Become the Archbishop from Douluo

Chapter 85

Being matched up by Ning Rongrong, Qian Renxue and Leng Xiyue, who had no connection on the surface, also had a reasonable connection. After all, as the guest of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he naturally had a reason to contact him as the crown prince. .

So, after Qian Renxue inquired about what happened to the passers-by, she sent someone to hunt down the suspect who caused the trouble, and then invited Leng Xiyue: "Miss, I will be at Duke Linsen's castle tonight." Host a banquet for the nobles who are willing to come here for development, I wonder if Miss is interested in coming and joining our business?"

"Okay, but can I bring a few companions?" Leng Xiyue introduced Tianmeng and Xuanwu next to him: "Tianmeng, the soul sage of level 71 control system, is my brother; Xuanwu, level 32 A defense-type soul master, he can be regarded as a reliable junior of my brother's family."

"Hello, His Royal Highness." Tianmeng just nodded slightly, and didn't say much, and Xuanwu didn't even speak.

"Of course." Qian Renxue looked at Tianmeng and couldn't help being a little shocked.

This young man in his 20s is actually a strong soul saint?This is a bit too surprising.

But it's normal to think about it carefully, maybe it's because of the beauty, maybe the real age is forty or fifty.

"That's good. Tianmeng also has an apprentice in Xingdou Town. After we meet up with him, we must go to the banquet."

What Leng Xiyue was looking for was of course Oscar, and now that she had such an opportunity to let him meet Ning Rongrong earlier, she certainly wouldn't mind letting the pair meet first to make a good impression.

But this time it's hard to say who will chase who.

Qian Renxue asked an attendant at the side to hand over an invitation to Leng Xiyue, and then left on the grounds that she was busy with business.

Being able to see Qian Renxue here, Leng Xiyue's heart is surging, but after the night is quiet, the two will be able to meet again, and there is no rush now.

After finding Oscar according to the positions of the two legionnaires in the spirit net, Leng Xiyue changed him and Xuanwu into decent clothes, and she also changed into a beautiful dress, but Tianmeng has always been very particular about her clothes , The taste is also very high, so she doesn't need to worry about it.

After changing their clothes, the four of them went to the Duke's Castle in the center of Xingdou Town.

The owner of this castle is naturally the Contra who established Xingdou Town. In order to let the people here have a legal status, he accepted the canonization of the Tiandou Empire and became a duke, who has the power to build an army and control Xingdou Town and its surrounding lands. ownership.

Now the Duke is still alive, but he is very old and has disappeared from public view for nearly two years. If he hadn't posted an obituary and held a funeral, many people would think that the spiritual pillar of Xingdou Town has died.

Coming to the gate of the castle, Leng Xiyue handed over the invitation to the waiter at the gate.

"Hello, I am invited by His Royal Highness to come to the banquet. These are my friends."

The waiter glanced at it and quickly bowed to salute: "Dear guest, please come with me."

Following the waiter and stepping into the gate of the castle, I saw many spirit beast chariots and horses parked at the gate, and the level was not low. Only a famous family could afford such a car.

"Everyone, the banquet has not officially started yet. Please take a few distinguished guests around first. After the banquet starts, His Royal Highness will send someone to invite all the distinguished guests." The waiter said after entering the central castle.

Leng Xiyue took a glance and found that there were quite a lot of guests, about one or two hundred people.

Those who can get a share of this incident in Xingdou Town are all nobles with names and surnames in the entire empire. Some small families are all from the older generation to participate, and those like Qibao Glazed Tile Sect or lower The power is to send juniors and a housekeeper as an opportunity to exercise. Therefore, those middle-aged and elderly people want to revolve around these juniors.

After all, in front of several major sects, most of the rest can be counted as minor nobles, with huge differences in size.

Looking at this scene, Leng Xiyue felt her scalp go numb. She is not a social person, let alone this kind of occasion.

However, looking at the curious eyes of Oscar and Xuanwu, Leng Xiyue said to Tianmeng: "Tianmeng, you can bring them here to see the world, it's not bad to get used to this decadent high-class social life, I'll go outside and wander around."

Tianmeng didn't like this kind of occasion either, but since Leng Xiyue had already spoken, she could only nod her head: "Well, okay."

After parting with the three of them, Leng Xiyue went out and started strolling in the garden outside.

It is said that it is a garden, but in fact there are not too many changes. It seems that after the castle was built, part of the forest was intercepted, and then the walls and moats were built outside, and some flowers and plants were planted. Those who do not know how to grow The tall trees that have been around for a long time have not changed at all, and the roads are built around these trees.

