Devil's Law Pit Filling Project

Chapter 6 Summer Festival

In May, the imperial capital is gradually entering the tail of spring, and the temperature is getting higher day by day.

The Tulip family's workshop began to design new spring fashion clothes, and they started to sell well again.The tulip family's grasp of the trend of the imperial capital is simply astounding-rather than that, it is better to say that the tulip is the vane of the trend.

However, it is a pity this year that Zach Jr. did not come up with various ideas to take care of his business as usual.He's not even in the imperial capital.

"Baron Zac went to the south a few months ago. It seems to be the province of Calderon, a territory of my lord duke. He hasn't returned for a long time." If you ask the guards, you can only get such an answer.

However, Knight Ruolin is still there.When she thought of Zach's expression before he left, her eyes became more complicated.She knows why Zac is willing to go to the hot south in the coming summer!

"Believe me, I will definitely earn enough money! More than what you brought back from Nanyang for your lord! So I am qualified to marry you?"

To tell the truth, Ruolin really couldn't have any good feelings for this big horse monkey.But after several years, no matter how strong the heart is, it will eventually be shaken, so he put forward such an almost impossible condition.You know, Ruolin brought back 5 or 6 years of the empire's fiscal revenue!Equivalent to nearly 3 million gold coins!What a terrible fortune this is!However, this big horse monkey didn't seem to be afraid, so he just did it!In order to achieve his goal, he even encouraged the Duke to stop the war and do business with criminals!Fortunately, Du Wei stopped this crazy idea - the orcs wouldn't treat him as the same kind and do business with him just because he looks like a big horse monkey!

She was wearing this year's most popular spring outfit - Ruo Lin, who had taken off her armor, was less heroic, but she was more like a young girl who was ordered to serve an old man in a small courtyard in a civilian area.

The old man sat under the big tree in the courtyard, in a wheelchair, wrapped in a blanket, and sighed as he looked at the big tree that was getting more and more luxuriant.

"The weather is getting hotter...the cooked beef I bought is also spoiling faster and faster..."

"Since you can't finish these, you can buy less each time."

"I'm getting old... I bought more than this... I used to be able to eat it up, but now I can't chew it... I can only sit there and watch..."

"It's okay, you are a strong man of the holy rank, how can you grow old so quickly?"

"Hehe...Du Wei told you, right? He really believes in you, and he won't hide anything from you... I don't have a few days to live, so I know it myself. Presumably Du Weina The kid knows this too, otherwise he wouldn't have sent you to take care of me personally..."

"..."

The number one wise man in the empire, Mr. Lan Hai, Lan Haiyue from Daxue Mountain, finally, is coming to the end of his life.

In the last battle with Bai Hechou that year, he used the forbidden technique in Daxueshan witchcraft, combined with his own perception, to rejuvenate himself, and barely survived Bai Hechou's hands.Then he was seriously injured by the beast god Hector, who had only a few years to live, and his life span was shortened again.

"My servant, after I died, was entrusted to Du Wei. Although he was not as talented as Rodriguez, he had some insight after being cut off by Bai Heshou, and barely stepped into the holy rank... in the future It might as well just stop there…”

"Please don't say that, the empire, the empire is gradually prospering, don't you want to wait a little longer to see?"

These days, Ruolin has been deeply influenced by the number one wise man in the empire, and she seems to have been sublimated by his charm.Although there is not much emotion, there is still a trace of sadness.

"Hey... Empire, I don't care... Big Snow Mountain... Big Snow Mountain... Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has entered the hottest July in the Empire.

A fleet of horse-drawn carriages galloped by.

Philip and Du Wei were sitting together in the largest and most luxurious carriage. Even with ice magic to cool down, it still made people feel restless and hot.

In the rest of the cars, there were a few of Philip's fellow apprentices.

On the grassland, there are also two figures galloping.One of them has a graceful figure, leaping forward gracefully as if without bones.The other one can be seen to be a man's figure, but it is extremely short, and its feet seem to be gliding without touching the ground!

"Yue..." the man whispered softly, not slowing down at all.

In the civilian area in the south of the city, in that small courtyard, the tree, July is supposed to be the greenest season, but the leaves are abnormally withered and yellow one by one, maybe a leaf has fallen.

The old man was still sitting in the wheelchair in the room. Even though the temperature was so high, the old man was still wearing a blanket and didn't sweat a little.Looking at the leaves outside the window, he murmured, "Falling...falling..."

The girl behind her had her soft waist slightly bent.Seems like weeping uncontrollably.

