My messenger is a little fox

The old man looked at Li Yu and the little fox again and asked, "I wonder if you know His Highness Zhong Wuyan, King of Yannan?"

Li Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "His Royal Highness Zhong Wuyan once led us in an operation. Is it possible that I am also on the list?"

"That's it! If I hadn't heard that you killed the third-level Wind-Splitting Demon Eagle with one sword, I wouldn't have believed it."

The old man drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, looked at Li Yu with a half-smile and said: "His Royal Highness Zhong Wuyan strongly recommends you to enter the list of heroes. Although you are only at the bottom of the four heroes, it has attracted many people's dissatisfaction. However, your whereabouts are erratic, and those who want to step on you are not satisfied." The people above you can't find you, so they slander you for wasting your reputation, but His Highness Zhong Wuyan has always refused to remove you from the list, and the new honorary professor Fu Honglian also supports you to have a place on the list."

Fu Honglian, the white-haired woman she met on an uninhabited island while escaping from the sea tribe and the men in black, didn’t expect that she went to the Royal Spiritual Master Academy to become an honorary professor. It seems that some people still remember her after two years of absence. Own.

Li Yu chuckled and said: "It seems that I have become a favorite in the eyes of some people. Do you think I should keep a lower profile after I return?"

The old man laughed loudly, filled another bowl of wine for himself and said: "If I didn't know that you have the ability to kill the Wind-Splitting Demon Eagle with a sword, I would advise you to be careful. As for now? It's better for young people to be more cheerful. .”

Li Yu also laughed and said, "What about the other masters on the list?"

"The first five have all advanced to the king level. Even if I don't mention you, except for you who is tenth, there are only four left." The old man took a few bites of meat and drank a large sip of wine. "The sixth one is Luo Yutong, the saint of the demon sect, is naturally friendly to water spirits, and her spirit is the elemental water spirit, so she is extremely powerful; the seventh is Han Yan, a master of the Ministry of Punishment, and her spirit is the ancient mythical beast Phoenix. It is said that the phoenix has already experienced many experiences in this person's hands. Six transformations are enough to be comparable to ordinary kings; the eighth place is the genius Lu Tianlin who takes over from Qinglong, the leader of the Four Holy Envoys of the Demon Sect. Ling Yimu Qinglong is still suppressing his cultivation, but he may advance at any time. King level; the ninth is the prince Zhentai Mingyuan from the Northern Sea Divine Luo Kingdom who came to the Jin Dynasty for exchanges, and his spirit is the ancient divine beast Kui Niu, who is currently in his sixth molt."

Hearing the news about Han Yan again after two years, Li Yu felt a little emotional. That boy was worthy of being the protagonist. With a rough background, he had risen to a rare master among the younger generation in three years. This was both The influence of the ancient mythical beast Phoenix is ​​also related to its qualifications and incredible fortunes. Otherwise, why would a group of people from wealthy families be trampled under its feet?

He remembered that in "Spirit Ruins", there were about ten young people in this generation who had the spirit of ancient mythical beasts, many of whom were cultivated by big forces. only……

"So it seems that I am the weakest persimmon!" Li Yu said with a wry smile and took a sip of wine. After all the calculations, he seemed to be the weakest. No wonder so many people wanted to find him. Although the nine-tailed sky fox is an ancient spiritual beast and is extremely rare outside, in that circle, this level is not uncommon even if it is not bad.

Ah Li stopped eating meat, raised her little head and waved her little paws, "Woooo" in protest, which meant that I was very strong.

The old man laughed dumbly, "Don't think you are weak. You are not as clear as your own master. Although I am not very strong, my eyes have seen some things in the world. You can kill the Wind-Splitting Demon Eagle with just one sword of yours." Your strength qualifies you for a place on the Heroic List.”

"Mr. Liu, praise me!" Li Yu toasted the old man again and said thoughtfully: "To be honest with Mr. Liu, Han Yan is my friend. I haven't seen him for two years. I wonder if he has any deeds. ?”

