Intentional
Xu Le had originally had such an idea, but he had always felt that it was unreasonable and irrational for a son of Gu Yinduo, who was a very powerful and intact person, to deliberately do such a thing.
But now that Ye Sha had spoken it out loud, Xu Le realized that sometimes the thoughts and plans of top creatures might not be as simple as he had imagined.
He couldn't understand the other party's arrangement simply because both parties were not standing at the same height or at the same angle.
The vision of the sons of Gu Yinduo was too high and the situation was too big, so their arrangements were not something Xu Le himself could understand.
Just like Night Fury... She has always been a great help to Xu Le.
But Xu Le always felt that he was of no use to Night Fury.
But when he was really asked, Ye Sha said that he was doing very well and just needed to keep doing so.
Xu Le felt that everything he did was his original idea, and he didn't seem to be influenced by anyone else. So why was he considered to be doing very well in the eyes of Ye Fu
This is probably due to the limited field of view.
"It looks something like this... Is that really a dragon?"
Xu Le briefly described the dragon's appearance, but Ye Fu just shook his head slightly:
"Is it because it didn't turn out the way you imagined? It seems like you were looking forward to it."
"Well, I can't say I'm looking forward to it. It just feels a little different from what I imagined."
"When it reaches the same level as us, it can change its physical state at will. That form is just a fighting state it prefers."
"Then, is there a real body?"
Xu Le didn't make his words clear, in fact, there was a double entendre. In addition to wanting to understand dragons, he also wanted to understand Night Furies.
"The main body, yes."
Ye Sha did not continue to speak, and Xu Le did not continue to ask. He changed the subject and said:
"Master Night Fury, I don't know what the dragon's purpose is. It left this ring behind. If it deliberately arranged for me to wear it, what should I do now? The ring can no longer be taken off."
When a younger brother encounters a problem, he will definitely ask for help from his elder brother. At this time, Xu Le expressed his confusion and did not feel embarrassed at all.
"Give me your hand."
"Uh, oh."
Xu Le was very obedient and stretched out his hand obediently.
Then Ye Sha put his hand on Xu Le's fingers. Her hands were small, white and tender, like those of an ordinary little girl.
It is hard to imagine that the other party could so openly say something like "When the dragon is in the sky, I can do nothing about it."
Does that mean she has a way to deal with the dragon if it's on the ground
When Xu Le imagined the size of the dragon, he felt it was outrageous.
Sure enough, every son of Gu Yinduo cannot be understood using conventional thinking.
What about the puppet? What does the puppet's full experience look like
What about Lightforge? Well, Lightforge has been dismantled.
As Xu Le stretched out his fingers, waves of energy came from the Night Fury's fingertips.
The dark aura spread over his fingers, like black ink, and began to spread on Xu Le's fingertips.
Gradually spread to the ring on the index finger.
The originally blue threaded ring was gradually coated with a layer of something like a black and gold gradient, and it felt like it was burned by fire
However, there is nothing special about Xu Le himself.
"What did Lord Ye Fury do to this ring?" Xu Le was a little curious.
He took a look at the ring using the Ancient Sound Multi-Vision. At least there was no new secret code, only the appearance had changed a little.
"Nothing much, I just kept some of my abilities to suppress the dragon's aura."
"Um... Then can I use this ring from now on?"
"It can be used, but time is still a bit tight."
"Time is of the essence? What do you mean?"
“The aura I injected can only suppress the ring for a period of time, and this ring is the dragon’s reverse scale. I have told you before that the Son of Gu Yinduo is immortal.
So this ring and the dragon are in a state of connection, and the dragon's power will be continuously injected into it, gradually wearing away the power I left behind."
Xu Le blinked. He really wanted to ask if he could come once in a while and let his brother charge the battery for him so that he could use it continuously.
However, judging from Ye Fu's expression, he obviously had no intention of doing so, so Xu Le didn't bother to mention it.
"What will happen when the time is up?"
“This ring is now connected to your finger. If my power disappears, the dragon’s power will invade your body.
Although it is not known what the purpose of this is, it is obvious that there is a purpose.”
When Xu Le heard this, he suddenly remembered the natural alertness he felt when he wanted to touch the ring with the Ancient Sound Multi-Function Branch.
That may be a warning about Gu Yinduo's fate, or it may be a warning from the mother tree itself.
The power of the ring, or the power of the dragon, must not be allowed to touch the ancient Yinduo tree.
Its purpose may be to occupy the Soul Tree in the spiritual world through itself.
"I seem to know what it wants, but even if I know, I can't seem to stop it. Lord Ye Fury, please save me..."
Ye Sha shook his head slightly, wondering if it was because Xu Le wanted to help with everything, which made him seem particularly useless.
