Bulwark of Light

Chapter 486 Heroes

After Zou Hai closed the door.

Alone, sitting cross-legged on the loft bed, Gu Shen fell into deep thought.

"Strange sound?"

He shook his head, did not think much, and immersed himself in the practice. ·

……

……

The patrolling sentinel of Gubao Fortress, walking under the huge wall.

Night Breeze kills.

When the two sentries reached the attic area, a glow flashed around the corner.

"My lord adjutant."

The two sentries stood at attention and saluted.

"Ah."

Zou Hai, who left from Gu Shen's loft, nodded, and softly ordered: "The front is where Mr. Gu is resting. Tonight, you will focus on patrolling here... If you find anything unusual, please notify me as soon as possible."

"Strange..."

Looking at each other, the two patrol soldiers showed subtle expressions of understanding.

They really know the meaning of this word very well.

"He is different from the visitors from the Central City." Zou Hai frowned, and said in a deep voice, "This is the distinguished guest brought by Lord [Apostle] Ajar. If you get injured in Gubao, Her Majesty the Queen will come down to punish you... We are responsible!"

The two sentinels immediately straightened their backs and replied loudly: "...Yes!"

Zou Hai rubbed his eyebrows, sighed softly, and gradually walked away.

He murmured: "I hope my lord won't let that thing out tonight..."

The two sentries looked at each other.

They continued to patrol, patrolling around the attic while communicating with spiritual power.

"That Gu...does it deserve so much attention?"

"This guy has amazing guts. Putting on a Tier [-] source armor, he dares to stick to the source energy cannon..." The patrolling sentry said frankly: "It doesn't look like a softie to do such a thing."

"So-so, it doesn't mean anything..."

The spiritual communication came to an abrupt end.

The two sentinels stood at attention with tense expressions, and looked at the "ghost figure" who appeared before them at some unknown time... Mr. Zou Hai, who had just left for a short time, unexpectedly reappeared in front of them.

"Master Adjutant!"

The scene reappears.

The two spoke respectfully...but Zou Hai just glanced at them coldly and didn't say anything.

"Adjutant, what instructions do you have?"

Facing two sentinels standing at attention.

Zou Hai waved his hand, signaling them to leave quickly.

Just set the attic area as a key patrol point, and now let them leave... The two patrolmen looked confused, then obediently accepted the order, and walked away from the attic.

A bitter mental pressure has been hanging over the two of them.

It didn't dissipate slowly until it was far away from the attic.

"Old beam..."

The silent sentinel looked around and after confirming that there was no one there, he turned his head and asked with lingering fear: "Do you think that the adjutant just now... is a bit strange?"

……

……

"boom."

There was a soft knock on the door.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed in the attic, Gu Shen slowly opened his eyes.

Out of habit.

Gu Shen subconsciously let out a wisp of energy.

However, at the moment when Blazing Fire opened his eyes, a ray of scorching streaks burst out from the golden hoop, which suppressed him tightly... After receiving the fortune bestowed by the "God of War", Gu Shen has not been there for a long time. Use your mental power to explore the surrounding environment.

But actually, he's used to it.

If there is no battle, even if you can't use your mental power, it won't have much impact.

Gu Shen frowned.

He remembered the warning that Adjutant Zou had given before he left.

【"You may hear some strange noises outside the door, but please do not open the door anyway."】

"Chu Ling, what's outside the door?"

Gu Shen spoke softly.

"The [Sky Eye] of Gubao Fortress is protected by special authority, and I can't fully mobilize it yet." Chu Ling gave a regretful reply.

"Is that so..."

Gu Shen smiled.

He was still sitting cross-legged on the bed, not moving at all, and he didn't pay any attention to the voice.

But then, there was a second knock on the door.

"Bang bang..."

This time, the knock on the door became much softer.

Along with it, there was a familiar voice with a gentle voice.

"Gu Shen, it's me, Zou Hai."

Gu Shen squinted his eyes, walked down from the bed, looked through the peephole in front of the door, and saw a tall figure hidden in the darkness, the face revealed was as rough as a beast.

"Adjutant Zou" went and returned.

Gu Shen laughed softly.

He opened the door, without looking back, went straight back to the bed, and sat cross-legged again.

And "Adjutant Zou" just stood outside the door, looking at the room calmly.

"Why are you standing still?"

Gu Shen closed his eyes, and asked casually: "The door is open, why don't you go in?"

And "Adjutant Zou", who was standing quietly at the door, waited and watched for a few seconds before slowly entering the room.

