Bulwark of Light

Chapter 529 I am the Queen's Brother

Grand Duke Zhenyue left.

Zhu Xue dragged Lin Lin aside.

"Do you know how much trouble I got into what you just said?"

The content of this sentence looks serious.

But Lin Su's tone of voice was not so serious.

"trouble?"

Lin Lin chuckled, and said lightly, "Because of your status, there are some things you can't say, so I'll say them for you, no need to thank me."

"Meng Xiao is Meng Xizhou's elder brother. You just said it on purpose to push that marriage contract further." Zhu Xue narrowed her eyes: "Do you really want to marry the Goddess of Light?"

"Emotions are things that cannot be forced." Lin Lin smiled and said, "I am willing to dedicate my life to Beizhou and to the frontier. If marriage is part of the devotion, then I will not hesitate...so your previous marriage contract , I didn't directly stand up against it, what if the goddess of light is a proletarian devotee like me? I can only feel wronged. But now it seems that she is different from me, she has her ideal pursuit , I have mine too, the Lin family has thousands of ways to cooperate with Guangming City, why choose the most traditional one?"

"..."

This speech made Lin Su fall into silence.

After a while, he said seriously: "Lin Lin, this time is different. The marriage between you and Meng Xizhou is really important. You will be the strongest union in the past hundred years."

Among the children of the royal family in Central City, there are often young talents.

It is very difficult for someone who has grown up to Lin Lin's level, one of the rare ones, to become a brigadier general at the Beizhou frontier through the high-level public election at the age of 30... The most important thing is that Lin Lin's file He is even more legendary and mysterious than CN021. At present, no one knows that he is the Queen's younger brother. He gave up all pleasures, willing to go to the frontier to guard, and made great achievements.

If this file is made public.

So soon... Lin Lin will have a large number of "crowds". As long as he can become a title, then he will be more likely than Osmond to become the next general.

This is also the reason why Lin Su has been sending out sentries from the Central City to invite Lin Lin back to the capital in recent years.

From Zhu Xue's point of view, the most important thing for Lin Lin is not to defend Gubao.

It is true that it is the most dangerous area on the frontier of Beizhou, but now there are many extraordinary people in the legion who can lead the troops and resist the wind and snow... Gubao can change its guardian.

The most urgent task is to return to the central city and improve the realm!
Lin Lin has done enough in the frontier in the past few years!

"It's useless to say more... I know you, and it's useless to say more."

Grand Duke Zhuxue looked at Lin Lin's nonchalant face, sighed softly, and said, "I know what you are coming here for, take some time and go see your sister."

……

……

Everyone left.

But Gu Shen didn't leave, he was waiting for Lin Lin on the rooftop.

Thinking back to the scene of Meng Xiao leaving earlier, Gu Shen really felt like laughing. The Grand Duke Zhenyue was very angry and embarrassed when he left... because Lin Lin's words made him lose a lot of face , Responding is not, and not responding is not, I can only leave the table angrily.

It's hard to imagine that Lin Lin, who is usually dignified and serious, would burst out obscene words like shit and fart while eating.

Is this guy really "Royal"?

It has long been heard that Meng Xiao is ruthless in the fief, but today...in the Central City, there are still some things that cannot be done.

In a word, Grand Duke Zhenyue was speechless.

It is a famous scene worth remembering.

But it is worth pondering, was Meng Xiao afraid of Lin Lin or Zhu Xue when he left the banquet at the end?
Or... an existence hidden in the depths?
The broken snow on the roof was blown up by the wind, Lin Lin pushed the door out, looking unhappy, [Deep Sea] automatically drove the airship to the edge of the top floor of the giant building, and slowly descended the vertical ladder.

Gu Shen was in a good mood, and asked with a smile, "Tsk tsk, did you get scolded for what happened just now?"

"No, you think highly of Meng Xiao. His business is nothing. What happened just now is over. He doesn't even have the right to occupy one more second of my life." Lin Lin said lightly, "Get on board."

……

……

Because of the existence of the "melting furnace", Beizhou solved the biggest energy problem, and also solved the severe cold problem of the harsh climate. With the development of technology, the mainstream means of transportation in Central City have also undergone corresponding changes.

