On this day, after Lin Xi fed the two little guys who were competing for food, she picked up the giant sword Lan Yan and was about to practice. Chris came back with a tired face. Lin Xi could even see his empty steps when he stepped through the door.
, staggered and almost fell to the ground, but finally managed to steady himself by holding on to the door frame.
Dean Chris had not been seen for more than 20 days, but now he saw him again. His eyes were sunken and he looked very tired. As he took off the white robe on his body, Lin Xi saw that the black clothes inside were torn, and there were even a few pieces.
There are dark-colored patches, which are obviously formed after blood coagulates.
As strong as Chris, with the strength of the ninth level peak, he was actually injured!
"Dean, how are you?" Linxi saw Chris leaning against the door, hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man, took the white robe, and asked with concern.
A smile appeared on Chris' tired face, and he waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing serious, which made Lin Xi feel relieved.
After helping Chris sit on a chair in the inner courtyard, Linxi hurriedly ran outside, checked carefully, and after confirming that no one was following him, he hurriedly closed the door and ran back to the inner courtyard.
"Dean Chris, your injury..."
"It's okay, I'm a little bit internally injured, just take a rest. Mainly because I haven't slept for many days and I'm a little tired." Chris leaned on the backrest with his whole body, even speaking seemed unable to do it. It can be imagined that he walked all the way from Notch Street
How much effort did it take to get here?
"Then Dean, please take a rest first. I'll prepare something to eat." Lin Xi hurriedly brought a stool for Chris to use as a stepping stone, and also urged Chris to get more rest.
Chris was obviously overworked, and instead of being pretentious with Lin Xi, he lay down on this large chair and closed his eyes to rest.
Lin Xi quietly made a silence gesture to the two little guys who were busy playing and playing in the yard. Soon, Xiao Bai and Manu calmed down. Lin Xi then went to the kitchen to prepare some supplies to recover from their injuries.
Good food. He usually lives alone in such a big house, and has to rely on him to provide food, clothing, housing and transportation. Therefore, it is not difficult for him to make some meals.
It was about eight o'clock in the morning when Chris came back, but he didn't wake up until the sun was setting and night was approaching.
Seeing Lin Xi and the two little guys still guarding him, Chris was moved. He lifted off the thin blanket covering his body, sat up straight, and said, "Lin Xi, you've been waiting for a long time. Hey,
Sometimes when people get older, they really feel that they are not good enough and their strength seems to be greatly reduced."
When he said this, Chris' eyes looked a little more lonely.
Lin Xi felt a faint pain in his heart. The dean had always been an optimistic person in front of him, but when this kind old man showed a trace of old age, his heart ached for no reason.
"Dean, how is your injury?" Linxi asked as she handed the cooked chicken soup to Chris.
"Much better. I used to feel that my body bones were still strong, but recently I met a master and almost made all my old bones fall apart, so I couldn't help but sigh. But Lin Xi, don't worry about me, I'm just tired.
It’s not like he would die just because of this little injury.”
Lin Xi nodded, but she was thinking in her heart who could injure the dignified Dean Chris? You must know that it has been more than ten years since the Dean reached the peak of the ninth level.
He once again achieved a breakthrough in 2016 and was able to get a glimpse of the realm of the Holy Order!
As if he saw what Lin Xi was thinking, after drinking the chicken soup, Chris smiled and said: "You must be thinking why I am so embarrassed?" At this time, Chris still did not forget to make a joke on himself.
.
Looking at the still optimistic old man, Lin Xi felt a little better, but the doubt was still not eliminated. He wanted to know the answer, so he nodded immediately.
The smile on Chris's face then faded, replaced by a serious look. "The time when the continent of Yaning undergoes a sudden change is not far away. Many monsters and monsters have been born one after another, trying to snatch anything that is beneficial to them, but they have no intention of doing so.
Consider the life and death of the people. The opponent's tyranny is really unexpected. I'm afraid that a catastrophe that will destroy all life will begin again in ten thousand years."
Lin Xi sat quietly on the chair and listened intently.
"Many people don't remember the war ten thousand years ago. Those who remember it only heard about it from the older generation. That war is customarily called the War between Gods and Demons. The specific battle scenes are no longer known, but even if it is
The chivalrous and courageous strongman known as the Great God finally won, but he still could not prevent a catastrophe. The demons danced wildly, and the righteous people fought back, but in the process, the people of the mainland suffered one after another. But now, an undercurrent is coming.
Spewing out, a catastrophe that is probably no less than the war between gods and demons ten thousand years ago is about to begin."
"How powerful are they?" Even though she had not personally experienced this undercurrent, just from the dean's narration, Lin Xi felt the depressive atmosphere and the prepared strength of the other party.
"It's hard to say." Chris sat on the chair, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "There are quite a few demons who have shown their true identity, but it's hard to say if it's not the tip of the iceberg of all of them. But to take a step back, according to the current situation
The enemies that appeared were full of enemies. These demons alone were enough to throw the Yaning continent into chaos, but the actual situation was far from that. The boss behind the scenes of the opponent still did not show up. If they really wanted to come out in full force, the mainland would inevitably be in chaos again.
