Turn a beast into a god

Chapter 304 The mysterious black-robed man

"I left a woodcutter's house after the disaster in Garan Province was settled down. Most of the pain on my body was healed. When I wanted to sneak to the north to find out the situation, I found another piece of paper in the package." Lu After Xu Lei finished speaking, he took out another letter from his clothes. Cui Quji couldn't wait for everyone's reaction, so he grabbed the letter first and started to read it.

Cui Quji suddenly realized after reading it, and he was determined.

"Fortunately, Hong Tianying and Luo Xiaotao are fine. They are now at the Summer Palace, and I believe they will come to the Southern Region soon." Cui Quji handed the paper to Qiao Anguo, and then circulated it one by one, and everyone knew the letter content.

"What is the identity of this black-robed man? Why did he come all the way to the north to rescue Brigadier Lu from birth? He went so hard to rescue Hong Tianying and Luo Xiaotao. Could it be someone we know well?" Qiao Min was the most vigilant , Take the lead in breaking the atmosphere and asking the most critical questions.

"Lu Xulei is very strong. He has defended northern Xinjiang for more than ten years. His strength is comparable to that of General Qiao. He is no match for this man in black. May I ask who has this strength?" Yang Chengfu, who sat opposite him, pondered for a moment, rubbing his hands The back of his hand, speaking out the inference in his heart.

Hu Sigui smiled, straightened his back slightly, waved his hands, and spoke loudly.

"Don't you think that this black-robed man is ahead of the enemy, and he is one step ahead of everyone, as if nothing can escape his calculations. Could it be that this man has reached the peak of his cultivation, and he will fly up soon, and he will break the law of time before he leaves , Count me out?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and after listening to this, they thought it made sense.At this age, he is already very aware that the shackles of this world are not only the oppression of the will of the world, but also the double shackles of the law of time and the law of space. In the Supreme Spirit Emperor Realm, one needs to understand the laws of time, and only by understanding the laws of time and space can one survive the catastrophe with a physical body, otherwise, the body will die, and the dao will disappear, and there will be no bones left.

When one's cultivation level is enough to soar, he can race against time and use the laws of time and space to do something on the Oran Continent. The bystanders of the robbers all know the truth.

Perhaps it was a hasty action made by people of later generations who traveled through time and space to remind everyone who was entangled in their fate...

"Actually, I once talked with that man in black robe, maybe half a year ago. It's a pity that I didn't see his face. He was wearing a mask and couldn't see his face. I can only judge that he is a man with too much cultivation. Overbearing, I can't get too close to him, so be wary of me." Qiao Anguo smiled bitterly, and slowly talked about the past.

"Is it the time when I was stunned?" Qiao Wei seemed to realize what Qiao Anguo said, and he himself had witnessed it, but he was stunned by the black-robed man just by meeting him.

"Yes, that night." Qiao Anguo nodded, confirming that what Qiao Wei said was true.

"The black-robed man was so powerful. When he patted me lightly, I felt numb all over. It seemed to be an attack method mixed with spiritual power and spiritual power. I passed out on the spot. Fortunately, I didn't suffer too much. That person didn't want to hurt me..." Qiao Wei recalled that experience, still unconsciously afraid for a while.After decades of cultivation, it was the first time he was subdued when he met face to face, and he was powerless to fight back.

"Qing Prison Heart Demon Thunder?" Hu Sigui murmured to himself thoughtfully, his voice was extremely low, so no one could hear him.

"Don't be a fool, what did the black-robed man tell you?" Yang Chengfu was the most impatient, he couldn't wait any longer, and urged Qiao Anguo to tell the truth as soon as possible.

"You must all be thinking that the Shangtianmen, Wuxuanmen, Shenwei Army, and Shadow Sect of the imperial court are all here to suppress the Southern Territory. This matter is inseparable from my western expedition to the Loulan Dynasty. The fact is exactly the same. The black robe People told me three things, which made me unable to calm down for a long time, so I led the army to march west. This move was considered by the imperial court to be an act of rebellion and rebellion, but I had to do it." Glanced Yang Chengfu and Qiao Anguo talked about it.

