El Tienno Calendar, December 568, Free City, Malacca
When people are vying for the focus of the Tongtian Cannon, they are all concentrated in Shangri-La. One place has been left out in the cold and has not received the attention it deserves, that is, the port city located in the southeast of the free city ─ ─ Malacca.
Although this is the territory of the Eastern family, it is not the headquarters of the Eastern family, and it is reasonable that it is not valued by everyone. On the contrary, if this place receives the attention of all forces, then Reins will have a big headache, because Reins’ important ally, the current head of the Eastern family, Dongfang Xuanlong, has been staying here recently, looking forward to it. On the other side of the sea, waiting for Reins' messenger.
Before, during the Jerusalem attack, Michael, the leader of the Four Horsemen of the White Nights, knew that the enemy was strong and he was fighting head-on. He was bound to be unlucky. So before he was martyred with his comrades, he would use the cannon. The important core parts of the city were sent away from Jerusalem. The cumbersome power unit was transmitted to Shangri-La, and was intercepted by Shi Chong in the middle. However, it was improperly manipulated and sank into the underground palace of the "Crypt of the Brave". However, the most important control chip was handed over to Dongfang Xuanlong and brought before the battle. Away from Jerusalem.
For this reason, when Jerusalem fell and the Tongtian Cannon fell into Gong Jin's hands, this terrifying weapon did not immediately pose a threat. Although all parties quickly noticed the changes in Shangri-La and rushed to fight for the ownership of the power plant, the secret of the Eastern Xuanlong was finally successfully maintained and was not discovered by others.
That said, Reins, who learned about this early in the morning, couldn’t accept the chip in such a fair manner, because the hostile forces were already investigating the whereabouts of the Eastern Xuanlong and suspected that except for the power device. , Michael had another follow-up, coupled with the tight manpower deployment of Reins at that time, the result has been dragged to this day, after confirming that the enemy master is also lacking, Reins’ messenger finally came to Malacca. An old man in a coarse gray robe was found by the beach.
"I knew someone would come, but I didn't expect that person would come today, let alone that they would send you over to pick up the goods."
"I came here to take things and leave, not to talk philosophically to the old lady. I am very busy at work. I am still waiting for me nearby. I will have to wait these two days. Searching for five hundred miles, destroying more than ten villages, and absorbing more than three thousand five hundred souls, is enough for the number of experiments, and there is no time to gossiping here."
"...This is the site of our house anyhow. Who are we going to kill, what village is to be slaughtered, etc., can we wait until I leave and talk about it?"
When I touched this figure, the Eastern Xuanlong could only sigh. When I was in Jixia, I heard that this woman was very vicious and powerful, so that strangers shouldn’t come near, even Bai Wuji didn’t know what she was afraid of. The disciple of Deng also turned around when she met her. Later, I heard that she had been hired as the director of the Dark Magic Institute. I knew that the Reins people were in trouble from then on, but I couldn’t think of why they would send her to fetch things. Heavy responsibility.
"There is no special reason, just because of the qualifications to pick up the goods, at least if it is the power of heaven, and there is no other power of heaven on Jixia."
Hua Bianque shook the black cloak on her body, and shook off the seawater that was covered with her clothes. Melaka is close to the coast, and its magnetic field belongs to the hot and humid summer. The sea breeze that blows is alkaline and hot. In this climate, even the indifferent Hua Bian magpie had to change into a heavy cloak, a black cloak. Bottom, there is only a close-fitting leather outfit.
Round shoulders, smooth lower abdomen without a trace of excess fat. The dark and smooth skin exudes a healthy oily luster, which makes people dazzled by her unique **** charm. You will not feel the cold atmosphere that has been with the dead and the corpses for many years.
"Well, this old man is understandable, but I heard that Reings has always instructed you to stay still, and even assisting in setting up barriers and eliminating the chaos of the free city, can't mobilize you, why this time Suddenly changed his position, and fell to this task?"
"...This is why I strongly oppose violence and witches."
Hua Bianque suddenly stood still and turned her head. Before, due to her dark skin and her speechlessness while looking at people, Dongfang Xuanlong didn't notice it, but now she is facing the light and she found this cold. There was a dark circle on the left eye of the gorgeous girl, which was obviously blackened by a punch.
