Bulwark of Light

Chapter 676
The Huaqi Group caravan will not stay in the Rhine for too long, and it will return in two days.

Liu Yi looked at the time.

According to the original regulations, the three who left the caravan... Now it's time to come back. If there is no meeting, the caravan will go first.

She wasn't worried about Gu Shen.

With Xiao Gu's style of dealing with the world and his current strength, there are very few people in the vast Central Continent who can cause him trouble.

She was worried about Nan Jin.

She knows better than anyone else the stubborn nature of the Lu family. On this trip to Central Continent, Xiao Lu told his wife to take a look at the Tower of Origin, but is it really that simple?
Just as this thought flashed across Liu Yi's mind, he heard a familiar voice.

"Aunt Liu, I... am back."

This voice sounds very weak.

Liu Yi immediately looked towards the corner vigilantly. Where the voice came from, in the darkness, a figure of a woman in a black robe could be vaguely seen, looking rather bleak and flimsy.

She quickly looked around to confirm that there was no one there, and then walked over quickly.

a close.

Lu Nanjin collapsed in her arms.

Liu Yi carefully uncovered a corner of his clothes. Lu Nanjin was seriously injured, with scarlet wounds on his snow-white skin. Under the flames, the wounds almost stuck to his clothes, emitting a fishy smell.

"How could you be hurt like this?" She was shocked and angry, her tone anxious.

"I had a fight with the genius of the Tower of Origin..." Lu Nanjin said in a hoarse voice, "It's okay, I won't die. I want to find a place to rest, please."

During the two years of retreat, she has changed a lot.

Many years ago, Lu Nanjin was an impatient person who cherished words like gold, but now...with such a serious injury, she is not in a hurry.

Liu Yi quickly supported her and returned to the caravan's residence.

The caravan is equipped with medical personnel in case of emergency, and it is just in time to use it at this moment.

Lu Nanjin was carried to the bed, took off her coat, Liu Yi held her breath.

On Xiaolu's chest, a bloody lotus flower was blooming.

This is a rare burn. This bloody lotus, as she breathes, is constantly flashing its light, and the high temperature is still invading her bone marrow. The team doctor took out the Holy Light Sealed Artifact for treatment, but the effect is minimal.

In addition, her spiritual breath has also become disordered.

What is really deadly is that these scorching air invade the spiritual sea!
After Liu Yi checked, she pushed back everyone, including the caravan team doctor, and then launched her own domain... A flash of spiritual light lit up in front of her forehead, and her [Spiritual Eyes] slowly opened, and countless spiritual powers flowed towards her like flowing water. Landing Nanjin's chest poured away.

She tried to rely on her own strength to heal Lu Nanjin's burns.

The spirit of [Spiritual Eye] is as gentle as a brook.

But... the effect is equally weak!
Just when she was anxious in every possible way, a ray of flames suddenly came and hit Lu Nanjin's eyebrows directly.

There was a crisp sound of "boom".

Like the sound of a clear spring.

The next moment, a chill emanated from the flame.

Liu Yi's eyes widened, she stretched out the palm hanging in front of Xiao Lu's face, and within a few seconds, she felt a distinct chill... This kind of supernatural burn requires great cold to fight against it, To dissolve the heat.

Soon, the blazing heat that shrouded Lu Nanjin's cheeks was dissipated by the chill!

"Gu Shen? You're back!"

She got up hastily.

In the pavilion, at some point, there were two more people.

Gu Shen and Chu Ling appeared here without anyone noticing.

"Aunt Liu...take back your spiritual eyes, and leave the healing to me." Gu Shen came to Liu Yi's side and took over her burden naturally. What the star envoy from Upper City said at the funeral in the small town of Linz.

The senior sister had a fight with the Suzaku envoy.

At this moment, does the "burning intent" that enveloped the senior sister come from that divine envoy?
……

……

Healing didn't take long.

As the king of Hades, Gu Shen is in charge of the fire of the underworld, and heals "spiritual burns", which is easy to grasp.

In addition, he is currently contemplating the breathing method in reverse.

The severe cold among the four seasons is just right to eliminate this burning feeling, and it will get twice the result with half the effort!
After the healing was over, the senior sister fell into a coma... and Liu Yi waited anxiously not far away. She already knew the cause and effect of Nan Jin's injury, and reported the matter to his wife immediately. , Huaqi must take protective measures.

If that Vermillion Bird Divine Envoy chases after him, it will be terrible!
"Aunt Liu."

