Chapter 424: The Hidden Room
Emperor Longyuan sent an envoy as a special ambassador to resolve the long-standing hatred with the Shalit Empire, preparing to make an unprecedented friendly visit to the Shalit Empire.
Tian Xian looked at the message on the note, and couldn't help but have a sad face.
Regarding the relationship between the Longyuan Empire and the Shalit Empire, Tian Xian carefully asked the Sand King, although the Little Sand King is young, he has a lot of historical allusions between countries, and he is even more familiar with the powerful Longyuan Empire.
Historically, because of border disputes, 90% of the communication between the Longyuan Empire and the Shalit Empire was to raise troops to fight each other, and the remaining 10% was to exchange war letters, or national letters that condemned each other.
There is no such thing as a friendly visit between the two countries. And this time, it is considered to have an alliance with the Shalit Empire, and the Longyuan Empire sent an envoy over, which is a bit intriguing.
And the most important thing is not the sending of the messenger itself, but the identity of the messenger.
Tian Xian read the message on the note several times, and finally fully determined the identity of the special messenger above: Long Qi!
This female Tyrannosaurus rex is actually going to visit the Shalit border as a friendly messenger!
As a famous imperial daughter of the Longyuan Empire, Long Qi's identity is naturally extremely important, but even the deaf may have heard that Long Qi has a lot of complaints about this cooperation, and he also fought when the envoy of the Shalit Empire sent the Longyuan Empire......
Tianxian scratched his head: "This female Tyrannosaurus rex and I are enemies! What did Emperor Longyuan send her to do?"
Of course, as an envoy for peace, Long Qi is bound to be ceremoniously welcomed, and even the Sand King has to be treated with caution, and it is completely impossible to block Long Qi back.
The small city on the border of the Shalit Empire is under construction at a rapid pace, the construction of the city. In fact, there is also a hidden purpose, transforming the land and building cities on the border, and transforming the desert into an oasis on a large scale in the depths of the desert.
Therefore, there are no secrets in this small town on the border that cannot be seen, and even the seeds of the mother vine flower are specially selected with some shriveled ones. The kind with low vitality, the ice water poured is not filtered so carefully as much as possible, and the essence of silver water contained in it is very weak......
In general, the construction of oases on the desert border is still relatively slow, and because of the special environment of the desert, it is difficult to see the original appearance of the mother king vine flower after the transformation.
This small city presents a scene of prosperity, but must work hard, which is completely different from the situation of the vigorous mother king Tenghua growing in a large area in the depths of the desert.
This qiΔ. It's all for outsiders to see, and in the original plan to transform the desert, there was also a response plan like the Longyuan Empire sending an envoy to check it, but no one expected that the envoy who came to visit would have such a sensitive identity.
Tian Xian pondered, now that he was not there, Gu Li's whereabouts in the Gustas Empire could not be confirmed, and the contacts directly with the Longyuan Empire were absent. Long Qi's purpose is unclear again, coupled with his hot temper. I'm afraid there is a possibility that there will be problems with this visit.
"Did the Sand King say anything about Long Qi's visit?" Tian Xian asked casually as he quickly took out a pen and paper to write a reply.
"Shawang said he would fully cooperate with us. β
Tianxian nodded, Long Qi came in the name of visiting the Shalit Empire, but naturally he came to visit his small city on the border, and he had been at odds with the Shalit Empire for many years. Emperor Long Yuan shouldn't be bored thinking that Long Qi could go deep into the desert and see something new.
Therefore, the purpose of bringing Longqi, at least on the surface, is to inspect the construction of border green space in a friendly manner, so as to strengthen the friendly cooperation between the two sides.
After writing two lines, Tian Xian suddenly remembered something. "What is the name of the young man who came to us from the Marshal's Mansion, oh, it seems to be called Baoshu, does he have any indication?"
"I haven't had time to tell him about this, and everyone doesn't like him very much, and maybe they don't want to hear his opinion at all. β
"Go and ask him what he means immediately!" Tianxian sighed helplessly, "He was sent to us by the marshal for emergency at a special time, when will you ask if you don't ask his opinion at this time?"
"Okay master, I'll convey your meaning as soon as I get back. β
"And!" Tian Xian blinked a few times, "It's not sure about the date of Long Qi's arrival, from now on, until Long Qi arrives, if there is no special news, you don't have to go back and forth every day, just stay at the desert border, when Long Qi arrives, you go to meet her, understand?"
