sleep forever

361 Get involved

In the middle of the night, the stars shine.Moonlight spilled from the window onto the desk.The pope changed into casual clothes and sat down at his desk.His wife was already in bed, and he wasn't much sleepy.What happened to Bai Qianxin made him feel that his previous premonition should be true. There must be something wrong inside the Sun Temple, otherwise Bai Qianxin would not be so embarrassed. He could feel that Bai Qianxin at that time She was very weak, and if it wasn't for an inexplicable spirit supporting her, she would have collapsed long ago.

"Qian Xin." The Pope sighed faintly, and a kind of astringent mood came to his heart.Everyone has had a first love, even noble as the pope is no exception.As a powerful figure in the Temple of the Sun, the Pope knew a lot of secret information, and he naturally knew about Bai Qianxin's age.Over the past few years, Bai Qianxin has been running around for the Temple of the Sun as soon as she wakes up, and when she returns to the temple, she will fall into a deep sleep after a few days of rest.It is because of this that when the Pope was young, he did not express his love to Bai Qianxin.

After so many years, he thought that he had taken these secret loves lightly, but every few decades, when Bai Qianxin woke up from the basement, when he saw her, he would feel his heart throbbing again.

With such feelings, the pope saw the weak Bai Qianxin, and the anger in his heart could be imagined, but his city was very good and rational, and he didn't show it in front of anyone at all.The more important thing now than Bai Qian's safety is the survival of the Sun Temple. The Sun Temple has been monolithic for thousands of years, and absolutely cannot cause any problems in his hands. If there is any sign of division, it must be killed in the cradle .

He buried his body into the back of the chair. Although the pope looked young on the surface, in fact, the internal organs of his body had already aged.In about four or fifty years, he will die without a problem.Death is not the end, it is a way to go to another world, but before leaving, he must leave a stable Sun Temple for the next pope.

There are those people who are selling out the interests of the Sun Temple.In other words, desire is not good for the Sun Temple.Who are they and why are they doing this? Now the Pope has preliminary suspicions, but he has no intention to stop acting rashly. After all, a person can be found guilty just by guessing.This is not in line with the philosophy of the Sun Temple, and most importantly, he does not want to startle the snake.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the pope was going to take a rest, but he hadn't stood up from his chair yet.He sighed in his mouth, and then looked out the window.Sun Chaser City is not too far from Sun Temple.The bells of the Hercules family came here.He could barely hear, and the hearing of new humans was much better than that of ordinary people, and the pope could hear clearly.

"Nineteen!" The Pope frowned.Not long ago, I heard the summoning bell of the Hercules family, and the Sun Temple didn't care. After all, every family always has something to deal with, so it's not surprising that the summoning order rings once or twice.But the problem is that the nineteen-ring bell of the Hercules family will only ring when the family is in danger, and everyone around Sunstrider City knows this rule.Including the Sun Temple.

The Pope stood up, and when he passed the bedroom, he saw his wife was still sleeping soundly, and couldn't help but smile slightly.The new human's hearing is very sensitive, but his wife has always been a very dead sleeper, even if there is thunder, she will not wake up, and a few knocks will not affect her.

He went to the pope's hall, which was dominated by golden tones, sat on the throne, and then pressed the red button next to Yu's left armrest.Not long after, several people rushed to the Pope's hall, four men and two women.He sat down and said softly: "You must have heard the bell ringing just now. It rings nineteen. This is the bell that the Hercules family will only use in critical situations. Although it is said that the battle between the world has nothing to do with our Sun Temple Great, but one thing is, the Hercules family is a special family designated by us. There are many things that we are inconvenient to face, so we will hand them over to them. Once the Hercules family disappears, we have to find another one who is willing to work with us. It is very troublesome to re-cultivate the loyalty of the families we cooperate with. Therefore, at this time, we have to ask everyone to see what is going on. If we can help, we will help. If you encounter something that cannot be resolved, you should stay stable now, send someone back to report the situation, and then we will hold an emergency meeting to deal with it as appropriate."

"As for the candidates for departure, Wang Xinling, Graham, and...Alpha." The pope's eyes moved slightly, and then he continued: "The three of you know the wind dance technique, so let's go directly now."

After bending slightly, the three left the Pope's hall at the same time.The Pope was sitting on the throne, looking at Alpha's back, not knowing what he was thinking about, his eyes were always wandering.