The old man said: "Silly child, why are you crying? This man... one day. Just like this tree, it lost its leaves when it was supposed to be the most tenacious... I am much luckier than it... "

Ai Lu could hardly restrain her voice: "Master..."

The old man smiled, "A guest is here, go make a pot of tea."

Ai Lu sobbed, turned and went downstairs.

Lan Hai looked at the young man in front of him: "Boy, you are here."

Du Wei sighed slightly.

"You're not the only one coming, are you?"

"...Yes, Philip and a few of his fellow apprentices insist on following along."

"Nonsense... These people are the pillars of your Northwest government order. If they run away, what will happen to your Northwest?"

Although the old man scolded like this, he couldn't hear a trace of anger—maybe he was too old and lost his dignity, or maybe he didn't have any anger at all.

"It's okay. People's livelihood in Northwest China is very good now, and there will be no major mistakes in a while."

Ai Lu brought up the pot of snow lotus tea, and glanced at Du Wei, it seemed that the grief in her heart temporarily overwhelmed the feeling of longing, and this look did not make Du Wei feel too unbearable.

She put down the teacup and teapot, still sobbing, and went down the stairs again.

"I... all my life... I just want to be a spectator. Watching the ups and downs of the Roland Empire, the life and death of political struggles, and the coming and going of grassland people, I obviously don't want to do anything, but there is still no way to stop it." My traces. But these things... I don't care. I am in the empire, but my heart is always on the Daxue Mountain... I have never cared about this empire or the people around me. This Roland Empire, for so many years After all, I, a cold-hearted person, can't be warmed up... I am a person from the snow mountain, but the snow mountain has disappeared... Maybe it's time for me to let go of these obsessions... But I just can't let go..."

"Old man... Don't you always look like you're dying? Why did you really come here suddenly this time?" Du Wei scolded with a smile. "You haven't caused less trouble for the empire in your life? Haha, you've been thinking about your big snow mountain, but in the end, don't you still have to stay in this small courtyard and wait for the Roland people to take care of your funeral? ?” Du Wei smiled and wiped his moist eye sockets. "And you also deceived many Roland people's tears? Look at these people outside, your disciples, don't you want to see them even after you die? Not only did they deceive their tears, but they also deceived their hearts. , you don't care about their life or death at all, right? You only created these people for your Daxueshan...they respect you...but you don't want to look at them again...haha... "

Lan Hai seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and also scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, do you think your aggressive method is useful? If I say no, I won't see it. It's my business. What does it have to do with you? Cough cough......Okay ...Stop talking, I won't change my mind...Finally, help me fulfill my two wishes."

"First thing, I know this empire will be yours sooner or later...cough cough...don't interrupt me...I just want to say, no matter what, in the future, you control this empire and give the prairie people a A way to survive...Leave a way...for these prairie people who have believed in Daxue Mountain all their lives...cough cough...!"

Looking at the number one wise man in the empire who was so coughing that he couldn't speak, Du Wei couldn't help swallowing the cynicism that had reached his throat.

"The second thing...cough cough...at the door...the beef shop at the door, the owner of this shop treats me sincerely from the Snow Mountain...and one of the few friends I have in the imperial capital... Boss Dink's greatest wish...is to meet the legendary Duke of Tulip...you...you have nothing to do...so go and sit more...that's what I brought to the imperial people of this empire It's one of the few rewards...Repay the people...Haha...And my servant...If you don't dislike it, just accept it...Okay, you go. Tell Philip and the others, don't worry about me, an old man. They are people with their own identities... Being so close to me... will only arouse the royal family's suspicion of you... Don't say anything, the queen won't... Du Wei! Du Wei! People's hearts! People's hearts are the most unpredictable...! Go away, brat..."

Du Wei didn't say anything, just took a deep look at the old man and the big tree in the courtyard, then turned and left.I didn't even drink that cup of snow lotus tea...

The old man was lying alone in the wheelchair, panting lightly... Gradually walked into the final silence.

"I will restore the Daxueshan lineage, Yue!" A short figure gradually emerged from the darkness.

Lan Haiyue pulled up the corners of her mouth with the last of her strength and smiled.

"worry......"

In July 971 of the empire, the number one wise man in the empire, the 360th and fourth witch king of Daxue Mountain, Gu Lanxiu, sat down with the most intelligent disciple, Lan Haiyue, leaving nothing behind. The cold-hearted person who drank a glass of ice water in winter passed away quietly in the hottest summer... Maybe this is the last memory of Daxue Mountain...

No tombstone, no funeral, no one was disturbed.His life was full of ups and downs, only a few people knew about it, but everyone buried it in their stomachs and never mentioned it again...