"So is it the master who is going to greet you, or is Guli going to greet you?" Gollum understood the meaning of Tianxian very well, and disguised himself as another person, which was his specialty.
"Both of them have to show up, don't let Long Qi notice that Gu Li and I are not there, huh...... Can you show up for both of you at the same time?"
Gollum raised the bird's head proudly, "Meaningless." β
Tian Xian smiled slightly, since leaving the Divine Domain, whether it is Triangle or Gollum, these two guys have become more humane.
"Alright, bring this back to everyone, so that everyone is prepared!" Tian Xian tied the letter to Gollum's feet, "Hmm...... I have a hunch that there may be some strange articles on Long Qi's visit this time, so everyone should be careful. β
"Rest assured by the hosts, we will deal with it with care. β
Without staying long, Gollum took the letter and hurried back to the lair to return to the Shalit Empire.
Tianxian thought about it for a while in front of the window, but he still didn't understand the point, and he didn't understand what Long Qi meant by running at this time, so he had to shrug his shoulders and give up the guess, and left the room slowly......
Eve was humming softly as she prepared dinner......
If it weren't for the black horn on her head, if it weren't for the upside-down ice field hanging in the sky in the huge window behind her, this woman busy in a simple little kitchen was a very warm picture.
"Let's have a taste, ah~~" Tianxian was watching Eve busy, and suddenly a fried crispy small fish was handed to Tianxian's eyes, and Eve shook the fried fish in her hand like teasing a kitten......
Tianxian really admires this woman, no matter when, her somewhat off-line personality can make her happy.
Although the fried fish was very ugly, and the fish itself did not know how many years it had been stored, Tian Xian was still willing to eat it. It's the most delicious thing you've eaten in a month...... It's a bit salty though.
"How's the conversation with Ling?" Eve's tone was always so pleasant.
"It's not good......" Tianxian reminisced about the smell of fish.
Eve chuckled, and suddenly whispered a little mysteriously: "Girls, you have to coax more, especially girls of this age, although they have the most eccentric personalities, they will be very happy as long as they have a little sweet words." Little fool, I am very optimistic about you, and do not disappoint me. β
Listening to Eve's words, Tian Xian felt that he seemed to be her own son, and Ling was the daughter-in-law who was going to marry......
"Sister Eve, on our way back, I saw a lot of books, some of which are still usable, I wonder if I can read them?"
Eve frowned. Very strict sΓΉ said to Tianxian: "Of course, you are now most of the Tianyan clan, and this is the place where the ancestors of the Tianyan clan lived, and every Tianyan clan who comes here is qualified to learn a qiΔ here, so you don't have to ask me at all, you must know that this question itself is a denial of your own identity! Hmm...... No, no, no! This is not possible at all! You must know that my sister's two daughters are married to you. β
"Ahh β
Tianxian found that Eve suddenly became strangely shy, "If you still want to marry my sister's daughter." That's a very difficult thing, and my sister probably won't be able to leave here for the rest of her life. I'll never see you again......"
Tianxian felt powerless...... Eve's ideas are a little hard to keep up with.
"But it's okay!" Eve smiled happily, "When you leave the Far North, you can find Bai, ah~~ He is so handsome, there must be many women who like her, and there will be many daughters." You can pick a few of your favorite ones and marry them back. β
Tianxian smiled helplessly, but after hearing this, he couldn't laugh.
This light and pleasant tone is indeed such a helpless and sad thing to say...... Eve has fully accepted the fact that she is living in Hanguta, alone. Until the silence disappears......
Tianxian suddenly had a feeling that the happy smile of the woman in front of her was her last choice against endless pain and torture......
"Sister Eve, whether it's Xue or Ling, and Sister Eve, I'll definitely save you from here......" There were no grandiose words, no excited tone, the sky was calm and calm, as if to say something inconsequential.
Eve's smile was still the same, busy wrestling with today's dinner, the gossip didn't seem to stir up any waves, but under her eyes, there was an invisible light flickering slightly.
"Little fool!" Eve giggled, "you are really just as innocent and cute as Shiro...... But my sister believes that you will also grow into a reliable man and will make the right choice when the time comes. β
"I'm going to grow up to be a reliable man, but things don't always mean me. β
Eve's eyes flickered slightly, "Sometimes, there is only one choice......"
Tian Xian smiled, "Then I can get everything done early before this situation appears!"
Eve looked at Tianxian a little helplessly, "What a little fool......"
