Bulwark of Light

Chapter 652 [New Era] Letter (End)

"What about that hapless bastard?"

Gu Shen got off the buggy.

Gu Nanfeng and his party were waiting not far away, and had just finished talking with Beizhou's senior management.

"Already asleep."

Gu Shen glanced back into the car, recalling the scene of the tomb ghost snoring like thunder, couldn't help but sighed, and said: "The matter of 'Traveler' had a great impact on him. It needs rest. However, if you want to decipher the ancient writings on the celestial sheath, I am afraid that you will have to choose another day."

Deciphering ancient texts is an extremely mentally exhausting task.

With a mental shock, no matter how talented Zuka Oni is, deciphering ancient texts... will be delayed.

"It doesn't matter." Gu Nanfeng nodded, "It's okay for others to be fine."

"The reconstruction of the iron wall will take some time."

Holding the wooden knife, Gu Nanfeng looked towards the tall tower not far behind, and said, "I will take Gu's family to station in the snow cage tower during this period of time, and be responsible for repairing the tundra prison."

"in addition……"

He said meaningfully: "The cooperation between Dongzhou and Beizhou is about to start."

Speaking of this, he cast a look, Luo Yu understood, and hurriedly led the others away.

In the snow, only Gu Nanfeng and Gu Shen were left.

"Your trip to Beizhou has caused quite a commotion."

Gu Nanfeng smiled and said: "No matter how big or small the sound from the central city is, we can hear it here... Madam was still asking me a few days ago, are you planning to come back? If you don't come back, I'm afraid Nagano All the important people will be uneasy, and some people are already speculating whether the empress bought you with the position of 'grand duke'."

"Don't worry..." Gu Shen also smiled: "If it's just the position of Grand Duke Beizhou, I'm afraid I can't be bribed."

After all, it has been several months since I came to Beizhou.

In fact, this time is not too long.

It's just that I really "coincidentally".

After arriving in Beizhou, big news happened one after another, especially the most shocking "traveler incident", which shocked the world of superhumans in the entire five continents——

"This time, the most important thing to go to Beizhou... has been done."

Gu Shen's voice was a little hoarse, "There are still some trivial matters left. After finishing, I will return to Nagano."

"Little Gu... the Dongzhou Council already knows about Mr. Shu."

Gu Nanfeng was silent for a while.

He let out a deep breath: "Someone said to hold a funeral for the 'Grand Adjudicator', but this proposal was rejected... The old man, together with President Zhou Wei, Mr. Shan, and the other heads of the five families, retained the current adjudication office." The position of the "Grand Adjudicator". Even Beizhou is willing to leave a door in the "Phi Yue City Fortress", how can we acquiesce, Mr. Shu and the others have encountered an accident?"

Gu Shen looked at Gu Nanfeng gratefully.

Retaining such a thing as the "Grand Adjudicator" is no small matter.

What Gu Nanfeng said just now was easy to say, and he mentioned Gu Qilin, Zhou Wei, and Mr. Shan. It seems that the big shots have reached an agreement, but in fact Gu Shen is very clear... To make this decision, Dongzhou There must have been a lot of controversy internally.

And Gu Nanfeng, who has taken all the "credit" from himself, must have contributed a lot in this turmoil.

"By the way, someone asked me to send you a letter."

before parting.

Gu Shen took out Meng Xizhou's letter.

Looking at the edge of the envelope that was burning with bright breath, Gu Nanfeng's expression became a little complicated. He stretched out his hand and took the thin letter paper, but it seemed as if he took over a heavy mountain...

Gu Shen was not interested in the content of the letter.

But he could tell that Gu Nanfeng's mood at the moment was mixed.

The breakdown of Lin Meng's marriage is already well known in Wuzhou.

Beizhou and Guangming City officially broke up. Through the breakup of the tundra prison, they began to try to build a new "cooperative relationship" with Dongzhou... For the Gu family, this is of course a good thing.

But behind these big events is the sacrifice of the Goddess of Light.

As a beneficiary thousands of miles away, Gu Nanfeng both hoped and didn't want these things to happen.

"The general trend is like a torrent, and fate cannot be controlled."

Gu Shen said in a low voice: "I have met Ms. Meng, she is very nice, I wish you... a good result."

"……thanks."

Gu Nanfeng accepted the letter.

He said softly: "Some things, it's better not to think too much about them. Destiny is so illusory to the extreme that even a 'powerhouse' like Mr. Gu Changzhi can't hold it in his hands... Over the years, Walking in Beizhou, tempering life and death, I just think about one sentence."

"Which sentence?" Gu Shen was curious.

