Just when Elder Hughes temporarily scared away the Silver Miracle Nicholas, an exquisite and gorgeous carriage drove briskly out of the City of Oracle and sped towards Dresden. w w w. q u a n b e n. c o m
The carriage was extremely finely built and was pulled by four strange creatures that looked like deer and horses. It was obvious that the elf driving the carriage was also a master in the art. He drove the carriage through the completely roadless mountainous area, effortlessly finding a path that was barely passable in the rugged terrain.
The carriage is not big, but it is as if it is suspended on two wheels. No matter how the wheels rise and fall, it always maintains a stable balance. When encountering a road that is really difficult to pass, the four creatures pulling the carriage will use their force at the same time to lift the entire carriage into the air. After gliding in the air for a short distance, it will land lightly and continue moving forward.
There was a beautiful elf sitting in the carriage. Her pale golden hair was like a slowly flowing golden waterfall. Her skin was as moist as ivory. There was a hint of sadness and a hint of sadness on her delicate face. tired. Perhaps because she felt a slight chill, she shrank her neck slightly and wrapped her thick clothes tighter.
She was like a kitten, curled up into a ball because of the cold, looking weak, slender, and pitiful.
But it looked like she was very tired from traveling for a long time. Her body softened and she leaned gently against a man sitting next to her.
The man was round, well-dressed, and had a kind face. There was a faint feeling of calmness and authority in his gaze.
This person dressed as a great magician is none other than Rogge.
He moved his body, letting the elf lean more comfortably, and said with a smile: "You must be tired, Fengdie. But it doesn't matter, we will be able to rest soon. You see, it has only been more than a month. You can already walk on the ground, so don’t worry, your injury will be completely healed. After staying in the City of Oracle for so long, are you bored? It will be fine when we get to Dresden."
Fengdie was indeed a little tired. She closed her eyes slightly. Master Ge, you are so busy, but you always find time to see me. Aren't you afraid that I will really fall in love with you and drag you to hell with me? "
Roger laughed, of course I was afraid! But so many people want me to go to hell, am I still alive and well? One more of you is not more, and one less of you is not more. "
Fengdie moved again, put herself in a more comfortable position, and whispered: "Master Rogge, I know that you treat me like this because of Adjani. But my martial arts skills cannot It's hard to say whether I can restore my original state. If I can't restore it, then I'm no different from an ordinary elf. You never do useless things. You waste so much time on me. You might as well spend more time on Androni and Fu. What about Luo Ya! They will be more helpful to you, right?"
Rogge gently stroked Fengdie's slender and beautiful ears and smiled: "How could I be that kind of person?"
"Obviously, you are." Feng Die's voice became lower and lower, and finally, she leaned against Rogge and fell asleep deeply.
Looking at Fengdie's sleeping face, Rogge surprisingly felt a sense of tranquility. His tense nerves slowly relaxed. The cabin is warm, luxurious and comfortable, which is in sharp contrast to the snow-capped peaks outside the window. Rogel listened to Fengdie Junjing's long breathing, and gradually felt a hint of tiredness himself.
Before falling asleep, Rogge suddenly hoped that this wonderful journey could be longer.
"Let go of yourself, open your whole heart to him, completely trust him and rely on him..." In the deepest part of Feng Die's consciousness, a voice was echoing repeatedly...
Rogge returned to the City of Oracle this time not just to bring back Fengdie.
Hughes has told him everything about Nicholas' revenge, which naturally includes the fact that Nicholas has mastered the ultimate transformation technique and can transform into a human or an elf at any time. Except for Nicholas's true strength, Hughes told the truth.
What Hughes said to Rogge was that Nicholas seemed stronger than Krisferena, that's all. Of course, this sentence is also true when considered strictly. After hearing this, Rogge felt a lot calmer. In his heart, he vaguely felt that if there were two people from the sanctuary guarding him, the silver dragon would have to escape.
And if there is a person from the sanctuary around, it is not impossible to fight Nicholas. Now that *** has stabilized his position in the other world, although he ordered her not to move, if his life is really in danger, he still has the confidence that *** will not sit idly by and ignore it.
