Monarch of Evernight: Sixty ahead
bsp;Qianye waved to Lu Yalan and said: "Let's go."
Lu Yalan stood up somewhat numbly, followed Qianye out, and sat in the driver's seat.
"Go to Youcheng."
Lu Yalan trembled slightly and turned to look at Qianye, her eyes full of confusion and uneasiness, "Are you still going to Youcheng?"
"Go and do something. Why, are there still people from Guisuo in You City?"
"There are only some informants from the outside. You have killed all Guisuo's main figures in this area. However, they will soon notice that something is going on here and will send elders over." Lu Yalan's The voice was trembling, and it was obvious that Guisuo's elders were difficult to deal with.
Qianye already understood the distribution of Guisuo's forces in the Western Continent, and said calmly: "They won't be able to catch up within a day or two. We still have enough time. When I leave Youcheng, you will be free."
Hearing these words, Lu Yalan shuddered involuntarily.
Qianye understood immediately and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you have done well along the way, so I won't kill you. And I believe that with your intelligence, you will not do something like returning to Guinsou." Stupid thing."
Lu Yalan nodded and silently started the vehicle engine.
After arriving in Youcheng, Qianye went to a small hotel to pick up his luggage, and took Lu Yalan to a hotel in the central city with the Zhao Clan's sign. He himself didn't stay for a moment, even though it was already dusk, he still rushed to Youcheng Auction House.
Zhao Runshui comes from a branch of the Zhao family, and his blood relationship is so thin that he can only be said to be a member of the Zhao family. But even so, he still got the lucrative job at Youcheng Auction House, for which his surname Zhao was indispensable.
Youcheng Auction House had already closed, but Zhao Runshui was still behind to take stock of the day's income and did not leave.
When the guard handed over the token presented by Qianye, he immediately welcomed Qianye in with a friendly attitude. He also sent someone to call back the appraiser and trader who had left, and brought the firearms that Qianye had brought. A valuation.
Looking at Zhao Runshui's attentive appearance, Qianye suddenly realized that Song Zining originally said that the recipient was a general from the Zhao clan. Although it was just a cover, it might not be entirely without reason. Maybe Song Zining did have someone in the Zhao clan. Similar to connections. It's just that this incident originated from the internal dispute over the successor of the Song clan. Let alone a mere general, I am afraid that the core members of the Zhao clan will not openly intervene.
Qianye sighed in his heart. It can be said that this trip to the Western Continent was full of fighting and killing. As for the various inner stories hidden behind the blood, he felt extremely complicated just thinking about it.
Zhao Runshui has already estimated the total price and handed over a thick resource catalog. Qianye flipped through it casually, asking to exchange some rare resources that were easy to carry, and also hoped to get some weapons specifically for the dark race.
Zhao Runshui didn't ask any unnecessary questions, and took out five magic-breaking mithril bullets, plus a special jade box.
The Force bomb in the box gave Qianye an unexpected surprise. He did not expect to see the Refined Silver Fiery Sun Bomb in the auction house. This is a physical bomb that is as powerful as a black titanium annihilation bomb, of course for the dark race.
In comparison, even the "bullets" handmade by the "master" are inferior to it. If Zaren had been shot through the chest by the Silver Refined Sun Bullet that day, he would have been directly burned into a charred corpse, with no chance of recovery.
After completing the transaction, Qianye hurried back to the hotel and saw Lu Yalan curled up on the sofa and asleep in a very uncomfortable position. Too many things happened in this day and night, and she was exhausted both physically and mentally.
Qianye slapped her awake and said, "It's time for us to leave."
Lu Yalan opened her eyes in confusion: "Let's go? Where to go?"
As soon as she said these words, she suddenly woke up, huddled up in a ball, and stared at Qianye, her face turning pale. She was not such a timid person originally, but after she flinched at the line of life and death for the first time, it became increasingly difficult to persevere.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. But I have to leave. Now you can go wherever you like."
Lu Yalan's eyes flashed and she suddenly said: "Can you arrange it for me?"
Qianye was startled, "What kind of arrangement?"
Lu Yalan sat up straight, with a trace of hope in her eyes besides fear, "I have received complete assassination training, but I don't have much experience in missions. My expertise is gambling, management and intelligence."
Qianye had already packed his luggage. He picked up his backpack and threw it on his shoulders. He pondered for a moment and said, "I have to go on another mission now, and I can't take you with me."
Lu Yalan's eyes dimmed.
Qianye thought for a while and said: "If you are willing to go to Yongye Continent, you can find a position in the Dark Fire Mercenary Group in Heiliu City, Sanhe County."
As he spoke, Qianye threw a money bag to her and said: "Guisuo does not dare to make much noise on the Zhao clan's territory, so public waterways may be safer."
Lu Yalan hesitated and finally nodded.
In the growing darkness, Qianye drove an off-road vehicle on the Shuoyang Highway. At first, he could occasionally see pedestrians heading towards the city, but after a while, everything was deserted.
The night sky is filled with stars, and the huge full moon occupies a small half of the sky. You can clearly see the huge undulating mountains above.
Youcheng gradually disappeared at the other end of the horizon. Qianye looked around. No matter which direction there was, there was only vast darkness, and the sky and wilderness merged into one in the distance.
