Bulwark of Light

Chapter 612

Gu Shen knew that the devil was always watching him.

However, he also has countermeasures.

After a short rest in the "Pure Land World", Gu Shen returned to the real world.

Had a relaxing experience.

At this moment, his tense spirit has improved a lot.

"drop--"

Gu Shen picked up the communicator and dialed a number.

……

……

"About the 'marriage' thing, what I said doesn't count..."

Zhu Xue looked at Lin Lin helplessly.

He said with a headache: "The task of restarting the disaster area of ​​the Doru River was successfully completed, and you really contributed a lot. But can you change your request?"

"Well."

Lin Lin thought for a while, and said: "I want to go back to Gubao, you can extend my residency, um...five years, ten years is fine."

"???"

Lin Su gritted his teeth and looked at his younger brother.

After winning the battle, make this request.

"What's so good about that ghostly place in Gubao?" Zhu Xue slapped the table heavily, "Can you think about it all day long?"

He was too clear about Lin Lin's plan.

To tear up the marriage contract and extend the residency period, these two requirements are basically the same thing!
If he really wanted to marry the Goddess of Light, Lin Lin's royal status would have to be exposed in advance. Under such circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to continue to serve in Gubao... This kid's attitude is so firm that Zhu Xue is a little suspicious.

Do you like Gubao too much, or hate Meng Xizhou too much?
"There's nothing good about Castle Gu." Lin Lin said calmly, "But it belongs to me, and I want to stay there. Is there any problem?"

"Meng Xizhou is in Central City now."

Zhu Xue was silent for two seconds, and asked earnestly: "How much do you hate this Goddess of Light? She has been waiting for you in Central City for half a month! Anyway, you want to meet again?!"

Lin Lin shrugged: "I won't meet her. In fact, my request is the same as hers, which is to dissolve Lin Meng's marriage. I'm afraid that if we contact you in private at this time, it will only increase your misunderstanding."

Very nice and crafty...

Zhu Xue was about to say something more when his communicator suddenly rang.

Glancing at the identity of the caller, Zhu Xue chose to connect.

"Mr. Gu."

Zhu Xue spoke in a low voice, the anger from the previous conversation with Lin Lin was gone, and she still smiled slightly, "Are you satisfied with the small courtyard in Hanging Mountain?"

Gu Shen called?
What's the matter... need to call Zhuxue?
When Lin Lin heard the title at the beginning, he raised his eyebrows and pricked up his ears with interest, only to hear laughter from the other side of the phone.

Zhu Xue glanced at her younger brother, snorted silently, and then turned on the speakerphone.

Gu Shen said sincerely: "There is something that needs to be troubled by the Grand Duke."

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Xue continued to smile.

"I heard that there are a lot of mithril materials in Beizhou. I would like to buy some high-quality mithril from you." Gu Shen got straight to the point without any politeness.

"High-quality mithril?"

Zhu Xue was slightly taken aback when he heard that, he had never thought of this request.

Things like Mithril are indeed special materials that are hard to come by in the extraordinary market. This is something that cannot be measured by "vulgar things". Certain dangerous sealed items above D-level need to be bought with "red silver". Storage is in progress.

It's just that "Mithril" is not that important to the real "big shot".

Because the sealed items they use have almost no risk of getting out of control, and they usually need to block the extraordinary source quality when performing tasks, the parliament and related organizations will also provide corresponding "mithril", and they don't need to collect it themselves.

Gu Shen wants Mithril, what's the use?

It's just that Zhu Xue didn't ask much, he knew very well that this was not something he should explore.

"No problem, how much high-quality Mithril do you want?"

Lin Su's voice was very refreshing.

He tapped the jade table lightly with his fingertips, the smile on his face never diminished.

Gu Shen, this little guy, is very talented and has a strong background, and he will become a great weapon in the future. If it is normal, what secret silver can't be obtained?It was only in Beizhou that he dialed his number... Finally, he had this opportunity, so he must agree first.

"I want... black silver..."

The voice on the other side of the phone pondered for a while.

When she heard the word "Black Silver", the smile on Lin Si's face stiffened a little.

However, Gu Shen didn't finish his sentence: "Can you get Mithril, which is of higher quality than Black Silver?"

"..."

If the person on the other side is not Gu Shen, then Zhu Xue thinks that this call must be maliciously pranking herself.

Black silver... the amount that is mined every year in the entire North Continent is only that small.

That's Mithril that can be used to seal quasi-S-rank sealed items!
When Gu Shen heard that Zhu Xue was silent, he actually knew it in his heart.

Heiyin, a giant like Mr. Shan, must carefully store his treasured objects. This kind of thing that can be used as an apology to Hades... must be very rare.

"Mr. Gu. If you want black silver... I still have some here."

Lin Silk smiled wryly, and said, "But if you want higher-quality mithril, it's really too difficult. That kind of 'mithril' is miraculous silver that has been smelted and blessed by the fire of the gods. I want to give it, but I can’t.”