Rogge didn't know whether Nicholas could still maintain the terrifying defense in the silver dragon form after using the ultimate transformation technique to transform into human beings. But according to Hughes, the advanced transformation technique can completely transform into the target creature and possess all the characteristics of the target creature. At the same time, the characteristics before transformation can also be enhanced to the target creature to a great extent. But no matter what, it is impossible for Nicholas, who has shrunk in size, to completely copy all the characteristics of the silver dragon. If that were the case, the scaled-down Silver Dragon would really be invincible. In this way, in fact, after using the transformation, Nicholas's overall strength has not improved, but has declined. The good news is that after the transformation, the silver dragon immediately turned from light to dark, making it extremely difficult to guard against.
Fortunately, according to what Hughes said, Nicholas had not left Moonlight Dragon City for more than three hundred years. He must have no knowledge of the world of humans or elves. This may be the only advantage he can take advantage of.
"Besides, how does it know that I killed its wife? If it doesn't work, just let two people take the blame." Thinking of this, Rogge felt a lot more at ease. Of course, the fat man didn't know that the glorious image of him surrounded by seven magic light shields that day had already been deeply engraved in Nicholas's soul.
This time when he returned to the City of Oracle, Rogge mainly wanted to see how the newly researched items of the Immortal Tree Tribe, which was good at architecture, were being prepared. Recently, several new magic spells have been successfully used. After preliminary testing, Rogge was extremely satisfied with the results. In the future, I will just wait and let the enemy suffer a lot during the battle.
After a winter, the elves' griffons finally adapted to the northern climate and could move around normally. Rogge suddenly had more than a dozen scouts and liaison soldiers who could fly. As for the other mythical beasts of each tribe, they were either frozen to death in the harsh winter, or they were barely surviving. They were struggling to adapt to the climate of the North and were not of much use for the time being.
He originally wanted to see Fengdie and leave, but Hughes insisted that he take Fengdie to Dresden. Fengdie was recovering from a serious injury and could not withstand traveling like this at all, but Hughes built such a carriage, making traveling even in the barren mountains a rare enjoyment.
Double magic circles are engraved on the base of the carriage, one is used to reduce weight and the other is used to maintain balance. The exquisite craftsmanship of the elves is perfectly reflected in this carriage. No matter what position the two wheels are in, the carriage will remain generally horizontal. There is also a magic circle hidden on the floor of the carriage, and heat slowly comes from under the feet, making people extremely comfortable in this cold winter. When the summer is hot, the magic circle on the roof of the carriage will be activated, and the cool air will turn the carriage into a paradise.
In addition, the four seven-colored deer pulling the cart were originally a very powerful animal in the forest. It is said that they have some blood relationship with the unicorn and are one of the mythical beasts of the seven-colored deer tribe. If you want to use them to pull a cart, only elves or druids who have trained for many years can do it.
Of course, Elf's artistic taste is unparalleled. Even if you don't consider the value of the jewelry decorated on the car itself, the handiwork alone is definitely worth a lot of money. Hughes was well aware of Rogge's habits and character. In the eyes of experts, this implicitly disguised carriage was priceless and unparalleledly luxurious.
At this point, Rogge had no reason not to like this carriage, and no reason not to take Feng Die away.
One day later, this magical car carried Rogge and Feng Die back to Dresden.
Although the Arei Principality is a small country, the old manager of the Grand Duke's Palace has seen a lot of good things over the past thirty years. When he saw this carriage parked at the entrance of the Grand Duke's Palace, he was still shocked. The old steward was stunned for a long time, and it was not until Rogge opened the door that he realized what was happening. He rushed to the carriage faster than the young servant and wanted to personally serve the great magician Rogge. Just judging from the speed of sprinting several tens of meters, it is completely impossible to tell that he is already an old man in his sixties.
When Rogge helped the slightly lazy and tired Feng Die out of the car, Feng Die's beautiful face once again shocked everyone present.
When Fengdie followed Rogge in the past, she always hid her beautiful appearance under her helmet and always wore battle armor. She looked more heroic than elegant. But this time she didn't hide her face, and she was seriously injured and couldn't wear any armor. She finally showed off her unparalleled elegance in a gorgeous dress.
The old manager was the first to react. He saw too many beautiful elves around Rogge, and there was also a peerless beauty named Froya. The more you see beauties, the less shocked you will be.
Although he was a little surprised that Lord Rogge came back alone, if he thought about the bandits on the road, if they had the idea of such a great magician, it would naturally be due to bad luck.
