Seeing Feimei walking straight towards him, and the female general releasing waves of powerful aura, attacking him very specifically, Long Xuanyuan did not get angry but laughed instead, with his hands behind his back, his frost-covered hair dancing in the wind.
He did not show his star power, nor did he release his aura. He was like a solid reef in the sea, allowing Feimei's aura to impact him, but he remained standing.
On the transfer platform, even the most dull-witted people knew that General Storm had come with ill intentions. Xiao Jin and other members of the Golden Court Investigation Team were about to stand in front of Long Xuanyuan.
However, there was a gentle aura that "pressed" them where they were. Xiao Jin couldn't help but look at Long Xuanyuan. Knowing that this was what he meant, he winked at the others and stood by and watched.
Long Xuanyuan was a member of the Golden Court, a councillor, and the lord of a fortress. His status and position were both prominent. If it were before, Chu Yan would be happy to see Fei Mei causing trouble for him, but now, as the acting lord, there were some things he couldn't ignore.
The old commander coughed dryly: "Feimei."
As soon as the voice sounded, General Storm stopped and kept a distance of ten steps from Long Xuanyuan.
"Where is my godfather now?" Feimei looked directly at Long Xuanyuan, her voice and even her facial expression calm.
Long Xuanyuan smiled and said, "Mr. Yuan is very good. We played chess together yesterday."
Feimei's expression eased a little: "I want to see him."
"No problem. In fact, Mr. Yuan also hopes to meet you before going back with us." Long Xuanyuan turned sideways. "Let's go now?"
Feimei nodded, then made a gesture, and the Storm Squad escorted Lin Quan over.
Long Xuanyuan nodded slightly, and Xiao Jin and others stepped forward and took Lin Quan from the Storm Squad, thus completing the handover.
Next, Feimei got into the car with Long Xuanyuan, while Lin Quan was sent to a safe place by Xiao Jin and others.
After the people from the Golden Court left, Chu Yan also gestured, and everyone prepared to leave.
Han Shu caught up with Lan Long, clenched his fist and coughed, "Uncle Lan, where is Tianyang? Didn't he come back with you guys?"
Lan Long stopped and looked at Han Shu with a serious expression.
Han Shu's heart skipped a beat: "No way, that kid wouldn't..."
The blue dragon shook his head and said, "It's not what you think. We'll talk about this later. At least, we have to wait until the people from the Golden Council leave."
Han Shu first breathed a sigh of relief, but then his heart skipped a beat. He knew something must have happened to Tianyang, and it was a serious matter, so serious that even Blue Dragon didn't dare to publicize it, fearing that the Golden Council would get wind of it.
What happened to that kid...
In the magnetic car of the Golden Court, Fei Mei looked straight ahead and said calmly, "Three years later, in Longyan Castle, we will ask the Lord of Long City for advice."
The atmosphere in the magnetic energy car suddenly became solemn.
After a moment, Long Xuanyuan smiled and responded: "Okay."
When the car stopped, Feimei saw a courtyard. Long Xuanyuan got out of the car and said with his hands behind his back, "Mr. Yuan is inside, you can go in by yourself."
Feimei nodded, pushed open the door, and saw a row of osmanthus trees planted in the yard. Now, petals were falling from time to time, and when the wind blew, it was a rain of flowers.
In the rain of flowers, there was a figure standing straight and sharp as a sword.
Yuan Shu!
He seemed to realize something, turned around, and smiled.
Bloom: "Child, you are back..."
The lines on Feimei's face softened: "Godfather, tell me you didn't do that."
Yuan Shu laughed, looked up at the sky, and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, kid. I did order Lin Quan and Wei Chengzhou to conduct alien god research. There is nothing to hide about this, and I don't want to say anything against my will to you."
Feimei's body trembled slightly: "Why?"
"In order to explore another path to power." Yuan Shu said bluntly, "Thousands of years ago, the first alien god appeared in this world. The ancient will parasitized on the skin, crossed the Krav Gate, entered our world, and caused an unprecedented disaster."
"That war between alien gods caused the continent to collapse and created a 'scarlet rift'. What a mighty force that was!"
Feimei stepped forward and said, "Since you know how terrible EsGod is, why do you still want to conduct such dangerous research!"
Yuan Shu looked at his adopted daughter fiercely, not retreating an inch: "Tian Zhen, do you think the Golden Court and the four major churches really have no interest in alien gods?"
"No, the Tianguan Agreement is only to consolidate their position and prevent other fortresses and other people from studying alien gods."
"And they, I'm afraid, have never stopped their research on alien gods and the 'tomb' over the years!"