A bloody storm.
My injury this time was related to the head-on encounter with these people. These people basically acted alone, and it was not time for a collective confrontation with us, but there were quite a few peak ninth-level experts among them, and even I
Several powerful men with holy level strength have been discovered, which is scary enough. Another scary thing is that the lowest strength of the warriors sent to act like vanguards has reached the ninth level, which also makes
We are shocked. Just the early stage personnel have such terrifying strength. If this secret organization does not control a large part of the warriors' power, I would not believe it."
Regardless of his physical exhaustion, Chris spoke for a long paragraph in one breath, without treating Lin Xi as a young man with only late-level fifth-level strength. In his opinion, Lin Xi was the talent that the four of them unanimously valued, and it was very possible.
It has grown into a backbone against the enemy, so letting Lin Xi come into contact with these now is not completely useless.
"Haven't the major forces on the mainland been clearly divided for a long time? If such a large and terrifying force suddenly appeared, no one would have noticed it beforehand?" Lin Xi immediately thought of this question.
Chris nodded, but said helplessly: "The continent of Yaning has been peaceful for too long, so that all the major forces are busy fighting with each other and trying to expand their own territory and influence, but they have ignored the underground forces.
It grows secretly. When the opponent has become a threat, when they notice it again, they find that the seriousness of the situation has been beyond their control. Some forces still have conscience and resolutely join the resistance at this critical moment, but there are still forces
We are waiting and watching, and even thinking about how to join us. In short, people on the mainland have different opinions, which also gives this force an opportunity to grow."
Lin Xi knew this very well after hearing this. In the Northern Legion, the most promoted thing in the army is unity, which makes Lin Xi understand the truth of life and death better than ordinary people. What is hateful and annoying is that some big families and powerful forces are not like this.
I think they are only thinking about how to obtain the maximum benefit for themselves. It can be said that the crazy spread of underground forces has a great relationship with these people's connivance and mentality of not caring about themselves. The growth of evil forces often takes advantage of
In spite of people's ulterior motives, if the big families and powerful forces that have a say in military force can act like the army, how can they allow the catastrophe of thousands of years ago to happen again?
After Chris finished speaking, he lay down to rest for a while, then raised his head and suddenly said to Lin Xi: "Do you want to know the news about your uncle?"
Lin Xi's heart trembled for no reason. He was afraid that something bad would happen. After all, Dean Chris chose to tell the matter at this time, and his uncle's situation was probably very bad. But he had to face it no matter what.
Lin Xi nodded immediately.
"Your uncle General Nicholas personally led Appomato's heavy knights, together with a general named Keizer, to attack the Northern Army early yesterday morning. Appomato's army took a slight advantage and then left safely."
The information revealed in Chris' calm words shocked Linxi!
How could it be like this? Lin Xi really couldn't believe the news, but the words came from the old dean's mouth, so he couldn't help but not believe it.
The uncle who had not been heard from for four months appeared in this way! Even though people had guessed this way, they didn't expect that the famous iron-blooded general of the Noqi Empire would actually do this!
Obviously, Appomato at least superficially believed his uncle, but his uncle actually led troops from other countries to the land of his motherland to fight against his usual subordinates and comrades! Now, the traitor's hat has been put on the uncle's head.
It's so tight that you can't take it off even if you want to!
The fact is indeed as Lin Xi guessed. After the battle, the criticism of Nicholas in the Northern Army reached a crazy level. Nicholas's behavior made the army full of anger and curses. He was not only a traitor, but also a traitor.
The words were said ten times and a hundred times more unpleasantly.
It is hard to imagine that a general with outstanding military exploits would suffer such a scene in his life. Nicholas's former comrades and colleagues did not believe that he would do this, but in fact he did it in the end. The more he cared about it, the more he hated it.
Thinking of Hilario, the top military commander of Neo City who defected last time, he has endured so much more infamy and anger!
But even if everyone in the world despises his uncle and thinks he is a traitor, Lin Xi will not.
"I still believe in my uncle. He must have had a last resort or a plan that forced him to do this."
Chris looked at the young man in front of him with pursed lips and an extremely determined look. He was silent for a while, and then he laughed. "I also believe that General Nicholas is still a good general. The truth will eventually be revealed to the world."
Chris spent one night in this newly bought two-story house. When he got up the next morning, his energy was obviously much better. At this moment, Lin Xi had also gotten up, and the two of them
Standing at the door, the bustling Noqi Street was connected to the door.
"Lin Xi, I'm leaving first. You can practice here peacefully. The situation is very chaotic right now. It is estimated that the Lane family will soon be busy with its own chores, so you don't have to worry about them using secret arrows against you.
Don't worry, it won't be long before you can go out to the outside world to experience and make a career." Chris opened the door, turned around and said to Lin Xi at the end.
"I understand, Dean, please pay more attention to your safety outside."
Chris nodded, then stepped out and quickly disappeared on Nuoqi Street. Linxi gently closed the door and continued practicing.