From the point of view, the reason why she came here seems to be violent coercion, but this woman is a hot-handed character in Reinsburn, others avoid it for fear, who dares to provoke her more a bit? Unless... witch, the only possibility is that the super elder of the sorcerer guild in the rumored ─ ─ Merlin Green.
"I didn't take the things with me, come with me, the things are hidden in the underground secret room in my fortress."
"When the enemy scans with Tianxin consciousness, do you think the underground secret room has any effect?"
"I don't think it makes much sense, but at least when the enemy finds something with his Tianxin consciousness, he doesn't need to kill the old man because I am next to him."
Purely speaking of martial arts, when Dongfang Xuanlong used the Six Sun Zun Jue to kill the "Star Rain Burning" at the end, the terrifying power of this sacrificial technique, even Lu You reminded Gong Jin to be very careful that day, but stood In Reins' position, for this reason, the old man must not be prepared to sacrifice himself to kill the enemy at any time. Therefore, even if Eastern Xuanlong said that, no one could question him.
The megalithic fortress not far from the coast is a fortress built by the Dongfang family. There are seven large furnaces in it, which ignite raging flames day and night to forge weapons. As for the Dongfang Xuanlong The underground secret room that Hua Bianque went to went deep into the ground for tens of feet, and there was no coolness, but it felt hot.
"It is too uneconomical to simply use coal or firewood. The ancestors of the Dongfang family chose to build a fortress near the magma area, using geothermal energy as the energy source for forging."
Explaining this way, the Eastern Xuanlong took the person to the underground chamber, and just about to take out the chip, the two people's Tianxin consciousness vibrated at the same time, and they sensed that something unusual had happened.
The specific situation is not clear, but screams sounded outside. Some of the seven large furnaces in the forging yard exploded like a volcanic eruption; some of them seemed to have some kind of huge suction in the ground. Suddenly sucked back all the magma full of fire; the most exaggerated one, even instantly condensed into ice, and the dwarves who couldn't avoid it were all frozen in it.
The changes that have never happened in the past thousand years since the opening of the fort have scared everyone in the Malacca fortress, but the real crisis has only begun to arrive at this moment.
"This...what is this? What happened to the sky?"
A rumbling sound, like a muffled thunder, came from the northwest. The speed was so fast, almost as soon as I heard it, there was no sunlight in the sky, and the huge dense dark clouds completely obscured the entire sky. .
※※※
Although it is in the same free city, Shangri-La, which is thousands of miles away from Malacca, did not feel the discoloration of the wind and clouds thousands of miles away. If the intelligence system of the Brothel Alliance is still there, then the changes that have taken place in Malacca, intelligence will be transmitted to all forces at the fastest speed, but now, people are greeted with joy in the unknown about things outside of their own cities.
The unknown is often the source of anxiety and worry, but the two sides of the same emotion can also lead to joy, especially when people actively seek joy in order to forget and worry.
Shangri-La's situation is like this right now. The people in the city are not ignorant. They are inevitably involved in the changes of the entire world and the changes of the entire age, although they do not know as clearly as Lancelot, Gengoro, and Zhou Gongjin, but They also felt in their hearts that it was time to cherish everything around them. It is very likely that a sudden change after today or tomorrow will ruin their family and destroy their lives overnight.
With this feeling, the citizens of Shangri-La are looking forward to nightfall. When the lanterns first came on, the moon slowly rose, and the fireworks set off by the city hall burst into colorful colors in the sky. The citizens brought their families and family members to start today's celebration.
Today was originally Shangri-La’s festival. The officials prepared fireworks, parades and other celebration programs. In the early hours of childhood, there was a special city-wide event. However, most of the people’s attention is now They are all concentrated in the Shangri-La Central Arena, the upcoming concert.
In order to welcome this concert, in addition to the brilliantly illuminated dome venue, the outside has already been lined up with layers of people and dragons. Although the all-encompassing happy expressions of the crowds who entered the arena made the outsiders look a little astonished, but the strong festive feeling, with the fireworks flying in the sky, the colorful lights still filled everyone's heart with joy.
And these lively atmosphere can be definitely felt by the staff in the center of the concert venue, but these staff from the Brothel Alliance are already professionals in this field, regardless of the external situation. What will happen tonight, they are just focusing on the work at hand, quickly completing the pre-work for the concert.
