Bulwark of Light

Chapter 623 Guidance of the Temple (6K)

Grand Duke Zhuxue's energy boat sailed above the night sky of Central City.

Jia Wei led his subordinates and stood in front of the watchtower, watching the boundless night clouds sweeping over the Broken Stars, bathed in faint starlight, the hemp robes of these Holy Inquisitors seemed to be coated with a faint silver light.

The word "brightness" doesn't just appear in the daytime.

Even if the sun returns to the ruins, there are still countless threads of light hanging down in this world.

And these radiances are the "source" of their belief power.

Seeing any ray of light in the world is like seeing the throne of God.

The holy inquisitors standing under the portholes felt peaceful and at ease in their hearts. They knew that even in Beizhou, the Lord God Throne was still with them.

"Master Zhuxue, long time no see...Your Excellency is still radiant."

Jia Wei is not one to say compliments.

For a "big knight" like him, he only needs to learn to hold a sharp sword and cut through obstacles.

Compliments are useless etiquette for the weak.

But at this moment, what he said to Zhu Xue sounded like "compliment".

This is not the case.

If you know the "past" of these two people, you will know that this is Jia Wei's heartfelt emotion... The relationship between Xizhou and Beizhou used to be very friendly, otherwise there would be no so-called Menglin marriage.

More than ten years ago, before Lin Su took on the name of "Zhuxue", she went to Zhongzhou and studied incognito for a period of time.

At that time, he was studying hard at the Holy Cross College in Central Continent.

The classmates in the same year were all nobles.

People from Central Continent are not the only ones who can enter the Academy of the Holy Cross, most of them come from all corners of the country, and many of them come from famous families. into this academy.

But this is not important.

The important thing is that Jia Wei in that year was also studying at Holy Cross College, and he and Zhu Xuenai were classmates.

The world only knows that Jia Wei is the "fourth-level strongest" knight of the Bright City, and after wearing the "Bright Armor", he crushes all opponents.

But they don't know.

Under that heavy armor, the real face of the great knight.

Before wearing the "red armor", Jia Wei covered his face... He used to attack Pluto 20 years ago in the Holy Judgment operation, and in that operation, although Guangming City declared victory to the outside world.

But in fact, the fighting situation is miserable.

I don't know how many holy judges have been deprived of their souls by Hades!
Of those who survived, none survived, and they were infected with nightmares, making it difficult to sleep at night.

Jia Wei, who was only 16 years old at the time, was the "lucky one" in the Holy Judgment. He was rescued by the God of Light and narrowly escaped with his life, but his entire face was polluted by the Styx...

Under the heavy armor shrouded in light, is a face full of darkness and ugliness.

So.

During the years of studying in Zhongzhou, everyone regarded this young man from Xizhou as "different" and refused to talk to him.

Jia Wei takes serving the light as his life philosophy.

He actually doesn't care about these "treatments", let alone the so-called "cold eyes"...

As a survivor who has experienced the battle of Pluto, from the moment he survived, he has only one purpose of living - to become the strongest, and then punish the evil spirits.

But there are always a few people who have different attitudes towards him.

Lin silk is one of them.

Because of the good relationship between the two continents, the two became "close friends" when they were studying.

It's just that after the completion of Zhongzhou's advanced training, Lin Su and Jia Wei went their separate ways. As the status and reputation of the two became prominent, the relationship between Guangming City and the Lin family became delicate. Gradually drifting away, under such circumstances, the friendship between Lin Su and Jia Wei gradually faded away like the evening wind.

If it weren't for the escape of the Goddess of Light.

The two have been dating for several years and have not sent a message.

"polite."

Lin Chou looked at her former classmate and said calmly, "You are the same as before, your armor is still the same."

Still cold.

Back then, Jia Wei was as cold as a knife.

He exudes a strong aura of "don't get close to strangers". You only need to take a look from a distance to know that there is a raging fire in this guy's heart, and he must be a person with extremely firm beliefs.

Even without the "Mingguang Armor", Jia Wei is still a cold person who makes strangers dare not approach him.

"I came to Central City to investigate the 'Meng Xiao' case thoroughly."

Jia Wei cut to the chase, turned around slowly, stopped looking at the starlight outside the porthole, and faced Lin Silk directly.

He slowly said: "Meng Xiao is not only the 'Blessed Son' of Guangming City, but also the hereditary 'Duke Zhenyue' of Beizhou. In terms of status, the Blessed Son and the Duke Zhenyue are both equal. important person."

"Yes."

Lin Silk asked: "The obituary of Guangming City is known across the continent. But if you really want to investigate the 'Meng Xiao case', you must have known on the way here that he violated the iron law of Beizhou's military discipline." , in the midst of a disaster, you have already shouldered the 'crime of defection'!"

