Wilster

"Not bad, not bad," North looked carefully at the blueprint in his hand, and nodded again and again, "This is also a good opportunity, taking the opportunity of rebuilding the heart mirror, to make up for the previous shortcomings, and at the same time rebuild it for the future. Accumulate experience in the Imperial City."

After Long Xing took the people away, the breast shield seemed to be much empty, only the people responsible for the repair work were still in full swing.North, who had always been restless, began to wander among the busy crowd, giving pointers to the drawings.

From their point of view, after going through all kinds of difficulties, now they have established the victory in Wilster, and it is only a matter of time before Xuan Ya is eliminated, so rebuilding the town naturally becomes the top priority.

"Master North," the little boss said with a smile, "I've heard a lot about you before. You can't help but want to restore some places in the Imperial City?"

North smiled lightly. Before that, the last thing he would be absent from was wine and beauties, and he didn't care what others said. Anyway, he was just a young master with no ambitions.

The little boss's expression suddenly became a little wretched: "Don't worry, although theoretically there should be no such place for the chest mirror as a place for preparing for war, but this is not an extraordinary period, do you want to help you think of a way?"

"No need." North continued to smile. He didn't dislike the little boss's deliberate flattery, nor did he pretend to be arrogant and refused, but he didn't have that thought right now.As long as the situation is unstable for a day, he will always help Long Xing.

The little boss was taken aback for a moment. It seemed that Nuo Si's image of a gentleman who didn't quite match the rumors had frightened him. He immediately smiled awkwardly and hurried back to work.

Seeing the back of the little boss running away, North opened his mouth, as if regretting it, but he still didn't speak in the end.

North is not an idiot, and Long Xing didn't shy away from him because he didn't care about him, so it's impossible for him not to understand.However, Long Xing is a man, his brother, and his leader. No matter whether he is dependent or is really in love, it is absolutely impossible for North to have any transgressive things with Long Xing.Maybe he can reverse Long Xing's thoughts by recovering some of his former flair, but it's a pity that now is really not a good time.

Thinking of this question, North felt dizzy for a while, and his two younger brothers were more capable of making trouble than the other.

North didn't even have the mind to stroll around now, and was about to go back to drink and sleep, but was stopped by Eric's attendants, and the old leader invited him.

North smiled bitterly and nodded to follow, mocking himself in a low voice: "I'm such a hard worker..."

Since the last time I talked with Long Xing, Eric has almost stopped appearing in public. He hides in his tent every day. After everything seems to be solved, it's time to avoid suspicion.

Perhaps the relationship between father and son is closer. Compared with Long Xing, North can understand Eric's actions better, and even said from the bottom of his heart that he doesn't think Eric is wrong.But being right doesn’t mean being right. North didn’t know what to comment on, so he simply pretended he didn’t know anything.

When he walked into the tent, Eric was closing his eyes and resting his mind. After hearing the sound of footsteps, he said lazily: "It's North, no need to salute."

North, however, did not move. After saluting, he said softly, "Father, what do you need from me?"

"Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?" Eric smiled and opened his eyes, "Vic and Long Xing are fine, and you don't even come to see me. Why, you think I don't need company, and Can we spend our old age peacefully together with those plots in our stomach?"

Eric's tone was not serious, mostly joking, and North smiled: "How come, it's just that Long Xing is really working too hard, I just want to share his worries. Wait until all the troubles are resolved, God After the city is rebuilt, it's almost time for me to pursue my ideals."

"Wine and women are not ideals," Eric said, "but I know your ambition is not here, and I believe that Long Xing will become a good leader. Tell me, how is the breastplate repaired?"

"Everything is going well," North replied, "After all, the Breastplate was originally a place to prepare for war, the restoration of the city walls and buildings is progressing very quickly, and the support from other territories is also continuous, and they should be able to stand up again soon. "

Eric nodded with satisfaction: "Although I almost wiped out the opponents on the battlefield, it is still not an easy task to lead the family forward, and it will depend on you and Long Xing in the future."