"The first thing is that there will be turmoil this year. A disaster that will cause the Jia Luo Empire to fall apart. The fuse of the disaster will be in the north. A hidden sect will have a head-on conflict with the new elite of the empire. The new elite of the empire will lose to the hidden sect. The sect will eventually join it and become a pawn in his hand for this hidden world sect to drive. Now that the hidden world sect is what Brother Lu said is the Hall of Souls, Brother Lu and Hong Tianying were able to get out and escape safely. The robe man has exhausted his plan. And the new star of the empire, I think it is Wang Chengliang."

"The second thing is the hidden dangers in the Southern Territory. There are two people named Han Junhu and Zhang Mengxue in the prison. The black-robed man reminded them that they are believers of a force called Guanhaizhuang. They rob the rich and help the poor, and uphold justice. , Although the method is cruel, the people killed are all corrupt officials. Their behavior is a bit extreme and cannot be imitated. The man in black said that the future rise and fall of the southern region is inseparable from this Guanhaizhuang, let me treat the people in Guanhaizhuang with courtesy In addition, he also told me that all the soldiers who might be spies, after my follow-up careful observation, were indeed sent by Shangtianmen and Shadow Sect. The man in black also told me about the betrayals."

"Guanhaizhuang?" Hu Sigui raised his eyebrows and pinched the flesh on the tiger's mouth, but he heard it from Qiao Anguo's mouth, thinking of Wu Tongsuo and his granddaughter Hu Peiwen, thoughtfully.

"No wonder, last time you suddenly told me that Qiao Liang had a problem. I still didn't believe it. A thorough investigation found that he was the eyeliner of the Shenwei Army in the Southern Region. At that time, I was still thinking that you are busy raising military affairs every day, how could you have time? Get rid of the traitors..." Yang Chengfu looked suddenly enlightened, and his voice became smaller and smaller as he talked to himself, but it was obvious that Qiao Wei, Qiao Min, and Zuo Renbao had heard the truth, and they were even more shocked inexplicably.

No wonder, no wonder I haven't seen Qiao Liang for a while, so he is the secret agent of the Shenwei Army?
"The third thing is this Western Expedition. The man in black advised me not to sit still. The empire will not send a single soldier to wipe out the advance army of the Loulan Dynasty. But not only to deal with the many forces in the empire, but also to deal with the invasion of the Loulan Dynasty. I also listened to the opinions of the black-robed man and crossed the border to disrupt the Loulan Dynasty. Now the Loulan Dynasty is overwhelmed and will not be distracted. The empire side is the best situation."

"The man in black said what should we do next?" Cui Quji remained silent. After hearing these three things, he hurriedly asked. It was about the lives of millions of people in the Southern Region. Tens of millions of people, if their lives are ruined, they don't know how busy they will be, and years of hard work will be ruined. Cui Quji can't just sit idly by.

"The man in black did say it, but he didn't explain it clearly. He just asked us to delay the imperial court's offensive as long as possible. We don't need us to repel the imperial court's soldiers and horses. As long as we delay it, what happens in the north In the turmoil, the city lords of the eight provinces of Galo will declare their independence one after another and break away from the rule of the empire. The city lords will support themselves and no longer recognize the Luo family as the orthodox of the empire. The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the imperial court will retreat automatically, and if Yong Yao falls, the Luo family will really become history." Qiao Anguo spoke slowly, but his eyes fell on Feng Qingyang, and he confirmed it several times Later, he drifted to his granddaughter Qiao Kexin, and the central matter was beyond words.

Zhu Boming openly accused Nanyu of having the intention of treason. After many years of contact, he thought there was enough consensus, but he was too short-sighted.My granddaughter and Zhu Boming's son Zhu Guangning are about to get married. I saw that the two were in love with each other, and you and I agreed in my heart. I wanted to discuss the marriage with Zhu Boming again on this year's Anniversary Day. Unfortunately, this situation is now Impossible, but Feng Muyang actually stood on the side of Nanyu, which really refreshed Qiao Anguo's three views.

Then look at Feng Qingyang in front of him. He looks handsome and behaves fairly decently. Regardless of whether the two of them have feelings for each other, they should be considered a good match.A friend in adversity sees the truth, Nanyu stands on the opposite side of the imperial court, and those who are willing to advance and retreat with Nanyu are the real allies.

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that Feng Qingyang was pleasing to the eye, Qiao Anguo withdrew his gaze, and had a plan in mind.