Rogge helped Fengdie walk towards his room. The old steward and more than ten maids and servants followed closely behind, fearing that the service would not be adequate. The general manager of the Grand Duke's Palace was originally of high status, and even Shilay wanted to curry favor with him that day. But he is already over sixty, and he is eager to live another three to five years. Great magicians like Rogge are obviously his hope. What's more, the Grand Duke's Mansion has a new owner. It's time for the old one to go and the new one to come. In order to hold on to the position in front of him, the old manager had already put all his old bones into practice and used all the skills he had used to serve Grand Duke Tikrik when he was young.
"Where's Adele?" Rogge asked casually.
"She went to inspect a batch of newly made combat knives. Not that I'm blabbering, but she is already pregnant, and having to work so hard every day is not good for the child." The manager replied.
Rogge nodded. He had already learned about Adele's enthusiasm for power. As for whether the child in her belly was dead or alive, Rogge would never care.
After settling Fengdie, Rogge went to the newly built temple of the Eye of Wisdom alone.
Today is the day that Eye of Wisdom made an appointment with Rogge. On this day, Saint Mora will summon the goddess Audreyh to the world for the first time in the new temple.
Rogge, dressed in casual clothes, stood silently in front of the new temple of the Eye of Wisdom for a long time.
After meeting Rogge that day, Mora immediately selected an extremely grand and huge house in the north of the city as the location of the new temple. This house originally belonged to a well-known wealthy businessman from the Holy Alliance, and it would cost a lot to buy it. When Rogge heard about this, he just smiled. Even if Eye of Wisdom can afford the money, whether the person is willing to sell it or not is another matter. Based on his impressions from that time, Rogge determined that the Eye of Wisdom would not be too wealthy. Not much time has passed now. How could this church, which 90% of the time seems to be a cult, become a cult so quickly
But the news that came immediately surprised Rogge.
Wisdom Eyes took ownership of the house without spending a penny. The reason is very simple, Saint Mora inspired the wealthy businessman!
After this incident, Rogge asked Froya to quietly meet with the wealthy businessman. "He fell under a natural charm." The goblin, who is a master in magic, concluded.
The natural charm effect lasts far longer than ordinary charm magic, and its power is by no means comparable to ordinary magic. This ability is extremely rare. As far as Rogge knows, only a few high-level forest elves have such innate skills. It's really incredible that this kind of ability appears in a human woman. It seems that Mora has some forest elf blood in her body. In this way, it makes sense for the Eye of Wisdom to develop so quickly in the Principality of Leighton. At least Audreyh chose the right envoy for himself.
But this ability is doomed to be completely useless on Rogge, who is so determined that he is almost paranoid. However, there are only a few ordinary people who have endured all kinds of hardships like Rogge, not to mention possessing huge mental power like him.
In a short period of time, the Eye of Wisdom completely transformed the house into the appearance of a temple. This degree of transformation can almost be called a miracle. But as long as you think about thousands of people working feverishly day and night, this speed will not be surprising.
Rogge mingled among the crowd, silently watching the miraculous rise of the Eye of Wisdom Temple. The whole temple looks tall, heavy and steady. But the huge bleeding eyes on the front made Rogge feel vaguely uncomfortable. With this mark, the whole temple exudes an evil smell.
Compared with the huge main hall, the extremely spacious courtyard is also the reason why Mora fell in love with this place. The Eye of Wisdom has announced that today will be the day when the true God will come. Now the entire courtyard was crowded with people. Rogge made a rough estimate that there were nearly ten thousand people! In this way, one out of every ten people in Dresden is crowded here.
From the discussions of these people, Rogge knew that there were many people watching the excitement, and most of them had doubts about the arrival of the true god claimed by the Eye of Wisdom. In an era when the Church of Light increasingly dominates the continent, life for small sects is becoming increasingly difficult.
The time of Advent is near.
Saint Mora has appeared at the gate of the main hall, and behind her are dozens of followers wearing black robes. These people looked just like what Rogge had seen that day, with most of their faces hidden under the hats of their black robes, looking mysterious.
"A cult is a cult!" Rogge was a little funny at first, but then he sensed that the eight people behind Mora had strong magic fluctuations on their bodies, and he stopped laughing. It seems that Eye of Wisdom’s family background is quite good!
The courtyard was already crowded with people at this moment.