Today, there are many small private airships moored in this giant city.

Lin Lin's "military energy boat", even if it is the smallest model, is far superior in size and performance to these small boats.

In the night, the silhouettes of the private small boats extinguishing the fire can be seen faintly, like symbols of tranquility, and the palm of [Deep Sea] hangs above the zenith, like pressing on a closed piano.

Gu Shen sat by the window, watching the scene.

The streamer of the long night, overflowing on the dome, and the neon lights of the suspended giant buildings make this night scene more unreal. The balance of [Deep Sea] is really successful, and the people of different continents are completely different. Learn about the technology and people's livelihood in another continent, all of which are as beautiful as false dreams, and [Deep Sea] is the big hand that covers the dreams.

"Did you know that there are now more than 6000 'small boats' in Central City?"

Lin Lin said softly: "In Beizhou, small boats are not affordable for ordinary people. They need to pass the 'deep sea' mock exam and get the 'Energy Boat Driving Qualification Certificate'. Besides, a small boat The lowest price of a boat is seven figures, berthing fee, fuel fee, insurance fee, plus purchase tax... Only a very small number of 'rich' can afford this thing."

Gu Shen was a little dazed after hearing the words.

Money... These vulgar things have long lost their meaning to him.

After becoming a Transcendent, he no longer pursued these things, but he still had the basic concept of money.

"There are [-] small boats in Central City?" Gu Shen looked surprised.

He looked at the shadows moored in the night again, and it was difficult to connect the small boats with the piano keys... One boat is worth millions, and the rows and rows are all symbols of status and status.

"To be precise, six thousand three hundred and twenty four ships." Chu Ling reported the results seriously in Gu Shen's mind at this moment: "I just connected to the grassroots network of Beizhou [Deep Water Area], and the central city has managed all the rights of these small boats. Put it there, in theory, I can hack into the private network of any private small boat, do you want to try it?"

As expected of [Source Code]... Even though [Deep Sea] has been upgrading itself and changing the code over the years, as long as the logic of the basic network remains unchanged, then Chu Ling will always have his own living space.

"You can try it if you have a chance." Gu Shen responded from his heart.

"More interesting things come later. As far as I know, there are only a few hundred owners of these 6000-odd energy boats." Lin Lin said indifferently: "The ones who can afford this thing... are either 'crossover boats. The corporate giants of Beizhou Company', or special transcendental beings who work closely with Beizhou, most of the wealth in this world is in the hands of very few people."

"The exact number is: 930 people per person." Chu Ling reminded again: "It is worth mentioning that, under the name of Huaqi Group alone, Lu Nanzhi owns 35 private energy boats."

Gu Shen: "..."

Huaqi is the world's top transcontinental company. It has supported the economy of the metropolitan area by itself, and it is still developing at a high speed. Aside from the private research project of the Awakening Act, it also has extremely strong strength. In Lu Nanzhi and Under Zhao Xilai's years of management, this can already be said to be a well-deserved "oligarch company".

"The 'oligarchs' of the five continents all like to come to Beizhou, especially Zhongzhou. Most of the suspended buildings here come from Zhongzhou."

Lin Lin said slowly: "The corporate tax rate here is low, and the labor force is cheap. Because of years of war, the level of technology is uneven, the military is advanced in technology but the people's livelihood technology is backward, so the royal family will give certain preferential policies to outsiders... In addition In addition, the burning of the 'melting furnace' requires them to share the pressure. They have built a number of suspended buildings here, providing a large number of jobs, which is why the 'Central City' is now thriving. But all this prosperity is in Beizhou In the eyes of high-level officials, it seems false, Beizhou is burning for the whole world, but its people don’t get too much heat.”

Some things are too real.

The truth is silent.

Gu Shen didn't know what to say for a moment.

"It's like... a frontier, a fortress."

