Bulwark of Light

Chapter 483
"Ajar?"

Gu Shen looked at the woman in front of him.

He was indeed a visitor from Beizhou, and he could feel the obvious difference from the skin color and hair color. Under Ajar's felt hat, he had soft silver hair that Dongzhou people did not have.

Under the suppression of God of War domain.

The silvery white color in her pupils has completely faded, and if she looks at her now, she won't feel the oppressive frost coercion before.

"You are... Mr. Gu Shen."

Ajiaer also looked at Gu Shen carefully, she smiled and said: "I have seen your photos, but the real person is younger than I imagined."

Gu Shen invited Ah Yier into the Spring Rain Temple.

After closing the door.

Ajar looked at Gu Shen's eyebrows, and said seriously: "Lord God, you don't mind if I use special means to block this conversation?"

Gu Shen had a delicate expression.

Because Bai Shu performed a trance once on his forehead.

So at this moment... Ajar is speaking to Bai Shu.

No response, this is an affirmative response.

Ajar smiled slightly, she raised a palm, and a wind and snow suddenly rose in the small house, this time it was not the disorderly spread of the power of [Frost Killing]... Gu Shen sensed the woman's powerful spiritual power and Extraordinary control.

In the courtyard, fine snow dust was raised.

The cloak fluttered.

Ajar looked up at the sky, and there was a thin snow curtain on the zenith of this small open-air courtyard. As an [Apostle], he has the "freedom" bestowed by the highest seat of God, and he can walk freely in the five continents without worrying. The specific whereabouts will be captured by [Deep Sea], but they cannot transfer this gift.

So, she came to the Spring Rain Temple and talked with Gu Shen... She could only hide herself, but not Gu Shen.

Unless some special means are used.

The general picture of this conversation can be seen by 【Feng Tong】.

The snow dust fluttering above the small courtyard completely cuts off the detection of the outside air mechanism, somewhat like a [lantern] in Lion Alley.

of course.

This method... is ineffective against Bai Shu.

After all, the entire Snow Forbidden City is within his God's Domain, and if he wishes, he can listen to the conversation at will.

"Miss Ajar..."

Gu Shen has already heard the news from the investigative army, and this time he returned to Nagano to prepare for the next trip to Beizhou.

Unexpectedly.

The speed of the opponent is faster than oneself.

Before he set off, Her Majesty's apostle "visited the door".

"I am here to see you at the order of Her Majesty the Empress." Unexpectedly, Ajar did not mention the matter of investigating the legion. I have been busy retreating...just these few days, I just heard the news from Nagano."

Gu Shen was taken aback.

"The Battle of Qingzuka Mausoleum... Dionysus died, and Dongzhou has a new God of War."

Ajar managed to squeeze out a smile, and said: "Her Majesty sent me here, one is to give blessings to Dongzhou, and other than that, she also hopes that I can take a look for her... Mr. Gu Changzhi's hometown. "

Gu Shen lowered his head and sighed lightly.

He said sadly, "Mr. Gu Changzhi...is no longer here. If you want to search for old memories for Her Majesty, then you should go to the Gu family's ancestral hall, where Mr. Gu Changzhi once lived."

"No... I'm here to find you."

Ajar shook his head, and said: "Her Majesty said, Mr. Gu Changzhi must have left something for her."

Gu Shen looked complicated.

Could it be...that Gu Changzhi's letter had been expected by Her Majesty the Empress?

No wonder Ajar came straight to him when he entered Nagano, this was the destination he had planned in advance.

"Mr. Gu Changzhi... indeed left one item, which he wants to give to Her Majesty the Empress."

Gu Shen thought about it silently.

At the beginning, Gu Changzhi's confession was that he delivered it himself.

He looked into Ajar's eyes, even though the power of [Frost Kill] was suppressed by God of War, he still felt the inherent coldness in those eyes.

Gu Shen shook his head and said, "But I can't give it to you. I promise Mr. Gu Changzhi that I will hand it over to Her Majesty the Empress."

Ajar still had a smile on his face.

She was not angry, but asked, "So that object...is it a letter?"

"...?"

Gu Shen raised his head and frowned.

This kind of thing... shouldn't be within the expected range, right?

As far as I know, in the past years, apart from Master Qianye, the only one who has mastered "divination" in the Five Continents is the "Prophet" who was sealed and imprisoned by the Tower of Origin. Could it be that Her Majesty the Empress is also one of them?
"Mr. Gu, don't be surprised."

Ajar took out the coat of arms on her chest, which was an ancient token engraved with an owl. She stroked the owl's hair with her fingers, and said in a warm voice: "Her Majesty has supernatural wisdom. Not an exaggeration. In addition, she is one of the people in the world who knows Mr. Gu Changzhi the best... Guessing this is actually nothing."

