The horse pulled four wheels and galloped forward. In a short time, they came out of the observation post at the outermost edge of the Northern Army's station. They heard a loud whistle from a skilled middle-aged man driving the carriage, and the carriage that was running smoothly stopped suddenly.
.
Lin Xi narrowed his eyes, held the giant sword Lan Yan tightly in his hand, and jumped out from the right side of the carriage.
"Someone is blocking the way." As soon as Lin Xi came out, he heard the panicked voice of the middle-aged uncle. The uncle was specially hired by General Marton and was only responsible for sending Lin Xi to Nuoqi City. He didn't have much skills.
He was near the military station, and the two people blocking his way seemed to be quite friendly and well-matched. He was so frightened that he ran away.
Lin Xi only heard the four words spoken by his uncle, and then he was ready to raise his giant sword to fight, but when he raised his head and looked forward, he was stunned.
"Woof woof!" "Bah, bah, bah."
An old man dressed as a butler and a short, middle-aged man stood in front, waiting for him with a smile. Next to them, a fat-headed dog had a little snow-white penguin squatting on its head.
Lin Xi's eyes suddenly moistened, and he walked forward quickly, with surprise and trembling in his voice. "Grandpa Monroe, Senior God of War." Lin Xi really didn't expect that they would come here, and they would come so fast. They had already arrived early.
Been waiting here for some time.
"Let's talk about it after we get in the car." Miller still didn't say much. He first paid the wages to the middle-aged man who was standing aside, and then asked Lin Xi to get into a large and spacious carriage.
Lin Xi put the giant sword into the ring, hugged Manu with one hand and Xiaobai with the other, and entered the car with a smile on his face.
The carriage was also hired, and it was ordinary and unremarkable. Even the four horses pulling the carriage were not magical beasts, but they could be regarded as horses.
"Grandpa Monroe, Senior God of War, why did you think of coming here to pick me up?" Lin Xi was a little curious. After all, it had only been about two days since his uncle's accident and he had been forced to leave the army.
"Ask it!" Miller said angrily, pointing at the little penguin.
"Hey." Xiao Bai first rolled his signature eyes at Miller, and at the same time, he stretched out his two little paws and waved arrogantly at Miller a few times. Then he tilted his little head towards Lin Xi and raised it high.
, looking quite proud, as if he had done something great.
"Woof." Manu, the fat-headed dog, barked dissatisfied and shook his plump flesh, looking quite disdainful.
"Xiao Bai, it was you who flew here with Grandpa Monroe, Senior God of War and Manu?" Lin Xi guessed what was going on when he saw the little guy's proud look.
"Bah, bah, bah, bah." The little guy sitting there smiled broadly, his big eyes suddenly curved into a crescent shape, and his look was indescribably cute. For fear that Lin Xi wouldn't believe it, the little guy even stood up and flapped his little wings a few times.
After receiving the confirmation, Lin Xi was still surprised. Unexpectedly, within half a year, the little guy could actually carry two adults at a time, and flew all the way from Nochi City near the south to the Northern Army!
"Xiao Bai has made rapid progress. With its speed, even the current seventh-level warriors can't do anything to it at close range. If it's a head-on confrontation, relying on Xiao Bai's increasingly proficient control over the fire element, it's still possible to defeat warriors below the mid-sixth level.
I'm sure of it." Monroe chuckled from the side, and it was obvious that he really liked the little guy.
"The speed advantage is easy to understand. After all, Xiaobai is a white spirit bird, and the innate advantage lies there. But I have never understood the attack of the fire element. I asked Xiaobai, a confused insect, and he didn't know. He said
After all, White Spirit Birds are not good at fire attacks, they rely on speed and a pair of sharp wings." Lin Xi told the two knowledgeable seniors about the problem that had been troubling him, hoping to find out.
Some eyebrows.
"The identity of the little penguin is not that simple. Only one of its parents should be a white spirit bird, and the other one must be good at fire attacks. As for what kind of spiritual beast it is, we don't know." Although Miller expressed his opinion,
But when he looked at Xiaobai, he still had no good expression.
"Linxi, don't be too anxious to figure out Xiaobai's identity. I also agree with Miller's opinion, but after all, it is still in the growth stage, far from being a minor. Some innate magical powers have not yet been passed down and used, so I can't make any judgments.
." Monroe then said.
"Hey." Although the little guy was happy, he also looked a little lonely. Lin Xi knew that the little guy missed his parents, so he couldn't help but hold Xiaobai in his arms, caressing and comforting him gently.
After getting along with each other for a period of time, Lin Xi also knew that this little beast who only knew how to sleep and eat, and was strong in defense but not very good at attacking had an unusual identity. He also wanted to determine the identity of the little guy and help the little guy find its parents as soon as possible.
.From the beginning to the end, he never thought about taking Xiaobai as his own and making him his pet.
"Oh, by the way, Senior Miller, did Xiaobai piss you off?" Lin Xi suddenly remembered Senior God of War's expression of love and hate for the little guy, and naturally thought that the little guy had caused trouble again.