“Actually, there are two ways.”
"Master Night Fury, teach me!"
"The first solution is to just cut off your fingers. If the invasion is too severe, just cut off the whole palm or the whole arm, and there should be no problem."
Xu Le: …
Although he admired Chi Xiao's strong will despite his disability, Xu Le was still very resistant to the idea of making himself disabled.
"What about the second method?"
"Find something that can offset the dragon's power."
"Hedge? What kind of power can hedge?"
"The power of the son of Gu Yinduo."
Xu Le frowned slightly and looked at Ye Fu in confusion. According to what Ye Fu said, he should be able to erase the dragon's power now, right
Why should he find it himself
"Can't Lord Night Fury do that?"
"No, because I need to maintain the completeness of my own power and consume the dragon's essence, which requires another kind of ancient sound multi-origin power. I cannot waste this power, even if it is only a little bit."
Xu Le nodded. Ye Sha had already clearly stated the reason, so he naturally would not force it.
Xu Le knew very well that Night Fury always had his own responsibilities.
Keep the flame from going out!
Although he didn't know what would want to extinguish the flame, but when Ye Fury mentioned that his strength must remain intact, Xu Le already roughly understood the situation.
The dragon actually stored some of its original power in the ring, which was enough to show that it was determined to obtain it.
So the question is, where can we find the other part of the origin of the Son of Ancient Yinduo
After much thought, Xu Le felt that the most reasonable target was probably Lightforge.
This matter is really difficult for them at the moment.
Finding the head of Lightcast was originally just an idea of Xu Le's, and he didn't mean to execute it.
But now, I seem to have more reasons to achieve this goal.
"A light-forged head, okay?"
"It seems you already know where it is." Night Fury nodded.
"But what if I don't finish it?"
"If you don't succeed, just come back here as soon as possible and cut off your arm. It should be fine."
Hearing this, Xu Le finally nodded.
This matter is indeed somewhat difficult, but it is not without chance.
And the fact that he brought Wang Man with him suddenly became more meaningful.
"I don't know if Guangzhu really wants to meet the person whose mark he likes."
Xu Le rubbed his chin and prepared to say goodbye to Ye Fury.
It is really a happy thing to have a reliable elder brother. Many things can be solved with a elder brother, which is much better than doing things by yourself.
"In that case, I'll go back first."
Xu Le was about to go back when Ye Sha suddenly turned his head and stared at him, which made Xu Le's scalp tingle:
"Why are you looking at me like that, Master Night Fury? Is there something I didn't do right?"
"Didn't you prepare a new story this time?"
Xu Le: …
Looking at Ye Sha's expectant expression, Xu Le didn't know for a moment whether the other party called him over because he wanted to hear a story or because he was really reminding him.
"Um, what kind of story would you like to hear, Master Night Fury?"
"Well, actually it's all right. Your story is different from what those people said about heroes fighting monsters."
Xu Le suddenly narrowed his eyes.
Those people? Different? Brave men fighting weird
Glancing around and into the distance, there seemed to be nothing but endless night demons in the dark land.
Has anyone else come here and been asked by the Night Fury to tell a story
Although he had doubts in his heart, Xu Le still kept his composure and a smile on his face:
"Then let me tell you a story about hard work today. It's called "The Pursuit of Happiness"..."
Ye Sha buried his chin in his arms and listened carefully to Xu Le's story.
When the story ended, she smiled thoughtfully and with satisfaction, then let Xu Le go.
…
Back in the real world, Xu Le breathed a long sigh of relief.
He thought that his relationship with his elder brother was a bit too presumptuous, and he should respect his elder brother more often.
After all, the eldest brother is the son of Gu Yinduo, and he may be the strongest one.
Thinking about how cowardly he was in front of the other sons of Gu Yinduo, Xu Le felt that he was somewhat disrespectful to Ye Fu when he was in the Dark Land.
"Ahem, luckily I read enough books and watched enough movies before..."
After returning to the first-class cabin of the airship, the next few days were much calmer.
Without external attacks and Wang Man's disturbance, the entire voyage seemed very peaceful.
Wang Man woke up just before the airship arrived at the lighthouse.
As soon as she woke up, she saw Ai Li beside her.
Ai Li came to take care of Wang Man at Xu Le's instruction. Now that there are certain needs, Wang Man's importance has been raised to a higher level unknowingly.
But it doesn’t matter, it’s even good.
Where there is demand, there is value.
"Are you awake?"
"Well, has Lord Ai Li been here all the time?" Wang Man sat up with the help of the bed and drank some water at the bedside.
She had just overused her energy and was exhausted, so there was nothing serious wrong with her body.