After Saint Mora appeared, the crowd fell silent, waiting for her to announce the start of the ceremony. But Maura stood quietly, her eyes searching the crowd intentionally or unintentionally, as if she was looking for someone.
Rogge quietly used his brute force and squeezed forward easily and calmly.
Rogge was determined to test Mora's strength and began to increase the magic power. Seeing that the superior Maura had no reaction at all, he felt relieved and smiled slightly.
Suddenly, Maura's face was filled with joy, and her clear eyes fell on Rogge!
Rogge's heart was beating wildly, and he had no idea how Mora found him among nearly ten thousand people. Could it be that she really had an oracle
Thinking of the dreamy woman in gray robe and silver eyes that day, the fat man couldn't help but break out in sweat, and his legs became a little weak.
"***, I'm here to negotiate terms, not to fight! Even if it's a fight, I'm not helpless at all!" Rogge encouraged himself secretly.
He came prepared today and still had a trump card in his hand.
Both Androni and Froya had seen too many of this cult's seance rituals and were completely uninterested. Rogge happened to be unwilling to let them come either. With the power of Odaireh that Irog had witnessed that day, even if they were present, it would be of no use. Only those in the Holy Realm can fight against Odaireh.
"If that old guy Hughes is here, he might be able to deal with the old fox's mystery. One day, I will squeeze out all his old tricks." Rogge thought to himself.
In the crowd, a priest with an eye of wisdom gestured to Rogge, and then struggled to squeeze through the crowd towards the side door of the temple.
Rogge raised his head to the sky, vaguely sensing the breath of ***, and finally felt at ease.
The fat man mustered up his courage, followed the guide with the Eye of Wisdom, and disappeared into the side door of the temple.
The main entrance of the temple was originally a hall with a height of ten meters, which could be used to hold large banquets and dances. Now it has been greatly expanded and has become the main place for believers to pray and worship. Since the construction had just been completed, the smell of wood and paint still lingered in the air.
Those who are qualified to sit in the worship hall at this moment are the most devout believers who have joined the Eye of Wisdom. In front of God, faith is the only criterion for measuring everything.
Rogge, led by the guide, went directly to the altar at the back from the side door. The prayer room where the altar is located was built by opening up several rooms so that it could accommodate the huge summoning magic circle.
The guide brought Rogg to the altar and paid homage to Lord Rogg. The great goddess Audreyh has passed down the oracle through Saint Mora. You are the only one who can stay here when she comes. I will go out now. Please rest assured and wait for the arrival of the true God. Sir, in the Eye of Wisdom, apart from the three or five people like Saint Mora and Elder Carmon, you are the only one who can see the true God! What a blessing! "
During the conversation, the guide was extremely envious.
Roger was noncommittal. He had already met Audreyhe, but unfortunately he was really scared that day. Looking back afterwards, although he had seen the true God, he still knew almost nothing about God. Perhaps the person who knows the most about God in the world is the Pope, right? There are still many descending angels hidden in his Church of Light.
He calmed down and waited calmly for the arrival of the sacred moment.
There was sudden silence between heaven and earth.
The nearly ten thousand noisy crowd inside and outside the temple suddenly felt something at the same time. They all closed their mouths and involuntarily focused their eyes on the big bloody eye on the temple.
In the silence, a little boy's high-pitched voice suddenly sounded: "I saw it! That eye blinked! I saw it! I see..." He was immediately covered by his panicked mother. The simple woman quickly began to pray. As for whether the prayer was related to the goddess Audreyhe, she didn't care so much.
Everyone outside the temple focused on that huge eye. This time, everyone clearly felt that the eyes were alive, looking down at the people below.
People were so shocked that they opened their mouths and were speechless.
A bit of milky white light lit up in the pupil of the huge eye. In the blink of an eye, this light was so bright that it was almost blinding!
Some devout believers were so excited that they fell to their knees with tears in their eyes, chanting prayers in praise of the goddess Audreyh.
At this moment, the entire Temple of the Eye of Wisdom began to glow with holy light. It was as if there was a landslide and tsunami in the temple, and the holy power was increasing endlessly!
Divine power is like the sea.
Wave after wave of sacred power surged out from the Temple of the Eye of Wisdom, washing away everyone's hearts and souls. In the sacred power of Tao Tian, people panicked, just like sinking into the deepest sea on a stormy night. However, the sacred wave passed, and they found themselves safe and sound again.