"If things really develop as the black-robed man said, then as long as the Southern Territory survives this crisis, won't it become the most powerful force in the entire empire besides the imperial court? Then what is there to be afraid of?" Lu Xulei Resting his forehead in thought, he tapped his fingers on the table.

"It's too early to say that the biggest crisis is still in the north. If all troops are deployed to guard the northern line of defense, if the sea spirit beasts wait for an opportunity to invade, we will not be able to deal with this crisis. The line of defense, the Haiying Battalion guards the sea area. Everyone thinks that Lu Xulei's disappearance is probably dead. We use this to let Lu Xulei temporarily take over the Haiying Battalion to guard the sea area, while Qiao Anguo, me, and Cui Quji guard the north. Defensive line, use the terrain to repel the imperial court's mighty army. At that time, I will send out all the spirit beasts in the spirit beast garden to reduce the casualties of the soldiers of the Southern Territory Legion. If necessary, I will use the prohibition of the Wanshouzong Curse, listen to my orders when the time comes, and everyone retreats in time according to my orders to avoid accidental injury. Brother Lu, do you think this arrangement is feasible?"

Yang Chengfu's words were sincere, and it seemed that they were discussing, but in fact they had already made arrangements.It was rare for people to see that Yang Chengfu would come forward to preside over the overall situation. Seeing Qiao Anguo's tacit attitude, everyone understood that this was intentional.Thinking about it, Qiao Anguo had insisted on going westward to conquer Loulan before, and now Yang Chengfu was asked to be the commander of the Southern Region Legion. The reason is for cohesion.

"It's so good, the old man can still use his residual heat, and this body can still move for a few more years, hahaha..." Lu Xulei knew it well, but he didn't think it was wrong, since he came to the Southern Region alone With the intention of putting in effect, don’t look at the brigade commander who has been in the Northern Territory for more than ten years. In Lu Xulei’s view, that is all a false name. After spending more than ten years in the ice and snow, everything is new when I come to the Southern Region. After taking off the coat of spiritual power to resist the wind and snow, Lu Xulei felt that the spiritual power in his body was as vast as a great river, and the spiritual veins in his body were constantly flowing, and he still had the embarrassment of being in the northern border for more than ten years.

No wonder... No wonder Hong Tianying didn't want to leave the Southern Territory. With the humid wind and warm climate, people can suffer for a while, but if they taste the sweetness and return to the bitter cold land, they will only have the sweetness in their hearts Yes, every minute and every second is bitter.

"Then I would like to thank Brother Lu. You were the brigade commander and were at the same level as Qiao Anguo. It is a grievance to let you take charge of the Haiying Battalion temporarily. After this battle is over, let Brother Lu be at the same level as General Qiao. The legion can also be driven by you!" Yang Chengfu got the answer he wanted, and made a promise on behalf of Qiao Anguo. These words must have been discussed with Qiao Anguo long ago, but it was just said by him.

"That's not necessary. The old man has been a soldier all his life. He is tired and has no intention of taking power. I will work hard in the future where I can be useful in the Southern Territory, but don't give me the post of commander. Brother Qiao, look how?"

"If that's the case, then I will take up the post of Zhennan General. The soldiers of the third battalion can listen to your orders except me and Yang Chengfu. You don't have to worry about it. This is what you deserve, so you don't have to shirk it." Qiao Anguo saw Lu Xulei didn't want to take power in the army, and he didn't know whether it was sincere or just rhetoric, so he immediately promised the rank of general and promised power.Lu Xulei is highly respected, and he has contributed a lot to the stability of Lu Xulei in the northern region for many years. Such a powerful commander cannot be buried. Qiao Anguo is afraid that Lu Xulei will leave the southern region, and it will be even more difficult to find Lu Xulei again in the future up.

"Brother Lu, you don't have to worry about it. This is the true thought of the two of us. If Brother Lu joins the Southern Territory, it will be more stable. Zuo Renbao, the driving camp is driven by Brother Lu, you must obey him unconditionally Order." Yang Chengfu spoke hastily, with a firm attitude.

"Yes, the last general is in command, and he will live up to his entrustment!" Zuo Renbao was the best at observing words and expressions, and answered Yang Chengfu's words as soon as he finished speaking.