Xiaobai, who was still a little sad just now, started to wink at Miller again when he heard what Lin Xi said.
"I don't dare to sit on its back and travel around the world anymore." Miller said to Lin Xi "unhappily", "I suffered a lot along the way, wandering around like a little drunkard, and almost broke my bones.
Shake to pieces."
Lin Xi chuckled. He naturally understood why the little guy behaved like this. Nokic City was so far away from the Northern Army, and continuous flying was inevitable along the way. This was a huge torture for the little guy who was used to sleeping in.
, without much energy, it stumbled all the way to its destination. It was lucky, at least it didn't fall over.
The few people talked about a few more relaxed topics, but this pleasant atmosphere was only temporary. Miller and Monroe did not want to touch Linxi's sadness, and Linxi's mind was as messed up as a ball of paste before, and her mood was confused.
He was very depressed. Unexpectedly, he met two seniors who treated him very well, so the topic naturally deviated from the focus.
But now, Lin Xi thinks it's time to talk about this topic.
"Uncle's home in Noqi City was really confiscated by the empire?"
"I can't say that I ransacked the house. I just drove us out and sealed the house. Before coming here, I had properly arranged the whereabouts of the servants, but now, haha, Lin Xi, you can't enter that house either.
"Monroe spoke calmly, but his expression was very lonely. After all, after living in the General's Mansion for so many years, he had already developed a different feeling for the houses and people there. Now the house is gone, and things have changed.
It does feel like it adds a lot of sadness.
"Then where are we going? Are we going back to Nuoqicheng?" Lin Xi asked.
"Go back, go back first. The two old guys Chris and Leng Fan are still waiting. We will discuss it after we meet, and see where Lin Xi will go next. The original plan was to let you train in the army for a few more years, and your strength will naturally
will increase with it, but this road has also been cut off, and we have no choice but to find another way. With your strength, it is not enough to take revenge and deal with the Lane family who has been doing bad things to you. You also need to continue to practice. Therefore, we also
You have to plan carefully."
Without waiting for Lin Xi to say anything, Monroe took over what his apprentice Miller said.
"Lin Xi, I also know that you have always liked to plan your own life and follow the path of your own choice. I also know that it is disrespectful to interfere with a person, especially to restrain a person.
But these are extraordinary times, and we have to take over some things, so I hope you don’t mind."
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and then understood the meaning of Munro's words.
"I didn't have this idea. In fact, you have always respected the path I chose and helped me selflessly. I have never felt like I was being restrained by outsiders. My uncle is gone, and I can't stay here.
In the relatively safe army, there are people from the Lane family watching eagerly. I can clearly see what the actual situation is. Naturally, I can also see that several seniors are sincerely treating me. Don't worry, I won't hold any grudges.
As long as I can improve my strength as soon as possible, I'm not afraid no matter how hard or tiring it is."
"Actually, my master is also overly concerned." A smile appeared on Miller's withered face, "We old immortals don't want you to grow up according to our wishes, let alone turn you into our obedient boy without appearing pretentious.
If so, we are just caring about you and want to see what we can do for your growth during this extraordinary period."
Lin Xi nodded and skipped the matter. He understood the good intentions of some seniors, and it would be hypocritical to explain it any further. "I just don't know how uncle is doing in Appomato." Lin Xi then said, he
I'm a little worried about my uncle.
"General Nicholas must have had his own thoughts when he went to Appomato. If it was really treason, he would have told you Lin Xi beforehand. But don't worry, Lin Xi, your uncle has been on the battlefield for a long time and has never seen anything like this.
, he will come back well." What Miller said was not to comfort Lin Xi, but each sentence was sonorous and powerful, and it was obvious that he did not have any doubts about Nicholas, which also made Lin Xi secretly grateful to Miller.
We walked and stopped all the way, changing horses several times along the way. The journey was not slow, but it took us five days to reach Nuoqi City. There was definitely no need to go back to the General's Mansion. The place had been expropriated by the empire.
It's sealed, and there are soldiers patrolling nearby. It's obviously unrealistic and irrational to break in.
Therefore, the group of people simply went to an obscure two-story red building on the corner of Nochi Street. According to Miller, this is where they met with other people today.
From the outside, the decoration of this two-story building looks simple and elegant, and it is not necessarily very spacious, but after walking in, Lin Xi discovered that there is actually something special inside. The house looks very large, and the key is that it extends widely enough in the longitudinal direction. Passing through the courtyard dotted with lush trees
, passed a small lake like a mirror, and then arrived in front of the main house. There are deep courtyards around and behind the main house. Lin Xi even found that there was a separate area at the very edge, which seemed to be used for martial arts training.
of.
It was seniors Chris and Leng Fan who went out to greet them. Although they knew in advance that these two seniors would appear, Lin Xi was still moved when they actually stood in front of her with smiles on their faces and full of love.
After greeting each other, several people started to go straight to the topic. In addition, the topic was not familiar at first, and the topic started immediately.