The moment you enter the house.

"Click" sound!
The door was closed.

Gu Shen is still in the meditating posture with his eyes closed.

He laughed softly: "No wonder Zou Hai told me not to open the door when you hear any sound... Who would have thought that there was such a strange 'supernatural beast' in Gubao Fortress that could Perform hypnosis by yourself?"

"Roar……"

Zou Hai, who was wearing a big cloak, let out a deep roar from his throat.

He held out a big hand.

"Tear!"

He tore off the big cloak and threw it towards Gu Shen. The distance between the two was less than ten meters. It came out from the ground, and the floor of the wooden attic was crushed by this kick!
Sawdust splattered!

And the moment Gu Shen opened his eyes, the black cloak that blocked his vision was torn apart by the strong wind, revealing a ferocious dog face with intertwined fangs and the sound of thunder!

"boom--"

This vicious dog came straight towards Gu Shen.

The entire attic seemed to be filled with strong wind and thunder!

The young man sitting on the bed was about to be thrown down by that giant dog almost in an instant...

And the next moment.

Between Gu Shen's brows, a ray of "vertical pupils" opened with difficulty.

"Clang clang clang-"

The golden hoop emerged.

Dozens of streamers burst out from the fire pattern in an instant.

"Anyway... it can be regarded as a ray of 'fiery power'..."

Gu Shen wiped two fingers between the eyebrows and pupils.

At his fingertips, there was a faint flame.

"However, it is enough to interpret dreams!"

The strong wind and thunder tore through the entire attic, and a ray of flames was mixed between a person and a dog. Gu Shen resisted the majestic power, and stretched out two fingers with a relaxed expression. The extinguished flame was just pressed between the giant dog's eyebrows by him.

"Roar--"

The angry roar was concussive.

And the entire attic returned to calm like the surface of water.

Huge giant dogs like hills are fake.

The walls of the attic were not damaged, and even the broken boards were intact.

All of this is just a dream. It is not a superhuman who casts the dream, but a "Labrador" who has awakened supernatural power. Caught his head, and then pressed it to the ground!
"Boom" sound.

This time, the muffled sound was real.

……

……

"Why are you two here?"

With a gloomy expression, Zou Hai stared at the two sentinels who he had arranged to patrol near the attic.

The two sentinels looked blank.

"us……"

Lao Shu felt aggrieved, and said, "Didn't you tell us to get out of here?"

"...?"

Adjutant Zou thumped in his heart, realizing something was wrong.

After the two sentinels told of their previous encounter, he was shocked.

The dog raised by Mrs. Lin Lin just awakened the "spiritual power" before, and was able to use the spirit to cause a certain amount of interference when fighting... Now this is, can it shape dreams? !
"Oops……"

Adjutant Zou's expression was very ugly.

He is very clear about what that vicious dog has done in Gubao Fortress. Ever since Grand Duke Zhuxue has been sending guests from the Central City, this vicious dog has had something to do. "It can be hung all over the wall.

For those uninvited guests, Lord Lin Lin's favorite thing to do is to close the door and let the dogs go.

Then... lick people.

This big dog has quite powerful "spiritual abilities", and its only hobby is to evenly smear its own saliva on a person's body. It is said that the Sentinel of the Central City who was alone in the room with it received a psychiatrist's advice after returning to the city. specialized treatment.

This has also led to the fact that in recent years, the sentries in the central city have been reluctant to go to Gubao.

Even though, that was the order of Grand Duke Zhuxue.

He rushed to Gubao as a "guest", and was licked by a vicious dog to create a psychological shadow, and finally left in embarrassment.

This is a nightmare that cannot be escaped at all... In the beginning, there were sentries trying to crack this trick, but unfortunately, none of them were the opponent of this vicious dog.

Zou Hai immediately looked at the attic where Gu Shen was...

At this moment, a dull loud noise penetrated the attic and slowly oscillated.

This sound is not small.

……

……

When Zou Hai was anxious and rushed to the attic.

He never expected that he would see such a picture:
Gu Shen closed his eyes, sitting on the bed, apparently practicing breathing techniques... and behind him, a Labrador dog stood upright, clasped its paws, and carefully beat his shoulders.

The expression of this Labrador is no different from that of a human.

At this moment, its eyes are full of fear, flattery, and flattery.

Zou Hai was completely silent.

This scene is actually not unfamiliar to him. After awakening his spiritual power, this big dog often squeezes Lord Lin Lin's shoulders and beats his legs, trying his best to please...

what just happened? !