"Hehe!" Tian smiled happily, "no one will predict the future, just think about it, no one knows if those gods will really come again." β
This time, Eve's movements stiffened significantly, and she looked at Tian Xian with a strange look, "Sister has always been very strange, you seem to have many different opinions on these things, and where did you learn that knowledge, if you haven't been exposed to it, then unless you are someone who has never accepted the rules of the human world, you will definitely not be able to accept and understand those things so quickly." β
"I grew up in a closed mountain, and it's been less than a year since I left my hometown. Tian Xian cleverly bypassed Eve's question, "So this doesn't seem very strange." β
Eve blinked, and suddenly found a new continent and looked at Tianxian, "Growing up in the mountains, it's really the same as white!"
Tianxian thought to himself, can you not open your mouth and close your mouth is that white? The whole world knows that he is your husband......
Moreover, I feel a little strange about Tianxian myself, what is that white. Is it still a little similar to yourself?
"But he doesn't understand this strange knowledge...... Eve's gaze kept moving over Tian Xian, "Can you tell Sister SΓΉ, why are you so enthusiastic about learning this knowledge?"
Tianxian said seriously: "If I say it's to save the world, will my sister believe it?"
"Well, I believe it. β
Such a happy answer. It surprised Tianxian very much, "Believe?"
Eve withdrew her gaze and began to focus on the miserable appearance of dinner, "Maybe you won't believe it, but looking at you, it's like seeing the old white, he is also so innocent, his eyes are shining, he once said to me." He wanted to save the world, and he did, but ......"
Tian Xian was a big accident and saved the world? This is a bit too much, isn't it? According to the information obtained from the Dragon Yuan Empire, Xue's father, Evelena's husband, that is, the man called Bai, is a very withdrawn personality. There are almost no outliers from friends.
No one knows what his real name is, Shiro is the generic name for him. Because he always wears a white dress, although this guy usually doesn't provoke right and wrong, but he is a famous Stigmata Inheritor on the Human Continent! Swordsmanship is extremely powerful, and he also cultivates three Stigmata, so he can be said to be an absolute genius.
But that's all there seems to be to him for, and there are very few of his deeds. The reason why he is famous is because he accidentally bumped into a powerful opponent twice, and then calmly defeated the opponent, which is widely known, and his usual whereabouts are uncertain, and no one knows whether he has a fixed place to live. It's impossible to know what he's doing, and what he's thinking.
There's no word of this guy doing anything like saving the world.
Moreover, if you are busy saving the world, it seems that you don't need to go to the extreme north alone to seduce the beautiful Tianyan clan......
Thinking of this, a question popped up uncontrollably in Zai Tianxian's mind.
"Sister Eve, I ...... Why did he come to the Far North?"
Eve was stunned, her eyes flickered slightly, "You little villain, you want to find out about your sister's details!"
"No, I just want to know what kind of person Xue's father is. Tian Xian didn't think about it so much, the question itself really wanted to know more about Xue's father, because it seemed that Xue and Bai had a very bad relationship, and it didn't even look like a father and daughter at all.
Who has ever seen a father who left his daughter in a mortally dangerous forest, and who did not come to visit his daughter when her name had spread widely on the mainland, but cultivated in a secluded place by himself.
Tianxian always felt that there was something wrong with this white......
Eve was visibly happier, "Well, what about him...... Very naΓ―ve, very handsome, very powerful......" Soon, Eve seemed to fall into selfless nostalgia......
Tian Xian sighed, it seemed that asking Eve this question was a completely wrong decision...... And judging by her appearance, it is better not to tell the story about the snow being left in the silent forest.
Now that I think about it, it's really a miracle that Xue can grow up under the care of such a father.
"Sister Eve, I'll help, is there anything else to prepare for dinner?" Tian Xian looked at the dinner, which had become more miserable because of his words, and shook his head, but he still planned for his stomach first......
............
In the following days, the Hangu Tower, which had been silent for nearly a hundred years, became lively.
"Hmm...... It seems that this should be the case, move the line here, and the loops seem to be completely connected. β
Eve and Ling Zheng looked intently at Tian Xian on the other side of the table, in an antique and dusty room, the three of them found a artifact left over from ancient times, this thing seems to be still usable, the three of them studied for a long time, Tian Xian seems to have finally found the correct usage.
The unknown lines on the surface of this appliance were redrawn with liquid crystal, and compared with the residual lines, it was a perfect fit!