Gu Nanfeng said softly, "But if you do good deeds, don't ask about your future."

……

……

The subsequent reconstruction of the iron wall of [Snow Cage] has nothing to do with Gu Shen.

The princes and generals who followed Ajiaer to witness the end of the "Traveler" could not really serve as "coolies" who built the iron wall. After completing the preliminary negotiations with the Gu family, Grand Duke Zhuxue took his cronies and stayed in the tundra.

Ajar started the main boat, ready to return to Central City.

The huge ship is currently hanging the traveler's body.

Other miniature airships are in a scattered shape, wrapping the big boat in the most central position.

"I can't believe it... this guy just died like this."

The head of the legion was driving the airship and kept it level with the head of the giant ship. Whenever she moved her head and saw the big guy exuding a burst of deathly silence, she felt an illusion of "unbelievable in a daze".

"It doesn't really matter whether it's dead or alive, does it?"

Gu Shen stared at the corpse and said, "What Beizhou needs is actually the 'fire seed'...the god-level power source that can support the soaring of the central city and surrounding cities."

Traveler is dead, but still exudes pressure.

All the princes and generals subconsciously kept as far away from this dead "god" as possible.

"Yes. What Beizhou needs is pure energy...but if it doesn't die, it will take a long time to peel off the 'fire'. Now the underground research institute can directly have a complete 'gospel box fragment'."

"Obviously, that's the best outcome."

"It's just that sometimes, I can't help but wonder... Is this big guy who seems to have no brains really a 'traveler'?"

The head of the legion said with emotion: "Because this victory came too easily."

"understand."

Gu Shen said: "I think so too..."

He couldn't help but think of Zuka Oni again.

The test in the off-road vehicle, although nothing was found.

But Gu Shen still kept an eye on it. He left a fiery "spiritual seed" on the tomb ghost. This seed did not have any negative effects, but only deposited a ray of his own spirit.

As long as Zuka Oni's spiritual sea changes.

You will notice it immediately.

And...he was not the only one who noticed Zuka Oni.

The two divine thrones are truly discerning "figures of the sky".

The insight of the seat of God can cover an entire continent.

The release of the traveler this time is obviously something after the two gods reached a consensus together——

Therefore, even if Gu Nanfeng and Zhu Xue didn't notice the strangeness of Toka Ghost, I'm afraid these two wouldn't miss it.

It's just that the way the god seat handles it doesn't have to be a "thunderstorm".

Gu Shen conservatively estimated that before he cast a dream on the ghost of the tomb, he might have been swept away countless times by divine thoughts.

……

……

Back in Beizhou, Gu Shen went to see the queen again.

The content of this interview was very simple.

He told what he had seen and heard in the lacquered stone, and confirmed that the queen had never heard any information about this "lacquered stone" from him in countless "reincarnations"...

This discovery is very interesting.

This shows that in the countless previous bracelet deduction... I didn't even get a chance to "peep".

Maybe it's because of tearing up the letter, or maybe it's because of other things, big and small, entangled with each other and implicated each other, forming an impact on this fate.

Among the thousands of collisions of causal threads, this "discovery" of great significance appeared.

"The traveler and Hades once left a curse on each other..."

When the queen heard the news, she was also shocked.

Soon she regained her composure.

This news may seem shocking, but in fact it doesn't have much effect... because these two are "dead people" who are certain.

Minghuo is in Gu Shen's hands.

The traveler's fire is in the queen's furnace.

The real importance of this message is that there was still an unknown second-half transaction between Pluto and Traveler back then.

What kind of deal... let these two play so big...

"Bai Shu and I have checked 'Takagami' a long time ago, and his mental state is normal."

"If all of this is a conspiracy, then until now, I haven't seen the harm this 'conspiracy' has done to Wuzhou... But now, that big guy died in the tundra, which is equivalent to sending the fire to my hands."

The queen frowned and said: "Under the guidance of fate, I have seen some of the future clearly, but there are still layers of fog. I think the reason why the traveler ran to the tundra this time is because of the 'Sky Sheath'. The stone The power emanating from the sword comes from the [Old World]... Maybe it was something important to travelers 600 years ago?"

After the fog, came an even bigger fog.

A person as powerful and confident as the empress would certainly not be afraid of "disaster", "unlucky", or what Gu Shen called "curse".

The Traveler's Spark is at hand.

She must hold it... At this moment, the body of the traveler has been thrown into the furnace reactor.

It won't be long before Central City will soar up!

……

……

Leave the Queen's Attic.

Gu Shen has one last thing left to do in Beizhou.

