While Bu Moyin was patrolling the valley, Lorraine Hill was not idle, but was thinking of other methods. Although Xiyouzhou was the closest to here, it was not possible to send troops 100%, especially after hearing what Granny Groo had just said.
After explaining to her, Lorraine Hill felt even more so.
We still have to leave a way out or hope.
When she thought this way, she took out the undead gem and summoned its ghostly soul.
"Now we may not be able to get to Mushan Continent in time, so we can only trouble you to inform Zhaoye Palace. Besides, you are originally a disciple of Zhaoye Palace, so you can gain more trust from others." Lorraine Hill said to this soul
The body instructed.
"If it's safe on the road, I'll let this bird beside me protect you, as long as you help guide me." Then she called the blue crow to the side, whose black and smart eyes looked curiously at the mist-like soul.
"No problem." This ghost transformed by a disciple of Zhaoye Palace replied.
"That's good." Lorraine Hill nodded. He felt that this guy was too weak now, and he was afraid that it would be blown away by the wind or encounter some accident, so he wanted to help it increase its strength.
After some exchanges and inquiries, Lorraine Hill took out the undead gem, meditated silently, and then began to manipulate it carefully.
At noon, the shrine was peaceful and quiet, with only a few birdsong and cicada chirping coming from the woods next to the shrine.
In the main hall, a silver-haired girl closed her eyes slightly. As she recited the incantation, her hair slowly floated up. The gems in front of her also turned into fine and transparent threads, wrapping and shrouding the soul body, and then slowly
Slowly seep into it.
"Follow my instructions..." The ethereal voice sounded in the shrine, and the ghost began to absorb the necromantic magic that was constantly seeping into it.
Just like that night in Hope Laner many years ago, Lorraine Hill began to guide the soul in front of him to advance to the undead sequence.
With the quiet flow of magic power, this originally fuzzy soul slowly solidified, as if it gradually turned from a transparent cloud into a liquid. A transparent blue extraordinary core within its body also slowly took shape.
Just like this, an hour later, this weak soul was promoted to Necromancer Sequence 3 Night Watching Spirit, and had preliminary self-protection capabilities.
"I'm not sure what method Zhaoye Palace practices now, but the method I entrust to you is the soul-raising and stabbing lineage of the Jiuyou 1st Path of the Xiangyu Sect. Its practice method is righteous and peaceful, focusing on
Cultivate your own soul, become a powerful spiritual body, and use it as a means of attack." Lorraine Hill explained simply.
Seeing that he had done all this, Grandma Ge Luo on the side opened her mouth to interrupt.
"You kid, you are really messing around. Don't do this kind of thing easily in the future." She was referring to what Lorraine Hill had just done to help this ghost condense the core to advance.
"Such behavior is too dangerous, just like a blind person teaching another person to chop vegetables. If you are not careful, the core will burst, causing serious injury or even death to the other person." Granny Groo then patiently explained the reason.
Just like never feeling the same way, a person cannot know the other person's various delicate feelings, and therefore cannot get any feedback. To advance in such a blind environment is simply gambling, with a very low winning rate.
"I understand, mother-in-law." The girl blinked, trying to be cute.
Of course she knew the danger involved, but as the original fourth soul body, she could already contact and perceive the feelings of other soul bodies. This was not a rigid process without feedback. It was just that she couldn't deal with Granny Grotto about such a thing.
To explain, I had no choice but to act cute and get through.
However, this allows others to speed up their advancement, and the limit is reached at Sequence 3. At Sequence 4, you have to face the test of illusions from within, and outsiders cannot help.
After a while, the promoted ghost finally condensed into a clear translucent entity in the sky, no longer a cloud like before.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Jialan." Her voice was slightly cold, as if she had not yet adapted to the way of speaking in ghost form, but looking at her figure and face, it was unexpected that she was a girl.
"You're welcome. It's thanks to you this time that we know such an important thing." Lorraine Hill shook his head and continued to ask.