Meng Xiao was directly in the disaster situation and summoned the God of Light to descend... This action directly destroyed the strategic "trust" relationship between the two continents in the Northwest!
Very simple reason-

If the God of Light wants to visit the Doru River, then the action he should take is to urgently convene a meeting of the Supreme Council to seek the opinion of the Queen, instead of directly visiting in real body!

If the God of Light breaks through the boundary between the two continents, he will directly destroy the ancient agreement of non-interference between the Gods!
Of course, if he called a meeting, the empress would directly refuse.

Guangming had already guessed the result, so he chose this way.

This time... luckily it ended in failure.

If it really succeeds, no one can guess what the events in the disaster will look like!

In fact, there should be a follow-up to the matter of "calling the throne of God", and the highest seat should warn and even deal with this kind of transgressive behavior, but the queen did not pursue it at all... because she knew very well that before the light acted, there had already been something wrong. arrange.

No matter how much the highest seat pursues, Guangming can shirk.

After all, this is a unilateral act of the "Son of Blessing". As a god, and a god who has come to failure, he can push the original situation to "temporary changes".

The highest seat, never engage in such meaningless debates.

So... it was the turn of the following people.

"..."

Jia Wei couldn't refute Lin Chou's words.

He just said in a peaceful voice: "If he is guilty, then he should be dealt with according to the law. He should be detained, then interrogated, and finally ruled, instead of just... dying in the Doru River."

Lin Su was also silent.

He is also very clear that it is not suitable for Beizhou to make any "justification" on this point.

Meng Xiao's death was a real fact, mainly because of the special circumstances at that time, and the speed of this guy's death was so fast, when the team leader Lu Zhe rushed over, he didn't even see his shadow.

It is estimated that... it has already melted into the Doru River.

"Sorry, from Beizhou's point of view, Meng Xiao is just missing." Lin Silk said softly, "The last time we contacted him was in front of the Black Snow Mountain. He took the initiative to cut off the communication with Osmond's main ship... …We are not responsible for what happens thereafter.”

Beizhou will not be responsible for Meng Xiao's death.

Unless...you come up with evidence.

This sentence sounds a bit hooligan, but what Lin Silk said is also true.

All of this was Meng Xiao's own fault.

"In the shrine in Guangming City, there is a plaque storing the soul of the 'Blessed Son'. We can detect Meng Xiao's life and death... He is indeed dead now, and he died in the disaster of the Doru River."

Jia Wei's voice was a little hoarse, and he murmured: "The Holy Inquisitor came to Beizhou this trip, in fact, he didn't want Central City to be directly responsible for it... We just want to find out the truth, if Meng Xiao really did it out of an 'accident' , then we have nothing to say."

"so?"

Lin Si raised her eyebrows.

"We hope that Her Majesty the Queen can grant certain 'privileges'. We want to go to the disaster area of ​​the Doru River and investigate the scene of the crime." Jia Wei slowly made a request, "Besides, we need a certain amount of 'independent handling of the case' Right', Beizhou needs to open certain authority to the Holy Inquisitor."

"Ah……"

Lin Chou looked at the holy inquisitors in front of him, and he felt that the scene in front of him was really ironic.

When I left the College of the Holy Cross, my young self would never have imagined that after so many years, meeting my "old friend" back then would be such a negotiating scene that would not budge.

Both sides are concentrated.

The Holy Inquisitor traveled thousands of miles and came to Central City just to "investigate the case".

The first step in investigating the case is naturally to obtain the Queen's permission.

If Her Majesty tells them to go, they have to go now.

Of course... the impact of this incident will also spread. After all, the explanation given by Beizhou Fang is that "Meng Xiao died of an accident." investigation?
"It's not that simple to enter the Duolu River." Zhu Xue said calmly, "Meng Xiao's 'behavior of asking God' has made Beizhou no longer trust the motive of the Holy Inquisitor..."

Jia Wei had been prepared for a long time, and he said again: "Every holy inquisitor I brought has absolutely clean spiritual seas... After they step into the Doru River, they will not take away the secrets of the Beizhou military. If they don't After discovering the clues of the Blessed Son, when they leave the disaster, they can accept the Beizhou military's "spiritual cleansing" to wash away all irrelevant memories."

"Da da da……"

Jia Wei waited patiently for a response.

Not far away, Zhu Xue sat down, tapped his fingertips lightly, and tapped on the long table slowly.

Lin Su wore a wireless communicator in one ear and fell into deep thought.

Not long after, there seemed to be a hoarse current coming from that end, as if someone was talking about something...

Then came the last sound.

"clatter."

Crisp sound of finalization.

Lin Su looked up at Jia Wei, and said softly, "Okay. Enter the Duolu River to investigate, right? I can agree to this condition."

……

……

"Zhuxue's energy boat has left the central city."

that night.

Chu Ling passed the news to Gu Shen.

