Xu Le looked at Chi Xiao, his eyes indeed somewhat embarrassed.
He also understood why Chi Xiao didn't help him before. It turned out that Duolei and Chi Xiao had already decided on a plan to climb the tower.
"Chi Xiao, this is a roundabout way to save the country, right? Shouldn't we thank her later? Give her a red envelope, treat her to a meal or something?"
Xu Le thought, Chi Xiao has really helped a lot, how should he repay him
In the next few days, Duolei would discuss the research content about the Golden Light Tree with Xu Le every day.
Xu Le was actually a little panicked. He didn't know much, so he could only rely on some conscious understanding and the advanced ideas of Gu Yinduo and Guangzhu to fool Duolei.
As for the specific data, Xu Le's excuse was that there was no suitable experimental equipment at the lighthouse and it was impossible to obtain specific data.
Although Duolei had some doubts, Xu Le's thinking was really advanced when he described the shape, prophecy, and results of the golden tree.
Compared to these ideological things, experimental data is not that important.
On the fifth day, Duolei, who stayed in the little red building, changed into a formal outfit, a white shirt and white skirt with a red full moon printed on the back.
The weather was already a little hot at this time, and Xu Le and the others were basically wearing shorts, which made Duolei look a little special today.
"Dore Warlock?"
"Mr. Xu Le, please get ready. The time has come."
There was no warning, not even any advance notice for Xu Le to prepare.
"Preparing for what?" Although he already had an expectation in his mind, Xu Le still pretended to be unclear.
"Of course, we're going to the tower." Duo Lei was very excited, and the pride between her brows could not be hidden.
Xu Le hesitated for a while, then said:
"I need to take my assistant with me."
"Assistant?" Duolei frowned slightly.
"Yes, I definitely can't do the research on the tower alone. I need to bring my assistant with me."
"You can only bring one person at most. Going to the tower is not a trip. Mr. Xu Le, you need to understand this."
Duolei said there was only one spot, which made Xu Le a little embarrassed. He looked at his companions and finally set his sights on Wang Man.
"Wang Man, come with us."
"As you wish." Wang Man nodded with a smile.
Xu Le chose Wang Man without considering the combat effectiveness at all. In addition to fulfilling his previous promise, the most important reason for bringing Wang Man along was that she had been exploring the tower in the form of an out-of-body experience recently.
Every time she explored a little, understood a little, she gained a deeper understanding of the entire tower environment.
Moreover, to achieve his ultimate goal, he might still need Wang Man's help.
Duolei glanced at Wang Man, then at Wang Shu, Ai Li and the others.
"I originally thought that Mr. Xu Le would bring a guard or something like that, but now it seems that Mr. Xu Le is really devoted to research."
“Of course, this is the most important cause in life.”
The group went out, and Xu Le got into the car that Duo Lei had gotten. The driver was Chi Xiao, which made Xu Le feel flattered.
"Um, Chi Xiao... is he driving?"
Xu Le knew Chi Xiao's strength. Although they had been treating each other as friends recently, he would still call him Lord Chi Xiao in private.
"Just sit still. Hey? Why did Mr. Xu Le bring a cat?"
Duolei saw Ding Ke in Xu Le's arms. Bringing an extra cat was not what they had agreed on in advance.
"This cat is my pet. It and I have never been separated. I will take it with me wherever I go. But Miss Duolei can rest assured that it is very well behaved and will not cause any trouble."
"I hope so."
Xu Le’s requests this time were a bit too much, but since it was already like this, she didn’t want to say anything more.
This investigation is of great importance, and Xu Le's research results are very important to her.
This incident will even affect the relationship between the Red Moon Temple and the Lighthouse for some time to come. It is indeed a challenging task to understand the ultimate nature of the golden tree without causing any rift.
The car was driving very fast. After Xu Le and the others left the small red building, Ai Li, Wang Shu and the other two exchanged glances.
"Get ready for action and proceed according to the original plan."
"good."
The two groups left the small red building separately, and after they left, pieces of news were delivered to the Lighthouse Council.
The person who handled this information was actually the congressman Zhou Bi, who had always been polite to Xu Le.
