.
But in those eyes, the light was brighter than before.
When Gunn found out that it was not Tianxian but Guli who he had seen in the town hall, he didn't look surprised at all, as if all this had been expected by him.
Gu Li has a very high status in the official public information of the Fire Leaf Country, and is the first steward of the entire government, although it seems to be a relatively private position, but everyone understands that in fact, the Fire Leaf Country itself is a very private country.
Without the slightest hesitation, Gu En calmly saluted Gu Li, "Honorable butler, I was ordered to come to meet the Grand Duke, I don't know if he can see me now." ”
Gu Li was slightly surprised, she couldn't feel the slightest anger from Gunn's tall and majestic body, the once grumpy general who contained the power of anger in every word was now calm.
"Our Grand Duke still has very important matters to deal with, and you can tell me if there is anything. ”
Gu En looked at Gu Li, and suddenly a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I really didn't expect that my subordinates were high up at the beginning, but I had to salute and meet them. ”
Gu Li raised her eyebrows, "General Gunn, there is no need to mention the past, otherwise the battle in the Holy Spirit Temple may make me feel that you are not as legendary as I once thought." ”
Gunn smiled, "I'm not a legend, just a little girl's defeated subordinate, and I didn't come here for any additional purpose, just to meet the Grand Duke and ask a few questions." ”
"So, let's talk!"
Gunn stared at Gu Li, his eyes were like sharp knives, and he shook his head for a long time, "No, I must see the Grand Duke, this is my task." ”
"I'm sorry, I said the Grand Duke is busy and may not have time to see you. ”
"I can wait, I think the Grand Duke will see me when he finishes eating or wakes up. ”
Gu Li was furious in her heart and stood up, "Gunn, the Holy Spirit Temple is not welcome here, and there is no need to deal with you, if you don't want to say it, then leave yourself now." ”
Gunn was not angry, but he did not give in, and insisted: "This matter must be done by me to see the Grand Duke in person, and if it doesn't work today, I will come again until I see the Grand Duke." ”
After saying that, Gunn didn't waste his words and turned to leave.
Gu Li was very strange in her heart, what thing must be seen to be idle before she can say?
Back in the back hall, everyone was waiting for Gunn's news here, Gunn's words were repeated, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing Gunn's intention.
"Why do you have to see me...... Tian Xian looked impatient, "The people of the Holy Spirit Hall are the most troublesome, they are swaggering and deceiving everywhere under the banner of human righteousness, which is much more difficult to deal with than the Blood Alliance." ”
"I'm afraid there's something special. Gu Li thought attentively, "As a general of the war, Gu N should not have come here as an envoy at all, and this time he came here alone and had to see you with his own eyes, I'm afraid there is some special reason." ”
"Could it be that they are assassinating me?" said Tian Xian casually.
"It's not impossible, but if it's true...... Let's kill him directly!" Gu Li's eyes flashed coldly, "He is a figure that the Holy Spirit Temple relies on, if we can kill him reasonably, the Holy Spirit Temple will not dare to provoke us in the future!"
I looked at Gu Li and thought that you were a communiqué personal vendetta...... I guess I wish Gunn was here to assassinate.
Everyone discussed it for a while, but to no avail, and they couldn't guess Gunn's intentions.
"I'll see it tomorrow, if he really wants to see me, of course he'll come!"
The next day, Gunn came again.
It was Guli who received him in the town hall.
The conversation was like yesterday, Gunn still had to meet Tianxian in person, and Gunn didn't allow it, and Gunn didn't say much, turned around and retreated.
This went on for three days, and on the fourth day Gunn arrived again as scheduled.
"What's the matter with you?" Gu Lidu felt a little tired, "Now that countries are sending envoys every day, it takes us a lot of time to deal with those envoys, and the Grand Duke doesn't have time to see you, don't you understand?"