Zou Hai rubbed his eyebrows, he realized that the attic was completely quiet at the moment, and apart from the loud noise before, there seemed to be no other movement.

That muffled sound...

Corresponding to the movement and movement, there is a large pit in front of the bed in the attic, and dog hair falling all over the floor.

Ok.

What happened is already clear at a glance.

"Mr. Gu..."

Zou Hai has never found it so difficult to speak up.

He looked very embarrassed.

"Hmm... Adjutant Zou, are you here again?"

Gu Shen slowly opened his eyes and smiled.

He politely showed an attitude of all ears.

And the word "you" is very essence.

"This is... Lord Lin Lin's dog." Zou Hai said with a headache, "Master Commodore usually keeps it outside. This dog has a bad character and is very vicious."

Seeing the obsequious expression of the Labrador sticking out its tongue and wagging its tail, Zou Hai couldn't speak anymore.

He sighed and asked with a wry smile, "Are you not injured?"

"what……"

Gu Shen cooperatively showed a look of sudden realization, and said with a smile: "I see... But I don't think it looks like a vicious dog. It does the work of pushing back and shoulders very quickly."

Zou Hai glared at Labrador.

The latter whimpered aggrievedly, but dared not stop beating his shoulders.

"All right……"

Gu Shen patted "Vicious Dog" on the head lightly, and the latter ended the performance with relief. Finally, under Gu Shen's light pat, he let out a relaxed and comfortable low growl with exaggerated acting skills.

"Let's go back."

Gu Shen said these three words meaningfully.

The big dog jumped behind Adjutant Zou, not daring to move.

"Adjutant Zou, thank Brigadier General Lin Lin for me. The welcome ceremony at Gubao is really special." Gu Shen smiled and said: "This is the first time I have seen other than human beings who have awakened 'supernatural power'." Creature."

Zou Hai looked helpless, and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, on behalf of Brigadier General Lin Lin, I apologize for what happened to you tonight. We will take good care of this vicious dog."

……

……

"Wang Wang!"

"Wang Wang Wang!!"

"Wang!!!"

The sound of the dog barking in the study was interrupted by an impatient slap. The thick-skinned Labrador retrieved its neck, curled up in a corner, and rubbed its paws.

Zou Hai stood aside with a complicated expression, silently listening to the "encrypted voice".

This vicious dog has already awakened its spiritual power, and actually already has a general understanding of human writing and language.

In the case of using "spiritual power", some messages can be sent.

So... the dog language just now is actually effective communication.

This is complaining.

"What are you barking at?"

The young Brigadier General was furious, patted the long table, and scolded: "How big is the dog, can't you save me some snacks?"

The Labrador let out a grievous whimper.

Lin Lin squeezed the scrap letter paper on the table into a ball, slammed it heavily on Niu Niu's forehead, and said viciously: "Running to provoke the other party for no reason, it's fine to win the battle, and I was educated instead... shame on you We're at grandma's house!"

The vicious dog raised its head and let out a woof in confusion.

Lin Lin was even angrier: "Idiot, this is a proverb! Of course my grandma's house is Beizhou, not Dongzhou!"

The Labrador who shrank into a ball did not dare to make a sound.

"My lord...don't need to get angry."

Zou Hai smiled wryly.

He said sincerely: "I think that little Mr. Gu doesn't seem to have any intention of pursuing this matter... Speaking of which, he is really different from the previous visitors."

Lin Lin fell into silence.

He was writing a long letter, and he did not know how many times he started to write it, and then discarded it a few times... Before he learned of this, most of his thoughts were immersed in the letter.

The letter begins:

"To my sister whom I haven't seen for a long time."

At this moment, Lin Lin completely gave up on writing the letter. Anyway, this letter... can't be finished tonight.

He raised his head and looked at Zou Hai's face in memory under the candlelight.

Lin Lin lit a cigarette, exhaled lightly, and pulled his thoughts back to reality: "What kind of person do you think that young man surnamed Gu is?"

Zou Hai thought for a long time, then slowly said: "What this subordinate said is just my own opinion. Although we don't spend much time together, this subordinate feels that this is a reliable person."

"reliable?"

Lin Lin chuckled. Having worked with Zou Hai for so long, he knew the character of his adjutant too well.

This was the first time I heard such a high evaluation from Zou Haikou.

To know.

Gu Shen has just arrived at Gubao, and it has only been two hours.

The word reliable... is even more difficult to say.