Divine power is like fire.
The milky-white sacred flame soared into the sky from the top of the temple, spraying dozens of meters into the air before gradually dissipating. In the huge sacred flame, there are dozens of little angels flying faintly.
Suddenly, an extremely loud hymn sounded from the depths of everyone's soul. The sound of this hymn was so high and loud that it was as if there was no noise in the world!
Everything comes suddenly and goes away suddenly.
Silence.
A cold, clear, and arrogant voice that does not belong to this world sounded deep in everyone's soul:
"Whoever believes in me will be saved."
In the face of such divine power, all the people trembled and fell to the ground, and some pious people were so excited that they cried loudly, unable to control themselves because they could be so close to the true God in their lifetime.
"Believers!" Saint Mora shouted loudly, her sweet voice was like singing a sacred and solemn aria, "The great goddess Audreyh has just descended into this world! We have used our own The souls feel the majesty and glory of God! Now, let us remember this moment and praise the great goddess Audreyh together!"
A ray of holy light rose from Mora's feet. In the pillar of holy light, Mora slowly rose into the air, her eyes glowed with two dots of golden light, and her golden hair was flying in the pillar of holy light without wind!
Maura's voice became extremely distant, long, and solemn, with endless reverberation, shocking everyone's heart.
Natural charm.
With the support of huge holy power, Mora's natural ability was enhanced several times. Every time she recited a line of praise for Odelech, someone would repeat it.
In a moment, the uniform voice of hymns chanting to the goddess Odelech resounded throughout the sky above Dresden.
As for the most devout believers in the inner hall of the temple, they were in the center of the surge of holy power. They all fell on the ground devoutly, trying desperately to engrave every bit of their experience deep in their memories.
Inside and outside the temple, there was only one person who was neither happy nor excited. All he had was unspeakable fear.
Rogge mustered up all his courage and tried his best to stabilize his increasingly weak knees to prevent him from falling to the ground. He was so brave that he could barely look at Audreyh, who was floating in the air in a gray robe and looking at him quietly.
"I'm here to negotiate terms, not to fight!" Fatty encouraged himself repeatedly.
Audreyh's black and silver eyes were as beautiful as a dream. Rogge wanted to keep his eyes on her face for a while, but he always turned to one side involuntarily.
"Discourteous." Audreyh broke the calm. The anger in her cold voice made Rogge's hair stand up.
"Great... great Oderekh, although you are an extremely noble true god, but... but I am not your believer yet. You should use your kindness and tolerance to inspire me, so that I can become the eye of wisdom. However, I refuse to dedicate my faith to any god." Rogge was still stammering in the first few sentences, but at the end, he thought that the words had been spoken anyway, so he put his mind to it, and he became more and more fluent.
He recalled the situation when he met Audreyh that day, and he had a vague feeling that she had no intention of killing him, so he became more courageous and was able to continue bargaining.
A small storm formed between Audreyh's brows, which made Rogge's mouth dry and his heart almost stopped beating.
"What do you want?"
Rogge's voice became very dry: "Great Odeleh, you are a true god, so you wouldn't be embarrassed to do it to me personally, right? That would... be very rewarding."
The fat man then remembered that this goddess didn't seem to care much about her identity and face. Although she didn't move her hands that day, she did move her feet, and it was definitely not light. Maybe it was a light kick to God, but with the fat man's body, his chest was really swollen for several days.
Thinking of that kick that day, Rogge's heart trembled. He couldn't suppress his lust and couldn't help but look at Audreyh's feet.
Sure enough, they were still a pair of bare feet as ice-like and snow-like, crystal clear.
Immediately, a milky white light lit up on the toes, burning Rogge's eyes with a huge pain. For a moment, he couldn't see anything.
Rogge closed his eyes, restrained himself from screaming, and finally opened his eyes. His eyes were already red and swollen, and he was crying. He was afraid of irritating Odeleh again, so he looked straight into Odeleh's silver eyes. It's a pity that her face became blurred amid the tears.
The fat man put on the most flattering smile to respect the goddess, I have already experienced your power! I never meant to offend you in any way! But your beauty is really not what this world should have, so I would be rude! Having said that, if I don't lose my composure after seeing your beauty, that would be truly rude and offensive. Don't be angry, I'll get down to business. As a humble holder of secular power, I will assist your followers and your religion in whatever way I can, allowing them to practice their religion freely in the territories under my jurisdiction, including, of course, my present and future territories. However, as your loyal and humble servant, can you give me a little reward? "
"What do you want?" she asked calmly.