"Are you feeling better now?"
"Well, it's much better now." She turned around in a circle with a little joy, then lowered her head and saluted.
"My name is Bin Huaixia. Thank you, Senior Sister Jialan, for saving my life." Then he briefly introduced his origins.
This girl who turned into a ghost comes from an official family in Mushanzhou. Because she has a good talent for freedom and is the only daughter in the family, her father is reluctant to marry outside, so he sends her to Zhaoye Palace to practice, so that as a girl, she can also have certain strength in the future.
The choices are wider, and even if you recruit a son-in-law in the future, you won't have to worry about being bullied.
Unexpectedly, although she rose to prominence in the sect and entered the inner sect, she was unfortunately involved in a fight between two parties while stationed in the Ximu Mountains and died as a result.
Her body had been destroyed in the battle a few years ago, but fortunately, she took advantage of the melee between the two parties to hide her soul in the cellar of a remote building and escaped. Only then did she wait for Lorraine Hill's death.
arrival.
"Now that you have some ability to protect yourself, I'm relieved." After hearing this, Lorraine Hill called the Dark Crow to grab an undead gem and let the new ghost enter it.
After giving instructions, the little guy jumped up and flew towards the west side of the sky, which was also the direction of Mushan Continent.
Not long after the girl finished dealing with these matters, Bu Moyin also returned from inspecting the valley.
"I've finished my inspection, and we can leave now." Time was urgent, and she couldn't sit still at this time.
"Well, let's do that." Lorraine Hill stood up slowly, said goodbye to Granny Gro, and then walked out of the shrine with Bu Moyin.
After that, a burst of air rolled up, wrapping the two people into the air, and then quickly drove towards Xiyou Prefecture on the southeast side.
Looking at the small black dot that disappeared in the sky and the long trail of clouds remaining in the sky, Grandma Grotto finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
"In this way, everything that can be done has been done. Next, we can only do our best and listen to fate." She stood up slowly, looked at the crowded and noisy scenery in the valley, and slowly raised her hand.
Following her movements, the black dignified witch costume also fluttered in the wind, and the colorless and traceless breath of dragon veins gently escaped from the old man. Then deep in the ground beneath his feet, the flow direction of the dragon veins also changed.
Gradually come together.
————————
In the wilderness of the mountains at dusk.
Lorraine Hill and Bu Moyin were flying in the sky at high speed, with the sound of the wind whistling and retreating in their ears. Silk clouds floated below the field of vision, covering this barren wilderness like a cloud and mist.
When she was in the shrine, Moyin had always focused her attention on Granny Geluo. It was only then that she noticed the girl who took her flying.
Originally, he thought it would take several days to turn back, but looking at the vast and undulating mountains below him, Bu Moyin had a premonition that he would reach the capital of Xiyouzhou today.
After being silent for a long time on the way, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked him.
"Excuse me, are you also from the outside world, that is, the inner provinces and counties?" She saw that there was a faint blood color on Lorraine Hill's snow-white neck, which did not look like a clan with bluish and cold skin.
"Yes, but strictly speaking, I am actually from the Western Continent." The girl's soft voice passed through the howling wind and reached Mo Yin's ears.
"I'm just currently studying in the Eastern Continent, and I came here because of a mission." Lorraine Hill explained simply.
"I see, but judging from your words and behavior, you don't look like a traveler from the west at all." Mo Yin shook her head slightly. She had seen many aristocratic children of the Green Empire in Luojing. Their clothes were very unusual, and their accents were also very unusual.
Not as natural as this girl.
"Giggles, maybe I was born in this land a long time ago, and then went to other places." There was a trace of nostalgia in Lorraine Hill's light blue eyes.
"Then that makes sense."
Moyin still felt that such a beautiful and peaceful girl should come from the Plantagenet dynasty. As a member of the dynasty family, she was born to be proud of her country.
After that, the two of them chatted word by word, and their figures streaked from the sky to the earth to the east like a stream of light.
