Beauty Steals the Country [End Times]

The Ancestors themselves are single and weak, and can gain the upper hand many times, either by gathering crowds to commit murder, or by commanding wild beasts.The siege of Ganluo City this time, including the ancestors, has a total of less than 300 people, relying on the first batch of beasts extradited from the South African prairie. For the sake of safety, the group of Zhancheng robbed the money He returned to the forest where he was temporarily stationed outside the city.

Jiang Qi and the two were locked in a simple tent, their hands and feet were tied, and there was only one guard outside the door, and the guarding was very loose... Maybe they felt that there were wild animals in the mountains around the camp, so they didn't dare to run around.

The two sat back to back on chairs in the makeshift cell.

When Liu Shuhua was about to arrest someone, Lu Ya and the others changed their faces slightly, and stood beside the two of them calmly—with the strength of these people, they protected the two city lords and took Liu Shuhua out of the city by the way. There are still some odds.But Jiang Qi gave him a calm and calm expression, Mu Xishan also instantly understood Jiang Qi's plan to take the risk, motioned to Lu Ya, and glanced at Ata and Dad.Lu Ya is also a smart person, he leaned his hand behind his back and made a gesture, and the positions of several people subtly changed, from protecting Jiang Qi and Jiang Qi to protecting Atta and Dad between Jiang Qi and them.

Before Ata's father figured it out, Liu Shuhua withdrew his skeptical eyes, thinking that these people were Ata's father's guards and had little to do with Jiang Qi and the others.

——Besides Liu Shuhua not being smart and prudent enough to think this way, it also has something to do with the leader, Lu Ya.Lu Ya's ancestral home is in the westernmost base in the north, close to the Stan Joint Camp. The blood in the base is often mixed. He is lean and dark-skinned. , In order to facilitate things, I changed into local clothes.

"What are your plans?"

Liu Shuhua and others caught them back and tied them up, then went to do other things, and there were only the two of them left in the tent... After Mu Xishan asked, his back suddenly felt heavy, and the man behind him leaned back and leaned against his On the back, "...huh?" He tilted his head while muttering a vague syllable, and his breath sprayed on Mu Xishan's earlobe, which was hot and itchy, making him very uncomfortable.

Mu Xishan turned his head away, and a chuckle suddenly sounded in his ears. The laughter was a bit soft and indulgent. Unless Jiang Qi's temperament changed drastically, it would definitely not be such a voice.

For a moment, Mu Xishan felt a shivering feeling from his spine along the backs of the two of them. Turning his head to look at it, the other party had already raised his head and stopped teasing him. Mu Xishan's limit of twisting his neck was only [-] degrees. At the edge of his field of vision, he could only vaguely see the tip of his nose and the drooping eyelashes when his eyes were slightly closed.

"you……"

"...How much do you remember about the orcs?" The elegant aristocratic pronunciation spoke the common language of later generations, and Mu Xishan knew that there was no need to ask further questions.

Mu Xishan's ten fingers were intertwined. Facing Simon, he was always a little strange... He wanted to express a lot, but his voice was congested and blocked in his throat. After a long silence, only a cloud of breath remained, slipping out of his throat.He can always get along with Jiang Qi with ease, walk side by side, get along comfortably, and not be bound by each other's feelings.He could shatter Xi Shan's memory without hesitation, not because he didn't shake Xi Shan's feelings, but after the shock, he still didn't develop any extra feelings for this shadow of Simon that he had never been in contact with.

Only Simon—

This life mentor who has dominated his life for a long time, he once admired this person so much that he almost regarded him as a spiritual pillar.When he had a new life, he was like all the young birds who left home and spread their wings, leaving Simon behind - it was like putting a box in his heart, keeping the past treasured and sealed in the bottom of his heart... But in the end, It is different from others.

After a long time, Mu Xishan squeezed out a sentence with a dry voice:

"I thought you never intended to appear in front of me."

"...It's not that I don't want to see you, my dear." Simon was always full of patience with Mu Xishan, with a subconscious elder tone, "You know, I just can't pass my own test... I never Unexpectedly, I will succumb to the despicable human nature one day, I thought, I can always restrain it-my untimely greed."