"After the elite team of 'Maze 38' set off, my subordinates have always had an ominous premonition in their hearts." Zou Hai said softly, and he said sincerely: "That ominous premonition has been lingering in my heart. The elite team is completely destroyed. Hong Zhong Returning, until today, the ominousness has never dissipated... This feeling is like..."

"Something's about to collapse."

Adjutant Zou was silent for a while, and said: "Maybe it was an illusion, but after seeing that little Mr. Gu, the uneasiness gradually dissipated..."

Lin Lin listened quietly.

He didn't interrupt Zou Hai's speech, but after he finished speaking, he said meaningfully: "His strength is only the seventh layer of the deep sea."

After Gu Shen arrived at Gubao Fortress, the person in charge of receiving him was Zou Hai.

With such an arrangement, it is naturally not just a simple chat.

"Yes."

Zou Hai frowned slightly, recalling the scenes of getting along with each other, he said with some uncertainty: "Actually, the adults should have seen it too? When avoiding [Origin Cannon]...his strength has been exposed, this is The level of the seventh layer of the deep sea."

That firework show.

The high-level transcendent has already seen Gu Shen's strength.

Although he staged a "thrilling" face-to-face flight,... the source quality left in the air, as well as the third-order source armor that was manageable, all proved Gu Shen's source quality level.

Deep water area, seventh floor.

"It's just that the subordinates feel that Gu Shen is hiding something, and this feeling will always surface when they look at him."

"Wang!"

Labrador echoed strongly.

"To shut up."

Lin Lin rewarded it with a brain break, and continued to ask: "Look at each other?"

"That's right, when we looked at each other, I felt that there was a deep sea hidden in this young man's eyes."

Zou Hai murmured: "Looking at him is actually a very contradictory feeling. I seem to see both light and darkness. I speculate that this is the influence of mental power. His mental power may exceed The seventh layer of the deep sea."

"His ability [Blazing] is an S-level spiritual force."

Lin Lin squinted his eyes, smoked all the butts of the cigarette, pressed it in the ashtray, and said slowly: "Remember CN021, Nagano in Dongzhou is not a greenhouse, and a genius who can make such a reputation in Nagano has real strength Character... This young man is likely to be a freak who is extremely good at mental power."

"You mean, Gu Shen's spiritual power is likely to exceed the current level... on the eighth floor?"

Zou Hai looked a little dazed, and he murmured: "If that's the case, he is worthy of the title of 'S-Class'..."

Transcendents who have practiced to the third stage will know how difficult it is to practice spiritually at this stage.

To be able to maintain the parity with one's own extraordinary strength is to be a top genius!

As for more than a big realm... that is definitely a character of the evildoer level.

A transcendent person who can achieve this level is destined to have a bright path of practice. Due to the extremely stable spirit, the upper limit of combat power of these people is also higher. They can develop the higher potential of the sealed item and realize the unimaginable "Cross-border killing"!
"My lord, tomorrow is Hong Zhong's 'spiritual appraisal'."

Zou Hai said softly: "Spiritual transcendents have always been a scarce resource, and the appraisers in our fortress have only the eighth level of mental power. I think it would be better for Gu Shen to conduct the appraisal directly?"

"There's no need to bother him with such a small matter as a mental appraisal. Hong Zhong's mental power level is probably around the seventh floor. Our spiritual superhumans are enough to complete this appraisal."

Lin Lin said in a soft voice: "Gu Shen came all the way to Gubao. First, he was shot in the face by the energy cannon, and then he was knocked on the door by a vicious dog in the middle of the night... Is it appropriate for us to use this kind of thing to send him tomorrow? ?”

Zou Hai was startled.

He did not expect that the brigadier general would have such an attitude.

At first, he thought... Lin Lin didn't like this visitor from Dongzhou.

"After all, Ajar personally brought the guests, and he also showed the courage to fight against the energy cannon. He repeatedly made things difficult for such a young man, and the rumor spread that he would have a bad reputation for Beizhou..."

Lin Lin stood up, pushed open the window, breathed in the bitter snow wind, and said softly: "He came to Gubao probably because of the sawdust of the cane whose information is unknown, and the truth will be revealed when the mental appraisal is completed tomorrow. "

……

……

"Mr. Gu."

Early the next morning.

Adjutant Zou knocked on Gu Shen's door.

After Gu Shen opened the door, looking at the dog Zou Hai was leading, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Adjutant Zou, there's no need for this... I can tell who is a human and who is a dog."