"Okay, then I will act as the commander-in-chief temporarily, and I will return the military power after this battle is over. Please don't persuade me anymore. I will retire in the southern region in the future. I hope you can give me a place to stay." Lu Lu Xu Lei knew it was hard to evade, so he had no choice but to agree, and also talked about his future plans, which was a reassurance for Qiao Anguo and Yang Chengfu.

"Where is it? I will definitely arrange a residence for Brother Lu according to the highest standard!" Yang Chengfu was overjoyed. He was both from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, but he and Lu Xulei did not have much intersection. Now that the two meet in the barracks, if they can cooperate With a tacit understanding, the many spirit beasts in the spirit beast garden will be better taken care of.

Everyone continued to discuss and made a lot of preparations for the next fortifications to ensure that nothing would go wrong. From dawn to dusk, no one felt sleepy. Qiao Bang even listened with gusto. There are similarities in the song but the same effect, which makes Qiaobang more and more excited as he listens to it.

On the other hand, Qiao Kexin has always been sullen and absent-minded. She only moved a little when Pinglan Province and City Lord Zhu were mentioned, but now this situation is impossible for Qiao Kexin and Zhu Guangning. Zhu Boming is on the side of the imperial court. It was tantamount to completely tearing up the many cooperations with the South Territory. Cao Yang's years of planning were like overturning water, and Zhu Guangning was called back to Lanwu City early by Zhu Boming on the grounds that his mother was ill, and he never appeared again.

Even Xu Ruoyun agreed on the spot to make Qiao Kexin the remaining parts of the Jialuo Shengyao suit, Qiao Kexin didn't mean to be happy at all, but just mechanically nodded his thanks, more polite than sincere.

Before the meeting ended, Hu Sigui proposed the situation of recruiting students from the southern region, briefly analyzed the impact of the current situation on Dinghai Junior Lingwu Academy, and frankly admitted the difficulties he was facing. Qiao Anguo, Yang Chengfu, and Cui Quji had already learned It is expected that it coincides with the proposal to arrange school-age children with good talents in the Southern Territory to receive college education in Wanfeng City. The tuition fees for the school-age children will be provided by the Southern Territory Legion, which will never be less than the tuition paid in previous years. The funds are used to help Dinghai Provincial Junior Lingwu Academy with teaching funds, and at the same time to stabilize teachers in disguise to prevent the loss of talents.

Hu Sigui was overjoyed and thanked him again and again, but Qiao Anguo didn't shy away from it, saying that since he has sworn sworn brothers, he is his own brother, and it is only natural to help each other.The future of the Southern Territory must be these children. In addition to cultivating their will to fight, it is more important to have a sound mind and let the children have a sense of family and country, instead of blindly respecting the imperial court and serving the imperial court like eagles and dogs. This is the greatest tragedy of being a spiritual warrior.

At the end of the meeting, Qiao Anguo wanted to arrange a dinner party, but Xu Ruoyun had a sudden idea and went to the Spiritual Beast Garden to borrow a forging platform; Hu Si returned to the College of Mind, and left the Southern Region using the space spirit method to rush back to Wind City; Feng Qingyang also learned of the follow-up arrangements, so he had no intention of enjoying the dinner and rushed back to Wanfeng City overnight to convey a message to Feng Muyang; Lu Xulei said that he was practicing a kung fu and could not eat for seven days, so he politely declined the offer.

Naturally, there was no way to eat this dinner, so everyone went back to their residences. Qiao Anguo watched Yang Chengfu leave the Chinese military camp, and he lost the idea of ​​staying in the military camp. He held Qiao Bang's hand and walked slowly. Talking all the way back to Qiaozhuang, Yang Shuqi and Qiao Kexin followed closely behind them. Compared with Qiao Anguo's relieved mood, Yang Shuqi and Qiao Kexin were a little preoccupied. Qiao Bang, who was walking in front, had already felt it, but it was not so frequent. Look sideways.

Sister Qiao Kexin has finally reached the age of a flower, and she behaves normally after emotional frustration...It is not appropriate to talk about love and love with my small body, how can I comfort Qiao Kexin?

The person who tied the bell had to be untied, perhaps Zhu Guangning had to explain this in person.Although I also despise that Zhu Guangning, I always feel that he has one thing on the outside and another on the other side, he looks like a handsome young man, but in reality he is a flamboyant person, on the contrary, Feng Qingyang can tell at a glance that he has a straightforward personality, and he can make friends with him if he looks the same.

