Twilight Speaker

Chapter 164 Return to reality, sailing soon

11 month 7 day.

Half a month has passed. The prosperity of the capital has passed, the city center has become a complete ruin, and the palace is being rebuilt.

"Since that day, the city center has been used as a temporary refugee camp. For these ordinary people, even though God has done his best to contain the aftermath, it is still a devastating disaster."

Standing on the top of the still intact building, Lu Sarah spoke softly:
"Oh, by the way, half a month ago, the divine corpse in the palace and you."

He looked at Chen Xiang.

Chen Xiang shook his head slightly, without explaining, but asked calmly:

"Did anything special happen while I was away?"

"Wei Qingqiu was imprisoned in the palace. Although he was not sent to the deep sea as originally planned due to this sudden incident, he will be sent soon, probably in the next two days."

"That Wei Tuantuan, the Lord of Donghong just made her a Grand Duke and placed her under house arrest in the palace."

Sarah's expression was slightly solemn:

"The Lord of Donghong, that is, the Great Emperor, has a very serious problem. He is too powerful. Primal Fear was on the verge of death at that time. Now he is recovering from his injuries. The castle has fallen, but fortunately the Great Emperor did not continue to target him. Now the fallen castle is in the far suburbs of the capital and is still a forbidden place for living beings."

As he spoke, Lu Sarah turned his head and stared at Chen Xiang:

"What happened in the palace? In the past few days, all the countries have been actively trying to make friends with Donghong Country. Several kings have visited in person to inquire about the sudden change in the divine skeleton."

Chen Xiang pondered for a moment, without explaining too much, and just said softly:

"I met a man in the mausoleum."

"Hmm?" Louisa asked in confusion.

"He calls himself Wei Hong, the true ruler of Donghong State, and the true emperor."

Hearing this, Luzalem's face changed.

Chen Xiang gave a brief account of everything except the divine bones, and Lu Sarah's face turned frighteningly ugly:

"So this unknown person, this imposter, has been lurking in the parliament for more than a thousand years?"

"Actually not."

Chen Xiang waved his hand:

"Didn't you say before that during the battle, the Lord of Donghong suddenly became stronger? In fact, it was from that time that the 'Lord of Donghong' was replaced."

Lu Sarah was stunned:

"I do not really get it."

Chen Xiang put it succinctly:
“Falsification of history.”

Sarah's pupils suddenly shrank.

Silent for a long time,
He asked thoughtfully:

"So what's next? What are you going to do?"

"The original Great Emperor was not a good person either. All seven of his sons were sacrificed and he summoned the Old Evil God. It's not his fault. At that time, the Old Lord had not yet been beaten into an Evil God."

Chen Xiang said calmly:
"During the time I was away, I went to see my teacher. My teacher told me that the old evil god must not come back, absolutely not."

As he spoke, he lowered his eyelids slightly to hide the violent look in his eyes—Dusk was completely wiped out, and they still wanted to come out? ?
Ah.

Sarah was thoughtful:
"But the fake emperor is now so powerful that if he still intends to summon the old evil gods, unless the speaker takes action personally, otherwise..."

After closing his eyes and pondering for a moment, Chen Xiang exhaled softly:
"Teacher, he is not in good condition at the moment. Something has happened. He is..."

He was about to make up an incident in the subspace, but he didn't expect that Sarah nodded directly:
"I have heard about this matter. The Speaker returned to the Abyss Dimension and started a divine war with the Lord of the Abyss again. The entire Abyss Dimension was almost shattered!"

Chen Xiang was stunned, a smile flashed across his face, Di Tan, ah Di Tan.
Without further explanation, he said:

"In short, the teacher is not convenient to show up in the world, so we are the only ones left for the time being. We cannot directly confront the imposter at the moment, so I will follow Xiao Wei to see the so-called taboo first."

Sarah frowned and said:

"The Donghong Kingdom will not let you follow the ship directly. Do you plan to follow from far behind? This will be easily discovered. If the counterfeit really intends to summon the Old Evil God, he will definitely pay close attention to this matter."

Chen Xiang thought for a moment and asked:
"Are there any countries or cities near the location of the taboo? If so, those countries and cities will always trade with Donghong Country, right?"

"Indeed."

As the founder of a great city, Jerusalem naturally knew the world situation very well. He briefly said:

"The taboo of accepting sacrifices is called Dimension Shadow. According to the current information, it has been secluded in the far north for many years. There is a large island nearby. There is an independent city on it similar to the Great City, but it is relatively weak, so it is not among the ranks of the Nine Countries and One City."

After a pause, he continued to narrate:

"That city is called Golden City. Although it is small, it has a special status and can be said to be a global trade center. Donghong Country naturally has sea routes with it, but..."

"But what?" Chen Xiang asked curiously.

Luzar shook his head and said:
"Wei Qingqiu will be sent away in the next few days. It will be difficult to join a merchant ship on the same route quietly and low-key in such a short time. After all, the capital is on high alert right now, and counterfeiters are always on the lookout."

Chen Xiang pondered for a moment, then thought of someone and a smile appeared on his face:

"Well, that may not be the case. I met a little guy in the palace that day. It seems that his family is engaged in shipping and trade business. This should be an opportunity."

After talking with Sarah for a while, Chen Xiang hurried to the outskirts of the capital - not to the fallen castle, which must be under surveillance now.

He rushed to a desolate mountain range, in a valley beside a river, where the primitive fear was recovering.