Gu Shen stood up, and Liu Yi rushed over immediately.

"how?"

"Her injury has stabilized." Gu Shen said, "The person who did it was very powerful."

"Madam said...the caravan will leave tonight, don't stop at the Rhine." Liu Yi asked, "Will this affect your plan?"

What she is in charge of is only the caravan negotiation, and she has limited knowledge about other information.

It's not hard to guess that Gu Shen came to Zhongzhou because of other things.

Just like when Nan Jin came to Central Continent, it was more than just "seeing" the Tower of Origin.

"No problem."

Gu Shen shook his head.

When he came to Central Continent this time, he had already dealt with the most important matters.

It will take some time for Linz's ancient drawings to be slowly digested in the source code database.

Returning to the Rhine this time is to communicate with the "Wind Rose" again and establish the future underground structure of the Zhongzhou Ancient Literature Society.

……

……

On the other side, the Rhine port.

Due to the fire on the "Shorty", the Rhine port was hit hard. The sea of ​​fire had already been extinguished, but there was a layer of scarlet strange substance flowing on the sea.

This is exactly Ye Caroline's brilliance, she did not use her own flames, but fueled Xiao Xiao's "blood fire"!
This special substance can just reveal the identity of the murderer.

At this moment, the wind blows.

Many extraordinary people are carrying the wreckage of the burned freighter. Although the Shorty is destroyed, the later salvage work is still important. In addition to the murderer's clues, the Red Grass Group also needs to recover the "cargo" this time.

"grown ups."

He Chan looked respectful, stood beside the red-robed youth, and said in a low voice, "You are finally here."

In the Rhine, he is a well-deserved king.

The eight-star envoy, with the support of Red Grapes, in the entire eastern part of Central Continent, there are not many extraordinary people with more status than him.

It's just... Compared with this adult who came from the upper city, He Chan is nothing.

This time, it was "Suzaku", one of the four envoys of the Tower of Origin, who came to the Port of Rhine to investigate the case!
In the upper city, there are distinct levels and strict order. The "authority" in the hands of these four envoys is enough to change the order established by any city in Central Continent...

It is true that he is Hongpu in Rhine City, but as long as Suzaku sends a message, Hongpu will immediately abandon him.

Under the huge disparity in status, He Chan did not dare to neglect.

"Such an important 'goods' can be destroyed as soon as it is destroyed."

Suzaku stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the thick sea surface.

He said lightly, causing a lot of cold sweat to ooze from He Chan's back.

"At that time, I was negotiating with Huazhi..." He Chan's voice was hoarse, and he reported truthfully: "Ye Caroline is in charge of guarding the goods."

"Oh?"

Suzaku glanced at Rose who was quietly waiting not far from the pier.

He asked softly, "so, you mean, it's all her fault, right?"

"……Do not."

He Chan realized that he had made a mistake in his answer, and quickly said, "This subordinate didn't mean that, and this subordinate didn't mean to shirk responsibility, this matter..."

"Slap."

Suzaku said this calmly.

He Chan gritted his teeth after listening, and slapped himself hard.

"Not loud enough, try harder."

Suzaku looked at He Chan expressionlessly.

"Snapped!"

This time, he hit hard enough.

The crisp sound could be heard by Ye Caroline on the other side of the pier hundreds of meters away.

He Chan could feel that half of his face, after being slapped, became aching and painful, densely red and swollen like a pinprick.

"The goods are destroyed. You are the person in charge. You have to pay some price... This is considered light." Suzaku said slowly: "All the captains under Rose were killed, and she herself was injured... This is her The price you paid was dripping with blood. Look at yourself, why are you still unscathed? Slap yourself twice, and give me an explanation. Is it very wronged?"

"No, I'm not wronged..."

As if being poured with cold water, He Chan suddenly came to his senses: "Thank you for your reminder, sir, and thank you for your punishment."

Suzaku hummed lightly.

He didn't stay at the pier much, and turned back directly.

Seeing this, He Chan was very surprised, and asked cautiously: "My lord, don't you want to check?"

"How to check?"

Suzaku shook his head, and asked back: "What can we find out just from the viscous material on the sea surface? If this person dares to touch the cargo of red grapes, it means that he is not afraid... neither afraid of our pursuit, nor afraid of leaving behind. evidence."

He Chan was speechless for a while.

"I'm not here to investigate the case. I can't find anything in this case."