Qiao Kexin's emotional problems really can't be meddled with, not to mention that he is only an eight-year-old child now, and he may not necessarily listen to himself. One more thing is worse than one less thing. I believe that the godmother will help Qiao Kexin get through this. Bitter stage.

Arriving at Qiaozhuang, the four of them shared dinner in the dining hall. Qiaobang, who was used to college life, was used to the noisy environment in his ears when eating, and suddenly returned to the atmosphere of eating and sleeping without talking. He was somewhat uncomfortable. In the end, Qiao Bang had no choice but to eat with his head down. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Qiao Kexin who hadn't touched much food, and sighed inwardly.

After the meal, Yang Shuqi took Qiao Kexin away. Qiao Kexin threw off Yang Shuqi's hand on his shoulder with some temper, and hurried back to the residence, while Qiao Anguo and Qiao Bang went to Qiao Bang's residence together. Entering the house, Qiao Anguo was about to speak when Qiao Bang locked the doors and windows, took out twelve scattered spirit arrays and placed them near the doors and windows to ensure that no servant could overhear the conversation between the two.

"Xiao Bang has really grown up, and his awareness of prevention is very good. Grandpa is very pleased." Qiao Anguo stared straight at Qiao Bang, his appreciation was undisguised.

"Grandpa came today just in time, and I'm about to give Grandpa the formation disks I made this semester." Qiao Bang felt a little uncomfortable being watched by this gaze, so he took out the tortoise shell and took out hundreds of Juling formation disks and more than 40 Zhang Sanling took out the disk, and even Qiao Bang felt that his spiritual power was consumed a bit too much. When he put the object in it, he didn't feel it, but when he took it out, he felt that the spiritual power was draining too fast.

"This is the spirit-gathering array disk, and this is the spirit-dispersing array disk. You only need to infuse spiritual power into the grooves on the surface of the disk to activate it. You can restore spiritual power on the battlefield or throw the spirit-dispersing disk to disturb the enemy. The spiritual formations set up are extremely useful. If they stop working, you only need to stimulate the spiritual power to block the flow of spiritual power on the formation disk. It is no problem that such a formation disk can be used hundreds of times without being violently shaken. If you throw the loose spirit array out, you have to see if the grooves on it are still complete."

"Before, Tian Ye also brought the array disk back to the Southern Region, and explained how to use it in detail. Did you make these all by yourself? Did you waste your studies after working so hard?"

"Not really, Grandpa, I have been able to make a formation board in a short period of time. I always choose to make it on my rest day. Later, I stopped making it to prepare for the two-house league. Otherwise, I can make more The array is coming."

"Oh? Two-house league?"

Qiao Anguo was obviously the first time to hear about the league between the two colleges, and he became interested. Qiao Bang also shared his experience during this period, being tortured by Teacher Gu Tong... being dragged into the air by Hu Sigui to understand the heart of the storm Ah... I went to Lanshan Canglanjian to learn Ziyunzong's exercises... Qiao Bang's mouth was a little dry, so he stopped speaking, grabbed the kettle on the table and poured two glasses of water, After handing it to Qiao Anguo, he quickly took another cup and drank it down, poured some water and poured it into his stomach again.

Qiao Anguo listened to Qiao Bang's introduction of the college's study and training experience, blinked his eyes from time to time, and looked at Qiao Bang's dancing, Qiao Anguo only felt that he saw the shadow of his son Qiao Zhijie in Qiao Bang, but he used to treat The son was very strict, and in the end his son died in Yongyaodu because of his personality.Now seeing Qiao Bang's hard-working but still optimistic appearance, Qiao Anguo only has love and pity in his heart, and can't give birth to any serious thoughts.

"Did Xiaobang work hard during this time?"

"It's not hard, it's all for becoming stronger. From now on, I will also share my worries for grandpa. I will grow up quickly, stand in front of grandpa, and help you fight the enemy!"

Seeing Qiao Bang's sincere expression, Qiao Anguo felt very relieved, and also felt that Qiao Bang had undergone a great transformation in this year.Perhaps it was because he was busy with military affairs and neglected to care about Qiao Bang, and after a few hasty meetings, he still carried his previous views. After this conversation, Qiao Anguo saw the changes in Qiao Bang's personality and cultivation, his confidence and sense of responsibility It was something Qiao Anguo hadn't noticed before.