"you……"

"I'm not as invulnerable as the world thinks. Those people used to regard me as a god, but after all, I'm just a vulgar mortal, with selfish desires and timidity... Heh." Simon chuckled again, his tone There is something indescribable, similar to self-deprecation, and regret, "I am always very timid when facing you now. Even if Jiang Qi needs my help... I always hesitate to face you head-on. Fortunately, it is now like this ..."

Simon lay down on Mu Xishan's back again, and his head rested on the back of Mu Xishan's head, so that Mu Xishan could clearly feel the weight of Simon falling... so close.

The two fell silent again, and after a while, Simon picked up the old topic again——

"The orcs look like humans, but they can't practice magic, and they can't practice fighting spirit. All their strength comes from their natural blood. Therefore, among the orcs, only those who have awakened their blood can be officially accepted by the tribe and start to choose the direction of cultivation. "

"The direction of practice can be roughly divided into two categories."

"One is the self-cultivation faction, who use the secret method to sign contracted beasts, and protect themselves by summoning contracted beasts every time they fight. The more outstanding their own abilities, the more contracted beasts they can summon. Choose to cultivate the soul, through killing and devouring the energy of monsters, cultivate a soul beast, and then achieve a beast shape, which can be freely converted between human and beast forms."

"The published historical materials are not perfect. In the royal secret volume, the origin of the orc lineage is recorded... The earliest orc is a variant of human beings, and it is recorded as a 'human with a beast shape'. The characteristics of both humans and beasts are manifested in the external form at the same time. In fact, because of this, they were feared and oppressed by human beings until the mystery of their bodies was discovered. Originally, some forces wanted to activate the blood of the "beast" to create more powerful human weapons, but unexpectedly discovered that they had the ability to communicate with wild beasts, and The ability to drive wild beasts."

Simon stopped at this point, leaving enough time for Mu Xishan to think.

"...When I was escorted in just now, I saw a few supernatural beings among the human beings, all of whom had union certification marks on their hands...so..." Mu Xishan seemed to have thought of something, for example, the behind-the-scenes driving force of the returning ancestor incident was The union, and where did the union get the way for the atavus to control the beast—

Simon continued to say at this time: "...In the past, as a child of light, I have mastered a wealth of knowledge. It is my talent to absorb power, but I am not as good as Shadow for the research ability of secret contracts...he is worse than me and you. I came here earlier, and I still have a high status in the union of supernatural beings."

"You mean, the secret of the awakening of the orcs is related to Xi Shan?"

"I've read some of the memories that Jiang Qi showed me. Among them, there were many doubts during the northern meeting... When the black crystal stone appeared in the north, Jiang Qi doubted Xi Shan, but it was just that there was no progress afterwards. And the black crystal The characteristics of the stone have a strong penetrating and splitting ability, and can be used to break harmful components in a rough way, which is not as gentle as detoxifying holy products. But it is incomparable to the ability to split mixed things into two components.” Simon's last sentence seemed to be leading Mu Xishan to make some kind of inference.

"...In the public history of the orcs, 'the ancestor of the orcs is not a human-animal body, but has both animal and human forms, which can be converted into each other. With reproduction, the power of the blood is getting weaker and weaker, and it needs to be awakened to have summoning or Transformation ability, otherwise you can only communicate with beasts' That is to say, if Xi Shan is involved in this matter—"

Mu Xishan said, looking down, thinking of something, "I remember the experiments at that time proved that black spar can detoxify, but it is only ineffective against mosquito poison, but it will increase the activity of mosquito poison. After the blood, the mosquitoes mutate, and the mosquito venom remains in the bloodline reproduction—to put it another way, black crystals can not only increase the activity of mosquito venom, but also the activity of other genetic components in the bloodline—refer to the royal family The content of the secret volume. The trade union experimented with black spar, and failed to study the enhancement of supernatural powers. It was used on orcs, but it activated the "beast" nature in the blood. This is also the secret of the ancestors commanding the beasts. According to the history of the orcs, If we study further, the trade union can even use the characteristics of black spar to separate the 'beast' and 'human' in the blood, as recorded in the book, it can freely switch between the human form and the animal form."