In the open space in front of the City Lord's Mansion, at least 2000 people gathered, including men, women and children.Among the hustle and bustle, there was a din of voices.The summoning order a few hours ago was enough to surprise people. Unexpectedly, in less than half a day, the City Lord's Mansion actually knocked nineteen times... This is the City of Chasing the Sun, the City of Divine Yu. Gris has never encountered any decent opponent, or 'attack'. Although the Nineteen Rings have existed since the founding of the family, they have never used such an order.

These 2000 people are the "branches" of Hercules. After thousands of years, the blood of the Hercules family has taken root and sprouted everywhere in the city. On the surface, there are only about 30 members of the Hercules family in the Lord's Mansion. , But in the dark, there are more than 2000 people with the blood of the Hercules family.

The people of Hercules are all guessing what happened. With the Temple of the Sun as their backer, who dared to take their tiger whiskers? Could it be that the Temple of the Sun is planning to abandon them?Such conjectures are pervasive in the crowd, and there is no way around it. If anyone in the Sun Chasing City can force the Hercules family to the juncture of 'genocide', after much deliberation, it can only be the Temple of the Sun, ordinary human beings. The aristocratic family, even the king of a country, does not have such ability, because their power cannot enter Zhuri City at all.

Time passed by, and just when the clansmen were about to lose their patience, the old patriarch appeared on the balcony on the second floor.He looked at the dense crowd below and was very satisfied, then he nodded, and the girl next to him handed over an original loudspeaker, which was a gift from the Sun Temple.

"I'm very happy. There are many people who consider themselves members of the Hercules family." The old patriarch held up the trumpet.Slowly said: "And at this critical juncture, after hearing the nineteenth ringing, you rushed over, and did not shrink back because of the imminent danger, nor did you choose to stand by because you were a branch. Thank you."

It was quiet down there.

The old patriarch took a breath, he was young, he spoke too long, and was prone to fatigue: "About an hour ago, Pansy died, and then not long after. My seventh great-grandson, Dragon, also died, he died It was heroic, and at the same time, we lost the lives of more than 400 good men. More than half of them were the elite of the Knights."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was astonished.Dragon took the knights to find trouble for Chen Xiansong.Only a small number of people in Sun Chasing City know about it.Moreover, as a city lord, Dragon represents the face of the Hercules family. Now that he is dead, it shows that the enemy intends to fight the Hercules family forever. Who the hell is so bold.Is it really the servant of the sun god?

"Our enemies are very strong, and there are only three of them for the time being." The old patriarch listened to the noisy discussion below, and then said: "But the one who caused us to suffer such a huge loss was one person. A woman. She Very strong, although she is not the servant of the sun god, but she is definitely as strong as the servant of the sun god."

There was another commotion below, which was too unacceptable for everyone, who is a woman who is not a servant of the sun god, but can kill their elite knights in one fell swoop.

The old patriarch pressed his hand down to signal them to be quiet, and then continued holding the horn, "Belinda also participated in the battle at that time, but she was very lucky, because she was in the rear, and she managed to recover a life , but was also seriously injured. According to what she saw, that woman had a strange set of armor, which could exert a considerable degree of elemental power even under the anti-elemental force field, and most importantly, such a powerful woman seemed to have two."

After a short silence, there was a sudden commotion below, as if volcanic lava that had been suppressed for hundreds of years erupted from the crater all at once.In the Hercules family, there are not many wastes. Most people are very clear that fighters and magicians are not very effective on the battlefield because of the existence of anti-elemental arrows. If that kind of armor can really offset the anti-element If the energy of the force field can be produced on a certain scale, then the factors that will influence the war in the future will be completely rewritten, and the fighters and magicians will become the decisive force in a war, and their status will be greatly improved, even May have the right to speak directly with the great nobles.

The old patriarch waited for them to discuss for a while, and after they digested this fact, he raised the horn and continued: "According to the information we received before, these two powerful women seem to be just two servants. , and their master is a young man, a young man from Zhendan, this is not the key, his true identity is a soul thinker."