Originally, Bu Moyin was worried that the girl would rest due to exhaustion on the way or need to take a break, but unexpectedly, from the time the two set off and entered the hinterland of Xiyouzhou at dusk, the girl did not feel any strange at all.
Without a drop of sweat, he easily led her through this long journey and arrived at the capital of Xiyouzhou.
The air flow entangled around the two people, and then slowly dispersed, kicking up some fallen leaves and dust, and the two people slowly landed under the Xiyouzhou Mansion City.
"It's up to me now, come with me." Bu Moyin didn't want to be outdone by this girl who seemed to be younger than her, so she led Lorraine Hill toward the towering city.
"Please show me the ferry." When he came to the city gate, a guard wearing black and yellow armor stopped him temporarily.
"Marigold Hanging Flower, inspecting on behalf of Heaven." Bu Moyin took out a hidden token from his waist. There were intricate carvings of golden flowers and vines on the edge, and in the middle was a lamppost in full bloom, with a vague bird in it.
A human figure seems to be dancing in the flames.
Seeing this token containing a special and extraordinary aura, the guard was frightened by its identity and took a step back.
"I overstepped." He bent down and clasped his fists, and several other guards behind him also moved out of the way, allowing the two of them to quickly enter the city. Not only that, two of the guards also specially opened the way for them, clearing the crowded streets.
Pedestrians walked towards the main palace in the city.
Jinzhanxuanhua Mansion is the supervisory agency of the dynasty, and usually operates in secret. Once the token is revealed, it must involve urgent matters. These guards also follow the usual practice to guide them, so as not to delay the official business and cause serious trouble.
The shouts of the guards were heard on the noisy avenue, and soon the crowd on the road separated to both sides, allowing the few people who were walking quickly to pass quickly, but then they looked curiously at the hurried back, guessing what might be going on.
"The people from the Xuanhua Mansion have appeared. It seems that our Lord Zhou Mu is in trouble this time." In a teahouse on the street, two tea-drinking guests looked at the scene below with a faint smile.
"Tu Haoyang, Tu Haoyang, since you are unwilling to use this cold and sharp knife for King Dai, I can only destroy you, haha..." After that, one of them laughed in a low voice, faintly
Of pride.
"Sir, you really have a clever plan to attract the visiting envoys from Xuanhua Mansion. In this way, as long as Tu Haoyang shows a slight flaw and a handle, the court will naturally find ways to continue to demote him and fall step by step." Another person congratulated him.
, although they have no official status, they are all disciples of Prince Dai's palace. They work for him and are proud to share the king's worries.
"That's great, Brother Jing. Come and drink." Although he was humble, he couldn't hide the smug look on his face.
The world is so big and there are so many capable people and talented people, but how many people can really display their ambitions and change the direction of the world's situation?
In the peaceful and prosperous times, it was the consensus and desire of many people to learn literary and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family.
As for cultivating to prolong life, or even live forever, although it sounds very good, there are only a few people who have been able to climb the nine-level ladder throughout the ages. This is even smaller than the chance of entering the court and becoming a prime minister. Many people with poor talents have also
I gave up hope very early.
But once you enter the dynasty and rank very high, even if your own talents are not good, you can still use the power of the dynasty to obtain many resources to extend your life and become stronger. This is another shortcut, so many people are flocking to it and try their best to gain access to various places.
kind of force.
——————
Within the state capital, the palaces were densely packed, and tall towers were lit with everlasting lamps everywhere. Soldiers with swords and halberds patrolled among them, making a slight sound of metal clashing, showing their power and murderous intent.
When Lorraine Hill followed Bu Moyin into the state capital, she also felt the strict and solemn atmosphere here. She was slightly surprised. In this peaceful and prosperous dynasty, the state capital was actually so heavily guarded. It seemed that this person
Mr. Zhou Mu is very special.
"The visiting envoy has arrived -" When Bu Moyin stepped on the steps of a main hall, the official at the door shouted loudly and spread inside.