It seems that Eric really intends to hand over power completely. Looking at his father's stretched brows, North suddenly felt a bitterness in his heart.His understanding of the ancestors is only from the records on paper, and he has not seen how they ruled the family with his own eyes, but North can be sure that few can do better than Eric.All this is indeed unfair to Vik, but as a father, Eric may not feel much better in his heart than Vik, at least he can expect the situation today, and the Dragon Star who has been cultivated by himself is afraid of himself and not afraid of him. untie.But despite this, Eric did it for the sake of the family without hesitation.

Even if he is no longer the leader.

Eric is indeed ruthless, but he is not soft on himself. Such a person must at least be respected by family members.Of course, the future road will not be smooth sailing, but Wilster's status has changed qualitatively. At least any problems will no longer rise to the level of war. This is Eric's credit.

The scene of the two being relatively silent lasted for a long time before North smiled dryly: "Don't say that, at least there is Vic."

Speaking of Vic, the expression on Eric's face hesitated: "I believe that at this point, Vic's mind is already very clear, and it is impossible to stand on the opposite side of the family, but... I think the West The war that broke out again is very strange, because in my opinion, no matter how crazy Xuanya is, she would never make such a move of hitting a pebble with a stone, unless..."

"Unless what?" North frowned slightly.

Eric didn't answer directly, but thought for a while and said, "Do you remember that Vic has an ally besides Xuan Ya?"

"You're talking... it should be Gong Lan?" North thought for a moment and said, "I think the relationship between him and Vic seems to be extraordinary, but I don't know what the opportunity between them is, and I don't know what he thinks about him. How Vic will react to his choice of summing up, the possibility of him and Xuan Ya joining forces alone cannot be ruled out."

Eric nodded: "This is what I'm most worried about. Vic is not as ruthless as he appears, on the contrary, he is a person who pays attention to feelings, whether it is Xuan Ya or Gong Lan, Vic is actually It’s because I don’t want to turn against them. It’s just that sometimes I really can’t help myself, I hope your brother can have an epiphany during the suffering. Heh, living is really not as comfortable as he imagined.”

North smiled and said, "So, I just want to have fun while I'm suffering. It's best not to come to me for any troubles. I don't need much, just have some money for drinks."

Eric smiled and shook his head and sighed: "You... Thanks to having two good brothers. But I have to say one thing, I am really sorry for Vic, so you have to care about him for me. I don't know how Long Xing will treat Vic in the future. Will there be any prejudice, but you have a good relationship with him. If there is any unpleasantness, on the premise of not affecting the development of the family, you should stand by Vic's side more, and don't make him feel regretful about coming back. "

North didn't listen to the second half of Eric's words at all, and his mind was full of the phrase "you have a good relationship with him".

North had to think about it more, Eric was scheming, couldn't he see that Long Xing thought about him?Could it be that the purpose of talking to him so much today is to remind him of this sentence?

North looked carefully at Eric's eyes and didn't see anything unusual, but North didn't dare to relax at all. After all, it was very easy for Eric to hide it from him.

"Is there something wrong?" Eric noticed North's distraction and asked with a smile.

North suddenly came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly.In fact, he doesn't need to be guilty, after all, he doesn't have any unreasonable thoughts about Long Xing, so what can Eric do if he reminds him, it won't be because of this that the leader of Long Xing will be abolished, right?

After a pause, North nodded and said with a pun, "I understand what you mean, and I won't worry you."

Eric nodded, and when he was about to speak again, there was a sudden noisy sound in the distance, and Eric couldn't help humming in doubt.

North obviously noticed it too, and quickly went out to have a look, and when he came in again, his face was anxious: "There is thick smoke rising from the east, it may be that the grain depot is on fire."

Eric stood up with a gloomy face: "The guards can't be so careless, there must be someone playing tricks... Longxing brought a large army to support Vic. If an enemy takes the opportunity to hit here, it will be troublesome."