While she was unconscious, Ai Li examined Wang Man's body as requested by Xu Le.
What is more surprising is that Wang Man's physical fitness has been strengthened, and now her physical condition is roughly between that of a level 0-1 warrior.
This rate of increase shocked Xu Le a little.
Because a warrior's training cannot be accomplished solely by talent.
The upper limit of a warrior is currently only 4 levels, and each level requires years of accumulation and practice.
Although Wang Man had good physical fitness before, it was definitely not up to the level of an entry-level warrior. She progressed too quickly.
If it is some kind of light-forged cultivation system, perhaps this is also something worth exploring in depth.
"Xu Le asked me to come and take care of you. The others are all men, so it's not convenient."
Ai Li was telling the truth, Wang Man nodded, and the two fell into silence again for a while.
When in front of Ai Li, Wang Man always felt that her thoughts would be seen through.
In the past, she felt that she was incomparable to Aerie. She thought that this situation would change a little after she became a messenger of the Lightforge.
But now it seems that there has been no substantial change.
There is still an insurmountable gap between her and Rewi Alley.
"I… "
"You're awake, Wang Man. Are you feeling better?"
Xu Le suddenly appeared and interrupted Wang Man. Wang Man nodded as she looked at Xu Le. Then, as if she remembered something, she began to apologize to Xu Le:
"I'm sorry, Brother Xu Le, I was wrong about that ring..."
"It's okay. If you can't take it off, then don't take it off. How can I blame you for this?"
Wang Man looked a little confused. This was not what she wanted to express, but looking at Xu Le's expression, it seemed that he was not controlled by the power of the ring.
Did anyone solve it for him
"Brother Xu Le has so many secrets."
"You have your own secret now, don't you?" Xu Le said with a smile.
Wang Man nodded again.
"Yes, everyone has their own secrets."
"We will soon reach the lighthouse, and then we can chase the Illuminati and see what a place that believes in the Holy Light is like."
"It's light, not holy light."
"Haha, sorry, sorry, there is a saying that has always been popular in my hometown, and I am used to saying it."
"Your hometown?" Wang Man was a little confused. Isn't their hometown Zion
"What?"
"May the Holy Light deceive you."
May the Holy Light protect you? It looks like a prayer of blessing.
"This sentence can be changed to May the light protect you, but I heard that the Red Moon Temple already has a similar prayer."
"Yes, you are right."
…
The airship docked at the lighthouse's landing platform.
As soon as he got off the airship, Xu Le was greeted with warm cheers.
Some people even held up flowers and shouted "Councilman Xu Le" and held up signs with the name of Councilman Xu Le in their hands.
However, seeing the fake smiles on these people's faces and their poor acting skills, Xu Le knew that these people were probably the kind of actors who were paid 5 yuan a day.
According to the income level of Dengta, whether it is 5 yuan a day or not is still a question...
For Zion, this approach is of course ridiculous.
But in Lighthouse, hiring actors to do things is nothing new.
To highlight the warmth, welcome, and overall lighthouse atmosphere, this is all too common for the Lighthouse Council.
"It's better to look for professional actors." Xu Le complained silently.
The sound was not small, and Ai Li Wangshu and others nearby heard it.
"I'm finally back, finally back to this place. I even miss our branch and our Guangming Bathhouse a little bit." Gu Beichen looked intoxicated, breathing in the air here.
Because the airship's energy source had been changed, he couldn't smell any other smells.
Hearing Gu Beichen's sigh, Wang Shu on the side suddenly said:
"Have you been to Guangming Bathhouse?"
"No, but I have to go this time."
The corners of Xu Le's mouth twitched. He didn't know since when, but Gu Beichen seemed to be letting himself go.
By this time, lighthouse officials had arrived in layers.
The one who came to greet Xu Le was Councillor Zhou Bi, a councillor from the Lighthouse Lower Town.
The council system of Lighthouse is divided into the Upper and Lower Towns. The Upper Town has one more councillor than the Lower Town, so when it comes to important decisions, the Lower Town will never be able to compete with the Upper Town.
Sometimes, it is even said that the council members elected from the Lower Town District are actually supported by the Upper Town District itself.
Therefore, the Upper Town has absolute control over the lighthouse.
"Hello, Councillor Xu Le."
"Hello, Councillor Zhou Bi."
The two shook hands and nodded to each other, then after a polite hug, Zhou Bi patted Xu Le on the shoulder.
"Member Xu Le is so young, but he has achieved such great things. It's really amazing. You Zion is really full of talented people now."
“Mr. Zhou Bi, you are too kind. I am just an ordinary researcher. I became a member of parliament only because of the love and support of the people of Zion.