This event is called "Farewell".

During this trip to Beizhou, he met many friends... the members of the second team who lived and died together outside Gubao Fortress, and the captains who experienced the mission of restarting the Dolu River.

When the traveler dies, the fire is ignited, and the princes and generals will not stay in the central city for long.

They set off one after another, left here, returned to the fortress of Beizhou, the frontier, and lit the beacon on the huge wall.

Gu Shen didn't respond to those dignitaries in Central City who came to ask for an interview, and didn't even bother to say a word of politeness.

He stayed in Central City to bid farewell to these friends one by one.

Meet Beizhou, live and die together, comrades-in-arms.

These guys have already made an appointment to have a gathering in Gu Shen's Hanging Mountain courtyard.

Maybe it's because of the fusion of "Underworld Fire", or maybe it's the bewitching of the devil in the ruler... Gu Shen always felt that his blood was getting colder, and the separation of life and death seemed unable to touch his heartstrings.

This is not a good thing.

He hopes to keep these precious memories in the heart lake before he truly merges with "Underworld Fire" in the future.

Where there is gain, there must be loss.

But he doesn't want to lose his "emotion" and "temperature" in exchange for the spark that governs "life and death".

Before leaving, Fisher gave Gu Shen a token of honor from Deepscale City. This guy imitated the throne and drew up a beautifully crafted flat coat of arms, on which a blood-red shark was carved in relief.

Zhong Yuan gave a dagger, which is quite sharp. This is the best knife produced in Chashik Town. There is a thin layer of "purple silver" tempered and flowing on the edge of the knife. Users can adjust it according to their own needs. Perform Mithril replacement.

Lu Zhe gave a coin from the reign of the Empress, on which His Majesty personally engraved "To the Warrior". This coin symbolized the peace of Beizhou and was quite commemorative.

Gu Shen returned the salute one by one.

Men in Beizhou like to drink, so he gave away his few Shixing wine... This is a priceless wine, no matter who it is, it can get drunk.

Except for Gu Shen himself.

At last.

The small courtyard became deserted again, the princes and generals left, but Gu Shen did not leave.

He is still waiting for someone... Whether it is the maze mission, the storm in Gubao, or the bloody battle on the Doru River, that guy is not absent, he is the one who sacrificed his life at the forefront.

He is also the hidden watchman behind the scenes of the Beizhou royal family.

Lin Meng's marriage broke down, and Lin Lin's royal status was naturally suppressed... There are only a handful of people in Beizhou who know the true identity of the garrison of Gubao. He did not attend the party in the small courtyard, and many people felt that sorry.

After the reboot mission ended, Lin Lin disappeared.

This guy is the queen's younger brother. If he is willing to open the authority, then only the queen and Zhuxue in the entire Beizhou can know his position...

Until the end, Gu Shen didn't wait for Lin Lin's arrival.

But he waited for a handwritten letter.

This time, he is no longer the postman, but the recipient.

Ajar brought him Lin Lin's letters... In this [New Era] where the deep sea is fully connected, few people can use letters to communicate. This is something that has been eliminated by the times.

Gu Shen sat in front of the stone table, quietly reading the letter.

"Gu Shen, seeing words is like hearing words."

"When you read this letter, I have taken the airship, left the central city, and headed for Gubao... As I said when I came, I will not stay here. Although this line is bumpy, but in the end I still cashed in. promised."

"Thank you for the words you said to me on the giant wall. If you look at the world from another angle, you will find the 'truth' from another angle."

"Because of your words, I decided to come out for a walk."

"Then I found out that what you said was right. In this world, there are not only the blizzard and extinction of Gubao, but also other... more fucking things, such as the marriage of the royal family."

"There are thousands of prisons in this world, and to me, Gubao is definitely not one of them."

"So when I settled the family affairs in Central City, I couldn't wait to return home, and I didn't even say goodbye. Please forgive me... because I am like this to everyone. When I write this letter, I have already begun to miss Gu Fort snow, gunfire, and storm."

"Although I will be permanently stationed in Gubao in the future, I believe that we will meet in the end."

"—in the not-too-distant future."

Gu Shen read the letter silently.

In his mind, Chu Ling's soft voice sounded: "Part of the list of the Ancient Literature Society... Deciphered."

A fragmented network of names appeared before his eyes.

Gu Shen smiled lightly.

His gaze fell on the one pointing to Beizhou.

Flip the letter.

On the back of the letter, there is a small foreshadowing.

Here, Lin Lin wrote his signature and the purpose of this letter.

"Zero Paint Three."

"—Give me a 'key'."