Soon after, a man wearing a dark green gown slowly entered the hall, followed by a staff-like figure.
"I'm the shepherd of Xiyouzhou. I wonder why the visiting envoy has arrived so urgently." The man slightly cupped his hands and said. His face was straight, and although he was dressed as a simple scholar, he was just standing there.
There is a feeling of not being angry and being proud.
After seeing the state pastor, Bu Moyin's originally surging emotions quickly cooled down.
"I am the envoy of Jinzhan Xuanhua Mansion. I discovered some strange things during my tour of this place..." She calmly talked about what she had seen in the Ximu Mountains, as well as how powerful and numerous the demons were.
"I see, the inspection has been a hard work for you sir." The state shepherd looked calm and seemed not surprised by what Bu Moyin reported.
"Serve tea to the envoy." He ordered, and the staff member behind him slightly cupped his hands, and then went aside to let the waiter bring the good tea.
A faint fragrance emerged from the tea cup with a white celadon background, and the warm water vapor gradually relaxed the atmosphere in the hall.
"As the envoy said, I will report it immediately to the court and let the central government make a decision." The state pastor picked up the tribute tea that contained extraordinary power, took a sip, and then put it down.
Hearing such an answer, Bu Moyin immediately frowned. This seemed to be a correct answer, but it meant that the state shepherd would not send a single soldier into the Ximu Mountains before the court responded with instructions.
"But now the mountains are in danger. Once the monsters attack in large numbers, they will cause a lot of casualties."
"The envoy is very worried. The lower officials will also tell the people on the border to move inland to avoid the disaster." He answered unhurriedly.
"But if this happens, the Youchi clan in the Ximu Mountains will probably die out." Bu Moyin finally expressed the worries in his heart.
"Your Majesty the Messenger is compassionate, and I am very touched. However, my duty is to protect the people in the continent. As for the Youchi clan, I am not worried about it." He shook his head slightly.
"That is to say, you won't send troops, right?" Bu Moyin's fingers clenched slightly, as if unwilling to do so.
"Exactly." Seeing the unhappy look on the young visiting envoy's face, the state pastor was unable to open his mouth to explain.
"Please forgive me, Sir Envoy. In my heart, the lives of soldiers in this continent are far more precious than those of the evil clan. I have to consider their families and children. Sir Envoy also doesn't want to see their families separated and their families destroyed." "His words were clear and coherent, leaving Bu Moyin speechless for a moment.
After a brief silence, Bu Moyin spoke again.
"But with the sufficient military strength in the state capital, it will not cause a large number of casualties." As the visiting envoy of Xuanhua Mansion, Bu Moyin was very aware of the situation in Xiyouzhou.
As one of the state capitals with special circumstances, the Governor has the power to mobilize 40% of the state's military strength. He is very flexible and free. Unlike the captain, who must have the tiger talisman in order to issue orders. And the Xuan under his command There are many Leopard Riders of the second and third levels. If paired with elite equipment and military formations, they can be compared to more than a thousand fourth-level extraordinary beings.
In this way, combined with the support of other elite border troops in the continent, and concentrated forces, approximately three thousand and four levels of extraordinary military formations can be formed to clean up the scattered and uncooperative monsters in the mountains with ease.
The state pastor listened to Bu Moyin's explanation and still refused.
"I already know what the messenger is thinking, but I can't help it." As he spoke, the tea lid in his hand fell on the cup, making a crisp sound.
The hall fell into oppressive silence until after a long time, a clear and soft voice sounded.
"Excuse me, sir, is there any hidden secret in the continent? Maybe we can share some of it with you and coordinate with each other. In this way, we may be able to find a way to get the best of both worlds."
As he finished speaking, the stern-looking Zhou Mu slowly moved his gaze to the side of Bu Moyin, where sat a quiet and gentle girl with silver-white hair at the ends, like the snow of the Tianshan Mountains, peerless and alluring. .