In Gu Changzhi's peak year, Her Majesty the Empress who now controls Beizhou is still just a little girl.

When I heard Gu Changzhi call the young empress "the little girl of the Lin family".

Gu Shen knew that the two probably had a past——

However, now from Ajar's mouth, he vaguely feels that this past event seems to be more complicated than he imagined... The bond between these two gods may not be superficial.

Gu Changzhi left only three letters after his death, one to the family and one to the respected teacher.

There is one more... for the queen.

And Ajar just said that the empress is one of the people who knows Gu Changzhi best?

"them……"

Gu Shen was silent for a while, then subconsciously opened his mouth, wanting to ask about the past.

After saying two words, he stopped.

Ajar was only a few years older than himself...how could he know this?
"Your Majesty, the accession to the throne back then encountered great difficulties."

Ajar knew what Gu Shen wanted to ask.

She said: "No one knows what those difficulties really mean, but everyone in Central City knows... Mr. Gu Changzhi, who gave her a lot of help. Although the two are 20 years apart in age, they used to be comrades-in-arms fighting side by side .”

"After the turmoil in Beizhou was pacified, Her Majesty the Queen erected a monument for Mr. Gu Changzhi in the central city. Besides, she also collected some scrolls and videos recording the battle between the two."

Speaking of this, her voice was a little hoarse, and she paused for a long time before she said slowly: "After learning the news of Mr. Gu Changzhi's death... I saw Her Majesty the Queen opened the past portrait and sat there for a long time."

Gu Shen didn't say anything more...

Ajar's description is very graphic and sentimental.

"Sorry……"

Gu Shen took a deep breath, looked at Ajiaer, and said, "Even so, I still insist on personally delivering this letter to Her Majesty the Empress."

Ajar smiled.

"Actually, I came to Nagano today...not to ask you for that letter."

Her eyes were gentle, and she said: "The letter, and about you, are all just conjectures by Her Majesty, I came to Nagano today just to confirm some conjectures of Your Majesty...Mr. Gu Changzhi must have his arrangements because he left that letter. I will not intervene."

Hearing this, Gu Shen understood the purpose of Ajiaer's visit.

All of this is Her Majesty's "guessing". Gu Changzhi left a letter, and that letter is on him... How did he guess it?
"Gu Nanfeng is the future head of the Gu family..."

Gu Shen rubbed his eyebrows.

He smiled wryly: "If Her Majesty wants to find a letter, you should look for him."

"CN021..."

Ajar softly said Gu Nanfeng's name that is more widely known in Beizhou.

"Her Majesty understands him, he is not a person who can hide secrets." She smiled and looked at Gu Shen, "So the probability of CN021 can basically be ruled out... What's more, he is not in the cemetery, is he?"

Hearing this, Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

Ajar's words...in fact, there is a deeper meaning.

That is, what Gu Changzhi left behind was more than a letter.

Queen Beizhou's is just one of them.

Therefore, what Gu Changzhi was looking for was not only a "messenger", but also a trustworthy person who had the ability to keep the "secret".

"Do not be nervous."

Ajar said sincerely: "I have no intention of probing... but on the premise of the existence of 'belief', the existence of 'secret' must also be established."

"The existence of these 'secrets' is not a 'secret'."

Gu Shen picked up the teacup, smiled with downcast eyes, and asked softly: "Besides... With the wisdom of Her Majesty the Empress, you must be able to guess some of the so-called secrets, right?"

The two talked so far.

Gu Shen vaguely felt... the spiritual restraint on his forehead slowly spreading.

It was Bai Shu who had let go of his mental repression.

What does it mean?
Gu Shen understood it almost in a second.

Bai Shu let go of the restriction on his mental power, which means that this conversation... has enough information to explore, and even Bai Shu is interested in this information.

Gu Shen's blazing fire burned silently.

He looked at Ajar.

Regarding the previous remarks... Ajar just smiled, noncommittal.

Gu Shen caught a clear mental fluctuation.

Obviously, the information that Ajar knew was limited.

It may also be Her Majesty the Queen, who didn't explain too much... It's just that no matter how 'wisdom' that Queen of Beizhou is, she can't possibly predict everything in the world, right?

Gu Shen adjusted his sitting posture and asked, "Your Excellency, you traveled all the way to Nagano, you can't just do it for this one thing?"

It was just to confirm that Gu Changzhi had left a letter, so it really wouldn't be so "inspiring teachers and mobilizing people".

This is the [Apostle], the brother of God!
If Her Majesty the Queen is so sure...you can just sit and wait.

"certainly……"

Ajar also took a sip of tea.

"No."