It seems that the owner of this castle really likes the environment of Star Dou Forest.

By the way, Qian Renxue seemed to mention it earlier, the owner here seems to be called Lin Sen?That seems reasonable~
While secretly complaining, Leng Xiyue took a walk in this forest path. I have to say that although she had stayed in the forest for a long time before, when she calmed down, she felt the vicissitudes and purity of these ancient trees. In the clean air, an impetuous heart seemed to be purified and settled down.

After walking a few hundred steps, Leng Xiyue suddenly found a bench under a peach tree not far away, and an old man was sitting on it to take a nap, and the hustle and bustle of the outside world seemed to have nothing to do with him.

The old man's clothes were simple and rough, and he didn't have any servants around him, so Leng Xiyue guessed that he was probably a gardener or something, resting here.

At this time, it was the season of winter and spring, and the cold wind was icy cold. Leng Xiyue couldn't help but worry about the old man's health. After all, they all worked hard to beg for food.

Walking closer, he put on a piece of clothing for the old man, and then Leng Xiyue didn't bother him, and prepared to continue shopping.

Just a few steps away, a voice came from behind: "Please stay, little girl."

"Old man, are you awake? Sleeping in this kind of place, aren't you afraid of getting sick?"

Hearing Leng Xiyue's words, the old man was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: "Haha, it's an old bone, anyway, it's not too long to die, it's better to die under these trees than to die on the bed, it's considered A nice talk."

"To me, these trees are like brothers and sisters. I think you can't understand it at all, right? Haha."

Hearing this, Leng Xiyue immediately understood that the unattractive old man in front of her was probably the owner of this place, Duke Lin Sen.

But why is Mr. Lin not only not hosting this important banquet tonight, but also sleeping here with the cold wind?
To be honest, with Leng Xiyue's knowledge, she still doesn't pay much attention to a Contra-level figure, but the old man in front of her looks very pitiful, not to mention his children, he doesn't even have a loyal servant of his own. In the depths of this garden, people are like lonely old people, and Leng Xiyue has a lot of good feelings all of a sudden.

"I can understand that many people have a unique hobby. I have seen many people collect calligraphy and paintings, bug specimens, medals, and various coins in history, and they will not hesitate to lose their fortunes for this."

"And I think, old man, you should be more than that. You should have a unique feeling for this forest, right?"

"You're right." Lin Sen nodded, then raised his head, as if he had fallen into some kind of long-term memory: "Compared to animals, it is difficult for plants to develop intelligence, even if they can really become plant-type soul beasts." , and most of them have no ability to move, in this forest, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to grow, and what humans like most is these immobile, extremely weak spirit beasts, and they can be hunted casually as spirit rings."

"At the same time, other soul beasts also like to eat these plant-type soul beasts with a certain level of cultivation as nourishment for self-improvement. Even if they are well hidden, there is a risk of being affected by the fight and dying directly."

Leng Xiyue knows that plant-type soul beasts are indeed extremely rare. Obviously, plants reproduce and grow much faster than animals, but the proportion in the entire forest may not even reach 5.00%.

There are not many existences like the Blue Silver Emperor. After all, they are everywhere. As long as there are one or two plants in a certain area, they can be guaranteed to be immortal, while other plant-type soul beasts are at most a grass, a flower, and a tree. A tree or a vine, if it dies, it is really dead, and the higher the quality of the plant, the worse it will be if it becomes a soul beast.

Before Leng Xiyue could answer, Lin Sen continued: "My martial spirit is a pink flower named Acacia Heartbroken Red. This flower is extremely magical and has infinite functions. As a martial spirit, as long as the user has enough Obsession can make your cultivation grow rapidly."

"Similarly, if there is no obsession, then the cultivation should also stagnate. Therefore, I have already become Contra at the age of 60."

"As a plant-type spirit, I can perceive the thoughts of plant-type spirit beasts and communicate with them. I have met many plant-type spirit beasts with this ability, and I am also shocked by their tenacious vitality. Of course, most of them will Died quickly because of an accident."

"Later, I met a peach blossom demon, which was the peach tree behind me. It lived for a hundred years by relying on the characteristics of camouflage, and became a rare century-old soul beast of this generation. At the same time, it has its own thinking and will. There are not many soul beasts with thinking consciousness in this year."

"Then...it happened to be discovered by me who was passing by at that time."

"At that time, I was not even a soul master, because the lovesickness heartbroken red was not activated, so I could only come to this forest aimlessly to seek opportunities, and then I was chased by a monkey that had been around for decades. Peach Blossom Demon, save me."