"Xi Shan is always good at research on this kind of thing." Simon reminded, "If there are no accidents, history will develop like this."

And history is irreversible and inertial.It can be accelerated, one or two steps ahead, but the essence and established direction cannot be changed after all.

In other words, the rise of the orcs is inevitable and unstoppable—and the trouble is that the lifeblood of the orcs is pinched in the hands of the trade unions, which are completely opposed to the North.So what role did Liu Shuhua and Xi Shan play in it, and what is the purpose of the trade union?Is the plot related to Huaxia?

Simon seemed to be able to guess Mu Xishan's thoughts, "In fact, the key to everything lies in Xi Shan. I can be said to be the person who understands Xi Shan best..."

Next, according to Jiang Qi's memory, Simon will analyze the situation of several meetings and exchanges with Mu Xishan and Xi Shan:

"From the first meeting between you and Xi Shan, the conflict over the runes, to the black crystal-related incidents, and the refining of the living dead into monsters... What is the purpose of Xi Shan's participation? Or, he is behind the scenes Pushing what?"

"When you meditated for the first time, you saw that the 'Muxi Mountain' in the past had hidden the holy book, because when he used meditation, he saw a mirror reminding him that shadows will replace light, bringing uncertainty to the monarchy, and The shadow is beside him... that is Xi Shan."

"To sum up the above two points, Xi Shan's behind-the-scenes planning may be to replace Jiang Qi, or the interests represented by Jiang Qi's establishment of the country. And what is his reason for doing so?"

Simon paused for a moment, and the eloquent voice began to be mixed with complex emotions:

"You have read the shadow's memory, and you should know that he became Xi Shan for you." Simon's voice was full of hurtful sighs, "In the last life, my feelings for you gave birth to him and became my The shadow spirit in his heart, your existence is all his obsession. In order to resurrect you with the power of darkness, he burned down the statues of light in the entire continent. In order to travel through time and space, his soul was sacrificed in the abyss for hundreds of years... Then he came here and lodged in Jiang Qi's shadow."

"In the beginning, he was still looking for you aimlessly, but he gradually forgot about the past. He said that he was tired of looking for the obsession in his heart, which was not his true feelings... When you first met, he Said the moon was ugly, but at that time he had forgotten the beautiful double moons in his previous life, but he still hated the single moon. This is Xi Shan's subconscious nostalgia for the past. So, what he is tired of is not looking for obsessions, but tired of forgetting obsessions. Thinking about himself... because it means that he has lost the meaning of his coming here and the belief that supported him."

"So, he needs a new support point, and then he finds a goal for himself, which is in line with his nature."

Mu Xishan suddenly thought of what Xi Shan once asked him: "...do you think I would be willing to linger in the shadow of others?"Sooner or later, I will appear here with a brand new look one day, as long as I get enough power! '

"After Xi Shan stopped looking for obsessions, he chose to find power to resurrect, and as a monster born from the dark side of human nature, the way for him to gain power is to encourage evil."

Simon explained the conjecture in Mu Xishan's heart, but this is also the point that Mu Xishan is most confused about. It is true that Xi Shan encourages evil for the sake of power, but in the events he leads, whether it is researching magic words, creating monsters, or black crystals Giants and orcs are both in line with the historical process, so what does it have to do with evil?Thinking of this, Mu Xishan asked.

Simon was suddenly silent for a long time.

After a long time, his voice seemed a little ethereal, as if suspended in the air, with a sense of unreality.

"There are two most powerful energy aggregates in the world, divided into light and darkness. One brings together all the positive and beautiful energies in the world, and the other brings together all the negative and dark energies in the world. Darkness and light are in contrast to each other, never Birth is immortal, but there is prosperity and decline. The disaster year is a dark year. The whole mainland society collapses and morality is degraded. However, it is prosperous before the disaster, and the reconstruction after the disaster is a bright year... like a rotating gear, prosperity and decline. Rotation."

Simon thought of the previous life where the shadows burned down all the statues of the gods of light, causing the darkness to fall early, and sighed slightly, "Shadows are always unable to see through, and they became sacrifices that were crushed under the gears."

