"Alright." Zhao Xingqin nodded. He glanced at Garen with a complicated expression. "Come with me. Julie, treat your two guests well."
"OK."
Zhao Xingqin stood up and walked towards the side wall of the stone room, a stone door automatically rose on the wall.
Garen followed closely, and the two walked in one after the other.
The stone door slammed shut behind him, and Garen had entered another small study.
Several gray and white stone bookshelves are scattered in the corner, a long black coffee table, a few black leather single sofas, and bright yellow electric lights on the wall. That's all there is to it.
"Zenfran is going to the East. He knows you are looking for him, maybe he wants to avoid you, maybe for other purposes, he is already preparing a ship. It is not a coincidence to avoid you today."
As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Xingqin said a word directly.
"What's your relationship with the old man and him?" Garen raised the question again.
"My mother is the older sister of Xianfran and Geguo. The three of them were originally best brothers and sisters, but my mother died because of an accident to save Geguo." Zhao Xingqin turned on the lamp on the coffee table When it was lit, the soft kerosene lamp immediately illuminated the faces of the two people slightly yellow.
"Xianfran thought it was because of Geguo, so the three people who had a good relationship fell apart. Geguo was extremely handsome and powerful at the time, and his status in the circle of thought power at that time was the same as that of Asgard now. Xianfran fought If you lose, you can only flee far away." Zhao Xingqin sighed. "Xianfran seems to have a bad feeling for my mother, so since that time, for decades, he has been pursuing strength and challenging Ge Guo time and time again. In the end, he killed Ge Guo."
Garen heard that there should be other secrets in it, but the main thing should be true.
"Xianfran once had a chance to kill me, but unfortunately he let go. Why?"
"There are only two goals in his life, one is to defeat his brother Ge Guo and take revenge, and the second is to revive my mother." Zhao Xingqin said in a low voice. "His feelings for Ge Guo are very complicated. At the beginning, everything about him was taught and guided by Ge Guo. It is equivalent to being both his brother and his teacher. You are the successor of Ge Guo. If he doesn't kill you, I will I don't know why. Maybe it's because of Gego."
Zhao Xingqin shook his head.
"Actually, Zanfran went crazy many years ago."
"I can tell." Garen nodded, "His current mental state is very abnormal."
"Then what is your purpose?" Zhao Xingqin stared at Garen, "Find Xen Fran and avenge Ge Guo?"
Garen sat down, wiped his face with his hands, bent down and didn't know how to answer for a while.
After a long silence, he spoke again.
"Xianfran killed Ge Guo and almost killed me. I will find him and kill him. This is the goal I have set."
"Don't you want to know if Xenfran and the others have found the way to the Warlock?"
"You know?" Garen smiled, "I don't know what you mean by mind power. So even if they find it, it's the path of a master of mind power masters, and it has nothing to do with me."
"You can achieve this kind of achievement at this age. The three of you are not to say that you are the most talented people, at least you will definitely not be mortals. I believe in my judgment and vision. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to have such talents " Zhao Xingqin said affirmatively, "How about it? Let's test it?"
Garen hesitated for a moment.
"Okay, how to test?"
"It's very simple." Zhao Xingqin walked to a bookshelf, removed some books from above, then opened a hidden compartment from the wall behind the bookshelf, and took out a heavy tome from inside.
The book is wrapped in a black hard shell, and there are several distorted characters on the cover that I don't recognize.
"This book" Garen seemed to have seen this book somewhere.
"It's the book of potential that I got from Geguo. It used to be Geguo's reading device and the carrier of his spirit. Now that he is dead, this book was also mailed to me shortly before he died." Zhao Xingqin said with emotion. "Open it, it can activate the ability in your body, the strength of your mind lies in how many words you can turn red when you open the book."
"Turn red?" Garen took the book and flipped through a few pages at random. The words on the cover and the pages of the book are still the original black. No sign of reddening at all.
"Maybe I took it wrong." Zhao Xingqin kept staring at the pages of the book, and found that there was no movement, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
"No, I didn't take it wrong." Garen shook his head and denied, "Actually, I once flipped through this book in Ge Guo's store."
"Have you turned it over?" Zhao Xingqin was taken aback for a moment, and she checked the cover of the next book again. It was indeed the book of potential, and she did not take it by mistake.
Her face was slightly ugly.
"It's impossible not to respond! You have acquired such great strength at such a young age! It's impossible for you to have such poor aptitude?! If you look through it more, maybe the time is too short."
Garen shrugged, he couldn't understand the old woman's thoughts, it was just that she didn't have the ability to think, and it wasn't a big deal, why she was so excited.