Rogge's spirited believers are priceless. And I am just a humble layman. Compared to faith, I only want something insignificant, gold coins. As a price for fully supporting the Eye of Wisdom, I would like to levy a small tax on the income generated by the church in my territory..."
Audreyh's calm gaze made Rogg feel uncomfortable. He always felt that this goddess was not easy to deceive.
He hurriedly said: "Of course, of course, this tax does not need to be levied. In order to better protect your believers, can you give me dozens... several... ah no! A divine weapon is enough! Of course, a dead man I can't protect your believers. Although I am a good magician, there are too many strong enemies among my enemies. Can you give me one or two more divine powers? If you are afraid of trouble, then Mora The natural charm of the saint is not bad! Also, if my life is threatened, you will not sit idly by and ignore it, right?"
The fat man's wishful thinking was very good. If there was a true god who could come to the world to back him up, then how could he care about the silver dragon or the wrath of the sky? Taking advantage of the fact that Odelech had just come into the world, it was obvious that she was a little different about him, so he wanted to trick her into making a divine prophecy as soon as possible. Once there is the blessing of the true god, even if the wrath of the sky does not come to provoke him, he will come to provoke him.
Think about it, with the goddess coming directly by his side, who does he have to be afraid of? In the past hundred years, none of the gods that have been believed in by the world for a long time have come to this world in person.
Rogge couldn't help but start to feel proud. He counted his enemies one by one, and finally thought of the Pope, and suddenly felt a sudden shock in his heart.
"You are very brave, you dare to lie to me so bluntly." A storm gathered between Odereh's brows again. This time, thunder and lightning were already shining in the dark storm.
Rogge's legs went weak, but he managed to stand firm and said tremblingly: "Great Odeleh, although your power and miracles are great, they are still very small compared to the miracles of the Supreme God of the Church of Light. Not as good as that. And I am also a powerful magician. You have just arrived. If you want to spread your followers, my assistance is very important to you. This condition is not high, is it? ?”
After saying this, he was already sweating profusely.
"You are so disrespectful, aren't you afraid that I will punish you?"
Rogge suddenly raised his head. "Big goddess, although I am just a humble mortal, I am not completely powerless to resist." "
"Of course I know." Audreyh suddenly smiled softly. At this moment, the room seemed to become brighter. The entire temple shook slightly, and Rogge felt dizzy again.
"You are so bold, right?"
Audreyh pointed his delicate hand in the air and shouted softly: "Summon!"
While Rogge was stunned, a bone dragon and a body covered in demon lotus suddenly emerged from the void, as if they were pulled out by an invisible giant hand.
Of course the fat man didn't know that the demon lotus was completely empty at this moment.
"Restraint!"
The Demonic Lotus, which had just raised the Death Scythe like lightning, stopped in response and was completely frozen in the air, as if it had never moved.
Rogge felt a severe cold coming from deep inside his heart, and his teeth began to chatter uncontrollably.
Audreyh's slender hands slowly drew a beautiful arc from the air...
"Retreat!"
"God, I didn't mean to offend you..." The bone dragon wailed and disappeared into the void.
The demon lotus struggled for a few times, gradually became distorted and blurred, and finally disappeared.
Rogge desperately tried to summon the dragon and bone dragon in his heart, but of course, he couldn't get any response.
Just like that day, Audreyh slowly flew in front of Rogge.
Looking at her dreamy face, Fatty was still standing, but he was frozen with fear.
"Are you afraid of me?"
"Grog!"
"We can talk again. What is the most common way people in this world show their piety?"
"Gege!"
"You're right, it's a donation! So are you willing to donate?"
Rogge nodded desperately!
"Very good. For the time being, your donation will be set at 200,000 gold coins per year! You are very capable, and Mora will ask for your opinion on every step of the development of Eye of Wisdom in the future."
Amid a slightly triumphant chuckle, Audreyh's figure finally disappeared.
The frightened Rogge could no longer hold on. His legs gave out and he sat down on the ground. (Quanben Novel Network www.qUAnbEn-xIaosHuo.com)