I'm afraid I can't borrow this favor.

The only one with a higher quality than black silver is the silver of miracles?
Gu Shen felt a little headache, he glanced at the ruler of truth.

The deal he reached with the devil was that black silver would not be used for subsequent bans.

But in that transaction, he played a very low-level but very effective word game.

The use of black silver is not allowed, but it does not say that other mithril is not allowed.

It's just... Mithril, which is lower than black silver, may not be able to truly block the devil's prying eyes.

"sorry for disturbance."

Gu Shen apologized, "I'll ask other people."

Just when he was about to hang up—

"I have."

Lin Lin spoke.

"???" Lin Si looked at her younger brother in astonishment.

"Gu Shen—"

Lin Lin pulled up a chair and slowly sat opposite his elder brother. He laughed and said, "I happen to have a piece of 'silver of miracles' in my hand, and I can give it to you."

Take a little meal.

Lin Lin meaningfully added a condition: "But you have to owe my brother a favor."

Zhu Xue's expression was a little subtle.

He stared at his brother in surprise and anger.

How can anyone talk like this bastard?
Doesn't this show that he is a dignified Duke of Beizhou, a philistine and incompetent, and also likes to be greedy for petty gains?
"No problem." Gu Shen agreed straightforwardly, "Thank you, Grand Duke Zhuxue."

Zhuxue once again: "???"

The phone hangs up.

Gu Shen didn't even thank Lin Lin.

The two of them sang together and cooperated fluently, like a double reed, so that Zhu Xue felt that this was a drama that was colluded in advance, and she was the only audience kept in the dark.

"Very good." Lin Lin said calmly, "And you owe me a favor now."

"You know, what should I use to repay this favor..."

"Of course, you don't have to pay it back." Lin Lin stood up and said lightly, "But it's a pity... I know you too well. You are the kind of person who will get rashes all over your body if you owe even a penny to other people's bills." People who can't sleep."

It's been a long time since Lin Su gritted her teeth so angry.

Yes.

I am indeed that kind of mental cleanliness who would rather make people in the world owe me, and Hugh make me owe a penny, perhaps because he was born in the royal family of Beizhou, and his greatest joy when he was a child was collecting "favors".

And the most hated thing is naturally to owe favors to others.

"Hey, where did you get the 'miracle silver'?" Zhu Xue stood up and called Lin Lin who was about to leave.

"Generally speaking, the youngest one in the family can only pick up some toys in the corner to play with, isn't it?"

Lin Lin stamped his feet slightly, and said in a flaunting tone: "I picked up those 'silver of miracles' in the corner of the second floor of the attic. It's a pity that it's not very fun."

Mithril tempered in a furnace.

The top silver of order in the world.

In his mouth, it is a "not very fun" toy.

"You and I both know that the so-called 'silver of miracles' looks extremely precious in the eyes of ordinary people, but when the formation pattern on the second floor of the attic was just built, it was just a pile of 'waste dross' piled up in the corner that no one cares about .”

Lin Lin leaned against the door and smiled sarcastically: "Unfortunately, you were already a qualified nobleman at that time, and you wouldn't be like me, squatting in the corner picking up these 'waste dregs'...Brother, your Childhood is full of regrets."

"..." Grand Duke Zhuxue was speechless and could only remain silent.

Lin Lin turned and left.

Lin Su sat on the bench in the office, closed her eyes, and shook her head after a long while with a half-smile.

He opens the drawer.

From the thick pages of the book, a yellowed photo was taken out.

The photo is a group photo of three people and one dog.

It was the Queen's Castle more than ten years ago. The flower garden was neatly built, the new trees had just sprouted buds, and the pool beside it sprayed fine water.

It was Aunt Wen who was in her prime and prime of life who pressed the shutter to record this scene.

At that time, the young empress had no wind, snow or flames on her body. She just put her hands on the shoulders of the two young men, standing unpretentiously by the water spring, smiling with a warm spring breeze, as if she was all the light in the world.

The young Lin Si pressed her cane, wore a suit that didn't match her figure, tried her best to straighten her chest, and adjusted her tie, trying to look tall and strong, but it was just the opposite.

On the other side, Lin Lin, a young man in blue with a wooden sword in both hands and lazy dogs around his feet, curled his lips, not concealing his contempt for Lin Si next to him. He raised a middle finger nonchalantly.

This doesn't look like a group photo of the three of Beizhou's royal Lin family.

It's more like a group photo of thousands of families, childish, immature, and a little cute.

Lin silk rubbed her fingertips over the yellowed photo...

The smile on his face became blurred.

That midsummer night, the old friend was like a dream like a firefly.

Now the old dream is still there, Liuying is gone.

The people in the painting have all changed their appearance, more or less, stained with a layer of wind and frost.