Gunn smiled, "As far as I know, the Grand Duke was injured in the operation to the Blood Alliance, and I haven't seen anyone in the past few days, I only want to meet the Grand Duke in person, just a few short words, and it doesn't take much time." ”
"You know exactly where we're going...... "Gu Li narrowed her eyes, "Instead of caring about us, you should pay more attention to the actions of the Blood Alliance, they should be the one to be watched." ”
"Of course, we have never let our guard down against the Blood Alliance, and we will take action soon, so I will come here, to be honest, our actions against the Blood Alliance are directly related to my meeting with the Grand Duke this time, if the Grand Duke feels that the Blood Alliance is not a good ally, then it is better to meet me, it will help us. ”
"Is the Holy Spirit Temple going to attack the Blood Alliance again?" Gu Li was surprised.
Gunn smiled and said no more.
Gu Li also understood that Gu N would not reveal any key information without seeing Tian Xian.
"Okay, then you just wait, maybe next year, our Grand Duke will have time to see you. ”
In fact, the next day, Tian Xian came out on his own and greeted Gunn himself......
Gunn's words still played a great role, if the Holy Spirit Temple wanted to make a move against the Blood Alliance, Tian Xian would be very happy to see this situation, it was best for the Blood Alliance to launch a vigorous attack, and the Blood Alliance would be miserable, so that at least the Blood Sect could be anxious and relieve the evil spirit in his heart a little.
"We've met again......" Tian Xian smiled evilly, "I have a lot of things to deal with these days, and some of them are injured, and I'm really sorry to come to see you now." ”
Gunn looked at Tianxian twice, and with all his dignity, Gunn thought that Tianxian was not injured at all, and how good it was......
"The Grand Duke is serious, it is I who have disturbed me many times and annoyed the Grand Duke. ”
Tianxian is really a little strange in his heart, although Gu Li has told everyone about Gunn's words and deeds in the past few days, making everyone feel that Gu has suddenly changed a lot, but only when he really sees him and sees the living Gu standing in front of him can he feel the difference between him and before.
The scene when he first met Gunn in the Silent Forest, the majestic and irascible general stood in front of him, as if looking at a dead man, if Hank hadn't come to his rescue, I was afraid that he would have been crushed to death like an ant.
And now, this veteran, who should be about the same age as the sixty-year-old Hank, suddenly has a great change in personality, calm, and even much gentler.
It's just that the sharp light in his eyes seems to be brighter than before.
"You're really ...... It's a little unrecognizable to me. Tian Xian couldn't help but sigh softly.
Gunn laughed, "This sentence should be right for me, a few years ago, I would not have believed that the thin boy who was extremely panicked in front of my eyes would become the current Lord of the Fire Leaf Country, a man of the hour who stirred up the situation on the continent." ”
Tian Xian laughed, "Everything is helpless, there is nothing to boast about." ”
"Indeed, everything is helpless...... "Gunn, who seemed to agree deeply with Tian Xian's words, sighed and continued, "The same is true of the Holy Spirit Temple, and so am I, since I was forty years old, I have not been a messenger on such an errand. ”
Tianxian couldn't help but wonder, "Then what are you doing here?"
"It's nothing special to see you. Gunn replied with a smile, his smile suddenly becoming much more cunning than before.
Tian Xian frowned, since he saw Gunn, he had been looking up and down with a scrutinizing gaze, as if he was identifying something, this gaze lasted until just now, he seemed to have gained something, and then returned with a full load to retract that gaze.
"Guli said, you have something to say to me. ”
"It's true, but it's not really anything too special, it's just the nagging of the old man. ”
Tianxian's brows furrowed deeper, and Gunn's expression became relaxed, as if it was ...... I've got what I wanted.
"Does the Grand Duke know how long I've been a saint in the Temple of the Gods?" Gunn suddenly asked a question that puzzled Heaven.