Lin Lin was driving the airship. This time he did not use the autopilot, but operated it himself, "I remember what you said on the giant wall last time. Everything in the world will eventually die, not just human beings. The storm will disappear. The sea water will dry up, so one day, the furnace under the central city will go out... And at that time, I don't want Beizhou to be burned into charcoal, nothing will exist, only a few suspended buildings, and the people who have been swallowed The empty shell of a sincere soul."

The shadows of those small boats could no longer be seen in the distant sky.

However, one can vaguely see military energy boats hovering higher and deeper in the clouds.

"Lin Lin is heading for the Queen's residence."

Chu Ling's tone was serious, and he reminded: "This is a dangerous behavior... It is expected to be intercepted in five seconds..."

"Five, four..."

"Three, two, one."

During the short five seconds, Gu Shen followed his intuition, did not speak, and did not block the airship. He quietly looked out of the window, watching the clouds whizzing by, and a bright light flashed. The [Sky Eye] came to capture the picture of the comer.

But this time, Chu Ling's warning failed.

There are no warnings and no interceptions.

Nothing at all.

It was a quiet and beautiful night, and Lin Lin's energy boat sailed into the airspace of the Queen's Manor without hindrance.

Gu Shen silently looked out the window.

He seemed to see someone saluting at the sentry not far away.

At this moment, Gu Shen's mood is very complicated.

I still underestimated Lin Lin.

Who would have thought that this guy could drive an airship directly into such a place?

Lin Lin gave Gu Shen several seconds to react, and then said in the calmest tone: "Hey, don't look, we've arrived at our destination...get off the boat."

……

……

The sentries in the manor lined up and stood respectfully.

No one would have thought that there would be such a guest tonight... no, it would be two.

Gu Shen, Lin Lin...

Or, to be more precise, three?
Beside Lin Lin, the vicious Labrador dog who had been airsick and lacking energy finally got better at the moment. It stuck out its tongue and looked at the group of sentries with an excited smile, because it found several familiar faces...

The sentries who rested after the ceremony looked nervous, and some of them were extremely nervous, and their complexions were faintly pale.

They really can't forget the nightmare they encountered when they were sent by the Grand Duke Zhuxue to carry out missions in Gubao Fortress. After a few years, the vicious dog seemed to grow taller, stronger and more perverted.

But tonight's guests don't seem to have too many plans.

Lin Lin and Gu Shen entered the manor directly, and walked all the way to Her Majesty's residence. They had already received orders, and they didn't need to stop them, they let them go all the way.

Gu Shen once saw the temples built by fanatics in Xiyin City, Nanzhou, with their painstaking efforts and gold and silver. It is the "faith" poured out of everything, and it is a sacred building that cannot be desecrated.

At this moment, the Queen's Manor is even more magnificent, more magnificent, and even more shocking.

600 years ago, the first emperor of Beizhou established this manor here. Since then, the throne has changed hands and the crown has changed, but this manor has never changed... It is a symbol of Beizhou's imperial power and a 600-year-old faithful witness.

A piece of oil painting.

There are long corridors.

Both Gu Shen and Chu Ling remained silent. This is the highest respect for this "sacred place in Beizhou". Even if you search the [source code], you can't find any specific information about this manor. Those who are eligible to visit here Everyone, all of them are honored guests invited by the Queen.

This is something that many Beizhou people are proud of all their lives.

But Lin Lin... just came in like this.

Take a stroll.

Lin Lin brought Gu Shen to an ancient castle. He stopped, turned his head slowly, looked at Gu Shen who hadn't said a word along the way, and said slowly, "You said it more than once before... you're curious about my identity."

He said softly: "And I have always said that my identity is not important, and I can't actually say that... For me, this identity is not important, and it is far less important than the garrison of Gubao. But in Zhuxue, and other From the perspective of some insiders, this identity is more important than the guardian of Citadel."

The gate of the Queen's Castle slowly opened.

Ajar, and a purple-haired woman wearing the investigation corps cloak, stood under the light behind the castle gate.

"I am the blood flower of the central city emperor, the ruler of Beizhou's melting pot, and the watchman who dedicated his heart to this land when he was born..."

Lin Lin no longer hides her identity: "I am... the younger brother of the Queen of Beizhou."