Suzaku came to Ye Caroline's side, did not hide the content of the conversation, but said lightly: "Ms. Rose, you have worked hard."

Ye Caroline shook her head.

"I have a question."

Suzaku smiled and said, he stretched out his palm, motioning Ye Caroline to look into his eyes.

The latter cannot be avoided. This is an "invitation" from a high-ranking person, and it has an irresistible majesty.

The two looked at each other.

Ye Caroline saw a blazing scarlet sun in the eyes of the young man in the red robe. The radiance was so dazzling that she was taken away from her mind for a moment and became in a trance.

Suzaku's voice was very soft.

"Excuse me... have you seen the 'cargo' in the freighter?"

He didn't ask about the details like He Chan did.

He didn't care about the dead captain, nor what happened in the freighter——

The wood is done.

What he cares about is whether Ye Caroline knows what kind of deal Red Grape is doing.

As this question was raised, the atmosphere of the scene suddenly became tense.

He Chan's heart rose to his throat.

He knew how "rebellious" what Hongpu did this time... Once this matter is exposed, it is a certainty that he will lose his post as a priest, but it is nothing. The "big man" behind it is really terrible. I am afraid that the entire Tower of Origin will cause a shock!
"goods……"

Ye Caroline shook her head, and said sincerely, "I didn't see it."

This answer made He Chan breathe a sigh of relief.

He patted his chest.

On the other side, Suzaku stared into the eyes of this beautiful woman.

Hmm... from my own mental senses.

She didn't lie.

He showed a bright smile: "Very well, you can go."

……

……

Suzaku stood by the sea for a long time, and He Chan stood here with him.

He didn't dare to fathom the mind of the envoy.

But he had heard about the news from the upper city.

Lord Envoy, in front of the Tower of Origin, fought against Lu Nanjin from Dongzhou, and had a fight... The result of this fight is nothing to say, Lord Envoy won, and it was a big victory!
Lu Nanjin is the sister of the lady in Dadu, so she and Huazhi are naturally inextricably linked.

I had just negotiated a deal with Huaqi on the front foot... Then something like this happened on the back foot.

Master Suzaku God Envoy, did you come to the Rhine because you want to meet the high-ranking officials of the caravan?

"In recent days, the higher-ups have instructed that it is best for the envoys to sit in secluded meditation and avoid going out as much as possible to reduce trouble..."

Suzaku suddenly opened his mouth and asked He Chan beside him, "Do you know why?"

He Chan shook his head.

He didn't dare to nod, let alone answer indiscriminately.

"Because of 'Tinder of Wine'."

Suzaku smiled softly, "Red Dragon, Yunhu, and Xuangui all want to take down this fire seed. We have all passed the first-level trial of the 'Dream of Fire Seed'...but if you want to become a new god, you must at least pass the test." The "divination" level of the prophet. That cunning old guy said that the fortunes of the four of us are all stained with broken Yin and Chaos, and he can't see the fate of any one person, so we need to reduce the cause and effect to facilitate See clearly."

He Chan was a little nervous, is this what he should listen to?

"My lord, if it were you, you would definitely be able to smelt fire."

He thought for a moment and said respectfully.

"idiot."

Suzaku smiled and scolded unceremoniously, "Sitting in Rhine's position, why are you so clueless? Don't you want to offend the other three by saying such things?"

He Chan smirked cooperatively.

If you haven't seen him negotiating with Huazhi, you might be deceived by this honest and harmless appearance.

"It's just that I don't want to 'go against my will'."

Suzaku said slowly: "Since I have seen Lu Nanjin, I can't turn a blind eye to it. If I can't even follow my own heart, what are you talking about 'smelting fire'?"

He practiced in the Tower of Origin. In the early years, when he was not a god envoy, he had a very difficult life.

It was Senior Brother Qin Ye who gave him many resources.

This is how today is.

Qin Ye was kind to him, and he remembered it in his heart, but it was a pity that it was too late to repay... Qin Ye died in Dongzhou.

"Your Excellency is absolutely right."

He Chan bowed his head in agreement, and then slowly asked: "It's just a warning from a prophet. It's not groundless. Your lord should be more careful. I heard that Lu Nanjin has a younger brother who has made an astonishing rise recently. Continental S-Class, the future Grand Adjudicator."

"That person's name is... Gu Shen."

Suzaku opened his mouth lightly.

He glanced at He Chan, and said, "In the future, I will settle the case for Senior Brother Qin Ye, and this Gu can't escape."