As soon as these words came out, the lower part suddenly became quiet, unlike before, when the old patriarch said something, the lower part was discussed.Now they finally understood why the City Lord's Mansion had to ring the nineteen-ring alarm bell.Two women as powerful and terrifying as the servants of the sun god, and wearing armor that is not afraid of anti-elemental force fields, these are already difficult enemies to deal with, and now even soul thinkers are mixed in, which really endangers Hercules The survival of the family.

As one of the three major forces, the Soul Thinkers Association, although it is near the Sun Chasing City, the Soul Thinkers Association is not very powerful, and they still distribute points for the three forces, and the power is not fully integrated. The weakest of all, but no one dares to underestimate their energy, for no reason, these bastards are too smart.

"We have to believe that the soul thinkers have found a special way to avoid the suppression of the anti-elemental force field." The old patriarch took a breath and continued: "No matter why that young man wanted to enmity with us, it is now It's not important, I don't understand why he didn't call directly, but I know that he must be tied up by something and can't move for the time being. When he frees up, he will definitely come to deal with our Hercules family .”

Looking at the quiet scene below, the old patriarch continued: "Instead of passive defense, we should take the initiative to attack when the other party breaks up. As I said before, the enemy is very strong, too strong, so if we fight them , Many people will die. I don't ask you all to join the war, but I hope. Those who are capable of fighting will stay and fight for the family. This is the most important and dangerous time for us. Our main family needs you strength."

Discussions gradually sounded, and then a group of people was separated from the crowd, most of them were old people, women and children. Of course, there were also some strong men mixed in, and they were on the other side of the crowd.With his head down, he endured the sarcasm in everyone's glances from time to time.

The old patriarch looked down, there were at least 1000 people, and he was very relieved.There are more than 1000 soldiers in the City Guards.There are more than 100 elite elites in the knight order, plus these 1000 people. A team of more than 2000 people.Enough to fight the enemy.Of course, the old patriarch is not the kind of person who throws all eggs in one basket. He asked a member of the family to direct and dispatch the upcoming war, while he walked back to the room.

Belinda sat on a bench, dazed.

The old patriarch walked over and said slowly: "Little Linda, don't be sad, Dragon died in battle, and he didn't disgrace our Hercules family. The group of branch families outside also remember where their blood came from. Come on. In this battle, it is not certain who will die and who will live."

"Old ancestor, since the enemy is so strong, why don't we ask for help from the Sun Temple?" Belinda asked: "Since they are our backers, they should be our protectors. They have reasons to protect us from other enemies." enemy threat."

The old patriarch shook his head and said: "You don't understand, although the Sun Temple is indeed our backer, but all along, our Hercules family has actually been taking advantage of the Sun Temple and using their name to develop power And for thousands of years, every time the Temple of the Sun asks us to do something, it always pays a very high profit. In comparison, we can do very little for them. Therefore, the Temple of the Sun does not owe us anything , but we owe them. In such a situation, although the Association of Soul Thinkers is involved, there are only three people on the other side. To put it bluntly, it is still a secular dispute, and it is our Hercules face. To put it bluntly, we are still aggressive In the past, the Temple of the Sun is God's representative agency in the world, and we would rather be lofty than participate in worldly affairs, so we are not qualified to ask them for help in terms of emotion and reason."

Belinda said sadly: "Then what to do, the opponent is so powerful, even if we have more than 2000 combat power, even if we barely win, many people will die this time. This is absolutely not for our family. There are many good things, Uncle Panxi died, and the seventh brother also died, I don't want more people in the family to die."

"If I didn't agree with Dragon's plan, we could live in peace with each other." The old patriarch's face showed that unhealthy flush again: "But it's impossible now, and it's my fault to put it bluntly. , I always thought that no matter how strong the opponent is, they will be limited by the anti-element force field. With the advantage of numbers, we can win. I misjudged the ability of people, and I value my own judgment too much. Wait for this matter In the end, regardless of victory or defeat, I will give the family an explanation."

"Grandpa Zeng, you can't say such a thing!" Belinda was shocked, she heard the old patriarch's death intention.

"Everything is said, there is no reason to say it." The old patriarch chuckled twice, and he said: "Belinda, you are a younger generation, a relatively outstanding person, and a woman can reach your level There are very few people. After a while, the men will go out to fight, and I can't guarantee whether they will win or lose. Those old people, women and children will be handed over to you. You take them away from the secret path behind the mountain. Wait for news from us outside the city. If we win, you will come back. If we lose, you will take them away. The farther you go, the better. Apart from the Garfield who fought against us, there are also Many insidious lone wolves are staring at us, waiting for us to show signs of fatigue, and then they will come out of the darkness and attack us relentlessly. Therefore, you must take them away to preserve the blood of our Hercules family , in order to make a comeback in the future.”