"Take a look at it with stigmata. "Tian Xian handed over the things to Ling.
In the past few days, whenever I encounter such things, I will hand them over to Ling Lai for the last step of inspection, this time the things in the tower are different from old to new, some are slightly newer, occasionally there are ones that can be used directly, and some are very old, even if they are not damaged, but if you want to drive. But it needs the corresponding strength, but fortunately, most things in this cold ancient tower can be driven by Ling's stigma.
After all, it was something left behind by the Tianyan Clan, and at that time it was already an ice field.
"Wow!!!"
Ling hugged the strange ring-shaped instrument before pouring the power of the stigmata into it, and a shining light and shadow appeared from this strange thing, which couldn't help but make Ling cry out in surprise.
on this ring-shaped appliance. The light and shadow of a tall tower appeared.
"Hanguta?" Tianxian and Eve were also very surprised, this light and shadow was clearly Hanguta itself.
Tian Xian immediately glanced at the tiny scales on the edge of this utensil, and handed Ling a look, and Ling Huiyi immediately condensed the power of the stigma onto those tiny scales.
Suddenly, the light and shadow changed, from a tall tower to a huge floor plan.
"Oh, is this the map of the Ancient Tower? what a blessing!" Tian Xian was overjoyed, "It's much easier to find things now." β
The three of them looked at it layer by layer with great excitement, and Ling's power shifted a little on those scales, and the light and shadow would change into diagrams on other levels. From the first floor to the highest top floor, it only takes a few minutes to look at it all.
"Huh?" Ling was suddenly stunned, "On the top floor...... There seems to be something else. β
Now the light and shadow show that it is already the top layer that Eve took Tian Xian and Ling to see, but Tian Xian looked at the scale, and indeed there was a scale in front of the scale that flashed light.
Ling poured his power into the last scale, and the light and shadow changed, but disappeared directly.
Three, you look at me. I looked at me and couldn't help but look at each other.
"Is there a mistake?" Tian Xian looked at Ling strangely.
"How so?" Ling gestured to the last scale that was already flickering. "There are no images on this level!"
Tian Xian looked at the scale, it was indeed just like Ling said, and he couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Sister Eve, what we saw that time wasn't the top layer?"
Eve was also puzzled, "It should be." There's no stairs going up any further, but I'm just getting there a little before you, and I don't know what's up there. β
Something that Eve didn't even know! A question mark suddenly popped up in Tianxian's heart.
In the past few days, the three of them have spent most of their time searching for the available utensils in the Hangu Tower, after all, the living materials sent here by Grandma Kong are only for Eve. Now plus Tianxian and Ling will soon be overstretched, and when Grandma Kong will appear, Eve herself can't say.
Moreover, I have to say that there are still many very valuable things left here.
In the past few days, in addition to digging out a lot of food that has been preserved by secret methods, I have really found some things that can represent the ancient Tianyan civilization, from these different sizes and different types of utensils, we can find a lot of traces of the life of the Tianyan clan in the past, and most of these things have the formations and inscriptions used by the Tianyan clan at that time, and there are some successful processes of re-driving, which has given Tianxian great inspiration in the use of formations.
Now, on the floor where the three of them lived, several rooms were already filled with similar utensils,
But this is the first time I've found something like a map.
"An invisible layer?" Tian Xian looked overhead, "Sister Eve, let's have dinner earlier today." β
Eve's eyes lit up instantly, "Okay! let's go check it out after dinner!"
Ling looked at the two people who were eager to try, and felt a little helpless, these two people seemed to have infinite energy to explore everywhere these days, and they also had to pull themselves, and they were half tired and half dead every day.
"Since Grandma Empty didn't mention it there, and it didn't show it on the map, maybe it's a forbidden place, it's better not to trespass, and when Grandma Empty comes again, let her know first. β
"Good!" replied Tian Xian, but to Eve, "then the dinner will be simpler." β
"But stay longer, maybe we'll come back late, and we'll be hungry by then." β
The corners of Ling's eyes twitched, "You two stupid! Listen to me carefully!"
Tian Xian turned his head, "I'm in the front, Sister Eve's palace, Ling! β
"Okay!" replied Eve without hesitation.
"You ......" Ling Qi couldn't laugh or cry.
Tian Xian touched his chin and said, "Actually, I've always been puzzled, there seems to be something missing in this tower, if I guessed correctly, we found it this time!" (to be continued......)