"Okay, let me flip through for a while."
In the study room, there was only the sound of him slowly turning the pages of the book.
As time passed by, Zhao Xingqin's face became more and more ugly. The anticipation and glimmer of hope in his eyes gradually dimmed.
"There's no need to be so serious, right?" Garen noticed her expression.
"Sure enough, I shouldn't have hope that I shouldn't have." Zhao Xingqin suddenly sighed, and his face seemed to have aged a lot. "I originally thought that there might finally be a dawn in our lineage, but I didn't expect it to be a dream in the end."
"It's just that you don't have the aptitude for mind power. There's no need to be so serious, right?" Garen frowned.
"You don't understand. Ge Guo is the most powerful peak expert in our lineage. He represents our thousands of years of historical heritage. And now, these heritages will be lost because of this." Zhao Xingqin replied in a low voice, "He I gave you the book pendant, and only you are qualified to inherit his spiritual carrier—the Book of Potential. But now you don’t have the aptitude for mind power, and you can’t even open the pendant.”
"Let me tell you, do you think power of mind is too important to you?" Garen said flatly.
"Mind power is everything to us." Zhao Xingqin closed his eyes and replied in a voice like a gnat.
Garen was silent. He didn't know how to evaluate her concept. Everyone has their own outlook on the world and life. It is obvious that this old woman views everything from the perspective that thought power is everything.
"Forget it, let's not mention this for now." Zhao Xingqin opened his eyes, which were full of deep fatigue. "The only thing we can rely on now is you, Garen. Or we were already desperate, but we didn't expect you to appear suddenly, which gave us a glimmer of hope. Although this glimmer of hope is completely shattered now." She smiled wryly. stand up.
"Xianfran doesn't seem to regard you as opponents, does he?" Gallon said euphemistically, frowning slightly. "Now he doesn't care about your life or death at all. He probably only cares about all the creatures standing in front of him."
The actual meaning of this sentence is that Xian Fulan did not regard Zhao Xingqin and the others as opponents at all. Total neglect from beginning to end. Just like walking by the side of the road and seeing ants on the ground, I don’t even bother to step on them.
And it is true.
"Although this is not pleasant to say, it is indeed the truth." Zhao Xingqin nodded, "However, I am here to confirm it again. Jia Long, are you really sure that you want to settle the grievances with Xian Fulan completely?" She nodded The child's face became extremely solemn.
"Of course, that's the main purpose of my coming." Garen replied calmly, "I'm different from Nightmare and Andrela. This is my fundamental purpose."
At the beginning, Xian Fran almost killed him, plus the revenge for killing the old man. This is the key factor why he has been chasing after Xiangong.
After all, since he came to this world, there are only a few people who are closest to him. But the first few in the row are his younger sister Yinger, the second is the old man Ge Guo and the master, as well as uncle and parents, followed by Su Lin, Andrela and others. As for the others, after all, the relationship is still too short, and the relationship has not yet reached that point.
"What's the point of asking this question?"
Zhao Xingqin shook his head: "Just to confirm, the plot of Immortal Palace is too big. If you want to continue chasing it, you'd better be mentally prepared for danger."
"Do you understand what you're talking about?" Garen looked at the old woman carefully, "I don't think my strength will be in great danger. Whether it's the Golem Gate or the Asgard. The way forward is not right. Is it because of them that it becomes so wonderful?"
Zhao Xingqin didn't seem to expect Garen to answer like this, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately refuted.
"You're too arrogant, you don't understand how powerful Zanfran is, he even..."
"You should have more confidence in us." Garen interrupted her with a smile.
"If you are still so arrogant, you will pay a heavy price if you meet Immortal Palace again!" Zhao Xingqin was a little angry.
"It's not because of my arrogance, but because of my confidence in myself." Garen shook his head and said calmly.
"You are arrogant! You don't even know how strong Xen Fran is, yet you dare to treat him with such an attitude!"
"I said it's not arrogance." Garen frowned slightly. "Forget it, I don't want to argue with you about such meaningless questions."
"After all, you don't have the talent, and it's impossible to fight Xen Fran. He didn't take it seriously today. Once he releases his full state." Zhao Xingqin shivered uncontrollably, as if recalling some terrible scene.
Garen looked at the frightened old man in front of him, and couldn't say anything to stimulate her for a while. After all, she is also old man Ge Guo's relatives, his elders.
"The next step, maybe it's to avoid you, maybe it's planned, Zanfran's target will definitely be aimed at that place! If you think you are strong enough, then go find him!" She sighed immediately tone,
"what?"