Belinda shook her head vigorously: "Grandpa Zeng, I won't leave, I'm also a warrior, and I want to join the battle."

"This is the order of the patriarch." The old patriarch stood up, then ignored Belinda who was lying on the ground in pain, and was going to go back to the room to sit and rest for a while.In this case, it is useless to be calm, no matter how anxious you are.

At this time, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, because he saw three people on the balcony... two women and one man, all extremely handsome.He is very familiar with these three people. Every once in a while, the old patriarch will look at their portraits. He can be sure that these three people must be servants of the sun god.

"I have seen three nobles." The old patriarch knelt down on one knee, although he looked old.But in terms of age, none of the three in front of him is younger than him.

Belinda also quickly wiped away her tears and prostrated herself on the ground. She was still a little happy. At such a critical moment, a servant of the sun god appeared, which showed that the temple of the sun god had also noticed the plight of their family. , that means things will definitely take a turn for the better.

"We heard your alarm bell ring nineteen times." Alpha took a step forward, among the three of them.She is the most emotional: "We also know what this means. Although we don't interfere with secular affairs, the Pope still sends us to see what is going on, no matter how you say it. You are also considered The peripheral forces of our Sun Temple."

Hearing this, the old patriarch couldn't help but be overjoyed.He explained the cause of what happened.He said it completely, without any concealment, including the fact that his family was wrong and aggressive.Because he knew very well that lying in front of the servant of the sun god was a very stupid behavior.

After listening to the words.Alpha's eyes lit up: "Oh, it's armor that can suppress the anti-element force field? This matter has something to do with our Sun Temple. I'm going to take a look, Graham, you go back and report the matter to the Pope. I Follow the past and see what's going on."

The male new human nodded, flew into the sky, and left the City Lord's Mansion.And Alpha and another female new human descendant stayed in the room.A few servants brought the best fruit wine, then they bowed their heads and retreated without even looking at it.In Sun Chasing City, few ordinary people dare to face the Sun God Servant face to face, because that means disrespect to the God's residence.

After taking a sip of fruit wine, Alpha said: "Headmaster of Hercules, please prepare two black one-piece cloaks for us. When you attack later, we will mix in the crowd. If the situation is as we expected , we may help you, if it doesn’t match what we expected, then..."

Alpha didn't go on talking, the old patriarch naturally knew what it meant.He nodded, and soon two sets of black cloaks were delivered.With the addition of the Sun God Servant, Belinda felt much more at ease, but she still decided to carry out the plan of the old patriarch, and let her lead the group of old people, women and children to hide first. It is always a good thing to have other preparations for everything.

On the other side, Chen Xiansong saw that Ma Huameng still had a painful expression on her face, she thought for a while and said, "Xiao Min, do the math, how much will it take to drive the emergency medical hovercraft here outside the city?" time."

"It can be executed within 25 minutes. If the priority is the highest, it can be completed within 10 minutes." Bai Min's eyes flowed over the two-second data tape, and then he gave the answer.

The priority of what to do, in the settings of the cyborg, is the question of whether the means used to complete a certain thing are excessive.The highest priority refers to the fastest way to achieve the goal without killing citizens, including legal destruction of public property and the use of weapons of mass destruction.

Chen Xiansong thought for a while and said, "Then take the highest priority."

Bai Min nodded, and then disappeared in the room in an instant. Half a second later, a violent whirlwind blew up in the room, knocking down a lot of furniture.Bai Qianxin was sitting on the chair, she could feel that now that the big battle was coming, she had to rest more and accumulate more strength to protect her Xiao Song.

Chen Xiansong took another look at Ma Huameng, and then went downstairs.The doorway on the first floor was already soaked in thick blood.The pungent smell of blood made Chen Xiansong think he had walked into a livestock slaughterhouse.In the inner room on the first floor, Chen Xiansong found Messi's family. The three of them were hiding in the corner of the room, trembling.

