The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, and the sun is setting in the long river.
The endless desert is empty and lofty, magnificent and majestic. When the red sun falls in the west, the end of the horizon is bright red, but there is a sense of vicissitudes in the majestic.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, a group of caravans left long reflections on the sand dunes.
It's just that these people have no time to appreciate this rare beauty. They are exhausted at this time, their mouths are dry, and they just want to leave this ghost place as soon as possible. Naturally, no one will think that such a scene is beautiful.
In the middle of the caravan, a young man and an old woman were sitting on a camel beast, quietly looking directly at the setting sun, which was not dazzling at this time, enjoying themselves.
Compared with other people who have one foot deep and one foot shallow on the sand dunes, this is simply a life like a fairy.
And these two people are naturally Meng Yu and Aunt Mei. As the only magician in the mercenary group, he has the qualification to ride a camel. Of course, a camel that transports goods is easier than walking alone. I don't know how many times.
At this time, those warriors who were sweating forward were slandering in their hearts: "Why didn't I become a magician back then, I was so stupid!"
Meng Yu and his party have been walking in the desert for half a month, and it is said that it will take another half month to reach the Reynolds Empire. One can imagine how vast this desert is.
The burly man who Lai was looking for Meng Yu that day was the leader of the beast mercenary group, He Chong, He Chong is a mercenary who thought he was very experienced. To sand bandits, sandstorms, quicksand...
They have never encountered these most terrifying things in the desert. Therefore, in the past half a month, with Meng Yu and Aunt Mei's strength, they have already adapted to life in the desert. This is the benefit of a strong cultivation base.
For them, this is not like an escort mission, but a trip. For Meng Yu, who seldom goes out no matter in his past or present life, the beauty of this desert seems to be something he will never get tired of seeing.
In particular, the sunset, seen in the desert, has a special flavor. Even after watching it for half a month, Meng Yu has never felt tired, and on the contrary, he will never miss such a beautiful scenery every day.
"It would be great if one day I could go to the sea to watch the sunrise and sunset!" Meng Yu was filled with emotion.
However, standing in front of such a scenery, he always felt that there was one person missing.
"Master, it's time to study."
When the last ray of red light disappeared into the sky, Aunt Mei's gentle voice rang in Meng Yu's ear.
In the desert, no matter how experienced you are, you dare not drive at night, because that will make you lose your way completely. Therefore, after the sunset completely fell into the huge mouth in the sky, the caravan also stopped. Set up camp and light a bonfire.
As for setting up a camp, of course it is not the turn of Meng Yu, a magician, to do it, so this time of day is Meng Yu's study time.
The little Meng Yu before didn't pay attention to the common sense of the mainland all the time, and the later Meng Yu couldn't rest for a moment. He was busy practicing all the time, so naturally he didn't have time to understand these things.
The nearly one month of coming out of Molin City can be said to be the most leisurely time for Meng Yu, and Aunt Mei obviously discovered this shortcoming of Meng Yu, so Aunt Mei's make-up lessons began.
For more than half a month, Meng Yu was no longer that young man who didn't understand anything.
There are three major empires on the mainland, namely the Tianling Empire, the Renault Empire, and the Morin Empire. There are also three major organizations, namely the Mage Association, the Mercenary Union, and the Assassin Union.
There are countless connections between the three major organizations and the three major guilds. It can even be said that the Mage Association is firmly controlled by the Morin Empire, while the Mercenary Union belongs to the Renault Empire. As for the Assassin Union, it is The Tianling Empire is secretly controlling it.
And the Assassin's Guild also has another name called Demon God's Guild.
The first time I heard Aunt Mei mention this name, Meng Yu immediately remembered the Demon God Association that Master Mo Feng had mentioned, but since Master told me to stay away from the Demon God Association, why did he let me join the Assassins Guild
"Alright, it's time to tell you about the Tianling Empire today."
Aunt Mei sat by the bonfire, looking at the moon that had just revealed half of her head, her eyes were full of memories.
"The surname Ling is the royal surname of the Tianling Empire, but not all people with the surname Ling are members of the royal family. After thousands of years of inheritance, there are already countless people with the surname Ling in the Tianling Empire, but some of them are high-ranking officials. Nobles, princes and princesses, but some are just ordinary civilians."
Under the clear moonlight, Aunt Mei's voice full of memories slowly sounded, because he and Aunt Mei were alone by a campfire, so these remarks were not afraid of being heard by others, otherwise the conversation below them might cause trouble if it spread out. There was an uproar.
"And your father, Ling Xuan, is neither a commoner nor a relative of the emperor. He is the general of the Tianling Empire. Everyone, defend the isolated city for dozens of days, kill tens of thousands of enemies, and save the lives of the people in the city."
"Spearman Ling Xuan, he used to single-handedly and alone, charged and killed the army of thousands of people, chased and killed the local generals for thousands of miles, and finally killed him with a single shot. When he returned to the city, he was already soaked in blood, exhausted, and passed out immediately. .”