She opened her mouth solemnly, her face gradually calmed down, and she said word by word: "Mr. Gu, you should have received the news about the investigative army north of Gubao, right?"

"...Mmm." Gu Shen nodded slowly.

"This matter is not that simple."

Ajar said seriously: "Her Majesty hopes that you can go to Beizhou in person...to investigate this mystery clearly."

"I……?"

From the very beginning, Gu Shen felt strange.

The "request" from the Beizhou military seems to be a deliberate attempt to get in touch with him.

But now, even the [Apostle] came to ask for an audience, hoping to go north to the fortress.

"Because of some 'unspeakable' reasons, His Majesty's current state is not good..."

Ajar gritted her teeth, she looked at the zenith, and then looked around.

In the end, she said these words helplessly...

This is why Ajar insisted on using special measures.

It's a pity that these words can be hidden from [Deep Sea], but they can't be hidden from the ubiquitous Battle God Seat in Snow Forbidden City.

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

This is a divine seat...

What exactly happened to make the [Apostle] say something about his bad state?

The current situation of Queen Beizhou must be worse than what Ajar said.

Almost instantly, Gu Shen thought of the "Moon City Fortress" incident a year ago. The Beizhou military dealt with the super-large disaster situation very quickly.

At the beginning, it was decided by Grand Duke Zhu Xue that General Rustybone was stationed extremely quickly, and the garrison force in Phi Yue City was withdrawn to retreat. Everyone cooperated with the defense project and showed "tolerance" to the rapid expansion of this disaster. manner.

At first everyone thought so.

This kind of tolerance is purely an exploration of the hope of the "oasis".

Her Majesty the Empress, as well as the entire Beizhou military, are willing to believe in the sacrifice of the Grand Adjudicator and Tiantong... and are willing to pour their chips into this gamble.

But now, contact Ajar for the news.

Gu Shen sensed something different.

Perhaps... The Queen's "poor condition" didn't just happen this year.

It is very possible that a year ago, she could no longer easily deal with that super-large disaster environment, and at that time, the entire North Continent was undergoing a huge cleansing and rectification... Once this kind of news is exposed, no one will Doubts are a "disaster" that adds insult to injury for Beizhou.

After the news came out.

Ajar no longer hides anything.

She came here to ask for help.

Ajar said in a deep voice: "A few days ago, Her Majesty the Empress saw the 'guidance of fate'..."

"The...guidance of fate?"

"In the near future, the North Continent fortress may face a shock." Ajar said calmly, "The key factors to alleviate this crisis are in Dongzhou, Nagano, and Qingzuka Cemetery."

It's almost a roll call.

In Qingzuka Mausoleum, Master Qianye passed away, leaving him alone.

And the group of people who traveled far away from the fortress of Phiyue City were also my teachers, senior brothers, and senior sisters.

"Her Majesty can see the guidance of fate... Is this the power of the fire seed? It's just that the so-called guidance is too vague?"

Gu Shen asked thoughtfully: "Is this similar to 'divination'?"

"Do not……"

Ajar shook his head and said: "Although there is also the element of 'foreseeing', Her Majesty's 'guidance' is not the same as divination. She can see endless possibilities that change at any time, the most important Yes... she doesn't need to pay the price."

She was silent for a while.

"As for whether this is the power of the fire seed, I don't know... I only know that this is a 'spell' created by His Majesty himself, and it existed a long time ago."

Speaking of this, Ajar extended a sentence softly: "I guess that His Majesty created this technique, perhaps it was inspired by the tomb guard in Qingzhong Cemetery..."

Master Qianye is the inheritor of divination... Everyone yearns for the predictive power of this technique.

only.

What people yearn for more is the life-and-death relationship between Qianye and Gu Changzhi.

Gu Shen was a little amazed... That Her Majesty the Empress is indeed amazingly talented, did she actually create a method comparable to "divination"?
"I think you will not refuse the invitation to go north."

Ajar looked at Gu Shen sincerely, and said: "Your teacher, senior brother, and senior sister have all disappeared in the fortress of Phiyue City. It has been a year, and the news about them and 'Oasis' has disappeared... This time the northbound investigation may be able to uncover new clues."

……

……

The energy boats are parked just outside the northern border of Nagano.

Gu Shen and Ajiaer stood on a barren hill, watching the origin energy airship slowly approaching. This was the first time Gu Shen came into contact with this "big thing" at such a close distance.

Beizhou invests a large amount of funds every year to develop "source energy", which is a mature energy technology.

Extraordinary source quality can be captured, and can also be used... This is actually nothing "new".

[Kyotsuka] was built in Nagano.

Central Continent has the [Tower of Origin].

There are still several [Lands of Miracles] like this... and the most important creation for Beizhou is the new generation of [Original Energy].