Messi felt that he was very unlucky, his wife's illness was about to be cured, but the prescription given by the nobleman actually attracted the greed of the clover medical center. If it weren't for the protection of the nobleman, their family would definitely be dead , but he never expected that members of the Hercules family were actually involved in these matters.

He knew that his family would not be able to stay in the Zhuricheng family in the future, and it was a good choice to follow Chen Xiansong. In his eyes, Chen Xiansong was a good man, kind, easy to talk, and most importantly, his wife The disease, he can order.But such an image was forcibly overthrown by some force more than an hour ago.

When Dragon commanded the city guards and knights to attack, he hid at home and watched the whole process through the slits in the window. After all, this is his home, how could he think that others were fighting and killing at his door Killed, but he was sleeping soundly at home.In the end, he saw an astonishing scene of reconciliation.

When hundreds of knights rushed towards him like a tsunami, he thought he was going to die, but he didn't expect that a white figure was like a huge mountain, blocking the door of his house, and all the waves were repelled by her. It became flakes of feeble foam.Blood, severed limbs, and disgusting viscera flew around in front of his eyes, and within a minute, he vomited and crawled into the room, hugging his wife and children, trembling all over. non-stop.

Looking at the appearance of the three of them, Chen Xiansong was also quite uncomfortable. He knelt down and said, "Messi, this is our fault. We have done bad things with good intentions and brought you down. But don't worry, we will definitely protect you." Your safety will not allow you to be harmed in the slightest."

Messi came back to his senses, trying to make an ugly smile on his pale face: "Your Excellency, thank you, thank you."

Seeing the other party's expression, Chen Xiansong could only sigh.He had seen the scene outside two or three times, so he was very resistant. Bai Min killed human beings, just like slaughtering animals, without any hesitation or compassion at all, making it extremely bloody.

Such a scene is far from being acceptable to a commoner living peacefully in Sun Chasing City.Chen Xiansong stood up and said, "Stand up first, and immediately go out of the city. This place is no longer suitable for you to stay. There is a small forest on the north side of the city. You stay there and wait for us to find it." You guys, do you understand?"

Messi wanted to leave here a long time ago. He nodded when he heard the words, and immediately stood up, hugged his son, pulled his wife, touched a money bag by the bed, and immediately walked out of the house. As soon as he opened the door, both of them His legs almost fell to the ground. The four masked corpses outside made him terrified, but as the head of the family, he still had some responsibility. He immediately covered his son's eyes, then took his wife's hand and walked along the road. The edge of the small building, kicked down the fence, and escaped from this hellish place.

Chen Xiansong actually planned to leave. Xiao Min killed so many people in the other party, which would definitely cause the other party to retaliate wildly.Now he also has a certain understanding of the noble family, and those guys value the honor and disgrace of the family more than their own lives.But she can't get out of this situation now. Ma Huameng said that she can't move and must protect her.He felt that since he had agreed, he had to do it. Of course, it seemed that he had not done it perfectly.

Back on the third floor, Chen Xiansong went to the balcony to have a look and found Pan Xi's body. He sighed softly and covered the other's face with a white cloth.

As time passed, Ma Huameng's expression seemed to be getting better, and Chen Xiansong did not dare to guarantee whether this perception was his own illusion.About 7 minutes later, Bai Min hadn't come back yet, but Chen Xiansong could already hear rumbling footsteps coming from all directions.

Bai Qianxin opened her eyes and stood up from the chair. She said slowly: "Xiao Song, we are surrounded. There are many people on the other side, there should be about 2000 people, there are many strong people, it is very troublesome."

After Bai Qianxin finished speaking, she summoned the exorcism stone armor and put it on.Chen Xiansong immediately put on the Osi sacred robe, this armor can improve his physical strength and protect him to a certain extent from the influence of Ruya.

The 2000 people gradually approached the civilian area.Alpha wore a black cloak and mixed in the crowd. She sniffed the smell in the air, and then smiled softly. She always thought that Bai Qianxin had run away and left Sun Chaser City, but she didn't expect that she would find it here. Could it be that the woman in white who killed more than 400 people in front of her was Bai Qianxin.

Why hasn't she left yet?Alpha was a little puzzled, but she quickly put the question behind her. Now she just wanted to catch Bai Qian's heart again and let her 'give birth' to her offspring. (To be continued..)