After briefly describing the general situation, Chen Xiang said:

"In two days - or three days, I will go out to sea. Will you come with me? If I stay here to recuperate, I might be discovered by that impostor."

"Go to sea?"

Primal Fear hesitated for a moment and said tiredly:
"Of course I can only follow you. My injuries are too severe."

"I'll let you know in advance, but you have to change your appearance, at least act like a human being. Keeping a low profile is the most important thing right now. By the way, I have a favor to ask of you in the next two days."

Chen Xiang waved his hand, and Lu Sangdou's residual soul reappeared: "Help me to complete her soul and rebuild her body. I will come to pick you up in two days."

"can."

After leaving the valley, Chen Xiang rushed back to the capital without stopping.

………………

Capital border port.

This place is far away from the city center and the royal palace, so it was not affected by the major incident half a month ago. There are even more people here than before. Many refugees have come to the border port area, and many tents have been set up as refugee camps.

There are too many displaced people.

Most refugee camps are located in remote parks or poor areas in the border port area, while it is strictly forbidden to build refugee camps in prosperous areas near the sea.

The dividing line between the prosperous area and the refugee area is the tallest building in the entire border port area - the Chu Building belonging to the Chu Group.

The Chu Group is the company that pays the most taxes in the Biangang District every year. It ranks among the top three in the entire capital and even the entire Donghong Country. It is an absolute behemoth.

It can be said that the entire border port area is named "Chu".

At this moment, inside the Chu Building.

"The capital has been in chaos these days, you all should go out and take shelter."

The head of the Chu Group, Chu Tianshan, was leaning on a sofa that was cut and carved from a whole piece of nanmu wood, with his legs crossed and his hands on his knees, looking very majestic.

He spoke calmly to his three children:
"All of you should follow the ship and take a look at the route. I have had this idea for a long time. It just so happens that the capital has been in turmoil, so it is time to train you."

The three children looked at each other, and Chu Lu said with a bitter face:

"Dad, the Misty Sea is too dangerous."

"Danger?"

Chu Tianshan shook his head:

"I made my fortune in the Misty Sea and have come this far step by step. You all should understand the principle that jade cannot be made into a useful object without being polished. This time, each of you three will be responsible for a trade route, and the one who performs best..."

After a pause, he looked sharp:
"You will be the first successor to the Chu family."

The three young men and women's breathing suddenly became rapid and their eyes lit up.

Chu Tianshan threw down three wooden signs and continued:
"Don't be happy too soon. I have prepared a route for each of you. The Golden City, Storm Country, and Great City are the three most dangerous routes of all. I can tell you clearly."

He looked around at his three sons and daughters, who all looked distraught:
"I've already prepared to hold a funeral for you. One, two, or even all of you, I can accept it calmly. The Chu family doesn't support useless people. If you all die at sea, your mother and I can still live. Okay, go and prepare yourself. Go sail for me in three days and choose your own route."

After saying that, Chu Tianshan, wearing a cloak, strode away, leaving the three young men and women looking at each other in bewilderment.

"I'm going to the Great City!" The eldest brother was quick to snatch the wooden sign with the Great City written on it.

"I'm going to the Storm Country!" Although the second child was a woman, she reacted quickly and pressed the wooden sign of the Storm Country in the first place.

Although all three routes are extremely dangerous, the most dangerous one is undoubtedly the one to the Golden Kingdom in the Far North.
"Fuck!" The third brother Chu Lu realized it later and slammed the table and stood up: "You gave the most dangerous one to the youngest? That's too much! No, big brother, I have to go to the Great City, I..."

The eldest and the second oldest ran away.

Chu Lu's eyelids twitched wildly. He picked up the wooden sign with the word "Golden City" written on it, and his heart sank - it was all over.

The Golden City Route is the most dangerous, and the reason is very simple.
There is a 'ghost ship' haunted.

Just as Chu Lu was in a daze, an employee knocked on the door and came in:

"Third Master, there is a visitor on the first floor. He says he is your friend, named Chen Xiang."

"Chen Xiang?"

Chu Lu, who was at a loss, came back to his senses, chewed on the name for a moment, slapped his head suddenly, and remembered the god he met in the palace:
"Quick, ask him to come up, remember, please!"

…………

…………

It was already evening when Chen Xiang left the Chu Building.

Chu Lu walked him downstairs, rubbing his hands and smiling:

"I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. I was just about to take the Golden City route and you, Brother Chen, are here."

After a pause, he came forward with a smile on his face:

"Yes, that Lord Lu. Do you want to go?"

Chen Xiang said happily:
"Sure."

Chu Lu's eyes lit up and he smiled:

"Okay, okay, let's go. Brother Chen, how about staying here for a night? It's almost dawn now, and it's quite chaotic outside. There are many unruly people among the refugees."

"fine."

Chen Xiang smiled and declined:

"Okay, Mr. Chu, you don't have to see me off. Let's meet in three days?"

"Okay, okay!" Chu Lu nodded repeatedly, and happily sent Chen Xiang to the end of the street before turning back.

Seeing Chu Lu returned to the Chu Building, Chen Xiang checked the time.

23: 57.

That's just right.

I turned into the alley on the side and just stopped, I heard a sound like a huge bell ringing in my mind.

"Regular meeting is held!"

Chen Xiang narrowed his eyes slightly.

(Adjustments completed, three updates will be resumed tomorrow, and they will be updated together)