The person sitting opposite Zhou Bi was Xiong Zemo's former boss, Jin Mingzhu.
"Well, the people from the Red Moon Temple and Zion have gone to the tower. This world is as beautiful as you and I wish."
Zhou Bi raised his glass to Jin Mingzhu and the two clinked glasses.
"What do you think people uptown will think?"
"Them? They didn't even notice anything was wrong during this period. They were still immersed in the beautiful fantasy that they were nobles."
The once friendly Zhou Bi now looked a little gloomy. He sipped the wine glass in his hand and looked towards the tower.
"The Upper Town may not be as bad as you think, Zhou Bi, don't underestimate anyone." Jin Mingzhu reminded.
Both of them are downtown council members. In many cases, the concepts of downtown council members and uptown council members are different.
They handled the chores of the lower city, defense construction, and some civilian infrastructure.
Zhou Bi and Jin Mingzhu knew too much about the current situation of the lighthouse and the missing people. They knew what happened on the tower.
Especially Jin Mingzhu, as Xiong Zemo's boss and one of the guides of the Attraction of Life, she even knows what is on top of the tower.
But those things are not something they can handle.
Senators are the most important political figures in a city-state, but they are not the most powerful force in a city.
To break the shackles of these forces, more external forces are needed.
"I don't look down on anyone. I just think those old guys in the upper city are too naive. From the moment the Red Moon Temple sent a large number of spies into the lighthouse, we should have known that something had happened."
Zhou Bi drank the wine in one gulp, walked to the window, picked up the telescope he had prepared, and stared at the top of the tower.
Jin Mingzhu didn't say anything, but Zhou Bi still seemed dissatisfied and continued to ask:
"Jin Mingzhu, tell me... have things already fallen out between the Red Moon Temple and the High Tower?"
"Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. Don't speak against the law."
"I know, I know that speculation about the light will be retaliated by the light. You have talked about this many times. I am usually very careful when I complain about it, and at most I get a warning.
But I recently discovered that… it seems that my complaints are no longer being taken seriously, which is very interesting.”
Hearing what Zhou Bi said, Jin Mingzhu's vagina contracted slightly.
"You tested the light? You are really brave."
"If you are not brave enough, how could you have reached your current position as a resident of the Lower City? Isn't it the same for you? After coming into contact with the Golden Light Tree, you should have gained a lot of information.
I know that Xiong Zemo was the one you brought out from the Light Tree."
Jin Mingzhu's appearance at this moment was completely different from her usual fiery and unrestrained appearance; she seemed very indifferent.
"It's no good to know too much. Don't forget what our purpose is."
"Of course, everything is for the rebirth of the lighthouse."
"For the lighthouse."
"Yes, for the lighthouse."
…
When they arrived at the bottom of the tower again, there was someone to greet them again, but the one who greeted Xu Le and his friends was an old lady with gray hair.
Xu Le was a little surprised when he saw this old lady. He seemed to have seen this person somewhere before...
Xu Le immediately entered a state of emptiness and recalled the existence of the old woman from his memory.
"Death knell, Wang Beichuan, listen to my teachings!"
Xu Le remembered that he was with Gu Beichen and Wang Shu at that time. They were night watchmen at that time. In order to unlock the seal of a relic, they found Wang Beichuan's home and Wang Beichuan's son.
It was this old lady who was in the yard at that time.
And the so-called teachings were a set of theories of light and darkness that the old lady specifically told Xu Le.
That's what she said at the time.
Darkness and light embrace each other, and you should embrace them both.
You must remember everything, remember the skills you learned, remember the people who taught you, remember all the nightmares and darkness.
Then, chop them up.
At that time, Xu Le could not understand what the old woman meant by these words.
What does light and darkness have to do with a forbidden warlock like him? At that time, he had neither come into contact with light nor been close to darkness.
But now that things have come to this, think about your current situation and the conditions for promotion.
Xu Le suddenly felt his scalp tingling.
Isn't he now caught in the quagmire of light and darkness
What the old woman said before felt like a criticism of his current situation. Was this something that could be successfully predicted
The legendary prophecy? What level
"We finally meet, Master Yulong. I have long heard of your great name in the Red Moon Temple."