North quickly thought for a moment in his mind, then shook his head and said: "Probably not, I don't believe that the other party can mobilize people to attack the heart shield in the face of so many reformers. It may be just a sneak attack by a small number of people. Don't worry, I will Go see it now."

Just when North was about to walk out of the tent, Eric followed him: "I'll go with you, the person who stays in the goggle now is my strength, and we have to make sure everything is safe."

Although North hesitated, he didn't dare to take it easy. He could only nod and walked quickly in the direction of the grain depot behind Eric.

The situation was even worse than the two had imagined. Just now, North saw the smoke from a distance, but when he approached, he found that the entire grain depot had been engulfed in flames, and the family members were rushing to put out the fire with water systems.But it can be seen that even if the fire is extinguished, it is too late. Although this will not bring them a catastrophe, it is enough to make them feel uncomfortable for a while.

Seeing that Eric arrived in person, the people around were not so flustered. He gently opened his palm, and the land that had been scorched by the fire suddenly burst into water, and the sound of sizzling was endless. After gradually dissipating, the continuous sea of ​​flames was finally extinguished.

Eric looked at the silent crowd: "Why is there a sudden fire, where are the guards?"

Yan Di, who stayed in the breast-protector, hesitated and said: "Old leader, the people who arrived at the first time seemed to hear screams in the flames, and the guards may have already..."

Eric nodded silently, and walked into the grain depot that was still full of scorching air, and North hurriedly followed behind him.

The good news is that they have more than one grain depot, and the fire was extinguished very early and did not spread to other areas, but a sudden fire at this time will definitely burn people in panic, and losing so much grain will definitely have an impact.

When walking close to the center, Eric and North felt a sudden burst of energy at the same time.The two immediately became alert, but that force was not directed at them, but formed a wall of light similar to an eggshell in midair, enveloping and trapping all the people who stepped here.

At this point, Eric calmed down instead. It was obvious that the other party had deliberately set a trap, but this is Wilster's temporary headquarters after all, as long as it was exhausted, it was impossible for the other party to have many people.

"Old leader! North!" Yan Di was stunned and rushed over immediately, but was firmly stopped by the light wall connecting the ground.Yan dimple tried to attack the light wall with supernatural powers, but it didn't work at all.

"Light needle killing."

A clear voice suddenly sounded in the light wall, and North's face changed, and he immediately protected Eric behind him.However, Eric strode forward to block him, and at the same time raised a thick ice shield in front of him.

The dazzling light instantly enveloped the entire range of the light wall, and those family members who followed in had no time to react, and were pierced through the body by the rays of light, and fell down one after another.

Eric's shield was smashed into pieces after blocking a few rays of light. Fortunately, the light needle killing didn't last long. Those life-threatening rays of light gathered together, and Abe wearing a ghost mask appeared In mid-air, a pair of deep eyes looked down at Eric and North without emotion.

And it was Gong Lan who appeared next to Abe.The two of them abandoned the battle situation in the west and chose to directly break into the breast shield.

"Break this wall of light immediately!" North shouted at the family members outside, and then stepped forward to stand beside Eric, "Gong Lan, you are so brave, you two dare to come here directly!"

Gong Lan didn't even look at North at all. Since he appeared, her eyes have been fixed on Eric.Even an old fox like Eric felt a little sinister with that kind of resentful gaze.

Gong Lan didn't say anything, but gently raised the palm where the hexagram appeared.He really didn't need to talk nonsense, anyway, he came here today to kill people.

"you dare!"

North glared at him, but just as he took a step forward, Abe appeared behind him in an instant: "Don't overestimate your capabilities."

"Get out!" Nuos's hand entrenched the energy ball gathered by countless fine wind blades, and hit Abe's chest with his backhand.The tactile sensation of being able to touch the entity only lasted for a short moment before disappearing, and the bursting energy was wanton in the air, but Abe had already disappeared again.

At this time, Gong Lan's forbidden spell was also released, and the thick energy was suffocating, and the huge energy enough to destroy everything filled the not-so-large light wall, and there was no way to hide.