"The Spear God is the guardian of the Tianling Empire. He is famous in the mainland. The prestige of the Gunslinger Battalion makes the enemy frightened."
Aunt Mei's voice ranged from low to high, and then from high to sad, and Meng Yu listened silently from the side all the time.
In fact, since Aunt Mei started talking about the Tianling Empire, Meng Yu had vaguely guessed something, but he didn't have any feelings for the father who had never met and didn't even exist in Xiao Mengyu's memory.
Hearing what Aunt Mei said at this time, a figure of a peerless general standing with a gun appeared in his mind, but apart from admiration, he didn't have any other emotions in his heart.
Seeing Meng Yu listening quietly, Aunt Mei turned her head sadly. She knew that Meng Yu could not be blamed. Meng Yu left with her when he was six years old. Even she did not remember that painful memory. I would like to recall more, let alone a six-year-old child.
"After the battle on the front line finally came to an end, the master returned to the imperial city of the Tianling Empire, Tianling City. His Majesty treated him as a brother. Because they both had the surname Ling, they might really be brothers. His Majesty named him The Grand Marshal of the Protectorate, commanding the cavalry of the entire empire, has the privilege of being out of the country and not being subject to military orders, and the scenery is unparalleled for a while."
Aunt Mei showed a yearning smile on her face, she seemed to see Ling Xuan's majestic appearance at that time, and even her tone became a lot higher.
"It was at that time that the master met his wife, and they fell in love at first sight. Two years later, there was you. During that time, the master laughed from ear to ear every day, and said that the young master's talent was better than him. In the future, he will definitely be an indomitable man, a peerless master who dominates one side."
"The Ling family is said to be a family chosen by the gods. At the age of six, the descendants of the Ling family can perform the apocalypse and obtain the guardian sacred object bestowed by the gods. The guardian sacred object is actually a symbol of blood. The guardian of the sacred object is both It can be a weapon, or a monster, or even a book, pots and pans, etc. For example, Master Ling Xuan's guardian holy object is a gun."
"Guarding the sacred object also symbolizes the child's future achievements, so the apocalypse of every member of the Ling family is a grand event, and the son of Master Ling Xuan, who is the Grand Marshal of the National Guard, is even more so. "
"Almost the dignitaries and dignitaries of the entire Tianling Empire came that day, and the young master did not disappoint them. The guardian relic that the young master got after the apocalypse was the legendary white tiger. The master is also proud of your talent, and you give it frequently. The guests toast, that day can be said to be a joyous occasion for the guests and hosts."
"But at night, the master seemed to have received some news suddenly, and he was very anxious. This expression, even when he was guarding the lonely city that day, did not appear on his face. I don't know what news the master got. , but after the master gritted his teeth, let my wife and I take you away."
There were faint tears in Aunt Mei's eyes. It seemed that the relationship between Aunt Mei and Ling Xuan was very unusual.
"We who don't know the situation will naturally not leave alone,"
"At this moment, more than a dozen people in black rushed in. These people are very powerful. The Master and Madam teamed up and barely stopped them. But I took this opportunity to take you out of the Ling Mansion. I ran all the way and didn't dare to look back at all, I only remembered Madam asking me to protect you in my mind."
"I don't know what happened afterwards, and I didn't even dare to inquire about what happened that day, because I was afraid of being discovered by those men in black, but in the end we still did not escape from their palms. Three days after I escaped , a group of men in black surrounded me."
"At that time, I was determined to die. I didn't expect that, because I had never shown my strength in front of outsiders. When I fought against them, I realized that they were vulnerable. The man in black is far behind."
"So, I killed them all, and then escaped from the Tianling Empire, but I don't know why, they always catch up with us, so I took the young master and fled around, until a few years ago, we arrived at the Molin Empire. After Xi Town, they seem to have lost our clues suddenly, and they haven't found us for several years."
"However, in order to deal with those people in the Molin Empire, I used the top-secret martial arts belonging to the Ling family. They must have recognized it. I think they will find us in a short time, so I want to tell these You. If it really comes to a critical moment, please young master not to be reluctant to part with the old slaves, I will block them, young master find a remote place to hide, and come out when you have enough strength."
"If the young master really wants revenge, don't reveal your identity if you haven't reached the level of a great magister. In fact, I hope that the young master will forget the hatred and live a peaceful life."
Aunt Mei had already burst into tears, but at the end, she suddenly smiled at Meng Yu, not knowing whether it was joy or sorrow.
"Aunt Mei, don't worry, I won't leave you, and they will definitely not find us. We didn't leave any traces along the way, even if they were dogs, they wouldn't be able to smell us."
Meng Yu wiped away tears for Aunt Mei, and said with a smile.
Looking at Meng Yu's appearance, Aunt Mei didn't say much, but said without thinking: "Master, remember, your name is Ling Yu."