All I can do is produce better scientific research results and give back to them.”
Although Xu Le's words were official rhetoric, what he did was substantial. It can even be said that all the boasts he made can be achieved one by one in a very short time in the future.
Especially in terms of energy supply, it is an epic improvement and convenience.
So for the people of Zion, Xu Le's becoming a member of parliament was a matter of course.
Zhou Bi looked at Xu Le deeply. As a member of the Lighthouse Parliament, he was well aware of the gap between the parliamentary systems of Lighthouse and Zion.
The Lighthouse was built much earlier than Zion, but its degree of decay is also much more serious than Zion.
"Mr. Xu Le's idea is really admirable."
This is a sincere word. As a downtown councilman, he has seen too much darkness. There are too many places and things that he is powerless to do.
When he first became a member of parliament, Zhou Bi was ambitious and wanted to make a big splash.
But in the end, the outcome is often not what you want.
"Serving the people is my responsibility. Isn't that what Councillor Zhou Bi thinks?" Xu Le asked with a little curiosity.
Zhou Bi's expression remained unchanged. Even though he hadn't become a seasoned veteran yet, he was almost as good as one.
Of course, I won’t change my color just because of a few words.
“Of course, it is our duty to serve the people, but some things have been going on for too long, so long that we cannot touch them.
To put it simply, the city conditions of Lighthouse and Zion are different, and there are some things that cannot be helped. "
“The situation in the city is different… Actually, if he wants to, Councillor Zhou Bi can still make an effort.
If the outcome is not what you want, fight hard before the dust settles."
The simple conversation touched Zhou Bi a little. Perhaps only in young people like Xu Le could one see such drive.
He smiled:
"Before the dust settles... Councillor Xu Le is really motivated. That's the good thing about young people."
"Haha, Councillor Zhou Bi is not very old, about 35?"
"45."
"You're really well maintained then."
"Councilman Xu Le is really good at talking."
The two walked towards the reception area while talking.
In addition to Ai Li, Wang Shu, and Gu Beichen's personal guards, Xu Le and his delegation also had a five-member political affairs group.
The task of the political affairs group is to handle the handover after Xu Le's arrival, city-state exchanges, and trade interviews.
Xu Le didn't understand these things, so Li Wen prepared these five people in advance to help Xu Le.
While Xu Le and Zhou Bi were talking, the five people had already begun negotiating with the political, military, and economic and trade personnel of Dengta.
Regarding the long-term trade, resources, and military cooperation between Zion and Lighthouse, a long process of sorting out and negotiation is required.
Such talks are held every three years.
Last time, Zion made great concessions to Lighthouse in terms of arms sales because it did not have the Guyin multi-technology core.
But this time it was different, this time Zion had soap.
Like a dragon crossing the river.
The five negotiators were also very aggressive at this time and were ready to use their advantages.
On the other side, Zhou Bi had already brought Xu Le to the hotel:
"Mr. Xu Le, I have prepared the dinner. It is getting late now. How about you follow me to the hotel where I will host you?"
"That's great. We're a little hungry after all the flying. Can my followers come with us?"
Xu Le pointed at Ai Li, Wang Shu, Gu Beichen, and even Wang Man behind him.
Although this was not the first time Xu Le came to the lighthouse, being in the upper town was no different from the first time.
The place he often went to in the upper city was actually a place at Lighthouse University of Technology.
Xu Le had no idea about the real Lighthouse Upper Town.
Zhou Bi glanced at the people behind Xu Le, thought for a moment, and nodded:
"With only a few followers, it's certainly possible."
"Thanks."
Afterwards, Xu Le followed Zhou Bi to the reception hotel.
…
After they left, a group of people in black came to the first-class cabin of the airship.
These people are all from the Lighthouse, and the most conspicuous one is the leader.
A sturdy, tall man who looks extremely strong.
The person, or rather the puppet, who was once defeated by Xu Le and his friends.
Xiong Zemo.
"Sir, there are still some traces here. Do you need to collect information?"
"implement."
Several people came to the lounge where Wang Man had stayed before, and Xiong Zemo's gaze stopped on the stockings and shoes left under the bed.
He picked up the stockings, buried his face in them, and the air rushed into his nasal cavity.
"The girl's fresh and sour scent can grab people's throats tightly, and the wet forefoot area is like a dark swamp in the wild, absorbing the sweat of the girl's arches and toes.
The sour taste of lemon exuded by the action of microorganisms is really something that makes people yearn for and fantasize about it.
What a vivid body! If it could be made into a doll, it would definitely be a perfect work.”
Under a high platform somewhere, Xiong Zemo looked at Luo Juya standing beside him and murmured.