He felt as if he was the only one left in the entire continent, and a completely unfamiliar star map hung in the sky. In this world, the sky above each continent is different, and the stars and moon seen by people on different continents are not the same.
At this moment, many faces appeared in Qianye's mind, and he suddenly missed those people he knew, knew, or even met a few times. Countless images flashed before his eyes, including the tea handed over by Song Zining, the fist fight that Wei Potian was bound to lose in every fight, the figure of Ye Tong turning around the airship cemetery, the smile of Zhao Ruoxi turning her head by the stream, and even William being reflected by the bonfire. The expression of salivating over the barbecue.
So Qianye knew that he was lonely again. It seems that the older I get, the more I fear loneliness. But he also knew that this feeling was different from when he escaped from Dark Blood City. Now every thought he felt was a concern, and every loneliness he felt was looking forward to seeing each other again.
In the distance, after crossing two provinces, you can see the thousands of miles of Falling Star Mountains, where another legacy of the Black Winged King is hidden, the Eye of True Sight.
After Qianye closed the twin flowers twice, he had vaguely guessed that the sudden extra pair of wings on the dark gold blood energy was probably the original wings. Even if it wasn't for the power of becoming one with the Eye of True Sight, he couldn't just sit back and watch such an important thing fall into the hands of the dark race.
At sunrise and sunset, the off-road vehicle drives away in the wilderness. Ahead are vast distant mountains, and also a vast destiny.
The Yanxi Province is one of the four provinces of the Zhao clan, and it is also a territory completely developed by the Zhao clan.
As the founder of the country, the ancestor of the Zhao clan could not entrust one county at first. Later, several heads of the family, with their great talents and lofty ideals, exchanged one county for half of the Western Continent. At that time, the empire's power had just extended to the Western Continent, which was a scorched earth that was ravaged by war, and could not be compared with the sacred land in the hinterland of the empire.
However, strong men of the Zhao clan emerged in large numbers, using this as a foundation to seize land one after another from the dark races, and eventually became the powerful clan that spans four provinces today.
In fact, not only the Zhao clan, but also the other three clans have made great achievements in opening up new territories. Even the Song dynasty, which was famous for its trade routes, does not seem to show much military prowess today, but its core fiefdoms were acquired through development, so they could be inherited hereditary.
No inheritance is obtained out of thin air. Every inch of territory and every inch of blood bury the heroic souls of generations of children.
When the off-road vehicle reaches halfway through Yanxi Province, there is no road ahead. Yanxi Province is very strange, half of it is very prosperous, and the other half is extremely desolate, with traces of raging war everywhere. The dividing line between prosperity and desolation is the border where dark races attack from time to time.
Qianye knew he had left the safe area when he could no longer see the road ahead. He found a small border town based on map markings, sold his off-road vehicle, and bought a pony known for its endurance. The next journey is an endless desert, which cannot be penetrated without special sand-traveling machinery. Horses are the easiest and most cost-effective means of transportation.
On the afternoon of the next day, Qianye found a lonely stone tablet standing in front of him. When he got closer, he saw a few bold characters: The Boundary of Great Qin.
After passing this boundary monument, you officially leave the empire's territory.
At this moment, a sudden gust of wind blew up, raising large amounts of yellow sand. The sun in the sky seemed a little distorted, but the wind and sand did not prevent it from casting endless light and heat on this desolate area.
The horse under Qianye's crotch was already a little sluggish, and the water bag was half empty. It would be dangerous if you couldn't get out of this desert before drinking all the water. In such a vast uninhabited area, the power of the strong was limited.
However, such a harsh natural environment is also extremely peaceful. Another day and night, Qianye could already see mountains in the distance, and the wind blowing in front of him was no longer so hot.
Entering the Falling Star Mountains is the kingdom of darkness. This land is extremely barren, and there are many ferocious beasts in the mountains. Not many dark races originally settled here. But Qianye saw many dark race troops from Anduya's consciousness, and it was obvious that this area would not be peaceful at this time.
After Qianye walked out of the desert, he let the horses go and entered the vast mountains alone. He acted very cautiously and never rushed forward. After finding a secluded hiding place, he began to rest on the spot regardless of the daylight, preparing to restore his physical strength to the best before going deep into the mountain.
However, Qianye fell into a deep sleep as soon as he leaned against the mountain wall.
In his deep dream, he seemed to hear a voice constantly calling him. It was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
The voice kept repeating the same frequency. I don’t know how long it took, but it gradually became clearer, "Get closer to me, bring me my head, and I will make you the king of the world!"
Qianye woke up suddenly!
The voice in the dream was so clear that even though Qianye woke up, it still played back in his ears over and over again. He finally remembered where he had heard it, not long after he obtained the crystal fragment from Baron Darul.
Having the experience of contacting the Black Winged King's will, Qianye realized that this voice was probably not an illusion, but a real existence calling him. But he wasn't sure yet whether this call was only for himself or whether others could also hear it.
But why is it related to the crystal shards Anduya left to his servants? Is that also the remaining consciousness of the Black Winged King?
Qianye took a deep breath and felt vaguely uneasy. Perhaps he would encounter more than just the Eye of True Sight during this trip.
The next day, Qianye finally discovered traces of the dark race. In a valley, there stands a vampire castle.