"According to theory, the year after the disaster is the year of light, and the founding monarch is the family of light, that is, Jiang Qi. Originally, the existence of Muxi Mountain was to assist Jiang Qi. But the dark force sent the shadow spirit here with no good intentions. So cunningly let him forget the past. So Xi Shan has a new goal, to replace Jiang Qi, so he stands on the opposite side of Jiang Qi, and the trade union, looking for rune is also to strengthen the new human class."

"The new human race is a product of disaster, a relic of the dark age, sooner or later abandoned by the light age, destined to be annihilated in history. After the darkness intervenes, it shakes the orthodox position, fosters hostile forces, and goes against the trend."

"The power of light has been corrected, so Jiang Qi first grabbed the holy book, and by chance, it came into your hands from time travel, and it played a role."

Mu Xishan suddenly thought that Xi Shan could only come out around the full moon before, because at that time the yin force was strong and there was darkness to support it.And Xi Shan always wraps his body tightly, and he will be burned when he encounters light, so he should also be repelled by the "light".And he suddenly remembered that when he first came here, he asked the holy book why he went back 1000 years ago?The Holy Book replied: 〖Because of the light—〗 Then a picture flashed in his mind, which was a three-legged golden bird singing into the air.

"Three-legged golden bird chirping into the air—what does it mean?"

"When studying ancient runic texts, there is an old saying: there is a black bird in the sun. It means that there is a black bird in the light, and it means that there is a shadow in the light. The black bird is a three-legged crow, known as the sun god bird, shaped like A three-legged crow. The three-legged crow turns into a golden feather, which is equivalent to covering the darkness with light, and it sings to the sky, which is a cry, and it also means awakening."

So...he traveled across and encountered the holy book, all in order to break the trap set by the dark forces.

Mu Xishan is still thinking about the antecedents, and Simon has already concluded the result: "We can't get involved in the battle between light and darkness, but it is easy to interfere with Xi Shan... The inertia of history is that as long as a new country is established, it doesn't matter if the person in power is Chiang Kai-shek." Qi, or the trade union. It is secretly actively promoting the growth of the forces hostile to the future monarch, and Xi Shan is the one who promotes this."

"If you want to break the hierarchy, achieve harmony and unify, and weaken the power of trade unions, Xi Shan's choice is the key." Simon reminded, "Don't forget the War of Warcraft."

Mu Xishan was slightly stunned... In the history of later generations, the demons and the orcs were allies who fought side by side at the beginning, but later forged hatred because of the sharing of interests. Now, if the orcs really rose under the impetus of Xi Shan as they guessed, And the monster is also held in Xi Shan's hands.Xi Shan can make monsters and orcs join forces, or...

Let Xi Shan stand on their side, use monsters to fight against the orc forces, and solve the current predicament and future resistance... Whether Xi Shan chooses the former or the latter, it is in line with the historical inertia of war between monsters.

"He can not support Jiang Qi, or he can abandon the union at will, but the only thing he won't do is endanger you." Simon said, his tone was a bit difficult, "You can give Xi Shan a chance to jump out of the 'gear'. "

Simon turned his face sideways, their noses were facing each other, and their eyes met.

Mu Xishan could see the edge of those blue eyes, that layer of green—the tears he once flowed into Simon's eyes, stemming from remorse, the remorse that he could only watch Simon die.

Simon said: "As long as you want." All the unfinished words were expressed in those eyes.

No more timidity, so firmly and intently staring at Mu Xishan's sight, telling Mu Xishan: As long as you are willing...Xi Shan is the obsession in Simon's heart. Xi Shan loves Mu Xishan as much as Simon loves Mu Xishan. Simon is willing to fulfill any wish of Mu Xishan, and Xi Shan will definitely have this kind of remnant... Even if he loses his memory, he can't erase the nearly [-] million days and nights he spent in the magma of the abyss, and the love that melted into his soul.

At this time, several footsteps outside the tent gradually approached, and the curtain was lifted and walked in. The one at the head pointed to the blond man and said to the attendant behind him:

"Take him to Mr. Liu."

The blond man closed his eyes, and opened them again after a while. There was no blue color, only pure blue, like the sea.
