Gladys finally walked into the room, closed the door, and cast an isolation spell in the room, and a relatively isolated secret room was formed.The four people sat on the four sides of the square table, and the meeting was considered open.

"Nuo Ning, your body...?" Just sitting down, Simon was not as restrained as outside, and asked by his name. "Do you need me to send the military doctor over?"

"I'm fine." Nuo Ning turned his head to look at the inner layer of his slightly injured left hand, and there was no trace on the surface.There was nothing wrong with him, it was just an exaggeration.He smiled apologetically: "It's about arriving this morning. I'm sorry for making you wait so long."

"It's fine." Simon thought that it would not be a good thing for the general to be injured before the fight started. The crowd is prone to anger, and losing his mind due to anger will affect the entire war.Calling a military doctor made it known to the whole city, and Nuo Ning lost face.Instead, he said, "If you're late, it's inspiring enough for you to come."

Nuo Ning laughed at herself: "Ha, thanks to Commander Simon's love, he didn't treat me like a vase."

Simon said with a smile: "Nuo Ning, I haven't seen you for decades, you are getting better at joking."

"It's been decades. The last time I came here was to quarrel with you with Teacher Lilith, and I will act as a peacemaker on the sidelines."

Speaking of Lilith, the light in Simon's eyes dimmed. What happened 50 years ago is still vivid in his memory. At that time, Lilith and him were normal because of their political differences. Lilith yelled at him like a shrew, you old man What a fart to quarrel with a dying person like me!At that time, his lungs were going to explode when he heard it, the corners of his mouth were stupid, and finally left Cancan.

Presumably, Lilith knew that she could not escape the curse of nightwalking, so she spoke unscrupulously.

Everything is different, and now the President of the Night Walk sitting opposite him is that old Nuoning who always followed behind Lilith and smiled quietly.And Nuo Ning has also changed, becoming more and more mature and tainted with the coldness of the world.

He asked the taboo question out of nowhere.

"Noning, how old are you this year?"

This is not only about the life and death of Nuo Ning, but also about the changes in the entire political situation.Whether or not Yexing will change his minister, when will he change, and who will he change? These three questions can shake the entire human world.The age of President Night Walk is always a secret, and everyone tacitly agrees not to touch this bottom line, unless President Night Walk wants to say it himself.

Some people say that age can be seen in the face, yes, it is true.The gap will not be very large, and the error is about 20 years.20 years is very short for the human life span of [-] years, and can be ignored.But enough is enough for the reform of the national system.

"What if I don't remember?"

Nuo Ning evoked a bleak smile, he couldn't remember.He often deceives himself that he can live to be four hundred years old and then retire, build a small house by the sea, and spend the two-person world with the person he likes.But the curse of the president of the night walk is that he will not live to be 350 years old. Since the founding of the country, no president of the night walk has lived beyond [-] years, and most of them died on the battlefield at [-] years old.

He looks very young, and in fact he is very young, 350 years old is a teenager.Vichy's resume stated that he was 280 years old.He also hypnotized himself that he was only 60 years old, and he could live another [-] or [-] years, and he could accept students after ten years.Once the painful truth was pulled out, he had to face the heartache of the bloody forest.

Nuo Ning calmed down and said with a smile, "I'm 290 this year."

His answer made Simon feel a little relieved. In this way, Nuoning still has 40 years in power, which is enough to marry a wife and have children to prepare for the next one.And Adair rested his chin, and just smiled indifferently.

He didn't want to discuss this issue any more, so he glanced around and asked, "Why didn't I see St. Bernard, vice president of the day tour today?"

"He hasn't arrived yet." Simon was also puzzled by this question. He waited at the door for a long time this morning, hoping that one would always come, but neither of them showed up.He speculated, "I'm afraid he was also attacked."

The devil's minions are really everywhere. He and St. Bernard walked in two ways, and they were both found in one hit.He was taking the official route, obviously being used as a target for people to attack, but St. Bernard was the one who really came to oversee the army by taking the trail.

It seems that there is no optimism there.

Can't wait for St. Bernard now.He asked: "Commander Simon, please briefly describe the current situation."

When Simon heard this, he nodded to his deputy, Gladys. Gladys immediately got up and took out a map and several pens of different colors from the cabinet, laid them on the table, and handed the pens to Simon.Simon first drew a small circle with a black pen, and then drew several small circles with a red pen.

"This is where we are now." Simon pointed to the black circle, and then moved his finger to the red circle. "Here, here, here and here are the places captured by the demons three nights ago."