"After chatting with her, I was fascinated by this persevering girl who is still aggressive even though her body is just an immobile tree. Before I knew it, my lovesickness blossomed."

"Since then, I, who was young and frivolous, have made plans. As long as I am strong enough, I will build a fortress here to protect her and give her a place to live in peace without fear, even if I live the longest But more than a hundred years."

"I come here to see her every year, and she also welcomes me very much. Every year when we meet, she will be as happy as a child and give me the peaches she has grown."

Speaking of this, Lin Sen showed a smile on his face, and with a smile, two lines of tears suddenly flowed down: "But I am one step late after all, when I have prepared enough resources and manpower, I can come here When I enclosed the land and built the city, I could only see her wreckage."

"There is no enemy, and it is even very clear, that is, a man-faced spider that has broken through a thousand years and a leopard with a similar level of cultivation are fighting here, not only breaking her in the middle, but also polluting the ground with violent toxins, killing her root system. The poison is completely withered, and there is no chance of bringing the dead back to life."

As Leng Xiyue listened, the sense of sight immediately came up.

There is nothing magnificent, and there are no dangers. Both the beginning and the ending are very flat, a flat encounter, and no thrilling ending.

But it is such a plain story that sounds particularly touching, and it is more touching than the original legend about Acacia Broken Heart.

"Xiaobai, can you save this peach blossom demon?" Leng Xiyue couldn't help but feel a little regretful when she heard this, and asked Xiaobai who was admiring the flowers.

Once the Peach Blossom Demon dies, there will be no hope for the old man's lovesickness heartbroken red. It is estimated that his cultivation will stagnate because of this. If the Peach Blossom Demon is still there, it is definitely not a problem for the old man to become a Title Douluo.

After all, Old Ju could become a Titled Douluo, so how could this Lovesick Heartbroken Red not be able to?

Unexpectedly, Xiaobai sighed this time: "I know what you think, but this time I will disappoint you. This peach blossom demon is not a tenacious life like the Blue Silver Emperor. If he dies, he is really dead. The cultivation base is less than a thousand years old, and the soul is probably dissipated for decades."

"Of course, it's not difficult to simply resurrect the peach tree itself. It can be done after the soul imprint of the Blue Silver Emperor recovers. It's equivalent to creating a new consciousness on this peach tree, but it's not the same as before. That's it."

Ugh.

The consciousness is no longer the same, so can it still be regarded as resurrection?The old man in front of him probably didn't have the experience to cultivate a relationship with a new Peach Blossom Demon again.

"Old man, let's be sad and change." Leng Xiyue had no choice but to comfort the Peach Blossom Demon if he couldn't be saved.

Who knows, Lin Sen suddenly smiled: "What's so sad, although the Peach Blossom Demon is dead, what I planted with her seeds is just an ordinary tree, but look, the other plants around here are growing How can I be unhappy living in such an environment?"

"The hunters in our Xingdou Town are all brave and skilled fighters. With them hunting down those warlike soul beasts, this forest area can be regarded as resting."

"Unfortunately, it won't be long before nine out of ten will be chopped off." Leng Xiyue thought to herself.

This piece of land is so fertile, it stands to reason that the most precious forest area here can be preserved after the expansion of the Star Wall, and the unique advantages here can be used to attract people to come here to develop planting, or to carry out sustainable logging. Such a large forest It is not a problem to support several 10 people in the district.

The original old hunters can also change jobs to become forest rangers to protect the forest land from being dug up by bandits, so that they can continue to live in Xingdou Town instead of leaving their hometown to go to other places.

But nobles are all profit-seeking, who cares if you, a commoner, live or die?Buy the ownership of the land, cut down all the old trees, send them out to sell for money, and then rent them out as agricultural land to local troublemakers. It won't take long before this place should be renamed Star Dou Great Plains.

The old man loves this forest so much, he will definitely not let those nobles mess around. But he is already dying, so no one cares what he thinks, now divide the cake, and when the Star Wall is built, people will almost deserve to die Well, at that time, we can do whatever we want.

Looking at this nostalgic old man in front of him who doesn't seem to have any city mansion, Leng Xiyue doesn't want to tell him these things. If he tells him, but the other party is unable to change, this is undoubtedly a kind of despair. It is better to carry such expectations until death , It can be regarded as a perfect end to the life of the Duke of Linsen.

At this moment, a bell rang suddenly from the main hall in the distance.

"Hehe, it looks like His Royal Highness's banquet is about to begin, little friend, let's go."

Leng Xiyue looked at Lin Sen, but found a playful expression on his face.

He didn't say much, just picked up the crutch that was put aside, and walked slowly towards his castle.