As soon as Duolei met, she greeted the old man in front of her. Xu Le finally knew the old lady's name, Yu Long.
Seeing Duo Lei, Yu Long just nodded contemptuously, then turned to look at Chi Xiao and said slightly cruelly:
"It's a pity that I didn't kill you back then. It's also the fault of those night watchmen who were useless and let a little girl like this get away."
Yu Long's words startled Xu Le. Kill Chi Xiao? And her family
The person who once attacked the Chixiao family was actually Yu Long
"Oh, Lord Yu Long, please don't say that. We are all members of the Red Moon Temple now. For the Red Moon Temple, we should put aside our past grudges and work together sincerely."
Chi Xiao bowed slightly and narrowed his eyes. There was no aggressive aura about him, but rather a peaceful look.
Looking at the two of them, Xu Le muttered to himself:
"Are you showing weakness at this time because you can't win?"
Xu Le looked at Yu Long:
“No, Yu Long is not as strong as Chi Xiao. At least, Yu Long is not as strong as Chi Xiao right now. Chi Xiao’s display of weakness is a bit deliberate.
And this Yu Long’s abilities are very special, prophecy, red moon warlock
Chi Xiao had said before that some people in the lighthouse could sense a person's thoughts, words, and even speculations about gods. That was also the ability of the Red Moon Warlock.
The ability of Yu Long in front of me is vaguely similar to Chi Xiao's description of the powerful Red Moon Warlock. "
Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat conflicting, Duolei said with a smile:
"Yes, yes, Lord Yulong, please don't mention the past. Now that Chi Xiao has joined Xiao, we should put aside our past grudges and work together sincerely."
Yu Long shook her head slightly and glanced at Duo Lei:
"Duolei, you have grown too fast. You don't understand many things. This world is never so simple..."
"What is Lady Yulong talking about?" Duolei was a little confused.
"You are too weak to understand."
Yu Long's criticism made Duo Lei feel a little embarrassed, especially in front of Xu Le, an outsider.
However, Yu Long did not continue speaking. When Xu Le was analyzing the elders, Yu Long did not continue speaking, but turned her gaze to Xu Le.
There was a hint of surprise and approval in her eyes.
When Xu Le saw Yu Long looking at him, he knew that it was impossible for him to stay out of it now.
Although the other party didn't say anything, he didn't dare to be arrogant or anything, especially he nodded politely immediately:
"Master Yulong, it's been a long time since we last met. Xu Le still remembers your teachings to me last time."
Do Xu Le and Yu Long know each other
At this point, Duolei and Chixiao were both a little surprised. According to Xu Le's experience and identity, shouldn't he have the opportunity to come into contact with Yu Long
Even if he becomes a member of parliament and has sufficient qualifications, he can only become a member of parliament after Zion.
Yu Long should have never left the lighthouse.
Yu Long smiled. When she looked at Xu Le, her eyes were much kinder, at least kinder than when she looked at Chi Xiao, and there was no murderous intent in them as before.
"You are now less entangled. It seems that you are no longer dependent on the power of fate, young man."
Xu Le felt a chill in his heart. Yu Long could indeed see the thread of fate and knew the entanglement of the thread. Was she really the Red Moon Warlock
"I'm not getting rid of silk, I just think there should be a more correct way to use silk."
"Oh, no one can escape the bondage of fate. It's just a waste of effort."
"I still remember what Lord Yu Long told me about the struggle between darkness and light. Isn't killing them also a struggle against fate?"
"That's just a casual saying, don't take it seriously."
Facing such a big boss, Xu Le just had to pretend to be dead.
He lowered his head and secretly glanced at Chi Xiao, and suddenly felt something flowing under Chi Xiao's black eye mask.
Xu Le remembered that there was a vortex of ancient sound under Chi Xiao’s eye mask. What was she going to do
“Okay, Master Yulong, we can chat about personal grudges and such later.
Today's goal is to go up to the tower. We need to know the situation of the Golden Light Tree. Please take us up."
"knew."
Yu Long turned around calmly, but from Xu Le's angle, he still saw her drawing the cards.
But this action seemed to be intentional for Xu Le to see.
Black Card-Black Sheep Girl
"Disaster, death..."