"Grandpa expects Xiaobang to become stronger, but he doesn't want you to be around him. There are infinite possibilities in this vast world. When you grow up, I hope you can go out and experience yourself and pursue your path."

"I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to be with grandpa. Grandpa has worked so hard, and I also want to share his worries and problems."

"Xiaobang has a heart. As long as you are upright, broad-minded, and help the weak, it will be enough to make grandpa happy. A good man has ambitions everywhere. You may not understand it now. In the future, I hope you will travel every inch of the Jialuo Empire. , also travel to the Loulan Dynasty and the Aolai Empire, and see the thousands of worlds, if you feel physically and mentally exhausted, it will not be too late to return to the Southern Region."

"Since Grandpa wants me to travel the world, then I will follow Grandpa's wish."

Seeing Qiao Bang sitting on the bench and leaning against his calf, Qiao Anguo raised his palm and rubbed Qiao Bang's hair. Before he knew it, Qiao Bang had grown such long hair that his little face could already You can see the outline of the cheekbones.

"Principal Hu said you contracted a raven, right?"

"Yes, in fact, I just want to talk to Grandpa about this. Can I ask for some rare and exotic materials?"

"Is it the teacher in your academy who gave you the idea again, asking you to use these materials to let the hard crow evolve? Just like the light chasing leopard evolves into the glow white leopard?" Qiao Anguo asked with a smile, obviously related He had already asked Hu Sigui about the evolution of the light-chasing leopard into a glowing white leopard, but Hu Sigui said that Qiao Bang got the method from the southern region, which contributed to the evolution of the light-chasing leopard into a glowing white leopard.In my impression, Qiao Bang once explained that it was the method provided by the teacher of the Element Tower in the college.

Obviously, Qiao Bang lied, but the result was good. As for where this evolution method came from, Qiao Anguo wanted to find out.

"That's right, it's that teacher who recommended me to let the Ravens evolve into dark-attributed spirit beasts. It just so happens that I have realized the Heart of Eternal Night, so there is no problem in letting the Ravens evolve." Qiao Bang was ambiguous, There is no meaning to explain it in detail.

Qiao Anguo knew that Qiao Bang didn't want to talk about this topic, and he thought that it would not be a bad thing to evolve into a glowing white leopard. Six members of the Southern Territory Legion had evolved the chasing light leopard into a glowing white leopard according to Qiao Bang's experience. Light white leopard.Although the materials are expensive, the evolved Glow White Leopard has outstanding effects on the battlefield, sharing a lot of pressure from Bixia Villa, and effectively controlling the casualty rate.

Since Qiao Bang can make the spirit beast evolve into a better form, let him do it, and it happened to be what the man in black asked. Now it seems that everything has come true.

"Since Xiaobang has made a decision, grandpa will definitely support it with all his strength. Tell me what rare and exotic materials you need. It would be best if you have them in the southern region. If you don't have them, you can only wait for a while."

"I need six hollow bones of the dark phantom mephit, three flower roots of the phantom spirit orchid, nectar of the corpse mandala, six fruits of the dark locust tree, twelve moon peaches, the rhizome of the bone konjac and the wolf's tail The number of lotus seeds of the lotus."

The more Qiao Anguo listened, the more confused he became. The hollow bone of the dark-born magic mephit is the pair of wings, and the six bones need the bones of three dark-born magic mephits. I have heard of this, and Xiang Yuetao also has them in the southern region. It is planted and often grows on hillsides backed by the sun. Pennisetum is not difficult to find. It is found in Binh Lam Province, and you can find it with a little effort.

"Some of these materials are easy to get, and I haven't heard of some of them. So, tomorrow, I will go to Bixia Mountain and ask Uncle Cui to help with the collection."

Qiao Bang said again and again that since Qiao Anguo did not break the casserole and ask the end, it is naturally better to have more than less.

The old and the young sat in the room chatting for a long time that night, Qiao Anguo didn't seem to be sleepy, and wanted to chat with Qiao Bang for more time.

And the mysterious black-robed man was on the eaves opposite the house at the moment, quietly looking at the house with closed doors and windows, thinking deeply.