As [Deep Sea] updates and iterations are getting faster and faster, the source code can no longer keep up with the update speed of the system.

Although Chu Ling cannot have the highest authority...but she can still easily mobilize a large amount of basic data in the deep water area.

Keeping an eye on Zhuxue's airship is equivalent to keeping an eye on the movements of these "Holy Inquisitors".

Gu Shen is practicing breathing method in the small courtyard.

He opened his eyes, and a stream of fire flashed in his pupils.

"Leaving the central city, we are going to the 'Doru River Disaster'!"

He knew very well what Chu Ling's message meant.

The preliminary negotiations between Grand Duke Zhuxue and Jia Wei have been completed... On the surface, Beizhou seems to have given in to Meng Xiao's case and agreed to allow the Holy Inquisitor to investigate in Heihe.

But Gu Shen has been to the second floor of the attic, he knows too well what a terrifying chess player the "Queen of Beizhou" is.

When the Bright Summoning was about to succeed, the Empress sat firmly in the attic.

What is the investigation of the mere Holy Inquisitor?
Beizhou, I want the Holy Inquisitor to investigate!
Once it is found to the end, there is no result... The Holy Inquisitor can only agree with Beizhou's so-called "unexpected" ending!

This is an upright conspiracy.

But this choice made Gu Shen doubtful... Jia Wei reached the negotiation immediately after boarding the airship. He originally thought that the Beizhou side would try their best to delay it.

At least, the Holy Inquisitor shouldn't be allowed to advance so quickly.

So decisive, it seems that he guessed the ending.

Is there a possibility that Her Majesty the Empress is so powerful that she can penetrate the thick fog in the second half of the "Styx River" and see the image at the bottom of the river?

Gu Shen felt a little panicked.

He was suddenly a little worried... Her Majesty the Queen had already seen through her identity as "Pluto".

But... this worry seems a bit redundant.

Now the Hanging Mountain courtyard is peaceful.

He is staying in Beizhou.

And stay well.

……

……

The Holy Inquisitor searched for seven days in the disaster of the Doru River!

In the past seven days, 43 holy inquisitors have traveled all over Heixue Mountain and searched all over Heihe... Unfortunately, they didn't even find Meng Xiao's ashes. The famous "Blessed Son" of Guangming City disappeared out of thin air.

On the contrary, on the Black Snow Mountain...they discovered some "unexpected gains".

Although this black snow mountain experienced a major impact, the mountain shook violently.

However, these Holy Inquisitors still threw out some "acquaintances" who were burned to ashes in the snow covered with an unknown number of layers... The bright aura of the Holy Inquisitors could not be concealed.

They silently collected these "ashes" and brought them back to Jia Wei.

"This is what Meng Xiao left behind when he 'invited God'."

Lu Zhe, the captain of the first team, followed the Holy Inquisitor into the calamity. This is the "new task" Zhu Xue arranged for him... As Beizhou's "fourth-order Xeon", he accompanied the " Honored Guest" Jia Wei, assisted in the investigation of Meng Xiao's case.

This can be regarded as a silent "check and balance", and it can also be regarded as a "anti-deterrence" in response to "deterrence".

The holy inquisitors looked at the ashes left by their comrades, their expressions did not fluctuate.

It is nothing to be burned to ashes by the Blessed Son.

The only regret is that they were not added... If more power from those who sacrificed their lives were added, perhaps the lord of the gods would have successfully descended at that time.

Lu Zhe is very aware of the inner activities of these guys, so he added just right: "I forgot to mention, there are still some 'replica body' residues in these ashes, this Black Snow Mountain can replicate the power of a superhuman, And produced fakes. When I passed by, I cleaned up these replicas... Well, if you don’t dislike it, the debris of these replicas can also be taken back and used as ashes. After all, they are all the same in theory. source, not much difference."

Jia Wei has nothing to do with Lu Zhe.

For the past few days, he has been observing the captain of the first team...

This is a monster like me who is deliberately in the current position. In a real fight, no one can take advantage of it. Although I have the "Mingguang Armor", it is a defensive thing after all.

The meaning of Lu Zhe's existence is to stick to himself like brown sugar, in case the holy inquisitors make some "unruly" actions.

After seven days of investigation.

The Holy Inquisitor has nothing to gain.

Lu Zhe accompanied Jia Wei on a trip to Heihe.

According to the information of Guangming City, the Doru River is very likely to be the "Styx River" left behind by Hades, and maybe there is still the resentment of the "Holy Inquisitor" buried in it, but this active knight has spent a lot of time He used more than one "Light Sensing Sealed Artifact" with extreme power, but he didn't find the slightest clue... Don't say "Holy Inquisitor", there is not even a single hair.

"Brother Jia, don't you also think...that's weird?"