"We are all the staff around the artists, and we are responsible for the performing arts work. Even if it is the end of the world, we will only die on the stage; as for things other than the performing arts work, we can’t help much. I only wish a few good luck in their work."
When Nier asked the staff of the brothel if she had received any special instructions from the magic house, she got such a respectful answer. And seeing more than a hundred staff members lined up and bowed to the ground, as if letting them be slaughtered, Nier felt that she couldn't say anything.
"It's really annoying. I always feel that my righteous sister must be planning something secretly. The conspiracy is too strong!"
Nier said this purely based on instinct, and she couldn’t find anyone to discuss it, because Yuangoro and Hai Jiaxuan had left a quarter of an hour ago. When they left, Nier asked how they would deal with it. Ergun, the two of them sang and talked with each other, not talking about them, their sly smiles on their faces looked like twin brothers.
Since there was no discussion, Nier walked around the dome. In the several itineraries scheduled tonight, Nier also had her own tasks to perform, but before she set off, she suddenly wanted to walk around the venue.
Look at the huge crowds coming in, the seats that were already full, and then looking at the sea of people layer after layer outside the window, I was amazed by the concert's powerful gold-absorbing ability, and then I slipped into the backstage.
Compared with the busy outside, the situation in the backstage is not much better, especially the dressing room where the protagonist is tonight, it is even more chaotic. As if to prove the singer's popularity, a large number of reporters and security guards pushed outside the door, and the sound just made it loud.
Nier didn’t get close to the past, instead she turned a corner in the corridor and entered a small room at the very end. This is a secret she only recently learned. In the past, Feng’er always stayed before and after a concert. In such a secluded room, be prepared to switch to the bustling and noisy scenes.
Feng'er is not here, but Quan Ying, who took her place on stage, naturally inherited this habit. When Nier opened the door, the maid group inside was surprised, and then she stepped aside and gave it to Nier. by.
Quan Ying, with her disheveled dress, was changing her outfit, and she smiled shyly when she saw Nier coming in.
In the past, the economic situation of the dragon family was not considered wealthy. When Quanying lived alone in Hangzhou, most of the main flowers were provided by Bailudong. Although she maintained a noble life, her clothes were elegant and generous, and the stage costumes of artists Quan Ying’s luxurious exaggeration can be said to be a different story. Quan Ying, who is accustomed to living a simple life, was completely messed up when she first came into contact with stage costumes, and her clever mind was completely useless. In the end she had to embarrass her face and ask the maids to come in and help. Dress up pieces of clothing that you don’t know where to wear.
This embarrassment once caused Nier to laugh and become a topic of teasing for some time in the future, but now I see Quanying taking her time to raise her skirt, buckle and adjust the stockings on her legs, and then put her skirt down. The whole movement was so graceful that I couldn't find a trace of the fault, and it was obvious that he was completely familiar with it, overcoming the previous unfamiliarity.
And when I stared at Quan Ying at this moment, Nier really felt a sense of resignation. The perfect curve that cannot be added or subtracted, that is, using the arc moon-shaped eye mask to cover her face, Quan Ying standing there is still breathtakingly beautiful. Together with Nier, who is a woman, she is very sensitive to every subtle movement of her. If you look like a fairy, your heart is rippling.
"What's the matter? Your eyes are so strange!"
Quan Ying certainly did not forget the slap that Nier had given a few days ago. For the bad conflict, Ni'er has been avoiding meeting these days, but she is coming now, her eyes and expressions don't seem to be provocative, then, it should be possible to communicate!
"Nier, I'll accompany you to the party tonight! I always feel a little worried..."
The words came out of her mouth, and Quan Ying suddenly felt that she had said something wrong. With Nier’s self-esteem, saying this by herself, will it stimulate her and make her think that she looks down upon her?
Fortunately not.
"Neurotic, you will be on stage soon. Now you run away. The concert will open the skylight. How do you want us to explain to the outside team? And didn't you say that you like to sing on stage? You regretted it so soon? "
"I hate irresponsible people, and I really like this temporary part-time job. But it’s more important than anything to make sure that Nier is safe and sound. With this as the main premise, I can let go of work here at any time. ."
Quan Ying’s sincere remarks caused a great commotion among the maids next to them, and some people were about to kneel and mourn; Ni'er, who was facing her, was not without turmoil in her heart, but she still deliberately got up. Face, raised his right hand, and said: "Hey, if you are talking about husband and sister, guardian responsibility again, don't blame me for swollen your mouth, wait for a while to be on stage."
