Qianye waved to Lu Yalan and said, "Let's go."
Lu Yalan stood up in a daze, followed Qianye out, and sat in the driver's seat.
"Go to Youcheng."
Lu Yalan trembled slightly, turned her head to look at Qianye, her eyes were full of anxiety, "Still going to Youcheng?"
"Go do something. Why, there are people from Guisuo in Youcheng?"
"Only some informants on the periphery. You have killed all the main people of Guisuo in this area, but they will soon find out that something happened here, and they will send elders over." Lu Yalan's voice trembled , obviously the elders of Guisuo are not easy to deal with.
Qianye has already learned about the distribution of Guisuo's forces in the West Continent, and said calmly, "They won't be able to catch up within a day or two. We still have enough time. When I leave Youcheng, you will be free."
Hearing these words, Lu Yalan shivered involuntarily.
Qianye immediately understood, smiled and said, "Don't worry, you've done a good job along the way, so I won't kill you. I believe that with your intelligence, you won't do such a stupid thing as returning to Guisuo."
Lu Yalan nodded, and silently started the vehicle engine.
After arriving in Youcheng, Qianye went to a small hotel to pick up his luggage, and took Lu Yalan to a hotel in the central city with the signboard of the Zhao Clan. He himself didn't stay for a moment, even though it was already dusk, he still rushed to the Youcheng Auction House.
Zhao Runshui came from a branch of the Zhao family, and his blood relationship was so thin that he could barely be said to be from the Zhao family. But even so, he also got the fat job of Youcheng Auction House, and his surname Zhao contributed a lot to this.
Youcheng Auction House was already closed, but Zhao Runshui was still taking stock of the day's income and did not leave.
When the guard handed over the token presented by Qianye, he immediately greeted Qianye in person in a cordial manner, and sent someone to call back the appraisers and traders who had left, and appraised the firearms Qianye brought one by one.
Seeing Zhao Runshui's courteous appearance, Qianye suddenly realized that Song Zining originally said that the recipient was a general of the Zhao Clan. Although it was just a cover, it might not be completely unfounded. Perhaps Song Zining did have similar contacts in the Zhao Clan. It's just that this incident originated from the internal heir dispute of the Song Clan. Not to mention a mere general, I am afraid that the core members of the Zhao Clan will not intervene in the open.
Qianye sighed in his heart. It can be said that this trip to the west was full of fighting and killing, and as long as he thought about the various inside stories hidden behind Bloody, he felt extremely complicated.
Zhao Runshui had already estimated the total price and handed over a thick catalog of resources. Qianye flipped through it casually, asking to exchange some of the rare resources that are easy to carry, and also hoping to get some weapons specifically for the dark race.
Zhao Runshui didn't ask any extra questions, and took out five magic-breaking mithril bullets, plus a special jade box.
The original force bomb in the box gave Qianye a pleasant surprise, he did not expect to see the Alchemy Silver Bullet in the auction house. This is a physical bomb with a power equivalent to that of the black titanium annihilation bomb, of course it is for the dark race.
In comparison, even the "bullet" handmade by that "master" is inferior. If Zalun had been pierced through the chest by the Alchemy Silver Lieyang bullet that day, he would have been directly burned to a scorched corpse, with no chance of healing and recovery.
After completing the transaction, Qianye hurried back to the hotel and saw Lu Yalan curled up on the sofa in an uncomfortable position and fell asleep. Too many things happened in one day and one night, and she was exhausted physically and mentally.
Qianye woke her up and said, "We should go."
Lu Yalan opened her eyes somewhat confusedly: "Go? Where are you going?"
After saying a word, she woke up suddenly, shrank into a ball, stared at Qianye, her face turned pale. She was not such a timid person at first, but after shrinking from the life-and-death line for the first time, it became more and more difficult to persevere later.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. But I'm leaving, now you can go wherever you want."
Lu Yalan's eyes flickered, and she suddenly said, "Can you arrange for me?"
Qianye was startled, "What kind of arrangement?"
Lu Yalan sat up straight, her eyes showed a trace of expectation besides fear, "I have received complete assassination training, but I don't have much experience in missions. My specialty is gambling, management and intelligence."
Qianye had already packed his luggage. He picked up his backpack and threw it over his shoulder. After pondering for a while, he said, "I'm going to do another mission now, so I can't take you with me."
Lu Yalan's eyes dimmed.
Qianye thought for a while and said, "If you want to go to the Eternal Night Continent, you can find a place in the Dark Fire Mercenary Group in Heiliu City, Sanhe County."
As he said that, Qianye threw a purse to her, and said, "Guinsuo doesn't dare to make too much noise on the Zhao Clan's territory, so the public waterway may be safer."
Lu Yalan hesitated, and finally nodded.
In the darkening night, Qianye was driving an off-road vehicle on the Shuoyang Highway. At first, he could occasionally see pedestrians heading towards the city, but after a while, the surroundings became deserted.
The night sky is full of stars, and the huge full moon occupies half of the sky, and the huge undulating mountains above can be seen clearly.
Youcheng gradually disappeared at the other end of the horizon, Qianye looked around, no matter which direction there was only the vast night, the sky and the wilderness merged into one in the distance.