"Otherwise, the Church of the Lord of War would not have intervened so forcefully 17 years ago. Even in this expedition, didn't they rush to participate? What are they doing this for? They are collecting the Dusk Slates, hoping to find a way to control the alien gods and use their power from them!"
Yuan Shu patted his chest and said, "Compared to them, what I did is nothing."
Feimei said solemnly: "But have you ever thought about what your research will bring to this fortress?"
Yuan Shu waved his hands and said, "You don't have to look at me like that. I know what I'm doing. In fact, I've already planned that once the research has achieved some results, I will hand over the fortress to you, and I and the people involved will leave the Sky Fortress."
"I worked so hard to make it what it is today, how can I destroy it so easily?"
"It's a pity that the Golden Council got there first before the expedition was even over."
Yuan Shu closed his eyes, and seemed to have aged a lot in an instant: "Forget it, there is no point in talking about this now. Feimei, I am leaving, I will leave the Sky Fort to you."
"Chu Yan is too impulsive and too emotional. He is not suitable to be the city lord."
"Cao Gang is loyal to me and capable, but he doesn't know how to adapt and is too stubborn about many things. He is also not a suitable candidate for the city lord."
"Only you, Feimei. I trust you to leave the fortress to you. You can definitely do better than me. It's just that you are still young and sometimes you think too naively."
"Remember, Feimei. Don't think you can bring happiness to everyone. That's unrealistic. You have to appease the upper class, manage the middle class, and provide the people at the bottom with enough food and clothing."
"You can make their lives better, but don't think about getting rich overnight. Do it step by step. People are greedy. If you give them too much at once and can't continue to give in the future, they will not only not be grateful to you, but will resent you."
"Okay, you can go now. This is probably the last time we meet. Son, you have to be strong."
After saying that, Yuan Shu smiled.
That smile made Feimei feel like she was back in the old days.
That night.
On that night filled with fire and blood, when she was wandering and not knowing where to go, standing in the ruins and crying helplessly, when she was picked up by a big warm hand, this was the smile she saw.
"Godfather..."
Feimei knelt down on one knee and lowered her head towards the figure walking into the house, letting a drop of crystal water fall to the ground and splash into the dust.
Transfer platform.
Several more magnetic vehicles drove out of the Kraft Gate and stopped at the transfer platform. The staff on the vehicles got off one after another and unloaded the instruments and cargo in the vehicles.
Those were the things brought back by the expeditionary force. At this time, a man wearing protective clothing and a helmet quietly left.
He got into a magnetic car with its door open, took off his helmet, took out an ID card and inserted it into the magnetic car's identifier.
After the identifier flashed for a while, an electronic synthesized voice sounded: "Identification completed, good morning, Colonel Wei Chengzhou."
... ... ...
The car jolted violently, waking Tianyang up. He had just dozed off and had a dream. In the dream, he was back in Skyfort, still living in the small shack, and telling his mother about his adventures during this period.
"It turned out to be a dream." Tianyang shook his head to wake himself up, and then he heard heavy metal music that was not too loud, but still noisy.
Sun Sun was driving, and the little crazy girl put on her sunglasses again today, and was twisting her body to the beat of the music while driving.
Yue Guang was sitting on the passenger seat, with little Xitong lying on her legs. Yue Guang watched speechlessly as the little thing imitated Sun Sun and twisted around, but she was too small, and after twisting for a long time, she could only twist her little butt.
Moonlight slapped the little butt in annoyance and said, "You don't learn good things, but just learn some messed up things from Sun Sun."
Sun Sun took off his sun visor and pouted his lips: "Boss, why is it so messed up? This is also music and art."
"Xiao Xitong, am I right?"
The little thing raised its head and giggled.
Sun Sun couldn't help but rubbed her hair: "You think so too, right? Then grow up quickly. When you are older, I will teach you how to dance. Dancing is a very happy thing."
Yue Guang pulled Xiao Xitong aside and let her lie on his shoulder: "Don't teach her bad things."
Little Xitong giggled, stretched out her hands to hug Yueguang's neck, and called out in a baby voice: "Mama..."
Yue Guang immediately took her away and said seriously, "Don't scream."
"Mom..."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Listening to the various sounds coming from the cab, Tianyang shook his head and suddenly heard the communicator ringing. He took it out and saw that it was a message from Bidou.
"Mr. Death, the 'Magic Shadow Crystal Core' of Iron Blood Castle has arrived. You can come and take it away sometime."
"Very good!"
Tianyang immediately replied with a message, saying that he would go to the Hunger Dance that night, and then put away the communicator. Now he has the "brain of the psychedelic earth dragon" in his hand, plus the "magic shadow crystal core", and he will be able to go to the Deep Sea Castle to hunt the dark jellyfish soon.
As long as we get the jellyfish blood, there will only be one material left to advance to level 7!