Lu Zhe said with emotion: "We also searched around the Duolu River at the beginning, and it was as if Meng Xiao was burned to ashes and sprinkled into the Heihe River... he disappeared completely."

"Burned to ashes...sprinkled into the Black River..."

Jia Weihong's face was very ugly, he said coldly: "I saw the list of restart missions, your captain in Beizhou, but no one can do this!"

Lu Zhe shrugged.

Jia Wei suddenly stared at the captain of the first team... Theoretically speaking, it is true that there is no one.

Right in front of you, there is one.

"Don't look at me." Lu Zhe said indifferently: "My task is to 'catch Meng Xiao', and the Beizhou Court also wants to give him a trial... If he sees me, he might still be able to save his life."

Looking at the ashes of the Holy Inquisitor contained in the "wooden niche".

Jia Wei fell into deep thought.

When he set off in Xizhou, he knew that this investigation might not be an easy task. The holy inquisitors must do a good job of "returning without success", and now the investigation of the disaster situation in the Duolu River... It is enough to show that the current situation is infinitely close to the worst ending.

He did not obtain a shred of substantive evidence.

On the contrary, it was the "team ashes" discovered by Heixueshan, which confirmed the fact that Meng Xiao had violated Beizhou's iron law.

To make matters worse, Guangming City's intelligence on the "Duolu River" also needs to be reconsidered.

Because he didn't find any [doors] in the second half of the Doru River.

Maybe it was damaged, or maybe it was because of other unknown reasons... No matter what the reason is, the "Pluto Ruins" that the Lord God tried so hard to find, the clues were disconnected here...

The ashes in the wooden niche were not taken away.

With a ray of spirit, the great knight in red armor ignited the wooden niche again, and the embers of the bright breath in the ashes also burned together.

At the foot of the Black Snow Mountain, he crushed the blazing fire with all his might.

Jia Wei summoned the Holy Inquisitor and announced the end of the investigation: "The trip to the disaster... let's stop here."

"Next, return to Central City."

……

……

The investigation of the holy inquisitors in Beizhou has attracted the attention of many people.

The dignitaries of Central City encountered an "abrupt greeting" from the Holy Inquisitor at the dinner party of the Underground Research Institute.

This matter has been fermenting in the deep water area these days.

The extraordinary people of Beizhou feel disgusted and angry from the bottom of their hearts at the arrival of the "Holy Inquisitor".

Her Majesty has won the battle.

Under the pretense of "celebration", these people are actually investigating the case. There is no doubt that they suspect that someone in Beizhou has killed the blessed son of Guangming City.

From their point of view...the so-called Blessed Son is actually something that "eats the inside out". The shock wave brought by the "traveler" died in the Doru River. In any case, Beizhou should not be "blamed" for this kind of thing.

Therefore, Jia Wei's act of leading people to investigate the case suffered a lot of reviling in the [Deep Water Area] in just a few days!

The pressure on the Holy Inquisitor to investigate the case increased again.

After Jia Wei left the "Doru River", he also immediately received "concern and greetings" from the big figures in Guangming City. Qualitative evidence of Beizhou murders, and whatnot...

But it's a pity.

After he fed back the fruitless "investigation results" of this time, those concerned bigwigs were disappointed.

Even Jia Wei himself began to doubt.

Regarding the case file investigation of Blessed Son... Is it necessary to continue?

There are no remains, no relics, not even a little bit of light left behind, everything has disappeared into the Heihe... Even if the Lord God came to personally, I am afraid that there is no evidence...

In fact, the next "investigation" can still be carried out, because Guangming City still has a long list of people.

These lists are all superhumans who are "closely related" to Meng Xiao.

Visit one by one, maybe there will be a breakthrough.

It's just that... the resistance facing the Holy Inquisitor in Beizhou is getting bigger and bigger.

Just when Jia Wei got stuck in the mud, he received a very important guiding message in his spiritual world.

This message comes from the 【Shrine】in Guangming City.

The Son of Blessing, with his followers, stepped into the calamity of the Duolu River and summoned the God of Light, which was the plan of the [Sacred Temple].

If you go back a step further——

Then a few years ago, Meng Xiao went to Beizhou as the only son of Grand Duke Zhenyue to inherit his father's title, family business, power... It was also the arrangement of the [Holy Temple]. Then [Sacred Temple] is the gaze and will of Lord God.

The light of the [Shenzhen] can fall on every corner of Wuzhou.

"Among the relics of the former Grand Duke Zhenyue that Meng Xiao inherited, there is a 'bracelet', which is an extremely important 'sealed item' to Guangming City."

[Shrine] guidance is very simple.

"Jia Wei, within a short distance, you only need to activate the 'bracelet' and arouse the light breath with all your strength, and then you can mentally sense the existence of that bracelet... Follow the list of characters and visit them one by one. As long as you can find the 'bracelet', The murderer who killed Meng Xiao has been found."