He looked at the map following Simon's pointing, and the small red circles were the area occupied by the demons.The places they occupy are very strange, they are all small county towns next to the ancient forest.This kind of strategic location is not a very important town, why is the devil occupying it.

Simon smiled wryly: "I've fought the Demon Race for hundreds of years, and I've never seen this formation before."

He stared at the map for a long time, but he didn't see anything tricky.He picked up the pen and wanted to continue drawing circles, but Adair held his hand holding the pen and asked gently: "President, don't you want to draw circles again?"

Ah Lie was exposed.When he was in a bad mood, he wanted to draw circles.

Adair held him, gently nudging his hand to draw on the paper.At first he didn't understand what Adair was drawing, but after a few strokes, a legendary creature was formed.

He and Su used to sit side by side that day, looking up at the fireworks in the sky.

It's a dragon.

Use an arc to connect several red circles. The red circle is the huge dragon mouth, and the town that was attacked first and located directly opposite the garrison is the throat. The semi-arc ancient forest is filled by the dragon mouth. Qiubi Pearl.

Adair asked playfully, "President, is my drawing cute?"

He thought about it for a long time, and then he said: "You draw the snake to scare the snake away."

"President's praise." Adair was very happy when he received the compliment.He pointed to the map and explained to everyone: "This place is called the Land of Pearls and Jade in the Dragon's Own. It was originally a geomantic treasure land. Building tombs in trees can absorb the essence of heaven and earth and prevent foreign tomb robbers. But the mountains behind are in the Demon Realm, symbolizing This is a demonic dragon, and there must be serious troubles when a demonic dragon enters the world. So no one would choose to bury his bones here. But I don’t know what the demons want to do here.”

With Adair's explanation, everyone suddenly became enlightened.The points on the map really have such a charm.Gladys couldn't help but interjected: "Master Independent Walker is really knowledgeable, he can see things that others can't see."

He who was on the side laughed heartily when he heard it.What is Adair, who is erudite and knowledgeable, he was born as a tomb robber. He has never been to the tombs in the sky and the earth, and he quickly accumulated wealth by making money from death.Later, he was targeted by Ye Xing, and changed his face to become a carefree killer, and finally fell into his hands.

Adair himself was quite happy, being praised for his old profession, even if it was disgraceful.

"There is still one missing here." He picked up the pen in his hand and drew another dot on the gap on the left, right in the middle of a small town. "If it follows the opening trend of the dragon's mouth, they will make a big circle in the next step and launch an attack on our left. Let us all retreat to the south of the forest."

"Okay." Simon nodded immediately, "I will send more troops to guard it now."

Simon wanted to rush out to call the guards, but he sighed softly and stopped Simon: "Commander Simon, how long has it been since the last attack?"

Simon answered precisely: "A day and a half."

"It's too late." He shook his head. "The demons like to fight at night, and their morale has recovered after a day's rest. It's sunset and dusk, and they probably have arrived."

As soon as the voice fell, soldiers outside the door rushed to report.

"Report, sir, the left-wing town of Wenfu was attacked by the demons an hour ago, and has now fallen. All the teams have retreated to the south of the forest defense line."

"I see." Simon swung the soldiers back, his expression a little worse than before.He said sadly: "I'm still a step too late, the last location has been occupied."

"It's not too late, I know the general intentions of the demons." Nuoning comforted, "What is Commander Simon planning to do next?"

"I'm going to the left wing to integrate the troops. I'll be back tomorrow afternoon."

"I will not accompany you. I will stay here to investigate the movement of the demons, and at the same time send a letter to the imperial city to ask about the strangeness here."

"can."

Both of them talked quickly, and a few words decided the division of labor between the two parties.Simon went to the left to inspect the army, and he stayed here to find relevant clues.Don't be polite, it's convenient for both parties to act separately.

Adair walked out of the barracks with him, and returned to the assembly point along the original path.

It was getting dark, so I found a B&B to interview and had a meal before returning to the hotel.He arranged the route, and then told Adair: "Let Mephie find all the information here, report the situation of St. Bernard to Versail, and then come here to meet at the same time tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay." Adair nodded, "Is there anything else the President wants to order?"

As if he forgot something, he racked his brains and said, "Get your old job ready, maybe the demons really want to dig ancient tombs in the forest."

Adair asked again staringly: "What else?"

"Gone."

He spread his hands blank.This is Adair taking out a large handwritten document from his bag and putting it in his palm.He picked it up and looked at it, and the folklore information here was written in his own font.

"My little apple." Adair took a step forward and smiled at him with hesitant eyebrows: "Go back and have a good rest. I have already prepared the press materials for you when I have nothing to do in the afternoon."

An inexplicable emotion came to his heart.