Zou Hai was a little embarrassed.

He said sincerely: "Master Lin Lin sincerely apologizes for what happened last night. This vicious dog has already been disciplined. He came to the door again this morning to reiterate his apology."

"Woooooooo..."

That Labrador is full of bags.

It can be seen that he was disciplined severely.

Gu Shen smiled.

Of course he wouldn't care about such small things... Last night, he walked under the huge wall with Zou Hai, because these people were stationed in Gubao, and the peaceful life of Wuzhou was possible. Gu Shen respected it very much, but In fact, to him, neither Lin Lin nor Zou Hai are just passers-by in life.

This time I came to Gubao, just to find the clues of the cane sawdust in the "maze quest".

After completing the task, he returned.

"I specially arranged Beizhou's breakfast for you and delivered it to the attic. You can taste it."

The combat environment at Küborg Fortress is harsh.

Preparing breakfast...is not easy.

However, the breakfast that Zou Hai brought was not a luxurious meal. It was a long loaf of bread hardened by the cold, spread with butter, and whey crumbs... together with a large jar of mellow milk tea in a thermos.

"This... um..."

Gu Shen tried to take a bite of the long piece of bread, he chewed it hard, it was hard for him to say the word delicious.

Zou Hai laughed loudly: "I can't chew this thing, right? It's something that men in Beizhou like to eat. It's made of flour, hops, and salt. We call it 'Leba'. It's easy to carry and can be stored for a long time. , the soldiers eat every day, and only when they are full can they train with strength!"

Beizhou, it's freezing cold.

Even superhumans need a lot of calories to maintain their daily lives.

This kind of food is indeed only eaten by Beizhou people.

After breakfast, the two set off together, heading for the rest room where Hong Zhong was.

On the road.

Zou Hai said again with a guilty expression, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu..."

This is not the first time he has apologized.

Gu Shen smiled and said, "You really don't need to worry about what happened last night."

"Actually, there is one more thing."

Adjutant Zou said: "Today is the day for 'Hong Zhong''s mental appraisal. I told Lord Lin Lin last night that maybe it would be better if you personally appraised it... It's just that the Lord thinks it's not suitable for hospitality."

Gu Shen was taken aback for a moment, and understood what Zou Hai meant.

"Nothing, I'll just watch from the sidelines."

Zou Hai felt guilty because the Beizhou military had sent an invitation to him, but after arriving at Gubao... he had no place to play a role.

Gu Shen didn't care much about this matter.

It's just a simple "spiritual appraisal". The Beizhou Army can easily handle such trivial matters.

the most important is.

His spiritual power is still suppressed by the golden hoop.

It might be troublesome for him to appraise...

Gu Shen is not a person who has to take the lead in everything. It is best to be on the sidelines in this kind of thing.

"Mr. Gu..."

Zou Hai hesitated for a moment, then said: "My ability has endowed me with a strong intuition. For some reason, I always feel that this matter is not that simple...and you are a trustworthy person."

Gu Shen shook his head, and said softly, "Adjutant Zou praised you absurdly."

He's actually been very cautious.

Ajar invited himself to Beizhou... saying that it was under the guidance of Her Majesty the Empress.

But so far, nothing seems to be different.

It was peaceful.

I just don't know what will happen in the next mental appraisal.

……

……

As soon as the two arrived, they heard a commotion.

The convalescent room where Hong Zhong was located was surrounded by a dozen extraordinary beings in snow-white linen robes, all of whom wore a pale lizard epaulet.

white lizard.

The leading man pressed his swords and said softly, "Adjutant Zou, you are here."

"These people are...?"

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice.

"Second team of the Investigation Corps, the absolute elite and transcendent under the command of General White Lizard." Zou Hai said softly, "This man is Yuan Yuan, the deputy captain of the second team, and he is a very difficult character."

Zou Hai's expression remained unchanged, he took a step forward, and asked softly, "Vice Captain Yuan, what do you mean?"

Yuan Yuanping pressed his swords and spoke calmly, without any intention of retreating.

"I am under the order of the captain to protect the heroes in the mission 'Maze 38'."

hero……

Obviously, it was Hong Zhong who was lying in the hospital bed and was still in a semi-comatose state.

The man returns from a near-death quest.

Also brought back clues to the oasis.

It can indeed be called a "hero".

……

(PS: I originally wanted to add more tonight, but it was too long to break. This big chapter will be broken here first, and there will be a corresponding second half of the big chapter during the day tomorrow.)