Is it really a matter of time? The day is full of question marks, "I don't know." ”
"I don't know myself, because I've been working hard to become a saint since I don't remember much, I've been serving in the Holy Spirit Temple from a short boy to a white-haired old man, from a sword-wielding soldier to a general in front of the temple, I have experienced an unknown number of battles, blood and flames have accompanied me throughout my journey, I don't remember how many people I have killed, how many wounds I have suffered, I only remember the experience I learned from the enemy, little by little, little by little, this is what Gunn is today. ”
Tianxian listened patiently, and the doubts in his heart did not dissipate in the slightest, but became more intense, and the faint feeling of Tianxian was a little bad.
Gunn continued: "It's a pity that I still lost to a young girl, a former subordinate of mine, I couldn't believe it, but she defeated me, completely irrefutable to me, there are geniuses and miracles in this world, crushing the efforts of ordinary people, trampling on worthless, perhaps...... That's part of the hope that the gods have left for them, there are always some lucky ones who can be miraculously struck, and Guli is just that lucky person. ”
Tian Xian shook his head, "She has never given up the cultivation of the Holy Stigmata, she is working hard every day, she is demanding of herself every day, and she ...... She has beliefs that you don't have, and I don't think she's lucky, she deserves it. ”
"Perhaps......" Gunn did not argue, "God is fair to everyone, and if you want to get something, you have to give up something, and she has achieved power that makes me jealous, but where I can't see it, there must be a corresponding price, but...... Time is a good thing, and it always gives something to those who go through it, and there are times when people can do things that those who haven't experienced it can't. ”
Gunn paused, his smile playful, "For example, now, I can see that there is indeed that aura in you. ”
Tianxian was suddenly stunned, breath! What breath?
"What are you talking about?" Tian Xian involuntarily ran the reverse heart trick, and reined in the breath of his whole body.
"The breath of God. Gunn's eyes sparkled as he looked at Tianxian, "It's surprising, I thought you were just deceiving us in the name of the gods, it turned out ...... You really get that power. ”
Tian Xian stood up violently, "What do you mean by that?"
"A long time ago, I led a group of saints on a quest for a ruin, and unexpectedly gained an ability. Gunn laughed, "Grand Duke, you exude an aura that shouldn't have appeared, how did you get this power?"
Tian Xian was greatly shocked, could Gunn actually be able to tell if someone else had the power of an ancient god?
The memory and knowledge of the Dominator gave Tian Xian a first glimpse of the power and horror of the ancient gods, and Tian Xian knew that he could not use this power very well, but this kind of power should no longer exist on this continent, and no one could find out.
"You're not just talking about these ridiculous things, are you? I've been inspired and blessed by God, that's it!"
"There is no revelation, and there is no such thing as a blessing. Gunn's eyes grew cold, "God has never done anything like that, and we know better than anyone else." ”
Tianxian was shocked.
Gunn slowly walked to the side, sat down by himself, looked at the herbal tea on the table, and poured himself a cup, "It's really a good thing, I didn't expect there to be such herbal tea in the desert." ”
Tian Xian began to be less calm, "What the hell do you want to say?"
Gunn groaned slightly, "Young Grand Duke, the reason why I am here is because the Holy Spirit Temple feels that there is no need to talk to you about those hypocritical things, the so-called gods, the so-called descendants of God, listening to God's revelations, pursuing God's will, these things...... It's just a mask of falsehood. ”
Tian Xian's brows jumped suddenly, "Could it be that the Holy Spirit Temple is telling me that they have been based on the human continent for more than a thousand years and have been lying to all mankind?"
Gunn laughed, "Just like the Grand Duke just said, I have to ...... it"
"Gods, miracles, blessings to mankind, all of these things, the sum of thousands of years is not as good as this cup of herbal tea, because this tea is real. ”
After drinking the herbal tea, Gunn breathed a sigh of relief, "God...... It used to exist, but in the face of a barren world for the sake of blessing mankind, there must always be an excuse for people to regain their faith, right?"
Tianxian felt a chill in his heart, this kind of showdown also means that there will be shocking actions in the future!
"Only the power to survive is eternal. Gunn put down his teaglass, "Young Archduke...... It seems that the time has come for humanity to make a second choice after the Broken Age. (To be continued.) )