Using strong logic materials to lock the extraordinary source quality, and using specific ancient characters to outline formation patterns, and dismantling the "supernatural source quality", this technology has long been born.

Many years ago, while exploring extraordinary abilities, human beings also began to explore the utilization of extraordinary sources.

It's just that [Yuan Neng]'s road of exploration is extremely bumpy and bumpy.

Until the appearance of Alan Turing, this genius scientist made a major breakthrough in the field of "strong logic materials" when he was young, and made "source energy" a big step forward... At that time, human beings were only embracing this terrible power. I had fantasies, but I never expected it, but a few years later, [Deep Sea] came out, and the algorithm was optimized unprecedentedly, so that the efficiency of [Source Energy] increased dozens of times.

The new generation of ancient text link can stimulate the source quality to generate huge kinetic energy, and the combustion efficiency of this link equation is extremely impressive.

Most importantly, stability.

The map of Beizhou is extremely vast, and it is extremely cold. A long time ago, the military trek was extremely difficult, but now it has changed greatly...【Yuanneng】brought unprecedented light to Beizhou.

Under the central city, there is an incomparably huge "source energy furnace", which absorbs "extraordinary source quality" at all times, and uses it to supply the source energy for thousands of miles of land to burn.

And the origin energy airship came out just like that... No one knows why the [Deep Sea] research team finally came up with such a retro structural design, but the boat structure is indeed the most harmonious with the "origin energy reactor" Flying frame.

On the top of the hill, a huge shadow slowly landed.

The airship, which looked ethereal like a bird on the clouds, actually looked like a big whale when it fell.

Gu Shen looked at the airship that almost covered the entire mountain with a complicated expression.

"Because there is no 'authorization', the energy boat cannot land at will..."

Ajar said apologetically, "So I can't pick you up on the boat in Nagano."

"I know."

Gu Shen smiled.

When Ajar arrived in Nagano, there was some misunderstanding. Bai Chen and the prison officer in charge of monitoring the abnormality of "Feng Tong" had already reported this matter to [Deep Sea].

And those files, Chu Ling can see.

In addition... the prison official also specially greeted himself.

After all, when an [Apostle] enters the Snow Forbidden City, the first thing he does is to go straight to Gu Shen's place, which is really worrying.

Having just experienced the pain of the cemetery, the nerves of everyone in the three schools and five schools were tense, for fear that the queen's apostle would do something unfavorable.

Today's Gu Shen is not just the disciple of the Grand Inquisitor.

In a sense, he is also the banner of Dongzhou, a benchmark figure.

"First time seeing this thing?"

The strong wind swept across, blowing the withered grass on the mountain.

Ajar took off her felt hat, her long hair was blown unceasingly by the wind, she looked at Gu Shen with a smile, saw the exclamation and emotion in Gu Shen's eyes as expected, so she asked with a smile.

"It's the first time I saw it."

Gu Shen murmured: "If I remember correctly... This kind of old-fashioned airship seems to be a product that was popular 300 years ago?"

"The world is both moving forward and backward."

Ajar smiled and said: "Although the old stuff has been eliminated, it is very useful when it is actually used... The number of [Energy Boats] is actually not many, and only those who can mobilize them Powerful, at present, this thing is only produced in large quantities in Beizhou, and it is not sold to other continents."

Gu Shen nodded slightly.

He thought of the mysterious "073" in the Ancient Chinese Society.

If I remember correctly... In the material transaction of Qingzuka Mausoleum, "073" personally drove an energy boat to meet Dadu, but he also heard about that meeting from Lu Nanzhi.

"073" didn't even show a shadow.

The source energy boat just paused slightly on the hilltop of the trading place, hanging above the clouds, and after throwing out the trading items, it drove away leisurely. For "073", it was like going out for a walk... But [Yuan Neng] The driving force is indeed strong, and the transaction was completed extremely fast. After careful calculation, it only took a few hours for "073" to cross two continents.

"You just said... that you only need the person in charge of the fortress if you want to mobilize [Energy Boat]?"

Gu Shen asked curiously.

"Yes... Beizhou has very unique rules of survival."

Ajar looked at Gu Shen, and said seriously: "The bigger the fist, the greater the responsibility. The greater the contribution, the higher the position. It is not difficult to control the [Energy Boat], but the control of these energy sources is extremely strict... Usually, those who have the right to drive are the person in charge of the fortress, the person in charge, and others have no right to control the [Energy Boat].”

Gu Shen squinted his eyes and asked, "Then, does each [Original Energy Boat] have a corresponding number and travel record?"

"of course."

Ajar smiled: "Without the permission of Central City, it would be impossible for the [Original Energy Boat] to leave Beizhou without permission."