The old man laughed: "Haha, I know you are not a simple boy. Although Han Yan is temporarily ranked seventh, in terms of potential, he is enough to be ranked among the top three in the hero list, and he is very likely to achieve the emperor level in the future."

The old man seemed to be very concerned about Han Yan's affairs. He talked about how to hoe out traitors in Luzhou, thwart the plot of the poisonous prince Wang Qi, kill the Demon Sect's king-level spiritual master Du Long Zhenren, and the Royal Spiritual Master Academy's brutal beating of the second generation ancestor of the family, etc. Seven or eight pieces.

Li Yu silently calculated the time corresponding to the event in his heart. According to the progress of the original work, he would probably have reached the Furnace City chapter. There was something Li Yu wanted to get there, and he might be able to snatch it away during the chaos. By the way, let’s take a look at how far Han Yan has grown, who he hasn’t seen for two years, and how far he has progressed with the devil’s saint Luo Yutong, an enemy who fell in love with each other. Maybe we can help this straight brother. .

The wine was gone and the meat was empty. The old man said goodbye to Li Yu and went on duty with the black-helmeted gull. Li Yu cleaned up the mess and went back to his house to rest. Through a conversation with Mr. Liu, he had a general understanding of the situation and changes in Dajin in the past two years. At the same time, he decided to go to the Furnace City to join in the fun after docking.

During the next journey, Li Yu and the old man would sit and drink and chat for a while during meal time.

The old man and Li Yu talked about the customs, people and major events in many places, which gave Li Yu a better understanding of the world and also made him more curious about the old man's identity. But no matter how Li Yu made insinuations, the old man remained tight-lipped. When he asked others, no one knew the origin of the old man. Even the captain only knew that the old man was arranged by the team leader.

In fact, this already explains the problem. There are very few people who can be arranged by the team leader and whose identity is kept secret. After thinking about this, Li Yu lost interest in the old man's identity and mission. He has his own Tasks and rhythm, I don’t want to add new troubles to myself.

Since there was a headwind on the return journey, the trip took more than twenty days. After arriving at the seaport of Dajin, Li Yu said goodbye to the old man, Xiao Mo and others, rented a flying mount in a nearby city, and headed for the Furnace City. .

……

The Furnace City is close to the border. It was not originally a city, but a small village built around a volcano. For generations, it has made a living by making weapons, magic weapons and even spiritual weapons. It wasn't until later that a great master of weapon refining appeared, and the level of weapon refining in the small village improved by leaps and bounds, and it soon expanded into a well-known town. After several generations of hard work, the town was finally expanded into a furnace city. .

The Furnace City is controlled by two major families, the Wang family and the Fang family, which were developed by the descendants and disciples of the original grand master. They supply hundreds of spiritual weapons and magic weapons to the imperial court at low prices every year in exchange for the imperial court's protection.

This pattern lasted for decades until the war between good and evil two years ago. Both the imperial court and the demon sect were harmed. Not only was the imperial court no longer able to provide strong protection for the Furnace City, but the demand for spiritual weapons and magic weapons intensified.

This situation led to the split in the Furnace City. Among the two major families, the Fang family was still loyal to the imperial court, while the Wang family changed their tune and took refuge in the Demon Cult. This led to internal strife in the Furnace City.

Since both the Demon Cult and the imperial court needed the resources of the Furnace City, neither side was willing to destroy the Furnace City. Therefore, although the battles in the city were fierce, they were always controlled within an acceptable range.

However, the Wang family, who had defected to the Demon Cult, gradually found that their lives had not improved significantly. Instead, they had lost a lot of disciples and resources due to internal conflicts with the Fang family. Therefore, the forces in the Wang family that had supported switching to the Demon Cult secretly linked up again. The alien race is trying to introduce new forces to check and balance the demon sect and the imperial court.