The moment Gong Lan detonated the energy of the forbidden spell, North's mind seemed to go blank for a moment, and everything in front of him suddenly stopped, only to see Eric rushing in front of him, trying his best to raise a wave again and again. A seemingly solid ice layer tried in vain to resist this outrageously strong dark energy.

The idea in North's mind is very clear, that is, no matter what, he can't let his father stand in front of him, but his body movements can't keep up with his consciousness at all. It seems that he just moved his legs, and the overflowing energy Instantly engulfed him and Eric.

Gong Lan's full blow even shattered Abe's wall of light, and those Welster members guarding the periphery were also staggered by this energy fluctuation, which clearly shows the power of this move.

North just felt as if he was trapped in a powerful vortex, he couldn't see anything, he couldn't hear anything, only boundless pain was tearing his body, blood red flashed in front of his eyes, and he fell directly on the ground. Lost consciousness on the ground.Eric, who was protecting him, was more seriously injured, but he hadn't fallen yet.

In an emergency, Eric wrapped himself in a layer of solid ice, and he was not directly crushed into powder when he resisted the forbidden spell head-on, but even so, his body was already horrible, almost half of his body was covered by Gong Lan's The forbidden spell was destroyed, and blood and internal organs hung on the broken ice of the body, emitting dense white smoke.

In Gong Lan's eyes, there was neither the joy of revenge, nor the cruelty that often appeared on weekdays, but only the boundless coldness.Every time she thinks that her dearest and favorite person died at the hands of Eric, and the murderer seems to have forgotten that trivial matter to him, Gong Lan feels that killing him a thousand times or ten thousand times is not enough.

Eric really forgot that he killed several small family leaders when he participated in the fight against demons a few years ago. For him, there is no need to keep such worthless things in mind.But he knew that Gong Lan was Wilster's enemy. He thought that his mission had been completed, but now it seemed that he hadn't.

But it was a good thing, at least, his whole life could be fully and thoroughly dedicated to Wilster.

Eric raised the remaining hand with difficulty, and slowly placed it on the severely injured heart.

Gong Lan didn't intend to dodge at all, and the halo of the hexagram appeared on her hand again.Abei looked at him sideways, and although he didn't stop it explicitly, his tone already expressed his disapproval: "Is it necessary to fight him desperately?"

"It doesn't matter if he resists or not, I won't back down even a single step when facing the enemy." Gong Lan said coldly, and then threw out the energy of the forbidden spell on her palm again.

An ice sculpture-like flower also appeared on Eric's hand, and the edge of each petal was shining with a cold light, perhaps because it was stained red by his blood, it looked extremely deadly.

The moment he was hit by the forbidden spell, the ice flower in Eric's hand shattered suddenly, and each sharp petal flew towards Gong Lan.

As early as when Eric was not the leader of Wilster, he had already firmly established his belief in this life, that is, to die for the family. At this moment, Eric had no fear or regret in his heart, because the coefficient Most of his experiences from life to death are enough for future generations to sing praises. He has reached the limit of what he can do.However, he still has some regrets in his heart.

He thought that there was still more time, enough to wait until the years dilute the conflict between him and Vic.

However, such an ending is not unacceptable. Whose life can be perfect?

Facing the Frost Blade approaching in front of her, Gong Lan closed her eyes and did not dodge.It's not the so-called never retreating from the enemy, but... only this kind of self-torture pain can make Gong Lan feel less uncomfortable.

He killed Vic's father, and after their father and son resolved their conflict.

Abei has always been calm, maybe he knew what Gong Lan was thinking, so he didn't forcefully pull Gong Lan to dodge.He just supported him when he was swaying and fell, and left quickly before Wilster formed a siege.

"Abe, what should Vic and I do..."

Maybe it was an injury, or maybe it was the revenge of the big revenge, and she suddenly let go. Gong Lan spoke vaguely, and passed out after finishing speaking.At this moment, Abei was extremely thankful that Gong Lan had lost consciousness, because he didn't know how to answer that question.