"No, it's not like that... Although it did mean that at the beginning, now... I feel like..."
Hesitating for a while, and finally, under Nier's questioning gaze, Quan Ying boldly expressed her feelings in her heart.
"Nier, you are cheerful and optimistic. I am very happy to get along with you... Even if it is not because of his relationship, I really want to do something for you and care about you a little bit more. Actually... Actually, I have always been very I want a younger sister..."
Quan Ying, who has always impressed people with a sense of reason, spoke like this while letting go, while she said, and she peeked sideways at Nier's reaction. If you are seen by a hot-blooded man who is busy getting out of his body and dressed up in black masked men everywhere, he will definitely retort loudly, "Hey, do you want a woman like a husband?", but for Nier, It's another mood.
"...what, what...what the hell...you are a few years old, and your speech is so naive, it's really a laugh."
Pretending to be leisurely, the girl said something completely different from her true mood.
Can't relax at this time! The string of reason that has been tense, if it is softened by warmth at this time, it will definitely not be able to tighten it anymore. At that time, many problems that have been forced to forget by oneself will suddenly come up, causing the will to collapse.
"I am the highest military commander of Reins Thielen outside of Jixia. After all, I have not been down to the point of being sympathized and worried by you. I have solved Shi Chong’s little things. Ability is easy and effortless, you should take care of yourself!"
Nier put her hands on her hips and finished her speech proudly, and then turned her head to leave, but Quan Ying waved to her and asked her to come closer.
"What are you doing? Honest people, if you have anything you can't say in person, you have to speak quietly...Ah!"
"Pervert! Pervert!"
The scolding voice was very loud, but there was not much anger in it, and the maids who noticed this laughed even more happily. Just after Ni'er yelled the last "Laughter Woman Pervert" and was about to go out, Quan Ying's whispers came from behind.
"Nier...will be back!"
Speaking softly, like an ordinary home greeting, is incomparable. However, she said nothing, just walked out the door with her head high and rushed to the entrance of Shangri-La's underground palace.
"Miss Quan Ying, the time is up."
"Got it, let's go!"
After sending off Nier, the time to go on stage finally arrived. Quan Ying used the secret path she had prepared before, left the preparation room and walked onto the stage alone.
On the night when all her companions had to face their own battles and were born and die, she actually performed performing arts activities leisurely, which really made Quan Ying couldn't let go. However, Gengoro also explained to her before, telling her the importance of this concert. In a certain way, this concert, which concerns the minds and lives of tens of millions of people, is better than any other struggle. more important.
"Hello everyone, Mengxue is very pleased that everyone has come all the way to support this concert. Tonight... Mengxue belongs to everyone on the scene. I hope everyone here can have a good dream. ."
Speaking of the signature words of each time Leng Mengxue stepped on the stage, when the sound of music gently raised, the magnificent phantom light on the stage cast patterns, Quan Ying paced lightly on the stage with fine water steps, even though it was just a simple movement Greetings, but while the skirt floats, it looks like a light dance like water.
It's just that, under the calm appearance, Quan Ying is still a little worried. Gengoro and Hai Jiaxuan joined forces, almost invincible in the world. Although I don't know how Dorgon will respond, there shouldn't be any problems with these two people.
However, Nier's condition made herself have an ominous premonition. As she said, if Shi Chong is the only manpower that the enemy can dispatch, then with her current martial arts, Shi Chong will not be a threat to her at all.
The feeling that Nier has given people is very unusual these few days, especially after the farewell just now, I actually felt a kind of aura in her, that is a strong aura that can only be generated after quite awakening. , And from the perspective of the scale and difficulty of the task, Quan Ying couldn't see why she had such a consciousness.
Standing on the stage, Quan Ying raised her translucent cicada-wing sleeves and performed an infinite graceful dance. In her heart, she prayed to her husband, hoping that Nier's trip would be safe and complete.
When the musical notes turned to rush, Quan Ying lightly opened her lips, letting out the wonderful song that shouldn't exist in the world, and while the audience was strongly shocked, Quan Ying was also shocked. He looked at a position in the front row of the auditorium, where... there was a person who shouldn't be there.
(Why? He shouldn’t be here now...)