He had a feeling, as if he was the only one left in the entire continent, while the sky was hung with a completely unfamiliar star map. In this world, the sky above each continent is different, and the stars and moons seen by people on different continents are not the same.
At this moment, many faces appeared in Qianye's mind, and he suddenly missed those people he knew, knew, or even met a few times. Countless images flickered in front of my eyes, the tea that Song Zining handed over, Wei Potian's fist fight that he would lose in every battle, Yetong's figure turning around the airship cemetery, Zhao Ruoxi's smile turning his head by the stream, and even William being reflected by the bonfire Salivating barbecue expression.
So Qianye knew that he was lonely again. It seems that the older I get, the more I fear loneliness. However, he also knew that this feeling was different from when he fled to Dark Blood City back then. Now every thought he has is a concern, and every ounce of loneliness is looking forward to reunion.
In the distance, after crossing two provinces, you can see the Falling Star Mountains stretching for thousands of miles, where another legacy of the Black Wing King, the Eye of True Sight, is hidden.
After Qianye closed the twin flowers twice, he had already vaguely guessed that the pair of wings suddenly protruding from the dark gold's blood energy were probably the primordial wings. Even if it wasn't for the power to combine with the Pupil of True Sight, he couldn't sit back and watch such an important thing fall into the hands of the dark race.
At sunrise and sunset, the off-road vehicle went all the way in the wilderness. Ahead is a vast and distant mountain, and it is also a boundless destiny.
Yanxi Province is one of the four provinces of the Zhao Clan, and it is also a territory completely developed by the Zhao Clan.
The ancestors of the Zhao Clan, as the founders of the country, were granted no more than one county in the first place. Later, several patriarchs were talented and generous, and exchanged one county for half of the western provinces. At that time, the power of the empire had just extended to the west land, and this place was completely scorched earth, which was incomparable with the rich land in the hinterland of the empire.
However, the powerful Zhao Clan came out in large numbers, and based on this, they seized one piece of land after another from the hands of the dark race, and finally became today's high-ranking lord across four provinces.
In fact, not only the Zhao Clan, but which one of the other three Clans has the merits of opening up territories. Even the Song Clan, who is famous for its trade routes, does not seem to have obvious martial arts today, but its core fiefdoms were also developed, so they can be hereditary.
No inheritance is obtained out of thin air, and every inch of territory and blood is buried with the heroic souls of generations of children.
The off-road vehicle drove to half of Yanxi Province, and there was no road ahead. Yanxi Province is very strange, half of it is very prosperous, and the other half is extremely desolate, with traces of raging war everywhere. The dividing line between prosperity and desolation is the boundary where the dark races always attack.
When the road ahead could no longer be seen, Qianye knew he had left the safe zone. He found a small border town according to the map, sold the off-road vehicle, and bought a pony known for its endurance. The next journey is an endless desert, and it is impossible to go deep without a special sand machine. Horses are the easiest and most cost-effective means of transportation.
Qianye found a lonely stone tablet standing in front of him in the afternoon of the second day, and when he got closer, he saw a few big characters: The Boundary of the Great Qin Dynasty.
After passing this boundary marker, it officially left the territory of the empire.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew up, kicking up a large piece of yellow sand, and the sun in the sky seemed a little distorted, but the wind and sand did not prevent it from casting endless light and heat on this desolate area.
The horse under Qianye's crotch was already a little sluggish, and the water bladder was half empty. If you can't get out of this desert before the water is finished, it will be dangerous. In such a vast uninhabited area, the power of the strong is also limited.
However, such a harsh natural environment is also exceptionally peaceful. Another day and night, Qianye could already see mountains from a distance, and the wind blowing in front of him was no longer so hot.
Entering the Falling Star Mountains is the Kingdom of Darkness. This land is extremely barren, and there are many ferocious beasts in the mountains. There are not many dark races who originally settled here. But Qianye saw many dark race troops from Anduya's consciousness, obviously this area will not be peaceful at this time.
After Qianye walked out of the desert, he let the horse go and entered the vast mountains alone. He was very cautious in his actions and never ventured in. After finding a hidden hiding place, he began to rest on the spot no matter it was still bright, preparing to restore his physical strength to the best before going deep into the mountains.
However, as soon as Qianye leaned against the mountain wall, he fell into a deep sleep.
In a deep dream, he seemed to hear a voice calling to him, and it was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it.
The voice kept repeating the same frequency, and after an unknown period of time, it gradually became clear, "Come close to me, bring my head, and I will make you the king of the world!"
Qianye woke up suddenly!
The voice in the dream was so clear, even though Qianye woke up, it still played back in his ears over and over again. He finally remembered where he had heard it, not long after he got the crystal fragment from Baron Darul.
With the experience of being in contact with the will of the Black Winged King, Qianye realized that this voice was probably not an illusion, but a call from a real existence. It's just that he is still not sure whether this call is only for himself, or if other people can also hear it.
But why is it related to the crystal fragments left by Anduya to the servants? Is that also the remaining consciousness of the Black Winged Monarch
Qianye took a deep breath, feeling a little uneasy, maybe he will encounter more than just the pupil of true sight during this trip.
The next day, Qianye finally discovered the traces of the dark race. In a valley, stands a blood clan castle.
